The P-1 Vehicular Parking District is intended to permit the establishment of areas to be used solely for off-street parking of private passenger vehicles as a use incidental to a principal use. This district will generally be provided by petition or request to serve a land use that has developed without adequate off-street parking facilities. The district can also serve, where applicable, as a district of land use transition between a nonresidential district and a residential district.

The following regulations shall apply to all P-1 Districts.

Trash receptacles and their accompanying screening device, when it can be clearly shown that the location and functional use of a trash receptacle cannot be achieved on the same parcel with the principal use of land for which the trash receptacle is intended to serve. After review of the site, the Planning Commission may permit a trash receptacle and its accompanying screening device to be placed in a developed or developing off-street parking lot in the district, provided the following conditions are met.

The parking area shall be accessory to, and for use in connection with, one or more businesses, or industrial establishments, located in adjoining business or industrial districts, or in connection with one or more existing professional or institutional office buildings or institutions.

Parking areas shall be contiguous to a RM-1, RM-2, OS, B-1, B-2, B-3, I-1 or I-2 District. Parking areas may be approved when adjacent to said districts or on the end of a block where such areas front on a street that is perpendicular to that street servicing the district. There may be a private driveway or public street or public alley between such P-1 District and the above-listed districts.

Parking areas shall be used solely for parking of private passenger vehicles and shall not be used for off-street loading, unloading or the placement of trash receptacles.

No commercial repair work or service of any kind, or sale or display thereof, shall be conducted in such parking area.

No signs of any kind, other than signs designating entrances, exits and conditions of use, shall be maintained on such parking area.

No building, other than those for shelter of attendants, shall be erected upon premises, and they shall not exceed 15 feet in height.

Applications for P-1 District rezoning shall be made to the Building Department by submitting the dimensional layout of the area requested, showing the intended parking plan. The plan shall be laid out in accordance with the requirements of this article and in accordance with the requirements of Article XXI of this chapter.

Side and rear yards. Where the P-1 District is contiguous to the side and/or rear lot lines of premises within a residentially zoned district, required screening, as set forth in Article XXII in this chapter, shall be located along said lot line.

Front yards. Where the P-1 District is contiguous to a residentially zoned district which has a common frontage on the same block with residential structures, or wherein no residential structures have yet been erected, there shall be a setback equal to 1/2 the required residential setback for said residential district. The required wall shall be located on this minimum setback line.

P-1 Vehicular Parking Districts shall be laid out, developed and maintained in accordance with the applicable requirements of Article XX of this chapter.

All required screening and landscaping shall adhere to the applicable requirements of Article XXII of this chapter.
