h. Circulation and Loading. The site design must accommodate adequate turning radius and vertical clearance for a semi-trailer truck. Designated loading areas must be exclusive of off-street parking stalls and drive aisles. A site plan must be provided to illustrate adequate turning radius, using appropriate engineering templates. • Truck circulation is vital to safe and efficient movement on the site. The truck turning radii submitted on August 30 shows adequate circulation for the Lake Drive access driveway. L Parking. 1) Parking spaces shall be calculated solely based upon the use(s) and the square footage of the principal building(s). • The zoning ordinance lists the minimum number of parking stalls for different uses. The ordinance does have a separate parking requirement for motor fuel stations but the convenience store must be calculated as retail, which is a higher requirement. Either way, "parking at fuel pumps shall not be allowed to satisfy the parking requirements." The table shows the calculations.
