Any use not included in the parking requirements in this Title
shall be assigned a parking requirement by the Planning Commission.
[Ord. No. 1007 §16-226.04, 1-24-2001; Ord. No. 1091 §§1 — 3(App. A §425.040), 9-24-2003]
A.
Parking
stall dimensions shall not be less than nine (9) feet wide (measured
perpendicular) with the necessary space for maneuvering into and out
of the space. For standard parking lots, minimum cross dimension shall
be as follows:
1.
Ninety degree (90°) pattern single loaded aisle. Forty-two
(42) foot wheel stop to opposite curb.
2.
Ninety degree (90°) pattern double loaded aisle. Sixty
(60) foot wheel stop to wheel stop.

[Ord. No. 1007 §16-226.05, 1-24-2001; Ord. No. 1091 §§1 — 3(App. A §425.050), 9-24-2003; Ord. No. 1142 §16, 12-8-2004; Ord. No. 1260 §13, 5-21-2008]
A.
All parking
stalls shall be at least nine (9) feet by sixteen (16) feet. All parking
and access areas shall be ready for use upon occupying a building
and shall be surfaced with a permanent, bituminous, concrete or brick
paving meeting the standards of the City prior to the issuance of
an occupancy permit, unless special permission is granted by the City
Engineer due to weather conditions not being satisfactory for placing
asphaltic materials. In addition, driveways of single-family residential
properties shall be surfaced with permanent bituminous, concrete or
brick paving.
B.
Permeable
paving systems consisting of structural materials (e.g., concrete
slabs, paving blocks or grids or turf blocks), and which may be filled
with pervious materials such as vegetated soil, gravel or sand, may
be considered by the City as an acceptable parking area surface.
[Ord. No. 1007 §16-226.06, 1-24-2001; Ord. No. 1091 §§1 — 3(App. A §425.060), 9-24-2003]
Ingress and egress shall be by means of paved driveways not
exceeding thirty (30) feet in width.
[Ord. No. 1007 §16-226.07, 1-24-2001; Ord. No. 1091 §§1 — 3(App. A §425.070), 9-24-2003; Ord. No. 1260 §14, 5-21-2008]
Head-in parking from public right-of-way shall only be permitted
after a positive recommendation from the City Traffic Engineer and
only as part of new construction or development. Head-in parking that
exists at the effective date of this codification may continue to
be used as a non-conforming use.
[Ord. No. 1007 §16-226.08, 1-24-2001; Ord. No. 1091 §§1 — 3(App. A §425.080), 9-24-2003]
Any lights used to illuminate the parking area shall be arranged,
located, shielded and screened to direct light away from any adjoining
or abutting residential districts.
[Ord. No. 1007 §16-226.09, 1-24-2001; Ord. No. 1091 §§1 — 3(App. A §425.090), 9-24-2003]
[Ord. No. 1007 §16-226.10, 1-24-2001; Ord. No. 1091 §§1 — 3(App. A §425.100), 9-24-2003]
A.
No parking
area or driveway serving one- and two-family dwellings shall be located
within two (2) feet of an adjoining lot line except for joint driveways
serving two (2) properties. Paved parking areas or customary driveways
in the required yards abutting streets shall not exceed thirty-five
percent (35%) of the area of those yards for one- and two-family dwellings.
B.
For one- and two-family dwellings parking shall be restricted to customary passenger cars and motor vehicles of a gross weight of eight thousand (8,000) pounds and less than twenty (20) feet in length. Such passenger cars and motor vehicles must be parked on driveways or in garages paved in accordance with Section 425.050.
C.
In Districts
"R-3" through "R-6", additional parking may be required for campers,
boats, trailers and the like. Such vehicles will be parked in well
screened parking lots or parking garages and will not be permitted
to occupy a regular parking space. The number of such spaces will
be set by the Planning Commission.
D.
In Districts
"R-3" through "R-6", no parking shall be permitted in the required
front yard or side yard when abutting a street.
E.
All parking
lots and drives leading thereto, except those serving single-family
and two-family dwellings, shall have curbs and drainage facilities
approved by the City Engineer. Where greater setback requirements
do not prevail, the back of the curb of a paved parking area shall
not be closer than six (6) feet to a property line, except that in
a planned zoning district, the Planning Commission may permit a lesser
setback where similar development on an adjoining lot will produce
a satisfactory relationship.
F.
The Planning
Commission may require that a parking area be screened on any side
where it may adversely affect adjacent property by a wall, a fence
or screen planting or a combination to a height that the Commission
deems adequate.
G.
A portion
of the parking area required under this Title may remain unimproved
until such time as the City Council deems it must be improved to serve
the parking demand adequately. Such delayed improvement may be permitted
only after the Planning Commission is satisfied that the initial occupancy
of the premises will be adequately served by the lesser number of
spaces and only after approval of a final development plan indicating
clearly the location, pattern and circulation to and from the delayed
parking spaces. The land area so delineated for future parking shall
be brought to finished grade, be landscaped and shall not be used
for building, storage, loading or other purposes.
H.
Handicapped. Parking spaces shall be not less than twelve
(12) feet wide and located as close as possible to ramps, walkways
and entrances. Such spaces shall be identified by handicapped signs.
For the number of spaces required see the Building Code.
The Planning Commission, in specific cases, may require that
any screen planting, fence or wall around a parking lot shall be set
back from a street if such setback will prevent adverse effects upon
the appropriate use of adjacent property or will prevent a traffic
hazard, but provided that such setback need not be greater than the
respective front or side yard requirements in that district.
