A. Commercial or manufacturing loading and unloading facilities shall be designed to be to the rear or side of the building and not visible from the public street. In a manufacturing zone, if the lot dimensions together with the building layout will not allow the necessary loading facility to be placed in the rear or side and there are no other means of access to the rear portion of the building, loading facilities may occur along the front or side facing a street, provided that the building is set back a sufficient distance so that all maneuvering of trucks can occur on the property and not the public right-of-way. Buildings which were constructed prior to 1999 in the DDR Zone and are located on 600 West, 700 West, 800 West, 930 West, 1000 West and 1070 West may maintain the existing docks without modification; however, such docks may be remodeled only if:
1. The resulting dock will not project closer to the street right-of-way than the original construction; or
2. The docks are reconfigured to create an angled dock design and sufficient distance will exist between the dock and street right- of-way so that trailers parked at the dock will not project into the street right-of-way.
B. Loading areas shall be paved with concrete, asphalt or other approved hardened surface.
C. Loading areas shall be sized to accept the largest delivery vehicle that will serve the use, and include turnaround areas or be designed to allow continued forward movement of the vehicle through the site.
