Off-street parking spaces with a paved or graveled surface and roadway connecting with the street may be substituted for all or part of the private garage space required for dwellings under subsection 38-7.5 or 38-7.6e, provided such parking space is in the side or rear yard and is not less than three feet distant from any side or rear lot line with the intervening space appropriately buffered by landscaping. Access to such side or rear yard parking.[1] The maximum driveway width and curb width of a driveway located between the building line and street line in the R-1M Zone shall be 10 feet. Such parking space shall be used only by tenants of the principal building or buildings and temporarily by guests of such tenants. Where such parking is provided in the rear yard, no more than 33% of the rear yard shall consist of impervious surfaces including such parking areas, except that a maximum of 60% impervious coverage in the rear yard shall be permitted with lots having a width of 25 feet or less. In no case shall the improved lot coverage for the entire lot exceed the maximum permitted in Schedule I.[2]

Additional parking may be permitted on the paved driveway leading to such parking spaces, or to a garage. Such additional parking is intended to alleviate on-street parking congestion with the least impact on aesthetic and environmental concerns. This additional parking alone does not fulfill the off-street parking requirements mandated in other sections of this chapter.
