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

A.

Accessory off-street parking and off-street loading facilities shall be provided as required by the regulations of this chapter for all buildings and structures erected, altered, or enlarged and all uses of land established in each district.

B.

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 in the amount specified herein requiring parking or loading facilities, such required parking and loading facilities for only the addition shall be provided.

C.

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 building or structure was erected prior to the effective date of this title, 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 title.

Nothing in this title 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.

When any conforming or nonconforming building or use which is in existence on the effective date of this title, 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 sixty (60) 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. However, in no case shall it be necessary to restore or maintain parking or loading facilities in excess of those required by this title for equivalent new uses or construction.

Accessory off-street parking facilities in existence on the effective date of this title and location 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 title.

The total number of required parking and loading spaces shall be based upon the requirements for the principal use of the lot. However, when more than one use occupies the same lot, the number of required spaces shall be the sum of the separate requirements for each use. All off-street parking facilities shall be completed before occupancy of the building or structure served. In computing the number of off-street parking or loading spaces required by this section, the following standards for computation shall apply:

A.

Space allocated to any off-street loading space shall not be used to satisfy the requirement for any off-street parking space or access aisle, or portion thereof. Conversely, the area allocated to any off-street parking space shall not be used to satisfy the replacement for any off-street loading space or portion thereof.

B.

A fraction of less than one-half may be disregarded, and a fraction of one-half or more shall be counted as one parking or loading space.

C.

In places of assembly in which patrons or spectators occupy benches, pews or similar seating facilities, each eighteen (18) inches of such seating facility shall be counted as one seat for the purpose of determining the requirement for off-street parking facilities.

D.

Except as otherwise specified, parking or loading spaces required on an employee basis shall be based on fifty (50) percent of the maximum number of employees normally present on the premises at any one time. When the determination of the number of parking spaces is based on the number of employees, the owner and/or manager shall be counted as an employee(s).

A.

Site Plan Review Required. Site plan review by the zoning officer is required prior to any construction, alteration or addition of any parking facility providing ten (10) or more parking spaces, and for any loading facility. For purposes of this section, construction, alteration or addition shall include all paving of previously unpaved surfaces, replacement of pavement with new binder and surface courses, construction of curbing, installation of new parking lot landscaping, and similar activities. Construction, alteration or addition shall not include maintenance activities such as replacement of existing landscaping, repair of existing curbing, repairs, sealing, re-striping, or placement of surface course pavement over previously paved areas. No permit shall be required for maintenance activities.

B.

Time of Completion. Off-street parking and loading facilities required by this section shall be completed prior to the issuance of the occupancy permit for the use they serve. If weather conditions do not permit such completion, the zoning administrator may issue a temporary occupancy certificate.

A.

Off-street parking spaces for individual uses may be provided collectively if the total number of spaces provided is equal to or greater than the sum of the spaces required for each individual use. No parking space, or portion of a space, shall serve as the required space for more than one similar use, but can be shared among two or more individual uses under the following shared parking arrangements described in subsection (B) below.

B.

The use of a particular parking facility shall not occur by each use at the same time. The use with the highest demand must provide all required spaces. No shared use of parking spaces shall be permitted unless:

1.

The users of the shared parking facility shall sign an agreement, approved by the village attorney, expressing the intent to share parking facilities. This agreement shall be filed with the village and recorded with the Cook County Recorder of Deeds.

2.

Approval is obtained from the zoning administrator that confirms that the use of such facility by each user does not take place at the same hours during the same days of the week.

3.

The location and design requirements of this section are met.

4.

Any subsequent change in ownership or use shall require proof that the minimum parking requirements, per this section, have been met for each use. The owner of a building or use shall have one-hundred eighty (180) days within which to accommodate all required off-street parking or to apply for a variance. If the owner is unable to accommodate the parking or fails to apply for a variance, then the occupancy certificate shall be revoked with respect to the building or use for which the separate parking was required. The occupancy certificate shall be reinstated when all applicable provisions of this section are complied with. As an alternative to a variance, a new shared parking agreement may be arranged in accordance with this section.

The zoning officer may permit land banking of up to twenty-five (25) percent of the required parking spaces through the review and approval process.

A.

Sufficient evidence shall be provided by the applicant that supports the reduced parking needs.

B.

The area proposed for land banking of parking spaces shall be an area suitable for parking at a future time.

C.

Landscaping of the land banked area shall be in full compliance of the zoning regulations and at a minimum landscaped with turf. As a result of the plan review and approval process, the zoning officer may require additional landscaping of the land-banked area.

D.

The land banking area cannot be used for any other use without amendment of the site plan.

E.

As part of the plan review and approval process, the applicant shall show the area to be banked on the site plan and marked as "land banked future parking."

F.

The zoning administrator, on the basis of increased parking demand for the use, shall require the conversion of all or part of the land-banked area to off-street parking spaces.

A.

Residential Uses.

1.

All required parking spaces for residential uses shall be located on the same lot as the building or use served.

2.

For single- and two-family dwellings, parking shall be permitted in private driveways, but no such parking may encroach onto the public right-of-way.

3.

No less than fifty (50) percent of all required parking in a residential district shall be provided in a completely enclosed building. However, parking located beneath a structure that is no less than four feet below grade, as defined by this title, may be unenclosed, but must be screened from the public right-of-way by landscaping.
