Editor's Note: This article contains original Secs. 63-06(8)
and 63-06(9), as well as the subsections pertaining to off-street
parking that originally appeared in Secs. 63-05(4) through 63-05(10).
A.
Requirements not specified. Parking requirements for
a use not specified shall be the same as required for a use of similar
nature, or sufficient off-street parking shall be provided such that
no public street shall be used for parking.
B.
Fractional spaces. Where computation of the required
parking spaces results in a fractional number, only the fraction of
1/2 or larger shall be counted as one.
C.
Changes in buildings or use. Whenever a building or
use is changed, structurally altered or enlarged to create a need
for an increase of 25% or more in the number of existing parking spaces,
such spaces shall be provided on the basis of the enlargement or change.
Whenever a building or use is enlarged to the extent of 50% or more
in floor area, said building or use shall then comply with the parking
requirements set forth in the district in which it is located.
D.
Mixed uses. In the case of mixed uses, the parking
spaces required shall equal the sum of the requirements of the uses
computed separately.
E.
Joint use. Two or more uses may provide required off-street
parking spaces in a common parking facility less than the sum of the
spaces required for each use individually, provided such uses are
not operating during the same hours. A written agreement shall accompany
any joint use arrangement.
F.
Off-lot parking. Required off-street parking spaces
shall be located on the same lot with the principal use or, when this
requirement cannot be met, such parking spaces may be located off
lot, provided the parking spaces are located in the same district.
Off-lot parking spaces must also be held in fee simple ownership by
the owner of the use requiring such parking or be leased or rented
through a written agreement. Off-lot parking spaces for residential
uses shall be within 200 feet of the principal entrance or the entrance
for the individual occupants for whom the spaces are reserved, while
the farthest portions of a parking lot for all other uses shall be
within 300 feet of the entrance of the establishment.
G.
Off-street parking measurement. Floor space or area
shall mean the gross floor area inside exterior walls, where floor
space is indicated on the Schedule of District Regulations as a basis
for determining the amount of off-street parking required.
H.
Design standards. Each required off-street parking
space shall have a stall width of at least nine feet and have a stall
length of at least 18 feet. Minimum width of aisles providing access
to stalls for one-way traffic shall be as follows: 11 feet for thirty-degree
parking; and 20 feet for ninety-degree parking. Minimum width of aisles
providing access to stalls for two-way traffic shall be 24 feet. No
parking area of more than four spaces shall be designed as to require
any vehicle to back into a public street. Any parking area of more
than five spaces shall be sufficiently screened in the former of a
solid fence or shrubbery to protect any adjacent residential uses.
Large expanses of unchanneled parking areas shall be avoided by interior
landscaping and safety islands. All parking areas shall be surfaced
with a durable, dustproof surface consisting of concrete or bituminous
concrete or of compacting gravel or crushed stone properly sealed
and surface treated.
A.

specified in the following table shall apply to all districts:

B.
Multiple or mixes uses. Where a building is devoted
to more than one use or for different uses, and where the floor area
for each use is below the minimum required for a loading space but
the aggregate floor area of such uses is above such a minimum, then
off-street loading space shall be provided as if the entire building
were devoted to that use in the building for which the most loading
spaces are required.
C.
Location. Required off-street loading spaces shall
be located on the same lot with the principal use requiring such space.
No loading space shall be located within 30 feet of the nearest point
of intersection of two streets or require any vehicle to back into
a public street.
D.
Design standards. Each off-street loading space shall
have a width of at least 12 feet, a length of at least 45 feet, and
a vertical clearance of at least 14 feet. Dimensions for loading spaces
in connection with funeral homes shall be reduced to 10 feet in width,
25 feet in length, and eight feet in vertical clearance. Every loading

or shrubbery to protect any neighboring residence.
