353.02 LANDSCAPING.
   The Safety Director may require landscaping screening around such parking lots along boundary lines abutting residential property, if he determines that such abutting residential property is being depreciated by such use. (Ord. 145-1956. Passed 8-24-56.)
353.03 REGULATIONS TO BE POSTED; VIOLATORS DEEMED TRESPASSERS.
   The Safety Director shall require the owners and operators of parking lots having an area of 10,000 square feet or more to establish and post regulations to control speed, excessive noise and pertinent rules of the road which will prevent nuisances to adjoining properties. Anyone violating such posted regulations shall be deemed a trespasser upon the complaint of the owner or operator of such parking lots.
   The Safety Director is directed to require the posting of regulations on all parking lots, as such may be required in order to maintain ingress and egress to the City streets, regulate parking, and other matters that may interfere with the free flow of traffic. Anyone violating such posted regulations shall be deemed a trespasser upon the complaint of the owner or operator of such parking lots.
   Owners and/or operators of parking lots, as provided in this chapter, shall designate a resident operator who shall be available to cooperate with the police in the enforcement of this chapter, if so required by the Safety Director. (Ord. 160-1956. Passed 9-10-56.)
353.04 PREMISES.
   The owners, operators, persons, corporations and firms, controlling or using parking lots incidental to the operation of retail, commercial or light industrial businesses shall comply with the following provisions:
   (a)   The driveways and parking space shall be smoothly graded, hard-surfaced with asphalt, asphalt-concrete or concrete and adequately drained. Surface waters shall not be permitted to be discharged over or onto public sidewalks or roadways or adjoining premises. Lighting of such parking lots shall be reflected away from adjacent residences in the area and so arranged as to cause no annoying glare.
   (b)   Wherever a parking lot or driveway thereto adjoins a residential area, such parking lot and/or driveway shall be effectively screened by a suitable masonry wall or hedges placed at least three feet distant from the adjoining property line and extending to the building setback line. Along the street frontage of every such parking lot there shall be constructed a curb or barrier set at a distance of at least five feet from the street line, not over two feet in height and of such design and construction as to prevent any portion of a vehicle parking in such area from overhanging any portion of the public street.
   (c)   No bus, trailer, semitrailer, van or truck of more than one-half ton capacity shall be permitted to be parked on such parking lots continuously for a period exceeding twenty-four hours, except in case of emergency; and whenever such emergency occurs the owner or operator or person in charge shall immediately notify the Police Division of such fact. Trucks not exceeding one ton capacity which are regularly used in the business for which such parking lot is an adjunct, are exempted from the provisions of this subsection.
   (d)   No vehicle of any kind which is damaged or in need of repairs, shall be parked continuously in such lots for a period exceeding forty-eight hours. Whenever the owner, operator or person in charge is unable to remove such vehicles from the parking areas he shall immediately notify the Director of Safety of such fact together with his reasons for his inability to have such vehicle removed. The Safety Director may then extend such period of continuous parking for an additional period of forty-eight hours.
