(2)
Signage and striping shall be in accordance with this Code.
(i)
Curbing and walks.
(1)
All surface parking lots shall have continuous curbing located a minimum of 6 feet from, and parallel to, any property line which is adjacent to a street frontage, except as noted in this subsection.
(2)
The required continuous curbing may be located closer than 6 feet to the property line when the area between the curbing and the property line does not equal more than 10 percent of the total area of the off-street parking lot.
(3)
Any parking area serving either detached or 2-unit multifamily residences shall be exempt from the curbing requirement of this section.
(4)
For unimproved existing lots and deficient existing lots which are to be improved, where the continuous curbing is not used as wheel stops, such curbing may be closer than 6 feet to the property line when it would result in a reduction in the number of standard off-street parking spaces or if it would reduce the width of an access aisle or driveway below the minimum requirements.
(5)
For unimproved existing lots and deficient existing lots which are to be improved, where the continuous curbing is used as wheel stops, such curbing may be located up to a minimum of 3 feet from the property line if the placement of the curbing at a distance of greater than 3 feet would result in a reduction in the number of standard off-street parking spaces which were previously provided or if it would reduce the width of an access aisle or driveway below the minimum requirements.
(6)
When the continuous curbing would fall within a utility easement, the requirement must be reviewed by the Director of Engineering. The Director of Engineering shall determine, after a review of written statements from the public utility companies, whether each utility company is now using the easement or plans to do so in the future, and the characteristics of such use, the type of utility line, its horizontal and vertical placement, its relationship to other utilities, and the access needed for installation and maintenance. When the utility easement is or will be in use, the Director of Engineering shall determine whether the continuous curbing on the easement will interfere with the utility companies' use of the easement and shall then determine a suitable location for the continuous curbing.
(7)
If the continuous curbing cannot be so placed as to avoid interference with the utilities, then alternate curbing and/or location shall be determined by the Director of Engineering. When none of the foregoing are possible, a variance to waive this requirement may be sought from the Zoning Board of Appeals, or, if the subject site is under consideration for a special use permit, then the waiver of this requirement may be sought from the Plan Commission as part of the special use.
(8)
Perimeter curbing shall meet the curve of the street curb. Where this continuous street-to-parking-area curbing meets a pedestrian sidewalk, there shall be no on grade separation.
(9)
Continuous curbing shall be required within the interior of an off-street area, to ensure the public safety and protect landscaping, or as required by the Director of Engineering. Adequate methods of containing vehicular parking shall be provided, subject to the approval of the Director of Engineering, if continuous curbing cannot be provided. Such methods shall include but not be limited to wheel stops and approved roping devices.
(10)
For all new parking lots with aisles, a minimum 5-foot sidewalk shall be provided alongside a building abutting an off-street parking area to provide access to the building from the parking area. If the building depth (or width) is less than the depth (or width) of the property, the sidewalk shall extend beyond the building and run the length (or depth) of the parking area. In addition, the minimum 5-foot sidewalk shall be provided at the rear of a building or structure behind which aisle parking is provided.
(11)
The required sidewalk may be reduced in width to 3 feet under the following circumstances:
a.
Where any parking area has direct access to the parking stalls from an alley and is also located directly to the rear of the building; and
b.
Where the sidewalk abutting the parking area or which provides access to the building from the parking area is not in conflict with vehicular traffic maneuvers, including backup maneuvers.
(j)
Screening and landscaping.
(1)
For all new and existing lot improvements, adequate visual screening shall be erected along any lot line of a nonresidential property which abuts residentially zoned property and is not separated by an alley from such property. If an intervening alley separates residentially zoned property from nonresidentially used property, then the visual screening shall be erected 1 foot within the side or rear lot line of the nonresidentially used property to screen the off-street parking and/or loading areas.
a.
Only the following types of visual screening shall be permitted for the purpose of this article:
1.
Face brick wall.
2.
Reinforced concrete wall with decorative finish.
3.
Solid board-on-board wooden fence.
4.
Dense evergreen living shrubs.
5.
A combination of the types of screening listed in this subsection.
b.
The height of the required screening shall be 5 feet, except in residentially zoned districts it shall be 4 feet. Screening shall not be required in the R1 and R2 residential districts, except by special use permit.
c.
