   (a)   On the same premises with every building, structure or part thereof, erected and occupied for the purpose of serving customers in their automobiles by means of a service window or similar arrangement, such as drive-in banks or cleaning establishments, where the automobile engine is not turned off, there shall be provided four (4) off-street stacking spaces for each service window or transaction station. Eight (8) off-street stacking shall be provided for each drive-thru transaction station of a restaurant.
   (b)   Self-service motor vehicle car wash establishments shall provide four (4) off-street stacking spaces for each washing stall. Quick oil change facilities and motor vehicle car wash establishments other than self service, shall provide stacking spaces equal in number to five (5) times the maximum capacity of the motor vehicle wash for automobiles awaiting entrance. "Maximum capacity" shall mean the greatest number possible of automobiles undergoing some phase of washing at the same time, which shall be determined by dividing the length of each wash line by twenty (20) feet. A drying lane fifty (50) feet long shall also be provided at the exit of the washing stalls in order to prevent undue amounts of water from collecting on the public street and thereby creating a traffic hazard.
   (c)   An off-street waiting space is defined as an area ten (10) feet wide by twenty (20) feet long. (Ord. 1166. Passed 9-24-01.)
