[Ord. No. 19-2020, 6-8-2020]
(a)
Purpose.
(1)
The regulations of this division establish off-street motor
vehicle and bicycle parking requirements that attempt to encourage
transit use and nonmotorized modes of transportation, while also helping
meet the typical parking needs of shoppers, employees, visitors and
residents. The regulations are also intended to help avoid the negative
impacts that can result from requiring excessive supplies of off-street
parking (e.g., impervious surfaces, stormwater runoff, heat island
effect, visual environment, parking encroachment into stable neighborhoods).
(2)
The regulations are also intended to help protect the public
health, safety and general welfare by:
a.
Promoting economically viable and beneficial use of land; and
b.
Providing flexible methods of responding to the transportation
and access demands of various land uses in different areas of the
Village.
(b)
Applicability.
(1)
General. Off-street parking must be provided and maintained
in accordance with the provisions of this division. Unless otherwise
expressly stated, the regulations apply to all zoning districts and
uses.
(2)
New uses and development. The parking regulations of this division
apply to all new buildings constructed and all new uses established
in all zoning districts.
(3)
Change of use. If a new use of a building requires more off-street
parking than the use that most recently occupied the building, additional
off-street parking is required in an amount equal to the difference
between the parking required for the new use and the parking that
would have been required for the previous use if the parking requirements
of this division had been applicable.
(4)
Enlargements and expansions.
a.
The parking regulations of this division apply whenever an existing
building or use is enlarged or expanded to include additional dwelling
units, floor area, seating capacity or other units of measurement
used in establishing off-street parking requirements.
b.
In the case of enlargements or expansions that trigger requirements
for additional parking, additional spaces are required only to serve
the enlarged or expanded area, not the entire building or use. There
is no requirement to address parking deficits associated with existing,
lawfully established buildings or uses.
[Ord. No. 19-2020, 6-8-2020]
Off-street motor vehicle and bicycle parking spaces must be
provided in accordance with the ratios established in Table 90-420-1.
For uses requiring conditional use approval, the Plan Commission is
authorized to recommend and the Village Board is authorized to approve
different minimum and maximum requirements than stated in Table 90-420-1.
No use is required to provide more than 30 short-term or 30 long-term
bicycle parking spaces,

[Ord. No. 19-2020, 6-8-2020]
(a)
Floor area. Parking requirements based on floor area must be
calculated on the basis of gross floor area, minus parking and loading
areas and areas of a building occupied exclusively by mechanical equipment,
utilities, or service areas that are not intended for human occupancy.
(b)
Multiple uses. Lots containing more than one use or tenant must provide parking in an amount equal to the total aggregate number of spaces required for each use or tenant on the lot except when a shared parking arrangement is approved in accordance with the shared parking provisions of §
90-420.40.
(c)
Fractions and rounding. See the fraction and rounding rules of §
90-610.20.
(d)
Capacity and occupancy-based standards. For the purpose of computing
parking requirements based on seating or occupants, calculations must
be based on the building-code-rated capacity.
(e)
Unlisted uses. Upon receiving a development or permit application
for a use not specifically listed, the Community Development Director
is authorized to apply the off-street parking ratio specified for
the listed use that the Director deems most similar to the proposed
use.
[Ord. No. 19-2020, 6-8-2020]
(a)
On-street parking. Where on-street motor vehicle parking is
allowed, nonresidential uses may count on-street parking spaces on
public street rights-of-way abutting the subject property towards
satisfying off-street motor vehicle parking requirements. One off-street
parking space credit may be taken for each striped parking space on
the abutting right-of-way. When on-street parking spaces are not striped
(e.g., parallel parking), one off-street parking space credit may
be taken for each 20 linear feet of abutting street right-of-way.
Only space on the same side of the street as the subject use may be
counted.
(b)
Long-term bicycle parking. Each six long-term bicycle parking spaces provided in accordance with §
90-420.60 is credited as one motor vehicle space.
(c)
Public parking. Nonresidential uses are credited for motor vehicle
parking spaces within a nearby public parking lot or public parking
garage, as follows:
(1)
Minimum motor vehicle parking requirements for the subject use
are reduced by one parking space for every four motor vehicle parking
spaces within the public parking lot or garage, not to exceed a total
reduction of more than 25 spaces;
(2)
The nearest pedestrian entrance to the public parking lot or
garage must be located within 1,000 feet of the lot on which the subject
use is located; and
(3)
The parking facility must be open to the general public from
at least 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
(d)
Motorcycle and scooter parking. In parking lots containing more
than eight motor vehicle parking spaces, the provision of motorcycle
or scooter parking spaces may be credited toward satisfying the minimum
off-street parking ratios of Table 90-420-1 at the rate of one motor
vehicle parking space for each two motorcycle or scooter parking spaces.
The maximum credit allowed under this provision is two spaces or 10%
of the total minimum motor vehicle parking requirement for the subject
property, whichever is greater. To receive credit, each motorcycle
and scooter space must have a concrete surface and minimum dimensions
of four feet by eight feet. Areas restricted to motorcycle and scooter
parking must be identified by signs. Motorcycle and scooter parking
spaces are not counted against maximum allowed parking ratios.
