§ 154.229 OFF-STREET PARKING AREA DESIGN.
   (A)   Each off-street parking space for automobiles shall be a minimum of nine feet by 20 feet in area, exclusive of access drives or aisles, and shall be of useable shape and condition.
   (B)   There shall be provided a minimum access drive of ten feet in width, and where a turning radius is necessary, it will be of such an arc as to reasonably allow an unobstructed flow of vehicles.
   (C)   Parking aisles for automobiles shall be of sufficient width to allow a minimum turning movement in and out of parking spaces. The minimum width of such aisles shall be:
      (1)   For 90-degree or perpendicular parking, the aisle shall not be less than 22 feet in width;
      (2)   For 60-degree parking, the aisle shall not be less than 18 feet;
      (3)   For 45-degree parking, the aisle shall not be less than 13 feet in width; and
      (4)   For parallel parking, the aisle shall not be less than ten feet in width.
   (D)   All off-street parking spaces shall not be closer than five feet to any property line, except where a wall, fence or compact planting strip exists as a parking barrier along the property line.
   (E)   All off-street parking areas shall be drained so as to prevent runoff onto abutting properties and shall be constructed of materials which will have a dust-free surface resistant to erosion.
   (F)   Any lighting fixtures used to illuminate any off-street parking area shall be so arranged as to reflect the light away from any adjoining residential lot or institutional premises.
   (G)   All off-street parking areas that make it necessary for vehicles to back out directly into a public road are prohibited, provided that this prohibition shall not apply to off-street parking areas of one- or two-family dwellings.
   (H)   All off-street parking areas will comply with the size and number of barrier-free parking spaces as required by the Michigan Barrier Free Code and/or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
