Buildings existing at the time of adoption of this Zoning Ordinance which do not meet the off-street parking requirements of this Chapter may be enlarged to the extent of a fifty percent addition of floor area and need provide off-street parking for the enlargement only and not for the original building. When an existing building is enlarged to an extent greater than a fifty percent addition in floor area, off-street parking spaces shall be provided for both the original building and the enlargement.
Accessory off-street parking spaces in existence at the time of adoption of this Zoning Ordinance may not be reduced in number below the number required herein for equivalent new construction, or, where below the required number, may not be further reduced below the number required for equivalent new construction.
All parking spaces required herein shall be located on the same lot or parcel with the building or use served. The Board of Appeals under Section 1105.08(d) has authority to allow location of required parking spaces on lots separated from the lot on which the use served is located.
Off-street parking spaces shall not be permitted in a required front yard or in a street side yard area of a corner lot except in a driveway or defined parking area in residentially zoned districts. The aggregate area of the driveway or defined parking area shall be as follows:
(a) Standard lots with widths forty feet (40') or less to have an aggregate driveway area no greater than 45% of the front yard;
(b) Standard lots with widths between forty-one feet to fifty feet (41' - 50') to have an aggregate driveway area no greater than 40% of front yard;
(c) Standard lots with widths greater than fifty feet (50') to have an aggregate driveway area no greater than 35% of front yard.
Lot Width | Aggregate Driveway % of Front Yard |
< or = 40' | 45% |
< 50' > 41' | 40% |
> 51' | 35% |
(Ord. 30-2017. Passed 6-19-17.)
(a) All off-street parking spaces shall be hard surfaced or surfaced with gravel, crushed stone or similar material, with adequate dust treatment.
(b) For all parking areas which have five or more parking spaces, bumper guards shall be provided where necessary around the boundary of the parking area to protect fences, screen plantings and neighboring property.
The following requirements apply to all parking areas which have five or more spaces and which are adjacent to land which is zoned residential. Included in this category are parking areas which are within residential areas themselves, such as for schools, churches and other special uses, and also parking areas within commercial and industrial districts adjacent to residential districts. (See Diagram D for illustration of these requirements.)
(a) Parking areas shall be set back seven feet or more from a side yard of a residentially zoned parcel and screened therefrom. (See Chapter 1101 for definition of "screen.")
(b) Parking areas shall be set back five feet or more from a rear yard of a residentially zoned parcel, and screened therefrom. The Board of Appeals in Section 1105.08
(f) has authority to waive the requirements for parking areas adjacent to side and rear yards, with substitution of a wall for the setback.
(c) Parking shall be prohibited in a required front yard adjacent to a residentially zoned parcel on the same side of the street for a distance of not less than fifty feet from the residentially zoned parcel.
(d) Parking shall be prohibited in a required front yard immediately across a street from a residentially zoned parcel, and screening shall be provided in front of such parking area unless such screening is expressly waived by action of the Board of Appeals.
(e) Lighting facilities where provided shall be so arranged as to reflect light away from adjacent residential districts.
