The number, size and location of off-street loading and unloading area shall be provided whenever it is determined by the Planning Department that the nature of the building or use is such that loading areas would be necessary.
A. All loading or unloading areas shall provide a minimum height clearance of 14 feet.
B. Every use involving the receipt or delivery of materials shall provide space for vehicle standing, so loading or unloading will not take place in any public street, alley or right-of-way. Loading and unloading shall be provided in such a manner that backing from a public street with a right-of-way of 86 feet or greater will not be facilitated. Loading and unloading docks and truck wells are prohibited in required front yards along major thoroughfares and/or existing or proposed rights-of-way of 120 feet or greater. Along thoroughfares or rights-of-way of less than 120 feet, below grade loading shall be permitted in the required front yard. In no instance shall above grade or elevated loading be permitted in the required front yard.
C. No area allocated to loading and unloading facilities may be used to satisfy the area requirements for off-street parking, nor shall any portion of any off-street parking area be used to satisfy the area requirements for loading and unloading facilities, except as specifically authorized by this ordinance.
D. Unless otherwise specified, loading and unloading areas shall be provided only in rear yards. Side yard loading may be permitted by the Planning Department when it is determined that such space and loading facilities would not interfere with parking and circulation, either vehicular or pedestrian, or with abutting uses.
E. All loading and unloading areas shall be surfaced, drained and otherwise developed in accordance with the provisions applicable to off-street parking areas (section 23.03).
