§ 3312.43. Required surface for parking.

The surface of any parking area; including but not limited to a parking, loading or stacking space; circulation area; aisle or driveway shall be designed to control storm water runoff and be improved with Portland cement, asphaltic concrete or other approved hard surface other than gravel or loose fill. Applicants are encouraged to consider use of permeable surfaces as a means of reducing storm water runoff. Applicants may also consider lighter color finishes for surface materials, which reflect solar energy and minimize heat islands. Hard surface materials other than concrete and asphalt may be permitted and are subject to additional review and prior approval by relevant departments and divisions. This section is intended to apply to any parking, loading, stacking or maneuvering area regardless of whether such area is required.

Exception: The director may waive the hard surface requirement for a use located in a manufacturing district when the proposed parking space is located at least 400 feet from any residential district.
