(A) Access. Access and parking areas shall be designed so as to provide an adequate means of access to a public alley or street. The driveway shall be limited so as to cause the least interference with traffic movement. All public parking areas shall have access off driveways and not directly off a public street. All outside parking spaces shall be clearly marked.
(B) Calculating space. When the determining of the number of required off-street parking spaces results in a fraction, each fraction of one-half or more shall constitute another space.
(C) Signs. Signs located in any parking area necessary for orderly operation of traffic movement shall be in addition to accessory signs permitted in other sections of this chapter.
(D) Surfacing. All of the area intended to be utilized for parking space and driveways shall be surfaced with an impervious material to control dust and drainage and subject to the approval of the Council except parking areas for less than three vehicles. This requirement also applies to open sales lots.
(E) Lighting. Exterior lighting shall not be directed upon adjacent land or the public right-of-way.
(F) Curbing and landscaping. All open off-street parking areas designed to have head-in parking, or any other off-street parking area configuration, along the interior property line, shall provide a concrete bumper curb not less than five feet from that property line or a guard of normal bumper height not less than five feet from that property line. When the area is for six spaces or more and not located to the rear of the building, a fence or hedge not over three feet in height shall be erected or planted along the front yard setback line, and grass or hedge shall occupy the space between the sidewalk and fence.
(G) Curb and gutter. Off-street parking facilities are required to have concrete curbing and guttering. Existing off-street parking facilities are required to meet this requirement when modifying or expanding the facility.
