Parking requirements. Accessory off-street parking spaces, open or enclosed, shall be provided for any use as specified herein. Any land which is developed as a unit under single ownership and control shall be considered a single lot for the purpose of these parking regulations. Reasonable and appropriate off-street parking requirements for structures and uses which do not fall within the categories listed herein shall be determined by the Planning Board upon consideration of all factors entering into the parking needs of each such use.

Areas computed as parking spaces. Areas which may be computed as open or enclosed off-street parking spaces include any private garage, carport, or other area available for parking, other than a street or a driveway. However, other than on that portion of a corner lot which is subject to the provisions of § 535-23, a driveway within a required front yard for a one- or two-family residence may count as one parking space.

Size of spaces. Each parking space shall be a minimum of nine feet wide by 18 feet deep and shall be served by an aisle not less than 24 feet wide. Where parking is arranged back-to-back, each parking space may share a common backup space. Entrance and exit lanes shall not be computed as parking space, except for driveways in one- and two-family residences, as set forth above.

Identification. Each parking space shall be identified with two painted lines (white or yellow traffic paint), four inches wide, set seven feet apart and placed one foot in from each side. These lines shall extend for 20 feet in length.

Prohibited parking areas. Parking shall not be permitted between the street line and the front elevation of the principal building in all residential districts. Parking shall not be permitted anywhere in the front yard of any dwelling, except that where the Planning Board finds that due to unique conditions compliance with this limitation will cause practical difficulties and tend to increase on-street parking by residents, the Planning Board may authorize parking anywhere in the front yard of such dwelling except for that portion thereof which is directly in front of the principal building, exclusive of garage structures.

Access. Unobstructed access to and from a street shall be provided. Such access shall consist of at least one twelve-foot-wide lane for parking areas with fewer than 20 spaces and at least two twelve-foot-wide lanes for parking areas with 20 spaces or more. No entrance or exit for any off-street parking area with a capacity of more than four spaces shall be located within 50 feet of any street intersection nor exceed a grade in excess of 6% within 25 feet of any street line or 10% at any other point.

Drainage and surfacing. All parking areas shall be properly drained and all such areas, except for parking spaces accessory to a one- or two-family dwelling, shall be provided with a dustless surface in accordance with specifications of the City of Port Jervis. The maximum slope of a parking area shall not exceed 5%.

Joint facilities. Required parking spaces, open or enclosed, may be provided in spaces designed to serve jointly two or more establishments, whether or not located on the same lot, provided that the number of required spaces in such joint facilities shall not be less than the total required for all such establishments.

Combined spaces. When any lot contains two or more uses having different parking requirements, the parking requirements for each use shall apply to the full extent. Where it can be conclusively demonstrated that one or more such uses will be generating a demand for parking spaces primarily during periods when the other use or uses is not or are not in operation, the Planning Board may reduce the total parking requirement to an amount which, in its judgment, will prevent frequent parking on the street by persons working on, or visiting, the premises.

Enclosed facilities. Required parking areas may be constructed within or under any portion of a main building, provided that the access driveway does not at any point have a grade in excess of 10%.

Location and ownership. Required accessory parking spaces, open or enclosed, shall be provided upon the same lot as the use to which they are accessory or elsewhere, provided that no required spaces are located farther than 200 feet walking distance from such lot. In all such cases, the parking spaces shall conform to all the regulations of the district in which the parking spaces are located, and in no event shall such parking spaces be located in any residence district unless either the use to which the spaces are accessory is permitted in such residence districts or upon approval by the Planning Board. Such spaces shall be in the same ownership as the use to which they are accessory and shall be subject to deed restrictions, approved by the Planning Board, binding the owner and the owner's heirs and assigns to maintain the required number of spaces available either throughout the existence of the use to which they are accessory or until such spaces are provided elsewhere, in a location and manner acceptable to the Planning Board.

Lots divided by district boundaries. When a parking lot is located partly in one district and partly in another district, the regulations for the district requiring the greater number of parking spaces shall apply to the entire lot. Parking spaces on such lot may be located without regard to district lines, provided that no such parking spaces shall be located in any residential district unless either the use to which they are accessory is permitted in such district or upon approval by the Planning Board.

Landscaping. All open parking areas shall be suitably landscaped. In parking lots with more than 20 spaces, at least 5% of the area of the parking lot shall be devoted to landscaping within the interior of the parking area. Such landscaping shall be in addition to that which may be required along the street line, the lot lines, or the building foundation.

