(a)

Scope of Regulations. The off-street parking and loading provisions of this Chapter 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 Chapter is derived, accessory parking and loading facilities shall be provided as required in this Chapter. 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 six months of such effective date and diligently prosecuted to completion (completion to be accomplished within eighteen (18) months of the effective date of the ordinance from which this Chapter is derived), 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 Chapter.

(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 and for at least fifty (50) percent of any existing deficiency in parking or loading facilities.

(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 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 in existence on the effective date of the ordinance from which this Chapter is derived and located on the same lot as the building or use served shall not hereafter be reduced below, or if already less than, shall not be further reduced below, the requirements for a similar new building or use under the provisions of this Chapter.

(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, and operation of such facilities are adhered to.

(d)

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 subsequently 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 need not be provided, except that 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 restore or maintain parking or loading facilities in excess of those required by this Chapter for equivalent new uses or construction.

(e)

Submission of Site Plan. Any application for a building permit, or for an occupancy certificate where no building permit is required, shall include therewith a site plan — drawn to scale and fully dimensioned — showing any off-street parking or loading facilities to be provided in compliance with this Chapter. Such scaled drawing shall show all lot boundaries of the subject lot, the boundaries of all adjoining lots and locations of all buildings thereon, and the locations of all trees with trunks greater than eight inches in diameter as of the date of the request or application.

(a)

General Requirements.

(1)

Exemption. When the application of the off-street provisions specified in subsection (b) results in a requirement of not more than three parking spaces on a single zoning lot in any office, commercial or industrial district, such parking spaces need not be provided; however, where two or more uses are located on a single zoning lot, only one of those uses shall be eligible for the above exemption.

(2)

CBC district, CBOC district and CBOCR district parking regulations. In the CBC district, CBOC district and CBOCR district for the purpose of minimizing disruptive curb-cuts and driveways and to encourage the consolidation of parking space in appropriate locations, accessory off-street parking is not required except for residential uses. This policy of discouraging fragmented parking lots is also intended to promote a more compact and viable central business district and foster the objectives of the comprehensive plan for the central area.

Residential parking located in the areas identified in the Residential Parking Zones Map, as depicted on Exhibit "C", shall be provided in accordance with the following requirements:

Tier 1:1 parking spaces per dwelling unit.

Tier 2:1.25 parking spaces per dwelling unit.

Tier 3:1.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit.

NT District: Two parking spaces per dwelling unit.

(3)

Location.

(A)

All parking spaces required to serve buildings or uses erected or established after the effective date of the ordinance from which this Chapter is derived shall be located on the same zoning lot as the building or use served, except that parking spaces to serve office, commercial or industrial buildings or uses may be located within three hundred (300) feet of such use if said spaces are located in an office, commercial or industrial district, or are located in a residence district on a lot which abuts the office commercial or industrial district, provided, however, that parking lots established on such residential lots must first be approved in accordance with Section 22.26.

(B)

Parking lots accessory to a conditional use in a residence district are allowed as a conditional use. Such parking lots may be located on the same zoning lot occupied by the principal use, or may be located on a lot abutting the lot on which the principal use is located, or may be located on a lot across a right-of-way from the lot on which the principal use is located.

(C)

Buildings or uses existing on the effective date of the ordinance from which this Chapter is derived which are subsequently altered or enlarged so as to require the provision of parking spaces under this Chapter, may be served by parking facilities located on land other than the zoning lot on which the building or use served is located, provided such facilities are within three hundred (300) feet walking distance of a main entrance to the use served. Owners of property, nonconforming as to parking, who elect to provide parking and become conforming, may locate such parking on land other than the zoning lot on which the building or use is located, as allowed in this Section.

(D)

Off-street parking spaces, open to the sky, may be located in any yard except the required front yard or corner side yard in a residential or industrial district. Enclosed buildings and carports containing off-street parking shall be subject to applicable yard requirements. However, any parking spaces provided within the required front or corner side yard in an office or commercial district shall be set back at least twenty-five (25) feet from the property line except that if no required front or corner side yard is established in any such district, no parking setback shall be required.

(4)

Control of Off-Site Parking Facilities. In cases where parking facilities are permitted on land other than the zoning lot on which the building or use served is located, such facilities shall be in the same possession as the zoning lot occupied by the building or use to which the parking facilities are accessory. Such possession may be either by deed or long-term lease, the term of such lease to be determined by the Zoning and Planning Commission; and such deed or lease shall be filed with the Zoning Administrator. The deed or lease shall require such owner or his or her heirs and assigns to maintain the required number of parking facilities for the duration of the use served or of the deed or lease, whichever shall terminate sooner.

(5)

Size. Size requirements for parking spaces shall be as hereinafter set forth in Figure 1, Off-Street Parking Chart.

(6)

Access. Except on single-family residential lots, each off-street parking space shall open directly upon an aisle or driveway at least twelve (12) feet wide or such additional width and design as to provide safe and efficient means of vehicular access to such parking space. All off-street parking facilities shall be designed with appropriate means of vehicular access to a street or alley in a manner which will least interfere with traffic movement. In any event, all driveways shall conform to all applicable driveway specifications adopted by the City.

(7)

Collective Provision. Off-street parking facilities for separate uses may be provided collectively if the total number of spaces so provided is not less than the sum of the separate requirements of each such use and all regulations governing location of accessory parking spaces in relation to the use served are adhered to. Further, no parking space or portion thereof shall serve as a required space for more than one use unless otherwise authorized by the Zoning Board of Appeals.

