   (B)   Every accessway in any residential or non-urban zoning district, which is more than 100 feet in length or serves a parking lot containing more than eight parking spaces, shall be at least 20 feet wide; provided, however, that, when separate drives, each one way, are designed for ingress and egress, the minimum required width for each drive shall be reduced to ten feet.

   (C)   Every accessway for a parking lot located in any commercial or industrial zoning district, shall be at least 24 feet wide; provided, however, that, when separate drives, each one way, are designed for ingress and egress, the minimum required width for each drive shall be reduced to 12 feet.

   (D)   Every parking lot shall be designed so that ingress to or egress from any parking space is by way of an aisle or driveway and not directly from a street or public right-of-way.

   (E)   (1)   No accessway to any parking lot shall be located within 30 feet of any corner formed by the intersection of the right-of-way of two or more streets.

      (2)   However, when an intersection is regulated by traffic control devices or based upon daily hourly volume, the Village Board shall increase this requirement in order to reduce traffic hazards.

   (F)   Every parking lot ingress and egress shall be aligned so that it forms, as closely as is possible, a right angle with the intersecting street.

   In order to reduce heat and glare and minimize the loss of natural vegetation common to the construction of parking facilities, landscaping shall be provided and maintained in accordance with the following provisions contained within this Code.

   Every off-street parking lot shall be located in conformity with the following requirements:

   (A)   Single-family and two-family dwellings. Parking spaces accessory to any single-family or two-family dwelling shall be located on the same lot as the dwelling, and with the exception of a driveway, shall not be in the front yard.

   (B)   Multiple-family dwellings. Parking spaces accessory to a multiple-family dwelling shall be located on the same lot as the dwelling, or on a commonly-owned lot of the multiple-family buildings, the parking spaces are accessory to, and constructed so that no vehicle shall be required to be moved in order to allow another vehicle to enter or exit the parking area.

      (1)   (a)   Every off-street parking space accessory to any business or industrial use shall be located within 500 feet of the use served; provided, however, that, no portion of any parking lot for a nonresidential use shall extend into any residential or non-urban district except by permission of the Village Board.

         (b)   Whenever a parking lot or a driveway to a parking lot is hereafter established in other than a residence district so as to abut the side or rear line of a lot in a residence district, a solid masonry wall, shrubbery planting or a substantial sightly fence not less than five feet high and not more than eight feet high shall be constructed and maintained along the side or rear lot line up to, but not beyond the setback building line.

      (2)   In any business or industrial district, off-street parking facilities for different buildings or uses may be provided collectively, if the total number of spaces collected together is not less than the sum of the separate requirements for each use, and if all other pertinent regulations are observed.

   Every off-street loading space hereafter established shall be designed in accordance with the following standards.

   Every loading space, designed for one vehicle, shall conform to the requirements below, exclusive of any aisle or maneuvering area that may be required, and shall be designated by markings which clearly delineate each space, and which are laid and restored as often as necessary to maintain the delineation.

 

 

   Every accessway between an off-street loading space and a street or alley, shall be at least 12 feet wide.

   Every off-street loading area shall be graded and improved with a compacted gravel base at least seven inches thick, surfaced with at least four inches of asphalt or similar impermeable, all weather dustless surface.

   No loading space designed for vehicles exceeding a two-ton cargo capacity shall be developed closer than 50 feet from the lot line of any lot located in a residential or non-urban district, unless the loading space is completely enclosed by a wall, a solid fence or closely-planted shrubbery, at least ten feet in height and of sufficient density to block the view from adjoining property.

   Every off-street loading space shall be located on the same parcel of land as the use served and not closer than 50 feet to the intersection of the rights-of-way of two or more streets and not on required front yards.

   In computing the number of parking and loading spaces required by this section, the village staff shall apply the following rules.

   (A)   In computing the parking spaces required for a building or structure containing mixed uses, the village staff shall calculate the required number of parking spaces for each use, and add the sums of those calculations in order to determine the total number of spaces required for the building. For example, a lodge with a dance hall would require parking spaces for each use.

   (B)   If, in computing the number of parking or loading spaces required by this section, the calculation results in the requirement of a fractional space, a fraction of less than one-half may be disregarded, while a fraction of one-half or more shall be counted as one space.

   (C)   If, in computing the number of parking spaces required by this section, the gross floor area for a specific use is less than that identified in the calculation formula, the village staff shall divide the gross floor area by the area indicated in the calculation formula and multiply the result by the required number of spaces. For example, if a fast-food restaurant has a gross floor area of 800 square feet, the village staff shall divide 800 by 1,000 and multiply the resulting .80 by 30, thereby requiring 24 parking spaces for this specific use.

   (D)   If, in reviewing the classifications below, a particular use is not found, the village staff shall classify the use with other similar uses and calculate parking space requirements according to the provisions for that classification.

   (E)   If bus parking is provided for a hotel or motel, it shall count for 15 of the required parking spaces as calculated elsewhere herein.

   This section divides specific uses of property into classification groups. The minimum number of off-street parking spaces required for each use of specific parcel of property shall be determined by identifying the classification group to which each use belongs, the performing the calculation identified for that specific group.
