[Ord. No. 77:1; Ord. No. 78:3]
a.
Off-Street Parking. In the Light Industrial Park Zone, provision shall be made for two parking spaces for each three employees. Where shift work is employed, off-street parking shall be based on the largest shift. All off-street parking areas shall be designed to meet the following standards:
1.
All parking spaces shall be not less than nine (9') feet in width and not less than twenty (20') feet in depth.
2.
All parking areas shall be designed with service aisles to meet the following standards:
Angle of Parking | Aisle Width (feet) |
|---|---|
Parallel to 30 degrees | 12 |
31 to 45 degrees | 14 |
46 to 60 degrees | 18 |
61 to 90 degrees and access drives | 24 |
3.
Only one-way traffic circulation shall be permitted in twelve (12'), fourteen (14'), and eighteen (18') foot aisle widths.
4.
Access to any lot shall be had by means of driveways twenty-four (24') feet wide, with not more than one such driveway permitted for each one hundred fifty (150') feet or fraction thereof of lot frontage.
5.
The perimeter of all off-street parking and loading areas and all access drives shall be enclosed by a concrete or Belgian block curb at least six (6") inches above the paved surface.
6.
Off-street parking shall be set back at least five (5') feet from any building, twenty (20') feet from the front or side street property line, ten (10') feet from any side or rear property line and twenty-five (25') feet from any residence district boundary line. Wherever such off-street parking or off-street loading abuts a residence zone, it shall be screened adequately to conceal it entirely at all seasons of the year.
b.
Off-Street Loading. For all new buildings or additions to existing buildings, provision shall be made for off-street loading space adequate to serve the intended use. Such space shall be at least ten (10') feet in width, twenty-five (25') feet in length and have a fourteen (14') foot clearance above grade, except that where larger vehicles are anticipated, the dimension shall be adequately increased. Off-street loading shall be in other than the front yard or side street front yard.
c.
Off-Street Parking for Recreational Facilities and Other Than Light Industry. The number of required spaces shall be determined by the Planning Board, which shall base its determination upon reasonable need for parking likely to result from such particular use based upon a study and the experience of the same use under similar circumstances. All off-street parking areas shall be designed to meet the above standards and shall not be less than the minimum parking facilities required by this paragraph.
