(1) Design. Off-street parking spaces shall comply
with such design standards relating to curb
length, stall depth, driveway width, island width,
barriers, and ingress and egress as may be
established from time to time by the city.
Off-street parking spaces may be open to the sky
or enclosed in a building.
(2) Surfacing. All open off-street parking spaces,
drives and aisles shall be paved with asphalt,
concrete or other permanent material of comparable
performance. Provided however, an unpaved
parking area accessory to a use or building in
existence on the effective date of this ordinance
shall not be required to comply with the paving
standard, except whenever an existing use is
converted to another use or an existing building is
enlarged resulting in an increase in the number of
required off-street parking spaces, the new or
enlarged parking area shall be paved.
The paved surfacing requirement shall not apply to
the following uses: any permitted use in the RS,
R, R-1, R-2, R-2.5, R-3, or MH residential zoning
district with a parking requirement of six (6) or
fewer spaces or any permitted use in the A-1
agricultural, 1-2 or 1-3 industrial zoning district.
Although exempt from the paving requirement,
access drives and parking spaces for the above
uses shall be graded and surfaced with crushed
stone, gravel, or other all-weather material. All
parking areas shall be properly maintained and
kept free of potholes, weeds, dust, trash and
debris. Loose material shall be contained within
the designated parking area and kept from spilling
into public streets.
(3) Screening. All open off-street parking areas
containing more than six (6) parking spaces shall
be effectively screened on each side that adjoins
any property situated in a single-family residential
district by a wall, fence or densely planted
compact evergreen hedge not less than six (6) feet
or more than eight (8) feet in height. Parking
areas shall be arranged and designed so as to
prevent damage to, or intrusion into, such wall,
fence or hedge.
(4) Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate
off-street parking areas shall be directed away
from residential properties in such a way as not to
interfere with the residential use.

materials, equipment, refuse containers, inoperable
vehicles or the repair of vehicles shall be
permitted in required off-street driving aisles or
parking spaces.
(6) Computation. When determination of the number of
off-street parking spaces required by this division
results in a requirement of a fractional space, the
fraction of one-half or less may be disregarded,
and a fraction in excess of one-half shall be
counted as one parking space.

(7) Collective and joint use provisions. One (1)
off-street parking area may serve several different
uses provided the area contains the total required
spaces for all uses. In addition, different uses
may make joint use of the same parking spaces
provided written assurances are given that such
uses operate at different or non -conflicting times.
All regulations covering the location of accessory
parking spaces in relation to the uses served shall
be adhered to.
(8) Location. All parking spaces required to serve
buildings or uses shall be located on the same
zoning lot or in the same zoning district as such
building or use, except that such parking spaces
may be provided in an adjacent zoning district if
such district allows parking lots or parking
garages as a permitted use. But in no instance
shall required off-street parking be located more
than six hundred (600) feet (as measured along
lines of public access) from the use which it
serves.
(9) Employee parking. Parking spaces required on an
employee basis shall be based on the maximum
number of employees on duty or residing, or
expected to be on duty or residing, or both, on
the premises at any one time, at the same time as
the building permit is issued.
(10) Maximum number of spaces. The total number of
accessory parking spaces provided for a
single-family, a two-family or multiple -family
dwelling shall not exceed that required by this
division, for such use or for any equivalent new
use by more than fifty (50) percent or four (4)
spaces, whichever number is greater.
(11 ) Exempt zone. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this chapter, no accessory off-street parking
facilities shall be required for any structure in the
C-4 central business districts except residences,
and those uses specifically required to provide
parking.
(12) Determination of required spaces. When
determining the required number of off-street
parking spaces for apartment houses, lodging,
boarding or rooming houses, fraternities,
sororities, and dormitories, an occupant shall mean
an individual separate and distinct from the
immediate family of the owner, landlord or
operator."
