(A) General requirements.
(1) Exemption. When the application of the off-street parking provisions specified in division (B) of this section results in a requirement of not more than three spaces on a single zoning lot in any business or industrial district, such parking spaces need not be provided; however, where two or more uses are located on a single zoning lot, only one of those uses shall be eligible for the above exemption.
(2) Location.
(a) All parking spaces required to serve buildings or uses erected or established after the effective date of this chapter shall be located on the same zoning lot as the building or use served, except that parking spaces to serve business or industrial buildings or uses may be located within 200 feet of such use if the spaces are located in a business or industrial district.
(b) Buildings or uses existing on the effective date of this chapter which are subsequently altered or enlarged so as to require the provision of parking spaces under this chapter may be served by parking facilities located on land other than the zoning lot on which the building or use served is located, provided such facilities are within 200 feet walking distance of a main entrance to the use served. Owners of property, nonconforming as to parking, who elect to provide parking and become conforming may locate such parking on land other than the zoning lot on which the building or use is located, as allowed in this section.
(c) 1. Off-street parking spaces, open to the sky, may be located in any yard except the required front yard or corner side yard in a general residence or industrial district. In a single-family residence district not more than two passenger vehicles may be parked in the required front yard or corner side yard. Enclosed buildings and carports containing off-street parking shall be subject to applicable yard requirements. However, any parking spaces provided within the required front or corner side yard in a business district shall be set back at least eight feet from the property line.
2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, off-street surface parking spaces may be located in the required front yard of a lot located in a general industrial district if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the lot is no less than 12 acres; (ii) the lot shares a border with a railroad right-of- way; and (iii) the lot is wholly bound by railroad or general industrial district within the corporate limits of the village.
(3) Control of off-site parking facilities. In cases where parking facilities are permitted on land other than the zoning lot on which the building or use served is located, such facilities shall be in the same possession as the zoning lot occupied by the building or use to which the parking facilities are accessory. Such possession may be either by deed or long-term lease, the term of such lease to be determined by the Zoning Board of Appeals; and such deed or lease shall be filed with the Zoning Administrator. The deed or lease shall require such owner or his or her heirs and assigns to maintain the required number of parking facilities for the duration of the use served or the deed or lease, whichever shall terminate sooner.
(4) Size. Except for parallel parking spaces, each required off-street parking space shall be at least nine feet in width and at least 9 feet in length, exclusive of access drives or aisles, ramps, columns or office or work areas. Such space shall have a vertical clearance of at least 7 feet, and shall be measured at right angles to the axis of the vehicle. For parallel parking, the length of the parking space shall be increased to 24 feet. All other requirements as to size shall be as set forth in division (D), Off-Street Parking Chart.
(5) Access. Except on residential lots, each off-street parking space shall open directly upon an aisle or driveway at least, 12 feet wide or such additional width and design as to provide safe and efficient means of vehicular access to such parking space. All off-street parking facilities shall be designed with appropriate means of vehicular access to a street or alley in a manner which will least interfere with traffic movement. In any event, all driveways shall conform to all applicable driveway specifications adopted by the village.
(6) Collective provision. Off-street parking facilities for separate uses may be provided collectively if the total number of spaces so provided is not less than the sum of the separate requirements of each such use and all regulations governing location of accessory parking spaces in relation to the use served are adhered to. Further, no parking space or portion thereof shall serve as required space for more than one use unless otherwise authorized by the Zoning Board of Appeals.
(7) Computation. When determination of the number of off-street parking spaces required by this chapter results in a requirement of a fractional space, any fraction of less than one-half may be disregarded, while a fraction of one-half or more, shall be counted as one parking space. Parking spaces required on an employee basis shall be based on the maximum number of employees on duty or residing, or both, on the premises at any one time.
(8) Utilization. Except as may otherwise be provided for the parking of trucks in the granting of conditional uses, required accessory off-street parking facilities provided for uses listed in division (B) of this section shall be solely for the parking of passenger automobiles of patrons, occupants or employees of such uses.
(9) Design and maintenance.
(a) Plan. The design of parking lots or areas shall be subject to the approval of the Zoning Administrator, in accordance with standards approved by the Plan Commission and President and Board of Trustees.
(b) Character. Accessory parking spaces may be open to the sky, or enclosed in a building.
(c) Surfacing. All open off-street parking areas shall be surfaced with a dustless all- weather material. Proper drainage shall be provided.
(d) Screening and landscaping. All open vehicle parking areas containing more than four parking spaces shall be effectively screened on each side adjoining or fronting on property situated in a residence district or any institutional premises by a wall, fence or densely planted compact hedge not less than 4 feet nor more than 8 feet in height. However, the Board of Appeals may waive this requirement if the closest point of such parking area is at least 50 feet from the nearest residential or institutional property line.
(e) Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate off-street parking areas shall be directed away from residential properties and public streets in such a way as not to create a nuisance. However, in no case shall such lighting exceed three foot-candles measured at the lot line.
(f) Cleaning and maintenance. Except in the cleaning or maintenance of parking lots utilizing motorized equipment may be performed between 11:30 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. each day, except for the removal of snow.
(g) Wheel stops. All parking lots shall be provided with wheel stops or bumper guards so located on the periphery of parking lots that no part of parked vehicles shall extend beyond the property line. Such stops or guards shall be properly anchored or secured.
(i) Repair and service.
1. Residence districts. No motor vehicle repair work or service of any kind shall be permitted in association with parking facilities provided in residence districts, with the exception of emergency service required to start vehicles.
2. Business districts. No motor vehicle repair work or service of any kind shall be permitted in conjunction with parking facilities, with the exception of emergency service required to start vehicles.
3. Industrial districts. No motor vehicle repair work or service of any kind shall be permitted in conjunction with any open accessory parking facilities provided in an industrial district if such parking facilities are within 200 feet of a residence district. Washing of accessory vehicles and emergency service required to start vehicles shall be permitted.
(B) Specific requirements. All off-street parking spaces hereinafter required by this chapter, except those required for one- and two-family dwellings, shall be designed in accordance with one of the formulae set forth in division (D), Off-Street Parking Chart. Off-street parking spaces shall be provided in accordance with the specific parking classes as set forth in division (C) of this section. Parking spaces for accessory uses not specifically enumerated within a parking class shall be assumed to be included in the principal (permitted or conditional) use requirement. If, for any reason, the classification of any use, for the purpose of determining the amount of off-street parking, or the number of spaces to be provided by such use is not readily determinable hereunder, the parking class of such use shall be fixed by the Zoning Administrator.
