The recommended width <br />of 15 feet is required for loading stalls alongside a wall or other <br />obstruction. <br /> <br />For general commercial developments, the minimum loading stall length shall <br />be 20 feet. For other developments in which trucking is an activity, the <br />minimum stall length shall be 30 feet or equal to the length of the longest <br />trucks and tractor-trailers expected at the facility, whichever is greater. <br /> <br />The depth of the loading apron shall be sufficient to permit trucks to <br />maneuver into and out of the loading stalls. The minimum loading apron <br />depth shall be 25 feet or equal to the length of the loading stall, which- <br />ever is greater. <br /> <br />Loading areas shall be graded to drain surface water to an alley, street <br />or public storm drain. Surface water shall be conducted under any inter- <br />vening public sidewalk by a drain approved by the Public Works Department. <br /> <br />The surface area used for any loading activity shall be paved with not <br />less than 4 inches of asphaltic concrete on 8 inches of crushed rock base, <br />or with 5½ inches of Portland cement concrete. Soil conditions or the <br />nature of the trucking activity may necessitate greater requirements as <br />determined by the Division of Building and Safety and a soils report prepared <br />by a licensed soils engineer. <br /> <br />Each loading space aligned with and directly adjacent to a parking space <br />shall be clearly designated, "LOADING ONLY." <br /> <br />Poured concrete curbs shall be provided at the perimeter of planter areas <br />that abut paved vehicle areas. <br /> <br />A combination of masonry walls and landscaping shall be provided to buffer <br />or screen loading areas from direct public view and from abutting residen- <br />tial properties (see Landscaping). <br /> <br />Ail artificial illumination shall be installed, directed and shielded to <br />confine all direct rays within the property. <br /> <br />Ail loading facility improvements, including the pavement, striping, curbs <br />and landscaping shall be continuously maintained and includes repairs, <br />repainting, replacement and regular cleaning. <br /> <br />- 14 - <br /> <br /> <br />
