A. Off-Street Parking. “Off-street parking” is defined as parking on privately owned property. The regulations concerning off-street parking are intended to reduce the need for parking on streets and the traffic congestion and hazards caused thereby, and to provide for off-street parking adequate to each type of development, both in terms of amount and location. All parking space requirements set forth in this chapter shall be met prior to the occupancy of buildings and shall be satisfactorily maintained for each use listed in this chapter.

B. Off-Street Loading. To avoid damage to the streets and hazards to the pedestrians and congestion on the streets, it is required that spaces in the form of off-street loading berths be provided on the same lot as the building to be served by the delivery or loading of goods, and that such berths be adequate in size and number to provide the service needed without affecting adjacent properties, public streets or public rights-of-way. (Ord. 573 § 2, 1990).
