B. Village Requirements.
1. On the road systems of Akhiok and Karluk, these parking area development standards do not apply.
2. On the road systems of Larsen Bay and Ouzinkie, an area equivalent to the size of the required parking spaces shall be available but the actual parking area development standards do not apply.
3. On the road systems of Old Harbor and Port Lions, only parking area development standards in subsections C, F, H, I, and J of this section apply.
C. Surfacing and Drainage. Parking areas shall be surfaced and drained so that they are free of mud and standing water, and generate a minimum amount of dust.
D. Screening. All parking areas that adjoin a residential zoning district shall be separated from the residential zoning district along side and rear lot lines by a sight-obscuring four-foot solid or natural barrier.
E. Lighting. Any lighting associated with the parking area or the use it serves shall not produce glare on a public right-of-way or an adjacent residential zoning district.
F. Driveways/Separation.
1. Minimum driveway widths shall be 12 feet for one-way traffic and 24 feet for two-way traffic. Maximum driveway width shall be 32 feet wide.

c. All required handicapped accessible parking spaces shall be designated as reserved by a sign showing the international symbol of accessibility.
d. Handicapped-accessible parking spaces serving a particular building shall be located on the shortest accessible route of travel from adjacent parking to an accessible entrance of the building or use served by the parking. In parking facilities that do not serve a particular building, accessible parking shall be located on the shortest accessible route of travel to an accessible pedestrian entrance of the parking facility. In buildings with multiple accessible entrances with adjacent parking, accessible parking spaces shall be dispersed and located closest to accessible entrances.
e. At least one accessible route not less than 36 inches in width shall be provided within the boundary of the site from handicapped-accessible parking spaces and public streets or sidewalks to an accessible building entrance. Parking spaces and access aisles shall be level with surface slopes not exceeding 1:50 (two percent), which is a one-foot rise or fall in 50 feet in all directions.
2. One in every eight accessible parking spaces, but not less than one, shall be served by an access aisle 96 inches wide (minimum) and shall be designated “van accessible.” Vertical clearance over such a space must be 98 inches (minimum). Two accessible parking spaces may share one access aisle. All accessible spaces will be served by an access aisle no less than 60 inches in width.
3. Voluntary provision of more than the minimum number of required off-street parking does not require provision of additional handicapped parking spaces.
J. Tandem or Stacked Parking Spaces. A tandem or stacked parking space is a space that does not allow a vehicle to be moved without first moving a vehicle in another parking space.
1. The use of tandem parking spaces is only permitted for vehicles and/or equipment for sale or rent, in storage, or awaiting parts.
2. The arrangement of tandem parking spaces is limited to two parking spaces in depth.
3. Patron and customer use spaces may not be designed as tandem parking spaces.
4. The nonresidential land uses permitted to utilize tandem spaces will be limited to those uses that customarily park in this manner, as determined by the community development department. [Ord. 94-26 §3, 1994; Ord. 92-07 §2, 1992; Ord. 90-45 §2, 1991. Formerly §17.57.080].
