Plans and specifications

Detailed plans shall be submitted to the Building Official to show how the off-street loading space shall be arranged and to indicate sufficient space for maneuvering, as well as adequate ingress and egress to and from the street, before any permits are issued or approved. Off-street loading spaces must meet the following specifications:

• A. Such loading space shall be located and designed so as to prevent the intrusion of loading or unloading vehicles onto any street or sidewalk during loading or unloading. In no case shall any of the required off-street loading space be part of the area used to fulfill the off-street parking requirement associated with the use of land or structure.
• B. Off-street loading space and access drives shall be paved, drained and lighted and shall have appropriate bumper or wheel guards where needed. Any light used for illumination shall be so arranged as to reflect the light away from adjoining premises and streets.
• C. Where any off-street loading space adjoins or abuts a Residence District or a lot or premises used for residential, educational, recreational or religious purposes, there shall be provided a buffer as described in § 185-79B between the off-street loading space and the Residence District or lot used for residential, educational, recreational or religious purposes.
