[Amended 11-14-2018 by Ord. No. O-2018-12]
Parking areas shall be set back from lot lines in compliance
with the following:
A. Parking areas may be located in any yard space within the General
Business District (B-2), Intensive Business District (B-3) and Industrial
Districts (LI and HI), and in any yard space but the front yard in
the other districts; however, no parking space or area including driveway
shall be permitted within five feet of a property line in a side or
rear yard and 10 feet of a street right-of-way.
Calculating the number of spaces required shall be in accordance
with the following:
A. Gross floor area. The term "gross floor area" (GFA) for the purpose
of calculating the number of off-street parking spaces required includes
the sum of the gross horizontal area of a floor or several floors
of a building or structure measured from the exterior face of exterior
walls or the centerline of a wall separating two buildings or structures,
not including uninhabitable attics or basements, underground parking,
uncovered steps or decks, and exterior balconies.
B. In churches and other places of public assembly in which patrons
or spectators occupy benches, pews, or other similar seating facilities,
each 24 inches of such seating shall be counted as one seat for the
purpose of this subdivision.
C. In cases where parking requirements are based on "capacity" of persons,
capacity shall be based on the maximum number of persons that may
occupy a place, as determined by the building code. Maximum capacity
shall be posted within the establishment. Both indoor and outdoor
seating are included in maximum capacity.
D. When calculating the number of off-street parking spaces results
in a fraction, each fraction of 1/2 or more shall require another
space.
E. Except in shopping centers or where joint parking requirements have
been approved, if a structure or site contains two or more uses, each
use shall be calculated separately in determining the total off-street
parking spaces required.
F. In cases where future potential uses of a building may generate additional
parking demand, the Village may require a proof of parking plan for
the site showing how the anticipated parking demand will be met. The
Village may permit the additional land area that would be required
for anticipated parking to be placed in reserve as landscaped open
space until needed.
