(A) After the following design standards have been met and approved by the Zoning Commission, the Zoning Authority shall hold a public hearing before making a final decision in relation to the issuance of the special use permit for non-residential off-street parking in residential areas:
(1) All off-street parking facilities shall be designed with appropriate means of access to a street or alley, as well as maneuvering areas.
(2) A parking space shall be determined as the space required to park 1 car and shall be not less than 200 square feet.
(3) Parking areas shall be used for parking of automobiles only, with no sales, storage, repair work, dismantling, or service of any kind permitted.
(4) Parking areas shall have adequate drainage, and shall be provided with bumper guards.
(5) Where setback lines are required from the street, the setback area shall not be considered as part of the parking lots, but shall be properly seeded and landscaped.
(6) All required parking shall be of such design and located so as to be convenient and readily usable by the patrons.
(7) Sufficient area shall be provided within the property lines so that all vehicles may enter and leave in a forward motion.
(8) A screen shall be required whenever a parking lot abuts or is opposite a residential zone. The design and material of a fence or screen not less than 3 feet nor more than 6 feet in height shall be approved by the Zoning Commission for the purpose of giving sufficient protection to the residential property owners from physical hazards and unsightliness.
(9) All parking lots shall be constructed in such a manner that contamination by dust will not exist.
(10) If nighttime parking is to be permitted, it shall be lighted, with the provision that the lights shall be shielded so as to prevent direct glare into adjacent residential property.
(B) The duration of a special use permit issued under this section shall be from 1 to 5 years. Actual time limit is to be determined by the Zoning Authority after review of the applicant’s plans for improvement. This permit may be revoked by the Zoning Authority after just cause is presented to the special use permit holders.
