No land shall be used or occupied and no structure shall be erected or used unless the off-street parking spaces required herein are provided. Such parking spaces are not required for any structure or use existing at the time of enactment of this ordinance; however, the parking spaces as specified herein shall be provided for any enlargement or structural alteration to any such existing structure or use.

Each parking space shall contain a minimum area of one hundred eighty (180) square feet for each vehicle exclusive of necessary drives and other access ways. A driveway, however, may be considered a required parking space for a dwelling.

Every parcel of land which, after the effective date of this ordinance, is changed to a parking area for more than ten (10) vehicles, or a drive-in business (except drive-in theaters and auto sales lots), shall be developed as follows:

1.

If such area is subject to wheeled traffic, it shall be surfaced with asphalt or concrete.

2.

Where such area is contiguous to a lot in a residential district and is not separated by a street, alley, or other public way, a wall or fence of solid appearance or tight evergreen hedge having a height of not less than six feet shall be erected and maintained between such area and the property in the residential district. Any light used to illuminate said parking lot shall be so arranged as to reflect the light away from adjoining premises and abutting streets.

Off-street automobile parking space shall be provided on any lot on which any of the following listed uses are hereafter established and in accordance with the schedule shown. When a use is increased in capacity by the addition of dwelling rooms, guest rooms, floor area or seats, the minimum off-street parking shall be provided for such increase.

Prior to approval of off-street parking facilities as defined herein, such plans shall be reviewed by the planning commission with respect to the safe and efficient movement of pedestrians and vehicular traffic.

(Ord. No. 683, 12-20-1982; Ord. No. 817, 7-19-1993)

No land shall be used or occupied and no structure shall be erected or structurally altered for commercial or industrial uses in which commodities are sold, displayed, stored, serviced, repaired, altered, or fabricated as the principal use of the establishment unless off-street loading spaces required herein are provided. Such loading spaces, however, are not required for any commercial or industrial structure or use existing at the time of the enactment of this ordinance unless such structure or use is enlarged or structurally altered by twenty-five (25) per cent.

The off-street loading spaces required by this ordinance shall be located in all cases on the same lot or parcel of land as the use or structure they are intended to serve. In no case should any required loading space be part of an area used to satisfy the off-street parking requirement of this ordinance.

For each commercial or industrial establishment required to provide off-street loading space, at least one loading space with an area of at least two hundred (200) square feet shall be provided. If the commercial or industrial structure contains over one thousand (1,000) square feet of gross floor area, two off-street loading spaces shall be provided. In such a case one space shall be at least two hundred (200) square feet in area, and the other space shall be at least four hundred fifty (450) square feet in area with a minimum overhead clearance of fourteen (14) feet, if the loading space is sheltered by a roof.

If off-street loading facilities are located next to a residential district the requirements of section 4.03 shall apply.
