(a)

For the purpose of this article, 200 square feet of lot or floor area, which has a means of ingress or egress from an alley or street, shall be deemed parking space for one vehicle. Such space shall not occupy any part of any required front yard, but where open may be included as a part of a required open space for side or rear yard, except as otherwise provided in this chapter. On corner or through lots, parking space may not be included as part of required yards lying adjacent to either street. Such parking spaces, and access driveways required in all districts, when used in compliance with the provisions of this chapter, shall be paved with concrete or asphaltic materials.

(b)

Parking areas, driveways, roadways, and areas used for vehicle travel or storage, serving non-residential uses of property, shall be paved as above provided and so as properly to drain off all surface water. When such areas or lots abut upon adjacent residential properties, there shall be provided a wall or solid screen planting of appropriate shrubs to a height of not less than four feet along the entire boundary, common to both the residential and paved areas. Lights used to illuminate such lots shall be so arranged as to reflect lighting away from the adjoining premises in a residential district. Parking space shall be reserved for the sole use of the occupants of the building or lots and their customers. Churches, theaters, stadiums, auditoriums and other places of assembly may make arrangements for joint use of parking spaces as hereinafter specified.

(Code 1965, § 6-10-1)

In any zone, every building erected, or structurally altered, enlarged or increased in capacity, and every land use, shall be provided with minimum off-street parking facilities as follows:

Such reduction may not be below the standards set in this article. Loading or unloading areas shall not be considered as parking areas.

(m)

Community residences. Additional parking spaces on the premises shall be required where more than two staff persons are to use or occupy the premises—one additional space for each additional two staff.

(Code 1965, § 6-10-2)

The joint use of parking facilities may be permitted in cases where major parking demands occur on different days of the week or during different hours, provided that parking spaces will be available for each use in accordance with standards specified in this article and that the owners agree in writing that any subsequent sale or division of the property or change in use thereof will not interfere with the joint use of the parking facilities.

(Code 1965, § 6-10-3)

A plan of parking facilities shall accompany each application for a building permit or certificate of compliance. The completion of the improvements for parking according to such plan shall be a requisite for the validity of the permit or certificate.
