Parking
§ 435.9-01 Legislative findings.
The Village Board makes the following legislative findings:
A.
The design of parking areas is critically important to the economic viability of commercial areas, pedestrian and driver safety, the efficient and safe operation of adjoining streets, and community image, livability and sustainability.
B.
Standards are needed to establish the minimum and maximum number of parking spaces that are needed to serve various land uses.
C.
Excessively large parking lots reduce density, increase the cost of development, create an unhealthy built environment, contribute to the "heat island" effect associated with urban areas, and decrease the infiltration of stormwater into the ground.
D.
Special standards are needed to accommodate the needs of the disabled.
E.
Shared parking can reduce parking facility costs (including aesthetic and environmental impacts), allows greater flexibility in facility location and site design, and encourages more efficient land use.
F.
Parking lots and their access points represent a vital connection between the local transportation network and land development.
G.
Incorrectly designed parking lots and site access points can have negative impacts on the site itself, the adjacent and nearby public roadways, and the image of the business community.
§ 435.9-02 Purpose.
This article promotes the public health, safety, and general welfare and is intended to:
A.
Increase the safety and capacity of public streets by requiring off-street parking or off-street loading facilities;
B.
Minimize adverse effects of off-street parking and off-street loading facilities on adjacent properties and surrounding neighborhoods through the requirement of design and maintenance standards;
C.
Lessen congestion and prevent the overtaxing of public streets by regulating the location and capacity of accessory off-street parking and off-street loading facilities;
D.
Maintain and enhance a safe and efficient transportation system;
E.
Provide adequate and safe facilities for the storage of bicycles; and
F.
Minimize impervious surfaces.
§ 435.9-03 Applicability.
A.

B.
Same use with an increase in intensity of use. When a building, structure, or premises is increased through the addition of dwelling units, gross floor area, seating capacity, or other unit of measurement specified in this article, facilities required in this article shall be provided for the amount being added.
C.
Change in use. When an existing land use is changed to a new use, facilities required in this article shall be provided as required for such new use. However, if the building or structure housing the new use was erected prior to the effective date of this chapter, facilities required in this article shall be provided to account for the difference between the new and old use.
D.
Restriping. When a parking area is restriped, accessible parking spaces shall be provided and designated consistent with this article.
§ 435.9-04 General requirements.
A.
Location of parking. All parking spaces provided pursuant to this article shall be on the same lot or an adjoining lot with the building, except that the Zoning Administrator may permit the parking spaces to be on a lot within 400 feet of the building if he or she determines that it is impractical to provide parking on the same or an adjoining lot.
B.
Off-site parking agreements. If required parking is to be provided off site, the use of such site shall be secured with a long-term agreement acceptable to the Village and recorded in the office of the Village Clerk. The Village shall be named in that agreement as a party having the right of enforcement.
C.
Change in use. An area once designated as required parking shall not be changed to any other use unless equal facilities are provided elsewhere consistent with this article.
D.
Accessibility. Parking spaces shall be accessible at all times from a street, alley, or driveway intended to serve such parking.
E.
Use of parking spaces. The required off-street parking shall be for occupants, employees, visitors, and patrons. The storage of merchandise, supplies, or motor vehicles for sale or the repair of vehicles on such parking areas is prohibited. In addition, the use of a parking lot for overnight camping, including recreational vehicle camping, is prohibited.
F.
Landscaping. Landscaping for parking areas shall be provided consistent with Article 8 of this chapter.
§ 435.9-05 Minimum off-street parking requirements.
A.
Minimum number of spaces. Off-street parking spaces shall be provided in the number specified in Exhibit 9-1.
B.
Maximum number of spaces. For land uses located in a commercial, mixed-use, or industrial zoning district, the number of parking spaces provided in a ground surface parking lot shall not exceed the minimum number of parking spaces by more than 10%, except that the Planning Commission may allow more parking spaces above that threshold as a special exception provided the Commission determines that additional spaces are needed for that particular use or location. There shall be no limitation on the number of parking spaces when located in a parking garage or similar structure.
C.
Mixed-use requirements. For mixed uses, the minimum total requirements for off-street parking spaces shall be 80% of the sum of the requirements for the various land uses.

C.
Location. Accessible spaces serving a particular building shall be located on the shortest accessible route of travel between the parking and the accessible entrance. When there are multiple entrances to a building of similar prominence (e.g., shopping mall) with nearby parking, accessible spaces shall be dispersed and provided at each location. In parking facilities that do not serve a particular building, accessible parking shall be located on the shortest accessible route of travel to an accessible pedestrian entrance of the parking facility.
D.
Dimensions. Accessible parking spaces shall be at least 96 inches wide (Exhibit 9-5).
Exhibit 9-5. Layout of Standard and Van-Accessible Parking Spaces  |
E.
Vertical clearance. For van-accessible parking spaces, a clearance 98 inches high shall be maintained above the space, access aisle, and on the route to and from the van-accessible space, per Section 502.6, ICC/ANSI A117.1-2003, as may be amended.
F.
Maximum slope. Accessible spaces and adjoining access aisles shall have a maximum slope of 1:48 in all directions. When accessible spaces are provided in an existing parking lot, the spaces shall be located on the most level surface close to the accessible building entrance.
G.
Signage. Each accessible space shall be so designated with a sign identified by the International Symbol of Accessibility mounted on a vertical pole. In addition, van-accessible spaces shall be so designated with a sign indicating "Van Accessible." Such signs shall be located so they cannot be obscured by a vehicle parked in the space (at least six feet in height).
H.
Pavement striping and markings. Access aisles shall be marked so as to discourage parking in them and car and van parking spaces shall be marked to define the width per Sections 502.3 and 502.4, ICC/ANSI A117.1-2003, as may be amended.
I.
Accessible route. An accessible route must be provided from the accessible parking space to the accessible entrance of the building. It shall be at least 36 inches wide, without steps or curbs. It shall be paved and not contain any feature that would restrict, inhibit, or unreasonably impede the movement of a physically disabled individual.
J.
Access aisle. An access aisle for an accessible space shall be the same length as the adjacent parking space it serves and be at least 60 inches wide for car access and 96 inches wide for van accessibility. Two adjoining accessible parking spaces may share a common access aisle (Exhibit 9-5). An access aisle for a passenger loading zone shall be 60 inches wide and 20 feet long and adjacent and parallel to the space.
