Each parking space and loading space for uses other than detached single-family dwellings shall be provided access in accordance with the following:
(a) Number of Drives. Each lot shall be required to have at least one two-way access drive or a pair of one-way drives. Access drives shall be designed so that no vehicle shall be permitted to back from a garage, other building, or parking space directly onto a public street, but must enter or exit a parking area by means of a driveway.
(b) Width. Access drives shall be at least ten feet in width for a dwelling. Access drives for multi-family and non-residential uses shall be a minimum of twenty feet, except that one-way drives may be reduced to twelve feet in width. The apron of the driveway shall not exceed the width of the driveway, except for the outward flair at the curb to accommodate reasonable turning movement. The balance of the tree lawn shall be graded and seeded.
(c) Location. No access drive shall be located closer than twenty-five feet from the intersection of the right-of-way lines of two public streets. Access drives for commercial or industrial uses shall not be located in any residential district.
(Ord. 24-97. Passed 10-14-97.)
(d) Paving. All parking spaces and driveways shall be improved with concrete, asphalt, or other material approved by the Planning Commission. Existing unpaved driveways and parking areas shall be clearly defined by permanent edging such as curbs or embedded rot-resistant timbers.
