XI OFF-STREET

PARKING AND OFF-STREET LOADING

SCOPE OF REGULATIONS
The off-street parking and off-street loading provisions of this Ordinance shall apply as follows:
1. Accessory off-street parking and off-street loading facilities shall be provided as required by the regulations of this Section (unless specifically provided otherwise in this Ordinance) for all buildings and structures erected and all uses of land established in each district after the effective date of this Ordinance. However, where a building permit has been issued prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, 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 different amounts required by this Ordinance.
2. When the intensity of use of any building, structure, lot, or premises shall be increased through the addition of dwelling units, gross floor area, seating capacity, or other units of measurement as specified herein, additional parking and/or loading facilities shall be provided in the amount required for the increased intensity of use in accordance with the applicable standards set forth herein.
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 the said building or structure was erected prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, 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 Ordinance.
PERMISSIVE PARKING AND LOADING FACILITIES
Nothing in this Ordinance 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 there is adherence to all regulations herein governing the location, design, and operation of such facilities.

OFF-STREET PARKING

Existing Parking Facilities
Accessory off-street parking facilities in existence on the effective date of this Ordinance 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 Ordinance.
Control of Off-Street Parking Facilities
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 possession of the same title holder of record as the lot occupied by the building or use for which the parking facilities are accessory. A covenant running with the land must be recorded (in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of DuPage or Cook County, Illinois, or the Cook County Registrar of Titles, whichever is applicable) on the lot upon which the accessory off-street parking is located, which prohibits any other use on that lot, except as may be approved by the Village, and a certified copy of the recorded covenant must be deposited with the Community Development Director. The covenant shall not be released until such time as either one of the following conditions occur:
1. The building or structure on the lot containing the principal use is removed and the principal use terminated; 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 use lot.
Use
Accessory off-street parking facilities, as accessory to uses listed herein, shall be solely for the parking of automobiles of patrons, occupants, or employees. Except as otherwise permitted in the regulations for a specific district, truck parking and storage of any vehicles is prohibited unless within a completely enclosed building or structure. When bus transportation is provided for patrons, occupants or employees of a specific establishment, additional open or enclosed off-street parking spaces for each bus to be parked on the premises shall be provided in accordance with applicable regulations for such buses herein provided for.
Computation
When determination of the number of off-street parking spaces required by this Ordinance results in a requirement of a fractional space, any fraction of one-half or greater shall be counted as requiring one additional parking space.
Collective Provision (Shared Parking)
Off-street parking facilities for separate uses (which are located on either the same or different lots) may be provided in a shared parking area provided that the total number of parking spaces is equal to the sum of the parking spaces required for each use sharing the parking area, and provided that all regulations governing location of accessory parking spaces, in relation to the use served, are adhered to.
Dimensions
Off-street parking areas shall conform to minimum dimensions for parking space size and width and width of access aisles as set forth in Appendix V. Enclosed parking spaces shall have a vertical clearance of at least seven feet.
Access and Driveways
Each required off-street parking space shall open directly upon an aisle or driveway of a width and design in accordance with standards herein set forth in Appendix VI and in Section IV relating to distance from lot lines. All off-street parking facilities shall be provided with appropriate means of vehicular access to a street or alley with the location and design of the intersection of the parking area access driveway and the street or alley being in accordance with regulations herein set forth in Appendix VI.
In Yards
1. Off-street parking spaces, open to the sky, may be located in required interior side yards and rear yards subject to compliance with the landscaping and setback requirements contained in Section XI.C.11, herein.
2. In Business Districts, parking in the front and corner side yards shall be allowed in accordance with the specific parking regulations set forth in the Business District regulations.
3. In no event shall parking be permitted in the Manufacturing, Office, and Transitional Districts anywhere in front of the building, whether in the front yard, the interior side yard, side yard adjoining the street or any buildable area in front of the building, nor anywhere in the side yard adjoining a street.
Design and Maintenance
1. Open and Enclosed Parking Spaces
  1. Accessory off-street parking spaces located on the same lot as occupied by the use served may be open to the sky or enclosed in a building or structure.
  2. Accessory off-street parking spaces that may be permitted in a location other than on the same lot occupied by the use shall be open to the sky except when an off-site storage garage or parking building or structure is approved for such required parking.
  3. Required open parking spaces in residential areas must be located in special parking bays or in parking areas serving two (2) or more dwelling units. Spaces provided merely in the street right-of-way shall not be counted in determining the number of parking spaces being provided.
2. Surfacing
  1. All open off-street parking areas and driveways for all uses except single-family residences shall be improved with an all-weather hard surface pavement including, at a minimum, a two inch (2”) bituminous concrete surface course, with a twelve inch (12”) minimum thickness aggregate base course, and six inch (6”) high perimeter concrete curbing (Type B or Type B6:12) installed in accordance with Illinois Department of Transportation specifications.
  2. All parking and driving areas for attached and detached single-family residences shall be improved with an all-weather hard surface (perimeter curbing shall not be required). (Amended by Ordinance A-834-9-01)

