(A) Use of parking facilities. Off-street parking facilities accessory to residential use and developed in any residential district in accordance with the requirements of this section shall be used for the parking of passenger automobiles owned by occupants of the dwelling structures to which such facilities are accessory or by guests of said occupants. Under no circumstances shall required parking facilities accessory to residential structures be used for the parking of automobiles belonging to the employees, owners, tenants, visitors or customers or business or manufacturing establishments.
(B) Joint parking facilities. Off-street parking facilities for different buildings, structures or uses, or for mixed uses, may be provided collectively in any zoning district in which separate parking facilities for each constituent use would be permitted, provided that the total number of spaces so located together shall not be less than the sum of the separate requirements for each use.
(C) Computation. When determination of the number of off-street parking spaces required by this chapter results in a requirement of a fractional space, any fraction of one-half or less may be disregarded while a fraction in excess of one-half shall be counted as one parking space.
(D) Size. A required off-street parking space shall be at least nine feet in width and at least 19 feet in length, exclusive of access drives or aisles, ramps, columns or office or work areas. Such space shall have a vertical clearance of at least seven feet.
(E) Access. Each required off-street parking space shall open directly upon an aisle or driveway of such width and design as to provide safe and efficient means of vehicular access to such parking space. All off-street parking facilities shall be designed with appropriate means of vehicular access to a street or alley in a manner which will least interfere with traffic movements. No driveway across public property nor curb cut shall exceed a width of 30 feet.
(F) In yards. Off-street parking spaces may be located in any yard except required front yards, but shall not be closer than five feet to the lot line.

(H) Design and maintenance.
(1) Open and enclosed parking spaces. Accessory parking spaces located on the same lot as occupied by the use served may be open to the sky or enclosed in a building. Accessory parking spaces located in a residence district elsewhere than on the same lot occupied by the use served shall be open to the sky except when otherwise allowed as a special use.
(2) Surfacing. All open off-street parking areas and driveways shall be improved with a compacted macadam base, not less than four inches thick, surfaced with asphaltic concrete or some comparable all weather dustless material.
(3) Screening and landscaping. All open automobile parking areas containing more than five parking spaces shall be effectively screened on each side adjoining or fronting on any property situated in a residence district or any institutional premises by a wall, fence or densely planted compact hedge. Such required screening shall conform with the front and side yard setback requirements of the district in which the parking is located.
(4) Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate off-street parking areas shall be directed away from residential properties in such a way as not to create a nuisance.
