B.
Multiple or mixed uses. Where a building is devoted

(1)
Each zoning lot served shall have direct access to
the central loading area without crossing streets or alleys at grade.

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 totaled before computing the number of loading berths.)
(3)
No zoning lot served shall be more than 300 feet removed
from the central loading area.
(4)
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 of not less than seven feet.
All new parking lots and all alterations of
existing lots shall be subject to the approval of the Village Board,
after a recommendation from the Plan Commission. Requests for said
parking lots shall be accompanied with detailed plans on landscaping,

off-street parking stalls for all vehicles in accordance with the
following:
A.
Access. Adequate access to a public street shall be
provided for each parking space.
B.
Design standards. Each required off-street parking
space shall be not less than 180 square feet. No parking area of more

fence is provided along the interior lot line, the minimum setback
for the parking area shall be five feet from said lot line. Said fence

the lot line.
(4)
Street setback area. No parking shall be permitted
between the street right-of-way line and the building setback line
prevailing in the zone in which the proposed parking area is to be
located. The resulting open area shall be planted in grass or otherwise
