Total berths provided shall meet the requirements based on the sum
of the several types of uses served. (Areas of types of uses may be

No zoning lot served shall be more than 300 feet removed from the
central loading area.

The tunnel or ramp connecting the central loading area with the zoning
lot served shall be not less than seven feet in width and have a clearance

Street setback area. No parking shall be permitted between the street
