(a)When required.
(1)
Off-street loading spaces must be provided in accordance with <em>Table 16-902: Off-Street Loading Requirements</em> for a building, structure, or use that requires the receipt or distribution of materials or merchandise by trucks or other vehicles.
(2)
In the case of multi-tenant buildings or mixed-use developments, required loading spaces are calculated on the basis of each individual tenant. For example, if only 1 commercial tenant of a multi-tenant building is over 10,000 square feet, only one 1 loading space is required; if all tenants are 10,000 square feet or less, no loading is required.
(b)Maximum requirement.
In no case is a structure required to provide more than 5 loading spaces.
(c)Preexisting structures exempt.
All structures that were constructed before June 5, 2017, without on-site loading spaces are considered to be legally conforming in terms of loading space requirements. No new loading spaces are required to be constructed.
