The alignments of access ways shall intersect the abutting street lines approximately at right angles (variations not to exceed 20 degrees).
(2) All parking aisles and parking spaces shall be entirely within the lot lines, and not on a public right-of-way. Parking spaces shall be so arranged that no part of any vehicle overhangs the public right-of-way.

(5) No part of an off-street parking area required for any building or use for the purpose of complying with the provisions of this chapter shall be included as a part of an off-street parking space similarly required for another building or use.
