The intent of these provisions is to alleviate
or prevent congestion of public rights-of-way so as to promote the
safety and general welfare of the public by establishing minimum requirements
for the provision of off-street parking, loading, and circulation
in accordance with the utilization of various sites.
A.
Definition. A parking space is an off-street location
used for the temporary occupancy of one licensed motor vehicle, not
including an access driveway, and having direct access to a street
or alley.
B.
Size.
(1)
A parking space shall be at least 10 feet by 20 feet
with a minimum aggregate of 300 square feet of land provided for each
parking space and access area.
(2)
Parking spaces shall be designed and arranged to provide
free and unimpaired ingress and egress thereto and therefrom.
(3)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for shopping centers,
a parking space shall be at least nine feet by 18 feet, provided that
each space is defined on each side by two stripes at least 18 inches
apart measured from the outside edge of each stripe and the nine-foot
width is measured from center to center of the outlining two stripes.
If a parking space is outlined by only one stripe, such space shall
be at least 9 1/2 feet by 18 feet.

A.
All developments in all zoning districts shall provide a sufficient number of parking spaces to accommodate the number of vehicles that are likely to be attracted to the development and therefore must comply with the parking standards set forth in the Table of Parking Requirements (§ 200-65).
B.
The Planning Board shall approve the layout of parking spaces and driving aisles and shall require at a minimum that which is specified in the Table of Parking Requirements (§ 200-65); however, it may, upon special findings, require more than that which is specified in said section.
C.
In determining the number of parking spaces required for a particular use or site, and if the entity using the site has different types of uses which are separable and are significant in their proportion of the total use and such uses have different parking ratios established by generic usage in the Table of Parking Requirements (§ 200-65), the parking ratio for the entire site may be calculated by apportioning the site usage to the particular use.
D.
If a parking ratio is not provided in the Table of Parking Requirements (§ 200-65), it is presumed that the nature of the activity is such that more than enough area will be employed by the user such that it is unnecessary to specify required parking spaces. However, upon a special finding during site plan review, parking space requirements may be established by the Planning Board.
E.
The Planning Board shall establish the number of parking
spaces to be required in POD, PCD, and InP Districts, on a case-by-case
basis.
A.
A loading space is an off-street location used for
the temporary occupancy of one commercial vehicle while loading or
unloading goods or merchandise, and shall be at least 12 feet by 35
feet. The following minimum number of off-street loading/unloading
spaces for vehicles shall be provided and maintained by the owner
for the uses hereinafter set forth. Said spaces shall be in addition
to the required parking spaces for any such use and shall be of appropriate
length, but not less than 35 feet.
B.
On the same premises, with every building or structure
or part thereof hereafter erected and occupied for the purpose of
business, trade or industry, there shall be provided and maintained
adequate space for the parking of commercial vehicles while loading
and unloading off the street or public alley. Such space shall have
access to a public alley or, if there is no alley, to a public street.
Off-street loading/unloading spaces shall not be used or designed,
intended or constructed to be used in a manner to obstruct or interfere
with the free use of any street, alley or adjoining property. Off-street
loading/unloading spaces shall be provided as set forth below at the
time of erection of any building or structure and or at the time any
building or structure is enlarged or increased in capacity.

that it is impractical to provide parking on the same lot with the
building, by the issuance of a special use permit therefor.
