Bristol Borough Ch. 27 requires off-street parking per Table 27-7-A by use type. All parking areas must be separated from roads by raised curbs or barriers. Multiple uses require combined parking calculation. Stormwater management applies to new impervious surfaces.
Bristol Borough zoning (Chapter 27) requires each use to provide off-street parking per Table 27-7-A. Where a proposed use contains multiple types, parking requirements are the sum for each separate use. All off-street parking, loading/unloading, and vehicle storage areas must be physically separated from highways, collectors, or streets by a raised curb, planting strip, wall, or other suitable barrier against unchanneled motor vehicle entrance or exit. New driveways and impervious surfaces are subject to the Borough's grading and excavating regulations (Chapter 9) and stormwater management requirements. Building permits may be required for new driveway construction.
Non-compliant parking areas: zoning violation. Missing barriers between parking and road: correction required.
