(A)
Vehicle accommodation areas shall generally be designed with maximum 60-foot-wide bays, 90-degree parking stalls and two-way traffic aisles unless such a design standard cannot be practicably accommodated on the site.
(B) Vehicle accommodation areas shall be designed so that, without resorting to extraordinary movements, vehicles may exit such areas without backing onto a public street. This requirement does not apply to parking areas consisting of driveways that serve one or two dwelling units.
(C) Every vehicle accommodation area shall be designed so that vehicles cannot extend beyond the perimeter of such area onto adjacent properties or public rights-of-way. Such areas shall also be designed so that a minimum two and one-half inch separation is maintained between the vehicle accommodation area and any sidewalk or pedestrian access that is provided on site. (Note: This separation may be achieved by providing a planting strip between the curb line and the sidewalk or by extending the width of the sidewalk.) Sidewalks in non-residential developments shall have a minimum width of four feet which shall remain clear and unobstructed for the purposes of pedestrian access and safety. Adequate clearance shall also be provided so as to prevent vehicles from bumping against or damaging any wall, vegetation or other obstruction.
(D) Vehicle accommodation areas shall not exceed 360 square feet of paving for each parking space.
(E) Circulation areas shall be designed so that vehicles can proceed safely without posing a danger to pedestrians or other vehicles and without interfering with parking areas.
(F) In vehicle accommodation areas where curbing is located at the perimeter of a parking area, wheel stops shall not be provided in addition to the curbing on said perimeter. In said areas, the curb shall function as the wheel stop.
(G) Vehicle accommodation areas in multi-family developments shall be located a minimum of 15 feet from residential buildings within the development.
