(b) Bituminous concrete or Portland cement concrete shall be utilized for all street improvements and widening and shall be designed and installed subject to the approval of the city engineer according to the street classification and use. All parking facilities shall be paved with bituminous concrete or Portland cement concrete. The city engineer may require paving surfaces and/or construction techniques which minimize surface storm runoff in areas where it is deemed necessary. The developer may select precast interlocking blocks, porous-type asphalt paving, detention basins, or other methods approved by the city engineer. All drainage calculations for parking areas shall utilize, as a minimum, storm water runoff co-efficients for the parking lot as if paved in its entirety with nonporous bituminous concrete. In M-1 and M-2 industrial zones, storage lots and service areas away from street frontage will not require paving or sealing, as long as same do not result in dust, dirt, sand, gravel and similar materials being deposited or tracked on public streets or rights-of-way. The improvements to parking facilities in this Article may be phased in in accordance with the schedule of improvements approved by the city engineer after considering the proposed use of the parking facility including the anticipated number of persons utilizing the area during the period of construction of the parking facility. Section 32-272. Parking lot nuisances; remedies. (a) Ail parking lots shall be designed, constructed and maintained in such a manner that dust, dirt, sand, gravel and similar materials will not be deposited on public streets or rights-of-way. The owner or occupant of any land within the city in which a parking lot exists shall be responsible for cleanup operations. (b) The depositing and tracking of dust, dirt, sand, gravel and similar materials from a parking lot shall be unlawful and shall also constitute a nuisance. Whenever it is determined by the City that such a nuisance exists, the owner or occupant of the site shall be given notice in writing of the existence of the nuisance, and if the nuisance is not abated within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the written notice, the city may cause the nuisance to be abated and bill the owner or occupant thereof for all costs incurred thereby. In addition, the city engineer may require that unimproved or graveled lots be promptly sealed with bituminous concrete, Portland cement concrete or bituminous surface treatment (double prime and seal), or be modified at the expense of the owner or occupant as may be necessary to assure elimination of the nuisance. The same requirement may also be imposed on parking lots with paved surfaces which have become neglected or not maintained, thus causing the nuisance.
