The purpose of this section is to alleviate or prevent congestion of the public streets and to promote the safety and welfare of the public, by establishing minimum requirements for off street parking and loading and unloading of motor vehicles in accordance with the use of property.

   A.   General Provisions; Parking And Loading:

      1.   Procedure: An application for a building permit for a new or enlarged building, structure or use, shall include therewith a plot plan, drawn to scale and fully dimensioned, showing any parking or loading facilities to be provided in compliance with the requirements of these standards.

      2.   Scope Of Regulations: The off street parking and loading provisions herein shall apply as follows:

         a.   When the intensity of use of any building, structure, or premises shall be increased through addition of dwelling units, gross floor area, seating capacity (18 inches per seat), or other units of measurement specified herein for required parking or loading facilities, parking and loading facilities herein shall be provided for such increase in intensity of use.

However, no owner of a building or structure lawfully established prior to December 15, 2010, shall be required to provide such additional parking or loading facilities unless and until the uses established increase the parking requirements by fifteen percent (15%) or more measured by the requirements, existing on December 1, 2010, in which event parking or loading facilities as required herein shall be provided for the total increase.

         b.   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 December 15, 2010, 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 herein.

      3.   Existing Parking And Loading Facilities: Accessory off street parking or loading facilities that are located on the same lot as the building or use served, and that were in existence on December 15, 2010, or were provided voluntarily after such effective date shall not thereafter be reduced below; or if already less than, shall not further be reduced below the requirements of this section for a similar new building or use.

      4.   Permissive Parking And Loading Facilities: Nothing in this section 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, improvement, and operation of such facilities are adhered to.

      5.   Damage And Destruction: For any conforming or legally nonconforming building or use which is in existence on December 15, 2010, which subsequent thereto is damaged or destroyed by fire, collapse, explosion, or other cause, and which is reconstructed, reestablished, or repaired, off street 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 section for equivalent new uses or construction.

   B.   Additional Regulations; Parking:

      1.   Use Of Parking Facilities: Off street parking facilities accessory to residential use and developed in any residential district in accordance with the requirements of this section, shall be used solely for the parking of passenger automobiles and not more than one truck of not more than one and one-fourth (11/4) tons' capacity used by occupants of the dwelling structures to which such facilities are accessory. Under no circumstances shall required parking facilities accessory to residential structures be used for the storage of commercial vehicles or for the parking of automobiles belonging to the employees, owners, tenants, visitors, or customers of business or manufacturing establishments.

      2.   Joint Parking Facilities: Off street parking facilities for different buildings, structures, or uses, or for mixed uses, may be provided collectively in any zoning district in which separate parking facilities for each constituent use would be permitted, provided that the total number of spaces so located together shall not be less than the sum of the separate requirements for each use.

   C.   Design And Maintenance Standards:

      1.   Applicability: The following design and maintenance standards shall apply to all accessory parking facilities and to all commercial or public parking facilities built as a primary land use.

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 movements.

         c.   Roads, pedestrian walks, and open space shall be designed as integral parts of an overall site design. They shall be properly related to existing and proposed building and appropriate landscaping.

         d.   Buildings, vehicular circulation, and open spaces shall be arranged so that pedestrians moving between buildings are not unnecessarily exposed to vehicular traffic.

         e.   Landscaped, paved, and comfortably graded pedestrian walks shall be provided along the lines of the most intense use, particularly from building entrances to streets, parking areas, and adjacent buildings.

            (3)   In addition to any landscaped front, back, or side yard areas required by this or any other section, a minimum of ten (10) square feet of interior landscaped area for each parking space, shall be provided within a parking lot which has thirty (30) or more parking spaces. The landscaping shall be in one or more areas so as to minimize and reduce the apparent size of parking areas.

            (4)   All interior landscaped areas provided in accordance with the preceding paragraph, shall be raised and curbed and shall have a minimum area of thirty (30) square feet and a minimum width of five feet (5').

The landscaped strip shall be at least five feet (5') in width along any front or side property line abutting a public or private street. More restrictive standards for yards or buffering shall govern where required by this chapter.

            (9)   All landscaped areas in parking areas or adjacent to parking or loading areas, or that can be encroached upon by a motor vehicle, shall be provided with an adequate permanent curb as approved by the village engineer to restrict the destruction of the landscaped areas by vehicles.

      9.   Number Of Entrances And Exits To Parking Lots: There shall be not more than one entrance and one exit or one combined entrance and exit along any street unless same is deemed necessary by the plan commission and/or village engineer for the alleviation of traffic congestion and interference of traffic movement along such street. The maximum width for entrances and exits shall be thirty five feet (35') for commercial and industrial and thirty feet (30') for residential.

      10.   Maintenance: Any persons operating or owning a parking lot shall keep it free, as may be practical, of dust and loose particles and shall promptly remove the snow and ice from the surface of the parking lot. Such persons shall also keep all adjacent sidewalks free from dirt, ice, sleet, and snow and shall keep the sidewalks in a safe condition for use by pedestrians. All signs, markers, or any other methods used to indicate direction of traffic movement and location of parking spaces shall be maintained in a neat and legible condition. Likewise any walls, landscaping, including trees and shrubbery, as well as surfacing and curbing of the parking lot, shall be maintained in good condition throughout its use for parking purposes. The village shall have the authority to prohibit use of the area for parking purposes unless and until proper maintenance, repair, or rehabilitation is completed, including the replacement of any landscaping material which may die from time to time, or the failure of the landscape irrigation or surface drainage system within the parking area.
