The off-street parking and off-street loading provisions of
this Zoning Ordinance shall apply as follows:
(1)
Off-street parking and off-street loading facilities shall be provided as required by the regulations of this Article VII for all buildings and structures erected and all uses of land established in each district after the effective date of this Zoning Ordinance. However, where a building permit has been issued prior to the effective date of this Zoning Ordinance, and provided that construction is begun within six months of such effective date and diligently prosecuted to completion, parking and loading facilities in the amounts required for the issuance of said building permit may be provided in lieu of any different amounts required by this ordinance.
(2)
When the intensity of use of any building, structure or premises
shall be increased through the addition of dwelling units, gross floor
area, seating capacity, or other units of measurement in the amount
specified herein requiring parking or loading facilities, such additional
parking and loading facilities as herein required shall be provided.
(3)
Whenever the existing use of a building or structure shall hereafter
be changed to a new use, parking or loading facilities shall be provided
as required for such new use. However, if the said building or structure
was erected prior to the effective date of this Zoning Ordinance,
additional parking or loading facilities are mandatory only in the
amount by which the requirements for the new use would exceed those
for the existing use, if the latter were subject to the parking and
loading provisions of this ordinance.
Off-street parking facilities in existence on the effective
date of this Zoning Ordinance and located on the same lot as the building
or use served shall not hereafter be reduced below the requirements
for a similar new building or use under the provisions of this ordinance.
[Amended 12-3-2009 by Ord. No. 2009-2867A]
Nothing in this Zoning Ordinance shall be deemed to prevent the voluntary establishment of off-street parking and loading facilities on any lot as an accessory use, in excess of the parking and loading facilities required pursuant to this Article VII, to serve any existing use of land or buildings on the same lot, provided that the facilities comply with all regulations set forth in this Article VII governing the location, design and operation of such facilities.
For any conforming or nonconforming building or use which is
in existence on the effective date of this Zoning Ordinance, which
subsequently thereto is damaged or destroyed by fire, collapse, explosion
or other cause, and which is reconstructed, reestablished or repaired,
off-street parking and loading facilities shall be provided. However,
in no case shall it be necessary to restore or maintain parking or
loading facilities in excess of those required by this ordinance for
equivalent new uses or construction.
[Amended 12-3-2009 by Ord. No. 2009-2867A]
(1)
Except as provided in Section 7.05(2) of this article, all off-street parking spaces required pursuant to this Article VII to serve buildings or uses erected or established, after the effective date of this Zoning Ordinance, shall be located on the same lot as the building or use served.
(2)
Off-street parking spaces required pursuant to this Article VII to serve buildings or uses other than single-family dwellings existing on the effective date of this Zoning Ordinance which are subsequently altered or enlarged so as to require more parking spaces or new uses and not located in single-family residence districts may, upon the approval of the Zoning Officer, be located on land other than the lot on which the building or use served is located, upon compliance with each of the following conditions:
a.
The parking spaces shall be located within 300 feet walking distance
of the buildings or uses for which they are required;
b.
The parking spaces shall be designed and constructed in compliance
with all other standards of this article.
c.
The parking spaces must be located on a lot owned or leased by the
owner or lessee of the lot for which the parking spaces are required.
d.
The owner of the lot upon which
the off-site, off-street parking spaces are located shall file a covenant
against that lot in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds of Cook County,
Illinois, which covenant shall run with the land and shall prohibit
the removal of the off-street parking spaces until either of the following
conditions occur:
Off-street parking facilities shall be provided in accordance
with regulations hereinafter set forth.
(1)
Use. Off-street parking facilities required herein listed shall be
solely for the parking of automobiles of patrons, occupants, or employees.
When bus transportation is provided for patrons, occupants or employees
of a specific establishment, additional open or enclosed off-street
parking spaces for each bus to be parked on the premises shall be
provided in accordance with subsection 7.06(4) through (7) of this
article.
(2)
Computation. When determination of the number of off-street parking
spaces required by this Zoning Ordinance 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 parking
space.
(3)
Access. Each required off-street parking space shall open directly
upon an aisle or driveway of such width and design as to provide safe
and efficient means of vehicular access to such parking space. All
off-street parking facilities shall be designed with appropriate means
of vehicular access to a street or alley in a manner which will least
interfere with traffic movement. All residential garages shall provide
a finished opening with a minimum width of 7.5 feet when the garage
door is in its open position.
[Amended 9-17-2024 by Ord. No. 2024-3794]
(4)
Handicapped accessible spaces. The minimum number and dimension of
parking spaces set aside as handicapped spaces shall be provided in
accordance with the standards of the of the Illinois Capitol Development
Board, as set forth in Illinois Accessibility Code, dated April 24,
1997, as may be amended from time to time.
(5)
In yards. Subject to the provisions set forth in this Section 7.06, open-air, off-street parking spaces may be located in: (a) any rear yard, in any zoning district; and (b) in a front yard or a side yard abutting a street, but only within the B-1, B-2, B-3, O-1, M-B, and P Districts, and only upon the issuance of a special use permit therefor pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 5.17 of this Zoning Ordinance.