Intensity of illumination of parking areas shall not be less or more than the following standards: Except as otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this Ordinance, parking lot lights must be no more than 20 feet high and be limited by the following factors: an average lighting level of 1.0 foot candle with a minimum of 0.75 foot candle; a uniformity ratio of not greater than 4-to-1, and lighting distribution shall be provided by cut-off type fixtures. All such parking lot lighting shall be extinguished or reduced in intensity to not more than an average of 0.5 foot candles no later than 30 minutes after the close of business.
  3. Amortization: Lighting for accessory off-street parking areas regulated by this Section XI.C.9.c in existence on the effective date of this Ordinance and which is not in compliance with this Section XI.C.9.c, shall be regarded as non-conforming parking lot lighting. Such non-conforming parking lot lighting may be continued for a period of one (1) year from the effective date of this Ordinance if properly repaired and maintained as provided herein and as provided by other ordinances of the Village of Burr Ridge.
    At the end of this one (1) year period, all such non-conforming parking lot lighting shall thereafter comply with the requirements of Section XI.C.9.c.
4. Repair and Service
  No motor vehicle repair work of any kind shall be permitted in off-street parking areas. No gasoline or motor oil shall be sold in conjunction with any accessory parking facilities.

Unless such permitted off-site parking spaces are shared with and located on the same property as another use, they shall be located in a district where parking lots or storage garages are allowable principal uses. However, off-site parking areas shall comply with the regulations of Section XI.C.2 of this Ordinance for required accessory parking spaces not located on the same lot as the building or use served.

XI OFF-STREET

PARKING AND OFF-STREET LOADING

SCOPE OF REGULATIONS
The off-street parking and off-street loading provisions of this Ordinance shall apply as follows:
1. Accessory off-street parking and off-street loading facilities shall be provided as required by the regulations of this Section (unless specifically provided otherwise in this Ordinance) for all buildings and structures erected and all uses of land established in each district after the effective date of this Ordinance. However, where a building permit has been issued prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, 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 different amounts required by this Ordinance.
2. When the intensity of use of any building, structure, lot, or premises shall be increased through the addition of dwelling units, gross floor area, seating capacity, or other units of measurement as specified herein, additional parking and/or loading facilities shall be provided in the amount required for the increased intensity of use in accordance with the applicable standards set forth herein.
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 the said building or structure was erected prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, 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 Ordinance.
PERMISSIVE PARKING AND LOADING FACILITIES
Nothing in this Ordinance 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 there is adherence to all regulations herein governing the location, design, and operation of such facilities.

