All new parking lots and all alterations of existing lots, except
for permitted uses in the R-1 and R-2 Residential Districts, shall
be subject to a recommendation from the Plan Commission and approval
of the Village Board. Requests for said parking lots shall be accompanied
with 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 proposed
to be erected, enlarged, extended, or increased an off-street parking
plan 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. 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 (angle shall be measured
between center line of parking space and center line of 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 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 shield from view any adjacent residential uses. Large expanses
of unchanneled parking areas shall be avoided by the inclusion of
interior landscaping and safety islands.
C. Location.
(1) Off-street parking shall be located in accordance with Subsection
J of this section.
(2) Off-street parking is permitted in all yards of all districts except
in the front yards of Single-Family (R-1) and Two-Family (R-2) Residential
Districts, but shall not be closer than five feet to a side lot line,
right-of-way line or rear lot line. See §
510-49.
D. Surfacing. All open 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.
E. Landscaping requirements.
(1) Landscaping. 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, protection
afforded the plantings, including curbing and provision for maintenance
by the property owner, shall be subject to recommendation of the Plan
Commission and approval by the Village Board.
(3) Plans. All plans for such proposed parking areas 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 the 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 unenclosed 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.
