§ 154.127 ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS; PARKING.
   (A)   Use of parking facilities. Off-street parking facilities accessory to residential use and developed in any residential district in accordance with the requirements of this chapter shall be used solely for the parking of passenger automobiles owned by occupants of the dwelling structures to which the facilities are accessory or by guests of the occupants. Under no circumstances shall required parking facilities accessory to residential structures be used for the storage of commercial vehicles or for the parking of automobiles belonging to the employees, owners, tenants, visitors or customers of business or manufacturing establishments.
   (B)   Joint parking facilities. Off-street parking facilities for different buildings, structures or uses, or for mixed uses, may be provided collectively in any zoning district in which separate parking facilities for each constituent use would be permitted, provided that the total number of spaces so located together shall not be less than the sum of the separate requirements of each use.
   (C)   Computation. When determination of the number of off-street parking spaces required by this subchapter results in a requirement of a fractional space, any fraction of one-half or less may be disregarded, while a fraction in excess of one-half shall be counted as one parking space.
   (D)   Size.
      (1)   A required off-street parking space shall be at least nine feet in width and at least 20 feet in length, exclusive of access drives or aisles, ramps, columns or office or work areas. The space shall have a vertical clearance of at least seven feet.
      (2)   Aisle widths shall be less than the following, perpendicular parking 20 feet; angle parking two-way traffic 16 feet, one-way 12 feet.
   (E)   Access. Each required off-street parking space shall open directly upon an aisle or driveway of such width and design as to provide safe and efficient means of vehicular access to such parking space. All off-street parking facilities shall be designed with appropriate means of vehicular access to a street or alley in a manner which will least interfere with traffic movements. No driveway across public property, nor curb cut, shall exceed a width of 40 feet.
   (F)   In yards. Off-street parking required for uses permitted in residential districts may be located in a required rear yard only. Off-street parking for permitted uses in manufacturing, industrial or business districts may be located in a required rear or front yard, except the 20 feet adjacent to the front lot line and ten feet adjacent to the rear lot line.
