In order to meet requirements for vehicle parking space, where such space is not available on the lot occupied by a building, as specified in districts B1, B2, M1, and M2, inclusive, the board of zoning appeals may, after receipt of a favorable report from the city plan commission on the proposal, and after public notice and hearing, grant a permit for the establishment of a parking lot in an S, R1, or R3 district; provided, that the entire area of the parking lot is within 300 feet of a B1, B2, M1 or M2 district or in the case of church or other place of congregation in an S, R1, R2, or R3 district immediately adjacent to such church or other place of congregation; and provided further, that:

A. There shall be no sales, dead storage, repair work, dismantling or servicing of any kind on side parking lot.

B. Entrances and exits shall be approved as to location by the city plan commission.

C. No parking shall be permitted nearer than two feet from the front or side lot line.

D. Except for otherwise approved entrances and exits, a curb or rail not more than two feet in height and not less than eight inches in height shall be erected so as to conform with the required front lot line, and may be required along boundaries of the parking lot as determined by the city plan commission for the protection of adjoining residentially zoned or use property.

E. The lot shall be surfaced with a dust-proof or hard surface meeting the standards and specifications of the city.
