Standards relating to off-street parking and off-street loading requirements

In addition to the standards of § 185-73, when reviewing a special use permit application for relief of the requirements of Article XV and Article XVI of this chapter, relating to off-street parking and off-street loading, respectively, the Zoning Board of Review shall require that the applicant demonstrate the following:

• A. That, based upon projected use and level of activity for a given development proposal, strict application of the parking and/or loading requirements would be excessive.
• B. That, as a result of such relief, the proposed development will be enhanced either in terms of visual appearance or through the provision of additional amenities, such as landscaping and buffering, walkways, bicycle racks and/or street furniture; or that there is some clear public or environmental benefit.
• C. That the safe and proper operation of the business will in no way be compromised.
