weight of 40,000 pounds or more), each loading space shall be at least
12 feet by 35 feet in dimension with a clear height of 14 feet six
inches. For all industrial uses, large product commercial uses (car

development, and office buildings that accommodate trucks with a registered
maximum gross vehicle weight of 40,000 pounds or more, each loading

height of 15 feet. All other uses with loading should provide a ten-foot

(2)
Maneuvering space shall be provided adjacent to the loading area,
if necessary, so that vehicles may change direction and leave as well
as enter the loading area moving in a forward direction. Public roads
adjacent to a loading area shall not be used for maneuvering. Areas
established for off-street parking shall not be utilized for off-street
loading or vehicle repair work.
(3)
Where there are multiple uses within a development, shared loading
areas shall be used among as many uses as practical. Loading areas
shall be adjacent to the use or building served; except that, in a
group of buildings in the same use on the same lot, one building may
be designated to receive and dispatch goods, provided that the total
applicable floor area in all buildings on the lot is aggregated in
determining the total required loading spaces.
(4)
Whenever a use is enlarged or changed, the additional loading required
to serve such enlargement or change shall be in accordance with the
requirements of this chapter.
(5)
Loading areas and adjacent maneuvering space shall be surfaced with
a permanent all-weather material placed over at least six inches of
well-compacted base course, capable of bearing the weight of vehicles
ordinarily traveling over or parking upon the surface, and shall be
sloped to assure positive drainage to an approved stormwater management
facility.

Loading areas may be lighted, but such lighting shall not create
glare conditions on adjacent residential properties or streets.

by this chapter. A solid fence or wall at least 6 1/2 feet in
height may be constructed in lieu of hedging as required by the buffer
yard requirements, provided that such fence or wall is maintained
in good condition.
(9)
Nothing in this section shall compel uses existing prior to passage
of this chapter to comply with these loading requirements, except
that any additions or intensifications of use upon the same lot shall
be provided with loading areas in accordance with these requirements.
E.

its use shall be accompanied by a plan to provide off-street parking
and/or loading in accordance with this chapter, as a condition of
