[Adopted 11-1-1995 as L.L. No. 6-1995]
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Great
Neck Plaza hereby finds that it will serve the health, welfare and
safety of the village and its residents to regulate deliveries by
vehicle to and from high-volume retail stores where such stores and/or
their loading and service bays are contiguous with streets adjoining
residential buildings.
As used in this Article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
RESIDENTIAL BUILDING
One- and two-family homes and all multiple dwellings used
for living purposes which contain three or more units.
RETAIL STORE
Any building or a portion of a building devoted to a single
use occupancy used and/or rented for retail sales, services and other
similar activities, including restaurants, bars and food service businesses.
HIGH-VOLUME USE
The use of any retail store which requires servicing by five
or more delivery vehicles on a daily basis.
DELIVERY VEHICLE
Any commercial vehicle delivering or picking up goods from
a retail store.
All high-volume retail stores with a total floor
area in excess of 30,000 square feet where such stores and/or their
loading and service bays are contiguous with streets adjoining residential
buildings are required to regulate the deliveries and pickups by delivery
vehicles to assure that such streets are not used for the parking,
standing or unloading of delivery vehicles while said vehicles are
delivering or waiting to deliver to, or picking up or waiting to puck
up from, such retail stores. The following criteria shall apply for
all retail stores in this category:
A. Sufficient space shall be provided in an off-street
loading bay area to accommodate the loading and unloading of all delivery
vehicles serving the premises. Included in this space shall be sufficient
stacking space to allow all delivery vehicles waiting to load or unload
to be accommodated within such off-street loading bay area.
B. If sufficient stacking space cannot be provided within
the loading bay area, then sufficient off-street stacking space shall
be provided elsewhere on the property where the retail store is located
to accommodate all delivery vehicles waiting to deliver to or pick
up from the retail store. If it is required that delivery vehicles
must traverse public streets adjoining residential buildings in order
to travel from such stacking space to the loading bay, then the owner,
tenant or lessee shall provide uniformed personnel to monitor and
regulate the traffic of delivery vehicles between the stacking area
and the loading bays so as to assure that trucks and delivery vehicles
not park, stand or congregate on the public street while awaiting
their turn to load or unload at the loading bay. Uniformed personnel
shall be stationed at the stacking area and at the loading bay and
shall be equipped with two-way radios to maintain communication so
that delivered vehicles, trucks and vans can be individually directed
from the stacking area to the loading bays as they become available.
