In all districts there shall be provided at the time any building or structure is erected or structurally altered (except as provided in section 14.12.002), off-street parking spaces in accordance with the following requirements:
All parking spaces, driveways, display areas, and off-street parking spaces shall be concrete pavement.
Editor's note–The provisions regarding concrete pavement in the above paragraph were in the amendment of this section by Ord. 811-20 but were not in the subsequent amendment by Ord. 858-22. This appears to have been an inadvertent error in the drafting of Ord. 858-22.
