A.
Off-street parking required. Off-street parking spaces, open air or indoor, shall be provided with all new construction or the creation of new uses as specified in this chapter, on the same lot as the use which they are intended to serve, and shall be furnished with necessary passageways and driveways. All such space shall be deemed to be required space on the lot on which the use it serves is situated, and such space shall not be encroached upon or reduced in any manner. All parking areas, passageways and drives shall be in accordance with Chapter 265, Site Plan Review, and Chapter 294, Article I, Road Acceptance Specifications, of the Oxford Township Code, shall be clearly marked for car spaces (except when provided in connection with one-family dwelling units) and shall be adequately drained and subject to the approval of the Township Engineer. The provision of off-street parking, in accordance with the standards of this section, shall accompany any rebuilding, reconstruction, alteration or remodeling of any building or premises.
B.
Separation from streets. Off-street parking shall
be separate and distinct from streets and other traveled right-of-way.
C.
Collective provision. The collective provision of
off-street parking areas by two or more buildings or uses located
on adjacent lots is permitted, provided that the total of such facilities
shall not be less than the sum required of the various buildings or
uses computed separately.
D.
Location. Parking areas may be located in any side
or rear yard area, except that parking areas, including driveways,
may not extend into any required buffer strip. Parking areas may not
be located in any required minimum front yard area, except that driveways
leading to parking areas may extend through the required minimum front
yard. When the principal building is set back farther from the street
than the required minimum front yard, the parking area may be located
within the front yard between the required minimum front yard and
said building.
E.
Size of parking space, aisles and roadways.
(1)
A parking space for one passenger automobile shall
accommodate an inscribed rectangle having a minimum length of 20 feet
and a minimum width of 10 feet, with the exception that parking lots
exclusively for the use of employees may have a stall width of nine
feet. Parking spaces abutting a curb need only be 18 feet in length,
provided that a two-foot clear area, in addition to any required sidewalks,
is maintained behind the curb. Aisles for access to parking spaces

F.
Rental space. In any residential zone, a private garage
or parking area may be utilized only as an accessory to the main use,
except that one parking space in a private garage accessory to a dwelling
may be rented to a person who is not a resident of the main building.
G.
Site plan. The establishment of any off-street parking area having a capacity of four or more automobiles shall be subject to the requirements of Chapter 265, Site Plan Review, and provisions of Chapter 294, Article I, Road Acceptance Specifications, whether or not the use to which the parking may be accessory would otherwise require site plan review, except that on a farm, parking areas for farm vehicles shall be permitted without regard to said requirements.
(1)
A site plan shall be filed showing off-street parking facilities required under the provisions of this chapter in connection with the use or uses for which application is being made. Surfacing, landscaping, the location and design of entrances and exits and the marking and lighting of parking areas shall be in accordance with the standards established in Chapter 265, Site Plan Review, and shall be subject to the approval of the Land Use Board to ensure adequate relation to traffic safety and protection of adjacent areas.
(2)
Off-street parking areas which provide parking for 10 or more vehicles shall be provided with shade trees of a type approved by the Land Use Board. The shade trees shall be located in curbed islands in a planned manner in conformance with Chapter 265, Site Plan Review, within the parking lot area, in quantity equal to one shade tree for every 10 parking spaces.
(3)
Not more than two curb openings on any one lot frontage
of 1,500 feet or less shall be permitted, except that for a lot frontage
over 1,500 feet, one additional opening shall be allowed for each
additional 750 feet or less.
H.
Waiver of improvement. Where it is documented to the
satisfaction of the Land Use Board that any of the parking requirements
herein would result in unneeded parking, the requirement for paved
parking area may be reduced. Sufficient area shall be reserved and
graded and drained, however, to meet these requirements in full, and
the Land Use Board may require partial or complete enlargement up
to these standards as conditions indicate such enlargement is warranted,
and upon failure to comply with the request of the Land Use Board
within 120 days the certificate of occupancy shall be revoked.
All uses permitted by this chapter shall provide,
as a minimum, the number of off-street parking spaces specified in
this section. When computation of the number of required parking spaces
based upon this schedule results in a fraction, such fraction shall
be resolved to the next highest whole number. Where more than one
use is involved, the total requirement shall be the sum of the requirements
of the component uses computed separately.

parking spaces shall be provided in accordance with the following
