The off-street parking and loading regulations of this Section 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.

The provisions of this Section 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 Section. If the number of such existing spaces is already less than the requirements of this Section, it shall not be further reduced.

(2)

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

(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 Section.

(c)

Change in Land Use. When the existing use of a building, structure or parcel of 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 building, structure or parcel of 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 building, structure or parcel of land is decreased, the number of parking and loading spaces may be reduced so long as the parking requirements of this Section are met for the entire building, structure or parcel of land as modified.

(e)

Provision of Additional Spaces. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prevent the voluntary establishment of off-street parking or loading facilities, provided that all regulations governing the location, design and control of such facilities shall be in accordance with this Section.

(f)

Limitations on Use. No motor vehicle repair or cleaning of any kind shall be permitted in any parking space, parking lot or loading berth. No gasoline, motor oil or any other accessory or similar product shall be sold or dispensed in such areas.

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 (1) 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 building or structure served. In computing the number of off-street parking or loading spaces required by this Section, 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 (½) may be disregarded, and a fraction of one-half (½) or more shall be counted as one (1) parking or loading space.

(c)

In places of assembly in which patrons or spectators occupy benches, pews or similar seating facilities, each eighteen (18) inches of such seating facility shall be counted as one (1) 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).

(a)

Site plan review required. Site plan review, in accordance with Section 4.5 (Site Plan Review), is required prior to any construction, alteration or addition of any parking facility providing ten (10) or more parking spaces, and for any loading facility. For purposes of this section, 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 Section shall be completed prior to the issuance of the occupancy permit for the use they serve. If weather conditions do not permit such completion, the Zoning Administrator may issue a temporary occupancy certificate.

(a)

Off-street parking spaces for individual uses may be provided collectively if the total number of spaces provided is equal to or greater than the sum of the spaces required for each individual use. No parking space, or portion of a space, shall serve as the required space for more than one similar use, but can be shared among two or more individual uses under the following shared parking arrangements described in Paragraph B below.

(b)

The use of a particular parking facility shall not occur by each use at the same time. The use with the highest demand must provide all required spaces. No shared use of parking spaces shall be permitted unless:

(1)

The users of the shared parking facility shall sign an agreement, approved by the City Attorney, expressing the intent to share parking facilities. This agreement shall be filed with the City and recorded with the Cook County Recorder of Deeds.

(2)

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.

(3)

The location and design requirements of this Section are met.

(4)

Any subsequent change in ownership or use shall require proof that the minimum parking requirements, per this Section, have been met for each use. The owner of a building or use shall have one-hundred eighty (180) days within which to accommodate all required off-street parking or to apply for a variance. If the owner is unable to accommodate the parking or fails to apply for a variance, then the occupancy certificate shall be revoked with respect to the building or use for which the separate parking was required. The occupancy certificate shall be reinstated when all applicable provisions of this Section are complied with. As an alternative to a variance, a new shared parking agreement may be arranged in accordance with this Section.

(Ord. No. 2008-65, 9-2-2008)

The Planning and Zoning Commission may permit land banking of up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the required parking spaces through the site plan review process.

(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.

(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- and two-family 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- and two-family dwellings as set forth in this Section, except for existing structures within the R-3 District where parking shall be permitted in private driveways and may count toward the required number of off-street parking spaces, but no such parking may encroach onto the public right-of-way.

(3)

No less than fifty percent (50%) of all required parking in a residential district shall be provided in a completely enclosed building. However, parking located beneath a structure that is no less than four (4) feet below grade, as defined by this Ordinance, may be unenclosed, but must be screened from the public right-of-way by landscaping.

(4)

Tandem parking is permitted for townhouse or multi-family dwellings, or for above ground floor dwellings in the B-4 District, but both spaces must be allotted to the same dwelling unit and located on the same lot as the dwelling.

(b)

Non-residential uses.

(1)

All required off-street parking areas for non-residential uses shall be located on the same lot as, or within three-hundred (300) feet of, the building or use served. However, off-street parking accessory to a non-residential use shall not be located in any R-1, R-2, R-3 or R-4 District.

(2)

When required off-street parking spaces are provided at an off-site parking area, such off-site parking areas shall be, and remain in, the same possession and ownership as the zoning lot occupied by said building or use. No such off-site parking areas shall be authorized and no occupancy certificate shall be issued, unless the Zoning Administrator has reviewed the plans and has made findings that common ownership or possession does and will continue to exist with respect to the zoning lot and the land containing the off-site parking areas, and that the off-site parking area will be maintained at all times during the life of the proposed use or building. A covenant to this effect shall be recorded with the Cook County Recorder and Registrar of Titles.

(3)

Off-street parking spaces are permitted within any rear or interior side yard. However, where a yard abuts a residential district, no off-street parking spaces shall be permitted within five (5) feet of the lot line abutting the residential district.

(4)

No required off-street parking spaces are permitted within a required front or corner side yard.
