No outdoor parking of a motor vehicle shall be permitted on any lot containing a dwelling except in the driveway thereof or in a residential parking area for which a certificate of occupancy or certificate of compliance has been issued. Designs and plans for residential parking areas shall be subject to approval by the Building Inspector and the Architectural Review Board and may be constructed only after a permit has been issued therefor. All residential parking areas shall be limited to front yards and/or side yards, and the residential parking area shall be at least five feet from any rear or side property line, and provided further that such parking areas be located and screened in a manner approved by the Architectural Review Board. The Architectural Review Board cannot require a reduction in the size of the proposed residential parking area. Plans for residential parking areas submitted to the Building Inspector shall show in detail the proposed location, surface, drainage, screening, and such other information as the Building Inspector and/or the Architectural Review Board may deem necessary and/or appropriate.

Each automobile parking space shall be not more than 180 square feet in area, with minimum dimensions of nine feet by 18 feet and maximum dimensions of nine feet by 20 feet. In addition, there shall be provided adequate interior, entrance and exit driveways to connect each parking space with a street or alley open to use by the public.

All such off-street parking facilities shall be so drained as to prevent damage to abutting properties and/or public streets, and shall be constructed of material which will assure a surface resistant to erosion.

All parking spaces shall be separated from sidewalks, roads, streets or alleys by curbing, and all roads, streets, alleys, sidewalks and other public rights-of-way shall be protected from vehicular overhang by wheel bumpers, curbs, five-foot spacing between the right-of-way line and the parking area, or other method approved by the Building Inspector.

Interior driveways and entrance and exit driveways shall be at least 10 feet in width to allow safe and expeditious movement of vehicles; one-way movement in such driveways shall be provided for whenever possible and entrance and exit driveways shall be separately provided wherever possible, or, if combined, shall be not less than 20 feet in width.

All off-street parking areas shall be so arranged and marked as to provide for orderly, safe loading, unloading, parking and storage of vehicles with individual parking spaces clearly defined, and directional arrows and traffic signs provided as necessary for traffic control.

Adequate lighting shall be provided if the parking facilities are used at night.

Pedestrian walkways and sidewalks shall be provided in addition to all required parking spaces and drives on all off-street parking facilities where found necessary for pedestrian safety by the Building Inspector; such walkways and sidewalks shall be protected from vehicular overhang and movement by bumpers, curbs or other method approved by the Building Inspector.

Lighting of off-street parking facilities shall be installed and maintained in a manner so as not to reflect or cause glare into abutting or facing residential premises, nor to cause reflection or glare which adversely affects safe vision of operators of vehicles moving on roads and highways.

If the off-street parking facilities adjoin, or are across a street or alley from property classified in a residential zone, the entrance and exit driveways of such facilities shall, wherever possible, be located so that they will not be in close proximity to or across a street or alley from the residential property.

None of the provisions of Subsections D through J shall apply to parking required for dwellings.
