All #developments# providing new docking facilities serving ferries, sightseeing, excursion, sport fishing or passenger ocean vessels, shall provide an area
for the drop-off and pick-up of passengers by car, taxi, van and bus as shown in the table in this Section. Such area shall be located on the #zoning lot# or
on another #zoning lot# in the same or an adjoining #Commercial# or #Manufacturing District#, which is contiguous to the #zoning lot# occupied by the
docking facility, or would be contiguous except for its separation by a #street# or #street# intersection.

Such area shall be accessed by a one-way driveway at least 15 feet wide with separate entranceways and exits located at least 50 feet apart on the same
#street# or located on separate #streets#, provided that no entrance or exit is less than 50 feet from a #street# intersection.

Such area, which may include the driveway on the #zoning lot#, shall be large enough to accommodate the number of vehicles required by the following
table, based on a dimensional allowance of 10 feet by 20 feet for cars, taxis and vans and 12 feet by 50 feet for buses.

The Commissioners of Buildings or Business Services, as applicable, may accept an equivalent lay-by area on a portion of a #street# adjoining the #zoning
lot#, if such #street# treatment and drop-off area is approved by the Department of Transportation.
