§ 190-110. Off-street parking.

In all districts in connection with every manufacturing, business, institutional, recreational, residential or any other use, there shall be provided, at the time any new building or structure is erected, paved off-street parking spaces open to the public at no charge for automobiles in accordance with the requirements set forth herein.

A. 

Change of use or change in intensity of use. If the use of the building or structure erected on or after the effective date of this chapter is changed to another use which requires more off-street parking spaces than required for the original use, additional off-street paved parking spaces shall be provided in the amount necessary to conform to this section, unless waived by the Planning and Zoning Board.

B. 

Size and access. Each off-street parking space shall have an area of not less than 200 square feet, exclusive of access drives or aisles, and shall be of usable shape and condition. Except in the case of dwellings, no parking areas provided hereunder shall be established for less than three spaces.

(1) 

There shall be adequate provisions for ingress and egress to all parking spaces. Where a lot does not abut on a public or private alley or easement of access, there shall be provided an access drive not less than 10 feet in width in the case of a dwelling, and not less than 20 feet in width in all other cases, leading to the parking or storage areas or loading or unloading spaces required hereunder in such manner as to secure the most appropriate development of the property in question, but such easement of access or access drive shall not be located in any R District which shall provide access to uses other than those permitted in such R District.

(2) 

Access to off-street parking areas shall be limited to several well-defined locations, and in no case shall there be permitted unrestricted access along the length of the street or alley upon which the parking area abuts.

(3) 

Access to off-street parking areas for 25 or more cars shall be so designed as to provide ingress and egress by right turns only.

C. 

Number of parking spaces required. The number of off-street parking spaces required shall be as set forth in the Off-Street Parking Schedule (§ 190-111). In the case of any building, structure or premises, the use of which is not specifically mentioned herein, the provisions for a use which is so mentioned and to which said use is similar, in the opinion of the Planning Board, shall apply.

D. 

Location of off-street parking. All permitted and required accessory off-street parking spaces, open or enclosed, shall be located on the same lot as the use to which such spaces are accessory, except that such spaces may be provided elsewhere, but shall be provided within a radius of no greater distance than 200 feet from that lot, and provided further, that required spaces are provided off the site in accordance with the provisions set forth herein, and that such spaces shall be in the same ownership as the use to which they are accessory and shall be subject to deed restrictions filed in an office of record, binding the owner and his heirs and/or assigns to maintain the required number of spaces available throughout life of such use, and such spaces shall conform to all regulations of the district in which they are located.

E. 

Development and maintenance of parking and loading areas. Every parcel of land hereafter used as a public or private parking area or loading area, including a commercial parking lot and also an automobile or trailer sales lot, shall be developed and maintained in accordance with standards adopted by the Planning Board entitled "Standards for the Development and Maintenance of Off-Street Parking and Loading Areas."
