Every parcel of land used as a public or private parking lot shall be developed and maintained in accordance with the following requirements:
6.7.1. Surfacing.
Each off-street parking lot shall be surfaced with an asphalt type substance or Portland cement or other binder pavement to provide a dustless surface. The parking area shall be so graded as to dispose of all surface water. If such water is to be carried to adjacent streets it shall be piped under sidewalks.
6.7.2. Screening.
The sides and rear of any off-street parking lot that faces or adjoins a residential district shall be screened from such district by a masonry wall of solid visual barrier fence six (6) feet in height. In the event that the sides of the off-street parking lot must be screened from an adjoining residential district, the fence must not be extended to the point that it obscures the vision of motorists, and it must be in accordance with the Town of Leeds Design and Construction Standards.
6.7.3. Commercial parking lots shall be Xeriscaped and be approved by Town Staff.
Each parking area shall be permanently groomed, maintained, and kept free of weeds.
6.7.4. Lighting.
Lighting used to illuminate any parking lot shall be arranged to reflect the light away from adjoining premises in any residential district, and from street traffic. The lighting must comply with the Leeds Lighting Ordinance.
