(A) Spaces.
(1) Each required parking space shall be at least nine feet wide and 19 feet long, and shall have at least seven feet of vertical clearance.
(2) Every space shall be situated so that no part of any parked vehicle can overhang the public right-of-way, public or private sidewalks, or property lines.
(3) For multi-family residential, commercial, and industrial uses, markings shall be laid and restored as often as necessary to clearly delineate each parking space.
(B) Interior aisles. Aisles within parking lots in multi-family residential, commercial, and industrial districts shall be sufficiently wide to permit safe and efficient vehicular movement in the aisles, and into and out of parking spaces. Aisles designed for two-way traffic shall be at least 24 feet wide. One-way aisles designed for 60-degree parking shall be at least 20 feet wide.
(C) Access way.
(1) Parking areas in the multi-family residential, commercial, and industrial districts shall be designed so that ingress to and egress from a parking space is from an aisle or driveway, not directly from the public right-of-way.
(2) No access way to any parking area shall be located within 30 feet of any corner formed by the intersection of the rights-of-way of two or more streets. At intersections where traffic-control devices are installed, the Code Official may increase this requirement as necessary to prevent traffic hazards.
(3) The access way to every parking lot located in any commercial and industrial zoning district shall be at least 24 feet wide unless two one-way drives, each 12 feet wide, are provided.
(4) The access way to every parking area located in the multi-family residential zoning district shall be at least ten feet wide; but if the parking area contains more than eight parking spaces or if the access way is longer than 100 feet, access shall be provided either by one two-way drive at least 20 feet wide or by two one-way drives, each at least ten feet wide.
(D) Lighting. Any light(s) used to illuminate any parking area shall be arranged or shielded so as to confine direct light rays within the parking area boundary lines to the greatest extent practicable.
