All parking areas and loading areas and access driveways except for one and two-family dwellings shall have an asphalt, concrete or other similar hard surface approved by the City Engineer. Parking areas shall be graded to provide for positive drainage so that injury will not be caused to adjacent properties nor will water drain across a public sidewalk. New parking areas shall be so designed as to limit the volume of storm water runoff to no more than that occurring prior to installation of such areas. Appropriate curbs shall be provided in order to define limits of paved areas and to prevent vehicles from projecting into required yards. In addition, wheel bumper guards may be used to define parking spaces. Parking areas shall be landscaped in compliance with the provisions of Section 1321.42. The maximum grade of the parking area shall not exceed four percent.
