    Striping_Detail.png

    For all occupancies other than residential, the parking spaces shall be marked with double striping on each side of the space to identify and facilitate their use. All striping shall be of a color (typically white) contrasting with the pavement. Dimension requirements, as noted elsewhere, shall be measured to the center point of the double stripe, as shown on the "Striping Detail" hereby incorporated as part of this section. Notwithstanding the above provisions and striping details, where striping is required for residential users, not less than a single four-inch stripe shall be provided, with parking stall dimensions to be measured to the center line of the strip. In all instances, adequate interior driveways and ingress and egress driveways shall be provided to connect all parking spaces with a public right-of-way or alley. Where a parking space heads into and abuts a walkway, the paved eighteen-foot length shall be provided a wheel stop or curb at sixteen (16) feet in order to prevent extension of the vehicle over any portion of the provided walkway width. Required and surplus parking shall comply with these provisions and such parking shall not be placed in dedicated or official rights-of-way.
