All evergreen vegetation to be installed shall not be less than four feet in height at the time of planting and shall be of such species that expected height at maturity shall not be less than 15 feet.

All deciduous material to be installed shall not be less than eight feet in height or two-inch caliper at the time of planting.

Driveway Requirements.

Access Drive Requirements.

Off-street loading and unloading space, or spaces with proper and safe access from the street shall be provided on each lot, either within a structure or in the open, to serve the uses within the district adequately.

Loading and unloading spaces shall be at least 12 feet wide, 45 feet long, and shall have at least a fourteen-foot vertical clearance.

Loading and unloading spaces shall have all-weather surfaces to provide safe and convenient access during all seasons.

Loading facilities shall not be constructed between the building setback line and a street right-of-way line.

Required off-street parking space shall not be used for loading and unloading purposes except during hours when business operations are suspended.

A building is constructed or a new use is established.

The use of an existing building is changed to a use requiring more parking facilities.

An existing building or use is altered or enlarged so as to increase the amount of parking required.

Each application for a zoning permit (for a use for which parking spaces are required) shall include a drawing (site plan) showing proposed layout of the lot. The drawing shall clearly indicate all of the design elements required below.

No zoning permit shall be issued for any use for which parking spaces are required unless the site plan has been approved or necessary variances have been obtained.

In any parking lot containing 20 or more parking spaces, 5% of the total area of the lot shall be devoted to interior landscaping. Such interior landscaping may be used, for example, at the end of parking space rows, to break up rows of parking spaces every 20 parking spaces and to help visually define travel lanes through or next to the parking lot. Landscaped areas situated outside the parking lot, such as peripheral areas and areas surrounding buildings, shall not constitute interior landscaping. For the purpose of computing the total area of any parking lot, all areas within the perimeter of the parking lot shall be counted, including all parking spaces and access drives, aisles, islands and curbed areas. Ground cover alone is not sufficient to meet this requirement. Trees, shrubs or other approved material all be provided. At least one shade/ornamental tree shall be provided for each 300 square feet of required interior landscaping area. These trees shall have a clear trunk at least five feet above finished grade level.

If a parking lot of under 20 spaces is built without interior landscaping and later additional spaces are added so that the total is 20 or more, the interior landscaping shall be provided for the entire parking lot. A land development plan must be submitted to the Township.

Parking spaces shall be clearly delineated by suitable markings. Special use spaces such as short term visitor parking, handicapped parking and pickup/dropoff zones shall be differentiated from long term employee parking by suitable markings.

In commercial shopping centers over three acres in size, joint parking lots may be permitted. These joint facilities can reduce the total number of parking spaces required by a maximum of 20%. Therefore, the resulting joint parking lot will be required to provide at least 80% of the total number of spaces required by the sum of all the shopping center's tenants. Such reduced parking spaces must be appropriately distributed upon the lot to provide convenient walking distance between every vehicle and each of the shopping center's stores.

Required parking spaces may be provided in spaces to jointly serve two or more establishments or uses, provided the number of required spaces in such joint facility shall be less than the total required for all such establishments or uses. Where it can be conclusively demonstrated that one or more such uses will be generating a demand for parking spaces, primarily using periods when the other use(s) is not in operation, the total number of required parking spaces may be reduced to the required number of spaces that would be needed to serve the use generating the most demand for parking; plus 20% of that number required parking spaces needed to service the use(s) generating the demand for lesser spaces.

Unified commercial/light industrial development shall be subject to the regulations contained in Subsection 4A and B above.

For unified commercial/light industrial developments where the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Board of Supervisors that the cumulative required parking space total is excessive due to the likelihood that various uses may share parking or upon the recommendation of the Township Engineer, the Board may reduce the required number of parking spaces as a part of the conditional use application process.

The sale, display or storage of vehicles or other merchandise.

Performing services (including services to vehicles).

Required off-street parking space shall not be used for loading or unloading purposes except during hours when business operations are suspended.

If the total number of parking spaces exceeds 10, a minimum of 2% of the total number of parking spaces, but not less than one parking space in any lot shall be designated and designed for physically handicapped persons, unless otherwise specified by the Board of Supervisors and/or state or federal regulations.

Said spaces shall be most accessible and approximate to the building or buildings which the parking spaces shall serve.

Each space or group of spaces shall be identified with a clearly visible sign displaying the international symbol of access.

Each space shall be a minimum of 12 feet wide to allow room for persons in wheelchairs or on braces or crutches to get in and out of either side of a vehicle onto level, paved surfaces suitable for wheeling and walking.

Where applicable, curb ramps shall be provided to permit handicapped people access from the parking lot to the sidewalk or building entrance.

There shall be sufficient space provided for each use so that there is a minimum of one space for each employee on the shift of greatest employment, plus additional parking spaces to be provided by the application of the appropriate formula for each use listed in this section. The Board of Supervisors may authorize a reduction in the number of off-street parking spaces in cases where the applicant can justify the reduction and still provide adequate facilities. In the case of mixed uses, the total number of required parking spaces shall be the sum of the required spaces for the various uses computed separately unless otherwise modified by other sections of this Part.

Minimum off-street parking in addition to employee spaces shall be as follows:
