The location, width, and number of entrance and exit access drives to parking spaces shall be in accordance with the following:

(b) Number of Drives.
(1) Each parcel shall have not more than two access drives from each abutting street unless otherwise permitted below.
(2) One additional access drive may be permitted for lots that have 200 or more feet of frontage on one street.
(3) The Planning Commission may permit an additional access drive for lots that have more than 500 feet of frontage when the Commission determines it is in the interest of good traffic operation.
(4) Insofar as practical, the use of common drives by two (2) or more uses shall be encouraged to reduce the number of such highway access points.
(5) Number of Lanes. One-way entrances and exits shall be limited to two (2) lanes and all other access drives shall be limited to three (3) lanes.
(6) Width. Access drives shall have a width per lane of not less than nine (9) feet or more than twelve (12) feet and a total width of not more than thirty-six (36) feet, measured at the street right-of-way.
(7) Radius. The radius of the edge of the access drive apron shall be at least thirty (30) feet so that a vehicle may enter from or exit onto the curb lane without obstructing vehicles in other traffic lanes.
