Such parking lots shall be contiguous to an RM or nonresidential district. Parking areas may be approved when adjacent to said districts, or on the end of a block where such areas front on a street which is perpendicular to that street servicing the district. There may be a private driveway or public street or public alley between such P-1 District and above listed districts.

3.

Parking area shall be used solely for parking of private passenger vehicles, for periods of less than one day and shall not be used as an off-street loading area.

4.

No commercial repair work or service of any kind, or sale or display thereof, shall be conducted in such parking area.

Applications for P-1 District rezoning shall be made by submitting a dimensional layout of the area requested showing the intended parking plans in accordance with Sections 1905 [Section 400.1905] and 1913 [Section 400.1913].

Sec. 1703.

1.

Side and rear yards. Where the P-1 District is contiguous to the side or rear lot lines of premises within a residentially zoned district, the required wall shall be located along said lot line.

2.

Front yards. Where the P-1 District is contiguous to a residentially zoned district which has a common frontage in the same block with residential structures, or wherein no residential structures have been yet erected, there shall be a setback equal to the required residential setback for said residential district, or a minimum of 25 feet, or whichever is the greater. The required wall shall be located on this minimum setback line unless, under unusual circumstances, the Planning Commission finds that no good purpose would be served. The land between said setback and street right-of-way line shall be kept free from refuse and debris and shall be planted with shrubs, trees or lawn and shall be maintained in a healthy, growing condition, neat and orderly in appearance.

Sec. 1704. P-1 Vehicular Parking Districts shall be developed and maintained in accordance with the requirements of Article XVIII, General Provisions.
