(a) Where a parking facility is within a residential zone or adjoins land in a residential zone that is neither recommended for commercial or industrial use on an approved and adopted master or sector plan, nor used for public or private off-street parking, nor in a public right-of-way that is 120 feet or more in width, residential setbacks apply as follows: All parking surfaces, spaces and driveways must be set back a distance not less than the applicable front, rear or side yard setback required for the property in the residential zone that adjoins or confronts the applicable boundary of the parking facility. In addition, screening must be provided in accordance with the screening requirements of section 59-E-2.9.
(b) The residential setbacks required by paragraph (a) above are modified in the following situations:
(1) If a parking facility adjoins an existing or planned public right-of-way that is 120 feet or more in width, the provision for a landscaped strip, as stated in section 59-E-2.71, applies to the property line abutting that right-of-way in lieu of the residential setback.
(2) If a parking facility adjoins land that is classified in a multifamily zone, only the minimum yard requirement of the multifamily residential zone applies. Any increased setback based on building height that may be specified in the multifamily zone is not applicable to the parking facility.
(3) If a parking facility is located on agriculturally or residentially-zoned land in a designated historic district in conjunction with a commercial use also located in the historic district, the applicable setbacks for parking surfaces, spaces and driveways may be waived by the Planning Board at the time of site plan review under Division 59-D-3 in accordance with the provisions of Sec. 59-A-6.22.
