18.164.330: LOADING SPACE; GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:
   A.   Every hospital, institution, hotel, commercial or industrial building hereafter erected or established shall have and maintain loading space as provided in section 18.164.340 of this article.
   B.   When the lot upon which the loading space is located abuts upon an alley, such loading space shall adjoin and have access from the alley. The length of the loading space may be measured perpendicular to or parallel with the centerline of the alley. Where the loading space is parallel with the alley, the loading space shall extend across the full width of the lot, except that if only two (2) spaces are required, the length of the loading area need not exceed fifty feet (50').
   C.   Where the loading area abuts a street, the front yard required in the district may be used in calculating the area required for loading, providing that there is not more than one entry or exit to a sixty foot (60') lot, or fraction thereof.
   D.   Loading space being maintained in connection with any existing main building on the effective date hereof shall thereafter be maintained so long as the building remains, unless an equivalent number of such spaces are provided on a contiguous lot in conformity with the requirements of this chapter; provided, however, that this regulation shall not require the maintenance of more loading space than is hereby required for a new building, nor the maintenance of such space for any type of main building other than those specified above.
   E.   Loading space required by this title may occupy a required rear yard, but in no case shall any part of an alley or street be used for loading. (Ord. 1000 § 41.00, 1955)
