6.41. Uses for which required. Accessory off-street loading berths shall
be provided for any lot for any use specified herein. Any land which
is developed as a unit under single ownership and control shall be
considered a single lot for the purpose of such requirements. Reasonable
and appropriate off-street loading requirements for structures and
uses which do not fall within the categories listed herein shall be
determined by the Planning Board upon consideration of all factors
entering into the loading needs of each use. Off-street loading berths
shall be provided as follows:
a. For a public library, museum, art gallery or similar quasi-public
institution or governmental building, community center, hospital or
sanitarium, nursing or convalescent home, institution for children
or the aged or school: if floor area does not exceed 10,000 square
feet, one berth; for each additional 25,000 square feet or fraction
thereof, one additional berth.
b. For buildings with professional, governmental or business offices
or laboratory establishments: if floor area is less than 8,000 square
feet, none; if floor area amounts to between 8,000 and 25,000 square

thereof up to 100,000 square feet, one additional berth; for each
additional 50,000 square feet or major fraction thereof, one additional

thereof, so used.
6.42. Size of spaces. Except as provided hereinbefore, each required loading
berth shall be at least 12 feet wide and 45 feet long, with a clear
height of 15 feet. The Planning Board may modify the minimum requirements
where necessary to ensure proper circulation and traffic safety or
where such change would not create future difficulties in the event
that the structures or uses are changed to any other use permitted
by right in the district.
6.43. Location and access. Unobstructed access, at least 12 feet wide,
to and from a street shall be provided. Such access may be combined

may be provided in spaces designed to serve jointly two or more adjacent

joint facilities shall not be less than the total required for all
such establishments.
