SECTION 5.10. PARKING AND LOADING
5.10.1. Purpose
The purpose of this section is to ensure provision of off-street parking and loading facilities in proportion to
the generalized parking and loading demand of the different uses allowed by this Ordinance. The standards
in this section are intended to provide for adequate off-street parking and loading while allowing the
flexibility needed to accommodate alternative solutions.
The standards are also intended to achieve Town policies of supporting development and redevelopment of
transit-oriented development and commercial corridors, accommodating appropriate infill development, and
encouraging pedestrian-oriented development while avoiding excessive paved surface areas, promoting
low impact development, and safeguarding historic resources.
