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 within the fire zone 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 10 feet and a stall length of at least 18
feet. Minimum width of aisles providing access to stalls for one-way
traffic shall be as follows: 11 feet for thirty-degree parking and
20 feet for ninety-degree parking. Minimum width of aisles providing
access to stalls for two-way traffic shall be 24 feet. No parking
area of more than two spaces shall be designed as to require any vehicle
to back into a public street. Any parking area of more than five spaces
shall be sufficiently screened in the form of a solid fence or shrubbery
to protect adjacent residential uses. Large expanses of unchanneled
parking areas shall be avoided by interior landscaping and safety
islands.
C. Location.
(1) Location shall be on the same lot as the principal use or not over
400 feet from the principal use.
(2) Off-street parking is permitted in all yards of all districts except
in the front yards of single-family and two-family residence districts
but shall not be closer than five feet to a side lot line, right-of-way
line or rear lot line.
(3) Off-street parking in the single-family and two-family residence 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 §
620-60.
D. Surfacing. All off-street parking areas, except a single 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. Compacted stone or gravel may be used with
the approval of the Village Board.
E. Landscaping.
(1) Accessory landscape area. All public and private off-street parking
areas which serve five vehicles or more and are created or redesigned
and rebuilt subsequent to the adoption of this chapter shall be provided
with accessory landscape areas totaling not less than 10% of the surfaced
area. The minimum size of each landscape area shall not be less than
100 square feet.
(2) Location. Location of landscape areas, plant materials and protection
afforded the plantings, including curbing and provision for maintenance
by the property owner, shall be subject to approval by the Zoning
Administrator.
(3) Plans. All plans for such proposed parking areas, at the discretion
of the Zoning Administrator, shall include a topographic survey or
grading plan which shows existing and proposed grades and location
of improvements. The preservation of existing trees, shrubs and other
natural vegetation in the parking area may be included in the calculation
of the required minimum landscape area.
(4) Special residential requirements. Those parking areas for five or
more vehicles, if adjoining a residential use, shall be screened from
such use by a solid wall, fence, evergreen planting of equivalent
visual density or other effective means, built and maintained at a
minimum height of five feet. Where a solidly constructed decorative
fence is provided along the interior lot line, the minimum setback
for the parking area shall be five feet from said lot line. Said fence
shall be located a minimum of one foot from said lot line.
(5) Street setback area. No parking shall be permitted between the street
right-of-way line and the building setback line prevailing in the
zone in which the proposed parking area is to be located. The resulting
open area shall be planted in grass or otherwise landscaped to create
a permanent green area.
(6) Repair and service. No motor vehicle repair work or service of any
kind shall be permitted in association with parking facilities provided
in residence districts.
(7) 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.
F. Curbs. Curbs or barriers shall be installed a minimum of four feet
from a property line so as to prevent the parked vehicles from extending
over any lot lines.
