Notwithstanding any provision of this Zoning Bylaw to the contrary, no special permit or site plan approval may be granted by the special permit granting authority or by the site plan approval authority ("the approving authority") that allows for development in excess of the following limitations and that has not been supported by the traffic impact information set forth in §

[Amended 4-7-2011 ATM by Art. 19]
1406.1.
The footprint of any building(s) may not exceed 20% of the total
area of the lot. The footprint of a building shall be measured at
the outermost edge of the foundation of the building or at the outermost
edge of any portion of the first floor overhanging the foundation,
whichever is greater.
1406.2.
The floor area ratio (FAR) may not exceed 40% when calculated
by dividing the total gross floor area of the buildings by the total
area of the lot.
1406.3.
No portion of any building or structure may exceed 35 feet in
height, except that this limitation shall not apply to chimneys, ventilators,
skylights, tanks, bulkheads, penthouses and other accessory rooftop
features necessary to the functioning of the building, if such features
are in no way occupied by people.
1406.4.
No building or structure may extend to within 100 feet of any

1406.5.
The lot shall have adequate parking spaces, as determined by
the approving authority after review of the traffic impact assessment
report. Such parking spaces shall be off-street and shall not be located
within 50 feet of the perimeter lot line. The approving authority
may allow on-street parking and location of parking spaces closer
to the lot line, but only after listing its reasons therefor and finding
that allowing such parking is consistent with the purposes of this
Zoning Bylaw. However, in no event may parking be allowed within 100
feet of residential zoning districts or residential properties. All
parking shall be screened from adjacent properties by suitable landscaping
materials.
1406.6.
All facilities and all articles stored on the lot shall be located
within enclosed buildings or structures, unless the approving authority
allows for an adequately screened storage area and lists in its written
findings that such an area is consistent with the purposes of this
Zoning Bylaw.
1406.7.
No loading platform may be located on the street side of any
building or structure or on the side of a building or structure facing
a residential district, unless properly screened and unless the approving
authority lists in its written findings that said screened platform
is consistent with the purposes of this Zoning Bylaw.
1406.8.
In the event of the construction, reconstruction or substantial alteration on any lot that is used or intended to be used, in whole or in part, for the purpose allowed under Article
14, paved pedestrian sidewalks shall be constructed as a part of such construction, reconstruction or substantial alteration. Such sidewalks shall be no less than five feet in width, shall be set back no less than four feet from the street lot line for the entire width of the lot frontage and shall be separated from the remainder of the lot by a four-foot landscaped strip. Sidewalks shall reasonably join existing sidewalks or shall be capable of reasonably joining planned sidewalks, internally and on abutting land.
