(Ord. No. 839, 6-1-98)

If automobile off-street parking space cannot be reasonably provided on the same lot on which the principal use is conducted, required parking space may be provided on other off-street property if such space lies within 300 feet of the main building. Such parking space shall be established by a recorded covenant or agreement as parking space to be used in conjunction with the principal use and shall be reserved as such through an encumbrance on the title.

No land shall be used or occupied and no structure shall be erected or structurally altered for commercial or industrial uses in which commodities are sold, displayed, stored, serviced, repaired, altered, or fabricated as the principal use of the establishment unless off-street loading spaces required herein are provided. Such loading spaces, however, are not required for any commercial or industrial structure or use existing at the time of the enactment of this ordinance unless such structure or use is enlarged or structurally altered.

The off-street loading spaces required by this ordinance shall be located in all cases on the same lot or parcel of land as the use or structure they are intended to serve. In no case should any required loading space be part of an area used to satisfy the off-street parking requirement of this ordinance.

For each commercial or industrial establishment required to provide off-street loading space, at least one loading space with an area of at least 200 square feet shall be provided. If the commercial or industrial structure contains over 1,000 square feet of gross floor area, two off-street loading spaces shall be provided. In such a case one space shall be at least 200 square feet in area, and the other space shall be at least 450 square feet in area with a minimum overhead clearance of 14 feet, if the loading space is sheltered by a roof.
