Off-street parking facilities for one-family and two-family dwellings shall be located on the same lot or plot of ground as the building to be served. The location of off-street parking facilities for other uses shall not be more than 300 feet distance; provided, however, that the zoning classification for such land is the same or less restrictive than the classification of the lot upon which the main use is located. Such parking space to be used in conjunction with the principal use shall be reserved as such through an encumbrance of the title of the property to be designated as a required parking space, such encumbrance to be valid for the total period of the use or uses for which the parking is needed are in existence. Such agreement or covenant shall be duly recorded in the office of the clerk and recorder, and a certificate [shall be] furnished the building inspector. Such parking space shall be surfaced with a minimum of four inches of concrete or similar approved all-weather surface, and such entrances shall be similarly surfaced.

4.103. For uses not mentioned in this section, the requirements for off-street parking and loading facilities for a similar use specifically mentioned in this section shall apply.

4.104. Parking space is an area on a lot sufficient in size to store one vehicle. This space shall not (except as hereafter noted) be less than nine feet in width and 20 feet in length. This parking space (except for single-family dwellings) shall be served by an aisle or maneuvering area not less than 22 feet in depth. In all uses, 30 percent of the required spaces may be sized for compact cars. These spaces shall not be less than 16 feet in length and eight feet in width. Aisle or maneuvering area shall be the same. The aisle may be 18 feet in depth for one-way traffic.

4.105. Unless stated otherwise, square footage requirements include the calculation of total floor area of the building, less garages, carports, and open porches/decks.

4.106. Some buildings combine two or more uses (such as restaurant/bars or gas station/convenience foodstore), and it will be the judgement of the building-zoning official to determine the proper number of parking spaces based upon the primary use of the building. Conflicts in this determination will be resolved by the zoning commission.
