(B) Access: Each required off street loading space must be designed with appropriate means of vehicular access to a street or alley in a manner which will least interfere with traffic movement.

(C) Surfacing: All open off street loading spaces must be improved with pavement and stormwater drainage facilities in accordance with this chapter.

Employee parking maneuver areas may also be used for access to loading docks and as truck standing areas.
(E) Repair And Service: No motor vehicle repair work or service of any kind will be permitted in conjunction with loading facilities provided in any residential or nonresidential zoning districts.
