Parking spaces shall be provided for each building located in the Local Business District either in the front yard or within 300 feet of the zoning lot on a site approved by the Building Commissioner according to the following schedule:
(A) Retail and office uses. One parking space for each 125 square feet of building floor area.
(B) Public and all other uses. One parking space for each employee per working shift, one space for each six auditorium seats, one space for each member of a club lodge, or other association including a golf course, subject to review and approval of the Board of Zoning Appeals who may modify the required number of spaces.
(C) Loading space requirements. All businesses shall designate a minimum of one loading berth or designated loading/unloading area, which shall be reviewed and approved by the Building Commissioner.
(D) Combined (group) parking encouraged. Businesses are encouraged to join together to provide combined parking where possible. The Board of Zoning Appeals may modify the total aggregate combined parking requirement where evidence of business use indicates that the peak demand would allow shared parking to fulfill the demand generated by the individual businesses without overflowing the number of parking spaces.
(E) Parking surface to be hard surface. Parking areas and driveways subject to vehicular traffic shall be paved with a dustproof or hard surface.
(F) Screening of parking areas. The Building Commissioner may permit the use of a fence, berm or landscaping for the purpose of totally screening parking areas from view from an abutting residential zoned property.
(G) Handicapped parking requirements. The number and location of designated handicapped parking spaces shall conform with applicable federal and state requirements. The location of such designated spaces shall be approved by the Building Commissioner.
