West Manchester Township
City Zoning Code

When a parking lot is located in a yard which abuts a street, a landscaped strip shall be provided on the property along the entire street line. If there is no building or other structure on the property, the parking lot shall still be separated from the street by the landscaped strip. This strip shall be measured from the street line. The strip may be located within any other landscaped strip required to be located along a street.

The following lists required widths of landscape strips:

	Number of Spaces in Parking Lot, Including Joint Facilities	Landscape Strip Width Measured From Street Right-of-Way Line (feet)
	Fewer than 50	10
	50 to 100	15
	101 to 250	20
	Over 250	25

Unless otherwise indicated, all parking lots constructed in side or rear yards, as defined herein, shall comply with the accessory use setbacks imposed by yard within each district. In those districts where no accessory use setbacks are listed, all parking lots shall be set back a minimum of 10 feet from any side or rear lot line. Such setbacks shall be used for landscape strips.

Interior landscaping.

In any parking lot containing 10 or more parking spaces, except a parking garage, 10% of the total area of the lot shall be devoted to interior landscaping. Such interior landscaping shall be used at the end of parking space rows and to break up rows of parking spaces at least every 10 parking spaces. Landscaped areas situated outside of the parking lot, such as peripheral areas and areas surrounding buildings, shall not constitute interior landscaping. For the purpose of computing the total area of any parking lot, all areas within the perimeter of the parking lot shall be counted, including all parking spaces and access drives, aisles, islands and curbed areas. Ground cover alone is not sufficient to meet this requirement. Trees, shrubs or other approved material shall be provided. At least one shade tree shall be provided for each 300 square feet (or fraction) of required interior landscaping area. These trees shall have a clear trunk at least five feet above finished grade level.

Parked vehicles may not overhang interior landscaped areas more than 2 1/2 feet. Where necessary, wheel stops or curbing shall be provided to ensure no greater overhang.

If a parking lot of under 10 spaces is built without interior landscaping and later additional spaces are added so that the total is 10 or more, the interior landscaping shall be provided for the entire parking lot.

Screening. When a parking lot is located on property which adjoins land in a residential zone, the lot shall be screened from the adjoining residential property.

§ 150-258 Speed bumps.

Speed bumps, constructed as part of access drives or parking lots, shall be marked with permanent, yellow diagonal stripes.

The speed bumps shall be in the form of mounds or depressions in the pavement and shall be designed to restrain motor vehicle speed.

There shall be a warning sign posted at each entrance to parking area having speed bumps.

§ 150-259 Parking facilities for the physically handicapped.

Location. Parking spaces for the physically handicapped shall be located as close as possible to ramps, walkways, entrances and elevators. Where feasible, these parking spaces shall be located so that the physically handicapped are not forced to wheel or walk across main traffic lanes or behind parked cars to reach the ramps and other facilities. The spaces shall be situated in those areas of the parking lots located nearest to each primary building entrance.

Size: see § 150-251.

Required number of spaces. The following number of parking spaces shall be reserved for the physically handicapped:

	Total Parking Spaces in Lot	Required Minimum Number
	Up to 25	1
	26 to 50	2
	51 to 75	3
	76 to 100	4
	101 to 150	5
	151 to 200	6
	201 to 300	7
	301 to 400	8
	401 to 500	9
	501 to 1,000	20, plus 1 for each 100 over 1,000

Identification. Parking spaces for the physically handicapped shall be identified by signs, generally located eight feet above grade. The signs shall state that the space is reserved by law for the physically handicapped. Where these signs are placed flush against buildings or structures or in other locations not accessible to vehicular or pedestrian traffic, the height may be reduced to six feet.

Curbs.

Where a curb exists between a parking lot and a sidewalk, a horizontally scored ramp or curb cut shall be provided for wheelchair access.

The curb shall not be less than four feet wide and shall have a grade of not more than one foot in 12 feet.

Curb cuts shall be provided within 30 feet of each accessible entrance to the structure, at all pedestrian walk intersections and elsewhere to provide reasonable direct circulation within each development.

The curb cuts shall not be more than 150 feet apart.

Sidewalks.

Sidewalks shall be scored or textured to indicate the location of doors to blind persons.

Exterior sidewalks shall not be obstructed.

Exterior sidewalks shall have a side slope not greater than one inch in four feet. They shall be at least four feet wide and have a grade of not more than one foot in 20 feet.

Wherever sidewalks cross access drives, parking lots or other sidewalks, they shall blend to a common level.

Storm drains. Storm drain gates and similar devices shall not be located within the required access for the physically handicapped.

Grade. The grade of parking spaces for the physically handicapped shall not be more than one foot in 20 feet.

§ 150-260 Joint parking lots.

Required parking spaces, open or closed, may be provided in spaces designated to jointly serve two or more establishments or uses, whether or not located on the same premises, provided that the number of required spaces in such joint facility shall not be less than the total required separately for all such establishments or uses, 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(s) is (are) not in operation, the Board of Supervisors may reduce the total number of parking spaces required for the use with the least requirement.

In commercial shopping centers over two acres in size, joint parking lots may be permitted. These joint facilities can reduce the total number of parking spaces required by a maximum of 20%. Therefore, the resulting joint parking lot will be required to provide at least 80% of the total number of spaces required by the sum of all of the shopping center's tenants. Such reduced parking spaces must still be appropriately distributed upon the lot to provide convenient walking distance between vehicles and each of the shopping center's stores.
