Lighting of Parking Areas. All artificial lighting used to specifically illuminate any parking space, loading bay, maneuvering space, or driveway shall be so arranged that all direct rays from such lighting fall entirely within the parking or loading area and shall be shielded so as not to shine upon abutting properties or streets. The level of illumination of lighting for parking and loading areas shall be low so as to reduce the flow of ambient lighting perceptible at nearby properties or streets. 6. Location and Layout of Parking Facilities. a) Proximity to Principal Use 72 2008 ANNUAL TOWN MEETING MOTION BOOK Required off-street parking spaces and loading bays shall be provided on the same lot as the principal or accessory use they are required to serve, except as allowed under Section 8.1.8(d). b) Parking in Structures. Require off-street parking spaces or loading bays may be wholly or partly enclosed in a structure. When partly enclosed in a structure, such as in a building on support beams or stilts which are readily visible from a street, all sides of such a building directly facing streets must be fully enclosed with fixed building materials and/or sufficient natural buffering so as to screen the structured parking areas from the streets. c) Parking on Rights-of-Way. No parking area or aisles shall be laid out on land, which is reserved as a vehicular right-of-way, whether developed or undeveloped, and whether public or private unless otherwise permitted as provided in Section 8.1.4. d) Parking in Required Setbacks.

No single section of parking may contain more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total proposed parking spaces or more than fifty (50) spaces, whichever is less. As a method of division, 6'wide parking lot islands shall be installed to provide the proper break between adjacent parking lots. For projects which require less than fifty (50) spaces in total, the Planning Board may allow fifty (50) spaces to be located together if an effective visual buffer is provided. Each landscaped island must be 6' in width at the minimum. In locations where the possibility exists to enlarge the entire island or portions thereof, the Planning Board would recommend that such measures be taken. f) Residential Zoning Districts. i. For single-and multi-family dwellings,the front yard shall not be used for parking for accessory uses. ii.

Exceptions. The regulations of this section shall not apply to residential and non-residential uses or structures whose minimum parking under the above schedule would amount to five (5) parking spaces or less. 8. Special Permits. The Planning Board as SPGA, may grant a Special Permit modifying certain parking/loading standards of this Section and/or Section 8.4 (Screening and Landscaping Requirements for Off-Street Parking), but only in the specific circumstances listed under "a" through"h"below. The SPGA may grant such special permit only when: (a) consistent with the purposes set forth in Section 8.1; (b) making the findings and determinations set forth in Section 10.3; (c)making a finding that the requested relief falls within one or more of the categories for the specific relief requested(any of cases "a"through"h"below); and, (d) upon a determination that the relief does not cause detriment to the surrounding neighborhood based upon any of the following applicable criteria: (i) Increase in traffic volumes, (ii) Increased traffic congestion or queuing of vehicles, (iii) Change in the type(s)of traffic, (iv) Change in traffic patterns and access to the site, (v) Reduction in on-street parking;and/or, (vi) Unsafe conflict of motor vehicle and pedestrian traffic. If a proposed development or project seeking a Special Permit pursuant to this Section 8.1.8 also requires the granting of a Site Plan Approval Special Permit pursuant with Section 8.3 (Site Plan Review),the conditions and requirements under this Section 8.1 shall be incorporated into and combined as a single application,review,and approval process for a Site Plan Review Special Permit issued in accordance with Section 8.3. The surface of the area where parking spaces may be reduced under a Special Permit for this section shall be suitable landscaped but shall not be used for purposes of satisfying the Usable Open Space requirements under the Zoning Bylaw. Circumstances under which the SPGA may grant a Special Permit pursuant to this Section 8.1.8 are as follows: a) Modification of Parking Requirements for Non-Conforming Structures, Lots and Uses. Where the total number of new parking spaces required by this Bylaw is five (5) or fewer for lots or sites that are determined by the Inspector of Buildings to be nonconforming with respect to parking,as specified in Section 8.1. b) Modification of Parking/Loading Area Design Standards. Where the design of a parking lot, loading area or aisle width differs from the provisions of Sections 8.1.5 or other parking provisions in this Zoning Bylaw,provided such design is prepared by a certified professional engineer or architect in the case of a parking garage or other structure, or by a certified professional engineer, architect or landscape architect in the case of a parking lot. Modification of parking design 74 2008 ANNUAL TOWN MEETING MOTION BOOK standards may be permitted to allow"Tandem Parking" (defined as two parking spaces placed one behind another in single file) on a temporary basis for purposes including but not limited to valet parking for restaurant uses, for employee parking, or other purposes upon such terms and conditions as may be acceptable to the Planning Board. c) Municipal Parking Facility. To allow the substitution of space on a particular lot with parking spaces located within a municipal parking lot to satisfy the parking requirements of this Section 8.1.4, provided the municipal parking lot where such parking spaces are located is within a distance of five hundred(500)feet of the building or use (measured from property line to property line), which is intended to be served and demonstration that doing so will not exceed the cumulative peak demand of said municipal parking lot in a manner which is inconsistent with the objectives of Section 8.1. d) Parking on a Separate Lot/Satellite Parking. i) Required off-street parking facilities shall be provided on the same lot or premises as the principal use they are intended to serve, or on a lot in the same ownership adjacent to such use. When practical difficulties, as determined