Every lot hereafter used as a public or private parking area, including a public parking lot and also a motor vehicle or trailer sales lot, shall be developed and maintained in accordance with the following requirements:
(a) Screening and Landscaping. Off-street parking areas for more than five vehicles shall be effectively screened on each side which adjoins or faces premises situated in any residence district or institutional premises, by a masonry wall or solid fence. Such wall or fence shall be not less than four feet in height and shall be maintained in good condition. Where the capacity of the parking area exceeds thirty vehicles, it shall be screened by a masonry wall of a height hereinabove prescribed.
(b) Minimum Distances and Setbacks. No part of any parking area for more than five vehicles shall be closer than ten feet to any dwelling, school, hospital or other institution for human care located on an adjoining lot, unless screened by an unpierced masonry wall, provided that parking areas for twenty-five or more automobiles or for trucks and buses shall also comply with the provisions of Chapter 1276. If not in a residence district, but adjoining such district, that part of the parking area within fifty feet of any residence district shall not be located within twenty feet from the established street right-of-way line.
(c) Surfacing. Any off-street parking area for more than five vehicles shall be surfaced with an asphaltic or Portland cement binder pavement so as to provide a durable and dustless surface, shall be so graded and drained as to dispose of all surface water accumulated within the area, and shall be so arranged and marked as to provide for orderly and safe loading or unloading and parking and storage of self-propelled vehicles.
(d) Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate any off-street parking area shall be so arranged as to reflect the light away from adjoining premises in the district.
