(a) The location, width and number of entrance and exit driveways to accessory parking facilities, except for one-family and two-family dwellings, shall be located in such a manner as to interfere as little as possible with the use of adjacent residential property and the flow of traffic on adjacent streets. For parking areas having a capacity of ten or more vehicles, the centerline of the driveway apron shall be located not less than seventy-five feet from the nearest street intersection right-of-way line. Each driveway apron location shall be approved by the Planning Commission after consideration of each of the above factors.

Those having a capacity of more than twenty vehicles shall have two one-lane driveways if possible, or at least one two-lane driveway. Any entrance or exit driveway shall not exceed three lanes in width.
(c) The width of driveways shall conform with the following schedule:
Lanes | Driveway Width | |
Minimum (ft.) | Maximum (ft.) | |
One | 10 | 12 |
Two | 18 | 24 |
Three | 27 | 34 |
(d) The radius of the edge of the driveway apron shall be at least thirty feet so that a vehicle may enter from or exit onto the curb lane without obstructing vehicles in other traffic lanes.
(e) The aforesaid location and width of access driveway regulations shall also apply to driveways for "drive-in" roadside businesses, fee parking lots and public parking lots.
