(a) A retaining wall or barrier of a minimum of twenty-six inches in height, of a design approved by the Director of Inspections and subject to all requirements of the Building and Housing Code shall be erected around the periphery of the area utilized for parking or dispensing and at such other places as are necessary for the purpose of containing debris and refuse. However, such wall or barrier, when erected on a side of the premises adjacent to residential property, shall be of solid construction and a minimum of forty-eight inches in height, so as to prevent spillage of light from headlamps of vehicles utilizing the premises onto such adjacent residential property. Such wall or barrier is not required on the side or sides adjacent to any street or roadway serving the premises for ingress and egress. Such wall or barrier shall be of such a type as to maintain harmony, insofar as is practical, with the character of the surrounding properties, shall not be allowed to fall into disrepair and shall be maintained and/or painted so as not to become an eyesore.
(b) There shall be one ingress and one egress (minimum fifteen feet; maximum thirty feet), unless the physical conditions will permit more or less, at the discretion of the Police Department. The ingress and egress shall not be on residential streets. There shall be a proper sign denoting each entrance and exit.
(c) Each establishment shall be provided with an incinerator on the premises that is capable of disposing of all rubbish, trash and debris resulting from the use of the premises. Such incinerator shall be located and operated so as not to cause a nuisance to other people in the vicinity. Incinerators shall be constructed in accordance with the Building and Housing Code and a permit for the same shall be obtained from the Building Department. Every drive-in restaurant licensee shall provide proper facilities, either by mechanical disposal units installed on the premises or by garbage collection, so that garbage will not be allowed to accumulate on the premises. Garbage, rubbish, trash and debris shall be disposed of at least once every twenty-four hours.
(d) Containers shall be available and shall be spaced in such a fashion that one covered container will service four vehicles. The minimum capacity per container shall be thirty gallons bulk material. All containers shall be painted and properly identified and be of the self-closing type.
(e) No drive-in restaurant licensee shall permit the sounding of horns or other devices that produce loud and harsh noises on the premises, and to this end, he or she shall post one or more plainly legible signs notifying all patrons that hornblowing or sounding of other devices is not permitted on the premises to attract attention in order to obtain service.
(f) No person on the premises of a drive-in restaurant shall race the motor of any motor vehicle, blow his or her horn, needlessly bring a motor vehicle to a sudden stop or start, block any traffic aisle, remain on the premises for purposes other than the purchasing and/or consuming of food products or beverages sold by such restaurant, or make or cause to be made any other loud or unseemly noise, nuisance or disturbance whereby the quiet and good order of the premises or the neighborhood is disturbed. No person shall enter upon, drive through, traverse, circle, loop or otherwise use the premises of a drive-in restaurant for purposes other than purchasing and/or consuming food products or beverages sold by such restaurant. The Police Department is hereby authorized to enforce this subsection.
