(A)   At the time of the erection or expansion of any main building or part which is used or is to be used for any commercial or industrial use, the property owner or his or her authorized representative shall be required to provide off-street loading and unloading space as specified in this subchapter.

   (B)   Off-street loading and unloading spaces shall be designed and constructed so that all maneuvering to park vehicles for loading and unloading can take place entirely within the premises. These spaces shall be provided so as not to interfere with the free, normal movement of vehicles and pedestrians on the public right-of-way.

   (A)   For purposes of this section, an off-street loading berth shall have minimum dimensions of 12 feet by 30 feet and 14 feet overhead clearance with adequate means of ingress and egress.

   (B)   For any structure containing less than 20,000 square feet of gross floor area, no berths shall be required. Larger structures, however, shall provide berths as specified below.

(1996 Code, § 155.071) (Ord. passed 5-21-1984)

   (A)   Each application for a building and zoning permit or certificate of occupancy shall include information as to the location and dimensions of off-street loading and unloading space and the means of ingress and egress between such space and a street. This information shall be in a sufficient detail to enable the Zoning Enforcement Officer to determine whether or not the requirements of this chapter are met.

   (B)   The certificate of occupancy of the use of any structure or land where off-street loading and unloading space is required shall be withheld by the Zoning Enforcement Officer until the provisions of this chapter are fully met. If at any time such compliance ceases, any certificate of occupancy which has been issued for the use of the property shall immediately become void and of no effect.

(1996 Code, § 155.072) (Ord. passed 5-21-1984)
