No off-street parking or loading space shall be located, either in whole or in part, within any fire lane required by ordinance of the city or within aisles, driveways, or maneuvering areas necessary to provide reasonable access to any parking space.

No required off-street commercial parking facility or loading space shall be used for sales, nonvehicular storage, repair, or service activities.

Loading spaces shall be provided in accordance with the following schedule:

Where adjacent to residential uses or zoning districts, off-street loading areas shall meet the screening requirements of Section 27.8 [Section 27.6].

Loading docks for establishments that customarily receive goods between the hours of 7:00 p.m. through 7:00 a.m. and are adjacent to a residential zoning district shall be designed and constructed so as to fully enclose the loading operation, in order to reduce the effects of the noise of the operation on adjacent residential zoning districts.
