§ 153.115 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
(A) Required compliance.
(1) Requirement. No building, structure or use shall be erected or substantially altered unless permanently maintained off-street parking spaces and off-street loading spaces are provided in accordance with these regulations. The requirements in this section shall not apply to any existing building, structure or use except where a change or alteration is made.
(2) Minor changes. Whenever a building or structure is enlarged to the extent of less than 50% in floor area, additional parking and loading spaces shall be provided on the basis of that enlargement only.
(3) Major changes. Whenever a building or structure is enlarged to the extent of 50% or more in floor area, the entire building or structure, including the enlargement, shall comply with the full parking and loading requirements.
(B) Location of parking and loading spaces.
(1) Location. Off-street parking and loading spaces required by this section shall be provided on the same lot as the principal use the spaces are provided to serve unless a conditional use permit for off-site, or satellite parking and/or loading is approved.
(2) Required setbacks.
(a) No parking or loading spaces shall be allowed in any yard in a residential district. Parking in a commercial or industrial district shall be allowed in any paved yard but if in the front yard, the setback requirement is 20 feet. If parking or loading is situated next to a residential district, a buffer is required. Loading spaces shall be in the rear or side yards if possible.
(b) No parking or loading spaces shall be allowed in the required sight triangle set forth in § 153.015.
(c) No parking or loading spaces shall be established within five feet of any property line.
(C) Computation of required off-street parking and loading spaces.
(1) Units. When units of measurement determining the number of required parking and loading spaces result in requirement of a fractional space, any fraction up to and including 1/2 shall be disregarded and any fraction over 1/2 shall require one additional parking/loading space.
(2) Mixed occupancies and uses not specified. In the case of mixed uses, the total requirement for off-street parking/loading facilities shall be the sum of the requirements for the various uses computed separately. In the case of a use not specifically mentioned, the requirements for off-street parking/loading facilities shall apply for a use which is mentioned and to which the use is similar, subject to approval of the Zoning Administrator. However, no required loading spaces may be used to satisfy the area requirements for off-street parking, nor shall any portion of any off-street parking area be used to satisfy the area requirements for loading and unloading facilities.
(3) Joint parking. Provision of off-street parking/loading facilities to be shared by two or more buildings or uses is permitted as a conditional use.
(D) Off-street parking of inoperable and disabled vehicles.
(1) All required off-street parking/loading areas shall be solely for the parking, loading and unloading of operable vehicles and are not to be used to store inoperative vehicles or used for any vehicle repair work or service of any kind, except for emergency repairs.
(2) The parking of an inoperable or disabled vehicle for a period of more than seven days in an off-street parking/loading area shall be prohibited, unless the vehicle is stored in an enclosed garage or other accessory building.
(E) Miscellaneous requirements.
(1) Paving. All required parking/unloading areas, including stalls, aisles, and driveways, shall be graded and provided with, at a minimum, a concrete or asphalt surface, and shall be dust and nuisance free over the entire parking area. Required paved parking areas include front and side lots. Rear lots shall be excluded from this requirement. All driveways from commercial, industrial, and multi-family residential uses shall be graded and provided with, at a minimum, a concrete or asphalt surface. All driveways for single- and two-family residential uses shall be graded and provided with, at minimum, a concrete or asphalt surface. In addition to driveways, single- and two-family residential uses shall be paved (as provided above) between the property line and curb or edge of street.
(2) Driveways. There shall be adequate ingress and egress to all off-street parking spaces and loading/unloading areas. Where a lot does not have street frontage, an access drive to serve the lot may be permitted; however, the access drive shall be located in the same zoning district as the property it serves.
(3) Drainage. All required parking/loading areas shall be provided with adequate drainage facilities in order to ensure that storm water does not flow onto adjoining property or adjoining sidewalks in a way or quantity that adjoining property owners or users of the sidewalks would be unreasonably affected or inconvenienced.
(4) Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate off-street parking/loading areas shall be installed or shielded to prevent glare and illumination of adjoining property.
(5) Landscaping. All open off-street parking or loading/unloading areas that are unusable, either for parking or for traffic, shall be landscaped with plantings of grass, flowers, shrubs and/or trees, which shall be maintained in good condition by the owner.
