B.
Multiple or mixed uses. Where a building is devoted to more than
one use or for different uses and where the floor area for each use
is below the minimum required for a loading space but the aggregate
floor area of such uses is above such a minimum, then off-street loading
space shall be provided as if the entire building were devoted to
that use in the building for which the most loading spaces are required.
C.

not, while so allocated, be used to satisfy the space requirements

conditions are fulfilled:
(1)
Each zoning lot served shall have direct access to the central loading
area without crossing streets or alleys at grade.
(2)
Total berths provided shall meet the requirements based on the sum
of the several types of uses served. (Areas of types of uses may be
totaled before computing number of loading berths.)
(3)
No zoning lot served shall be more than 300 feet removed from the
central loading area.
(4)
The tunnel or ramp connecting the central loading area with the zoning
lot served shall be not less than seven feet in width and have a clearance
of not less than seven feet.
All new parking lots and all alterations of existing lots shall
be subject to the 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

parking areas shall be avoided by interior landscaping and safety
islands.[1]
C.
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 of
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

visual density or other effective means, built and maintained at a

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.

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.

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.
(7)
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.
