(a)

Each application for a building permit or certificate of occupancy shall include information as to the location and dimensions of off-street parking space or loading space, if required, and the means of ingress and egress between such space and a street or alley. This information shall be in sufficient detail to enable the zoning compliance officer to determine whether or not the requirements of this article are met.

(b)

The certificate of occupancy for the use of any building, structure or land where off-street parking space is required shall be withheld by the building inspector until the provisions of this article are fully met. If at any time such compliance ceases, any certificate of occupancy which shall have been issued for the use of the property shall immediately become void and of no effect.

(Ord. No. 2010-4, § 80.3, 2-16-2010; Ord. No. 2013-12, § 80.3, 12-2-2013)

(a)

Access and egress for parking facilities shall be so arranged for the free flow of vehicles at all times and to prevent the blocking or endangering of vehicular or pedestrian traffic through the stopping or standing of vehicles on sidewalks or streets. If a reservoir of vehicle standing area on the property is necessary to prevent such blocking of traffic, an adequate reservoir shall be provided. No parking space shall be closer than eight feet to a right-of-way.

(b)

No access or egress driveway, except for single- and two-family houses, shall be so arranged that vehicles can enter or leave the area only by backing on or across any sidewalk or to or from any street.

(c)

Adequate sight distances shall be maintained for vehicles and pedestrians.

(Ord. No. 2010-4, § 80.4, 2-16-2010; Ord. No. 2013-12, § 80.4, 12-2-2013)

(a)

All dwelling units, motels, tourist courts, tourist homes and trailer parks, shall have the required parking spaces provided on the lot on which such dwelling type unit is located. For all other uses, if the off-street parking space required by this division cannot reasonably be provided on the same lot on which the principal use is located, such space may be provided on any land within 400 feet of the main entrance to such principal use. Said land shall be used for no other purpose so long as no other adequate provisions for parking space meeting the requirements of this division have been made for the principal use.

(b)

In such cases, the applicant for a permit for the principal use shall submit with his application for a building permit an instrument duly executed and acknowledged, which subjects said land to parking use in connection with the principal use for which it is made available.

(Ord. No. 2010-4, § 80.5, 2-16-2010; Ord. No. 2013-12, § 80.5, 12-2-2013)

Off-street parking shall be provided in the dimensions shown in the table set forth in section 44-158.

(Ord. No. 2010-4, § 80.6, 2-16-2010; Ord. No. 2013-12, § 80.6, 12-2-2013)

MINIMUM DIMENSIONS

Notes:

(1) The zoning compliance officer may require greater aisle widths where slopes or other obstructions are encountered.

(2) Each parking space that is adjoined on either side of its longer dimension by a fence, wall, partition, column, post, or similar obstruction, and the obstruction is located less than 14 feet from the access aisle measured along the length of the stall, shall have its minimum width increased by at least ten inches on the side of the obstruction.

(Ord. No. 2010-4, § 81, 2-16-2010; Ord. No. 2013-12, § 80.6, 12-2-2013)

(Ord. No. 2013-12, § 81, 12-2-2013)

Every building or structure used for business, trade or industry hereafter erected shall provide space as indicated herein for the loading and unloading of vehicles off the street or public alley. Such space shall have access to an alley, or, if there is no alley, to a street. For the purposes of this section, a loading berth shall have minimum plan dimensions of 12' × 25' overhead clearance. In no case shall the use of loading and unloading space hinder the free movement of vehicles and pedestrians over a street, sidewalk or alley.

(Ord. No. 2010-4, § 82, 2-16-2010; Ord. No. 2013-12, § 82, 12-2-2013)
