Parking shall be provided in accordance with the following schedule.

Where a use is not specifically included in Subsection 1, it is intended that the requirements for the most nearly comparable use specified shall apply, as determined by the Planning Board.

Any computation resulting in a fraction of a space shall be rounded to the highest whole number.

In the Town Center District, the required number of parking spaces shall be 50% of the number resulting from the computations in Subsection 1. The Planning Board, acting as special permit granting authority, may grant a special permit to reduce the required number of spaces further, provided that it finds that adequate parking spaces are available to serve the proposed use in reasonable proximity to the site.

Parking spaces shall be at least nine feet by 18 feet.

All required parking areas, except those serving residential premises, shall be paved.

In parking areas with eight or more spaces, individual spaces shall be delineated by painted lines, wheel stops, or other means.

Parking lot aisles shall be designed in conformance with the following:

All artificial lighting shall be arranged and shielded so as to prevent direct glare from the light source onto any public way or any other property. All parking facilities which are used at night shall be lighted as evenly and fully as possible within the maximum wattage limits established by the State Building Code.

Parking facilities shall provide specially designated parking stalls for the physically handicapped in accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Architectural Barriers Board of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Public Safety or any agency superseding such agency. Handicapped stalls shall be clearly identified by a sign stating that such stalls are reserved for physically handicapped persons. Said stalls shall be located in that portion of the parking facility nearest the entrance to the use or structure which the parking facility serves. Adequate access for the handicapped from the parking facility to the structure shall be provided.

Drive-in facilities, such as drive-in banks or restaurants, shall provide stacking or waiting lanes, which shall be in addition to and separate from any aisle designed to provide access to off-street parking spaces. Such stacking or waiting lanes shall have sufficient length to accommodate eight vehicles for the first service window, ATM or other station, and six additional vehicles for each additional window, ATM or station.

In the Town Center District, required parking areas shall not be located forward of any building front line on the lot or on an adjacent lot.

Access driveways to nonresidential premises shall be 10 feet wide for one-way traffic and 18 feet for two-way traffic; provided, however, that driveways serving two-way traffic may be reduced to 10 feet in width when the driveway does not exceed 50 feet in length, does not serve more than five parking spaces, is not regularly used by trucks, and provides sufficient turnaround so as not to require backing onto a public way. Driveways shall not exceed 22 feet in width.

To the extent feasible, lots and parking areas in nonresidential districts shall be served by common private accessways, in order to minimize the number of curb cuts. Such common accessways shall be in conformance with the functional standards of the Subdivision Rules and Regulations of the Planning Board for road construction, sidewalks, and drainage. Proposed documentation (in the form of easements, covenants, or contracts) shall be submitted with the application, demonstrating that proper maintenance, repair, and apportionment of liability for the common accessway and any shared parking areas has been agreed upon by all lot owners proposing to use the common accessway. Common accessways may serve any number of adjacent parcels deemed appropriate by the Planning Board.

All open off-street parking and loading areas, storage areas, refuse storage and disposal areas, and service areas shall be screened from all adjoining lots and streets by a landscaped area with a width of 20 feet, except that in the Town Center District the required landscaped area shall be five feet. Such landscaped area shall be densely planted with a mixture of deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs, and shall create an effective visual barrier. This provision shall not apply to parking areas for single-family dwellings, or to side lot lines separating one commercial or industrial use from another.

Parking lots containing more than 10 parking spaces shall incorporate shade trees and green areas conforming to the following standards:

Adequate off-street loading facilities and space shall be provided to service all needs created by construction whether through additions, change of use, or new structures.

Facilities shall be so sized and arranged that no vehicle need regularly to back onto or off of a public way, or be parked on a public way while loading, unloading, or waiting to do so.

Loading areas shall be landscaped in accordance with § 301-3.2.6.

Any area of bare earth exposed through nonresidential and nonagricultural building development must be permanently stabilized through replanting, paving, or other means of eliminating wind or water erosion. Such stabilization must be completed prior to building occupancy, or a performance bond must be posted in an amount sufficient to assure completion of such work.

With the exception of where an earth removal permit has been issued, any construction which will expose more than 60,000 square feet of bare earth during development through either removal or filling on the same parcel or on contiguous parcels in the same ownership must comply with the following:

The Building Inspector may require review of erosion control proposals by the Soil Conservation Service or others expert in soil mechanics in cases where doubt as to adequacy or proposed measures exists. Selection of techniques and determination of adequacy of measures shall, unless otherwise specified, be consistent with Guidelines for Soil and Water Conservation in Urbanizing Areas of Massachusetts, USDA Soil Conservation Service, 1975.

All stormwater management systems for new development and redevelopment projects that result in a land disturbance of one or more acres and discharge stormwater into the municipal system must comply with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Stormwater Management Policy Handbook and Technical Handbook, whether or not the project falls within the jurisdiction of the Wetland Protection Act (MGL c. 131, § 40 et seq.). This enforcement will include projects that are less than one acre if the project is part of a larger common plan development.
