This article addresses site elements such as, but not limited to, parking, loading and unloading space, landscaping, fences and drives. In addition to requirements prescribed in this article, the provisions of article I of this chapter also apply.

(Ord. No. 202, art. 8(intro. ¶), 11-6-2017)

It is the intent of this chapter that parking spaces shall be provided and adequately maintained by each property owner in every zoning district for the off-street storage of motor vehicles for the use of occupants, employees and patrons of each building and premises constructed, altered or enlarged under the provisions of this chapter. All vehicles shall be stored on the premises occupied by the principal building, but may be stored on premises located outside the premises within specifically limited walking distances as specified in this article.

(Ord. No. 202, art. 8, § 1, 11-6-2017)

There shall be provided in all districts at the time of erection or enlargement of any main building or structure, automobile off-street parking space with adequate access to all spaces. The proper number of parking spaces for any given use as specified in this article shall be provided.

(1)

Required off-street parking spaces shall consist of a parking strip, parking bay, driveway, garage, or combination thereof and shall be located on the premises they are intended to serve.

(2)

Location of off-street parking for other than residential use shall be either on the same lot or within 300 feet of the building it is intended to serve, measured from the nearest point of the building to the nearest point of the off-street parking lot. Ownership shall be shown of all lots or parcels intended for use as parking by the applicant on the site plan.

(3)

The number of required off-street parking spaces may be reduced by the number of on-street parking spaces directly in front of the subject property.

(4)

The joint use of parking facilities in a PD shall be approved by the planning commission as part of the PD review and approval process, all other joint use of parking facilities by two or more uses may be granted by the planning commission whenever such use is practical and satisfactory to each of the uses intended to be served, and when all requirements for location, design, and construction are met.

a.

The total number of parking spaces shall not be less than the sum of the requirements of the space requirements computed separately and discounted based on the table in section 42-166.

b.

A copy of an agreement between joint users shall be filed with the application for a building permit and recorded with the register of deeds of the county. The agreement shall include a guarantee for continued long-term use and maintenance of the parking facility by each party.

(5)

In cases of uses not specifically mentioned, the requirements of off-street parking spaces shall be in accord with the use which the zoning administrator considers is similar in type. The zoning administrator may consult parking standards publications from the American Planning Association and other parking ordinances from adjacent communities in making a determination.

(6)

Off-street parking areas shall not be used for commercial repair work, storage of merchandise, or servicing or selling of trucks or motor vehicles. Parking space shall be used only for the parking of vehicles used to service the establishment to which it is accessory and by its patrons, unless a dual use agreement is in place as provided in subsection (4) of this section.

(7)

Whenever a use requiring off-street parking is increased in floor area, or when interior building modifications result in an increase in capacity for any premises use, additional parking shall be provided and maintained in the proper ratio to the use change increased floor area or capacity. Additional parking shall be provided at the time of enlargement and prior to receipt of a certificate of zoning compliance.

(8)

The outdoor parking of motor vehicles in residential districts shall be limited to registered and licensed passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles built on a chassis which is rated one ton or less and not exceeding 10,000 pounds in gross vehicle weight, except when said vehicles are associated with the use permitted by a special use permit pursuant to article IV of this chapter.

(9)

No parking area or parking space or loading area which exists at the time this section becomes effective or which subsequent thereto is provided for the purpose of complying with the provisions of this chapter shall thereafter be relinquished or reduced in any manner below the requirements established by this chapter unless and until equal or better facilities are approved and provided.

(10)

The right-of-way of any village street or state highway shall not be used for off-street parking or loading without the written permission of the county road commission for county roads, the village for local streets or the state department of transportation for state highways, as applicable.

(Ord. No. 202, art. 8, § 2, 11-6-2017)

(a)

All land uses shall provide parking spaces that conform with the requirements of this section.

(b)

The zoning administrator may waive site plan review for a fence in any other district if no other structural changes or changes in the design or layout of the site are proposed.

