Parking lot areas shall be designed and constructed to minimize the visual impact of the parking area, minimize production of excess heat and prohibit any adverse effects on drainage. Appropriately sized landscaped areas shall be provided within each parking lot area allowing for a variety of shade trees to be planted. In order to accomplish these goals, all off-street parking lot areas shall be designed and constructed using the "Parking Bay" concept, which consists of parking spaces grouped together, with each Parking Bay separated by landscaped tree islands as further defined in the following sections.
(a) Parking Lot Location: Parking lots must be located a minimum of forty (40) feet from the right-of-way line. Parking lots may encroach into a required internal side or rear setback but in no case shall the parking be closer than five (5) feet to internal lot lines, except in cases where cross access is being provided as determined during site plan approval.
(b) Parking Bays: No Parking Bay shall contain more than forty-eight (48) parking spaces, with a maximum of twenty-four (24) spaces in a single row.
(1) Parking Lot Islands: Each landscape island in a single loaded parking stall design shall have a minimum area of one hundred sixty-two (162) square feet with a minimum width of nine (9) feet. Each landscape island in a double loaded parking stall design shall have a minimum of three hundred twenty-four (324) square feet with a minimum width of nine (9) feet.
(3) Handicap accessible parking spaces shall be provided in accordance with the American with Disabilities Act requirements.
(4) All parking spaces shall be a minimum of nine (9) feet in width and eighteen (18) feet in length measured rectangularly and shall be served by aisleways of a minimum of twenty-four (24) feet in width to permit easy and smooth access to all spaces.
(5) All common areas and adjacent driveways shall be paved with asphalt material or cement and parking spaces shall be striped. The use of gravel for parking lots shall be prohibited.
(6) Loading Spaces:
A. All loading spaces should be located to the side or rear of the principal structure and screened in accordance with Section 1145.06(d) and are prohibited on any façade facing a public right-of-way.
B. A loading space shall consist of a rectangular area adequate for loading and unloading and be accessible from a maneuvering area.
C. All loading spaces and maneuvering areas shall be located on the same Lot as the use they are intended to serve.
D. A required loading space shall have a clearance height of not less than fifteen (15) feet and shall have minimum dimensions of not less than twelve (12) feet in width and fifty (50) feet in length, exclusive of any driveway, aisle, or other circulation area.
E. The following requirements represent the minimum number of off-street loading or truck bays that must be provided for Advanced Manufacturing and Logistic uses. Other permitted uses in this district are not required to meet these off-street loading space requirements. Sites may incorporate additional off-street loading or truck bays into their site designs based upon market demands, but in no case shall the number of off-street loading spaces or truck bays required for all Advanced Manufacturing and Logistic uses be no less than as set forth in the following:
Under 10,000 square feet = none.
10,000 square feet or more but less than 75,000 square feet = one space.
75,000 square feet or more but less than 150,000 square feet = two spaces.
150,000 square feet or more but less than 300,000 square feet = three spaces
Over 300,000 square feet = one space for each 100,000 square feet or portion thereof.
The loading space requirements for buildings with multiple uses or tenants shall be determined based on the aggregate total of gross floor area of all uses or tenants.
