The provisions of this article shall apply as follows:

(1)

Existing facilities.

a.

Existing off-street parking and loading facilities shall not be reduced below the requirements of this article. If such existing facilities are already less than the requirements of this article they shall not be further reduced.

b.

Existing off-street parking and loading facilities which do not conform to the requirements of this article, but were in conformance with the requirements of this chapter at the time they were established, are permitted to continue as legal nonconforming uses.

c.

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 commenced within 180 days of such date and diligently pursued to completion, parking and loading facilities shall be provided in the amounts required for the issuance of the building permit, regardless of the amount required by this section.

(2)

Damage or destruction. When a building is reconstructed or repaired after being damaged or destroyed by over 50 percent, off-street parking and loading facilities shall be restored in conformance with the requirements of this chapter. However, it shall not be necessary to restore or maintain parking and loading facilities in excess of the applicable requirements of this article.

(3)

Change in use. When an 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 such 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.

(4)

Change in intensity of use.

a.

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.

b.

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.

(5)

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.

(6)

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.

(Ord. No. 08-50, § 2(exh. A(13.1)), 8-12-2008)

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 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:

(1)

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.

(2)

A fraction of less than one-half may be disregarded and a fraction of one-half or more shall be counted as one parking or loading space.

(3)

In places of assembly in which patrons or spectators occupy benches, pews or similar seating facilities, each 24 inches of such seating facility shall be counted as one seat for the purpose of determining the requirement for off-street parking facilities.

(4)

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.

(5)

Commercial and industrial uses. For commercial and industrial uses, where there is accessory office space that serves the administrative functions for a commercial or industrial use, this floor area shall be included in the gross floor area calculation for the principal use, rather than be used to calculate the requirement separately for office space. The exception shall be that any floor area devoted to office space that exceeds three percent of the gross floor area shall be required to meet the parking requirement for professional office space.

(Ord. No. 08-50, § 2(exh. A((13.2)), 8-12-2008)

(a)

Site plan review required. Site plan review is required prior to any construction, alteration or addition of any parking facility providing four 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, resealing, restriping, or placement of surface course pavement over previously paved areas. No permit is 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 certificate of occupancy. If weather conditions do not permit completion, a temporary certificate of occupancy may be issued.

(Ord. No. 08-50, § 2(exh. A((13.3)), 8-12-2008)

(a)

Off-street parking spaces for separate uses may be provided collectively if the total 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, may serve as the required space for more than one use with the exception of the following shared parking arrangement described in subsection (b) of this section.

(b)

An off-street parking facility may be shared between two or more uses, provided that use of such facility by each user does not occur at the same time. 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 village attorney, expressing the intent to share parking facilities and shall file this agreement with the village.

(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 180 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 certificate of occupancy shall be revoked with respect to the building or use for which the separate parking was required. The certificate of occupancy shall be reinstated when all applicable provisions of this section are complied with. As an alternative to a variation, a new shared parking agreement may be arranged in accordance with this section.

(Ord. No. 08-50, § 2(exh. A(13.4)), 8-12-2008)

The zoning administrator may permit land banking of up to 25 percent of the required parking spaces as part of the site plan review process.

(1)

Sufficient evidence shall be provided by the applicant that supports the reduced parking needs.

(2)

The area proposed for land banking of parking spaces shall be an area suitable for parking at a future time.

(3)

Landscaping of the land banked area shall be in full compliance of the zoning regulations and at a minimum landscaped with turf.

(4)

The land banking area cannot be used for any other use without amendment of the site plan.

(5)

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."

(6)

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.

(Ord. No. 08-50, § 2(exh. A((13.5)), 8-12-2008)

(a)

All required parking spaces for residential uses shall be located on the same lot as the building or use served. No parking is allowed in any required yard except in driveways. Parking shall be permitted in driveways. No such parking may encroach onto the public right-of-way.

(b)

All required parking for nonresidential uses shall be located on the same lot as, or within 600 feet walking distance of, the building or use served. However, off-street parking accessory to a nonresidential use shall not be located in a residential zoning district.

(c)

In the C-1 district, off-street parking is not permitted at the front of the property (front lot line) or within the front yard.

(Ord. No. 08-50, § 2(exh. A(13.6)), 8-12-2008)

(a)

Where parking facilities are located on a lot separate from the building or use served, the owner of the lot containing the building or use must demonstrate the right to maintain and use such parking by either of the following:

(1)

The lot containing the building or use served and the lot containing the parking shall have the same owner of record.

(2)

The owner of record of the lot containing the building or use served shall have a recorded lease for the lot containing the parking.

(b)

If the owner of a building or use no longer has the right to maintain or use parking facilities on a separate lot (for example, when a lease expires and is not renewed), the owner of a building or use shall have 180 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 certificate of occupancy shall be revoked with respect to the building or use for which the separate parking was required. The certificate of occupancy shall be reinstated when all applicable provisions of this section are complied with.

(Ord. No. 08-50, § 2(exh. A((13.7)), 8-12-2008)
