§ 152.086 OFF-STREET PARKING.
   In all districts, in connection with industrial, business, institutional, recreational, residential, or other use, there shall be provided at the time any building is erected, or uses established, enlarged, or increased in capacity, off-street parking spaces for automobiles with the requirements herein specified.
   (A)   Plans and specifications showing required off-street parking spaces, including the means of access and interior circulation, for the above uses, shall be submitted to the Zoning Inspector for review at the time of application for a building permit. Required off-street parking facilities shall be located on the same lot as the principal building or on a lot within 300 feet thereof, except that this distance shall not exceed 150 feet for single-family and two-family dwellings. The distance specified shall be measured from the nearest point of the parking facility to the nearest point of the lot occupied by the building or use that the facility is required to serve.
   (B)   No parking area or parking space which exists at the time this chapter becomes effective or which subsequent thereto is provided for the purpose of complying with the provisions of this chapter shall thereafter be relinquished or reduced in any manner below the requirements established by this chapter unless additional parking area or space is provided sufficient for the purpose of complying with this chapter within 300 feet of the proposed or existing uses for which the parking will be available.
   (C)   Parking of motor vehicles in residential zones shall be limited to passenger vehicles, one nonresidential-type recreational vehicle, and not more than one commercial vehicle of the light delivery type, not to exceed three-fourths ton, per dwelling unit. The parking of any other type of commercial vehicle, without express permission, is prohibited. Parking spaces for all types of uses may be provided either in garages or parking areas conforming to the provisions of this chapter. Exceptions to the foregoing restrictions are:
      (1)   Commercial vehicles or buses parked on school or church property;
      (2)   Any vehicle which is parked within an existing garage on residential property; and
      (3)   Any vehicle with an approved permit issued by the Village Clerk, after Planning Commission approval, such as:
         (a)   A truck larger than three-fourths ton or a truck-tractor (without trailer), when the vehicle can be shown to be the prime source of business for the owner/occupant of the residential property, and also his or her prime source of transport to his or her business;
         (b)   A residential-type recreation vehicle, provided it is not used, or to be used, on the premises as a dwelling unit. This classification includes a self-propelled or towed vehicle, or a trailer, or a truck-mounted vehicular component which is designed, intended, licensed, and used for occasional travel by individuals, families, sportspeople, or other groups, to and from vacation, resort, or other sports areas, with living therein only during the recreational travel. Where doubt as to proper classification exists, the building code will govern;
         (c)   Visitors to residents or the village, who arrive by any form of residential type recreational vehicle, may park the vehicle at the host's residence for a maximum of 15 days without a permit, provided the vehicle is not to be used as a living quarters during the stay. If a longer stay is contemplated or develops, the regular application for parking permit should be submitted, indicating proposed length of stay;
         (d)   Final approval of permits is contingent on verification by a member of the Planning Commission that the proposed location of the vehicle does not infringe upon the property rights of the immediate neighbors; and
         (e)   Permits require annual renewal; however, if the applicant certifies that all conditions of the original application, to include vehicle description and location, are unchanged, the Village Clerk may issue a renewal without reference to the Planning Commission.
   (D)   Each off-street parking space for an automobile shall not be less than 160 square feet in area, exclusive of access drives or aisles, and shall be of usable shape and condition. There shall be provided a minimum access drive of 13 feet in width, and where a turning radius is necessary, it will be of such an arc as to reasonably allow an unobstructed flow of vehicles. Access aisles for automobiles shall be of sufficient width to allow a minimum turning movement in and out of a parking space. The minimum width of the aisle shall be:
      (1)   For 90-degree or perpendicular parking, the aisle shall not be less than 25 feet in width;
      (2)   For 60-degree parking, the aisle shall not be less than 13 feet in width;
      (3)   For 45-degree parking, the aisle shall not be less than 13 feet in width; and
      (4)   For parallel parking, the aisle shall not be less than eight feet in width.
   (E)   Off-street parking facilities required for churches may be reduced by 50% where churches are located in nonresidential districts and within 300 feet of a usable public or private off-street parking area.
   (F)   Off-street parking facilities for trucks at restaurants, service stations, and other similar and related uses shall be of sufficient size to adequately serve trucks and not interfere with other vehicles that use the same facilities. The truck space shall not be less than ten feet in width and 55 feet in length.
   (G)   Every parcel of land hereafter used as a public or private parking area shall be developed and maintained in accordance with the following requirements.
      (1)   All off-street parking spaces shall not be closer than five feet to any property line, except where a wall, fence, or compact planting strip exists as a parking barrier along the property line.
      (2)   All off-street parking areas shall be drained so as to prevent drainage to abutting properties and shall be constructed of materials which will have a dust-free surface resistant to erosion.
      (3)   Any lighting fixtures used to illuminate any off-street parking area shall be so arranged as to reflect the light away from any adjoining premises and streets.
      (4)   Any off-street parking area providing space for five or more vehicles shall be effectively screened on any side which adjoins or faces property adjoining a residential lot or institution by a wall, fence, or compact planting not less than four feet in height. Plantings shall be maintained in good condition and not encroach on adjoining property.
      (5)   All off-street parking areas that make it necessary for vehicles to back out directly onto a public road are prohibited, provided that this prohibition shall not apply to off-street parking areas of one- or two-family dwellings.
      (6)   Combined parking facilities are allowed when two or more uses occur on one property or when building(s) on one property contain two or more uses, provided that the permanent allocation of the required number of parking spaces shall be the sum of the requirements for the various uses and computed in accordance with this chapter. Parking facilities for one use shall not be considered as providing the required parking facilities for any other use, except churches.
   (H)   Any sign intended to advertise parking or loading facilities shall be constructed in accordance with the regulations specified in §§ 152.340 through 152.346.
   (I)   A business involving the repair, service, sale, or display of vehicles is prohibited in areas used for parking or loading.
   (J)   For the purpose of determining off-street parking requirements, the following units of measurement shall apply.
      (1)   Floor area. In the case of uses where the floor area is the unit for determining the required number of off-street parking spaces, the unit shall mean the gross floor area, except that the floor area need not include any area used for incidental service storage installations of mechanical equipment, penthouses, housing ventilators, and heating systems, and similar uses.
      (2)   Places of assembly. In stadiums, sports arenas, churches, and other places of assembly in which those in attendance occupy benches, pews, or other similar seating facilities, each 18 inches of the seating facilities shall be counted as one seat. In cases where a place of assembly has both fixed seats and open assembly areas, requirements shall be computed separately for each type and added together.
      (3)   Fractions. When units of measurement determining the number of required parking spaces result in the requirement of a fractional space, any fraction of one-half or more shall require one space.
