(A) Parking space. A required off-street parking space shall be an area of not less than 162 square feet nor less than 8½ feet wide by 19 feet long, exclusive of access drives or aisles, ramps, columns or office and work areas, accessible from streets or from private driveways or aisles leading to streets or alleys and to be used for the storage or parking of passenger automobiles and commercial vehicles under 1½ tons capacity where permitted in these standards. Aisles between vehicular parking spaces shall not be less than 12 feet in width when serving automobiles parked at a 45° angle in 1 direction, nor less than 20 feet in width when serving automobiles parked perpendicular to the aisles and accommodating two-way traffic.
(B) Measurement of space. When determination of the number of required off-street parking spaces results in a requirement of fractional space, any fraction up to and including one-half shall be disregarded, and fractions over one-half shall be interpreted as 1 parking space.
(C) Open and enclosed spaces. Parking areas may be open or enclosed except that when parking facilities accessory to a multiple dwelling are located in a residential or business district elsewhere than on the same zoning lot with the principal use served, the parking facilities shall be open to the sky.
(D) Access. Parking facilities shall be designed with appropriate means of vehicular access to a street or alley in such a manner as will least interfere with the movement of traffic.
(E) Signs. No signs shall be displayed in any parking area within any residential district, except such as may be necessary for the orderly use of the parking facilities.
(F) Required setbacks. No parking space nor portion thereof established on the same zoning lot with a building shall be located within a required front yard. No parking spaces nor portion thereof established on a zoning lot without a building shall be located closer to any street line than the established building line on adjacent properties nor closer than the front yard setback required for the district in which the parking lot is located. Further, any wall, fence, or hedge developed around any parking area shall be subject to the front yard setback requirements established in these standards in the same manner as a building or structure.
(G) Surfacing. All open off-street parking areas shall be hard surfaced or shall be surfaced with a dustless material.
(H) Screening and landscaping. All open off- street parking areas for 6 or more cars shall be effectively screened by a wall, a solid fence or a densely planted compact hedge along any side which adjoins or is directly across a street or alley from a property in a residential district or an institutional property. The wall, fence, or hedge, shall be at least 4 feet, but not more than 7 feet, in height, and shall be maintained in good condition.
(I) Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate an off-street parking area shall be so arranged as to reflect the light away from adjoining properties.
