(Code 1979, §§ 11:1.1001, 11:1.1002)

In districts R-1, R-2, R-3 and R-4 required off-street parking shall be provided on the lot on which is located the use to which the parking pertains. In other districts, such parking may be provided either on the same lot or on another lot not in one of the districts listed herein where the lot on which the parking spaces are located and the lot on which the use requiring them is located are not separated by more than 200 feet at their closest points.

(Code 1979, § 11:1.1011)

Off-street parking is not permitted in residential districts between any street and the front setback line except upon a driveway.

(Code 1979, § 11:1.1015)

No parking space shall be located within three feet of any lot line, and curbs or wheel stops shall be maintained to prevent any part of a parked vehicle from encroaching on this area. For purposes of measurement and location, a parking space shall be considered as extending three feet beyond a curb or wheel stop where the space is so oriented that the end of a motor vehicle will project over it when the space is used as intended.

The zoning board of appeals shall have power, upon written application of the owner of any lot, to reduce the amount of off-street parking required thereon upon a showing that, due to the particular circumstances of the situation, the requirement of the article is excessive. It shall also have power to modify the paving requirement upon a showing that the parking area will have light use and will create no dust or other nuisance. It may attach such reasonable condition to any relief granted as is necessary to carry out the spirit and purpose of this article, including a requirement, where the number of required parking spaces is reduced, that an area be graded and maintained as lawn without trees, in such fashion that it can be made into a parking area if necessary. Any relief granted under this subsection may be modified or revoked at any time, but not until the owner of the lot has been given ten days' notice of the proposed action and an opportunity to be heard at the meeting at which such action is proposed.
