A. 
Location of Parking and Loading Areas.
1. 
Parking and loading spaces shall be located on the same lot as the use being served, may abut the building being served rather than requiring a setback from the building and shall be located to directly serve the building for which the space is being provided. No off-street parking or loading space shall have direct access from a street.
2. 
No loading and parking spaces shall be located in any required buffer area.
3. 
Parking spaces located to serve residential uses shall be within 150 feet of the entrance of the building and within 400 feet of commercial/industrial uses (parking garages are an exception).
4. 
Other than driveways for detached single-family homes, all parking aisles and spaces shall be set back at least 20 feet from any lot line and street right-of-way.
5. 
Drive-Up Window Services. Any use having drive-up window services shall provide at least one (1) by-pass lane for the full length of the drive-thru lane and each window shall have an access lane long enough to accommodate at least six (6) vehicles in addition to the vehicle at the window. These access lanes shall be separate from all interior driveways and aisles serving other on-site circulation and parking areas.
6. 
No loading area shall be located in a front yard.
7. 
There shall be no loading in a public right-of-way.
8. 
No loading space shall be located within 40 feet of an intersection of any two public rights-of-way. The off-street loading space(s) shall be located on the property so as to permit any vehicle to be parked in the loading space with no portion of the vehicle extending into the public street.
B. 
Minimum Required Off-Street Parking Schedule for Nonresidential Uses. The number of off-street parking spaces required for any nonresidential use shall be determined by reference to Parking Schedule 1 below. "GFA" shall mean "gross floor area."
1. 
Unscheduled Uses. Off-street parking requirements for uses not listed in Parking Schedule 1 shall be established by the Board, based upon accepted industry standards.
2. 
Combined Uses. In the case of a combination of uses, the off-street parking requirement shall consist of the sum of the spaces required for each individual use unless it can be demonstrated that staggered hours would permit modification.
3. 
Fractional Spaces. Whenever the application of Parking Schedule 1 standards results in the requirements of a fraction of a space, a full space shall be required.
4. 
Fleet Vehicles. Any nonresidential use with vehicles owned or leased and rented to the public or operated by employees must provide additional parking spaces on site above those required by the schedule below in order to accommodate any and all vehicles within the fleet. This shall include, but not be limited to: car rental, exterminators, cleaning services, realtors, distributors, delivery services, printing houses, etc.
