OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING
The purpose of this section is to alleviate or prevent congestion of the public streets, and so promote the safety and welfare of the public by establishing minimum requirements for the off-street parking and loading and unloading of motor vehicles in accordance with the use to which the property is put.
(Ord. 88-30, passed 8-8-88)
(A) Scope of regulations. The off-street parking and loading provisions shall apply as follows:
(1) For all buildings and structures erected and all uses of land established after the effective date of this chapter, accessory parking and loading facilities shall be provided as required by the regulations of the district in which such buildings or uses are located. However, where a building permit has been issued prior to the effective date of this chapter, and provided that construction is begun within one year of such effective date and diligently prosecuted to completion, parking and loading facilities as required herein need not be provided.
(2) When the intensity of use of any building, structure or premises shall be increased through addition of dwelling units, gross floor area, seating capacity, or other unit of measurement specified herein for required parking or loading facilities, parking and loading facilities as required herein shall be provided for such increase in intensity of use.
(3) However, no building or structure lawfully erected or use lawfully established prior to the effective date of this chapter shall be required to provide such additional parking or loading facilities unless and until the aggregate increase in units of measurement shall equal to not less than 15% of the units of measurement existing upon the effective date of this chapter, in which event parking or loading facilities as required, shall be provided for the total increase.
(4) Whenever the existing use of a building or structure shall hereafter be changed to a new use, parking and loading facilities shall be provided as required for such new use. However, if the said building or structure was erected prior to the effective date of this chapter, additional parking or loading facilities are mandatory only in the amount by which the requirements for the new use would exceed those for the existing use if the latter were subject to the parking and loading provisions of this chapter.
(B) Existing parking and loading facilities. Accessory off-street parking or loading facilities which are located on the same lot as the building or use served and which were in existence on the effective date of this chapter or were provided voluntarily after such effective date shall not hereafter be reduced below, or if already less than, shall not further be reduced below, the requirements of this chapter for a similar new building or use.
(C) Permissive parking and loading facilities. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the voluntary establishment of off-street parking or loading facilities to serve any existing use of land or buildings provided that all regulations herein governing the location, design, improvement, and operation of such facilities are adhered to.
(D) Damage or destruction. For any conforming or legally nonconforming building or use which is in existence on the effective date of this chapter, which subsequent thereto is damaged or destroyed by fire, collapse, explosion, or other cause, and which is reconstructed, reestablished or repaired, off-street parking or loading facilities need not be provided, except that parking or loading facilities equivalent to any maintained at the time of such damage or destruction shall be restored or continued in operation. However, in no case shall it be necessary to restore or maintain parking or loading facilities in excess of those required by this chapter for equivalent new uses or construction.
(E) Control of off-site parking facilities. When required parking facilities are provided on land other than the zoning lot on which the building or use served by such facilities is located, they shall be and remain in the same possession or ownership as the zoning lot occupied by the building or use to which the parking facilities are accessory. No such off-site parking facilities shall be authorized and no occupancy permit shall be issued where the plans call for parking facilities other than on the same zoning lot until and unless the Plan Commission has reviewed the plans and heard the applicant and made findings that the common ownership or possession of the zoning lot and the site of the parking facilities are reasonably certain to continue and that the off-site parking facilities will be maintained at all times during the life of the proposed use or building.
(F) Submission of plot plans. Any application for a building permit or for a certificate of occupancy where no building permit is required, shall include therewith a plot plan - drawn to scale and fully dimensioned - showing any parking or loading facilities to be provided in compliance herewith.
(Ord. 88-30, passed 8-8-88)
Exceptions to parking regulations. Within the area determined by the Plan Commission to be the Central Business District the parking regulations set forth herein shall not apply. However, existing off-street parking in the Central Business District which is located on the same lot as the building or use served and which was in existence on the effective date of this chapter or was provided voluntarily after the date of this chapter, shall not hereafter be reduced below the requirements of this chapter for a similar new building or use.
(A) Use of parking facilities. Off-street parking facilities accessory to residential uses and developed in any residential district in accordance with the requirements herein shall be used solely for the parking of passenger automobiles owned by occupants of the dwelling structures to which such facilities are accessory or by guests of said occupants. Under no circumstances shall required parking facilities accessory to residential structures be used for the storage of commercial vehicles or for the parking of automobiles belonging to the employees, owners, tenants, visitors, or customers of business or manufacturing establishments.
(B) Joint parking facilities. Off-street parking facilities for different buildings, structures or uses or for mixed uses may be provided collectively in any zoning district in which separate parking facilities for each constituent use would be permitted, provided that the total number of spaces so located together shall not be less than the sum of the separate requirements for each use.
(C) Computation. When determination of the number of off-street parking spaces required herein results in a requirement of a fractional space, any fraction of one-half or less may be disregarded while a fraction in excess of one-half shall be counted as one parking space.
(D) Size. A required off-street parking space shall be at least ten feet in width and at least 20 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 seven feet.
(E) Access. Each required off-street parking space shall open directly upon an aisle or driveway of such 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 movements. No driveway across public property nor curb cut shall exceed a width of 30 feet.
(F) In yards. Off-street parking spaces may be allowed in any yards except required front yards. Driveways into and/or thru front yards may be used as off-street parking spaces.
