§ 153.086 SPECIAL PARKING PROVISIONS.

   Every parcel of land hereafter used as a public, commercial, or private parking lot shall be developed and maintained in accordance with the following requirements.
   (A)   Screening and landscaping. Off-street parking areas for more than ten vehicles shall be effectively screened on each side which adjoins or faces premises situated in any “A” or “R” District, or institutional premises, by a fence of acceptable design. Such fence shall be not less than four feet or more than six feet in height and shall be maintained in good condition without any advertising thereon. The space between such wall or fence and the lot line of the adjoining premises in any “A” or “R” District shall be landscaped with grass, hardy shrubs, or evergreen ground cover and maintained in good condition. In lieu of such wall, or fence, a strip of land not less than ten feet in width, and planted and maintained with an evergreen hedge or dense planting of evergreen shrubs not less than four feet in height or more than six feet in height, may be substituted.
   (B)   Minimum distance and setbacks. No part of any parking area for more than ten vehicles shall be closer than 20 feet to any dwelling, school, hospital, or other institution for human care located on an adjoining lot, unless separated by an acceptably designed screen. In no case shall any part of a parking area be closer than five feet to any established street or alley right-of-way. For residential uses, access drives shall have a minimum side yard of three feet from the boundary lines of adjoining properties. For nonresidential uses, access drives shall have a minimum side yard requirement of 25 feet and a minimum rear yard requirement of 40 feet. The wall or hedge required in division (A) above shall be set back from each street, the same as if it were a building wall, so as to observe the front yard requirements of this chapter.
   (C)   Joint use. Two or more nonresidential uses may jointly provide and use parking spaces when their hours of operation do not normally overlap, provided that a written agreement, approved by the Solicitor and accepted by the Zoning Board of Appeals, shall be filed with the application for a zoning certificate.
   (D)   Other locations. Parking spaces may be located within 300 feet on a lot other than that containing the principal use with the approval of the Zoning Board of Appeals, provided a written agreement, approved by the Village Solicitor and accepted by the Zoning Board of Appeals, shall be filed with the application for a zoning certificate.
   (E)   Surfacing. Any off-street parking area shall be graded for proper drainage and surfaced so as to provide a durable surface constructed of one of the following materials: asphalt; concrete; or tar and chip.
   (F)   Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate any off-street parking area shall be so arranged as to reflect the light away from adjoining premises in any “A” or “R” District.
   (G)   Approved parking areas. All vehicles parked off-street shall be parked in an approved parking area constructed according to the requirements of division (E) above. All vehicles shall not be parked in front, side, or rear yards except in approved parking areas.
   (H)   Disabled vehicles. The parking of a disabled and/or unlicensed vehicle within a Residential District for a period of more than two weeks shall be prohibited, except that such vehicle may be stored in an enclosed garage or other accessory building, provided that no business shall be conducted in connection therewith while such vehicle is parked or stored.
