§ 113-288. Off-street loading areas required.

(a)

On the same lot with every building, structure or part thereof, erected or occupied for manufacturing, storage, warehouse, truck freight terminal, department store, wholesale store, market, hotel, hospital, mortuary, dry cleaning plant, retail business, or other uses similarly involving the receipt or distribution of vehicles, materials, or merchandise, there shall be provided and maintained adequate space for the standing, loading and unloading of such materials to avoid undue interference with public use of streets, alleys, and parking areas.

(b)

Unless otherwise approved by the zoning administrator, loading spaces shall be a minimum of 14 feet wide, 40 feet long, with 14 feet of height clearance. Such loading area shall be located to the rear of the building unless site design precludes a rear location, in which case loading shall be to the side of a building.

(c)

One off-street loading space shall be provided for the first 10,000 square feet of gross floor area or fractional part thereof for light industrial use and one off-street loading space for the first 5,000 square feet of gross floor area or fractional part thereof for retail or other nonindustrial use for which a loading space is required. One additional space shall be required for each additional 25,000 square feet of gross floor area or fractional part thereof for light industrial use and for each additional 10,000 square feet of gross floor area or fractional part thereof for retail or other nonindustrial use.
