A.
Restrictions on off-street parking facility location and use. In
connection with any building or structure which is to be erected or
substantially altered and which requires off-street parking spaces,
such off-street parking space shall be provided in accordance with
the following restrictions:
(1)
Location. Parking spaces required for single or two-family dwelling
units shall be located on the same lot as the dwelling served. Parking
spaces required for all other uses which are established after the
effective date of this chapter shall be located on the same lot as
the use served. Uses other than single- or two-family dwellings which
are in existence on the effective date of this chapter and which are
subsequently altered or enlarged and new uses in the incorporated
area of Williamsville may be served in accordance with requirements
of this chapter, by off-street parking facilities located on land
other than the lot on which the building or use served is located,
provided such facilities are located within 300 feet walking distance
from the main entrance to the use served.
(2)
Use. Except as may otherwise be provided for parking trucks or in
connection with special uses, off-street parking facilities, required
as accessory to uses listed herein, shall be solely for the parking
of passenger automobiles of patrons, clients, occupants or employees.
B.
Restrictions on off-street loading facility location and use. In
connection with any building or structure which is to be erected or
substantially altered and which requires the receipt or distribution
of materials or merchandise by trucks or other similar motor vehicles,
off-street loading spaces shall be provided with not less than the
minimum requirements specified herein.
(1)
Location. All required off-street loading spaces shall be located
on the same lot as the use to be served, and no portion of the vehicles
shall project into a street, alley or other public right-of-way. In
industrial districts, no off-street loading space for vehicles of
more than two-ton capacity shall be located less than 50 feet from
any residential district, nor shall it be located in a required front
yard or side yard. No entrance or point of access to permitted or
required off-street loading space shall be located within 50 feet
of the nearest point of intersection of any two streets.
(2)
Use. Except as may otherwise be provided for parking trucks or in
connection with special uses, off-street loading facilities, required
as accessory to uses listed herein, shall be solely for the receipt
or distribution by private, public or commercial motor trucks of materials
or merchandise.
In connection with any building or structure which is to be
erected or substantially altered and which requires off-street parking
and loading spaces, such off-street parking and loading spaces shall
be provided in accordance with the additional regulations hereinafter
specified:
A.
Additional off-street parking regulations.
(1)
Size. A required off-street parking space shall be at least nine
feet in width and at least 20 feet in length, exclusive of access
drives, aisles, ramps, columns and office or work area. Such space
shall have a vertical clearance of at least seven feet.
(2)
Access. Each required off-street parking space shall open directly
upon an aisle or a driveway of such width and design as is determined
satisfactory by the Village Engineer to provide safe and efficient
means of vehicular access to such parking space. All off-street parking
facilities shall be provided with appropriate means of vehicular access
to a street, alley or driveway in a manner which will least interfere
with traffic movements. Said means of access shall be reviewed by
the Village Engineer. A parking area containing four or more off-street
parking spaces shall have vehicular access to it over a street, alley
or driveway containing all-weather, hard-surfaced pavement. The location
and route of access to such a parking area shall be identified. No
driveway access to public property shall have a width exceeding 35
feet, exclusive of curbs.
(3)
Repair and service. No motor vehicle repair work of any kind shall
be permitted in an off-street parking area. No gasoline or motor oil
shall be sold in conjunction with any accessory parking facilities
unless such facilities are located within a completely enclosed building,
in which case gasoline and motor oil may be sold to the users of such
facilities within such building, provided that no advertising sign
is visible from outside the building and provided further that all
gasoline pumps shall be effectively screened from view from the street.
(4)
Computation. When determination of the number of off-street parking
spaces required by this chapter results in a requirement of a fractional
space, any fraction of 1/2 or less may be disregarded, while a fraction
in excess of 1/2 shall be counted as one off-street parking space.
(5)
In yards. Off-street parking spaces may be located in yards, except
in required front yards and side yards adjoining a street.
