(A) Loading berth. An off-street loading berth shall be a hard-surfaced area of land, open or enclosed, other than a street or a public way, used principally for the standing, loading or unloading of motor trucks, tractors and trailers so as to avoid undue interference with the public use of streets and alleys. A required loading space shall not be less than 10 feet in width, 45 feet in length, and 14 feet in height, exclusive of access aisles and maneuvering space, except as otherwise specifically dimensioned hereafter.
(B) Location. No permitted or required loading berth shall be closer than 50 feet to any property in a residential district unless completely enclosed by building walls, or a uniformly painted solid fence or wall, or any combination thereof not less than 6 feet in height. No permitted or required loading berth shall be located within 25 feet of the nearest point of intersection of any 2 streets. Loading berths open to the sky may be located in any required yards.
(C) Measurement of berth. When determination of the number of required off-street loading berths results in a requirement of a fractional berth, any fraction up to and including ½ shall be disregarded, and fractions over ½ shall be interpreted as 1 loading berth.
(D) Surfacing. All open off-street loading berths shall be improved with a hard surface or shall be surfaced with a dustless material.