(8)

Landbanking of Required Parking.

(A)

Landbanking of Required Parking. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Chapter, the City Council, upon recommendation of the Zoning and Planning Commission, may, by conditional permit granted pursuant to Section 22.26, reduce the total number of off-street parking spaces required to be paved pursuant to subsection (b), subject to acceptance by the property owner of the conditions set forth in subsections (a)(8)(B)—(D).

(B)

Termination of Landbanking. The City Council shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to require the property owner or his or her successor, at any time, to increase the number of parking spaces provided to serve said development up to the maximum required by subsection (b) for the property in question as if no conditional permit for landbanking had been granted.

(C)

Alternate Plans Required. Every application for a conditional use permit to allow landbanking of required parking spaces shall be accompanied by alternate detailed parking plans. One plan shall show the total number of spaces required pursuant to subsection (b). The other plan shall show the proposed number of spaces to be provided pursuant to the conditional permit being sought and shall also show the landscaping treatment of areas proposed to be reserved for future parking requirements. Both such plans shall show the location on the site of all parking areas, the exact number of parking spaces to be provided, and complete details for:

(i)

Wheel stops,

(ii)

Markings,

(iii)

Curbing,

(iv)

Surfacing,

(v)

Screening and landscaping,

(vi)

Lighting,

(vii)

Signing, and

(viii)

Access.

The design plans for such parking areas shall be subject to the approval of the City Council.

(D)

Open Space Covenant. As a condition of granting such conditional permit, the applicant shall file with the City Manager his unconditional agreement and covenant in form and substance satisfactory to the City Attorney that areas reserved for future parking shall be maintained as landscaped open space until and unless required to be used for off-street parking pursuant to such conditional permit. The ordinance granting such permit, together with such agreement and covenant, shall be recorded with the Recorder of Deeds of DuPage County, Illinois.

(9)

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 less than one-half or more, shall be counted as one parking space. Parking spaces required on an employee basis shall be based on the maximum number of employees on duty or residing or both, on the premises at any one time.

(10)

Utilization. Except as may otherwise be provided for the parking of trucks in the granting of conditional uses, required accessory off-street parking facilities provided for uses listed in subsection (b) shall be solely for the parking of passenger automobiles of patrons, occupants, or employees of such uses.

(11)

Parking for the Handicapped. Within all parking lots or garages, parking spaces shall be reserved for the handicapped as required by the State of Illinois Capital Development Board, as contained within the Illinois Accessibility Code.

(12)

Design and Maintenance.

(A)

Plan. The design of parking lots or areas shall be subject to the approval of the Zoning Administrator or in the case of conditional uses the Zoning and Planning Commission and City Council, under the guidelines established in Section 22.49, site plan requirements.

(B)

Character. Accessory parking spaces may be open to the sky, or enclosed in a building.

(C)

Surfacing. All driveways and parking areas shall be surfaced with asphaltic or Portland cement paving and constructed in accordance with the City Building Code, with asphalt paving to be not less than six inches compacted granular base course with one and one-half inches asphalt surfacing.

(D)

Screening and Landscaping. All open vehicle parking lots or areas containing more than four parking spaces shall be effectively screened on each side adjoining or fronting on property situated in a residence district or any institutional premises by a wall, fence, or densely planted compact hedge not less than four feet nor more than eight feet in height. However, the Board of Appeals may waive this requirement if the closest point of such parking area is at least seventy-five (75) feet from the nearest residential or institutional property line.

(E)

Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate off-street parking areas shall be directed away from residential properties and public streets in such a way as not to create a nuisance. However, in no case shall such lighting exceed 0.2-foot-candle measured at the lot line. All lighting shall conform to standards adopted by the City Department of Public Works.

(F)

Cleaning and Maintenance. Except in the industrial districts, no cleaning or maintenance of parking lots utilizing motorized equipment may be performed between 11:30 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. each day, except for the removal of snow.

(G)

Wheel Stops (Curbs). All parking lots shall be provided with continuous curbs or wheel stops so located on the periphery of parking lots that no part of parked vehicles shall extend beyond the property line. Such curbs shall be properly anchored or secured.

(H)

Specific Requirements. All off-street parking spaces hereinafter required by this Chapter, except those required for one- and two-family dwellings, shall be designed in accordance with one of the formula set forth in Table 1, Off-Street Parking Chart, which chart is attached hereto and made a part hereof. Off-street parking spaces shall be provided in accordance with the specific parking classes as hereinafter set forth in the off-street parking table (parking classes) except within the CI local shopping district, CBC district and CBOC district and CBOCR district. No more than three spaces are allowed per one thousand (1,000) square feet of gross floor area and no more than twenty (20) spaces may be provided except by approval of a conditional use permit in the CBC and CBOC. Parking spaces for accessory uses not specifically enumerated within a parking class shall be assumed to be included in the principal (permitted or conditional) use requirement. If, for any reason the classification of any use, for the purpose of determining the amount of off-street parking, or the number of spaces to be provided by such use is not readily determinable hereunder, the parking class of such use shall be established by the Zoning Administrator.

A sixty-five (65) foot rear setback measured from the westerly edge of the alley right-of-way, as it existed on August 21, 2000, is required for the parcels fronting along the east side of York Road between Third Street and North Avenue.
