§ 46-661. Off-street loading and unloading.

On the same premises with every building, structure, or part thereof, involving the receipt or distribution of vehicles, materials or merchandise, there shall be provided and maintained on the lot, adequate space for standing, loading and unloading in order to avoid undue interference with public uses of dedicated rights-of-way. Such space shall be provided as follows:

(1)

Loading space shall be provided in the rear yard of all uses located in all commercial districts, except B-2 districts, in the ratio of at least 100 square feet per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area and shall be computed separately from the off-street parking requirements, but in no case shall more than 1,500 square feet of loading area be required.

(2)

In the instance of OS-1 districts, loading space shall be provided in the ratio of 50 percent of the space required for other commercial districts. Where an alley exists at the rear of a building, loading requirements may be computed from the center of said alley.
