D. Parking Area Design Standards:
1. Basic: The basic parking stall shall be nine feet (9') in width and eighteen feet (18') in length. Tables V and VI of this section and accompanying diagrams establish minimum design standards for parking areas utilizing this minimum requirement and dimensions to be followed. Nothing in these standards shall prohibit an owner/applicant from providing larger aisle widths or stall dimensions in order to better suit his development requirements.
2. Alternate: While tables V and VI of this section provide design standards for angles of zero degrees (0°), forty five degrees (45°), sixty degrees (60°), seventy five degrees (75°) and ninety degrees (90°), the city shall be permitted to approve an alternate design using different angles, provided the property owner submits such a design with calculations for stalls and aisles based upon the standards contained herein.
3. Small Car: Where a parking lot is required to contain twenty (20) or more spaces, the city shall be permitted to approve an alternate design for spaces to specifically accommodate compact automobiles. The design shall conform to the following minimum basic standards:
a. Up to fifteen percent (15%) of the required spaces may be allocated for compact cars;
b. Dimensions for a compact car space shall be nine feet (9') in width and fifteen feet (15') in length;
c. Compact car spaces should be designed and striped at ninety degree (90°) angles or an equivalent which will eliminate access and use by large cars.
E. Loading/Unloading (Queuing) Spaces: Loading/unloading (queuing) spaces as required for certain uses in this chapter shall conform to the following standards:
1. No queuing space may occupy any portion of a public right of way.
2. Queuing spaces shall be a minimum of nine feet (9') in width and eighteen feet (18') in length.
3. Queuing spaces may not be used to satisfy the off street parking or loading requirements of this section.
4. Queuing spaces may be provided in the primary access aisle leading to a drive-in or drive-through facility.
F. Aisle Requirements:
1. Aisles providing access to off street parking areas, but not immediately adjacent to or providing direct access to an off street parking space, shall be at least twenty two feet (22') in width if designed for two-way traffic, and at least twelve feet (12') in width if designed for one-way traffic.
2. Aisles located immediately adjacent to buildings or structures shall be separated by a planted or landscaped strip or by a sidewalk of not less than three feet (3') in width protected by a six inch (6") concrete curb or, in lieu thereof, a bumper guard of a height not less than two feet (2') above the finished grade.
3. Parking may be located immediately adjacent to buildings or structures without a planted or landscaped strip or a sidewalk or without a bumper guard.
4. A drive-in window shall not project more than one foot (1') into an aisle.

H. Notes:
1. For mixed uses containing any combination of retail, institutional, office, manufacturing and industrial, or warehousing activity, parking requirements shall be tabulated separately for each use within the development using the list of specific standards or the tables above. Mixed uses regulated under separate parking requirements shall not be combined to achieve a larger square footage total that would result in a reduced parking requirement. Where any part of a mixed use is converted to another use category, then the parking requirements shall be recalculated based on the new square footage figure.
2. Where a manufacturing and industrial use has more than one working shift of employees, parking facilities shall be adequate to accommodate overlap requirements during transition periods.
3. Where a multiple purpose retail, institutional, or industrial building is proposed to be occupied by a use which can be demonstrated by the occupant to require less parking than the standards contained herein, the city may permit, subject to city council approval, paving of a smaller parking area to meet the estimated need; provided, however, that the balance of the land required by these requirements shall be held in reserve as an unpaved area to meet future needs generated by an expansion of the business or a change in land use.
