§ 1272.04 GARAGE AREAS.
   (A)   The minimum garage area required for a unit shall be 200 square feet per 1,200 square feet, or fraction thereof, of air conditioned and/or heated area in the dwelling unit. All dwelling units in excess of 1,201 square feet of air conditioned and/or heated area shall be required to have 400 square feet of garage area.
   (B)   Garages at grade level should be designed, wherever practical to do so, so that the doors are turned so as not to face directly upon a dedicated public street, except in the case of single-family, fee simple owned, dwelling units. Every effort should be made to recess or otherwise screen the garage doors of multi- family dwelling units from dedicated public streets. Entrance courts or other similar landscape forms are encouraged and recommended.
   (C)   One open parking space may be permitted near the entrance of the dwelling unit served. Open parking for more than two parking spaces shall be screened by walls or hedges or shall have a buffer strip of landscaped area surrounding the same. The paved areas for more than 12 parking spaces shall be interrupted with landscaped planting areas.
