[Adopted 11-1-1995 as L.L. No. 6-1995]
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Great Neck Plaza hereby finds that it will serve the health, welfare and safety of the village and its residents to regulate deliveries by vehicle to and from high-volume retail stores where such stores and/or their loading and service bays are contiguous with streets adjoining residential buildings.
One- and two-family homes and all multiple dwellings used for living purposes which contain three or more units.
Any building or a portion of a building devoted to a single use occupancy used and/or rented for retail sales, services and other similar activities, including restaurants, bars and food service businesses.
HIGH-VOLUME USE
The use of any retail store which requires servicing by five or more delivery vehicles on a daily basis.
Any commercial vehicle delivering or picking up goods from a retail store.
All high-volume retail stores with a total floor area in excess of 30,000 square feet where such stores and/or their loading and service bays are contiguous with streets adjoining residential buildings are required to regulate the deliveries and pickups by delivery vehicles to assure that such streets are not used for the parking, standing or unloading of delivery vehicles while said vehicles are delivering or waiting to deliver to, or picking up or waiting to puck up from, such retail stores. The following criteria shall apply for all retail stores in this category:
Sufficient space shall be provided in an off-street loading bay area to accommodate the loading and unloading of all delivery vehicles serving the premises. Included in this space shall be sufficient stacking space to allow all delivery vehicles waiting to load or unload to be accommodated within such off-street loading bay area.
If sufficient stacking space cannot be provided within the loading bay area, then sufficient off-street stacking space shall be provided elsewhere on the property where the retail store is located to accommodate all delivery vehicles waiting to deliver to or pick up from the retail store. If it is required that delivery vehicles must traverse public streets adjoining residential buildings in order to travel from such stacking space to the loading bay, then the owner, tenant or lessee shall provide uniformed personnel to monitor and regulate the traffic of delivery vehicles between the stacking area and the loading bays so as to assure that trucks and delivery vehicles not park, stand or congregate on the public street while awaiting their turn to load or unload at the loading bay. Uniformed personnel shall be stationed at the stacking area and at the loading bay and shall be equipped with two-way radios to maintain communication so that delivered vehicles, trucks and vans can be individually directed from the stacking area to the loading bays as they become available.
