108-8-12 Regulations Governing Accessory Vehicle Off-Street Parking Within Required Side Yard Areas

One concrete or asphalt slab for the purpose of providing additional off-street parking may be constructed in one required side yard of a dwelling provided that: The dwelling unit has the minimum number of required off-street parking spaces as stipulated by section 108-8-2. The slab is at least eight feet wide and is of sufficient length to accommodate the vehicle with no portion of the vehicle extending forward of the front face of the dwelling. The appurtenant driveway to the slab must be tapered to use the existing driveway approach or a new approach must be installed for the new driveway. Covered parking structures may be allowed where setback and height standards are met. Parking in required side yards shall be on a durable surface such as concrete, asphalt, gravel, or similar material capable of supporting vehicle loads and preventing drainage impacts. Screening may be required where necessary to reduce impacts to adjoining properties. All stormwater run off from the hard surface of slab must be directed so as to prevent drainage onto adjacent properties.
