Parking

Specific parking and loading requirements are identified in article VIII of this chapter.

- (1) Off-street parking spaces required for institutional uses shall be located in the EI zone or immediately adjacent thereto.
- (2) When an institution has a noncontiguous campus, parking may be supplied on one part of the campus to meet the parking needs of the other noncontiguous part of the campus provided that a shuttle service is supplied by the institution to move students and staff between the noncontiguous campuses. This provision is applicable only if an institutional master plan, which includes a parking/shuttle plan, has been submitted and approved in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
- (3) Notwithstanding article VIII of this chapter, the planning board as part of its approval of the institutional master plan may:
  - a. Allow sodium vapor lights to be used provided that such lights are aimed and shaded so as not to cast glare or light onto neighboring properties.
  - b. Allow the size of certain parking spaces to be reduced to not less than nine feet in width.
  - c. Modify interior landscaping standards for parking lots, provided that in the EI 35 zone only, any reduced landscaping is replaced elsewhere on the campus in the EI 35 zone and so delineated on the institutional master plan.
- (4) The parking requirements, as to the number of parking spaces required pursuant to subsection 28-251(3) of this chapter, are hereby declared to be an integral part of the nature of the educational institution use and therefore any variance sought from the zoning board from parking requirements shall be deemed to be a use variance.
