2.
Surfacing and Curbing.
(a)
All parking and loading areas and access drives shall be paved as determined by the Borough Engineer and Board and approved as part of the plan approval. All parking areas, regardless of size and location, shall be suitably drained and maintained.
(b)
All off-street parking and loading areas shall be provided with curbing or curb stops so that vehicles cannot be driven onto required perimeter landscaped areas, buffer zones and street rights-of-way and so that each parking and loading area has controlled entrances and exits and drainage control. Curbing or wheel stops shall be located to prevent any part of a vehicle from overhanging internal sidewalks or landscaped areas. Parking and loading spaces shall not be an extension of any street right-of-way.
3.
Location of Parking Spaces. All required off-street parking spaces shall be located on the same lot or premises as the use served, except that in cases when it is determined during the site plan review, that the requirements for on-site parking cannot be met because of existing conditions, the location and adequacy of off-site parking spaces to service the use shall be specified on the site plan for approval by the Planning Board.
4.
Type of Facility. Parking spaces may be on or below the surface of the ground. When parking spaces are provided within a garage or other structure, the structure shall adhere to the proper accessory or principal building setbacks as applicable.
5.
Location of parking areas, when not otherwise specified, is subject to site plan approval. The provisions of parking and loading spaces shall also include adequate driveway and necessary turning areas for handling the vehicles for which provision is made. Aisles providing access to parking spaces shall have the following minimum dimensions. Where the angle of parking is different on both sides of the aisle, the larger aisle width shall prevail.
Angle of Parking Space | For Parking Spaces Nine (9) Feet Wide | For Parking Spaces Ten (10) Feet Wide | ||
