Every lot hereinafter used as a public or private parking area including a public parking lot as well as motor vehicle and trailer sales lots shall be developed and maintained in accordance with the following requirements:
(a) Screening and Landscaping. Off-street parking areas for more than five vehicles shall be effectively screened on each side which adjoins or faces institutional premises or premises situated in any R-District by a masonry wall or solid fence. Such wall or fence shall not be less than four feet in height and shall be maintained in good condition. Where the capacity of the parking area exceeds thirty vehicles, it shall be screened by a masonry wall of at least the height hereinabove prescribed.
(b) Minimum Distances and Setbacks. No part of any parking area for more than five vehicles shall be closer than ten feet to any dwelling, school, hospital, or other institution for human care located on an adjoining lot unless screened by an unpierced masonry wall; provided, however, that parking areas for twenty-five or more automobiles or for trucks and buses shall not have an entrance or exit for vehicles within 200 feet along the same side of the street of any school, public playground, church, hospital, public library or institution for dependents or for children, except where such property is in another block or on another street which the lot in question does not abut.
(c) Surfacing. Any off-street parking area must be paved with either blacktop or concrete so as to provide a durable and dustless surface. The area must be graded and drained in order to dispose of all surface water away from adjacent properties, and must be arranged and marked as to provide for orderly and safe loading and unloading and parking and storage of all vehicles.
(d) Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate any off-street parking area shall be so arranged as to reflect the light away from adjoining premises.
