All parking and loading areas shall be developed and maintained as follows.
(A) Surfacing. Areas used for standing and maneuvering of vehicles shall have durable and dustless surfaces maintained adequately for all weather use and drained to avoid flow of water across public sidewalks.
(B) Screening. When any public parking or loading area is within or adjacent to a residential zone, such parking or loading area shall be screened from all residential properties with an ornamental fence, wall or hedge of at least five feet in height, but not more than six feet in height, except where vision clearance is required.
(C) Periphery. Parking spaces along the outer boundaries of a parking lot shall be contained by a bumper rail or a curb at least four inches high and set back a minimum of four feet from the property line.
(D) Lighting. Artificial lighting which may be provided shall not create or reflect substantial glare in a residential zone or on an adjacent dwelling.
(E) Design of parking spaces and driveways. Off-street parking lots shall be designed in accordance with city standards for stalls and aisles as set forth in the following drawing and table:
Notes:
1. For one (1) row of stalls use “C” plus “D” as minimum bay width.
2. Public alley width may be included as part of dimension “D,” but all parking stalls must be on private property, off the public right-of-way.
3. For estimating available parking area, use 350 square feet per vehicle for stall, aisle and access areas.
4. The stall width for self-parking of long duration is eight and one-half feet; for higher turnover self-parking is nine feet; and for supermarkets and similar facilities is nine and one-half feet to ten feet.
5. The minimum aisle width for two-way traffic and for emergency vehicle operations area is 24 feet. The minimum aisle width for emergency vehicle access (open way traffic is 20 feet).
6. Where appropriate bumper overhang area is provided (extruded curbs), “G” can be subtracted from “C” to determine stall depth.
7. Dimensions of required recreational vehicle spaces are ten feet by 25 feet.
