Permitted accessory parking.

Prohibited accessory parking.

No building or premises shall be built or erected, nor shall any building be altered so as to expand its usable floor area, nor shall the use of any building or premises be expanded or changed unless there is provided parking area upon the premises upon which the use or structure is located in accordance with Column 9 of the Schedule of District Regulations,[1] except as provided in Subsection B below.

Required off-street parking spaces may be located elsewhere than on the same lot with the use to which it is appurtenant, provided that it shall be in the same zone as the use to which it is appurtenant, and further provided that it not be more distant from the principal entrance or entrances to the structure it serves than 200 feet in the case of a B-1 or R-M use, 400 feet in the case of a B-2 use and 800 feet in the case of a manufacturing or industrial use, and provided that all such space, through ownership or permanent easement, is under the control of the owner or operator of the use to which such space is appurtenant.

Required spaces shall be computed on the basis of 10 feet by 20 feet per space, exclusive of drives or aisles for access or turning movements in said parking area. Spaces shall be no smaller than 10 feet by 20 feet. There shall be only one vehicle per parking space.

When the number of required spaces results in a fraction, the fraction shall require one parking space.

Adequate space shall be provided on the lot to permit the placing of automobiles in a position to enter a public street or highway from said parking area in a forward direction.

If a use is not listed in Column 9 of the Schedule of District Regulations, then the number of required off-street parking spaces becomes the number of spaces required for the use which most nearly approximates the proposed use as interpreted by the Planning Board.

When more than one permitted use is located on a premises, the number of required off-street parking spaces becomes the sum of the component requirements. 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.

Areas which may be computed as the required off-street parking space may include a garage, carport or other area available for parking, other than a street or driveway. However, a driveway within a front yard of a one- or two-family dwelling may be counted as one space.

In situations where senior citizen housing is proposed to be constructed with the financial assistance of federal or state agencies, the Planning Board is hereby empowered, in its discretion, to reduce or increase the requirements of this section to reflect the specifications and considerations of those agencies, if the public interest would be served thereby.

Off-street parking areas for more than three automobiles shall be adequately paved, graded and drained so as to dispose of all surface waters to the satisfaction of the Village Engineer.

All off-street parking spaces within any required parking area shall be clearly marked to show the parking arrangement and movement within said parking area.

All off-street parking areas shall be maintained in good condition. Any shrubs required by this chapter as a buffer for a particular use on the same premises as a parking area, which shrubs are located adjacent to a parking area, shall be protected by a concrete curb, bumper guard or the equivalent, which shall run parallel to said shrubs, be at least five inches in height above the paved surface adjacent to said shrubs and be a sufficient distance therefrom to protect said shrubs from the impact of motor vehicles.

There shall be adequate provision for ingress and egress to all parking spaces. Access to off-street parking areas shall be limited to several well-defined locations at which curb cuts shall be permitted by the Planning Board. Driveways to each of said curb cuts shall be at least 10 feet in width and no more than 20 feet in width in a B-1 District or residential district for a use requiring five or more spaces. In a B-2 District, driveways to each of said curb cuts shall be at least 15 feet in width and no more than 30 feet in width. In no case shall there be permitted unrestricted access along the length of the street or streets upon which the parking area abuts.

No building or premises shall be built or erected, nor shall any building be altered so as to expand its usable floor area for any commercial or industrial use, nor shall the use of any premises be changed unless there is provided loading space in accordance with the use. Every building or structure, lot or land hereafter put into use for business or industrial purposes or for a hospital, which has an aggregate floor area of 4,800 square feet or more in an I or PAD District or 15,000 square feet or more in any other district where such uses are permitted, shall be provided with off-street truck loading space in accordance with the following schedule:

Shipping or receiving docks for off-street loading facilities shall have adequate access to and from a public street without using said street for maneuvering purposes and shall not be located nearer than 200 feet to a residential district.

No shipping or receiving shall be permitted within 600 feet of a residential district between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.

Required loading spaces shall be at least 12 by 33 feet or of a size suitable for their intended purpose as determined by the Planning Board.
