D. Timing Of Construction: All required off-street parking shall be constructed in accordance with the design criteria of this chapter and shall be improved and ready for use as a condition of occupancy for the structure, issuance of additional permits or use of land. However, the property owner may request approval from the director of community development, to initially construct no less than seventy five percent (75%) of the required parking as a condition of occupancy with the remaining required spaces to be set aside and constructed when the parking demands for the site as determined by the village, require the construction of the set aside parking spaces. Prior to occupancy, a written covenant agreeing to construct the set aside parking spaces shall be submitted to the village for review and approval. Once approved, this document shall be filed for recording in the office of the county recorder of deeds and shall run with the parcel of land.
E. Access: All off-street parking facilities shall be provided with appropriate means of vehicular access to a street in accordance with regulations set forth below:
ACCESS DRIVEWAYS FROM STREETS TO
OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING SPACES
1. Width of driveways (measured at the lot line adjoining a street):
a. Residential Uses: Not less than nine feet (9') wide or more than twenty feet (20') wide.
b. Nonresidential Uses:
(1) Not less than twelve feet (12') wide or more than twenty two feet (22') wide for a one-way driveway.
(2) Not less than twenty two feet (22') wide or more than twenty five feet (25') wide for a two-way driveway serving twenty (20) or fewer parking spaces or one loading berth.
(3) Not less than:
(A) Twenty four feet (24') wide or more than thirty eight feet (38') wide for a two-way driveway (2 lanes out and 1 lane in) without a median; or
(B) Twenty four feet (24') wide or more than forty four feet (44') wide for a two-way driveway (2 lanes out and 1 lane in) with a median, serving more than twenty (20) parking spaces or two (2) or more loading berths.
2. Radius connecting street pavement edge and driveway edge:
a. In Residential Districts: Not less than two feet (2').
b. In All Other Districts: Not less than fifteen feet (15').
3. Angle at intersection of a driveway and street: The acute angle formed at the intersection of driveway and street pavement edges shall be not less than sixty degrees (60°). The required turning angle for a vehicle entering or leaving a driveway shall not exceed ninety degrees (90°).
4. Spacing between separate driveway entrances on a lot (measured center to center at the lot line adjoining a street): no less than forty percent (40%) of the length of the lot line adjoining the street, or four hundred feet (400'), whichever is less.
5. On corner lots, spacing between driveway entrance and right- of-way line of an adjacent intersecting street (measured from the nearest edge of the driveway pavement at its intersection with the street pavement to the nearest right-of-way line, extended, of an adjacent intersecting street): no less than twenty percent (20%) of the length of the lot line adjoining the street being entered.
F. Use: Accessory off-street parking facilities, as accessory to specific uses listed in this chapter, shall be solely for the parking of automobiles of patrons, occupants or employees. When bus transportation is provided for patrons, occupants or employees of a specific establishment, additional open or enclosed off-street parking spaces for bus parking on the premises shall be provided in accordance with all other regulations set forth in this chapter.
G. 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 one-half (1/2) or less may be disregarded while a fraction in excess of one-half (1/2) shall be counted as one parking space.
H. In Yards: Off-street parking spaces, open to the sky, in nonresidential districts, may be located in required interior side yards and rear yards, no less than ten feet (10') from the nearest lot line, except a parking area containing four (4) or more parking spaces shall be not less than forty feet (40') from an adjoining residence district boundary; provided, however, that:
1. On any lot in a B1 local shopping center district and a B3 general business district, the required off-street parking spaces may be located in a front yard or side yard adjoining a street not less than ten feet (10') from a street line;
2. On any lot in ORA1 or ORA2 office-research-assembly district and an O3 or O4 office district, not more than ten percent (10%) of the required off-street parking spaces, not to exceed six (6) spaces, may be located in a required front yard or along the side of the building adjoining the street and not less than twenty five feet (25') from a street line or fifty feet (50') from the street lines of Cermak and York Road; and

No motor vehicle having a gross vehicle weight (including vehicle and attached equipment and maximum load) 3 in excess of eight thousand (8,000) pounds, except vehicles registered as recreational vehicles under the Illinois motor vehicle code, and no contractor's equipment, supplies or tools, shall be stored or parked on any lot in any residence district, unless:

2. Such vehicle, equipment, supplies or tools are being used in connection with a legitimate service actually being rendered for the benefit of such lot.
J. Collective Provision: Off-street parking facilities for separate uses located in a principal building on a single parcel may be provided collectively if the total number of spaces so provided is not less than the sum of the separate requirements for each such use and provided that all regulations governing location of accessory parking spaces, in relation to the use served, are adhered to. In addition, any parcel of land that has excess parking beyond what is required by this chapter may allocate excess parking capacity to any parcel or use that is directly contiguous to it under a shared parking arrangement if it meets the applicable requirements of this chapter. Such arrangement must be in written form with notification provided to the village.
K. Control Of Off-Street Parking Facilities: In cases where parking facilities are permitted on a lot other than the lot on which the structure or use served is located, a covenant running with the land must be recorded in the office of the recorder of deeds of DuPage County, Illinois, on the lot upon which the accessory off-street parking is located which prohibits any other use on that lot, and a copy of the recorded covenant certified by the office of the recorder of deeds of DuPage County, Illinois, shall be deposited with the director of community development. The covenant shall not be released until such time as either one of the following conditions occurs:
1. The structure on the lot containing the principal use is removed and the principal use terminated.
2. Another lot of the required size within the required distance is properly developed and used for the required accessory off- street parking in place of and in lieu of the initial lot used for accessory off-street parking with the same requirements, covenants, and conditions attaching to such substitute accessory use lot as approved by the same authority as required for approval of such initial lot.
L. Employee Parking: 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.
M. Repair And Service: Except in cases of emergency, no motor vehicle repair work or service of any kind shall be permitted in off-street parking areas. No gasoline or motor oil shall be sold or services performed in conjunction with any accessory parking facilities unless such facilities are located within a completely enclosed structure, in which case gasoline and motor oil may be sold within such structure to the users of such facilities, provided that no sign thereto is visible from outside the structure and provided further that all gasoline pumps shall be effectively screened from view of streets and residence districts.
