The purpose of this section is to ensure provision of off-street parking and loading facilities in proportion to the generalized parking, loading, and transportation demand of the different uses allowed by this Ordinance. The standards are further intended to:
A. Provide for adequate off-street parking, off-street loading, and safe movement of vehicles into, out of, and through parking areas;
B. Allow for flexibility to accommodate alternative solutions to off-street parking and loading needs, where such flexibility is consistent with the Town's adopted policy guidance;
C. Reduce the aesthetic impact of surface parking lots in gateway corridors, downtown, and mixed-use areas through standards addressing on-site parking lot locations;
D. Avoid excessive paved surface areas and the resulting problems associated with stormwater runoff and urban heat islands; and
E. Protecting compatibility between adjacent uses of land and historic resources.
