A. Location: Parking spaces shall be on the same lot with the main building, or in case of buildings and parking in commercial or manufacturing zones, the parking may be located no further than five hundred feet (500') from the building for which it provides parking.
B. Hard Surface: All required commercial and manufacturing stalls and residential developments over two (2) units shall have the parking stalls delineated on the hard surface.
C. Streets, Ways And Alleys: Public streets, ways, or alleys shall not be used for vehicle storage or for providing the required parking spaces.
D. Design: The parking area for all uses except single-family residential or duplexes shall be designed so those vehicles do not back out into the public right-of-way or use the public right-of-way for their parking maneuvers. The parking area shall be designed so that vehicle backing and turning movements will not conflict or obstruct public sidewalks or public streets.

Yards: For all uses, none of the required front yard or side yard facing street on corner lot setback area of the respective zones shall be used for parking, but shall be completely landscaped, except access across and over the required front yard or side yard facing street on corner lot setback is allowed to the side or rear yards. In the case of multiple-family dwellings and nonresidential uses in a residential zone, not more than fifty percent (50%) of the required side and rear yards shall be used for parking or vehicular access lanes. Commercial and manufacturing zones may use the side and rear yard building setbacks for parking or access unless the property line is next to a residential zone and then the required setback on that side which adjoins the residential zone shall not be used for parking or access but shall be landscaped and meet the screening requirements of subsection 15-4-5F of this title.
G. Parking Space And Driveway Surface: Driveways and parking spaces required by this title shall be developed and maintained according to the following standards:
1. Any vehicle driveway or accessway that leads from property onto a public street shall be paved with the materials described in this subsection G.
2. Materials used for driveway and parking areas for manufacturing, commercial or multi-family residential uses are limited to the following:
a. Concrete: Minimum four inch (4") depth that covers the entire area used for access, maneuvering, and parking;
b. Asphalt: Minimum two and one-half inch (21/2") depth that covers the entire area used for access, maneuvering, and parking; or
c. Masonry or stone pavers rated for vehicle weight that cover the entire area used for access, maneuvering, and parking.
3. Materials used for driveway and parking areas for any single family or duplex use are limited to the following:
a. Concrete;
b. Asphalt;
c. Sod block; or
d. Masonry or stone pavers rated for vehicle weight.
4. Driveway and parking spaces for single family and duplex uses can be formed as continuous pad or as drive strips of the same materials listed in subsection G3 of this section and designed to accommodate the wheels of the vehicle.
a. Each drive strip should be between sixteen inches (16") and twenty four inches (24") wide.
b. The interior space between the drive strips may be filled with landscaping or gravel, but not dirt or road base.
c. Road-base, crushed concrete, gravel, or similar materials are not allowed for required parking pads, driveways or drive strips.
5. Materials used for driveway and parking areas in the Open Space Zone are limited to the following:
a. Concrete: Minimum four inch (4") depth that covers the entire area used for access, maneuvering, and parking.
b. Asphalt: Minimum two and one-half inch (21/2") depth that covers the entire area used for access, maneuvering, and parking.
c. Masonry or stone pavers rated for vehicle weight; or
d. Permeable materials such as gravel, crushed concrete, or stone; provided that compacted soil or road-base alone are not considered allowed permeable surfaces.
6. Parking spaces shall have appropriate bumper guards or curbs where necessary as determined by the site plan review, to protect adjoining property owners or persons using a sidewalk.
7. Paved areas may not drain onto adjacent properties nor is surface drainage allowable to cross the public sidewalk.
8. When parking islands or landscaped setbacks are used in low impact development, the curb shall include openings designed to allow the flow of storm water into the landscaped area.
H. Parking Stall Design And Maintenance: Parking stall design and maintenance of required off-street parking shall be subject to the following requirements:
1. Parking Space Size: Unless specifically designated for small car parking, each ninety degree (90°) space shall encompass not less than one hundred fifty three (153) square feet of net area. Each space shall be not less than 8.5 feet wide and eighteen feet (18') long. Small car ninety degree (90°) spaces shall be not less than one hundred twenty eight (128) square feet of net area. Minimum width of a designated small car space shall be not less than eight feet (8') in length and not less than sixteen feet (16') long. Parking spaces for grocery, supermarket or convenience stores shall not be less than nine feet (9') wide.
2. Small Car Parking: A maximum of thirty percent (30%) of required spaces may be compact car size in lots containing twenty (20) or more spaces, provided such spaces are clearly marked.
