Amend subsection (b) of Section 10-103 as follows:
(b) Yards and Street Areas.
In an SF District, all parking areas and maneuvering areas (including
dead-end or stub driveways) must be behind the principal building or
surrounded by opaque fences or walls at least six feet in height, and all
such areas are prohibited in front yards. Exception: A maneuvering areas
for a site accessible only from a roadway marked for four or more lanes
may be located awe
elsewhere on the building site or adjacent street area, to the extent if
reasonably necessary to provide a turnaround allowing vehicles to leave
and enter the roadway going forward, but restricted as follows: (i) on sites
narrower than 60 feet abutting a residential street, such a maneuvering
area may not be larger than square feet, and it must be made of
pervious material (or pervious pavement) screened from direct views from
passing vehicles; and (ii) on other sites, such a maneuvering area may not
be larger than square feet.
In a non-SF District, no required parking space may be: (1) closer than 10
feet to a street area, except an alley, or (ii) farther than 500 feet (driving
distance) from a street area.
