Figure 9.2751(8)) (11)Alley Access Lots/Parcels. Alley access parcels shall be subject to the provisions of this section for all yards, including the yard adjacent to the property line separating the alley access parcel from the original parent parcel. Alley access parcels have only interior yard setbacks. There are no front yard setbacks since there is no frontage on a street. (See EC 9.2751(18) for Alley Access Lot Standards within the city-recognized boundaries of the Amazon Neighbors, Fairmount Neighbors and South University Neighborhood Association.) (15) Driveways and Parking Areas. (a) R-1 Zone. Within the city-recognized boundaries of the Amazon Neighbors, Fairmount Neighbors and South University Neighborhood Association, the following standards apply when a new dwelling or a new parking area serving residential uses is created in the R-1 zone, except for alley access lots, flag lots, and lots on the east side of Fairmount Boulevard: 1. A lot shall have no more than one driveway accessed from a street. 2. The total number of parking spaces shall be limited to 2 per lot, not including parking within a garage. 3. The driveway and associated parking shall be perpendicular to the street. 4. A driveway and associated parking area shall not exceed 22 feet in width by 18 feet in depth for side by side parking spaces, or 12 feet in width by 33 feet in depth for tandem parking spaces. 5. Driveways and associated parking spaces shall be hard-surfaced with asphalt, concrete, pavers or grass-crete. No parking shall be allowed outside of the hard-surfaced area. (b) R-3 and R-4 Zones. Except for development subject to the Multi-Family Development standards at EC 9.5500 and development authorized through a planned unit development approved prior to June 15, 2012, the following standards apply when a new dwelling or new parking area serving residential uses is created in the R-3 or R-4 zones. 1. Except for corner lots, a lot may have no more than one driveway accessed from a street. For corner lots, one driveway on each street frontage may be provided if allowed per EC 9.6735. 2. Abutting lots may share a driveway provided such a driveway is allowed under Chapter 7 of this code. When shared driveways are provided, no additional driveways are permitted on that street frontage for either lot sharing the driveway. 3. Except for a driveway and associated parking area shared by two adjoining lots (“shared driveway”), no driveway or associated parking area shall be located in the interior yard setback adjacent to a property line, except in an interior yard setback that is adjacent only to an alley. 4. Consistent with the standards in this subsection, a driveway and associated parking area may be located between any structure and the street or alley. 5.
