A.
There shall be provided in all districts at the time of erection
or enlargement of any main building or structure, off-street parking
space with adequate access to all spaces. The number of off-street
parking spaces, in conjunction with all land or building use, shall
be determined prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy
as prescribed in this chapter.
B.
Application for parking lot construction. Any person desiring to
establish or change a parking area shall submit plans to the Zoning
Administrator showing the locations, elevations, design, size, shape,
landscaping, surfacing, marking, lighting, drainage, curb cuts, entrances,
exits, and any other features of the parking lot. Proposed curb cuts,
entrances, exits, and drainage involving County or State highways
shall be submitted to the appropriate agency for approval.

for a similar new building or new use.
E.
Two or more buildings or uses may collectively provide for required
off-street parking in which case the number of parking spaces shall
not be less than the sum of the requirements for the several individual
uses computed separately. In the instance of dual function off-street
parking spaces where operating hours of buildings do not overlap,
the Board of Appeals may grant a variance.
F.
The placement of materials, merchandise, motor vehicles, trucks,
trailers, recreational vehicles or equipment in the designated off-street

including the storage of such items, is prohibited, except as otherwise
provided in this chapter.
G.
For uses not specifically mentioned, requirements for off-street
parking facilities shall be in accord with similar uses.
H.
When units or measurements determining the number of required parking
spaces result in the requirement of a fractional space, any fraction
up to and including 1/2 shall be disregarded and fractions over 1/2
shall require one parking space.
I.
For the purpose of computing the number of parking spaces required, the definition of "usable floor area" in Article II shall govern. In those instances where floor area cannot be computed from plans, 75% of gross floor area shall be considered usable floor area.

For all buildings in a residential district, the required parking
area shall be provided on the same lot with the buildings or on a
lot immediately adjacent under the same ownership.

driveway or defined parking area shall not exceed 35% of the front
yard. The parking area shall be paved with concrete, asphalt, stone,
or gravel. In those instances where stone or gravel is utilized, a
compacted depth of stone or gravel not less than three inches thick
shall be provided and maintained.

in a stacking configuration in a driveway or garage or combination
thereof.

residence, (2) a residential district, or (3) a street, with an ornamental
fence or compact hedge which shall not be less than four feet high
and, of a type which will obscure vision at all seasons from adjoining
premises, except where it may block clear vision for traffic movement
it shall be 30 inches in height.
N.
No commercial repair work or commercial servicing of any kind shall
be conducted in parking areas in residential districts. A resident
may repair his/her vehicles on the property of the resident's
dwelling unit, but no others, and such repair shall be conducted in
not to exceed seven consecutive days in any thirty-day period.
O.
A resident of a dwelling unit may have not more than one motorized
vehicle for sale on the site of such dwelling unit at any time and

be displayed in a front yard other than on the driveway portion of
the yard.
