(A) In all districts building plans shall provide for entrance/exit drive(s) appropriately designed and located to minimize traffic congestion or conflict within the site and with adjoining public streets as approved by the city engineer or designated representative.
1. Where projected volumes of traffic entering or leaving the developments are likely to interfere with the projected peak traffic flow volumes on adjoining streets, additional right of way and paving in the form of a deceleration lane or turn lane may be required to be furnished by the landowner in order to reduce such interference. Projections of traffic shall be based on analysis performed by the city engineer or designated official.
2. Additional right of way or paving requirements may be reviewed and determined during the platting and/or development process.
(B) Backing a vehicle from an off street parking space directly into a public trafficway creates a traffic hazard. Parking layouts requiring this maneuver shall not be approved by the city engineer except for residential uses exiting onto a local trafficway of low traffic volume.
(C) Whenever off street parking is required by this code a parking layout drawing shall be submitted to and approved by the city engineer. The layout shall show a sketch of all parking spaces, access aisles, entrances to the site and exits from the site drawn to scale and the dimensions of each item shown and shall indicate all information necessary to determine the employee and customer parking requirements. The entrances to and/or exits from the parking site shall conform to the requirements of this code for driveway approaches. Parking spaces shall have a minimum size of nine feet by twenty feet (9' x 20'), or if parallel to the access aisle, nine feet by twenty three feet (9' x 23'). (Ord. 3076, 8-11-2014)
