When the axis of the space is oriented parallel to the driveway or access aisle, the length of the space shall be a minimum of 20 feet, including hairpin striping. Where the axis of the space is angled to the driveway or access aisle, the stall depth of the space, measuring perpendicular from the axis of the driveway or access aisle, shall be as herein provided.

B. Striping; wheel stops. Each space shall be separated
from the adjacent space by means of two four-inch-wide stripes with
a sixteen-inch space between said stripes. The spaces at the end of
every row to which the striping requirements apply shall be so marked
that each such space shall be nine feet in width from its outside
edge to the center of the striping between such space and the adjacent
space. Whenever two spaces, except spaces parallel to a driveway or
access aisle, abut each other end to end, each such space shall have
a wheel stop at least four inches high which shall prevent an automobile

agencies whose approval is required by law.
D. Width of driveways. Driveways or access aisles connecting
parking areas or spaces to each other or to the property line shall
not be less than 13 feet wide where one-way traffic is required or

of this subsection shall not modify or eliminate the requirements
for minimum maneuvering spaces as hereinafter provided.

Except where a greater width of planting area
is otherwise required by this chapter, the perimeter of each off-street
parking area for every building or attached group of buildings having

on a public street, except for means of egress and ingress, be effectively
screened by not less than a five-foot-wide planting area; whenever
such parking area abuts on an arterial highway, parkway, residentially
zoned property or on a street abutting residentially zoned property,
such parking area shall be effectively screened by not less than a
fifteen-foot planting area. Such planting area shall be densely planted
with shrubs and trees, pursuant to a plan approved by the Planning
Board, and maintained in a healthy and luxuriant condition throughout
the year. Every parking area containing at least 12,000 square feet
shall have not less than 2% of its interior area devoted to planting
areas containing shrubs or trees, which planting areas shall be located
and planted pursuant to a plan approved by the Planning Board.
(2)
The landscaping and screening requirements of
this section shall be in addition to and shall not supersede or be
in substitution of any landscaping or screening requirements contained
elsewhere in this chapter. Whenever landscaping or screening requirements
contained elsewhere in this chapter require greater width of planting
or impose a higher standard than contained in this section, such requirements
