parking, by vehicles for which the size space was designed, for as
long as the use for which it was required exists.
(b)
All required parking shall be located so as to be accessible, in
a safe manner, to the buildings which it serves. In residential zones
all required covered parking shall be located within one hundred (100)

surface of portland cement concrete extending from a garage entrance
directly away from there for a minimum distance of twenty-five (25)
feet shall be provided. Such surface shall be the full width of the
garage entrance and shall be connected to a public street by a portland
cement concrete driveway. In the case of a front entrance garage,
the minimum setback required from the street shall be twenty-five
(25) feet except that a minimum of twenty (20) feet shall be permitted
where a roll-up garage door is provided.

The minimum width of a garage entrance opening shall be eight (8)
feet per parking space housed within such garage and sixteen (16)
feet for a two (2) car garage.
(e)
The flooring material for garages and carports in all districts shall
be portland cement concrete (P.C.C.).
(f)
All vehicles shall be parked on an improved surface of portland cement
concrete, asphalt, or turf block.
