§ 298-43 Off-street parking restrictions in residential areas.
A.
Where permitted. Unless the district regulations provide otherwise, off-street vehicle parking is permitted in the following yards of property in a residentially zoned district:
B.
Regardless of the provisions of Subsection A above, the Village Board may permit off-street vehicle parking in any yard of a residential development where the overall housing plan and design for such development, in the judgment of the Village Board, is substantially improved thereby, as compared to where off-street parking is limited by Subsection A above, and where sole access from such development is to local and collector streets.

Such permission shall be granted only after a conditional use proceeding under Article IV of this chapter.
