Zoning questions related to parking generally revolve around two points: how many parking spaces are needed and what design standards are there for the lot. Those questions are addressed in this Section for buildings and uses of land that are new or expanding.

5-1-A. How Many? How many parking spaces are required is a good first question to ask, but not always a straightforward one. The Schedule of Required Parking, a table in Section 5-13, tell how much parking is need for various uses of a property. Yet in some instances, parking spaces can be shared, located off site, or not built right away. Also, parking needs to be considered for visitors in multiple-family residential buildings, and in some cases, parking is required for bicycles. The sections with answers to these questions can be found in the table of contents.

5-1-B. What are Design Standards for Parking Lots? The design of parking lots is important, especially large ones, as they can have a significant effect on the appearance of a property and the area in which they are located. Just as important, parking lots must be safe of those driving into, out of and within them; safety of pedestrians also is essential. Most of the design standards listed in this Section are for commercial and industrial parking lots, but rules for driveway and garage locations for single family homes also are provided - again, focusing on safety and community aesthetics.

5-2-A. The purpose of this Section is to alleviate or prevent traffic congestion on public streets, provide safe and logical vehicular access and parking to and within developments, and to promote the safety and welfare of the public by establishing minimum requirements for off-street parking and loading of motor vehicles.

5-2-B. Applicability:

1. The provisions for off street parking and loading specified in this Section shall apply to all zoning districts.

2. The provisions for off street parking and loading specified in this Section shall apply to all buildings and structures constructed and all uses of land established after the effective date of this Chapter.

3. For all buildings and structures existing prior to the effective date of this Chapter, the following shall apply:

a. Where a building permit has been issued prior to the effective date of this Chapter, and provided that construction is begun within six months of such effective date and is diligently prosecuted to completion, parking and loading facilities shall be required per the requirements in place at the time of permit issuance.

b. Parking for an existing use of property shall not be reduced below the requirements of this Section, or if already less than said requirements, shall not be reduced further.

c. Expansion or Change of Use:

i. For nonresidential uses of a property in the B-3 Town Center District, when a use of the property is replaced with another use having a higher parking requirement (per Section 5-13: Schedule of Required Parking), no additional parking shall be required.

ii. Where the total square footage of a structure is increased by more than twenty (20) percent, all requirements of this Section shall apply.

iii. Requirements for new parking also may be met through alternative measures in Section 5-6: Shared Parking and Section 5-8: Land Banking.

d. Nonconforming Parking Conditions:

i. When a property is legally non-conforming as to parking and/or loading and the use of the building is changed, parking and loading standards shall be provided as required in this Section.

ii. Where a use is served by legal nonconforming parking or loading, and the total square footage of the structure is increased by twenty (20) percent or less, the parking standards of this Section shall be applicable to the increased square footage, and the parking standards applicable at the time the legal nonconforming parking status occurred shall be applicable to the remainder of the structure.

e. Damage or Destruction.

i. When a property is legally non-conforming as to parking or loading and the use or the improvement is damaged and repaired or replaced with a use or improvement with the same parking requirement (per Section 5-13), the minimum parking standards applicable at the time the use became legally non-conforming may continue.

ii. In the case of a conforming or legally nonconforming building being damaged or destroyed by fire, collapse, explosion or other cause and reconstructed, reestablished or repaired:

1. The number of off-street parking spaces and loading berths in place at the time of such damage or destruction shall be restored and continued.

2. Should such damage or destruction exceed fifty percent (50%) of the value of the building or use, sufficient off-street parking and loading facilities shall be provided as required by this Section as if the facility were newly built, with the exception of properties located in the B-3 Zoning District.

All parking areas shall meet the following general standards:

5-3-A. Access. All parking facilities shall be designed so as to provided safe and efficient means of vehicular and pedestrian access that will least interfere with on-site and off-site traffic movements.

5-3-D. Control of off-site parking facilities.

The owner may convert the land-banked area to parking prior to Village notification, subject to all required permits.

5-9-A. ADA Compliance. All Off-Street Parking Facilities must comply with the State of Illinois Accessibility Code and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) concerning the number and design of accessible vehicle parking spaces required in parking lots and structures.

Parking spaces for persons with disabilities shall be provided in all off-street parking facilities where parking is provided for employees, visitors or both, with the exception of single family detached and townhomes uses. The number of accessible parking spaces shall be included in the total number of required parking spaces and shall be in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Illinois Accessibility Code, as amended from time to time, and all additional governing codes and applicable laws.

4. Computation. When determining the number of off-street parking spaces required by this Section results in a requirement of a fractional space, any fraction of one-half (½) or less may be disregarded while a fraction in excess of one-half (½) shall be counted as one parking space.
