Sec. 78-661.- Purpose and intent.

The intent of this article is to ensure sufficient land area out of the public right-of-way set aside for the temporary storage or parking of motor vehicles to avoid vehicle congestion and parking on roadways. As such, no parking space required herein shall be located in, or encroach upon, any public right-of-way unless otherwise noted. Additionally, this article is intended to preclude "over-parking" and excessive parking area pavement, which can undermine the small-town character of the village and cause storm-water runoff issues.

(Ord. No. 2124, § 9, 3-22-2022)

Sec. 78-662. - Scope.

In all zoning districts, off-street facilities for the temporary storage or parking of motor vehicles for the use of occupants, employees and patrons of all buildings hereafter erected, altered, or extended after the effective date of this chapter, shall be provided as herein prescribed.

Whenever the use of a building, structure, or lot is changed, parking facilities shall be provided as required by this chapter for all new uses. If the intensity of use of any building, structure, or lot is increased through the addition of dwelling units, increase in floor area, increase in seating capacity, or through other means as applicable, additional off-street parking shall be provided commensurate with such increase in intensity of use.

(Ord. No. 2124, § 9, 3-22-2022)

Sec. 78-663. - Maximum parking spaces required.

In all zoning districts, there shall be provided before any building or structure is occupied or enlarged or increased in capacity, the maximum number of off-street parking spaces for motor vehicles as follows, subject to section 78-664:

Sec. 78-664. - Quantity of parking spaces.

The number of parking spaces required on a site shall be determined based on the requirements above. The requirements above reflect the actual requirement and a maximum. Where the requirements indicate a certain number of spaces "per employee," it shall mean the total number of employees working in the largest shift.

The planning commission or zoning administrator may increase or decrease the requirements of section 78-663 upon request of an applicant, up to 30 percent of the required number of spaces. The applicant shall submit, in writing, justification for the proposed adjustment. Modifications shall not result in inadequate parking area; large, unwarranted amounts of unused parking space; or a reduction in critical open space or natural features. In addition, in approving any request to modify the parking standards, the planning commission or zoning administrator must find that the proposed quantity of parking spaces would preserve the small-town character of the village, be consistent with the purpose and intent of this article, and protect the public health, safety and welfare.

Sec. 78-665. - Joint use of facilities.

Provision of common parking facilities for several uses in the same vicinity is encouraged. Two or more buildings or uses may collectively provide the required off-street parking, in which case the required number of parking spaces may be up to 50 percent less than the requirements for the several individual uses computed separately. The maximum joint requirements will be less than the total cumulative individual requirements if the peak needs for the uses occur at distinctly different times of the day from the peaks of the other uses, as determined by the zoning administrator or planning commission.

Sec. 78-666. - Location of facilities.

Off-street parking facilities shall be located as hereafter specified. When a distance is specified, it shall be the distance measured from the nearest point of the parking facility to the nearest normal entrance to the building or use that such facility serves.

(1)

All off-street parking facilities required by this article shall be of adequate size and design to provide safe ingress and egress to all parking spaces.

(2)

For all residential buildings and for all nonresidential buildings and uses in residential zoning districts, required parking shall be provided on the lot where the building or use is located.

(3)

For commercial and all nonresidential buildings and uses in commercial and industrial zoning districts, required parking shall be provided within 400 feet of the building or use.
