(B) Fire lanes. Where parking areas have more than two parking bays, drives contiguous to the front of commercial structures shall provide an eight-foot painted fire lane and two 12-foot traffic lanes and be separated from parking areas by an aisle, island or identifiable marking at least three feet in width.
(C) Entrance/exit locations. Entrance or exit drive aisles in parking facilities shall not be located to discharge traffic directly into any portion of a turning lane, taper or an intersection. At the discretion of planning staff, entrance or exit drive aisles may be placed discharging into an intersection only if intersection is marked/signaled in such a way that the drive aisle is treated as an additional right-of-way turning movement in the intersection.
