2. Sec. 155.5101.G.8. requires the provision of Vehicle Stacking Space. Gateway driveways must provide a minimum of 3 stacking spaces. Otherwise, the applicant must include a visible note in the Site Plan, explaining the proposed gates will remain completely open during the business hours. (Note 3).
