An off-street parking facility provided to comply with the provisions of this section shall not subsequently be reduced below the requirements of this section.

C. All parking areas and appurtenant passageways and driveways serving business uses shall be adequately illuminated during the hours between sunset and sunrise when the use is in operation. Adequate shielding shall be provided by business users to protect adjacent residential zones from the glare of such illumination and from that of automobile headlights.

The establishment and operation of a restricted parking area in such parts of any residence district that abuts a business district is permitted where such areas extend continuously from such business zone for a distance not to exceed 150 feet.

Not more than two curb cuts, of not less than 20 feet nor more than 30 feet in width, used as a means of ingress or egress for nonresidential off-street parking areas, shall be permitted for each 200 feet of frontage on a public street, nor shall any such curb cut be located closer than 50 feet to the intersection of two public streets.

Subject to the general requirement for off-street parking, off-street parking space, with proper access from a street, alley or driveway, shall be provided in all districts in the amounts indicated below. Such parking space shall be provided on any lot on which a dwelling is hereafter erected or converted, or, in the case of any other use, on or near the lot on which any main building is hereafter erected or converted. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the collective provisions for off-street parking facilities for two or more buildings or uses, provided that the total of such off-street parking facilities provided collectively shall not be less than the sum of the requirements for the various individual uses computed separately. In no case shall the number of parking spaces provided, or the area devoted to parking, be less than the minimum requirements of this section.

For every building or structure, or part thereof, having over 4,000 square feet of gross floor area erected and occupied for commerce, hospital, laundry, dry cleaning, places of public and quasi-public assembly, industry and other similar uses involved in the receipt and distribution by vehicles of materials or merchandise, there shall be provided and permanently maintained adequate space for standing, loading and unloading services in order to avoid undue interference with the public use of streets or alleys. Every building, structure or addition thereto having a use which complies with the above definition shall be provided with at least one loading space. One additional truck space of these dimensions shall be provided for every additional 20,000 square feet, or fraction thereof, of gross area in the building.

Access to truck standing, loading and unloading space shall be provided directly from a public street or alley or from any right-of-way that will not interfere with public convenience, and will permit orderly and safe movement of truck vehicles.

Loading space, as required under this section, shall be provided in addition to off-street parking space and shall not be considered as supplying off-street parking space.
