In C8 Districts, the City Planning Commission may permit trucking terminals or motor freight stations with sites in excess of 20,000 square feet, provided that the following findings are made:

(a)        that the principal access for such use is not on a local street but is located within one-quarter mile of a secondary or major street;

(b)        that vehicular entrances and exits for such use are provided separately and are located not less than 100 feet apart;

(c)        that such use is not located within 200 feet of a Residence District boundary; and
