All new parking lots and all alterations of existing lots shall
be subject to the approval of the Village Board, after a recommendation
from the Plan Commission. Requests for said parking lots shall be
accompanied by detailed plans on landscaping, parking layout, drainage
provisions and driveway locations. In all districts, except those
areas which are located in a fire district as designated on the Official
Map, there shall be provided at the time any use or building is erected,
enlarged, extended, or increased off-street parking stalls for all
vehicles in accordance with the following:
A. Access. Adequate access to a public street shall be provided for
each parking space.
B. Design standards. Each required off-street parking space shall have
a stall width of at least nine feet and a stall length of at least
18 feet. Such space shall have a vertical clearance of at least 6 1/2
feet. Minimum width of aisles providing access to stalls for one-way
traffic shall be as follows: aisles shall be not less than 24 feet
wide for ninety-degree parking, 18 feet wide for sixty-degree parking,
15 feet wide for forty-five-degree parking (the angle shall be measured
between the center line of the parking space and the center line of
the aisle), and 12 feet wide for parallel parking. For parallel parking,
the minimum length of the parking space shall be increased to 23 feet.
No parking area of more than two spaces shall be designed so as to
require any vehicle to back into a public street.
C. Location.
(1) Off-street parking is permitted in all yards of all districts except
in the front yards of single-family and two-family residential districts
but shall not be closer than five feet to a side lot line, right-of-way
line or rear lot line.
(2) Off-street parking in the single-family and two-family residential districts is permitted in the front yard in the driveway, even though closer than five feet to a side lot line, provided that the driveway conforms to the requirements in Chapter
455 of this Code. Parking stalls for single- and two-family residences may be placed one behind the other.
D. Surfacing. All open off-street parking areas, except a parking space
accessory to a single-family dwelling, shall be surfaced with a dustless,
all-weather material capable of carrying a wheel load of 4,000 pounds.
(Normally, a two-inch blacktop on a four-inch base or five inches
of portland cement will meet this requirement.) Any parking area for
more than five vehicles shall have the aisles and spaces clearly marked.
E. Repair and service. No motor vehicle repair work or service of any
kind shall be permitted in association with unenclosed parking facilities
provided in residential districts.
F. Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate off-street parking areas
shall be directed away from residential properties and public streets
in such a way as not to create a nuisance. However, in no case shall
such lighting exceed three footcandles measured at the lot line.
