All off-street parking areas shall be designed, constructed and maintained in accordance with the following standards and requirements.
(A) Marking and designation. Parking areas shall be so designed and marked as to provide for the orderly and safe movement and storage of vehicles.
(B) Size. All parking spaces shall be at least nine feet wide and 20 feet in length.
(C) Surface. Off-street parking shall be surfaced with asphalt, concrete, paving blocks, gravel or other stable, durable material on a properly engineered base and shall not result in storm water runoff onto adjoining properties or streets.
(D) Access. All off-street parking areas shall have vehicular access to a street or alley.
(E) Access points. Access points (driveways) located on a street, shall be as follows:
(1) Any vehicular access point shall not exceed 25 feet in width;
(2) All vehicular access points excluding single-family residential shall be located at least 150 feet or two-thirds the distance of the lot frontage, whichever is less, from the intersection of any right-of way lines of streets and at least 15 feet from all side and rear property lines;
(3) There shall be a minimum distance of 30 feet between any two access points serving the property, but no more than two access points shall be provided. The Planning Commission, after review, may permit additional access points when such access points are justified and necessary due to the length of the street frontage serving the premises and that the additional access points will substantially reduce traffic hazards or congestion on adjacent streets serving the property; and
(4) Private roads designed to provide vehicular access to non-residential buildings or uses shall not pass through a residential zoning district.
(F) Site maneuverability. Each parking space, within an off-street parking area, shall be provided with adequate access by means of maneuvering lanes. Backing directly onto a street right-of-way shall be prohibited. The width of required maneuvering lanes may vary depending upon the proposed parking pattern as follows:
(1) For right angle parking patterns 75 to 90 degrees, the maneuvering lane width shall be a minimum of 22 feet; and
(2) For parking patterns 54 to 74 degrees, the maneuvering lane width shall be a minimum of 18 feet.
(a) For parking patterns 30 to 53 degrees, the maneuvering lane width shall be a minimum of 15 feet.
(b) All maneuvering lane widths of less than 20 feet shall permit only 1-way traffic movement.
(G) Screening.
(1) All off-street parking shall have a properly maintained landscape separation strip at least five feet in width along all property lines and streets on which the off-street parking is located.
(2) Vehicular wheel stops or barriers shall be installed to prevent vehicles from driving onto the landscaped area. See § 154.142 Screening.
