In addition to specific requirements contained in each district's regulations, the location of off-street parking facilities shall further be regulated according to the following provisions:
(a) The parking spaces required for residential buildings in a Residential District shall be located on the same lot with the building or use served.
(b) The required parking area for a one-family, two-family or multi-family residential building shall not be provided in the front yard; if it is provided in the side yard it shall be located not less than three feet from the side lot line. On corner lots abutting dedicated streets, the rear of the front setback shall not be approved for a driveway to a detached garage in the rear property. Where the provisions of this Code cannot be met and will not adversely affect the integrity of said Code the Chief Building Official may allow approval.
(c) The parking spaces required for any other building shall be located directly adjacent to the main building it is to serve, except where no other vacant land is available it may be located within 500 feet of the building measured from the nearest point and may be across an alley or street but not across a major thoroughfare.
Where the required parking spaces are not located on the same lot with the building or use served, the usage of the lot or tract upon which the parking spaces are provided shall be restricted by an instrument of record describing the premises for which the parking is provided and assuring the retention of such parking so long as required by this Zoning Code.
(d) All parking areas, storage areas, and areas where cars, car parts, trucks and vehicles are to be located, including driveways for multi-family, business or industrial areas shall have a durable impervious surface of four inches of final thickness highway surface grade asphalt (closed pore) over a base of one to three inch size stone, four inches depth or, six inches of final thickness highway surface grade asphalt, or six inch thickness of concrete, (six sack mix), over a base of compacted earth. Aprons shall be a minimum of twenty feet in width. The base shall be comprised of the same materials as used for residential driveways. There shall be appropriate bumper guards where needed. There shall be adequate lighting arranged so that adjacent residential areas will be shielded.
