Wheel guards, including bumper guards as may be necessary, shall be provided in connection with any off-street parking area of five cars or more, and shall be constructed so as to confine the stormwater surface drainage to the premises; to contain cars on sloping surfaces; and to prevent bumper overhang.

In all “B” and “I” district areas, open off-street parking facilities may occupy the required rear yard.
(F) Locating. The parking spaces required for dwelling units shall be located on the lot and parking spaces required for other uses shall be located on the lot or within 500 feet of the main use, measured along a lines of public access to the property, but shall not be allowed in residential districts except as provided in § 153.333.
