General Parking Requirements.
1.
Off-street parking space shall be provided for all uses of land

of a durable, dustproof, surfaced, properly graded for drainage, usable
and accessible area enclosed in a main building, in an accessory building
or unenclosed. The space shall comprise an area of not less than three
hundred (300) square feet including the necessary driveway and space
between vehicles on the parking lot or area. Driveways or ramps connecting
a parking space with a street or alley shall provide satisfactory
ingress or egress of automobiles and shall be so located as to minimize
traffic congestion, and to eliminate the necessity for backing into
the street or roadway. Unenclosed parking space shall be paved with
an asphaltic penetration surface, asphaltic concrete or portland cement
concrete.
2.
Parking space provided for uses other than single-family or
two-family dwellings shall have appropriate bumper guards or wheel
guards where necessary because of grade or change in grade. Where
lighting is provided, it shall be aimed to produce as little glare
as possible on nearby property and so as to produce no traffic hazards.
Any attendant shelter structures shall be within all building or setback
lines.

from any adjoining residential district. Such screening shall consist
of a louvered fence (horizontal louver), a solid wood fence or a wall,
and such screening shall not be less than five (5) feet in height.

Parking space required by this Chapter for residential use shall
be provided on the same lot that the residential use is located. Parking
space required by this Chapter for non-residential uses in a residential
district shall be provided on the same lot as the principle use or

space required by this Chapter for uses in industrial zones shall
be located within six hundred (600) feet of the building to be served.
5.
No off-street parking spaces provided under this Section shall
be used for any other purpose. Where a change in use creates greater
