There is no limitation on the number of agricultural vehicles
permitted accessory to an agricultural use, but only one (1) commercial
vehicle, which vehicle shall not exceed three-fourths (3/4) ton capacity,
and only one (1) of the following: an unoccupied camper trailer, motor
boat or sailing boat may be parked on a residential plot by the occupant
of the plot; and
Off-street parking spaces. No accessory off-street parking spaces
are permitted in required front yards. No off-street parking space
shall be located within any required usable open space. No enclosed
accessory off-street parking space, including a garage, is permitted
in a required front yard. However, where by reason of exceptional
topography it is impractical to construct an accessory garage behind
the required front yard, the Board of Adjustment may permit the construction
of not more than two (2) enclosed parking spaces within a required
front yard, accessory to a residence. In determining the proper location
for such facility, consideration shall be given to traffic safety
and the effect on nearby property.
Applicable To All Uses. Accessory off-street parking spaces, open
or enclosed, shall be provided for any plot for any use specified
in Use Table,[1] Column 6. Any land which is developed as a unit under
single ownership and control with uses subject to the regulations
of Use Table, Column 6, shall be considered a single plot for the
purpose of such regulations.
Areas Computed As Parking Spaces. Areas which may be computed as
open or enclosed off-street parking spaces include any private garage,
carport or other area available for parking, other than a street or
driveway.
Location And Ownership Of Required Accessory Parking Facilities.
Required accessory parking spaces, open or enclosed, may be provided
upon the same plot as the use to which they are accessory, or elsewhere,
provided all spaces therein are located within three hundred (300)
feet walking distance of such lot. In all cases, such parking spaces
shall conform to all the regulations of the district in which they
are located; and in no event shall such parking spaces be located
in any residential district, unless the uses to which they are accessory
are permitted in such districts. Such spaces shall be in the same
ownership as the use to which they are accessory, and shall be subject
to deed restriction, filed with the Recorder of Deeds, binding the
owner and his/her heirs and assigns to maintain the required number
of spaces available throughout the existence of such use to which
they are accessory or until such spaces are provided elsewhere.
Size Of Spaces. A minimum of one hundred seventy (170) square feet
shall be considered one (1) parking space. Standing areas, aisles
for maneuvering and entrance and exit roadways shall not be computed
as parking space and shall be provided in addition to required parking
space, as required in site plan approval.
Drainage And Surfacing. All open parking areas shall be properly
drained, and all such areas shall be provided with a dustless surface,
except for parking space accessory in one-family or two-family residence,
or an agricultural use; and except that grassed areas may be used
for an athletic field or stadium.
Joint Facilities. Required parking spaces, open or enclosed, may
be provided in spaces designated to serve jointly two (2) or more
establishments whether or not located on the same lot, provided that
the number of required spaces in such joint facilities shall not be
less than the total required for all such establishments.
Combined Uses. When any lot contains two (2) or more uses having
different parking requirements, the parking requirements for each
use shall apply to the extent of that use. Where it can be conclusively
demonstrated that one (1) or more such uses will be generating a demand
for parking spaces primarily during periods when the other use or
uses is not or are not in operation, the Board of Adjustment may reduce
the total parking spaces required by fifty percent (50%) of the parking
spaces required for that use with the least requirement.
[CC 1986 § 42.720]
Off-street loading berths, open or enclosed, are permitted accessory
to any use except residences for one (1) or two (2) families. However,
no off-street loading berth shall be located within required front
yard.
Uses for which required accessory off-street berths shall be
provided for any lot for any use specified in Use Table,[1] Column 7. Any land which is developed as a unit under
single ownership and control shall be considered a single plot for
the purposes of such requirements.
Space allocated to any off-street loading shall not, while so
allocated, be used to satisfy the space requirements for any off-street
parking facilities or portions thereof.
Location And Access. Each required loading berth may be located either
within a building or in open space but not within required accessory
off-street parking spaces or accessory drives thereto. Unobstructed
access to and from a street shall be provided. Such access may be
combined with access to a parking lot. All permitted or required loading
berths shall be on the same lot as the use to which they are accessory,
except as provided below.
Joint Facilities. Permitted or required loading berths, open or enclosed,
may be provided in spaces designed to serve jointly two (2) or more
adjacent establishments, provided that the number of required berths
in such joint facilities shall not be less than the total required
for all such establishments, and that:
Total berths provided shall meet the requirements based on the
sum of the several types of uses served. (Area of types of uses may
be totaled before computing number of loading berths.)
The tunnel or ramp connecting the central loading area with
the zoning lot served shall not be less than seven (7) feet in width
and have a clearance of not less than seven (7) feet.
Access Near Street Corners. No entrance or exit for any accessory
off-street parking area with over four (4) parking spaces, nor any
loading berth, shall be located within seventy-five (75) feet of the
intersection of any two (2) street lines.
Screening And Floodlights. Any part of any off-street parking area
with four (4) or more spaces, and any loading berth, shall have a
screen between the same and all roads and property lines bordering
the lot. If floodlighting is used, it shall be arranged so as to prevent
the glare of lights toward any contiguous lot or street.
On Lots Divided By District Boundaries. When a lot is located partly
in one (1) district and partly in another district, the regulations
for the district requiring the greater number of parking spaces or
loading berths shall apply to all of the lot. Parking spaces or loading
berths on such a lot may be located without regard to district lines,
provided that no such parking spaces or loading berths shall be located
in any residential district, unless the use to which they are accessory
is permitted in such district.
