(A) Every building erected after March 25, 1957 shall provide off-street parking space for motor vehicles as specified hereinafter for the use to which the building is to be devoted, as set forth in Table 4 and footnotes thereto (as set forth in Appendix D following this chapter). The off-street parking requirements apply irrespective of the district in which the use is located. Parking spaces may be open or enclosed, but if in an open area must be paved with a dust-proof or hard surface meeting standard specifications established by the city. Unless otherwise indicated, required parking spaces may be provided off-lot from the principal use, but within 300 feet, if the site is approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals. In addition, groups of uses requiring vehicle parking space may join in establishing group parking areas with capacity aggregating that required for each participating use.
(B) Except Residential B -Rural, all buildings erected shall have completely paved driveways with a dust-proof or hard surface meeting standard specifications established by the city. Buildings erected in Residential B -Rural must have paved driveways at least 50 feet in length from the city street toward the building and paved with a dust-proof or hard surface meeting standard specifications established by the city. Additionally, in Residential B - Rural, any portion of the driveway that is within 100 feet of an existing residential building shall be paved with a dust-proof or hard surface meeting standard specifications established by the city.
(C) In order to meet requirements for vehicle parking space, where the space is not available on the lot occupied by a building, as specified in Table 4, (set forth in Appendix D following this chapter) the Board of Zoning Appeals may, after receipt of a favorable report from the Plan 1 Commission on the proposal, and after public notice and hearing, grant a permit for the establishment of a parking lot in an “R-A” or “R-B” District, provided that the entire area of the parking lot is within 300 feet of an “LB-A,” “LB-B,” or “I” District or, in the case of a church or other place of congregation in an “A” District, immediately adjacent to the church or other place of congregation, and provided further that:
(1) There shall be no sales, dead storage, repair work, dismantling, or servicing of any kind on the parking lot;
(2) Entrances and exits shall be approved as to location by the Plan Commission;
(3) No parking shall be permitted nearer than two feet from the front or side lot line;
(4) Except for otherwise approved entrances and exits, curb or rail not more than two feet in height and not less than eight inches in height
shall be erected so as to conform with the required front lot line and may be required along boundaries of the parking lot as determined by the Plan Commission for the protection of adjoining residentially zoned or used property;
(5) Lighting facilities, if provided, shall be so arranged as to be reflected away from property residentially zoned or used; and
(6) If at any time after the issuance of the required permits any of the above provisions are not complied with, the permits shall be revoked.