[Amended 2-2-2016 by Ord.
No. 2016-3189]

Surfacing:
i.
In residential and business zones all open off-street parking
areas (including a driveway used as a parking area) shall be improved
with a durable pavement consisting of an all-weather asphalt, concrete
pavement surface, pavers, or the equivalent in accordance with Village
requirements, unless otherwise approved by the Administrative Officer.
Alternative pavers, such as pervious concrete or natural stone, that
reduce the overall surface coverage and lessen stormwater runoff are
encouraged and may be approved by the Zoning Officer and Village Engineer
in off-street parking areas, crosswalks, parking stalls, or in drive
aisles.
[Amended 3-2-2013 by Ord. No. 2013-3044]
ii.
In the MB Zone all open off-street parking areas (including
a driveway used as a parking area) shall be improved with a durable
pavement consisting of an all-weather asphalt, concrete pavement surface,
pavers, or the equivalent. This subsection shall not apply where an
open off-street parking area (including a driveway used as a parking
area) is not improved with the required durable pavement surface in
conformance with Village requirements at the time of the adoption
of this amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. In such cases, the gravel
or other nonconforming surface of an open off-street parking area
must be maintained in a first class condition. The failure to maintain
any such gravel or other nonconforming surface in a first class condition,
or reconfiguring or enlarging such nonconforming parking area (or
driveway used as a parking area) will require that such parking area
or driveway conform to all the regulations in this section requiring
a durable pavement surface.
c.
Screening and landscaping. All open parking areas containing four or more parking spaces, located less than 40 feet from the nearest property line of a lot in a residential district shall be effectively screened on each side adjoining or fronting on such property line by a wall, fence or densely planted compact hedge, consistent with Article VI, Site Development Standards.
d.
Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate off-street parking areas shall be directed away from residential properties in such a way as not to create a nuisance. Lighting in a parking area containing four or more parking spaces shall be extinguished not more than 1/2 hour after the close of business except as may otherwise be permitted or required by the Zoning Board of Appeals for maintaining illumination with less candle-power after the time specified above. Lighting shall be consistent with site development standards (Article VI, Section 6.07 of this Zoning Ordinance).
e.
Repair and service. No motor vehicle repair work or service of any
kind shall be permitted in conjunction with any parking facilities.
(7)
Employee parking. Parking spaces required on an employee basis shall
be based on the maximum number of employees on duty or residing, or
both, on the premises at any one time.
(8)
Required spaces. The minimum number of off-street parking spaces
shall be provided in the Schedule of Off-Street Parking Requirements
(Table 7.10.01):
(9)
Permanent location prohibited. No vehicle shall have its wheels removed
or be set on or affixed to the ground so as to prevent its ready removal.
(10)
Parking and storage of inoperable vehicles. No vehicle, other
than a vehicle awaiting timely (no longer than 14 days) repair at
an automotive repair shop, gasoline station or new or used car dealer,
incapable of being driven or used for the purpose or use for which
it was designed, shall be stored in a fully enclosed building or fully
enclosed structure and shall not be stored in any open or unenclosed
parking lot or open or unenclosed parking area in the Village.
(11)
Residential use prohibited. No vehicle shall be used for living,
sleeping or housekeeping purposes while parked or stored in the Village.
(12)
Utility hookups. No vehicle shall be connected to any public
utility except for required servicing.
(13)
Unsafe conditions. No vehicle shall be parked or stored so as
to create a dangerous or unsafe condition. The ground under or surrounding
the location wherein a vehicle is stored shall be free of debris and
combustible material.
(14)
Prohibition of open storage of certain materials. The following
items shall not be stored in any unenclosed area of any Vehicle which
is parked or stored in an unenclosed parking space from the hours
of 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.: including, flammable liquids, explosive
substances; salvage items; Ladders; contracting materials or equipment
which protrude above the sidewalls of the truck bed; landscaping debris
or materials; and any other items which constitute a nuisance or which
are noxious or dangerous to persons or property.
(15)
No new open-air, off-street parking spaces may be constructed after March 15, 2016, within a required front, rear, or side yard setback located within the S Schools District, except pursuant to a special use permit approved by the Board of Trustees in accordance with Section 5.17 of this Zoning Ordinance. Any open-air, off-street parking spaces constructed on or before March 15, 2016, may be located within a required front, rear, or side yard setback within the S Schools District without a special use permit.
[Added 4-19-2016 by Ord.
No. 2016-3202]
(16)
Reverse-slope garages, as defined in Section 12-4-1(B) of the Village Code, may not be constructed except in accordance with Section 12-4-11(H) of the Village Code.
