(a)

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

(1)

Accessory off-street parking and off-street loading facilities shall be provided as required by the regulations of this article for all buildings and structures. However, where a building permit has been issued prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this article is derived, and provided that construction is begun within six months of such effective date and diligently prosecuted to completion, parking and loading facilities in the amounts required for the issuance of said building permit may be provided in lieu of any additional amounts required by this article.

(2)

When the intensity of use of any building, structure, or premises shall be increased through the addition of other units of measurement, such as the addition of dwelling units, gross floor area, or seating capacity, such additional parking and loading facilities as required herein shall be provided.

(3)

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 article is derived, additional parking or loading facilities are mandatory only in the amount by which the requirements for the new use exceed those for the existing use.

(b)

Nothing in this article shall be deemed to prevent the voluntary establishment of off-street parking and loading facilities to serve any existing use of land or buildings, provided that all regulations herein governing the location, design, and operation of such facilities are observed.

(Prior Code, §§ 22-7-7.01, 22-7-7.03; Ord. of 9-20-1954, §§ 22-7-7.01, 22-7-7.03; Ord. No. 05-05, § 1(7-7.01), 2-21-2005)

Accessory off-street parking facilities in existence on the effective date of the ordinance from which this article is derived and located on the same lot as the building or use served shall not hereafter be reduced below the requirements for a similar new building or use under the provisions of this article.

(Prior Code, § 22-7-7.02; Ord. of 9-20-1954, § 22-7-7.02; Ord. No. 05-05, § 1(7-7.02), 2-21-2005)

When any conforming or nonconforming building or use which is in existence on the effective date of the ordinance from which this article is derived, which is restored and continued in operation after being damaged or destroyed by fire, collapse, explosion or other cause, to the extent that the cost of restoration does not exceed 50 percent of the assessed value, there may be provided only the off-street parking or loading facilities equivalent to any maintained at the time of such damage or destruction. It shall not be necessary to restore or maintain parking or loading facilities in excess of those required by this article for equivalent new uses or construction.

(Prior Code, § 22-7-7.04; Ord. of 9-20-1954, § 22-7-7.04; Ord. No. 05-05, § 1(7-7.03), 2-21-2005)

All parking spaces required to serve buildings or uses erected or established in single-family detached residence districts after the effective date of the ordinance from which this article is derived shall be located on the same lot as the building or use served. Buildings or uses other than single-family dwellings existing on the effective date of the ordinance from which this article is derived which are subsequently altered or enlarged so as to require the provision of parking spaces under this article or new uses other than in single-family detached residence districts may be served by parking facilities located on land other than the lot on which the building or use served is located, provided such facilities are within 300 feet walking distance of said building, and located in a district where off-street parking area or storage garages are a permitted or conditional permitted use and where there is compliance with requirements set forth in section 121-295.

(Prior Code, § 22-7-7.06(9); Ord. of 9-20-1954, § 22-7-7.06; Ord. No. 05-05, § 1(7-7.04), 2-21-2005)

In cases where parking facilities are permitted on land other than the lot on which the building or use served is located, such facilities shall be on a lot in the same possession of the title holder of record as the lot occupied by the building or use to which the parking facilities are accessory. A covenant running with the land must be recorded in the office of the county register of deeds on the lot upon which the accessory off-street parking is located which prohibits any other use of that lot, and a certified copy by the county register of deeds of the recorded covenant is deposited with the village. The covenant shall not be released until such time as either one of the following conditions occur:

(1)

The structure on the lot containing the principal use is removed and the principal use terminates; or

(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 required for approval of such initial off-street parking.

(Prior Code, § 22-7-7.05; Ord. of 9-20-1954, § 22-7-7.05; Ord. No. 05-05, § 1(7-7.05), 2-21-2005)

(a)

No unlicensed or unregistered motor vehicle may be parked in the open on any property within a residential district.

(b)

No storage of any kind or motor vehicle repair work or service of any kind shall be permitted within any required off-street parking and/or off-street loading areas, unless in a residential district such vehicle is totally housed within an attached or detached garage. Said work shall only be performed between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Repair work is limited to the residents' own private vehicles.

(c)

Commercial sales of motor vehicles within residential districts is strictly prohibited. This section is not intended to prohibit a resident within a residential district from selling his personal motor vehicle as he would desire. However, this is intended to prohibit continuous reoccurring sales of motor vehicles for monetary gain.

Porous or pervious pavement shall be included in the stormwater management plan for a particular development and shall be subject to a maintenance agreement in accord with article V of chapter 109.

The village recognizes that due to particulars of any given development, the inflexible application of the parking standards set forth in this section may result in a development having either inadequate parking space or parking space in excess of its needs. Inadequate parking space may lead to traffic congestion or parking violations on nearby streets as well as unauthorized parking in adjacent lots. Excessive parking areas are inefficient, and greatly impact stormwater runoff. The plan commission and village board may allow deviations from the requirements of this article whenever they find that the deviation will not adversely impact traffic circulation or public safety. A deviation from the requirements set forth in this article may be obtained in the following instances:

(1)

Formal request. A formal request to deviate from the requirements of this article may be made as a part of a development proposal. This request shall be set forth at the time the initial application is submitted to the village.

(2)

Reserved open space.

a.

A site plan for commercial or industrial use may, subject to plan commission and village board approval, be designed to provide sufficient open space on the subject site to accommodate additional parking space, otherwise required in this section. Enough open space shall be provided which, if converted to parking spaces, would provide off-street parking to meet the full requirements of this article at the time of application.

b.

Such open space shall be in addition to required yards, setbacks, driveways, private streets, loading/service areas and open space/landscaping requirements.
