It is the purpose of this Article to improve and maintain the safety of the roads and highways in the Township by requiring off-street parking, loading and unloading spaces for all uses permitted by this Ordinance in order to provide for the proper function and safety in the use of roads and highways as trafficways which are intended to be limited to moving automotive vehicles.

(Ord. of 11-12-1987, § 18.01)

Sec. 18.02. - Off-street parking requirements.

In all districts there shall be provided at the time any building or structure is erected, or uses established, enlarged or increased in capacity, off-street parking spaces for automotive and motorized vehicles with the requirements specified as follows:

Plans and specifications showing required off-street parking spaces shall be submitted to the Zoning Administrator for review at the time of application for a zoning permit. Required off-street parking facilities shall be located on the same lot as the principal building or on a lot within 300 feet thereof, except that this distance shall not exceed 150 feet for single-family and two-family dwellings.

Outdoor parking of motor vehicles, in all residential districts, except in the AR, WRD, and RD Districts, unless the parcel is more than five acres in area, shall be limited to passenger vehicles, one nonresidential type recreational vehicle per dwelling unit, and not more than one commercial vehicle of the light delivery type, not to exceed one ton single front and single rear axle, per dwelling unit. The outdoor parking of any other type of commercial vehicle, or bus, except for those parked on school or church property, is prohibited in all residential districts, except as the RD, WRD and AR District parking space requirements for all types of vehicles may be provided either in garages or covered or outdoor parking areas conforming with the provisions of this Ordinance.

Each off-street parking space for automobiles shall not be less than 200 square feet in area, exclusive of access drives or parking space access aisle, and shall be of usable shape and condition. There shall be provided a minimum access drive of ten feet in width, and where a turning radius is necessary it will be of such an arc as to reasonably allow an unobstructed flow of vehicles. Parking space access aisles for automobiles shall be of sufficient width to allow a minimum turning movement in and out of a parking space. The minimum width of such aisles shall be as follows:

For 90 degree or perpendicular parking the aisle shall not be less than 20 feet in width.

For 60 degree parking the aisle shall not be less than 18 feet in width.

For 45 degree parking the aisle shall not be less than 13 feet in width.

Required off-street parking facilities for churches located in nonresidential districts may be reduced by an equivalent number of off-street parking spaces located within 300 feet, if they are directly accessible and usable, as off-street parking spaces. Off-street parking facilities for trucks at restaurants, service stations and other similar and related uses shall be of sufficient size to adequately serve trucks and not interfere with other vehicles that use the same facilities. Such truck spaces shall not be less than ten feet in width and 80 feet in length.

Every parcel of land hereafter used as a public or private off-street parking area shall be developed and maintained in accordance with the following requirements:

All off-street parking may be located in any yard but shall not be closer than ten feet to any property line or any road right-of-way, whichever is greater, except as otherwise required in this Ordinance. No off-street parking shall be permitted in any required front yard in a residential zoning district.

All off-street parking areas shall be drained so as to prevent any increase on drainage to abutting properties and shall be constructed of graded aggregate materials which will have a dust-free surface resistant to erosion by wind and water.

Any lighting fixtures used to illuminate any off-street parking area shall be so installed as to divert the light away from any adjoining premises and public roads, and no source of light shall be observable beyond the lot lines of the property upon which it is located.

Any off-street parking area providing space for five or more vehicles shall be located at least 20 feet from and be effectively screened on any side that adjoins or faces property adjoining a residential lot or institution by a wall, berm, fence, or compact evergreen planting not less than four feet in height. Plantings shall be maintained in good condition and not encroach on adjoining property.

All off-street parking areas that make it necessary for vehicles to back out directly onto a public road are prohibited, except for single-family and duplex residential driveways.

Combined parking facilities are allowed when two or more uses occur on one property or when a building on one property contains two or more uses, provided that the permanent allocation of the required number of parking spaces shall be the sum of the requirements for all the uses computed in accordance with this Ordinance. Parking facilities for one use shall not be considered as providing the required parking facilities for any other use, except churches.

For the purpose of determining off-street parking requirements, the following units of measurement shall apply:

Floor Area. In the case of uses where floor area is the unit for determining the required number of off-street parking spaces, said unit shall mean the total floor area, except that such floor area need not include any area used for incidental service storage, installations of mechanical equipment, penthouses housing ventilators and heating systems, and similar uses.

Places of Assembly. In stadiums, sport arenas, churches and other places of assembly in which those in attendance occupy benches, pews, or other similar seating facilities, each 18 inches of such seating facilities shall be counted as one seat. In cases where a place of assembly has open assembly area, requirements shall be on the basis of one seat being equal to three square feet for standing and seven square feet for sitting.

(Ord. of 11-12-1987, § 18.02)

Sec. 18.03. - Use of parking areas.

No commercial repair work, servicing or selling of any kind shall be conducted in any parking area except that which is specifically permitted by this Ordinance. No items such as plastic animals, streamers, cloth signs, children's play areas, mechanical entertainment devices, or any other similar device shall be permitted in the parking area or outside a building.
