Handicapped accessible park- ing. Handicapped accessible stall requirements are determined as provided by state law or rule. (Code 1982, § 900.24(13)) Sec. 30-905. Location, design and construc- tion of loading facilities and overhead doors. (a) Loading facilities required; location. All required loading or unloading into or out of rail- road cars or trucks in excess of three-fourths ton capacity shall be conducted at facilities specifi- cally designed or designated for that purpose. These facilities shall be located upon the lot of the principal use for which they are required. (b) Access to spaces. Each required off-street loading berth and overhead doors shall be so designed as to avoid interference with other ve- hicular, pedestrian or rail access or use of public streets, alleys, or other public transport systems. These areas should include maneuvering area that does not interfere with parking stalls and designated drive aisles. (c) Surfacing, drainage and landscaping; main- tenance. All off-street loading facilities, including loading berths and maneuvering areas, shall be surfaced with one of the following: (1) Asphalt; (2) Concrete; (3) Concrete or other pavers; or (4) Class V compacted to maintain a dustfree surface; and shall be well drained and landscaped and shall be maintained in good condition. § 30-906 (d) Screening. All loading berths and overhead doors shall be screened from view from the public right-of--way, public facility or residential district or use. The screening shall be accomplished by a solid wall not less than six feet in height and shall be so designed as to be architecturally harmoni- ous with the principal structure. Screen plantings and earth berming may be substituted for the prescribed wall; however, such plantings must be of such type as to provide maximum screening during all months of the year. (e) Design. Loading areas and overhead doors should be designed to reflect harmonious compat- ibility with the principal structure. Architectural techniques are encouraged to reduce the visual impacts there may be on adjacent properties or roadways. (Code 1982, § 900.24(14)) Sec. 30-906. Vehicular and pedestrian circu- lation. (a) Generally. All commercial buildings or struc- tures and their accessory uses shall be accessible to and from nearby public streets and sidewalks by driveways and walkways properly drained and paved with: (1) Asphalt; (2) Concrete; (3) Concrete or similar pavers; or (4) Class V (or equivalent) compacted to main- tain adustfree surface. Vehicular traffic generated by commercial uses shall be channeled and controlled in a manner that will avoid congestion on the public streets, traffic hazards, and excessive traffic through res- idential areas, particularly truck traffic. The ad- equacy of any proposed traffic circulation system to accomplish these objectives shall be deter- mined by the city engineer, who may require such additional measures for traffic control as he may deem necessary, including but not limited to the following: directional signalization, channeliza- tion, standby turn lanes, illumination, and stor- age area and distribution facilities within the commercial site to prevent backup of vehicles on public streets.