Loading requirements. Accessory off-street loading berths shall be provided for any use specified herein. Any land which is developed as a unit under single ownership and control shall be considered a single lot for the purpose of these loading requirements. Reasonable and appropriate off-street loading requirements for structures and uses which do not fall within the categories listed shall be determined by the Planning Board upon consideration of all factors entering into the loading needs of each such use.

Size of spaces. Except as provided hereinbefore, each required loading berth shall be at least 12 feet wide, 35 feet long, and 15 feet high.

Location and access. Unobstructed access, at least 12 feet wide, to and from a street shall be provided. Such access may be combined with access to a parking lot. All permitted or required loading berths shall be on the same lot as the use to which they are accessory, except as provided above. No entrance or exit for any loading area shall be located within 50 feet of any street intersection. All loading berths shall meet the minimum setback requirements and shall be screened where visible from any residential district boundary.

Joint facilities. Permitted or required loading berths, open or enclosed, may be provided in spaces designated to serve jointly two or more adjacent establishments, provided that the number of required berths in such joint facilities shall not be less than the aggregate of all such requirements.

Lots divided by district boundaries. When a lot is located partly in one district and partly in another district, the regulations for the district requiring the greater number of loading berths shall apply to the entire lot. Loading berths on such lot may be located without regard to district lines, provided that no such berths shall be in any residence district, unless either the use to which they are accessory is permitted in such district or upon approval by the Planning Board.

Pavement markings. Wherever space is provided for the parking of five or more vehicles in the open, such spaces shall be individually identified by means of pavement markings.

Proximity to windows. The parking of motor vehicles is prohibited within 15 feet of any wall or portion thereof of a three-or-more-family dwelling, which wall contains windows (other than bathroom or kitchen windows) with a sill height of less than eight feet above the level of said parking space.

No motor vehicle services to be rendered. No service of any kind shall be permitted to extended users of the lot, including automobile service, repair or fueling, and no gasoline, oil, grease, or other supplies shall be stored or sold in any such lot or in any garage on such lot.

Screening. Parking areas shall be thoroughly screened, subject to approval by the Planning Board. Generally, such screening shall be eight feet in height and, if composed of plants, shall not be less than three feet in height, but capable of reaching eight feet in height at maturity.

Abutting. Wherever a parking area of over five spaces is within 15 feet of the side or rear lot lines of a lot in any residence district, said parking lot shall be thoroughly screened from such adjoining lot, subject to approval by the Planning Board. Generally such screening shall be eight feet in height and, if composed of plants, shall not be less than three feet in height, capable of reaching eight feet in height at maturity.

Across the street. Whenever a parking area of over five spaces is located across the street from any land in a residence district, it shall be thoroughly screened subject to approval by the Planning Board. Such screening shall be located along a line drawn parallel to the street and a distance of five feet therefrom. The open area between such screening and the street shall be landscaped in harmony with the landscaping prevailing on neighboring properties fronting on the same street. Two identification and directional signals located on the street side of such screening, with an area of not more than three square feet each, shall be permitted.

Maximum slope. The maximum slope of a driveway shall not exceed 13% to 15%, as may be approved by the Planning Board.

Dual service. A driveway servicing a loading berth and/or a parking area of over five spaces shall not be less than 24 feet wide and shall be adequate and sufficient in size, location, and design to accommodate the maximum traffic, parking, and loading needs and the access of fire-fighting equipment and police or emergency vehicles.

Trailer. The storage or parking and use of a trailer by any person or persons is hereby prohibited in all districts, except that:

Boat. Not more than one boat not over 20 feet in length may be stored on an occupied lot in any residence district, provided that such boat is not stored within any required setback nor between the street line and the principal building.

Manufactured homes and manufactured home courts. Manufactured homes and manufactured home courts are prohibited in all districts.

Weight restriction. In any residence district, not more than one commercial vehicle with a gross vehicle weight limited to 2 1/2 tons may be parked on an occupied lot. In no case may the vehicle be parked within the required setbacks of such lot, and in no case between the street line and the principal building.

One per private garage. Not more than one such commercial vehicle may be parked within a private garage in any residence district.

Prohibited on open lots. No vehicle or part(s) thereof shall be parked or stored on any unimproved lot.
