How many loading spaces your property must have

(a) Required number of loading spaces. Off-street loading requirements apply to all zoning lots exceeding 7,500 square feet in lot area for the types of uses specified in Table 21-6.5 . Table 21-6.5 Required Number of Loading Spaces Use or Use Category Floor Area in Square Feet Loading Space Requirements Table 21-6.5 Required Number of Loading Spaces Use or Use Category Floor Area in Square Feet Loading Space Requirements A. General retail, general eating and drinking, wholesale operations, general storage, warehousing, and distribution, general personal services, repair, self-storage 2,000 - 10,000 1 10,001 - 20,000 2 20,001 - 40,000 3 40,001 - 60,000 4 Each additional 50,000 or major fraction thereof 1 B. Hotels, hospitals or similar institutions, places of public assembly 5,000 - 10,000 1 10,001 - 50,000 2 50,001 - 100,000 3 Each additional 100,000 or major fraction thereof 1 C. Offices or office buildings 20,000 - 50,000 1 50,001 - 100,000 2 Each additional 100,000 or major fraction thereof 1 D. Multi-unit dwellings (units) 20 - 150 1 151 - 300 2 Each additional 200 or major fraction thereof 1 (b) Method of calculating the number of required loading spaces. (1) If a building is used for more than one use, and the floor area for each use is less than the minimum floor area that would require a loading space, and the aggregate floor area of the several uses exceeds the minimum floor area of the use category requiring the greatest number of loading spaces, a minimum of one loading space is required. (2) Basements devoted to a use having a loading requirement count towards the total floor area for calculating loading requirements. (3) When computation of the total required loading spaces for a zoning lot results in a number with a fraction of 0.5 or greater, the number of required loading spaces will be the next highest whole number. (c) Special loading requirements. Child and adult daycare and educational uses have special loading requirements. Facilities used for child daycare must provide a pickup and drop off area equivalent to four parking spaces pursuant to § 21-5.70-1(a). K-12 schools with more than 25 students must provide a pickup and drop off area equivalent to four parking spaces pursuant to § 21-5.60-3(a).
