B.
Multiple or mixed uses. Where a building is devoted to more than
one use or for different uses and where the floor area for each use
is below the minimum required for a loading space but the aggregate

space shall be provided as if the entire building were devoted to
that use in the building for which the most loading spaces are required.
C.
Location. Required off-street loading spaces shall be located on
the same lot with the principal use requiring such space. No loading
space shall be located within 30 feet of the nearest point of intersection
of two streets or require any vehicle to back into a public street.
Each loading and unloading space shall have access to a public dedicated
street or alley or other approved access. At no time shall any part

Central loading. Central loading facilities may be substituted for
loading berths on the individual zoning lots provided the following
conditions are fulfilled:
(1)
Each zoning lot served shall have direct access to the central loading
area without crossing streets or alleys at grade.
(2)
Total berths provided shall meet the requirements based on the sum
of the several types of uses served. (Areas of types of uses may be
totaled before computing number of loading berths.)

No zoning lot served shall be more than 300 feet removed from the
central loading area.
(4)
The tunnel or ramp connecting the central loading area with the zoning
lot served shall be not less than seven feet in width and have a clearance
of not less than seven feet.

wide for ninety-degree parking, 18 feet wide for sixty-degree parking,
15 feet wide for forty-five-degree parking (angle shall be measured
between center line of parking space and center line of aisle), and
12 feet wide for parallel parking. For parallel parking, the minimum
length of the parking space shall be increased to 23 feet. No parking
area of more than two spaces shall be designed as to require any vehicle
to back into a public street. Any parking area of more than five spaces
shall be sufficiently screened in the form of a solid fence or shrubbery
to protect adjacent residential uses. Large expanses of unchanneled
parking areas shall be avoided by interior landscaping and safety
islands.
C.
Location.

in the parking area may be included in the calculation of the required
minimum landscape area.
(4)
Special residential requirements. Those parking areas for five or
more vehicles, if adjoining a residential use, shall be screened from

visual density, or other effective means, built and maintained at

fence is provided along the interior lot line, the minimum setback
for the parking area shall be five feet from said lot line. Said fence
shall be located a minimum of one foot from said lot line.
(5)
Street setback area. No parking shall be permitted between the street
right-of-way line and the building setback line prevailing in the
zone in which the proposed parking area is to be located. The resulting
open area shall be planted in grass or otherwise landscaped to create
a permanent green area.

kind shall be permitted in association with unenclosed parking facilities
provided in residence districts.

Curbs or barriers. Curbs or barriers shall be installed a minimum
of four feet from a property line so as to prevent the parked vehicles
from extending over any lot lines.
