A.
Off-street parking spaces shall be required for all
buildings constructed, extended or enlarged in use after the effective
date of this chapter.
B.
Each off-street space shall consist of 162 square
feet in a space nine feet wide by 18 feet wide. Each parking space
shall be reached by an access driveway at least 24 feet in width.
In addition, space necessary for aisles, maneuvering, safe pedestrian
walkways and drives shall be provided. Handicapped parking spaces
shall be supplied in accordance with the requirements of the Americans
With Disabilities Act
For any building or parcel having more than
one use, cumulative parking space shall be required as provided for
each use, except as follows:
A.
In general, parking shall be provided on the same
lot as the principal use. However, parking may be provided on a separate
lot or tax parcel that is within 300 feet of the principal use, provided
that the two lots are under the same ownership and there are covenants
which tie the two lots together.
B.
In any district, the Planning Board may, at its sole
discretion, approve the joint use of a parking facility and a reduction
in the parking requirement of up to 30% by two or more principal buildings
or uses, either on the same, adjacent or nearby parcels, where it
is clearly demonstrated that the reduction in spaces and shared use
of the parking facility will substantially meet the intent of the
parking requirements by reason of variation in time of use by patrons
or employees among such establishments. There shall be a covenant
on the separate parcel or lot guaranteeing the maintenance of the
required off-street parking facilities during the existence of the
principal use. Such covenant shall:
(1)
Be executed by the owner of said lot or parcel of
land and the parties having beneficial use thereof;
(2)
Be enforceable by either of the parties having beneficial
use thereof as both; and
(3)
Be enforceable against the owner, the parties having
beneficial use, and their heirs, successors and assigns.
C.
Floor areas, for the purposes of computing parking
requirements, shall be the sum of the horizontal area within the exterior
walls of the several floors of a building, excluding basement, cellar
and attic areas used primarily for storage or service.
E.
The Planning Board shall, however, have the authority
to require or permit fewer than the required parking spaces for any
use, provided that an amount of open space equal to that amount of
space that would have been used for the required number of parking
spaces is left available for parking in the event that it is needed
at some time in the future. Open space used for this purpose shall
not be used to meet any other requirements of this chapter, including
lot coverage requirements.
F.
When a change in the intensity of use of any building
or structure would increase the required parking by 10 or more spaces,
cumulatively from the date of enactment of this section, through an
addition or change in the number of dwelling units, gross floor area,
gross leasable area, seating capacity, or other units of measurement
specified herein, the increment of additional required parking shall
be provided in accordance with this section, unless a waiver is granted
by the Planning Board. If fewer than 10 spaces are required by a change
or a series of changes in use, the requirement for such space shall
be waived.
G.
No use may provide parking in excess of 20% over the
amount specified in this section.
The following schedule sets forth off-street
parking requirements. For uses not listed, the Planning Board shall
have the discretion to determine the parking requirement.
