La Grange Park City Zoning Code
OFF-STREET PARKING
AND LOADING
§ 153.205 PURPOSE.
The off-street parking and loading regulations of this subchapter are intended to provide accessible, attractive, secure and well-maintained off-street parking and loading areas with the appropriate number of spaces in proportion to the needs of the proposed use, increase public safety by reducing congestion of public streets, and encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation where appropriate.
(Ord. 929, passed 1-25-11; Ord. 1076, passed 1-23-18)
§ 153.206 GENERAL PROVISIONS.
The provisions of this subchapter shall apply as follows:
(A) Existing facilities.
(1) The existing number of off-street parking and loading spaces shall not be reduced below the requirements of this subchapter. If the number of such existing spaces is already less than the requirements of this subchapter, it shall not be further reduced.
(2) Existing off-street parking and loading areas which do not conform to the requirements of this subchapter, but were in conformance with the requirements of this Code at the time the parking or loading facilities were established, are permitted to continue as a legal nonconforming structure.
(3) If a building permit for a building or structure was lawfully issued prior to the effective date of this Code, and if construction has begun within 180 days of the issuance of a permit, the number of off-street parking and loading spaces shall be provided in the amount required for the issuance of said building permit, regardless of what may be required by this subchapter.
(B) Damage or destruction. When a building is reconstructed or repaired after being damaged or destroyed, off-street parking and loading facilities shall be restored or maintained in an amount equivalent to that at the time of such damage or destruction. However, it shall not be necessary to restore or maintain parking and loading facilities in excess of the applicable requirements of this subchapter.
(C) Change in land use. When the existing use of a structure or land is changed to a new use, parking and loading spaces shall be provided as required for the new use. Additional parking or loading spaces shall be required in the amount by which the requirements for the new use exceed the requirements for the existing use.
(D) Change in intensity of use.
(1) When the intensity of use of any structure or land is increased, additional parking and loading spaces shall be provided. The number of additional parking and loading spaces shall be based on the increase in the number of dwelling units, gross floor area, seating capacity, or other unit of measurement used to calculate the number of required number of parking or loading spaces.
(2) When the intensity of use of any structure or land is decreased, the number of parking and loading spaces may be reduced so long as the parking requirements of this subchapter are met for the entire structure or land as modified.
(E) Provision of additional spaces. Nothing in this subchapter shall be deemed to prevent the voluntary establishment of additional off-street parking or loading facilities, provided that all regulations governing the location, design and control of such facilities are in accordance with this subchapter.
(Ord. 929, passed 1-25-11; Ord. 1076, passed 1-23-18) Penalty, see § 153.999
§ 153.207 COMPUTATION.
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 structure. In computing the number of off-street parking or loading spaces required by this subchapter, 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 24 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 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).
(Ord. 929, passed 1-25-11; Ord. 1076, passed 1-23-18)
§ 153.208 CONSTRUCTION OF PARKING AND LOADING FACILITIES.
(A) Site plan review required. Site plan review, in accordance with § 153.060, is required prior to any construction, alteration or addition of any parking facility providing ten or more parking spaces, and for the construction of a new loading berth. For purposes of this subchapter, 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 subchapter shall be completed prior to the issuance of the occupancy permit for the use they serve.
(Ord. 929, passed 1-25-11; Ord. 1076, passed 1-23-18) Penalty, see § 153.999
§ 153.209 COLLECTIVE PROVISIONS.
(A) Off-street parking spaces for separate uses may be provided collectively if the aggregate number of spaces provided is not less than the sum of the spaces required for each use separately. No parking or loading space, or portion thereof, shall serve as the required space for more than one use with the exception of the following shared parking arrangement described in division (B) below.
(B) An off-street parking facility may be shared between two or more uses, provided that use of such facility by each user does not occur at the same time. No shared use of parking spaces shall be permitted unless:
(1) 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.
(2) The users of the shared parking facility shall record an agreement to share parking facilities, subject to approval by the Village Attorney. A copy of the recorded agreement shall be given to the village.
(3) The location and design requirements of this subchapter are met.
(4) Any subsequent change in ownership or use shall require proof that the minimum parking requirements, per this subchapter, have been met for each use. The owner of an existing building or use shall have 180 days within which to accommodate all required off-street parking or to apply for a variation. If the owner is unable to accommodate the parking or fails to apply for a variation, then the occupancy permit shall be revoked with respect to the use for which the separate parking was required. The occupancy permit shall be reinstated when all applicable provisions of this subchapter are complied with. As an alternative to a variation, a new shared parking agreement may be arranged in accordance with this subchapter.

§ 153.210 LAND BANKED FUTURE PARKING.
Land banking allows for designating a portion of land on a site that would be required for parking to be held and preserved as open space, rather than constructed as parking. The Planning and Zoning Commission may permit land banking of up to 25% of the required parking spaces through the site plan review 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 site plan review process, the Planning and Zoning Commission may require additional landscaping of the land banked area.
(D) The land banked area cannot be used for any other use and must be part of the same zoning lot and all under the same ownership.
(E) As part of the site plan review 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.

§ 153.211 LOCATION OF 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-family, two-family and townhouse dwellings, parking shall be permitted in private driveways, but no such parking may encroach onto the public right-of-way. However, such driveway parking shall not be considered as satisfying the off-street parking requirements for such single-family, two-family and townhouse dwellings.
(3) Tandem parking is permitted for townhouse or multi-family dwellings but both spaces must be allotted to the same dwelling unit and located on the same lot as the dwelling.
(B) Non-residential uses.

§ 153.216 REQUIRED OFF-STREET PARKING SPACES.
(A) The minimum number of off-street parking spaces to be provided for the designated uses shall be as follows in Table 13-1: Off-Street Parking Requirements. Table 13-1 lists parking requirements for the generic uses listed within the districts. In some cases, uses which are considered part of a generic use category are listed with specified parking requirements. These specific uses are listed only for the purposes of this subchapter and do not indicate whether such uses are permitted or special uses within any district. Certain general uses listed within the districts do not have parking requirements. These types of uses are not listed within Table 13-1.
(B) Parking requirement exemptions in the C-1 District.
(1) The first 2,000 square feet in gross floor area for commercial uses in the C-1 District are exempt from the parking requirements of Table 13-1. Those commercial uses 2,000 square feet or less in gross floor area located within a shopping center configuration (i.e., a “strip mall”) shall not be eligible for this exemption and must provide the required parking.
(2) In the C-1 District, on-right-of-way parking spaces that are located along the front or side property line may be counted toward required off-street parking spaces. New on-right-of-way parking spaces may be created to count toward required off-street parking but must be located along the side or front property line, and must be accessible 24 hours a day. At least 50% of the width of an on-right-of-way space must be located along the property line of the property under consideration in order to count toward off-street parking requirements. (See Figure 13-6: On-Right-of-Way Parking and Figure 13-7: On-Right-of-Way Parking Consideration Standard.) These spaces are not reserved for the establishments that utilize this exemption.
