(b) Paving.
(1) All off-street vehicular use areas shall be provided with a hard surface of asphaltic, bituminous cement, concrete, or other properly bound pavement so as to provide a durable and dustless surface, including private parking areas on residential lots. Areas surfaced with gravel, stone, dirt, lawn, landscaping, or other surface not expressly permitted by this Zoning Ordinance shall not be used for off-street vehicular use areas.
(2) Temporary parking permitted as part of a temporary use per Section 1115.34 "Temporary Use Not Listed" may be exempt from this section.
(3) Up to fifty percent (50%) of parking spaces may be constructed of a pervious surface as part of a site plan review under Chapter 1157 "Site Plan Review." The design of any areas surfaced with a pervious surface shall be reviewed by the Village Administrator. Failure to maintain the pervious surface in good working order as may be necessary dependent on the type of surface shall be considered a violation of this Zoning Ordinance subject to Chapter 1167 "Enforcement and Penalties."
(c) Drainage. All parking and loading areas shall be graded, drained, and provided with adequate drainage facilities so that adjacent properties and rights-of-way, including public sidewalks, shall not be subject to flooding by run-off water from the proposed parking area.
(d) Lighting. Any parking area which is intended to be used during non-daylight hours shall be properly illuminated to avoid accidents. Any lights used to illuminate a parking lot shall be so arranged as to reflect the light away from the adjoining property in accordance with Section 1133.03 "Outdoor Lighting."
(e) Access and Maneuverability.
(1) Except for single-family and two-family dwellings, any parking area shall be designed in such a manner that any vehicle leaving or entering the parking area from or into a public or private street shall be traveling in a forward motion. Access of driveways for parking areas or loading spaces shall be located in such a way that any vehicle entering or leaving such lot shall be clearly visible for a reasonable distance to any pedestrian or motorist approaching the access or driveway from a public or private street.
(2) All ingress and egress to vehicular use areas shall be made through curb cuts. Curb openings at the property line shall not be more than:
A. Eighteen (18) feet wide in residential districts for single and two-family dwellings;
B. Thirty (30) feet wide in residential districts for multi-family dwellings;
C. Thirty-six (36) feet wide in business districts; and
D. Fifty (50) feet wide in industrial districts.
(3) Curb definitions shall be maintained, prohibiting continuous access along the frontage of a site.
(f) Signage. The entrances and exits to the parking area shall be clearly marked. Parking areas having more than one (1) aisle or driveway shall have directional signs or markings in each aisle or driveway.
(g) Striping. All parking areas with a capacity over six (6) vehicles shall be striped between stalls to facilitate the movement into and out of the parking stalls.
(h) Screening and/or Landscaping. Whenever a parking area is located in or adjacent to a residential use it shall be effectively screened on all sides which adjoin or face any property used for residential purposes, in accordance with Section 1137.07 "Screening Requirements Between Land Uses."
(i) Parking Area Capacity. No one area for off-street parking of motor vehicles shall exceed forty (40) cars in capacity. Separate parking areas on a parcel shall be physically separated from one another by ten (10) foot planting strips. See Section 1137.08 "Parking Lot Landscaping."
(j) Minimum Distance and Setbacks. No part of any parking area for more than six (6) vehicles shall be closer than twenty (20) feet to any dwelling unit, school, hospital, or other institution for human care located on an adjoining lot, unless separated by an acceptably designed screen in accordance with Section 1137.07 "Screening Requirements Between Land Uses." If on the same lot with a single-family residence, the parking area shall not be located within the front yard required for such building. In no case shall any part of a parking area be closer than fifteen (15) feet to any street or four (4) feet to any alley right-of-way.
(k) Curbing and Wheel Stops.
(1) A concrete curb or approved alternative shall be provided around all sides of any parking lot of six (6) or more spaces to protect landscaped areas, sidewalks, buildings or adjacent property from vehicles that might otherwise extend beyond the edge of the parking lot. Curb openings are allowed for storm water drainage. Plantings shall be set back two (2) feet from curbs to allow for bumper overhang.
(2) Continuous curbs or approved alternative shall be located a minimum of four (4) feet from any structures, buildings, or walls to prevent a vehicle from hitting any structure at the edge of a parking area.
(3) When provided, wheel stops, or bumper guards shall be placed to allow for two feet of vehicle overhang area within the dimension of the parking space. (Ord. 30-22. Passed 12-12-22.)
