In computing the number of required off-street parking spaces the following rules shall apply:
(a) Floor area shall mean the gross floor area of the specific use, excluding any floor or portion thereof used for parking.
(b) Where fractional spaces result, the parking spaces required shall be the nearest whole number.
(c) In the case of mixed uses, the parking spaces required shall equal the sum of the requirements of the various uses computed separately.
(d) Whenever a building or use constructed or established after January 1, 1963, is changed or enlarged in floor area, number of employees, number of dwelling units, seating capacity or otherwise, parking spaces shall be provided on the basis of the enlargement or change. Whenever a building or use existing prior to January 1, 1963, is reconstructed or is enlarged to the extent of twenty percent or more in floor area, such building or use, in its entirety, shall then and thereafter comply with the parking requirements set forth herein. Any enlargement or change in use of less than twenty percent of the gross floor area shall be provided with parking based on the enlargement or change.
(Ord. 1775. Passed 10-22-73.)
All parking spaces required herein shall be located as follows:
(a) The parking spaces required for residential buildings or uses shall be located on the same lot with the building or use served. The parking spaces required for any other building or use may be located within 200 feet of the building, and two or more owners of buildings may join together in providing the required parking spaces. 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 such parking spaces are provided shall be restricted by an instrument of record describing the premises for which such parking is provided and assuring the retention of such parking so long as required by this Zoning Code.
(b) No parking space may be located in a front yard in any Residential District.
(Ord. 1775. Passed 10-22-73.)
Parking lots and garages shall conform with the following improvement and maintenance standards.
All open parking areas provided in compliance with this Zoning Code shall be surfaced with a durable, dustproof surface consisting of concrete or asphaltic concrete, with adequate base as approved by the designated engineering personnel of the City. The parking areas shall be maintained in a usable dustproof condition and graded and drained to dispose of all surface water. Whenever lighting is provided, it shall be so hooded or shielded as to reflect the light away from abutting or neighboring property, including public rights of way. The location of each parking space and the direction of movement along the access driveways shall be indicated by painting upon the surface of the lot. A structurally sound wall or other abutment shall be installed and so placed around each side of the parking lot to insure that no part of an automobile either extends over or is capable of accidentally rolling across the property line of the parking
lot. (Ord. 1775. Passed 10-22-73; Ord. 2566. Passed 5-22-89.)
