The Village Council, upon recommendation from the Planning Commission, may defer construction of a portion of the required number of parking spaces for nonresidential uses if the following conditions are met:
(A) Deferred parking areas shall be shown on a site plan and shall be of sufficient area to permit the construction of the total number of parking spaces required by this section. Such areas shall not be used for any other purpose required by this chapter (such as landscaped buffers, etc.) and shall be kept open.
(A) The following shall apply to any new development proposed for nonresidential and multiple family uses:
(1) A maximum of one driveway per street shall be permitted per principal use, or collective principal use.
(2) A second driveway may be permitted provided that such drive is constructed and permitted to share access with an adjoining principal use or existing lot within the same zoning district, or such drive is part of a one-way driveway system that permits a single point of ingress and a single point of egress.
(3) The Village Planning Commission may permit additional driveways, if justified by a professional traffic study provided by the applicant or owner indicating the need for such additional driveways.
(4) The location of new driveways shall be determined by the Village Planning Commission which shall take the following factors into consideration:
(a) The ability to share driveways with adjacent properties and the general compatibility of those adjacent land uses;
(b) The proximity of the proposed driveways to existing driveways on adjacent properties and properties on the opposite side of the street;
(c) Any provisions made for front or rear service drives that may eliminate the potential for future driveways on nearby properties;
(d) The relationship of the proposed driveway location to the internal circulation of the development site;
(e) The proximity of the proposed driveway to street intersections. Driveways shall be located as far as practicable from any public or private street intersection.
(A) Seasonal parking. Parking of a recreational vehicle in a residential driveway is allowed during the customary season of use. Parking of out of season recreational vehicles is considered in storage and would have to meet the storage criteria as identified below. Parking time limits do not apply if the vehicle's primary use is for transportation of the owner. Parking of recreational vehicles shall not obstruct views of pedestrians and/or drivers and shall be 15 feet from exterior edge of roadway and five feet from exterior edge of sidewalk.
(B) Storage.
(1) Location. The recreational vehicle shall be parked on a lot with an inhabited dwelling unit as follows:
(a) Rear yard: setback distance shall be five feet from the rear lot line, or shall meet the setback requirements of an accessory building.
(b) Side yard: the recreational vehicle cannot project past the front wall of the house. Setback distance from the side lot line shall be three feet, or shall meet the setback requirements of an accessory building.
(2) Size. The space which can be dedicated to vehicular storage shall not exceed one- half of the ground floor area of the main building.
(C) Condition of recreational vehicle. The recreational vehicle shall be fully operational and display the current license plate/registration. It cannot be used for living or housing purposes and shall not have any fixed connections to electricity, water, gas, or sanitary sewer.
