The vehicular parking districts are designed to accommodate the off-street parking needs of those nonresidential uses which are not able to provide adequate space within their own district boundaries. As such, the district may serve as a transitional use between single-family dwellings and uses of a higher intensity.

(Code 2002, § 220-42)

Premises in P Parking Districts shall be used only for an off-street vehicular parking area and accessory uses. Such accessory uses include only a shelter for parking lot attendants which shall not exceed 14 feet in height.

(1)

No signs of any kind, other than signs designating entrances, exits, and conditions of use, shall be maintained on such parking area.

(2)

No building, other than those for parking lot attendants, as noted above, shall be erected upon the premises.

(3)

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

(Code 2002, § 220-43)

(c)

Such parking lots shall be situated on premises which have an area of not less than 5,000 square feet.

Where the P Parking District is contiguous to the side or rear lot lines of premises within a residentially-zoned district, a wall, 4½ feet in height, shall be located along such lot line.

(5)

Upon review of the site plan, the planning commission may approve an alternate location for the wall or may waive the wall requirement if in specific cases it would not serve the purposes of screening the area effectively or where it is determined that the adjoining property is indicated on the future land use plan as a nonresidential area.

(f)

Parking lots in P Parking Districts shall be developed and maintained in accordance with the requirements of article XVII of this chapter.

(g)

A site plan and landscape plan shall be submitted to the planning commission for its review and approval prior to the issuance of any building permit.
