The P-1 Vehicular Parking District is intended to permit the establishment of areas to be used for off-street vehicular parking of private passenger cars, so as to benefit and service nonresidential uses. This District is also designed to afford maximum protection to adjacent residential areas by providing landscaped setbacks, fences and well-designed parking lot facilities. It is also intended that this District act as a transitional area between commercial areas and residential areas, thereby permitting private property owners as well as public agencies to provide needed off-street parking.
