Permit required for temporary portable storage units on private property. A temporary portable storage unit (PODS) not exceeding eight feet in height, eight feet in width and 16 feet in length can be utilized on private property only for a limited purpose. The limited purpose is the temporary storage of furniture, clothing or other household belongings, coming from or to a structure on the property that is being renovated or sold. A permit from the Construction Official is required before locating a unit on private property. The fee is $150 per unit, payable upon issuance of a building permit, for a ninety-day time period when a building permit issues but $50 per unit for only 30 days if no building permit issues. After the initial thirty-day period and upon inspection by the Construction Official, an additional thirty-day permit extension, in extraordinary circumstances, may be granted for an additional fee of $25 per unit. The permit will require that the location of the unit be nonobstructive to traffic and be in an area not unnecessarily disruptive of the residential character of the neighborhood and not in the front yard area, except driveways.

Schedule of requirements. Accessory off-street parking spaces, open or enclosed, shall be provided for any lot as specified in Article X, Zone Bulk and Parking Regulations, and as specified below for each use in any zone. Any land which is developed as a unit under single ownership and control shall be considered a single lot for the purpose of these regulations.

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 residence may count as one parking space, other than a corner lot as provided in § 275-44.

Location and ownership of required accessory parking facilities. Required accessory parking spaces, open or enclosed, must be provided upon the same lot as the use for which they are required. The Planning Board may waive parking requirements when, in the opinion of the Board, the use is adequately served by municipal off-street parking facilities.

Size of spaces. Three hundred square feet shall be considered one parking space to provide room for standing area and aisles for maneuvering. Entrance and exit roadways shall not be computed as parking space except for a one-family residence as in Subsection B of this section.

Access. Unobstructed access to and from a street shall be provided. Such access shall consist of at least one ten-foot lane for parking areas with less than 20 spaces and at least two ten-foot lanes for parking areas with 20 spaces or more.

Drainage and surfacing. All open parking areas shall be properly drained, and all such areas shall be provided with a macadam surface, except for parking spaces accessory to a one-family residence. See also § 275-71C.

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 same lot, provided that the number of required spaces in such joint facilities shall be not less than the total required for all such establishments, except as provided for in Subsection H of this section.

Combined spaces. When any lot or adjacent lots contain 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 primarily during periods when the other use or uses is not or are not in operation, and provided that such spaces are within 300 feet of all uses, the Planning Board may reduce the total parking spaces required for that use with the least requirement.

Unlisted uses. For all other buildings or uses not specifically delineated in the schedules, the Planning Board shall determine the minimum required parking spaces and shall apply as a standard, wherever practicable, the requirements in the schedule applicable to the type of building or use most similar in nature and function to the proposed building or use not so listed.

Uses for which required. Accessory off-street loading berths shall be provided for any lot or any use specified herein. Any land which is developed as a unit under single ownership and control shall be considered a single lot for the purpose of such requirement.

Size, location and access. Each required loading berth, except for undertakers, shall be at least 12 feet wide, 40 feet long and 14 feet high. Unobstructed access, at least 10 feet wide, to and from a street shall be provided. Such access may be combined 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 C of this section.

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 facilities.

Access near street corner. No entrance or exit for any accessory off-street parking area with over 10 parking spaces nor any loading berth shall be located within 50 feet of the intersection of any two street lines.

On lots divided by zone boundaries. When a lot is located partly in one district and partly in another, the regulations for the district requiring the greater number of parking spaces or loading berths shall apply to all of the lot. Parking spaces or loading berths on such a lot may be located without regard to district lines, provided that no such parking spaces or loading berths shall be located in any Residence Zone, unless the use to which they are accessory is permitted in such zone or by special permission of the Planning Board.

Supplementary parking regulations in Professional Office Zones, In P Zones wherever space is provided for the parking of 10 or more vehicles in the open, such spaces shall be individually identified by means of pavement markings and shall be screened by a substantial solid wall or fence or thick hedge five feet in height above the average finished grade of the parking area. No parking space shall be located in any front yard or within three feet of any lot line in side or rear yards. The parking of motor vehicles within 15 feet of any wall or portion thereof, which wall contains a window, other than a bathroom or kitchen window, with a sill height of less than eight feet above the level of the parking space is prohibited. 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.
