(1) No motor vehicle repair work or service of any kind shall be permitted in conjunction with loading facilities provided in any residence or business district.
(2) Space allocated to any off-street berth shall not, while so allocated, be used to satisfy the space requirements for any off-street parking facilities or portions thereof.
(3) For special exceptions other than prescribed for loading berths adequate in number and size to serve the uses as determined by the Zoning Administrator shall be provided.
(4) Uses for which off-street loading facilities are required, but which are located in buildings of less floor area than the minimum prescribed for the required facilities, shall be provided with adequate receiving facilities off any adjacent alley, service drive or open space on the same lot that is accessible by motor vehicle.
(F) Schedule of loading requirements.
(1) All off-street loading spaces shall include an area or means adequate for maneuvering, and site ingress and egress.
