Each individual loading space or group of loading spaces shall be limited to one two-way curb cut with a maximum width of 24 ft. on the street frontage or two one-way curb cuts with a maximum width of 16 ft. on each street frontage (except for lots designated "CMX-5" located within the area bounded by Spruce Street, Juniper Street, Cypress Street, Watts Street, Pine Street and Broad Street); provided that, for curb cuts on the south side of Fairmount Avenue, between Broad Street and Thirteenth Street, on lots designated "CMX-4," the 24 ft. maximum width shall not apply to a two-way curb cut and a maximum of two two-way curb cuts shall be allowed if the curb cuts are intended to be used for a mixed use development with at least 50,000 gross square feet of space for retail use. As an exception to this standard, when the loading spaces or their access drives have direct access to a street of less than 40 ft. wide, there shall not be a limit imposed on the size of the curb cut(s) to that street. Driveways that cross the public sidewalk must be at the same level as the sidewalk. The driveway material must change at the building line to demarcate the transition to the sidewalk.
