All parking lots shall be surfaced with Portland cement concrete
or asphaltic concrete placed upon a suitable base and built to a

marking which will meet the standards established by the Planning
Commission. The minimum size for parking spaces to be used in
connection with any residential occupancy shall be ten (10) feet
wide and twenty (20) feet long when measured at right angles to
the axis of the vehicle occupying the same. All other parking
spaces may be reduced to a minimum of 8.5 feet measured in the
same manner. Every parking space used for a residential occupancy
shall have to its rear, and immediately contiguous thereto, a
space twenty-five (25) feet long and ten (10) feet wide which is
kept free and clear of obstructions of every kind at all times.
Driveways to service parking spaces may occupy a portion or all
of this clear space. The Commission shall have authority to waive
any of the above requirements if in its opinion such item is in-
appropriate or unnecessary.

(3) CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY
If occupancy of a building or site changes from one use to
another, then the new use shall meet the parking standard required
for it in this ordinance.
The parking requirements set forth in this ordinance are
cumulative as to anyone site; that is, if more than one use occurs
on any building site, then each such use shall meet the parking
requirements set forth in this ordinance. The parking requirement
for one use may not be used to satisfy the parking requirements of
another use on the same site.
( 4) COVERAGE
Irrespective of any of the other prov1s1ons of this section
the requirement for open space and parking space on any building
site shall not exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the gross
area of said site.
(5) OTHER REQUIREMENTS
For any use which is not specifically listed under these regu-
lations, the Commission shall in each case determine the parking
requirement for such use at the time approval is given to plans under
this section.
III. In case the Director of Public Works has doubts as to whether
the application should be approved, he may refer said application
to the Planning Commission which shall hear the matter upon the
same notice and proceedings as are required in an original appli-
cation to the Commission for a use permit under Section No. 16
of said Ordinance No. 422, and an appeal may be taken from the
decision of the Planning Commission to the Council by any person
who is dissatisfied with such decision upon the same procedure
and within the time specified in Section 15 of said Ordinance No.
422.
In cases where the regulations specified in this Ordinance
for an "sq District differ from or conflict with the regulations
specified in Ordinance No. 422 for the district with which an uS.
District is combined, the regulations for the "S" District shall
preva i1.
SECTION 3.
"s" Districts and the boundaries thereof and modifications or
changes therein shall be established and made by ordinance of the
Council adopted by the same procedure as is provided for in Section
17 of Ordinance No. 422 for amending said Ordinance No. 422.
When an "S" District is established its boundaries and area shall
be designated by an appropriate color on the District Map and said
area shall be distinguished by the use of the Symbol .S" following
the letter representing the basic district with which the ItS!
District is combined; thus the area formed by an "s" District in
a part of a tIC" District shall be designated by the symbols "C-SIt.
