Off-Street Parking and Loading
§ 210-37 Off-street parking.
A.
Off-street parking shall be provided and maintained as specified in Subsection B, and parking areas shall be paved in accordance with the standards as set forth in Chapter 195, Subdivision of Land. All such parking space shall be considered to be required space on the lot on which it is located unless otherwise stated and shall not, therefore, be encroached upon or reduced in any manner.
B.
Schedule of Off-Street Parking Requirements.

C.
When the computation to determine the off-street parking spaces results in a fraction of a space, the fraction shall be considered a requirement of one additional space.
D.
Required parking areas and driveways of adjoining space may be combined so that the total parking area meets the combined requirements of the separate uses. Total frontage used by driveways must not exceed the combined maximum permitted frontage of the separate uses. Required off-street parking provided on another lot for any building or use shall be located within 200 feet measured along the most direct line of access to the building or use which such parking area is intended to serve.
§ 210-38 Off-street loading.
A.
Off-street loading berths and spaces shall be provided in accordance with Subsection B and the regulations listed below:
(1)
A loading space shall have a minimum dimension of 12 feet by 25 feet and 14 feet of overhead clearance.
(2)
A loading space shall be sufficient to allow normal loading and unloading operations of a kind and magnitude appropriate to the building or use served thereby.
(3)
The Zoning Officer shall determine the sufficiency of loading space, but in no case shall the use of such space hinder the free movement of vehicles and pedestrians over a street or encroach in any way on the required parking space.
B.

§ 210-39 Variances from requirements.
[Added 6-14-1982 by Ord. No. 373-C]
If an applicant can clearly demonstrate to the Planning Board or, in the case of processing a site plan involving a variance, to the Board of Adjustment that, because of the nature of the operation or the use of the premises, the off-street parking or off-street loading requirements are unnecessary and excessive, the Planning Board or Board of Adjustment, as the case may be, may approve off-street parking or off-street loading plans showing less parking area or fewer loading spaces than is required. In such event, a landscaped area shall be reserved that can readily be converted to off-street parking or off-street loading if the conditions for allowing lesser parking or loading areas ever change. Evidence of the feasibility of meeting the full off-street parking or off-street loading requirements of this chapter shall be submitted by the applicant in the form of supplemental plans detailing the manner in which the full off-street parking or off-street loading requirements can be met, with the area actually proposed to be constructed clearly delineated from the potential future off-street parking or off-street loading areas.
