§ 23.36.006. Design and maintenance of off-street parking areas.

(1)

DRAINAGE. Driveways shall not exceed a grade of four percent and all parking lots except those for less that four vehicles shall be graded according to a drainage plan which has been approved by the city engineer. Catch basins, sumps and underground storm sewers may be required and all such lots and driveways shall be surfaced with a material to control dust and drainage.

(2)

LIGHTING. Any lighting used to illuminate an off-street parking area shall be shaded or diffused so as to reflect the light away from the adjoining property and away from abutting traffic.

(3)

All off-street parking areas shall be so designed and constructed that no part of any vehicle ever parked therein shall be nearer than one foot from the parking area property line.

(4)

FENCES IN CERTAIN PARKING AREAS. When a required off-street parking area for six cars or more is located adjacent to any "R" district, there shall be constructed and maintained a fence or wall of suitable material six feet in height to capture the vehicles' light beams and muffle the vehicle noise as well as meeting the safety and visibility requirements of Chapter 23.10.
