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.
