All off-street parking areas for commercial and industrial uses shall be subject to the following standards:
(A) Required off-street parking spaces shall be so designed, arranged and regulated as to have individual spaces marked, be unobstructed and have access to an aisle or driveway so that any automobile maybe moved without moving another, and so that no maneuvering directly incidental to entering or leaving a parking space shall be on any public right-of-way or walkway.
(B) Off-street parking spaces may be open to the sky or enclosed in a building. In any instance when a building is constructed or used by parking facilities on the zone lot, such building shall be treated as any major structure and subject to all requirements thereof.
(C) All open off-street parking areas shall be surfaced with an all-weather paving material capable of carrying a wheel load of 4,000 pounds, or improved with concrete or a compacted macadam base and surfaced with an asphaltic pavement, to adequately provide a durable and dust-free surface that shall be maintained in good condition and free of weeds, dirt, trash and debris.
(D) Such parking areas shall be:
(1) So lined or designated as to insure the most efficient use of the parking spaces; and
(2) Provided with bumper guards or wheel guards so located that no part of the parked vehicle will extend beyond the boundary of the established parking area into any minimum required yard or onto any adjoining property.
(E) Any lighting facilities used to illuminate off-street parking areas shall be located, shielded and directed upon the parking lot area in such a manner that they do not reflect or cause glare onto adjacent properties or interfere with street traffic. In no instance shall bare unshaded bulbs be used for such illumination.
(F) Such parking areas shall be graded and properly drained in such a manner that there will be no free flow of water onto either adjacent property or public sidewalks. Further, any additional run-off generated by such improved areas shall be disposed of in appropriate drainage facilities.
