[R.O. 2011 § 400.390; Ord. No.
1161 § 1, 11-18-2013]
A.
A building permit is required for grading and stormwater runoff for
construction of a new, enlarged or remodeled parking lot in excess
of five (5) parking spaces or a loading facility. The application

and approved, if appropriate, by the City Engineer. Any deviation
from the approved plan shall constitute a violation of this Article.
Except for uses in the Old Town Districts, all parking shall comply
with the following requirements:
1.
Stormwater Management. Parking and loading facilities shall
be provided with adequate stormwater drainage facilities to prevent
damage or inconvenience to abutting property and/or public streets

Engineer in relation to specific site conditions or type of development.
3.

by durable painted lines at least four (4) inches wide and extending

shall be used as necessary to ensure efficient and safe traffic operation
of the lot.

be used for any other storage or parking purpose.
9.
Driveways leading to a parking lot shall not be used for parking.

and approved ingress and egress are properly installed.
[R.O. 2011 § 400.400; Ord. No.

2.
Off-street parking areas in all zoning districts shall provide
ingress and egress to any public right-of-way only at such locations
as approved by the City.

No parking space required or otherwise provided in an enclosed
structure shall project beyond any required yard, setback or building
line.
5.
A stall dimension of eight and one-half (8 1/2) feet by
eighteen (18) feet [arranged at ninety degrees (90°)] may be permitted
for off-street parking stalls provided in excess of the minimum requirements
as set forth in this Section when designated for compact car use.
6.
On-site parallel parking stalls shall be nine (9) feet by twenty-three

one-way lane.
7.
Access aisles in parking lots must be at least twenty-two (22)
feet wide for two-way traffic (twenty-four-foot round radii), and
fourteen (14) feet wide for one-way traffic. One-way traffic aisles
must be clearly marked with directional arrows on the pavement at
each intersection with another aisle.
8.
All areas for off-street parking, excluding those of single-family
and duplex residences, shall be so arranged that vehicles can turn
around within the area and enter the street or roadway in such a manner
so as to completely eliminate the necessity for backing into the street
or roadway.
9.
Any lights used to illuminate the parking area shall be arranged,
located or screened to direct light away from any adjoining residential
use. Lighting standards shall in no event exceed sixteen (16) feet
in height.

shall utilize permeable pavement as approved by the Administrative
Official.

Table 1.1 provides the required parking and drive aisle dimensions