Where access to an intervening alley is provided from an off-street parking and/or loading area, the height of the required screening on either side of the access area shall be 30 inches for a minimum of 10 feet.
d.
All required screening other than permitted screening types shall be subject to the approval of the Appearance Commission.
e.
All required screening shall be adequately protected from vehicular maneuvers. Protection may include wheel stops, curbing, guardrails and/or earth berming. Where required screening other than landscaping is provided at an alley, the 1-foot area between the property line and the required screening shall be covered with a hard surface, subject to the approval of the Director of Engineering.
f.
When the required screening would fall in a utility easement or an alley boundary which is used by 1 or more of the utility companies for its service, the requirement must be reviewed by the Director of Engineering. The Director of Engineering shall determine, after a review of written statements from the public utility companies, whether each utility company is now using the easement or plans to in the future and the characteristics of such use, the type of utility line, its horizontal and vertical placement, its relationship to other utilities and the access needed for installation and maintenance. When the utility easement is or will be in use, the Director of Engineering shall determine when the required screening on a lot would interfere with the utility companies' use of the easement and shall then determine a suitable location for such screening. If required screening cannot be so placed to avoid interference with the utilities, alternate screening and location shall be determined by the Director of Engineering and the Director of Community Development.
(k)
Lighting.
(1)
Lighting shall be required for all new commercial and industrial off-street parking areas. Lighting shall also be required for all residential parking areas with more than 20 spaces. Residential developments consisting of only detached residences shall be exempt.
(2)
Any lighting shall be directed away from abutting or adjacent properties, streets, or public rights-of-way.
(3)
The illumination level for all off-street parking areas shall be as follows, unless otherwise approved as part of Site Plan approval:
a.
The illumination level for an off-street parking area shall be an average maintained horizontal footcandle ratio of 1.0 to 3.0 footcandles or per IES required standards for other application purposes.
b.
Uniform illumination is desirable, and the lowest footcandle value at any point on the pavement should not be less than ¼ the designed average maintained horizontal footcandles.
c.
The type of luminaries, shielding, pole height and the lighting design, uniformity ratio and the entire lighting scheme shall be subject to the approval of the Village Traffic Engineer. All lighting units shall be of the full cutoff type.

(i)
Curbing and walks.
(1)
All surface parking lots shall have continuous curbing located a minimum of 6 feet from, and parallel to, any property line which is adjacent to a street frontage, except as noted in this subsection.
(2)
The required continuous curbing may be located closer than 6 feet to the property line when the area between the curbing and the property line does not equal more than 10 percent of the total area of the off-street parking lot.
(3)
Any parking area serving either detached or 2-unit multifamily residences shall be exempt from the curbing requirement of this section.
(4)
For unimproved existing lots and deficient existing lots which are to be improved, where the continuous curbing is not used as wheel stops, such curbing may be closer than 6 feet to the property line when it would result in a reduction in the number of standard off-street parking spaces or if it would reduce the width of an access aisle or driveway below the minimum requirements.
(5)
For unimproved existing lots and deficient existing lots which are to be improved, where the continuous curbing is used as wheel stops, such curbing may be located up to a minimum of 3 feet from the property line if the placement of the curbing at a distance of greater than 3 feet would result in a reduction in the number of standard off-street parking spaces which were previously provided or if it would reduce the width of an access aisle or driveway below the minimum requirements.
(6)
When the continuous curbing would fall within a utility easement, the requirement must be reviewed by the Director of Engineering. The Director of Engineering shall determine, after a review of written statements from the public utility companies, whether each utility company is now using the easement or plans to do so in the future, and the characteristics of such use, the type of utility line, its horizontal and vertical placement, its relationship to other utilities, and the access needed for installation and maintenance. When the utility easement is or will be in use, the Director of Engineering shall determine whether the continuous curbing on the easement will interfere with the utility companies' use of the easement and shall then determine a suitable location for the continuous curbing.
(7)
If the continuous curbing cannot be so placed as to avoid interference with the utilities, then alternate curbing and/or location shall be determined by the Director of Engineering. When none of the foregoing are possible, a variance to waive this requirement may be sought from the Zoning Board of Appeals, or, if the subject site is under consideration for a special use permit, then the waiver of this requirement may be sought from the Plan Commission as part of the special use.
