All off-street parking facilities including entrances, exits, circulation areas and parking spaces shall be in accordance with the following specifications:
(a) Parking Space Dimensions. A parking space shall have a minimum rectangular dimension of not less than nine feet in width and nineteen feet in length for any ninety degree parking, nine feet in width and twenty-three feet in length for parallel parking, ten feet in width and nineteen feet in length for sixty degree parking, and twelve feet in width and nineteen feet in length for forty-five degree parking. All dimensions shall be exclusive of driveways, aisles and other circulation areas.
(b) Access. There shall be adequate provisions for ingress and egress to all parking spaces. Where the lot or parking spaces do not provide direct access to a public street or alley, an access drive shall be provided, with a dedicated easement of access as follows:
(1) For single family detached dwellings or two family dwellings, the access drive shall be a minimum of eight (8) feet in width.
(2) Driveways serving individual parking spaces shall not be less than twenty- five feet for ninety degree parking, twelve feet wide for parallel parking, seventeen and one-half feet wide for sixty degree parking and thirteen feet wide for forty-five degree parking.
(3) All parking spaces, except those required for single family detached dwellings and two family dwellings, shall have access to a public street or alley in such a manner that any vehicle leaving or entering the parking area from or into a public street or alley shall be travelling in a forward motion.
(4) Parking for uses not permitted in a residential zone shall not be permitted in a residential zone, nor shall any residential district property be utilized as access for uses not permitted in that residential district.
(c) Minimum Distance and Setbacks. No part of any parking area for more than ten vehicles shall be closer than twenty feet to any dwelling unit, school, hospital or other institution for human care located on an adjoining lot, unless separated by an acceptably designed screen. If on the same lot with a one-family residence, the parking area shall not be located within the front yard required for such building. In no case shall any part of a parking area be closer than four feet to any established street or alley right-of-way.
(d) Screening and/or Landscaping. Whenever a parking area is located in or adjacent to a residential district, it shall be effectively screened on all sides which adjoin or face any property used for residential purposes, by an acceptably designed fence or planting screen. Such fence or planting screen shall be not less than four feet nor more than six feet in height and shall be maintained in good condition. In the event that terrain or other natural features are such that the erection of such fence or planting screen will not serve the intended purpose, then no such fence or planting screen and landscaping shall be required.
(e) Paving. Any required off-street parking area and its driveway shall be surfaced with a pavement having an asphalt or concrete binder of sufficient strength to support vehicular loads imposed on it while providing a durable, dustless surface.
(f) Drainage. All parking spaces, together with driveways, aisles and other circulation areas shall be graded and drained so as to dispose of surface water which might accumulate within or upon such area, and shall be designed to prevent the excess drainage of surface water onto adjacent properties, walkways or onto public streets. Adequate arrangements shall be made to insure acceptable diversion to an adequate storm water drainage system.
(g) Barriers. Wherever a parking lot extends to a property line, fencing, wheelstops, curbs or other suitable barriers shall be provided in order to prevent any part of a parked vehicle from extending beyond the property line and from destroying the screening materials.
(h) Visibility. Access of driveways for parking areas shall be located in such a way that any vehicle entering or leaving such parking area shall be clearly visible by any pedestrian or motorist approaching the access or driveway from a public street, private street or alley.
(i) Striping. All parking areas with a capacity over twelve vehicles shall be striped with painted lines five inches wide between stalls to facilitate the movement into and out of the parking stalls. Lines shall be maintained in a good, visible condition.
(j) Maintenance. Any owner of property used for parking areas shall maintain such areas in good condition without holes and free from all dust, trash, weeds and other debris.
(k) Lighting. Any lights used to illuminate a parking lot shall be so arranged as to reflect the light away from the adjoining property and right-of-way.
