A. Generally. The purpose of this Section 8.7.4.2. is to regulate the placement of parking lots within a non- residential development. Parking lots should be distributed around large buildings in order to shorten the distance to other buildings and public sidewalks and to reduce the overall scale of the paved surface. If buildings are located closer to streets, the scale of the complex is reduced, pedestrian traffic is encouraged, and architectural details should be emphasized.
B. Parking Placement. No more than sixty percent (60%) of the off-street parking area for the entire property shall be located between the front facade within the front yard of the principal building(s) and the primary abutting street unless the principal building(s) and parking lots are screened from view by outparcel buildings and development.
