(a) All residential buildings or nonresidential buildings in a Residential District shall be provided with required paved parking areas on the same lot with the building or on a lot immediately adjacent to the lot with the building intended to be served.
(b) Such parking areas shall not be located in any required front yard or required side yard, except that in a case of a dwelling with a driveway leading to a garage or parking area, the drive may be used for parking. Yard setback requirements for parking areas shall be the same as those required for buildings in the Residential District in which such parking is located.
(c) In no case shall a permitted off-street parking space or area be located closer than the required side yard setback to the side property line, or closer than five (5) feet from the rear property line. A residential driveway shall not be located closer than the required side yard setback to a side property line.
(d) The construction of a paved parking pad in accordance with Section 1288.14(b) may be allowed to be constructed at least three (3) feet from the side lot line, but not to include any area directly in front of the living area of the principal structure. The paved parking pad must be graded to control water runoff onto owners' lots. No such pad shall be constructed in excess of ten (10) feet by twenty (20) feet and no parked vehicles or any mass on such pad shall exceed ten (10) feet by twenty (20) feet by nine (9) feet in height. Every such pad shall be served by a paved driveway which shall be of adequate size to carry all traffic using such pad back to the main driveway prior to the sidewalk or road right-of-way and shall comply with Section 1288.14. These paved parking pad requirements do not apply to the recreational vehicle storage requirements described in Section 1288.21(a).
(e) All parking areas, except for single-family detached and two-family dwellings, shall be screened on all sides abutting a Residential District or a street. Such screening shall consist of an ornamental fence, or a planting hedge not less than three (3) feet nor more than six (6) feet high of a type which will obscure vision at all seasons from adjoining property. If a hedge is used, the above minimum height shall be achieved no more than three (3) years after planting.
(f) No parking area shall be used for parking or storing of any commercial vehicle exceeding one (1) ton in capacity in a Residential District.
(g) No commercial repair work, servicing or selling of any kind shall be conducted on such areas, and no sign of any kind other than those indicating entrances, exits, and conditions of use shall be erected thereon. No charge shall be made for parking or storage of vehicles.
