[Amended 4-11-1995 by L.L. No. 1-1995]
The minimum number of accessory off-street parking
spaces shall conform to the requirements of Appendix A, Table of General
Use Requirements, except that:
A. The Planning Board, in conjunction with site development
plan approval, may permit a reduction in the number of developed parking
spaces where adequate accessible reserve areas are available and designated
on the plan as areas for overflow parking.
B. The Planning Board may reduce the required number
of parking spaces upon demonstration by the applicant that the required
number exceeds the actual peak parking hour (annual) and a demonstration
that such reduction would not induce parking on public ways or result
in hazardous conditions for vehicles and pedestrians within or proximate
to the site. This reduction by the Planning Board may not exceed 25%
of the normally required amount.
One house trailer, recreation vehicle or boat
and boat trailer may be parked or stored on any developed residential
lot behind the front yard line. All other parking, storage or use
of such vehicles is prohibited. The use of such a vehicle for dwelling
purposes is prohibited.
Within a central business area, as defined by
the Village Board, any person required to provide off-street parking
for a building or use may request permission from the Village Board
to make a cash payment to a special parking fund in lieu of providing
all or a portion of the required parking spaces, subject to the following:
A. The Village Board may, in its discretion, accept all
or a portion of the offered fee-in-lieu in substitution for all or
a portion of the required parking spaces. Where appropriate, it may
require the submission of studies and plans demonstrating that practical
considerations preclude the provision of such spaces by the applicant.
B. The amount of the fee-in-lieu required in such cases
shall be established on a case by case basis by the Village Board,
based on the projected construction cost for municipal provision of
the required parking spaces, operating costs where the spaces are
not revenue-producing and any loss in taxes resulting from municipal
provision of such spaces. Provision may be made for periodic payment
of an amount to cover operation and maintenance costs.
C. By acceptance of the fee-in-lieu, the Village of Spring
Valley undertakes to provide parking of a type, location and quantity
appropriate for the particular use within a reasonable period of time,
taking into account the existing supply and demand for parking in
the area of said use. The village may charge for the use of such spaces
an amount generally consistent with the charge for other publicly
provided parking in the same area.
D. At least that portion of the fee-in-lieu which is
based on the projected construction cost shall be placed in a Village
of Spring Valley parking fund. The expenditure of revenues from such
parking fund shall be limited exclusively to those actions designed
to increase the quantity and/or the quality of parking spaces available
to serve properties within the central business area, as defined by
the Village Board.
