A. In all commercial and industrial zones and in the O-PA, O-C, and BRP zones, if required by the commission, there shall be located on the site of each building or structure, off-street loading facilities for vehicles. Where, in the opinion of the site plan review committee, a practical difficulty is involved relating to site size, existing development or access, the planning commission may grant an exception to any portion of the requirements necessary to achieve the intent of this section.

No off-street loading berths shall be required for buildings of less than five thousand (5,000) square feet of gross floor area.
B. The location of off-street loading facilities shall be approved by the site plan review committee. (Ord. 2017-01 (part), 2017: prior code § 7501)
