Vehicular access to the site shall only be permitted to the service road parallel to the east side of 82 Street, with no opportunity for access to the lane adjacent to the east property line of the site.
Lighting for the parking area shall be designed so that all illumination is directed downward and is of an intensity that will prevent illumination into the adjacent residential sites to the north and east.
Signs shall be allowed in this district in accordance with Schedule 79A and the general provisions of Sections 79.1 to 79.9, inclusive, of the Land Use Bylaw; however, the Development Officer may allow signs that do not comply with Schedule 79A provided that the signs, in his opinion, relate directly to the accessory parking use and are not obtrusive in appearance.
