(a) In a Single Family District, no dwelling or premises shall be erected or altered to accommodate or make provision for more than one family for each 7,500 square feet of the area of the lot if any interior lot or for each 6,000 square feet if a corner lot.
(b) No permit shall be issued for the erection or alteration of a building in a district permitting non-residential use unless there shall be first filed with the application for such permit, plans to the extent necessary and other data clearly showing that there is or will be provided space sufficient in extent for off-street parking of motor vehicles of the employees, patrons, licensees, clients, guests, tenants or other occupants or users thereof, and for off-street loading and unloading. For the purposes of this section, off-street parking space and loading and unloading space shall be such space as is entirely off the right-of- way of any public street:
Each such building shall have off-street parking space and loading and unloading space on or adjoining its premises within such district sufficient in capacity to provide three and one-half square feet of parking space and loading and unloading space for each one square foot of floor space on the ground floor of such building or any floor above the ground floor, unless the Board of Zoning Appeals, upon which power and jurisdiction for such purpose is hereby conferred, shall, upon application made to it by the person applying for such permit, find and determine that a lesser area will be sufficient to provide parking, loading and unloading space adequate for the public health and safety, having regard to the use made of the premises and the availability of other areas for parking, loading and unloading.
Adequate access driveways to parking spaces and loading and unloading spaces shall be provided and kept open and unobstructed. All parking spaces, loading and unloading spaces and the driveways leading thereto shall be smoothly graded, hard surfaced and adequately drained; shall be constructed in such a manner so that the surface water shall not discharge over or onto public sidewalks or streets or onto other premises; and the lighting therefor shall be reflected away from adjacent residence areas.
(c) In any district permitting nonresidential use, no single building may be erected having a floor area less than 1,500 square feet per floor or story, except as otherwise specifically permitted by the provisions of this Zoning Code.
