There shall be adequate vehicular access from a dedicated and improved street, service road or alley. The design, number and location of such access route(s) shall be approved by the city engineer. Access to parking lots and parking spaces shall comply with the following standards:
A. No parking space shall be so located as to require the moving of any vehicle on the premises in order to enter or leave any other parking stall, unless an attendant is present at all times during the use of the parking facility.
B. In all commercial and industrial districts, including commercial uses with the CR district, all access to individual parking spaces shall be from the property itself and shall not be directly from a public street or alley.
C. Automobile parking shall be so arranged as to prevent vehicles from backing into major, secondary modified highways or local collector streets. This standard may be waived by the city engineer when both of the following conditions exist: 1) the property has no access to a public alley, and 2) the width of the lot and location of existing structures make is possible for vehicles to feasibly turn around on site so as to enter the street moving forward.
D. Parking stalls which are parallel to any major or secondary highway shall not be located less than twenty feet from the property line along such major or secondary highway.
E. Parking shall be provided as follows:
1. On the same lot or parcel as the building(s) or use(s) being served;
2. By participation in an assessment district, established for the purpose of providing an off-street parking facility for multiple uses within the vicinity.
F. Parking parallel to any alley shall be permitted in any district so long as no portion of the parking stall projects into the public right-of-way. The size of such a parking stall shall not be less than ten feet by twenty-two feet.