OFF-STREET PARKING

Existing Parking Facilities
Accessory off-street parking facilities in existence on the effective date of this Ordinance 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 Ordinance.
Control of Off-Street Parking Facilities
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 possession of the same title holder of record as the lot occupied by the building or use for which the parking facilities are accessory. A covenant running with the land must be recorded (in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of DuPage or Cook County, Illinois, or the Cook County Registrar of Titles, whichever is applicable) on the lot upon which the accessory off-street parking is located, which prohibits any other use on that lot, except as may be approved by the Village, and a certified copy of the recorded covenant must be deposited with the Community Development Director. The covenant shall not be released until such time as either one of the following conditions occur:
1. The building or structure on the lot containing the principal use is removed and the principal use terminated; 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 use lot.
Use
Accessory off-street parking facilities, as accessory to uses listed herein, shall be solely for the parking of automobiles of patrons, occupants, or employees. Except as otherwise permitted in the regulations for a specific district, truck parking and storage of any vehicles is prohibited unless within a completely enclosed building or structure. When bus transportation is provided for patrons, occupants or employees of a specific establishment, additional open or enclosed off-street parking spaces for each bus to be parked on the premises shall be provided in accordance with applicable regulations for such buses herein provided for.
Computation
When determination of the number of off-street parking spaces required by this Ordinance results in a requirement of a fractional space, any fraction of one-half or greater shall be counted as requiring one additional parking space.
Collective Provision (Shared Parking)
Off-street parking facilities for separate uses (which are located on either the same or different lots) may be provided in a shared parking area provided that the total number of parking spaces is equal to the sum of the parking spaces required for each use sharing the parking area, and provided that all regulations governing location of accessory parking spaces, in relation to the use served, are adhered to.
Dimensions
Off-street parking areas shall conform to minimum dimensions for parking space size and width and width of access aisles as set forth in Appendix V. Enclosed parking spaces shall have a vertical clearance of at least seven feet.
Access and Driveways
Each required off-street parking space shall open directly upon an aisle or driveway of a width and design in accordance with standards herein set forth in Appendix VI and in Section IV relating to distance from lot lines.

XI OFF-STREET

PARKING AND OFF-STREET LOADING

SCOPE OF REGULATIONS
The off-street parking and off-street loading provisions of this Ordinance shall apply as follows:
1. Accessory off-street parking and off-street loading facilities shall be provided as required by the regulations of this Section (unless specifically provided otherwise in this Ordinance) for all buildings and structures erected and all uses of land established in each district after the effective date of this Ordinance. However, where a building permit has been issued prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, 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 different amounts required by this Ordinance.
2. When the intensity of use of any building, structure, lot, or premises shall be increased through the addition of dwelling units, gross floor area, seating capacity, or other units of measurement as specified herein, additional parking and/or loading facilities shall be provided in the amount required for the increased intensity of use in accordance with the applicable standards set forth herein.
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 the said building or structure was erected prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, 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 Ordinance.
PERMISSIVE PARKING AND LOADING FACILITIES
Nothing in this Ordinance 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 there is adherence to all regulations herein governing the location, design, and operation of such facilities.

OFF-STREET PARKING

Existing Parking Facilities
Accessory off-street parking facilities in existence on the effective date of this Ordinance 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 Ordinance.
Control of Off-Street Parking Facilities
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 possession of the same title holder of record as the lot occupied by the building or use for which the parking facilities are accessory. A covenant running with the land must be recorded (in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of DuPage or Cook County, Illinois, or the Cook County Registrar of Titles, whichever is applicable) on the lot upon which the accessory off-street parking is located, which prohibits any other use on that lot, except as may be approved by the Village, and a certified copy of the recorded covenant must be deposited with the Community Development Director. The covenant shall not be released until such time as either one of the following conditions occur:
1. The building or structure on the lot containing the principal use is removed and the principal use terminated; 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 use lot.
Use
Accessory off-street parking facilities, as accessory to uses listed herein, shall be solely for the parking of automobiles of patrons, occupants, or employees. Except as otherwise permitted in the regulations for a specific district, truck parking and storage of any vehicles is prohibited unless within a completely enclosed building or structure. When bus transportation is provided for patrons, occupants or employees of a specific establishment, additional open or enclosed off-street parking spaces for each bus to be parked on the premises shall be provided in accordance with applicable regulations for such buses herein provided for.
Computation
When determination of the number of off-street parking spaces required by this Ordinance results in a requirement of a fractional space, any fraction of one-half or greater shall be counted as requiring one additional parking space.
Collective Provision (Shared Parking)
Off-street parking facilities for separate uses (which are located on either the same or different lots) may be provided in a shared parking area provided that the total number of parking spaces is equal to the sum of the parking spaces required for each use sharing the parking area, and provided that all regulations governing location of accessory parking spaces, in relation to the use served, are adhered to.
Dimensions
Off-street parking areas shall conform to minimum dimensions for parking space size and width and width of access aisles as set forth in Appendix V. Enclosed parking spaces shall have a vertical clearance of at least seven feet.
