Required loading space. On the same premises with every building or structure involving the receipt or dispatch of vehicles as a necessity for, or incidental to, the operation, or use of the building, there shall be provided and maintained adequate space for standing, loading and unloading services, in order to avoid undue interference with public use of streets, or alleys. Each such space shall have a minimum clear height of fifteen (15) feet and shall be a minimum of fourteen (14) feet wide by forty (40) feet long, where vans are to be received, or a minimum of fourteen (14) feet wide by sixty (60) feet long, where tractors and semitrailers are to be received.

The entire loading area shall be paved and graded to properly drain.
