[Amended 1-10-2000 by Ord. No. 99-13; 2-6-2012 by Ord. No. 2012-1]
No application for a permit for the erection of a new structure, development of a land use, change in use, or expansion of a structure shall be approved unless the off-street parking requirements as set forth in §
185-78, pertaining to minimum parking requirements, and in §
185-79, pertaining to parking lot and space requirements, are met and an approved driveway permit for the location and means of access to such area from the public streets and highways has been issued. When there is a mixed use within a building, each use shall be determined separately with the sum of the requirements being the total parking requirement. In all cases, the entire building shall be categorized for purposes of determining total parking requirements.
[Amended 2-6-2012 by Ord. No. 2012-1]
Plans and specifications for any required parking
facility and its access drives shall be submitted at the time of the
application for the building permit for the principal use.
Except where such parking or storage is directly
related to a permitted or lawful nonresidential nonconforming use
on that premises, no commercial vehicles having a capacity of more
than two tons or having three or more axles, or tractors for hauling
trailers, shall be stored, parked or garaged in a Residence District.
The parking, storage or garaging of vans, trailers or semitrailers,
or similar vehicles designed to be propelled by a separate means of
locomotion, or vehicles designed to be used for moving said vans,
trailers or semitrailers, as well as all self-propelled machinery
designed for commercial use, shall be prohibited in Residence Districts.
Customized vans used principally as pleasure or recreational vehicles
are exempt from the provisions of this section.
The storage of major recreational equipment
owned by the occupant must comply with the following requirements
in Residence Districts:
A. Not more than one such item may be stored on a lot,
and no such item may be stored in any required front yard. For the
purposes of this section, a boat resting on a boat trailer shall be
considered as one item of equipment.
B. No major recreational equipment while stored shall
be used for living, sleeping or housekeeping purposes, either temporarily
or permanently.
C. No major recreational equipment shall be stored out-of-doors
unless it is in condition for the performance of the function for
which it is customarily used or intended, or can be brought to such
condition within a six-month period. In the event that major recreational
equipment remains unused for a continuous period of longer than 18
months, it will be presumed that this requirement is not satisfied.
The Zoning Board of Review may hear and grant a special use permit from the requirements of the provisions of this article, as provided in Article
XIV and subject to the prerequisite contained therein.
