Location of Off-Street Parking. Parking areas, as required by this Chapter, shall be hard surfaces located on the same lot as the main building or structure. The following exceptions apply to buildings other than dwellings:

1.

In cases where size or locations prohibit the landowner from providing the required parking on-site, they may provide parking on other property not more than three hundred feet (300') from the nearest point of the main parcel, provided the off-site location would not require persons to cross a public street.

C.

Prohibited Locations. It shall be unlawful to park a motor vehicle, trailer, or boat in a frontage area as defined in Section 02-103, on any residential property, or other areas not approved for parking.

No one shall pave or improve any portion of a required front yard, other than driveways leading to a garage or properly located parking area, so as to encourage or make possible the parking of vehicles therein.

Residents may use paved driveways leading to a garage or properly located parking area as an approved parking area for additional vehicles to meet the requirements of this Chapter.

All vehicles on the property shall be licensed and operable. The owner of any vehicle that has been inoperable or unlicensed for longer than four (4) months shall remove said vehicle from the property or store it in a completely enclosed structure, including any and all vehicle parts.

Enlargements, Change of Use, Etc. No one shall enlarge, alter, convert, or change the use of a building or structure unless they provide, and thereafter maintain for such building and its use, a minimum number of parking spaces as hereinafter required.

However, if such alteration, enlargement, conversion, or change does not increase the number of required parking spaces by more than fifteen percent (15%), then no additional parking spaces need be provided.

G.

Uses Not Mentioned. In the case of a use not specifically mentioned herein, the requirements for the most similar use so mentioned, as decided by the Land Use Authority, shall apply.

Each land use as listed below shall provide the required off-street parking. For any use not listed, the requirements for the most similar use listed shall apply. The Land Use Authority shall determine which listed use is most similar.

In special cases where there is not a similar use, the Land Use Authority, in consultation with the developer, shall establish the minimum and maximum parking space requirement.

Any entity that conducts a business in or from a residence, or to which employees come to a residence for work, shall obtain site plan approval subject to the following condition: the site provides two (2) off-street parking spaces per single-family residence plus an additional half (.5) off-street parking space for every full-time, part-time, or contract employee or worker who visits the residence or provides services at the residence during an average week.