(7)

The zoning administrator may require the removal, reconstruction or repair of any fence, wall or screen not in good condition.

(8)

The location, design and construction of the fence shall not hinder emergency response.

(Ord. No. 202, art. 8, § 16, 11-6-2017)

(a)

Time period to complete. The required improvements are to be completed within one year of the issuance of the zoning permit. In the event of unusual delays, or adverse weather conditions that make it impossible to plant, the planning commission may grant a single extension of the time limit for a further period of not more than six months.

(b)

Occupancy. No occupancy of land shall occur unless the parking and landscape improvements have been completed or a performance guarantee to cover the cost of the contemplated improvements, as estimated by the zoning administrator, has been deposited with the village pursuant to the requirements of this chapter.

(c)

Performance guarantee. The planning commission may, on multiple-family residential properties, PDs and nonresidential land properties, due to weather conditions, seasonal availability of plant materials, or other factors, require a performance guarantee equal to the estimated cost of the plant material and installation cost. Such performance guarantee shall be related to the various vegetation or planting plans shown on the site plan. Such performance guarantee shall be processed according to the requirements of this chapter.

(Ord. No. 202, art. 8, § 17, 11-6-2017)

Any of the requirements of this article may be waived or modified through site plan approval, provided the planning commission makes a written finding that specifically identified characteristics of the site or site vicinity would make required landscaping, fencing, buffering or screening unnecessary or ineffective, or where it would impair vision at a driveway or street intersection.

Table 8-3. Bicycle Requirements

(Ord. No. 202, art. 8, § 19, 11-6-2017)

(a)

The purpose of this section is to regulate commercial and noncommercial outdoor signs in a manner which recognizes the communication needs of both businesses and other parties; protects property values and neighborhood character; creates a more attractive business climate; promotes pedestrian and traffic safety by reducing sign distractions, obstructions and other hazards; and promotes pleasing community environmental aesthetics.

(b)

Compliance with this chapter does not relieve the applicant of the responsibility for compliance with other village, state or federal sign regulations, nor does the issuance of a zoning permit grant permission to the applicant to place signs on any property, including road rights-of-way, other than property owned or otherwise legally under the control of the applicant. The issuance of a zoning permit only assures the applicant that the sign meets the requirements of this chapter.

(c)

Except as otherwise provided in this section, no sign may be constructed, erected, moved, enlarged, illuminated or substantially altered unless a zoning permit has been issued in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. Mere repainting or changing the message of a sign shall not in and of itself be considered a substantial alteration.

(d)

The following signs are permitted without a zoning permit, but shall conform to the requirements set forth herein as well as all other applicable requirements of this article:

(1)

One sign not exceeding six square feet in sign face area that is customarily associated with residential use and that is not of a commercial nature, such as signs giving property identification.

(2)

Signs not exceeding 2½ square feet in sign face, on mailboxes or newspaper tubes, and signs posted on private property relating to private parking, or warning the public against trespassing or danger from animals.

(7)

Signs directing and guiding traffic on private property that do not exceed four square feet each and that bear no advertising matter.

(8)

Informational signs not exceeding one square foot in sign face.

(9)

A total of two banners, one banner and one commercial advertising flag, or two commercial advertising flags, each such banner or commercial advertising flag not to exceed 24 square feet in sign face, used to attract attention to a community activity or event.

(10)

Street name signs located in accord with the village and/or county road commission standards at street intersections, not to exceed one square foot in sign face.

(e)

For the purpose of determining the number of signs, a sign shall be considered to be a single display surface or display device containing elements organized, related, and composed to form a unit. Where matter is displayed in a random manner without organized relationship of elements, each element shall be considered a single sign.

(f)

A two-sided or multi-sided sign shall be regarded as one sign so long as:

(1)

With respect to a V-type sign, the two sides are at no point separated by a distance that exceeds five feet; and

(2)

With respect to double-faced (back to back) signs, the distance between the backs of each face of the sign does not exceed three feet.

(g)

Table 8-4 includes the type and size of sign by zoning district.
