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.

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 all regulations herein governing the location, design, and operation of such facilities are adhered to.

When any conforming or non-conforming building or use which is in existence on the effective date of this ordinance 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 50 percent of the replacement 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.

Each storm water management plan will include, at a minimum a topographical drawing of the property with contours showing how storm water will be carried to publicly maintained storm water management facilities without diverting or encroaching additional storm water drainage onto adjacent properties.

In either case, a covenant running with the land must be recorded in the office of the recorder of deeds of Cook County, Illinois for the lot upon which the accessory off-street parking is located with the same requirements and conditions attaching to such substitute accessory use lot as would otherwise apply for such facilities. Copies of the recorded covenants and the lease agreements, if any, shall be deposited at the office of the zoning administrator. The covenants shall not be released and the lease agreement shall not be terminated until such time as either one of the following conditions occur:

8.4(11)(a) The structure on the lot containing the principal use is terminated; or

8.4(11)(b) 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 the initial lot used for accessory off-street parking with the same requirements, covenants, and conditions attaching to such substitute accessory use lot as approved by the same authority as required for approval of such initial use lot.

8.4(12) Parking and storage of trailers. Trailers may be parked on a regular basis only in locations approved by the village board of trustees.
