Operations
1. Off-street parking lots for single- or multiple-family dwellings, home occupations, schools, churches and similar places of public assembly, hospitals, nursing homes, boarding and lodging houses, dormitories, or fraternity or sorority houses shall not be located in any required front yard area.
2. Off-street parking spaces for uses required in the, “C – 3”, “I – 1”, and “I – 2” Districts shall be located in back of the required front yard line and shall be on the same lot as the building they serve.
3. Exterior Storage:
a. All-weather, dust-free surfacing of areas for exterior storage of business vehicles, equipment, and materials is not required.
b. Exterior storage of business vehicles, equipment, and materials shall not occur upon required off-street parking.
In order to provide off-premises required or additional off-street parking areas, the Board of Zoning Appeals may grant as a special use for the establishment of parking areas in any zoning district under the following provisions:
1. Location. The nearest access to the parking area provided under this section must be within 300 feet (along lines of public access) from the boundary of the nearest entrance to the structure for which the parking is provided.
2. The parking area shall be used for passenger vehicles only, and in no case shall it be used for sales, repair work, storage, dismantling or servicing of any vehicles, equipment, materials or supplies.
Only such signs as are necessary for the proper operation of the parking lot shall be permitted.
1. For all uses other than single-family residential structures, plans showing layout and design of all off-street parking areas shall be submitted to and approved by the Zoning Official prior to issuing a building permit. Additionally, provisions for storm water drainage into an established drainage ditch or covered storm sewer system on public right-of-way shall be required for all parking lots more than two thousand (2,000) square feet in area.
Such provisions shall be consistent with and in consideration of the City’s overall storm drainage system and future plans. Before approving any parking layout, the Zoning Official shall satisfy himself that parking spaces provided and storm drainage design is usable and meets standard design criteria of the City.
2. In the case of multiple uses associated with a site, the Zoning Official may calculate the parking requirement as the accumulative requirement of the separate uses unless it is determined that the uses generate overlapping parking demand.
1. Parking lots for other than single-family dwellings that are two thousand (2,000) square feet in area or smaller may be constructed of gravel to a depth of four (4) inches as a minimum standard.
2. Parking lots for other than single-family dwellings that are larger than two thousand (2,000) square feet in area shall be all-weather, dust-free and constructed of the following materials or combinations thereof:
a. Concrete.
b. Asphalt.
c. Prime and seal over aggregate base
1. Area: A required off-street parking space shall be at least nine (9) feet in width and at least twenty (20) feet in length, exclusive of access drives or aisles, ramps, and columns.
2. Access: Each required off-street parking space shall open directly upon an aisle or driveway of such width and design as to provide safe and efficient means of vehicular access to such parking space.
3. Design: Off-street parking spaces shall comply with the design standards relating to curb length, stall depth, driveway width, island width, barriers, and ingress and egress as contained in the Off-Street Parking Standards of this Article.
4. Surfacing: All open off-street parking and loading areas shall be graded and paved or otherwise improved with an approved concrete, asphalt, or other dust-free surface.
5. Lighting: Any lighting used to illuminate off-street parking and loading areas shall be directed away from residential properties in such a way as not to interfere with the residential use.
No motor vehicle repair work or service of any kind shall be permitted in association with any off-street parking facilities. All parking lot surfaces shall be maintained with a smooth, dust-free surface.
In lieu of construction of the required parking lot, the Governing Body of the City may accept a corporate surety bond, cashier's check, escrow account, or other security of a type and in an amount approved by the Governing Body. Such security shall be conditioned upon the actual completion of such work or improvement within the specified time, and shall be enforceable by the Governing Body by all equitable means.
This Article shall not apply to uses existing as of the date of adoption of this Ordinance.
