IP District. In the Industrial Park District, no parking area shall be permitted in the front yard area. In the rear yard and side yard areas, the parking area shall not be closer than 15 feet to any rear or side lot line, which fifteen-foot space shall be planted with evergreen trees or thick bushes or hedges of such type and spacing as required by the Planning Board.

(3)

In a particular case, if an applicant for site plan approval can demonstrate that strict enforcement of the minimum parking requirements or the minimum parking stall sizes will cause hardship and that such minimums are not reasonably required for the contemplated use, the Planning Board may waive the strict enforcement of such minimums, provided that the parking stall size shall not be less than nine feet by 18 feet.

(4)

If a use is not permitted in a zone by the requirements of this chapter, the fact that parking standards for such use may be prescribed herein shall not be construed as permitting such use, expressly or by implication.
