(2) Required off-street parking spaces shall provide vehicle parking only for residents, customers, patrons, and employees and shall not be used for the storage of equipment or materials, or for the sale, repair or servicing of any vehicle;

(3) Any area once designated for required off-street parking shall not be used for any other purpose unless and until equal facilities are provided elsewhere and a site plan has been approved to reflect the change, or the primary use of the property is changed to a use requiring less off-street parking;

(4) The required front yard in the single-family residential districts shall not be used for off-street parking for five or more cars.

On lots with 100 feet of frontage or more, parking may be permitted on circular drives. All primary parking areas and driveways in front yards shall be hard surfaced, except in the R-S-20 and R-S-12 districts, driveways may be of an all-weather surface, provided the first 20 feet from the right-of-way is hard surfaced; and

(5) In the R-2, R-3 and R-4 residential districts off-street parking spaces for multiple-family dwellings shall not be located in the front yard, except that a single two-lane drive may extend through the required front yard, provided no portion of the drive is within 10 feet of a dwelling unit entry nor five feet from any portion of a residential structure.
