Editor's Note: Schedule 2 is included at the end of this chapter.
Off-street parking and loading facilities for
separate uses may be provided jointly if the total number of spaces
so provided is not less than the sum of the separate requirements
for each use, and provided that all regulations governing the location
of accessory spaces in relation to the use served are adhered to.
Further, no accessory space or portion thereof shall serve as a required
space for more than one use unless otherwise approved by the Planning
Board as provided in the Village of Ridgefield Park Site Plan Review
Ordinance.
Every parcel of land hereafter used as a public
or private off-street parking or loading area shall be maintained
in good condition, free of hazards and deterioration. All pavement
areas, sidewalks, curbs, drainage facilities, lighting, bumpers, guardrails,
stripping and other markings, signs, landscaping and other improvements
shall be maintained in workable, safe and good condition.
All permitted and required accessory off-street
parking spaces, open or enclosed, shall be located on the same zone
lot as the use to which such spaces are accessory, except that such
spaces may be provided elsewhere but shall be provided within a radius
of no greater distance than 400 feet from that lot, and provided further
that required spaces are provided off the site in accordance with
the provisions set forth herein or in the Village of Ridgefield Park
Site Plan Review Ordinance and that such spaces shall be in the same
ownership as the use to which they are accessory and shall be subject
to deed restrictions filed in the office of the County Clerk in Bergen
County, binding the owner or owners and their heirs and/or assigns
to maintain the required number of spaces available throughout the
life of such use, and such spaces shall conform to all regulations
of the district in which they are located.
