(1)
Enclosed or open parking facilities, as required,
shall be provided on the same lot as the dwelling unit served.
(2)
The open storage of unregistered vehicles shall be
limited to one vehicle per dwelling, but in no case shall exceed two

[Amended 9-15-2008 by L.L. No. 8-2008; 5-11-2009 by L.L. No.
2-2009]
(3)
In any R District, the open parking of commercial vehicles shall require the issuance of a commercial vehicle permit from the Town Building Inspector, subject to the approval of the Town Planning Board. A commercial vehicle shall be defined as a vehicle that when driven requires a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) issued by New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. In no case shall a commercial vehicle permit be issued when the vehicle is being used in conjunction with a business operation on the same premises, unless the business operation is in compliance with the conditions listed in the Town's Home Occupation regulations. (Refer to Article X.)
[Amended 5-11-2009 by L.L. No. 2-2009]
B.
Commercial districts and uses. Except as otherwise
permitted under site plan or special use permit, the open storage
of unregistered vehicles shall be limited to one per parcel.
[Added 9-15-2008 by L.L. No. 8-2008; amended 5-11-2009 by L.L. No.

C.
Business and industrial districts. In all business
and industrial districts, off-street parking, loading and stacking
facilities shall be provided on the same lot as the principal use
or, with Town Board approval, on another lot zoned business or industrial,
the nearest point of which shall be no greater than 250 feet from
the nearest entrance of the building served.
[Amended 5-21-2018 by L.L. No. 3-2018; 11-7-2022 by L.L. No. 3-2022]
A.
Sufficient parking shall be provided for every use
on a site or a lot. The amount of required parking shall be determined
by the Planning Board in conformity with the requirements of this
article.
B.
For the
Planning Board to make a determination on parking, the applicant and
the Planning Board will utilize the Town's general parking guidelines
document (copy available at the Building Department). The applicant
can also submit additional information such as parking studies, parking
requirements for other similar uses, other sites that it operates,
etc. to help in this determination. In making this determination,
the Planning Board shall not only consider the minimum amount of parking
spaces necessary but also help to ensure that the site is not "overparked."
C.
Public parking facilities available. The parking spaces
required herein may be modified by the Town Board after receiving
a recommendation from the Planning Board where it finds that free
parking areas or publicly owned parking areas are readily accessible
and where land is not available for the development of off-street
parking as required herein or where public transportation is used
extensively.
D.
Parking for single and mixed uses. A building occupied
by one use shall provide the off-street parking spaces as required
for the specific use. A building or group of buildings occupied by
two or more uses operating normally during the same hours shall provide
spaces for not less than the sum of the spaces required for each use.
For large multiple developments of 200,000 square feet of gross floor
area and over, a maximum reduction of one parking space per every
1,000 square feet of gross floor area or 20% of the total spaces required
may be permitted. For the purposes of this subsection, a "multiple
development" shall be defined as four or more offices or commercial
or industrial establishments or enterprises or combinations thereof,
which are located in a single building or in two or more buildings,
developed as part of a single integrated development.
E.
Joint use of parking facilities.
(1)
Churches, civic clubs, community centers, auditoriums,
lodge halls, gymnasiums and stadiums may make arrangements with business
establishments which normally have different hours of operation for
sharing up to, but not more than, 50% of their requirements in nearby
parking areas which are accessory to such business uses; provided,
however, that where there is a sharing of facilities by different
owners or tenants, there shall be an agreement covering a period of
time as may be required by the Town Board; and provided, further,
that should any of the uses be changed or the facilities discontinued,
then the required spaces for the use remaining shall be provided elsewhere
as a condition precedent to the continued use of said building or
buildings.
(2)
Where churches, civic clubs, community centers, auditoriums,
lodge halls, gymnasiums and stadiums share parking facilities with
nearby business establishments, such parking facilities shall be located
within 250 feet from the property line of said use.
