(b)
Areas computed as parking spaces. Areas which may be computed as open or enclosed off-street parking spaces include any private garage, carport or other area available for parking other than a street or a driveway. However, a driveway within a required front yard for a one-family or two-family residence may count as one parking space, other than on a corner lot as provided in § 250-28B.
(c)
Size of spaces. Two hundred seventy square feet shall be considered
one parking space to provide room for standing area and aisles for
maneuvering. Entrance and exit lanes shall not be computed as parking
spaces, except for driveways for one-family and two-family residences
as set forth in Subsection A(2). Minimum parking stall width shall
be nine feet; minimum length shall be 19 feet.
[Amended 12-13-2021 by L.L. No. 16-2021]

Such access shall consist of at least one twelve-foot lane for parking

lanes for parking areas with 20 spaces or more. No entrance or exit
for any off-street parking area shall be located within 50 feet of
a street intersection.
(e)
Lighting, drainage and surfacing. All open parking areas shall
be properly drained and lit, and all such areas shall be provided
with a paved surface, except for parking spaces accessory to a one-family
or two-family residence. The Planning Board may waive the requirement
that a parking area be provided with a paved surface if it is deemed
appropriate for the subject use and location.
(f)
Joint facilities. Required parking spaces, open or enclosed,
may be provided in spaces designed to serve jointly two or more establishments,
whether or not located on the lot, provided that the number of required
spaces in such joint facilities shall be not less than the total required
for all such establishments.
(g)
Combined spaces. When any lot contains two or more uses having
different parking requirements, the parking requirements for each
use shall apply to the extent of that use. Where it can be conclusively
demonstrated that one or more such uses will be generating a demand
for parking spaces primarily during periods when the other use or
uses is not or are not in operation, the Planning Board may reduce
the total parking spaces required for that use with the least requirement.
[Amended 5-7-2018 by L.L.
No. 1-2018]
(h)
Location and ownership. Required accessory parking spaces, open
or enclosed, shall be provided upon the same lot as the use to which
they are accessory or elsewhere, provided that all spaces therein
are located within 300 feet walking distance of such lot. In all cases,
such parking spaces shall conform to all the regulations of the district
in which the parking spaces are located and in no event shall such
parking spaces be located in any residence district unless the use
to which the spaces are accessory is permitted in such residence districts,
or upon approval by the Planning Board. Such spaces shall be in the
same ownership as the use to which they are accessory and shall be
subject to deed restrictions, approved by the Planning Board, binding
the owner and his heirs and assigns to maintain the required number
of spaces available either throughout the existence of such use to
which they are accessory or until such spaces are provided elsewhere.
(i)
Lots divided by district boundaries. When a parking lot is located
partly in one district and partly in another district, the regulations
for the district requiring the greater number of parking spaces shall
apply to all of the lot. Parking spaces on such a lot may be located
without regard to district lines, provided that no such parking spaces
shall be located in any residence district unless the use to which
they are accessory is permitted in such district, or upon approval
of the Planning Board.
(2)
Off-street requirements. Off-street loading berths, open or enclosed,
are permitted accessory to any use, except one- or two-family residences,
subject to the following provisions:
(a)

thereof so used.
(b)

12 feet wide, 33 feet long and 14 feet high.
(c)
Location and access. Unobstructed access at least 12 feet wide,

with access to a parking lot. All permitted or required loading berths
shall be on the same lot as the use to which they are accessory, except
as provided in Subsection B(4). No entrance or exit for any off-street
parking area shall be located within 50 feet of a street intersection.
No off-street loading berth shall be located in any front yard.
(d)
Joint facilities. Permitted or required loading berths, open
or enclosed, may be provided in spaces designed to serve jointly two
or more adjacent establishments, provided that the number of required
berths in such joint facilities shall not be less than the total required
for all such requirements.
(e)
Lots divided by district boundaries. When a lot is located partly
in one district and partly in another district, the regulations for
the district requiring the greater number of loading berths shall
apply to all of the lot. Loading berths on such a lot may not be located
in any residence district unless the use to which they are accessory
is permitted in such district, or upon approval by the Planning Board.
(3)
Parking regulations in multiple residence districts. In multiple
residence districts, wherever space is provided for the parking of
five or more vehicles in the open, such spaces shall be individually
identified by means of pavement markings. No parking space shall be
located in any front yard or within 10 feet of any lot line in side
or rear yards. The parking of motor vehicles is prohibited within
15 feet of any wall or portion thereof of a two-or-more-family dwelling,
which wall contains windows or other than legal bathroom or kitchen
windows with a sill height of less than eight feet above the level
of said parking space. No service of any kind shall be permitted to
be extended to users of the lot, including automobile service, repair
or fueling, and no gasoline, oil, grease or other supplies shall be
stored or sold in any such lot or in any garage on such lot. Parking
areas shall be screened by a substantial wall, fence or thick hedge
with a height of not less than 6 1/2 feet and approved by the
Planning Board.
(4)
Regulations for parking spaces adjacent to lots in any residence
districts.

Wherever a parking area of over five spaces abuts the side or
rear lot line of a lot in any residence district, said parking lot
shall be screened from such adjoining lot by a substantial wall, fence
or thick hedge at least 6 1/2 feet high and approved by the Planning
Board.
(b)
Whenever a parking area of over five spaces is located across
the street from other land in any residence district, it shall be
screened from the view of such land by a thick hedge, wall or fence,
approved by the Planning Board, located along a line drawn parallel
to the street and a distance of 20 feet therefrom, such screening
to be interrupted only at points of ingress and egress. The open area
between such screening and the street shall be landscaped in harmony
with the landscaping prevailing on neighboring properties fronting
on the same street. Two identification and directional signs located
on the street side of such screening shall be permitted; however,
they shall not exceed an area of three square feet each.
