(A) All loading areas and all off-street parking areas for four or more vehicles shall be developed in accordance with the standards of this section, except in the case of one- and two-family dwellings, agricultural and rural uses and storage of vehicular merchandise not counting toward the minimum requirements of this chapter.
(B) Required off-street parking spaces shall be so designed, arranged and regulated as to have individual spaces marked, be unobstructed and have access to an aisle or driveway so that any automobile may be moved without moving another, and so that no maneuvering directly incidental to entering or leaving a parking space shall be on any public right-of-way or walkway.
(C) Off-street parking spaces may be open to the sky or enclosed in a building. In any instance when a building is constructed or used by parking facilities on the zone lot, the building shall be treated as any major structure and subject to all requirements thereof.
(D) No repair work, sales or service of any kind shall be permitted in association with accessory off-street parking facilities unless the facilities are enclosed in a building and otherwise permitted in the zone district.
(E) All open off-street parking and loading areas, including driveways and other circulation areas, shall be surfaced with an all-weather paving material capable of carrying a wheel load of 4,000 pounds, or improved with concrete or a compacted macadam base and surfaced with an asphalt pavement, to adequately provide a durable and dust-free surface which shall be maintained in good condition and free of weeds, dirt, trash and debris.
(F) (1) Driveway entrances or exits shall be no closer than 25 feet to an adjoining residential property line or ten feet to an adjoining non-residential property line or designed in a manner as to least interfere with traffic movement.
(2) No driveway across public property at the right-of-way line shall exceed a width of 30 feet; provided that two driveways not exceeding 30 feet in width each may constitute a single entrance-exit divider designed driveway; provided further that the driveways shall conform to the requirements of engineering departments having jurisdiction thereof.
(G) (1) Any lighting facilities used to illuminate off-street parking areas shall be so located, shielded and directed upon the parking area in such a manner that they do not reflect or cause glare onto adjacent properties or interfere with street traffic.
(2) In no instance shall bare, unshaded bulbs be used for the illumination.
(H) Parking areas shall be graded and properly drained in such a manner that there will be no free flow of water onto either adjacent property or public sidewalks.
(I) Parking areas shall be so lined or designated as to ensure the most efficient use of the parking spaces and shall be provided with bumper guards or wheel guards so located that no part of the parked vehicle will extend beyond the boundary of the established parking area into any minimum required setback area or onto any adjoining property.
