(A)
Parking space shall not be located in a dedicated right-of-way or in a required front yard within an R-1 or R-2 Residential District. Parking spaces shall be provided with access to a street or alley and with adequate turning space so that vehicles are not required to exit by backing into the street or alley.
(B) Each parking space shall be at least 200 square feet plus space for access and maneuvering.
(C) All new parking lots, other than those for a private residential structure, shall provide at least one handicapped parking space or at least one space per 25 spaces, whichever is greater. Handicapped parking spaces shall be at least 13 feet wide and 19 feet long, marked with a sign, located adjacent to a curb cut, be near the main entrance of the building served by the parking lot and conform in all other respects to Volume 1-C of the North Carolina State Building Code.
(D) Combined parking spaces. The parking spaces required for separate uses may be combined in one lot, however, the required space for one use may not be assigned to another use, except that one-half of the parking spaces required for churches, theaters or assembly halls whose peak attendance will be at night or on Sundays may be assigned to a use which will be dosed at night or Sundays.
(E) Location on other property. If off-street parking space cannot be reasonably provided on the same lot of the principal use, such space may be provided on a remote lot within 400 feet of the main entrance to the principal use, provided the lot is in the same ownership as the principal use. The parking area shall not be used for any other purpose unless adequate space has been made for the principal use at another remote lot consistent with the requirements of this section. In such case, application for a Certificate of Compliance shall include an executed instrument which subjects said land to parking use in connection with the principal use or for which it is made available. Upon the payment of the necessary fee and the issuance of a building permit, the Zoning Administrator shall cause the said instrument to be registered in the Registry of Deeds of Cherokee County.
