In a Roadside Business District, buildings, structures and lots
used for purposes other than those permitted in a residence district
shall be subject to the following special provisions:
All buildings and structures shall conform to the height and lot coverage regulations for residence districts as contained in § 198-701.1 and § 198-704, respectively.
[Amended 4-28-1975 ATM by Art. 16]
[Amended 5-5-1999 STM by Art. 9: paragraph deleted]
Except where adjacent buildings, structures, or lots are served
by the same driveway openings, each building, structure, or lot shall
be provided with two driveway openings onto the street, one of which
shall be used for entrance to, and the other for exit from, the building,
structure, or lot. Not more than two such openings shall be permitted
for each 200 feet of street frontage. Such openings shall be not more
than 20 feet in width at the street lot line and located no less than
40 feet apart, measured along said line, and not less than 20 feet
from side lot lines. Where approval by the MassDOT is required in
connection with driveway openings onto state highways, the prior provisions
of this § 198-1002.1.3 shall be waived, and the regulations
of MassDOT shall be applicable.
Each building, structure, or lot shall provide and maintain
adequate areas off the street for parking of cars of employees and
customers to avoid undue interference with traffic.
Not more than one sign, other than those that are attached to
and are part of the architectural design of a building or structure,
may be permitted on each building or structure.
In the event of the construction, reconstruction or substantial
alteration of any building or structure that is used or intended to
be used, in whole or in part, for any industry, trade, manufacturing
or commercial purposes, a paved pedestrian sidewalk shall be constructed
as a part of such construction, reconstruction or substantial alteration,
such sidewalk to be no less than five feet in width and set back no
less than four feet from the street lot line and to be constructed
the full width of the lot, except where driveways exist. The sidewalk
shall be separated from the remainder of the lot with a four-foot
strip to be maintained as a landscaped area. The sidewalk location
shall be such as to join in a reasonable manner existing sidewalks
on abutting land.
