(A) When a 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 or less may be disregarded, while a fraction in excess of one-half shall be counted as one parking space.
(B) The total number of accessory parking spaces provided for one-family, two-family or multiple family dwellings shall not exceed that required by this chapter for such or for any equivalent new use by more than 50% or four spaces, whichever number is greater.
(C) Size and access (off-street parking).
(1) Size. A required off-street parking space in all districts shall be at least
nine feet six inches in width (WP) and at least 18 feet in length, exclusive of access drives or aisles, ramps, curbs, columns, office or work areas. The width and length of all parking spaces adjacent to curb and gutter shall be measured from the edge of pavement. All spaces shall have a minimum vertical clearance of at least seven feet. Aisles widths between vehicular parking spaces shall be not less than the following:
(a) Forty-five degree angle with a 16 feet 6 inch stall length (SL), 15 foot aisle width (AW), and 48 feet wall to wall (W) measured to and from the edge of pavement, accommodating one-way aisle travel;
(b) Sixty degree angle with 18 foot stall length (SL), 18 foot aisle width (AW), and 54 foot wall to wall (W) measured to and from edge of pavement, accommodating one-way aisle travel;
(c) Sixty degree angle with 18 foot stall length (SL), 26 foot aisle width (AW), and 62 foot wall to wall (W) measured to and from edge of pavement, accommodating two-way aisle travel; and,
(d) Ninety degree angle with 18 foot stall length (SL), 26 foot aisle width (AW), and 62 foot wall to wall (W) measured to and from edge of pavement, accommodating two-way aisle travel.
(2) Access. Each required off-street parking space shall open directly on an aisle or driveway of such width and design as to provide safe and efficient means of vehicular access to the parking space, unless the parking facilities are serviced by a parking attendant. 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 25 feet, unless otherwise allowed within this chapter.
(3) Measurement of space. When determination of the number of required off-street parking spaces results in a requirement of a fractional space, any fraction up to and including one-half shall be disregarded; and, any fraction over one-half shall be interpreted as one parking space.
(D) Design and maintenance.
(1) Open and enclosed parking spaces. Accessory parking spaces located on the same lot as occupied by the use served may be open to the sky or enclosed in a building. Accessory parking spaces located in a residential district elsewhere than on the same lot occupied by the use served shall be open to the sky except when otherwise allowed as a special use.
(2) Surfacing. All open off-street parking areas, including driveways and aisles, shall be improved with a compacted stone base, not less than eight inches thick, surfaced with not less than three inches of compacted asphalt or concrete as approved by the village.
(3) Curbing. All parking lots shall have complete non-mountable curbing system at the perimeter of the lots. This system shall be designed to retain and direct storm water on-site.
(4) Screening and landscaping. All applications for a building permits requested for new construction in multi-family residential, commercial, and manufacturing districts shall provide a landscaping plan which shall be submitted to the Village Planner for review and subject to approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission and Village Board of Trustees. All open automobile parking areas containing more than four parking spaces shall be effectively screened on each side adjoining or fronting on any property situated in a residential district or any institutional premises by a wall, fence or densely planted compact hedge not less than five feet nor more than seven feet in height. The required screening shall conform with the front and side yard setback requirements of the district in which the parking is located. Landscaping requirements under the business/commercial section of this chapter shall also apply where required.
(5) Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate off-street parking areas shall be directed away from any residential properties and public highways in such a way as not to create a nuisance.
(6) Signage. Directional and regulatory signs only are permitted on parking areas.
(7) Repair and service. No motor vehicle repair work of any kind shall be permitted in conjunction with accessory off- street parking facilities provided in a residential district. The sale of gasoline and motor oil in conjunction with accessory off-street parking facilities is not permitted in any residential district.
(8) Required setbacks. Except for otherwise provided for herein this chapter or within a specific zoning district, no parking space nor portion thereof shall be established within the front yard setback of any business, commercial, industrial, manufacturing, airport or university district. Further any decorative or landscaping wall, fence or hedge developed around any parking area shall be subject to the setback requirements of this chapter in the same manner as the parking lot.
(E) Location of off-street parking facilities. Off-street parking spaces may be located in any yards, except required front yards. The location of off-street parking spaces in relation to the use served shall be as prescribed hereinafter. All distances specified shall be within walking distance between the parking spaces and a main entrance to the use served:
(1) For uses in a residential district. Parking spaces accessory to dwellings shall be located on the same zoning lot as the use served. Spaces accessory to uses other than dwellings may be located on a lot adjacent to, or directly across the street or alley from the lot occupied by the use served, but in no case at a distance in excess of 300 feet from such use.
(2) For apartments, condominiums or efficiency units containing four or more dwelling units on the same lot or parcel of land as the building they are required to serve, or on a separate lot or parcel of land not more than 300 feet from the nearest entrance to the main building being served, provided the lot or parcel of land selected for the parking facilities is located in a apartment district or a less restricted district.
(3) For boarding house, clubs, congregate care, convalescent homes, dormitories, fraternity, halfway house, health club, hospitals, lodge, lodging house, nursing home, orphanages, rooming house, sanitariums, sorority, and for other similar uses, the off-street parking facilities required shall be on the same lot or parcel of land as the main building or buildings being served, or upon properties contiguous to the zoning lot upon which is located the building or buildings they are intended to serve.
(4) For uses in business and industrial/ manufacturing districts. All required parking spaces shall be within 1,000 feet of the use served, except for spaces accessory to dwelling units (not including hotels) which shall be within 300 feet of the use served. However, no parking spaces accessory to a use in a business or manufacturing district shall be located in a residential district, unless recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission in accordance with § 159.172 of this chapter to the Village Board of Trustees.
