Number of Spaces.

Off-street parking spaces shall be required in all developments to accommodate residents and visitors.

For residential developments, off-street parking shall be provided as set forth in Exhibit 1[1].

[1]

Editor's Note: The Exhibits referred to herein are included as an attachment to this chapter.

For nonresidential developments, the parking standards shown in Exhibit 2[2] shall be used.

[2]

Editor's Note: The Exhibits referred to herein are included as an attachment to this chapter.

Alternative off-street parking standards shall be accepted only if the applicant demonstrates that these standards better reflect local conditions.

A one-car garage and driveway combination shall count as 2.00 off-street parking spaces, provided the driveway measures a minimum of 30 feet in length between the face of the garage door and the sidewalk or 35 feet to the curbline. A two-car garage and driveway combination shall count as 4.0 off-street parking spaces, provided the minimum width of the driveway is 20 feet and its minimum length is as specified above for a one-car garage.

Where the total number of off-street parking spaces required may not be immediately required for a particular use, a staged development plan may be permitted which requires that only a portion of the parking area, but not less than 65% of the required spaces be completed initially, subject to the following regulations:

(a)

The site plan shall clearly indicate both that portion of the parking area to be initially paved and the total parking needed to provide the number of spaces required.

(b)

The site plan shall provide for adequate drainage of both the partial and total parking areas.

(c)

The portion of the parking area not to be paved initially shall be landscaped in accordance with Section 22-8.

(d)

The applicant shall post separate performance guarantees, in addition to the performance guarantees required under Section 22-10 which shall reflect the cost of installing the additional parking facilities necessary to provide the total number of parking spaces required.

(e)

In lieu of a permanent certificate of occupancy, a temporary certificate of occupancy may be issued for a period of two years. Prior to the expiration of the two-year period, the applicant shall either install the additional parking spaces shown on the site plan and apply for issuance of a permanent certificate of occupancy or apply to the Planning Board after the use has been in operation a minimum of 18 months for a determination as to whether or not the initial parking area provided is adequate. If the Planning Board determines that the parking facility is adequate as originally constructed, the performance guarantees shall be released and a permanent certificate of occupancy issued. If, however, the Planning Board determines that the partial off-street parking area is not adequate, the applicant shall be required to install the additional parking facilities in accordance with the terms of the performance guarantees prior to issuance of a permanent certificate of occupancy.

(f)

Any change of use on a site for which the Planning Board may have approved a partial paving of off-street parking areas to a use which requires more parking spaces than are provided on the site shall require submission of a new site plan.

Size of Spaces. Each off-street parking space shall measure nine feet in width by 18 feet in length. Parking spaces for the physically handicapped shall be 12 feet wide. Striping of handicapped spaces shall conform to the detail provided in Exhibit 3[3].

This distance shall be a maximum of 1,000 feet for employee parking; 500 feet to 800 feet for shoppers; 250 feet for non-elderly residents; 150 feet for elderly residents; and 300 feet for guests.

Access to parking lots shall be designed so as not to obstruct free flow of traffic. There shall be adequate provision for ingress to and egress from all parking spaces to ensure ease of mobility, ample clearance, and safety of vehicles and pedestrians.

The width of all aisles providing direct access to individual parking stalls shall be in accordance with the requirements specified below. Only one-way traffic shall be permitted in aisles serving single-row parking spaces placed at an angle other than 90°.

90	24

Where sidewalks occur in parking areas, parked vehicles shall not overhang or extend over the sidewalk unless an additional two feet are provided in order to accommodate such overhang.

Parking areas shall be suitably landscaped to minimize noise, glare and other nuisance characteristics as well as to enhance the environment and ecology of the site and surrounding area. Parking lots containing more than 100 spaces shall be broken down into sections of smaller lots of 50 spaces separated from other sections by landscaped dividing strips, berms, and similar elements.

For all multiple dwellings and nonresidential uses, the perimeter of all parking areas, internal islands, and planting areas shall have continuous cast in place concrete curbing in accordance with the construction specifications. All parking areas, aisles, and accessways for multiple dwellings and nonresidential uses shall be surfaced with a properly designed all weather pavement in accordance with the construction specifications.

Access to Parking Areas. No person shall erect, install, maintain or permit the erection or existence of any structure that limits or prohibits access to any parking area including gates, fences or barriers without first obtaining site plan approval from the Planning Board. This section shall not apply to single-family properties.
