Service Stations.

[Ord. No. 11/78; Ord. No. 5/24/82 § 1329; Ord. No. 12/82 §§ VIII, XI]
a. 
All storage areas, trash facilities, pits, lifts, and working areas shall be within a building. All lubrication, repair or similar activities shall be performed in an enclosed building and no dismantled parts shall be placed outside.
b. 
All gasoline pumps, air pumps, and the islands upon which pumps are normally located shall be set back from the street line at least 40 feet and from any other property line at least 30 feet. A minimum space of 25 feet shall exist between any two islands and between any island and the service station building.
c. 
No junked moter vehicle or part thereof and no unregistered motor vehicle shall be permitted outside an enclosed service station building. No more than six motor vehicles may be located outside a service station building for a period not to exceed five days provided the owners are awaiting the repair of the motor vehicles.
d. 
The exterior display and parking of equipment for rent or sale shall be permitted provided the area devoted to this purpose is in addition to the minimum lot size required for a service station, the area devoted to this purpose does not exceed 20% of the total area of the entire site, the maximum sign area for a service station is not exceeded, and that the location of the equipment being rented or sold does not interfere with the required off-street parking requirements for the service station and does not interfere with the traffic circulation indicated on the approved site plan.
e. 
It is intended that service stations be designed compatibly with other permitted commercial or industrial uses in the zone in which they are located, that they not be stripped along the available highway frontage or at each quadrant of a convenient intersection, and that they be located within shopping centers and in office and industrial complexes as an integral part of the overall design. Ingress and egress shall be designed to recognize the turning movements generated. These access points shall be coordinated with the access points required for nearby uses, frequency of intersecting side streets, minimizing left turns off collector and arterial streets, and maintaining building setbacks compatible with the required setbacks and landscaping.
