Every off-street parking area, every off-street loading or unloading area, and every
storage, sale, rental or service area for any type of mobile equipment, goods, materials
or objects shall be surfaced with hard, durable, plant-mix asphaltic paving at least
two inches thick after compaction and four inches of aggregate base material or with
Portland cement concrete paving at least three inches thick. Alternative hard surface
materials, which in the opinion of the city engineer are of equal durability to asphalt/concrete
may be approved by the city. All such areas shall be surfaced and graded as approved
by the city engineer in such a manner as to provide the site with adequate drainage.
No building permit shall be issued for any building with an accompanying parking or
service area unless the surfacing and drainage plans for such areas have been approved
by the city engineer.