(6)
Collective provisions for nonresidential uses. Off-street parking
facilities for separate uses may be provided collectively if the total
number of spaces so provided is not less than the sum of the separate
requirements of each such use and, if all regulations governing the
location of accessory parking spaces in relation to the use served
are observed. However, no off-street parking space, or portion thereof,
shall serve as the required space for more than one use unless otherwise
authorized in accordance with this chapter.[1]
(7)
Design and maintenance.
(a)
Surfacing. Except for single-family dwellings, all open off-street
parking areas shall be improved with a compacted aggregate base not
less than six inches thick, with a three-inch asphalt concrete surface
or a comparable hard-surfaced, all weather material.
(c)
Screening and landscaping. All open off-street parking areas
containing more than four parking spaces shall be effectively screened
on each side and adjoining or fronting on any residential or institutional
property by a wall or fence not less than five feet high or more than
seven feet high, or a densely-planted compact hedge not less than
five feet in height, and shall have wheel stops of masonry, steel
or heavy timber placed not nearer than five feet from the street line
in districts where a front yard is not required or from side lot lines.[3]
(d)
Lighting, Illumination of an off-street parking area shall be
arranged so as not to reflect rays of light into adjacent residential
districts and streets. All lighting in parking lots shall be extinguished
not later than 9:30 p.m. or 30 minutes after the close of business
of the principal use being served, whichever is later.
B.
Additional off-street loading regulations.
(1)
Size. A required off-street loading space shall be at least 10 feet
in width and at least 50 feet in length, exclusive of aisle and maneuvering
space, and shall have vertical clearance of at least 17 feet.
(2)
Access. Each required off-street loading space shall be designed
with means of motor vehicular access to a street or alley in a manner
which will least interfere with traffic movements.
(3)
Repair and service. Neither storage of any kind nor repair work or
service of any kind on motor vehicles shall be permitted within any
required loading space.
(4)
Design and maintenance.
(a)
Surfacing. All open off-street loading spaces shall be improved
with a compacted aggregate base not less than eight inches thick,
with not less than three inches of asphalt concrete surfacing or a
comparable all weather, dustless material.
(b)
Allocated spaces. Space allocated to any off-street loading
space shall not, while so allocated, be used to satisfy the space
requirements for any off-street parking facilities or portions thereof.
A.
A plan for required off-street parking and loading facilities. For
the purpose of converting parking and loading areas into required
off-street parking and loading spaces, plans must be submitted to
and approved by the Williamsville Planning Commission to indicate
how the required off-street parking and loading spaces shall be arranged
in the area and to indicate sufficient space for parking maneuvers,
as well as adequate access to the area.
B.
Continuing character of obligation. The schedule of requirements
for off-street parking spaces and off-street loading spaces applicable
to newly erected or substantially altered structures shall be a continuing
obligation of the owners of the real estate on which any such structure
is located so long as the structure is in existence and its use requiring
vehicle parking or vehicle loading facilities continues. It shall
be unlawful for an owner of any building affected by this chapter
to discontinue or change or dispense with, or to cause the discontinuance
or change of the required vehicle parking or loading space apart from
the sale, transfer or discontinuance of such structure, without establishing
alternative vehicle parking or loading space which meets the requirements
of, and is in compliance with, this chapter or for any person, partnership,
firm or corporation to use such building without obtaining the use
of sufficient land for vehicular parking or loading spaces to meet
the requirements of this chapter.
C.
Changes in requirements. The number of off-street parking or loading
spaces required upon the erection or substantial alteration of a building
shall not be reduced, except upon written approval of the Village
Board after proof that, by reason of diminution in floor area, seating,
number of employees, or change in other factors controlling the requirements
for off-street parking or loading spaces, the proposed reduction is
consistent with the provisions of this article. Whenever, after the
date of this chapter, an increase in floor area, seating, number of
employees or other factors of change in the use of a building or structure
creates a need for an increase of more than 25% of the number of off-street
parking or loading space as determined by the requirements of this
article, more off-street parking or loading facilities shall be provided
within a reasonable time.
