Where a building is used for more
than one use or for different uses, and where the floor area used
for each use for which loading space is required is below the minimum
for required loading spaces but the aggregate floor area used is greater
than such minimum, then off-street loading space shall be provided
as if the entire building were used for that use in the building for
which the most spaces are required. In such cases, the Director may
make reasonable requirements for the location of required loading
spaces.
A.
Minimum size. For the purpose of these
regulations, a "loading space" is a space within the main building
or on the same lot, providing for the standing, loading or unloading
of trucks, having a minimum width of 12 feet and a minimum depth of
40 feet.
B.
Loading space for funeral homes. Loading
spaces for a funeral home may be reduced in size to ten by twenty-five
(10 x 25) feet and vertical clearance reduced to eight feet.
C.
Drainage and maintenance. Off-street loading
facilities shall be drained to eliminate standing water and prevent
damage to abutting property and/or public streets and alleys and surfaced
with erosion-resistant material in accordance with applicable county
specifications. Off-street loading areas shall be maintained in a
clean and orderly condition, at the expense of the owner or lessee,
and not used for sale, repair, dismantling or servicing of any vehicles,
equipment, materials or supplies.
D.
Entrances and exits. The location and design
of entrances and exits shall be in accord with applicable requirements
of state traffic regulations and standards.
