The purpose of this section is to alleviate or prevent the congestion of the public streets and to 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 property is put.

(Code 1973, ch. 29, § 6-101)

The off-street parking and loading provisions of this division shall apply as follows:

(1)

For all buildings and structures erected and all uses of land established after the effective date of the ordinance from which this division is derived, accessory parking and loading facilities shall be provided as required by the regulations of the district in which such building or uses are located. However, where a permit has been issued prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this division is derived, and provided that construction is begun within one year of such effective date of the ordinance from which this division is derived, and diligently prosecuted to completion, parking and loading facilities as required hereinafter need not be provided.

(2)

When the intensity of use of any building, structure or premises shall be increased through the addition of dwelling units, gross floor area, seating capacity or other units 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 the ordinance from which this division is derived shall be required to provide such additional parking or loading facilities unless and until the aggregate increase in units of measurement shall equal not less than 15 percent of the units of measurement existing upon the effective date of the ordinance from which this division is derived, in which event parking or loading facilities, as required herein, shall be provided for the total increase.

(4)

When the existing use of a building or structure shall be changed hereafter to a new use, parking and loading facilities shall be provided as required for such new use. However, if the building or structure was erected prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this division is derived, additional parking or loading facilities shall be required 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.

(Code 1973, ch. 29, § 6-102(a); Ord. No. 96-070, 6-25-1996)

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 the ordinance from which this division is derived 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.

(Code 1973, ch. 29, § 6-102(b); Ord. No. 96-070, 6-25-1996)

Nothing in this chapter 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.

(Code 1973, ch. 29, § 6-102(c); Ord. No. 96-070, 6-25-1996)

For any conforming or legally nonconforming building or use which is in existence on the effective date of the ordinance from which this division is derived, which subsequent thereto is damaged or destroyed by fire, collapse, explosion or other cause, and which is reconstructed, re-established or repaired, off-street parking or loading facilities equivalent to any maintained at the time of such damage or destruction shall be restored or continued in operation, except that when such damage or destruction exceeds more than 50 percent of the value of the building or use, sufficient off-street parking or loading facilities shall be provided as required by this chapter for equivalent new use or construction. 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.

(Code 1973, ch. 29, § 6-102(d); Ord. No. 96-070, 6-25-1996)

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 other than on the same zoning lot until and unless the zoning board of appeals 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 during the life of the proposed use or building.

(Code 1973, ch. 29, § 6-102(e); Ord. No. 96-070, 6-25-1996)

Any application for an improvement location permit for certificate of occupancy where no 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 with this chapter.

(Code 1973, ch. 29, § 6-102(f); Ord. No. 96-070, 6-25-1996)

Upon presentation of clear and convincing evidence by the applicant that the total number of required parking spaces are not immediately necessary for the current use of a building or structure, the board of trustees may permit the phased installation of the parking facilities. Sufficient area shall be reserved on the site for the construction of future parking facilities in accordance with the requirements of this division, and parking facilities shall be installed when the board of trustees determines that they are warranted. If phased installation of parking facilities is approved, the applicant shall enter into an agreement, in a form acceptable to the village, setting forth the terms and conditions applicable to the phased installation of parking facilities. The agreement shall run with the land and shall be recorded with the will county recorder of deeds at the applicant's sole cost and expense. The agreement shall further provide that, if the applicant fails to comply with any term or condition thereof, the village shall have the following legal remedies, none of which shall be exclusive:

The right to recover the village attorney's fees and court costs in any enforcement action.