by the SPGA, preclude the establishment of the required parking spaces on such lot or premises (or lot or premises adjacent thereto), the SPGA may allow the establishment of parking on such other lot upon such terms and conditions as the SPGA may deem necessary to ensure the continued availability of such spaces. ii) Where the applicant does not own such other lot, the applicant shall provide executed instruments establishing to the satisfaction of the SPGA that sufficient legal interest has been acquired in such premises to assure their availability for required parking as long as the use served is in existence. The provision of satellite (remote)parking areas,provided that: 1. The satellite parking spaces will be used solely by the employees and, where practicable,the clientele of the []use;AMENDMENT— [] -COMMERCIAL 2. The off-site parking spaces shall be located to adequately serve the proposed use and shall be within six hundred (600) feet of the property served for clientele of the commercial use as measured from property line to property line; and, 3. Off-site parking for employees of the business may be located within a distance of one thousand two hundred (1,200) feet, provided that shuttle vehicle arrangements are provided as a condition of the approval. e) Common Parking Areas and Multiple Use Facilities i) Notwithstanding the normal provisions of Section 8.1.4, where two or more activities or uses provide the required parking or loading in a common parking facility or loading area, the number of parking spaces or loading bays ordinarily required may be reduced below the sum of the spaces or bays required for separate activities or uses, if it can be determined that the hours, days, or peak parking or loading demand for the uses are so different that a lower total will provide adequately for all uses or activities served by the parking facility or loading bay, and that the location of the parking facility in relation to the uses proposed to be served by it is appropriate. 75 2008 ANNUAL TOWN MEETING MOTION BOOK ii) A Special Permit authorizing such deviation from the normal standard shall only be granted upon submission of calculated parking demand for combined land uses based on methodologies and indices of the Institute of Transportation Engineers, Urban Land Institute, or other recognized methodology approved in writing by the Planning Board. A formal parking demand study may be waived by the SPGA for small developments where there is established experience with the land use mix and its impact is expected to be minimal. iii) Where such facilities are shared by more than two (2) owners, the applicant shall provide executed and filed instruments with the Registry of Deeds establishing to the satisfaction of the SPGA that sufficient legal interest has been acquired in such premises to assure that the property(s) have a shared parking arrangement or peak hour parking arrangement and the availability for required parking as long as the uses served are in existence. f) Land Banked Parking. To reduce the area of impervious surface, encourage open space, accommodate future changes in land use and/or ownership, and shifts in shared parking demand,up to forty percent(40%) of the land area that would otherwise be needed to provide the required amount of parking may be land banked or set aside on the site to provide for the future construction of a parking area. The parking facility shall be designed/engineered to enable the site to satisfy the requirements of the Section 8.1 to meet the peak demands of the project(s) or use(s). Where it can be demonstrated by the applicant in the future that there is a need to convert all or a portion of the land-banked parking facilities because parking demand is in excess of 80%of parking supply on the property,then the applicant may convert the requisite number of land banked parking spaces to functioning parking spaces. For purposes hereof, parking demand shall be demonstrated through a report of the applicant's (or the then current owner's traffic engineering consultant),as the case may be, certifying that at any time during the four- hour peak demand period on a weekday or Saturday, the actual parking demand and utilization is in excess of 80%of parking supply on the property, with actual field site observations being conducted on two separate days during any consecutive 45-day period. Upon the Planning Board's determination the applicant has established the requisite parking need, and upon submission of the report to the Planning Board, the Planning Board may allow the conversion of all or a portion of the land-banked parking. g) Reduction in Parking. Where it can be demonstrated that a use or establishment needs a lesser number of parking spaces or loading bays than is required by Section 8.1.4, such as housing for persons with disabilities, low rate of vehicle ownership, the availability and implementation of transportation demand management alternatives, or other such circumstances as may be deemed appropriate by the Planning Board, the number of such parking spaces or bays may be reduced by not more than thirty-five percent (35%). An applicant shall submit documentary evidence satisfactory to the SPGA that the parking or loading experience of the specific use justifies a lesser number of spaces or bays. A Special Permit granted under this authority shall lapse upon change to a 76 2008 ANNUAL TOWN MEETING MOTION BOOK different type of use unless otherwise determined by the Planning Board, and shall not be considered to constitute a legal nonconformity with respect to parking for any new use. h) Modification of Screening and Landscaping Requirements for Off-Street Parking. Where it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Planning Board that a plan for screening and landscaping would be enhanced without detriment to the surrounding neighborhood through the waiver or modification of one or more of the screening, landscaping and other criteria set forth under Section 8.4. And in conjunction herein, amend Section 8.4 Screening and Landscaping Requirements For Off-Street Parking by deleting the stricken language and adding the following underlined language: 8.4 Screening and Landscaping Requirements for Off-Street Parking Commercial and Industrial Districts(1987/12) For all commercial and industrial districts the following minimum screening and landscaping requirements shall apply for all off-street lots with more than 6 parking spaces,or in any instance when a commercial or industrial off-street parking area of any size abuts a residential district. 