3.4.3 Driveways
3.4.4 Servicing&Loading Areas
• New driveways and curb cuts are not recommended for developments within the Main Street Area. All such developments should be accessed by existing rear lanes, new lanes, or adjacent properties. • Curb cuts should be minimized within all other character areas. This will increase opportunities for landscaping treatments and will create more continuous pedestrian access. • Service driveways should be coordinated with those of surface parking lots and delivery, loading and refuse areas should be coordinated and large enough to accommodate the needs of all users. • Corner lots should generally have driveway access from minor streets. • Permeable surfaces are encouraged to minimize runoff. • In Residential Areas, driveways, as well as curb cuts, should be no wider than the width of the garage, which should be limited to 50% of the width of the dwelling.
• Loading docks and service areas should be located at the side or rear of buildings and should be screened from public view. • Servicing enclosures should be constructed of materials that complement the main building. • Service and refuse areas should be paved with an impervious surface of asphalt or concrete to minimize the potential for infiltration of harmful materials. • Service and refuse areas should not encroach into the exterior side or front yard setback. • Loading and servicing areas may occupy the full rear yard if adequate landscape edge and buffer treatments are provided.
