B.
In the case of a use not specifically mentioned above, the requirements
for off-street parking facilities to which said use is similar shall
be as set forth by the Code Enforcement Officer.
Loading spaces shall be provided and maintained on the same
premises with every building, structure, or part thereof erected,
occupied, enlarged or intended to be used, involving the receipt or
distribution by vehicles of material or merchandise.
A.
Such space shall be adequate for standing, loading, and unloading
services, in order to avoid undue interference with use of public
transportation.
B.
Loading and unloading space shall not be occupied or considered as
any part of the required off-street parking.
C.
All business districts shall include a ten-foot by twenty-five-foot
loading space with a fourteen-foot height clearance for every 20,000
square feet or fraction thereof of building floor or land use for
the above-mentioned purposes.
Off-street parking facilities shall adhere to the following:
A.
Off-street parking space shall be provided as further specified in
this chapter and shall be furnished with necessary passageways and
driveways. All such space shall be deemed to be required space on
the lot on which it is situated and shall not be encroached upon or
reduced in any manner. All parking areas, passageways, and driveways
(except where provided in connection with one-family residences) shall
be surfaced with a dustless, durable, all-weather pavement, clearly
marked for car spaces, and shall be adequately drained, all subject
to the approval of the Code Enforcement Officer.
B.
For the purpose of this chapter, a parking space shall be an area
10 feet wide and 20 feet long, exclusive of passageways and driveways
appurtenant thereto and providing access thereto.
C.
None of the off-street parking facilities as required in this chapter
shall be required for any existing building or use, unless said building
or use shall be enlarged.
D.
The collective provision of off-street parking areas by two or more
buildings or uses located on adjacent lots is permitted, provided
that the total of such facilities shall not be less than the sum required
of the various buildings or uses computed separately, and further
provided that the land upon which the collective facilities are located
is owned or leased by one or more of the collective users.
E.
All parking areas and appurtenant passageways and driveways serving
commercial uses shall be illuminated adequately during the hours between
sunset and sunrise when the use is in operation. Adequate shielding
shall be provided by commercial users to protect adjacent residential
districts from the glare of such illumination and from that of automobile
headlights.
F.
Access drives or walkways to any B or I District through any R District
shall not be permitted as this would constitute an illegal use of
residentially zoned land.
G.
Off-street parking areas located in commercial districts and which
provide parking for 20 or more vehicles shall be provided with shade
trees of a type approved by the Code Enforcement Officer and located
not greater than 60 feet on center.
The location of newspaper, Pennysaver and other delivery boxes
shall be prohibited within the boundaries of the streets and roads
in the Village of Angola, except at residences where the United States
Postal Service maintains roadside-mounted postal deliveries.
