but shall not be closer than five feet to a side lot line, right-of-way
line or rear lot line.
(2) Off-street parking in the single-family and two-family residence districts is permitted in the street yard in the driveway, even though closer than five feet to a side lot line, provided that the driveway conforms to the requirements in §
520-57.
C. Use restrictions.

kind shall be permitted in association with parking facilities provided
in residence districts.
(2) Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate off-street parking areas

such lighting exceed three footcandles measured at the lot line.
(3) Street setback area. No parking shall be permitted between the street
right-of-way line and the building setback line prevailing in the
