A. All parking areas and access driveways, unless developed for recreational vehicle and boat storage according to section 11-3-32 of this title, must have at a minimum:
1. For all newly constructed nonresidential uses and residential uses consisting of three (3) or more units per building, paved hard surfaces must be provided. Acceptable surface treatments include, but are not necessarily limited to, concrete, asphalt, paving bricks, and paving stone. Turf block and “grass-crete” type products may be used for infrequent and/or overflow parking subject to the approval of the zoning administrator.
2. For all one- and two-family residential uses, the first eighty feet (80') of any driveway must be a paved hard surface. The required eighty feet (80') must be measured from the nearest paved surface, even if the required paving is off site. Acceptable surface treatments include, but are not necessarily limited to, concrete, asphalt, paving bricks, paving stones, and milled asphalt/aggregate mix provided that it is dust free. Any driveway length beyond the first eighty feet (80') from a paved surface must be (at a minimum) a smooth stabilized dust free surface. Surface treatment of driveway access which also serves as fire access must meet the requirements and specifications of the local fire marshal, which supersede the general requirements contained herein. Any one- or two-family residential use which is a nonconforming use under subsection 11-7-11A of this title with respect to the condition of driveway paving is required to conform to the driveway paving requirements herein only when such nonconforming use expands its floor area by fifty percent (50%) or greater.
3. Maintenance of all parking and drive areas and surfaces to the standards prescribed herein is the responsibility of the property owner. Paved hard surfaces must not be allowed to accumulate dust, dirt, mud, or other debris.
4. Adequate drainage so that injuries will not be caused to adjacent properties, nor will water drain across a public walk.
5. Appropriate bumper guards or curbs where needed to define parking spaces, limits of paved areas, or to prevent vehicles from projecting into any setback or other portion of a lot where parking may be prohibited by another section of this title.
B. Each property owner or lessee is responsible to see that their employees, visitors, guests or customers park in the designated parking areas.
C. Visitor, guest or customer drop off zones and parking must be provided near visitor or customer entrances into buildings and shall be separated from all day employee parking.
D. Required parking will not be permitted on any street nor (except for single-family and duplex units) in a required front yard.
E. Parking for boats and/or other recreational vehicles must conform to the special provisions of section 11-3-32 of this title. (Ord. A-407, 3-15-1982; amd. Ord. 96-2, 1-16-1996; Ord. 06-29, 10-16-2006; Ord. 09-05, 4-6-2009; Ord. 23-08, 6-5-2023; Ord. 23-13, 8-21-2023)
