in the area bounded by the street lines of such corner lots and a

No zoning lot served shall be more than 300 feet removed from the
central loading area.
(4)
The tunnel or ramp connecting the central loading area to the zoning
lot served shall be not less than seven feet in width and have a clearance

wide for ninety-degree parking, 18 feet wide for sixty-degree parking,
15 feet wide for forty-five-degree parking (the angle shall be measured
between the center line of the parking space and the center line of
the aisle), and 12 feet wide for parallel parking. For parallel parking,
the minimum length of the parking space shall be increased to 23 feet.
No parking area of more than two spaces shall be designed so as to
require any vehicle to back into a public street.
C.
Location.[1]

Off-street parking in the single-family and two-family residential districts is permitted in the front yard in the driveway, even though closer than five feet to a side lot line, provided that the driveway conforms to the requirements in Chapter 455 of this Code. Parking stalls for single- and two-family residences may be placed one behind the other.
D.
Surfacing. All open off-street parking areas, except a parking space
accessory to a single-family dwelling, shall be surfaced with a dustless,
all-weather material capable of carrying a wheel load of 4,000 pounds.
