				  than one use, and the floor area for each use is below the minimum requiring a
				  loading space, as set forth in the table below, the required loading space or
				  spaces shall be determined by taking the aggregate floor area of the several
				  uses and applying the requirements of the use category requiring the greatest
				  number of loading spaces.

				  required, the minimum horizontal dimensions of at least half of the required
				  spaces shall be 12 x 35 feet and have a vertical clearance of at least fourteen
				  feet. The balance of the required spaces shall have horizontal dimensions of at
				  least 19 x

				  clearance not less than the applicable height for the loading space;
(5) All loading spaces and maneuvering areas

(6) Where loading areas are illuminated, all
				  sources of illumination shall be shielded to prevent any direct reflection
				  toward adjacent premises;
(7)
				  Loading spaces for three or more vehicles shall be arranged so that no