(8)
Perimeter curbing shall meet the curve of the street curb. Where this continuous street-to-parking-area curbing meets a pedestrian sidewalk, there shall be no on grade separation.
(9)
Continuous curbing shall be required within the interior of an off-street area, to ensure the public safety and protect landscaping, or as required by the Director of Engineering. Adequate methods of containing vehicular parking shall be provided, subject to the approval of the Director of Engineering, if continuous curbing cannot be provided. Such methods shall include but not be limited to wheel stops and approved roping devices.
(10)
For all new parking lots with aisles, a minimum 5-foot sidewalk shall be provided alongside a building abutting an off-street parking area to provide access to the building from the parking area. If the building depth (or width) is less than the depth (or width) of the property, the sidewalk shall extend beyond the building and run the length (or depth) of the parking area. In addition, the minimum 5-foot sidewalk shall be provided at the rear of a building or structure behind which aisle parking is provided.
(11)
The required sidewalk may be reduced in width to 3 feet under the following circumstances:
a.
Where any parking area has direct access to the parking stalls from an alley and is also located directly to the rear of the building; and
b.
Where the sidewalk abutting the parking area or which provides access to the building from the parking area is not in conflict with vehicular traffic maneuvers, including backup maneuvers.
(j)
Screening and landscaping.
(1)
For all new and existing lot improvements, adequate visual screening shall be erected along any lot line of a nonresidential property which abuts residentially zoned property and is not separated by an alley from such property. If an intervening alley separates residentially zoned property from nonresidentially used property, then the visual screening shall be erected 1 foot within the side or rear lot line of the nonresidentially used property to screen the off-street parking and/or loading areas.
a.
Only the following types of visual screening shall be permitted for the purpose of this article:
1.
Face brick wall.
2.
Reinforced concrete wall with decorative finish.
3.
Solid board-on-board wooden fence.
4.
Dense evergreen living shrubs.
5.
A combination of the types of screening listed in this subsection.
b.
The height of the required screening shall be 5 feet, except in residentially zoned districts it shall be 4 feet. Screening shall not be required in the R1 and R2 residential districts, except by special use permit.
c.
Where access to an intervening alley is provided from an off-street parking and/or loading area, the height of the required screening on either side of the access area shall be 30 inches for a minimum of 10 feet.
d.
All required screening other than permitted screening types shall be subject to the approval of the Appearance Commission.
e.
All required screening shall be adequately protected from vehicular maneuvers. Protection may include wheel stops, curbing, guardrails and/or earth berming. Where required screening other than landscaping is provided at an alley, the 1-foot area between the property line and the required screening shall be covered with a hard surface, subject to the approval of the Director of Engineering.
f.
When the required screening would fall in a utility easement or an alley boundary which is used by 1 or more of the utility companies for its service, the requirement must be reviewed by the Director of Engineering. The Director of Engineering shall determine, after a review of written statements from the public utility companies, whether each utility company is now using the easement or plans to in the future and the characteristics of such use, the type of utility line, its horizontal and vertical placement, its relationship to other utilities and the access needed for installation and maintenance. When the utility easement is or will be in use, the Director of Engineering shall determine when the required screening on a lot would interfere with the utility companies' use of the easement and shall then determine a suitable location for such screening. If required screening cannot be so placed to avoid interference with the utilities, alternate screening and location shall be determined by the Director of Engineering and the Director of Community Development.
(k)
Lighting.
(1)
Lighting shall be required for all new commercial and industrial off-street parking areas. Lighting shall also be required for all residential parking areas with more than 20 spaces. Residential developments consisting of only detached residences shall be exempt.
(2)
Any lighting shall be directed away from abutting or adjacent properties, streets, or public rights-of-way.
(3)
The illumination level for all off-street parking areas shall be as follows, unless otherwise approved as part of Site Plan approval:
a.
The illumination level for an off-street parking area shall be an average maintained horizontal footcandle ratio of 1.0 to 3.0 footcandles or per IES required standards for other application purposes.
b.
Uniform illumination is desirable, and the lowest footcandle value at any point on the pavement should not be less than ¼ the designed average maintained horizontal footcandles.
c.
The type of luminaries, shielding, pole height and the lighting design, uniformity ratio and the entire lighting scheme shall be subject to the approval of the Village Traffic Engineer. All lighting units shall be of the full cutoff type.
