OFF-STREET LOADING REGULATIONS
§ 152.270 INTENT.
   These off-street loading regulations are intended to provide for the provision of off-street loading areas which are adequate to support the needs of the proposed use and future uses of a site while at the same time assuring that the design and construction of such off-street loading areas meet minimum design standards necessary to provide efficient circulation and prevent undue traffic congestion.
(Ord. 1221, Art. 8.05, passed 1-26-2010)
§ 152.271 LOADING FOR BUILDINGS, STRUCTURES, OR USES.
   All commercial/town center or industrial development or conversions of use for which an improvement location permit is required by this chapter shall provide off-street loading areas in accordance with the regulations in this subchapter.
(Ord. 1221, § 8.05(a), passed 1-26-2010)
§ 152.272 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF LOADING AREAS.
   (A)   The design and construction of all required loading spaces or excess loading spaces shall be in compliance with the stricter of the regulations contained in this section, or the minimum specifications prescribed by the town.
   (B)   The following standards shall apply to the design of off-street loading areas.
      (1)   Loading space dimensions. A required or excess off-street loading space shall be at least 12 feet in width by at least 60 feet in length, exclusive of aisle and maneuvering space, and shall have a vertical clearance of at least 14 feet.
      (2)   Minimum aisle width. Each required off-street loading space shall open directly upon an aisle or interior access drive with a width of at least 35 feet and creating a total maneuvering area, inclusive of the loading space, of at least 105 feet, unless subject to the provisions of division (B)(4) below regarding excess loading spaces.
 
      (3)   Maneuvering. Each maneuvering area, aisle and interior access drive utilized to access a required loading space or an excess loading space shall be so designed and located as to provide safe and efficient ingress/egress to each loading space and so that trucks do not back from or into a public street, or onto an adjoining property (unless the subject property and the adjoining property are located within the same integrated center or industrial park and such maneuvering area is subject to a recorded easement allowing the maneuvering).
      (4)   Design of excess loading areas. Any use which provides loading spaces at a rate of greater than 4 loading spaces, and more than 2 times the minimum required by this chapter, shall provide a total maneuvering area of at least 105 feet which is separate and distinct from the minimum aisle width requirement of 35 feet.
      
 
      (5)   Alternate design for loading areas. In those instances where insufficient area exists to provide for perpendicular loading spaces as allowed by division (B)(2) or division (B)(4) above, angled or parallel loading spaces may be proposed, provided:
         (a)   The design of the loading area shall include either a 1-way traffic pattern or orients the loading spaces so that traffic flow from the loading spaces is in the direction of traffic movement on the side of aisle on which the loading spaces are located;
         (b)   The loading spaces are accessed by an aisle or interior access drive having a width of not less than 35 feet plus sufficient maneuvering area outside of the aisle of the interior access drive, based upon the angle of the loading spaces, to provide safe and efficient maneuverability; and
         (c)   The design of the angled or parallel loading spaces shall be subject to the approval of the Public Works Director/Town Engineer.
(Ord. 1221, § 8.05(b), passed 1-26-2010)
§ 152.273 LOCATION OF OFF-STREET LOADING SPACES.
   (A)   All off-street loading spaces shall be located on the same lot as the use served.
   (B)   No off-street loading spaces shall be located between the front lot line and the front façade of any portion of the building served; provided, however, in the case of a double frontage lot, off-street loading spaces may be located between a front lot line of a perimeter street and the rear of the building served if: no access is provided across the front lot line; and the yard between the off-street loading spaces and the front lot line is landscaped in compliance with the regulations of §§ 152.185 through 152.194 for a Type C: Full Screening landscaping.
 
 
   (C)   All off-street loading spaces shall be oriented toward a side lot line or rear lot line.
