residential district lot line.
D.
Surfacing. All off-street parking areas, except a single parking
space accessory to a single-family dwelling, shall be surfaced capable

on a four-inch base or five inches of portland cement will meet this
requirement). Any parking area for more than 10 vehicles shall have
the aisles and spaces clearly marked.
E.
Landscaping.
(1)
Accessory landscape area. All public and private off-street parking
areas which serve four vehicles or more, are located within 15 feet

kind shall be permitted in association with parking facilities provided
in residence districts.

such lighting exceed three footcandles measured at the lot line.
(7)
Street setback area. No parking shall be permitted between the street
right-of-way line and the building setback line prevailing in the
zone in which the proposed parking area is to be located. The resulting
open area shall be planted in grass or otherwise landscaped to create
a permanent green area.

use, such facilities shall be in the same possession as the lot occupied
by the use to which the parking facilities are accessory or in the
possession of the controller of the principal use to which the parking
facilities are accessory. Such possession shall be by deed whereby
the owner of the land on which the parking facilities are to be located

jurisdiction. No direct public or private access shall be permitted
to the existing or proposed rights-of-way of freeways, interstate
highways and their interchanges or turning lanes nor to intersecting
or interchanging streets within 1,500 feet of the most remote end
of the taper of the turning lanes (such as exit and entrance ramps).
No driveway openings shall be permitted within 100 feet of the intersection
of an arterial street right-of-way line.
