(1) The minimum size of a compact or small car parking space must be 8'0" in width by 16'0" in length.
(2) The required maneuvering space and drive aisle width are detailed in Figure 166. Minimum Parking layout Dimension Requirements .
(3) The Planning Commission may modify or adjust the required aisle width when the entire aisle is for compact or small car spaces only.
(4) Compact or small car parking spaces must be clustered in groups or at the end of a row, and not intermixed with spaces designed for full size cars. Compact or small car parking space must be designated as being for the exclusive use of compact or small cars through the use of signage or markings.
(c) Shorter Parking Stall Length. The requirements for parking stall length may be reduced by two (2) feet where 90-degree parking abuts a sidewalk, other pavement, or sodded area at the front of the stalls provided such pavement or sidewalk measures a minimum of eight (8) feet in width, or at least two (2) additional feet of landscaped area are provided to account for the vehicle overhang.
(d) Stacked Parking. Stacked parking spaces are prohibited.
(e) Maneuvering Lane Width. All maneuvering lanes must be of sufficient width to permit one-way traffic movement, except that 90-degree pattern must permit two-way movement.
(f) Maneuvering Lane Access. All spaces must be provided adequate access by means of maneuvering lanes. Backing directly onto a street, or requiring the use of a street for a maneuvering lane is prohibited. Parking spaces must be clearly identified and marked with durable striping to distinguish the boundaries of the maneuvering lane and parking stalls.
