(A) General; distances. The location of off-street parking spaces in relation to the use served shall be as prescribed hereinafter. All distances specified shall be walking distances from a main entrance of the use served to the nearest point of the parking facility.
(B) For uses in residence districts. Parking spaces accessory to dwellings shall be located on the same zoning lot as the use served and may be located in any yards except required front yards but shall be permitted in the driveway. The private parking area shall be used solely for the parking of passenger automobiles or the vehicles owned or operated by the occupants of the dwelling structures. When two or more parking spaces are required there shall be an unobstructed parking space for each vehicle such as a double garage, double driveway, or separate parking stalls. In no instance shall a vehicle used, or designed to be used, as a commercial, governmental, or other business type purpose, exceeding one-ton capacity be parked in a residential area, except for normal loading, unloading, or service, except by a special use permit. A special use permit shall be required for a parking lot that serves an adjacent commercial or related use, or a commercial use on a lot across the street but not more than 200 linear feet from the use served. This use shall meet the requirements of §§ 93.162 and 93.178.
(C) For uses in business and manufacturing districts. All required parking spaces shall be within 1,000 feet of the use served, except that spaces accessory to dwelling units (other than those located in a transient hotel) shall be within 300 feet of the use served. However, no parking spaces accessory to a use in a business or manufacturing district shall be located in a residence district, except that private, free, and off-street parking accessory to such uses, may be allowed by special use permit within 500 feet of an adjacent to any business or manufacturing district.
(D) Off-site parking facilities. When required parking facilities are provided on land other than the zoning lot on which the building or use served by such facilities is located, they shall be and remain in the same possession or ownership as the zoning lot occupied by the building or use to which the parking facilities are accessory. No off-site parking facilities shall be authorized and no building permit shall be issued where the plans call for parking facilities other than on the same zoning lot until and unless the Zoning Administrator has reviewed the plans, and heard the applicant, and made findings that the common ownership or possession of the zoning lot and the site of the parking facilities are reasonably certain to continue and that the off-site parking facilities will be maintained at all times during the life of the proposed use or building.
(E) Other uses, parking. For uses not listed in this schedule of parking requirements, parking spaces shall be provided on the same basis as required for the most similar listed use as determined by the Zoning Administrator and as approved by the Land Use Committee.
