The intent of this article 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.

(Ord. No. O-11-03-4, § 11.01, 11-24-2003)

(a)

Scope of regulations. The off-street parking and loading provisions of this chapter shall apply as follows:

(1)

Off-street parking and loading facilities. For all buildings and structures erected and all uses of building and land established after the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived accessory parking and loading facilities shall be provided in accordance with the provisions of this section. However, where a building permit has been issued prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived, and provided that construction is begun within one year of such effective date, and diligently prosecuted to completion, parking and loading facilities as required hereinafter need not be provided except as recommended by the planning and zoning commission and approved by the village board.

(2)

Increased parking and loading facilities. When the intensity of use of any buildings, structures, 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. However, no building or structure lawfully erected for a use lawfully established prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived shall be required to provide such additional parking or loading facilities unless and until the aggregate increase in units of measurement existing upon the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived, in which event parking or loading facilities as required herein shall be provided for the total increase.

(3)

New off-site parking and loading facilities. Whenever the existing use of a building or structure shall hereafter be changed to a new use, parking or loading facilities shall be provided as required for such new use. However, if said building or structure was erected prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived, 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 and loading facilities which are located on the same zoning lot as the building or use served which were in existence on the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter 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.

(c)

Permissive parking and loading facilities. 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.

(d)

Handicapped parking. All uses except single-family detached or attached dwellings, shall be required to provide off-street parking spaces for handicapped persons in accordance with the standards established by the state. (See the Illinois Accessibility Code, Effective May 1, 1988, and as subsequently amended pursuant to the Illinois Environmental Barriers Act, 410 ILCS 25/1 et seq.)

(e)

Damage or destruction. For any conforming or legally nonconforming building or use which is in existence on the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived, which subsequent thereto is damaged or destroyed by fire, collapse, explosion or other cause, not to exceed 75 percent of the cost of the existing building or structure, and which is reconstructed, reestablished 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. However, in no case shall it be necessary to increase or maintain parking or loading facilities in excess of those required by this chapter for equivalent new uses or construction.

(f)

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 planning and zoning commission has reviewed the plans and heard the applicant and made findings that documents suitable for recording have been executed by the lot owner and approved by the village attorney assuring 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.

(g)

Submission of plot plan. 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 incompliance with this chapter.

(Ord. No. O-11-03-4, § 11.02, 11-24-2003; Ord. No. O-5-08-4, § 5, 5-27-2008)

(a)

Use of parking facilities. Off-street parking facilities accessory to residential use and developed in any residential district in accordance with the requirements of this section shall be used for the parking of passenger automobiles owned by occupants of the dwelling buildings to which such facilities are accessory or by guests of said occupants. Under no circumstances shall required parking facilities accessory to residential buildings be used for the parking of automobiles belonging to the employees, owners, tenants, visitors or customers of any business or manufacturing establishment.

(b)

Collective provisions. 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, and provided documents suitable for recording shall be executed by the building owners and approved by the village's attorney assuring access as intended to the collective parking facilities.

(c)

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 or less may be disregarded while a fraction in excess of one-half shall be counted as one parking space.
