Marion’s Permeable Surfaces Rules for Off-Street Parking Spaces

Municipal Code 340-8.2 states that all off-street parking spaces, access/service drives and equipment/material storage areas shall be hard-surfaced and maintained to provide a durable pavement surface free of dust, weeds and standing water. Permitted hard-surfaced materials include permeable or porous surfaces, as approved by the Zoning Administrator. Permeable or porous surfaces designed to help mitigate stormwater run-off are encouraged.
