It is the intent of these requirements that adequate parking
and loading facilities be provided off the public roads of Adamstown
Borough for each use of land within Adamstown Borough. Requirements
are intended to be based on the demand created by each use. These
requirements shall apply to all uses in all districts.
Handicapped accessible parking shall be provided in accordance
with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as may
be amended from time to time.
Adequate off-street loading and unloading space, as approved
by the Zoning Officer, shall be provided on the same premises with
every building or part thereof hereafter erected or occupied for any
use which involves large-volume receipt or distribution of materials
or merchandise by motor vehicle. This space shall be so placed and
arranged as to not interfere with the free movement of vehicles and
pedestrians over a public road.
Automotive vehicles or trailers of any kind or type without
current required license plates and current inspection stickers shall
not be parked or stored on any property within the Borough unless
the same are kept in a completely enclosed accessory building. The
requirement of this section shall not be applicable to implements
and other vehicles not normally used as conveyance on the public highway.
If not required as part of a subdivision or land development
plan submission, detailed, scaled drawings of off-street parking and
loading areas (except for single- and two-family dwellings) shall
be submitted to the Zoning Officer for approval prior to their construction.
The drawings shall show each space, dimensions of driveways, aisles
and other features required under the provisions of this chapter.
All off-street parking areas shall be reserved and used for
automobile parking only, with no sales, dead storage, repair work,
dismantling or servicing of any kind on residential dwelling lots
in residential districts. The parking of one commercial vehicle up
to one ton is permitted if needed by an individual for his livelihood
for a business not conducted on the premises; or one vehicular dwelling
is permitted for storage purposes only and is not to be used for sleeping,
recreational or living purposes at any time or in any way, shape or
form.
