• (a) Minimum size. Each parking space shall contain an area of not less than 162 square feet for the parking of one vehicle, exclusive of necessary drives or aisles. In allocating space for off-street parking, each parking space shall measure no less than nine feet by 18 feet. Minimum aisle widths shall be as follows:

  90 degree angle parking	24 feet (one-way and two-way traffic)
  60 degree angle parking	23 feet (two-way traffic)
  	18 feet (one-way traffic)
  45 degree angle parking	21 feet (two-way traffic)
  	13 feet (one-way traffic)
  30 degree angle parking	20 feet (two-way traffic)
  	11 feet (one-way traffic)
  0 degree angle parking	20 feet (two-way traffic)
  	13 feet (one-way traffic)

• (b) Individual parking spaces shall be clearly defined, and permanently marked and maintained on the parking surface with painted lines, or other means acceptable to the zoning officer, and directional arrows and traffic signs shall be provided as necessary for traffic control. A driveway may be considered a required parking space only for detached one- and two-family dwellings and need not contain painted lines.

• (c) Pervious parking surfaces shall be allowed in environmentally sensitive areas, subject to the approval of the zoning officer, in consultation with the director of planning and the city engineer/deputy director of public works.
