  § 10-1006. Parking area surfaces.  

Latest version.

  • A.

    Parking areas that include lanes for drive-in windows or contain parking areas that are required to have more than twenty (20) parking spaces and that are used regularly for at least five (5) days per week shall be graded and surfaced with asphalt, concrete or other material that will provide equivalent protection against potholes, erosion, and dust.

    B.

    Parking areas that are not provided with the type of surface specified in subsection A. of this section shall be graded and surfaced with crushed stone, gravel, crushed shell or other suitable material to provide a surface that is stable, and will help to reduce dust and erosion, and will reduce the impervious character of the surface. The perimeter of such parking areas shall be defined by bricks, stones, railroad ties, or other similar devices as approved by the zoning administrator. In addition, whenever such a parking area abuts a paved public street, the driveway leading from such street to such area (or, if there is no driveway, the portion of the parking area that opens onto such streets), shall be paved as provided in subsection A. of this section for a minimum distance of fifteen (15) feet back from the edge of such street subject to any requirements of the Virginia Department of Transportation. This subsection shall not apply to single-family or two-family residences.

    C.

    Parking areas and spaces in areas surfaced in accordance with subsection A. of this section shall be appropriately delineated with painted lines or other safety markings.

    D.

    Parking areas shall be properly maintained in all respects. In particular, and without limiting the foregoing, parking area surfaces shall be kept in good repair and condition allowing the unimpeded movement of vehicles and parking space lines or markings shall be kept clearly visible and distinct.

    E.

    Consideration should be given to providing for heavy vehicular use areas (i.e., maintenance, garbage collection, deliveries, etc.) whereby reinforced surfaces are used in the vehicle movement areas to prevent surface/structural failure or damage of parking or movement areas. (7-7-05.)
