adjacent residential zones from the glare of such illumination and
from that of automobile headlights.
D.
None of the off-street parking facilities that are
required by this section shall be required for any existing building
or use unless such building or use shall be enlarged, rebuilt, reconstructed,
altered or remodeled, in which case such standards shall apply whenever
possible and reasonable.

less than 12 feet in all other zones.
G.
Any person desiring to establish a parking area in
a residence zone shall submit plans showing the location, size, shape,
design, landscape, curb cuts and other features of the parking lot.
The establishment and operation of a restricted parking area in such
parts of any residence district that abuts a business district is
permitted where such areas extend continuously from such business
zone for a distance not to exceed 150 feet. All such parking areas
in all residence zones may then be authorized, subject to the following
conditions:
(1)
All parking areas shall be landscaped and screened,
surfaced and drained.
(2)
No parking areas shall extend into any required front
yard, except for access driveways.

Off-street parking areas shall be effectively screened
on any side which adjoins or faces premises situated in any residential

J.
All driveways to all dwellings shall be paved for
a distance of not less than 20 feet from the curbline.
Subject to the general requirement for off-street
parking, off-street parking space, with proper access from a street,
alley or driveway, shall be provided in all districts in the amounts
indicated below. Such parking space shall be provided on any lot on
which a dwelling is hereafter erected or converted, or, in the case
of any other use, on or near the lot on which any main building is
hereafter erected or converted. Nothing in this section shall be construed
to prevent the collective provisions for off-street parking facilities
for two or more buildings or uses, provided that the total of such
off-street parking facilities provided collectively shall not be less
than the sum of the requirements for the various individual uses computed
separately. In no case shall the number of parking spaces provided,
or the area devoted to parking, be less than the minimum requirements
of this section.

For purposes of this subsection, a “truck”

equipped with a coupling device that enables it to tow a trailer;
a container on wheels that carries materials, goods, or other objects,

For every building or structure, or part thereof,
having over 4,000 square feet of gross floor area erected and occupied
for commerce, hospital, laundry, dry cleaning, places of public and
quasi-public assembly, industry and other similar uses involved in
the receipt and distribution by vehicles of materials or merchandise,
there shall be provided and permanently maintained adequate space
for standing, loading and unloading services in order to avoid undue
interference with the public use of streets or alleys. Every building,
structure or addition thereto having a use which complies with the
above definition shall be provided with at least one loading space.
One additional truck space of these dimensions shall be provided for
every additional 20,000 square feet, or fraction thereof, of gross
area in the building.
Access to truck standing, loading and unloading
space shall be provided directly from a public street or alley or
from any right-of-way that will not interfere with public convenience,
and will permit orderly and safe movement of truck vehicles.
Loading space, as required under this section,
shall be provided in addition to off-street parking space and shall
not be considered as supplying off-street parking space.
