(A) All permitted uses requiring truck loading and unloading space for normal operations shall provide adequate loading space so that no vehicle being loaded or unloaded in connection with the normal operations shall stand in or project into any public road.
(B) Size. The applicant shall provide evidence acceptable to the Zoning Administrator that the loading space(s) will be large enough to reasonably accommodate the size of trucks expected to routinely service the use. To serve medium sized trucks, each loading space is intended to be at least 30 feet in length by 12 feet in width by 14 feet in height.
(C) Number. The applicant shall provide evidence acceptable to the Zoning Administrator that the number of off-road loading spaces will be sufficient.
(D) Each required off-road truck-loading berth shall have unobstructed access to a public road. Such access may be combined with access to an off-road parking lot; provided, however, that all berths shall be designed so that maneuvering of trucks to reach the loading dock shall not require the use of any required off-road parking spaces or intrude into any road right-of-way. No off-road loading berth shall be located in any required front yard.
(E) All permitted or required loading berths shall be on the same lot as the use to which they are accessory, except that berths may be provided in spaces designed to serve jointly 2 or more adjacent establishments provided that the number of berths in such joint facilities shall not be less than the total required separately for all such establishments.
