§ 10.2. Design standards.

The following are the design requirements for off-street parking spaces and driveways; however, additional or different requirements may be contained in a particular district regulation which will control for that district:

1.

Required dimensions for each parking spaces. Each automobile parking space shall be not less than nine feet wide and 18 feet in length. (Driveways shall connect each parking space with a public right-of-way).

2.

Interior driveways. Where 90 degree parking is utilized, all interior driveways shall be a minimum of 24 feet in width. If 60 degree angle parking is used, then interior driveways shall be at least 13 feet in width for one-way traffic and 24 feet in width for two-way traffic. In the instance where parallel parking is utilized or there is no parking, interior driveways shall be a minimum of ten feet in width for one-way traffic and 24 feet in width for two-way traffic. A ten-foot stacking lane is required for drive-up window or pick-up stations. For single-family, off-street parking, a two-track design may be used.

3.

Surfacing, drainage and lighting.

a.

All off-street parking spaces, access and interior driveways will be designed to ensure proper drainage, and surfaced with concrete, asphalt, pavers, pervious concrete, or porous asphalt at least two inches thick, installed on an approved base of five inches minimum and maintained in good condition free of weeds, dust, trash, and debris.

b.

Hardened surface, see definition, may be approved only through a conditional use permit.

c.

If the off-street parking facilities are used at night, they shall be properly illuminated for the safety of pedestrians, vehicles and for security. The lighting shall be designed so as not to reflect onto or cause glare in any adjacent residential district.

4.

Sharing of required off-street parking spaces. One-half of the off-street parking spaces required by a use whose peak attendance will be at night or on Sundays may be shared with a use that will be closed at night or on Sundays. Parking requirements for two or more uses of the same or different types may be satisfied by the allocation of a common or collective parking facility. This facility shall not be less than the sum of the requirements for the individual uses computed separately in accordance with the requirements of the zoning district.

The following are the design requirements for off-street loading stalls:

1.

Required dimensions for each loading stall. Each loading stall shall be a minimum of ten feet wide and 30 feet in length except that for wholesale and industrial use, loading stalls shall be a minimum of ten feet wide and 50 feet in length.

2.

Access. All off-street loading stalls shall have access from an alley, or if there is no alley, from a public or private street.

3.

Surfacing, drainage, and lighting. All off-street loading stalls and access shall be graded to insure proper drainage, surfaced with concrete or asphalt at least two inches thick, installed on an approved base of five inches and maintained in good condition free of weeds, dust, trash and debris. If loading stalls are to be used at night, they shall be properly illuminated for the safety of pedestrians, vehicles and for security. Lighting shall be designed to preclude light spill onto adjacent properties.