1. A strip of land at least six(6) feet wide (may be part of required yard setbacks)with trees or shrubs densely planted, to create at least an impervious screen, at least four (4) feet high at the time of planting and which are of a type that may be commonly expected to form a year round impervious screen at least five(5)feet high within three years. 2. If a natural screen as described in item 1 above cannot be attained,a wall or fence of uniform appearance at least five (5) feet high above finished grade will be allowed. Such a wall and/or fence may be perforated,provided that not more than 25%of the face is open. 3. All required screening, as described in items 1 and 2 above, shall be maintained in good condition at all times. Such screening may be interrupted by entrances or exits, and shall have no signs attached thereto other than those permitted in the district. For all off-street parking areas of 20 or more spaces the following criteria shall also apply. 4. On at least three sides of the perimeter of an outdoor parking lot, there shall be planted at least one tree for every thirty (30) linear feet. In the interior part of an outdoor parking lot where two rows of parking spaces containing a total of 10 or more parking spaces face each other, a landscaped open space not less than 6 feet in width shall be provided. The landscaped strip may be provided either; 1) between the rows of parking spaces parallel to the aisle or, 2) in two or more strips parallel to the spaces and extending from the aisle serving one row of spaces to the aisle serving the other row of spaces, as illustrated below. Trees required by this section shall be at least 3.5 inches in diameter at a height four feet above the ground at time of planting and shall be of a species characterized by suitability and hardiness for location in parking lot. To the extent practicable,existing trees shall be retained and used to satisfy this section. The following graphics are intended as illustrations and 77 2008 ANNUAL TOWN MEETING MOTION BOOK examples only and have not been incorporated into the requirements of this Bylaw. (See graph after Tables and Footnotes at end of Bylaw). 5. All artificial lighting used to illuminate any commercial or industrial parking lot,loading bay or driveway shall have underground wiring and shall be so arranged that all direct rays from such lighting falls entirely within the parking,loading or driveway area,and shall be shielded or recessed so as not to shine upon abutting properties or streets. Village Commercial Dimensional Requirements In the Village Commercial Zoning District the following requirements shall be adhered to. The following requirements are only to be placed upon the Village Commercial Zoning District and shall take the place of the proceeding regulations found in paragraph 1-5 below: Screening Objective: Due to the high aesthetic standards to which the architecture shall be made to conform, the main purpose of the screening shall be to screen the parking and other accessory structures which may be a part of the development, the Planning Board may require any additional screening as may be reasonably required. a. All buffer zones must be designed by a registered landscape architect, or other professional as approved by the Planning Board. b. The Planning Board recommends that materials to be used in the buffer include but not limited to the following material: Natural/existing vegetation, natural topography, berms, stone walls, fences, deciduous and coniferous shrubs/trees,perennials, annuals,pedestrian scale walkways, gazebos and other landscape material as it addresses the aesthetic quality of the site. The final approval of all material used within the buffer zone shall be at the discretion of the Planning Board. c. Parking lots containing 10 or more spaces shall be required to provide one tree for every five spaces. All trees shall be a deciduous mix of at least 2.5 inch caliper when planted. Native trees and shrubs shall be planted wherever possible,in order to capture the "spirit of the locale" through indigenous species (such as lilac, vibumum, day lilies, ferns, red twig dogwood, oak, maple, sycamore, linden, hawthome, birch, shadbush, etc.). In instances where healthy plant material exists on the site prior to its development, in part or in whole, for purposes of off street parking or other vehicular use areas,the Planning Board may adjust the application of the above mentioned standards to allow credit for such plant material if, in its opinion, such an adjustment is in keeping with and will preserve the intent of these standards. d. To produce parking which is aesthetically pleasing,well screened, accessible and broken into smaller parcels that may directly and adequately service adjacent structures, a minimum of 5%landscaping and green space must be provided for all parking areas. This 5% is not intended to include the buffer zones, but shall include all internal landscaped islands in the parking areas. In all instances where natural topography lends itself to the screening of these parking areas it shall be left in its natural state. The Planning may at their discretion require additional screening at the owner's expense. 78 2008 ANNUAL TOWN MEETING MOTION BOOK Residential Districts Commercial vehicles in excess of one(1)ton capacity shall be aged or screened from view of residential uses within three hundred(300)feet by either: a. A strip at least four (4) feet wide, densely planted with trees or shrubs which are at least four(4) feet high at the time of planting and which are of a type that ma be epected to form a year-round dense screen at least six(6 feet high within three(3)years,or b. An opaque wall,barrier,or fence of uniform appearance at least five(5)feet high,but not more than seven (7) feet above finished grade. Such screening shall be maintained in good condition at all times, and shall not be permitted to exceed seven feet in height within required side yards. Such screening or barriers may be interrupted by normal entrances or exits and shall not be required within ten(10)feet of a street lot line. c. Garaging or off-street parking of an additional two (2) commercial vehicles may be allowed by Special Permit. When it is deemed to be in the public og_od, parking for additional pleasure vehicles may be allowed by pecial Permit. Planning Board Article 39.
