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

(1)

Accessory off-street parking and off-street loading facilities shall be provided as required by the regulations of this article, for all buildings and structures erected and all uses of land established in each district after the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived. However, where a building permit has been issued prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived, and provided that construction is begun within six months of the effective date and diligently prosecuted to completion, parking and loading facilities in the amounts required for the issuance of the building permit may be provided in lieu of any different amounts required by this article.

(2)

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 specified herein for required parking or loading facilities, parking and loading facilities as required in this article shall be provided for such an increase in intensity of use. However, no building or structure lawfully erected or use lawfully established prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived shall be required to provide additional parking or loading facilities unless and until the aggregate increase in units of measurement shall equal not less than 15 percent of the units of measurement existing upon the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived, in which even parking or loading facilities as required herein shall be provided for the total increase. In the case of the expansion or alteration of residential buildings, required parking or loading facilities shall be provided on the basis of the total required units of measurement for the entire capacity of the buildings.

(3)

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 of the new use. However, if the building or structure was erected prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived, additional parking or loading facilities are mandatory only in the amount by which the requirements for the new use would exceed those of the existing use, if the latter were subject to the parking and loading provisions of this article.

(Code 2007, § 150.180; Ord. No. 1972-73-8, 11-6-1972; Ord. No. 1979-80-19, 2-4-1980)

Accessory off-street parking facilities in existence on the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived and located 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 article.

(Code 2007, § 150.181; Ord. No. 1972-73-8, 11-6-1972; Ord. No. 1979-80-19, 2-4-1980)

Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to prevent the voluntary establishment of off-street parking or loading facilities on the same lot as the establishment it serves to serve any existing use of land or buildings, provided that all regulations herein governing the location, design, and operation of the facilities are adhered to.

(Code 2007, § 150.182; Ord. No. 1972-73-8, 11-6-1972; Ord. No. 1979-80-19, 2-4-1980)

For any conforming or legally nonconforming building or use which is in existence on the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived, which subsequently 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 need not be provided, except that parking or loading facilities equivalent to any maintained at the time of the 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 article for equivalent new uses or construction.

(Code 2007, § 150.083; Ord. No. 1972-73-8, 11-6-1972; Ord. No. 1979-80-19, 2-4-1980)

In cases where parking facilities are permitted on land other than the zoning lot on which the building or use served is located, such facilities shall be in the same possession as the lot occupied by the building or use to which the parking facilities are accessory. Possession may be either by deed or long-term lease, the term of the lease to be determined by the board. The owner of the land on which the parking facilities are to be located shall be bound by covenants, filed on record in the office of the recorder of deeds and the village clerk, requiring the owner and the owner's heirs and assignees to maintain the required number of parking facilities for the duration of the use served or of the lease, whichever shall terminate sooner.

(3)

Collective provision. Off-street parking facilities for separate uses may be provided collectively if the total number of spaces so provided is not less than the sum of the separate requirements for each use and provided that all regulations governing the location of accessory parking spaces, in relation to the use served, are adhered to.

(c)

Screening and landscaping. All open parking areas, containing more than four parking spaces and located less than 40 feet from a property line shall be effectively screened on each side adjoining or fronting on any property situated in a residential district or any institutional premises by a wall, fence, or densely planted compact hedge, not less than four feet nor more than six feet in height.

(e)

Repair and service. No non-emergency motor vehicle repair work or service of any kind shall be permitted in conjunction with any parking facilities.

If the lot is to be used by more than one establishment and is not a municipally owned facility, a written document shall be secured to ensure the use of the entire proposed area for vehicular parking for a reasonable period.
