1355.09 JOINT OR SHARED PARKING.
   (a)   The number of required off-street parking spaces may be eliminated or reduced if there exists within 500 feet of the church, synagogue or house of worship, public or private parking lots containing a sufficient number of off-street parking spaces to satisfy the requirements of this section. The church, synagogue or house of worship shall provide the difference if the number of parking spaces in the private or public lots is below the number required. Any spaces provided in public or private lots shall be shown to be available for worshippers on the day or days of greatest use. A written agreement between the owner of the parking lot and the church, synagogue or house of worship shall be provided to the Planning Commission.
   (b)   Recognizing that land uses can have different principal operating hours, the Planning Administrator may approve joint or shared parking when the nature of the parking demands of two types of uses warrants consideration. Up to fifty percent of the off-street parking spaces required by this section may be supplied in connection with another permitted use in close proximity that is not normally open, used or operated during the principal operating hours of the second use. A letter to the Planning Administrator is required establishing the rights of each use in question to the use of such joint parking area so long as such use exists and is filed with the certificate of Zoning Compliance.
1355.10 MINIMUM NUMBER OF REQUIRED PARKING SPACES PER USE.
   (a)   Off-street parking spaces for principal and accessory uses shall be provided as per Table 9-A below.
   (b)   Where there is more than one use on a site, the number of required off-street parking spaces shall be the sum of required parking spaces for each use.
   (c)   The basis for floor area formulas in Table 9-A shall be gross floor area. The basis for seating capacity formulas or space-per-person formulas in Table 9-A shall be the maximum allowed occupancy of each separate proposed use.

      (7)   Major truck repair work and/or service of any kind are not allowed in loading areas.
      (8)   Multi-tenanted structures shall be designed so as to allow access to all tenants to a common loading area.
   (b)   Location Requirements
      (1)   Loading areas, including accessory trailer parking areas, shall be allowed only in rear yards. Where this is not possible due to site layout reasons, such as unsafe or inadequate manueverability, such areas may be located in the side yard(s).
      (2)   All loading areas or facilities shall be located on the same lot as the use served.
      (3)   There shall be no loading in a yard abutting a public street.
      (4)   All loading areas shall be located so as to minimize danger of access to the loading area. No loading area shall be located near an open ditch.
      (5)   All entrances and exits to loading areas shall be located in a safe and convenient pattern with minimal impact on traffic movement on adjacent streets. Entrances and exits shall not be located within the required line-of- sight triangle of an intersection, nor may they be located within forty feet of the nearest point of intersection of any two streets or highways.
   (c)   Design Requirements
      (1)   The design of loading areas shall comply with current American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) templates.
      (2)   Loading areas may be open to the sky, if located in a rear yard, or enclosed within a building.
      (3)   All loading areas and their aisles shall be curbed and shall be fully paved or improved with a compacted select gravel base, not less than seven inches thick, and surfaced with an all-weather dustless material.
      (4)   Loading areas and their aisles shall be graded, surfaced, drained, and suitably maintained as required by BOCA/UCC.
      (5)   All loading areas shall be properly screened and landscaped in accordance with Sections 1355.05, 1355.06 and 1355.07.
      (6)   All loading areas shall be properly lit in accordance with Section 1355.08.

      (9)   Loading Berth Requirements. The minimum requirements for the number and size of loading berths are given below in Table 9-B. The requirements are based on the gross floor area of the building(s). Where a use is required to have off-street loading but is located in a building with less gross floor area than the required minimum, the Zoning Administrator or the Planning Commission shall nevertheless require adequate off-street loading on the same lot.
