Off-street parking space shall be required for all
buildings constructed or new uses established after the effective
date of this chapter. Each off-street space shall consist of a minimum
ten-foot by twenty-foot area, unless otherwise determined by the Planning
Board. The Planning Board has the discretion to entertain parking
layouts that include a combination of the standard ten-foot by twenty-foot
parking space and nine-foot-wide by twenty-foot-long spaces. The standard-sized
spaces will be required in areas where parking is anticipated on a
regular, more frequent basis. The reduced width spaces will be considered
in areas that are anticipated to be used on a seasonal or more infrequent
basis. The ratio of standard width spaces to reduced width spaces
will vary dependent upon the proposed use. The size of spaces required
on a particular project will be determined by the Planning Board.
The Planning Board encourages the practice of “land
banking” parking spaces and permanently paving them only after
use of the facility has indicated that the spaces are needed. Land
banked parking spaces will be counted toward the total number of spaces
required. The land banked area cannot be credited toward the amount
of green space that is required on a project.
In addition, space necessary for aisles, maneuvering
and drives shall be provided. Minimum aisle widths shall be 22 feet.
Parking requirements are specified in Schedule B.[1]
For uses not specified in Schedule B, the Board of
Appeals shall, on appeal and after recommendation of the Planning
Board, establish parking requirements consistent with those specified
in Schedule B.
Floor areas for the purposes of computing parking
requirements shall be the sum of the horizontal area within exterior
walls of the several floors of a building, excluding basement, cellar
and attic areas used primarily for storage or service.
The Planning Board shall have the ability to waive the parking requirements
in Schedule B[2] in cases of site plans or amendments to existing approved
site plans (e.g., building additions), and change of tenant/change
of use applications. In determining the appropriateness of waiving
the requirements in Schedule B, the Planning Board shall consider
unique site conditions, traffic patterns, and known or anticipated
parking demand and hours of operation of the existing and proposed
tenant/tenants.
At least one off-street loading space shall be provided for each commercial or industrial establishment hereafter erected or substantially altered to have a gross floor area in excess of 5,000 square feet, computed as described in § 165-35. Space for off-street loading shall be in addition to space for off-street parking.
Space for such berth may occupy any part of any required
side or rear yard, except no such berth shall be located closer than
100 feet to a residential district lot line unless wholly within a
completely enclosed building.
No more than one unlicensed vehicle may be stored
on a residential lot.
[Amended 7-16-2014 by L.L. No. 3-2014]
There shall be no more than one RV, camper or
travel trailer, which may not be used as the primary residence, stored
on a residential lot.
