SDS 5.12.1 Intent.
Service access and circulation to commercial developments shall be designed to allow use by both emergency and service vehicles.
Standard:
SDS 5.12.2 On-Site Truck Traffic/Loading and Circulation.
- Every shopping center will be required to provide loading and delivery facilities separate from customer parking and pedestrian areas.
- Due to their greater size and lower maneuverability, truck circulation paths should be designed with larger curve radii and more maneuvering room.
- As the size of the development and the volume of trucks increase, internal circulation patterns should reflect an increasing separation between automobile and truck traffic in order to minimize accidents and congestion.
SDS 5.12.3 Emergency Access.
All commercial developments shall comply with the currently-adopted code provisions regarding emergency vehicle access and fire lanes.
