(a)

An off-street parking space shall be a striped area of not less than 162 square feet, measuring approximately nine feet by 18 feet, not located on a public street or alley. Such parking space, aisles and maneuvering areas shall have an all-weather surfacing, enclosed or unenclosed, and shall be connected by a concrete or asphalt driveway surface to a street or alley. Head-in parking adjacent to a public street or alley wherein the maneuvering of the vehicle in parking or leaving a parking space is done on a public street or alley shall not be classified as off-street parking in computing any parking requirements herein specified.

(b)

In determining the required number of parking spaces, fractional spaces shall be counted to the nearest whole space. Parking spaces located in buildings used for repair garages or auto laundries shall not be counted as meeting the required minimum parking.

(c)

Where a lot or tract of land is used for a combination of uses, the off-street parking requirements shall be the composite or sum of the requirements for each type of use and no off-street parking space provided for one type of use or building shall be included in calculation of off-street parking requirements for any other uses of buildings.

(d)

All off-street parking shall comply with the requirements in the Americans with Disabilities Act as amended from time to time.

(e)

In all districts, the required off-street parking for all permitted uses, except institutional uses, shall be available to customers, employees, tenants, clients and occupants of a use on a pre-arranged basis, other than an hourly or fee basis, as free or contract parking in accordance with the minimum parking ratio prescribed for the various districts and uses in the foregoing schedule.

(f)

Except for institutional uses, required off-street parking for permitted uses in single-family, two-family and multiple-family districts shall be provided on the lot or tract occupied by the main use. For institutional uses in residential districts and for permitted uses in all other districts, off-street parking shall be provided on the lot or tract occupied by the main use or upon a tract dedicated to parking use by an instrument filed for record and consolidated under a single certificate of occupancy with the main use. Such parking facility shall be located in the same zoning district as the main use or in any other district which permits a commercial parking lot or garage; and all or part of such facility shall be located within a distance, including streets and alleys, of 300 feet of the property upon which the main use is located.
