CHAPTER 1290

P-1 Vehicular Parking Districts

1290.01 INTENT.

   P-1 Vehicular Parking Districts are intended to permit the establishment of areas to be used solely for off-street parking of private passenger vehicles, a use incidental to a principal use. The P-1 District will generally be provided by petition or request to serve a use district which has developed without adequate off-street parking facilities.
(Ord. 458. Passed 1-4-89.)

1290.02 PRINCIPAL USES PERMITTED.

   Premises in P-1 Vehicular Parking Districts shall be used only for off-street vehicular parking areas and shall be developed and maintained subject to such regulations as are hereinafter provided.
(Ord. 458. Passed 1-4-89.)

1290.03 REQUIRED CONDITIONS.

   (a)   A 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.
   (b)   Such parking areas shall be contiguous to an RM District or a nonresidential district. Parking areas may be approved when adjacent to such a district or when on the end of a block which fronts on a street which is perpendicular to the street servicing the district. There may be a private driveway or public street or public alley between such P-1 District and such RM or nonresidential district.
   (c)   Parking areas shall be used solely for the parking of private passenger vehicles for periods of less than one day and shall not be used as an off-street loading area.
   (d)   No commercial repair work or service of any kind, or sales or displays of such vehicles, shall be conducted in such parking area.
   (e)   No sign of any kind, other than a sign designating an entrance, exit and condition of use, shall be maintained on such parking area.
   (f)   No building, other than a building for the shelter of attendants, shall be erected upon the premises, and such building shall not exceed fifteen feet in height.
(Ord. 458. Passed 1-4-89.)

1290.04 YARDS; WALLS.

   (a)   Side and Rear Yards. Where a P-1 Vehicular Parking District is contiguous to the side or rear lot line of premises within a residentially zoned district, the required wall shall be located along such lot line.
   (b)   Front Yards. Where the P-1 District is contiguous to a residentially zoned district which has a common frontage in the same block with residential structures or wherein no residential structures have been yet erected, or is across the street from a Residential District, there shall be a setback equal to the required residential setback for such Residential District or a minimum of twenty-five feet, whichever is greater. The required wall shall be located on this minimum set-back line unless, under unusual circumstances, the Planning Commission finds that no good purpose would be served. The land between such set-back and street right-of-way line shall be kept free from refuse and debris, shall be planted with shrubs, trees or lawn and shall be maintained in a healthy, growing condition, neat and orderly in appearance.
(Ord. 458. Passed 1-4-89.)
