The off-street parking and loading regulations of this chapter 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. No. 12-09-39, § 2(14.1), 8-24-12)

The provisions of this chapter shall apply as follows:

A.

Applicability. The following off-street parking and loading standards apply to all properties outside of the C-5 District. Properties in the C-5 District are regulated by the standards of Chapter 20.36.

B.

Existing Facilities.

1.

The existing number of off-street parking and loading spaces shall not be reduced below the requirements of this chapter. If the number of such existing spaces is already less than the requirements of this chapter, it shall not be further reduced.

2.

Existing off-street parking and loading areas which do not conform to the requirements of this chapter, but were in conformance with the requirements of this title 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 the ordinance codified in this title, and if construction has begun within one hundred eighty 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 chapter.

C.

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 chapter.

D.

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.

E.

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 chapter are met for the entire structure or land as modified.

F.

Provision of Additional Spaces. Nothing in this chapter 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 chapter.

G.

Provision of Car-Share Facilities. Spaces within parking lots and parking structures may include designated parking spaces for car-share facilities. A car-share facility is a membership-based car-sharing service that provides automobile rental to members, billable by the hour or day. Car-sharing is not considered a motor vehicle rental establishment. Spaces reserved for car-share facilities are in addition to the minimum parking requirements of this title.

(Ord. No. 12-09-39, § 2(14.2), 8-24-12; Ord. No. 19-02-13, § 29, 2-11-19)

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 chapter, 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 space. When determining the number of required off-street loading spaces results in a requirement of a fractional space, any fraction shall be interpreted as one loading space.

C.

In places of assembly in which patrons or spectators occupy benches, pews or similar seating facilities, each twenty-four 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. No. 12-09-39, § 2(14.3), 8-24-12)

Off-street parking and loading facilities required by this chapter shall be completed prior to the issuance of the certificate of occupancy for the use they serve.

(Ord. No. 12-09-39, § 2(14.4), 8-24-12)

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 alternate shared parking arrangement described in subsection B below.

B.

An off-street parking facility may be alternately shared between two or more uses, provided that use of such facility by each user does not occur at the same time. No alternate 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 chapter are met.

4.

Any subsequent change in ownership or use shall require proof that the minimum parking requirements, per this chapter, have been met for each use. The owner of an existing building or use shall have one hundred eighty 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 chapter are complied with. As an alternative to a variation, a new alternate shared parking agreement may be arranged in accordance with this chapter.

(Ord. No. 12-09-39, § 2(14.5), 9-24-12)

The planning and zoning commission may permit land banking of up to twenty-five percent 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 site plan review, additional landscaping of the land-banked area may be required.

D.

The land banking area cannot be used for any other use. The land banked parking area cannot be used to fulfill other landscaping requirements of this title.

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. Nothing shall prevent the applicant from converting the land-banked area to parking prior to village notification.

(Ord. No. 12-09-39, § 2(14.6), 9-24-12; Ord. No. 14-08-43, § 19, 8-25-14)

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. Parking located within a garage or carport shall 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.
