A.
Applicability. All developments in all

occupants or employees in accordance with the requirements of this
Article.
B.
Location. All parking spaces required herein
shall be located on the same lot with the principal building or use
served, except as provided in this Article. If the off-street parking
spaces required by this Article cannot reasonably be provided on the
lot on which the principal use is located, such parking space may
be provided on a lot within one hundred fifty (150) feet of the principal
use or building; provided, however, that no off-street parking facility
for a structure or use permitted only in a commercial or manufacturing
district shall be located in a residence district. The principal use
shall be permitted to continue only as long as its parking requirements
are met.
C.
Building Or Use Enlarged. Whenever a building
constructed or a use established after the effective date of this
Chapter is changed or enlarged in floor area, number of employees,
number of dwelling units, seating capacity or otherwise to create
a need for an increase of ten percent (10%) or more in the number
of existing parking spaces, such spaces shall be provided on the basis
of the enlargement or change. Whenever a building or use existing
prior to the effective date of this Chapter is enlarged to the extent
of fifty percent (50%) or more in floor area or in the area used,
said building or use shall then and thereafter comply with the parking
requirements set forth herein.
D.
Surfacing. All open off-street parking
areas, except required parking spaces to a single-family dwelling,
shall be graded and paved with asphalt or cement concrete and shall
be provided with six-inch-high curb to prevent vehicular encroachment
into required yard areas.
E.
Open And Enclosed Parking Yard Requirements.
Off-street parking may be open to the sky or enclosed in a building
or structure and shall comply with the following yard requirements:
1.
Off-street parking spaces open to
the sky in commercial and manufacturing districts may be located in
any yard.
2.
In residence districts, no off-street
parking spaces, including circulation lanes, shall be located in a
required front yard or side yard adjacent to a street. No motor vehicle,
trailer or recreational vehicle shall be parked in the required front
yard in any residence district except in a driveway leading to a required
off-street parking space.
3.
Enclosed and semienclosed buildings
and carports containing off-street parking spaces shall be subject
to the yard requirements applicable in the district in which they
are located.
F.
Commercial Vehicle Parking In Residence
Districts. The on-street storage or overnight parking of a commercial
vehicle licensed for twelve thousand (12,000) pounds or greater in
any residence district is prohibited.
G.
Recreational Vehicle Parking. The parking
of a recreational vehicle for dwelling or business purposes is permitted
only in a recreational vehicle park. However, the off-street parking
and storage of recreational vehicles is permitted in any zoning district,
provided that the vehicle is not used for dwelling or business purposes
and that the vehicle is parked and stored on the lot in conformance
with all applicable regulations in this Chapter.
H.
Employee Parking. Parking spaces required
for employees shall be based on the maximum number of employees on
duty or residing, or both, on the premises at any one time.
I.
Lighting. Lighting used to illuminate off-street
parking areas shall be designed and installed so as to contain direct
rays within the parking area.
[R.O. 2017 § 400.660; Ord. No. 02-18 §§ 1 — 5, 10-15-2002) ]
Off-street parking shall be provided
in accordance with the following table. The parking space requirement
for a use not specifically listed shall be determined by the Commission,
taking into account the number of employees, the number of spaces
reasonably required by the visiting public and the number required
for the most nearly comparable use. Where fractional spaces result
in computation of parking space requirements, the parking spaces required
shall be computed to the nearest whole number.

parking only if the hours of operation of all such uses or structures
are such that they are not normally open, used or operated during