[Added 6-15-2021 by Ord. No. 2021-3535]
(1)
Collective parking provision. Off-street parking facilities for separate uses may be provided collectively if the total number of spaces provided is not less than the sum of the separate requirements for each such use and provided that all regulations governing location, in relation to the use served, are adhered to. Further, no parking spaces or portion thereof shall serve as a required space for more than one use unless otherwise authorized by the Zoning Board of Appeals in accordance with procedures set forth herein in Article V.
(2)
Shared parking facilities; reduction in parking requirements. Cumulative
parking requirements for mixed-use occupancies may be reduced where
it can be determined that the peak requirement of the several occupancies
occurs at different times during the day. The Shared Parking Report
2nd Edition, published by the Urban Land Institute may be used as
a guideline in the estimation of parking demand. For a shared parking
arrangement, the Zoning Officer may make an administrative adjustment
that reduces the off-street parking requirements for each participating
commercial property by a maximum of 15%. To approve such an administrative
adjustment, the Zoning Officer shall find:
a.
The collective parking facility is located within 300 feet walking
distance of each of the uses, as measured from the entrance of each
use to the nearest parking space in the collective parking facility.
b.
Convenient, safe, accessible and visible pedestrian connections are
located between the facilities and all of the shared properties.
c.
The commercial properties do not have the same hours of operation,
i.e., there is some substantial difference in business hours; an example
follows:
(3)
Parking
for delivery-oriented businesses. The Zoning Officer may make an administrative
adjustment that reduces the off-street parking requirements for a
delivery-oriented business by a maximum of 20%, or by allowing spaces
that would be otherwise required for patron parking to be utilized
by vehicles providing delivery of goods to patrons.
[Added 4-24-2023 by Ord. No. 2023-3686]
Off-street loading spaces shall be provided as follows:
(1)
Location. All required loading spaces shall be located on the same
lot as the principal use served. Unenclosed off-street loading facilities
shall not be located in any front yard or corner side yard.
(2)
Area. An off-street loading space shall not be less than 10 feet
in width and 55 feet in length, exclusive of aisle and maneuvering
space; except, when a loading space having a length greater than 55
feet, exclusive of aisle and maneuvering space is required herein,
it shall be not less than 12 feet in width. Enclosed off-street loading
spaces shall have a vertical clearance of at least 14 feet.
(3)
Access. Each required off-street loading berth shall be designed
with appropriate means of vehicular access to a street or alley in
a manner which will least interfere with traffic movement.
(4)
Surfacing. All open off-street loading spaces shall be improved with
pavement in accordance with such standards set forth herein for off-street
parking spaces and stormwater drainage facilities.
(5)
Utilization. Space allocated to any required off-street loading space
shall not, while so allocated, be used to satisfy the requirements
for any off-street parking spaces.
(6)
Minimum facilities. Uses for which off-street loading facilities
are herein required but which are located in buildings of less floor
area than the minimum prescribed for such required facilities, shall
be provided with adequate receiving facilities, accessible by motor
vehicle, off any adjacent alley, service drive, or open space on the
same lot.
(7)
Off-street loading space requirements. Off-street loading spaces
are contained in Table 7.01.02, Off-Street Loading Requirements.
(8)
Uses not listed. The Zoning Officer shall make an administrative
decision for parking requirements of uses not specifically listed.
Such a decision shall be based on the requirements for similar uses
found either inside or outside the corporate limits of the Village.
[Amended 3-2-2013 by Ord. No. 2013-3044]
(1)
Variations from the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Zoning Board of Appeals may grant parking variations in the specific instances set forth in Article V of this Zoning Ordinance.
(2)
Payment in lieu of providing parking spaces. A reduction in the required number of off-street parking and loading facilities in any zoning district may be granted by the Board of Trustees, after a hearing by the Zoning Board of Appeals in accordance with Article V.
a.
Such reduction may be granted, provided that the owner of the property
shows that there are practical difficulties or particular hardships
preventing the implementation of the strict regulations of this article
and that the granting of relief will not be detrimental to the public
welfare.
b.
The Village Board may authorize the requested parking variation conditioned
upon payment by the owner, in lieu of providing the number of parking
spaces normally required. The payment of a fee in lieu of providing
parking spaces shall be established from time to time by the Village
Board and placed into a Village fund to be used by the Village of
Lincolnwood for the acquisition and maintenance of public off-street
parking and loading facilities to serve the zoning district wherein
the property is located. Upon payment of the established fee by the
owner, the property granted the variation shall be credited permanently
by ordinance with the number of spaces for which payment has been
received.
c.
Establishment of parking facility funds. At any time the Village
may establish an off-street public parking plan for any zoning district.
To implement and finance the creation of off-street parking, the Village
Board may establish a special parking facility fund for each such
plan. Whenever an owner is granted relief from the Village's parking
requirements, pursuant to the provisions in this article, the applicable
fees shall be paid into the Village's special parking facility fund.
If the Village constructs a public off-street parking facility before
such monies are available, the special parking facility fund shall
reimburse the Village's expenditures when and as fees are paid into
such special facility parking find. Monies placed in any such fund
may be used by the Village at any time to offset the costs of implementing
such a plan.
