No area in existing right-of- way areas in public roads shall be used to satisfy the parking space requirements.

All commercial and industrial buildings shall have provided an adequate area for loading and unloading, which area shall be exclusive of that area herein required for off-street parking.

Required loading spaces shall have a minimum dear height of 15 feet.

If a use is not listed in the Schedule of Parking Requirements, then the number of required off- street parking spaces becomes the number of spaces required for the use which most nearly approximates the proposed use.

Off-street parking area for more than five automobiles shall be paved and lighted according to the specifications established for this purpose by the borough.

All off-street parking spaces within any parking area shall be clearly marked to show the parking arrangement within said parking area. Line markings shall be maintained by the owner to keep parking spaces visually delineated.

All lighting for off-street parking areas shall be so arranged and shielded as to reflect the light downward and prevent any light from shining directly on adjoining streets and residential zones and buildings.

No new off-street parking or loading spaces shall be located in any required front yard. Expansion of parking spaces or parking areas in the required front yard is prohibited. No new off-street parking or loading spaces shall be located in the public right-of-way.

The requirements for parking and loading areas shall include adequate means of ingress and egress.

No access driveway to a parking or loading area in a business or industrial district shall be located within a residential district. No off-street parking shall be permitted in any zone where the use which it serves is prohibited.

Access to off-street parking areas shall be limited to several well-defined locations. Each of said curb cuts shall not exceed 12 feet in width in a residential district. In a business or industrial district, curb cuts shall not exceed 30 feet for any permitted use. In no case shall there be permitted any unrestricted access along the length of the street or streets upon which the parking area abuts. All driveway aprons and parking access points shall be paved.

The reviewing board may allow a specific number of parking spaces not to exceed 30% of the total parking spaces located in such parking area, to be designated for joint use if it finds that each use will have sufficient parking because the uses operate at different times and the peak periods of use do not coincide. Where the individual uses are under different ownership or control, the continued availability of such spaces shall be guaranteed by a suitable legal instrument which provides for each proposed use, the number of parking spaces to be available and the times when available.