(e)
Off-site parking. Off-site motor vehicle parking spaces owned
or rented by the property owner or business owner of the subject use
may be counted towards satisfying off-street motor vehicle parking
requirements. Such off-site spaces must:
(1)
Be located within 1,000 feet of the use, as measured along the
shortest pedestrian route from the corner of the nearest parking space
to the main public entrance of the use served;
(2)
Be located in zoning districts that permit nonaccessory parking
or that permit the principal use to be served by the off-site parking
spaces; and
(3)
Be under the same ownership as the lot containing the use to
be served by the parking or be the subject of a legal instrument authorizing
use of the off-site parking spaces.
(f)
Shared parking.
(1)
General. Shared parking refers to the practice of two or more
users who need parking at different times making use of the same motor
vehicle parking spaces. Shared parking is encouraged as a means of
conserving land resources, reducing stormwater runoff, reducing the
heat island effect caused by large paved areas and improving community
appearance.
(2)
Eligibility. Shared parking facilities are allowed for mixed-use
projects and for uses with different times of peak parking demand,
subject to approval by the Community Development Director.
(3)
Submittal requirements and methodology.
a.
Applicants proposing to use shared parking as a means of reducing
overall motor vehicle parking requirements must submit:
1.
The names and addresses of the uses and of the owners or tenants
that are sharing the parking.
2.
The location and number of parking spaces that are being shared.
3.
A shared parking analysis.
4.
A legal instrument authorizing use of the shared parking spaces.
b.
The required shared parking analysis must be based on the latest
edition of the Urban Land Institute (ULI) shared parking model or
by surveys or other studies prepared by individuals with expertise
in parking and transportation.
c.
The shared parking analysis must demonstrate that the peak parking
demands of the subject uses occur at different times and that the
parking area will be large enough for the anticipated demands of all
users.
(4)
Location. Shared parking may be located on-site or off-site. Off-site parking is subject to the regulations of Subsection (e) of this section (§
90-420.40).
(g)
Other alternatives. The minimum motor vehicle and bicycle parking
ratios of Table 90-420-1 are not intended to be a barrier to development
or redevelopment or to make development and redevelopment economically
impractical or negatively impact the viability of businesses. In order
to allow for flexibility in addressing the actual expected parking
demand of specific uses, the Community Development Director or Plan
Commission, as applicable, is authorized to approve alternatives to
minimum parking requirements through the site plan review process
if:
(1)
The applicant submits a parking study demonstrating that the
minimum off-street parking ratios of Table 90-420-1 do not accurately
reflect the actual day-to-day parking demand that can reasonably be
anticipated for the proposed use based on field surveys of observed
parking demand for similar use within the Village or on external data
from credible research organizations, such as the Urban Land Institute
(ULI) or the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE);
(2)
The Community Development Director or Plan Commission, as applicable,
determines that the other allowed parking reduction and credit provisions
of this section are infeasible or do not apply; and
(3)
The Community Development Director or Plan Commission, as applicable,
determines that the reduced parking ratios proposed are not likely
to cause material adverse impacts on traffic circulation and safety
or on the general welfare of property owners and residents in the
surrounding area.
[Ord. No. 19-2020, 6-8-2020]
The maximum motor vehicle parking ratios of Table 90-420-1 are
not intended to negatively impact the viability of businesses. In
order to allow for flexibility in addressing the actual expected parking
demand of specific uses, the Community Development Director or Plan
Commission, as applicable, is authorized to approve alternatives to
maximum parking regulations through the site plan review process if
the Community Development Director or Plan Commission, as applicable,
determines that at least one of the following criteria is met:
(a)
The additional spaces will be located in a parking garage;
(b)
A parking demand study indicates that provision of more than
the maximum number of spaces is warranted by anticipated parking demand;
or
(c)
The site on which the parking lot is located will contain additional
facilities for the handling or treatment of stormwater runoff and
the adverse environmental effects of allowing additional parking spaces
will be offset by implementation of stormwater best management practices.
[Ord. No. 19-2020, 6-8-2020]
(a)
Purposes.
(1)
Short-term bicycle parking. Short-term bicycle parking is generally
intended to serve the needs of cyclists who park their bicycles for
short time periods, including customers, clients, students and other
short-term visitors.
(2)
Long-term bicycle parking. Long-term bicycle parking is generally
intended to serve the needs of cyclists who park their bicycles for
long time periods, primarily employees and residents.
(b)
Floor area used for bicycle parking. Areas within a building
that are used to provide bicycle parking that complies with the bicycle
parking design and location requirements of this section are not counted
as floor area for the purpose of calculating motor vehicle parking
requirements.
(c)
Design and location.
(1)
General. All short-term and long-term bicycle parking spaces
are subject to the following general design and location requirements.
a.
Bicycle parking spaces must be illuminated if accessible to
users after dark.
b.
Bicycle parking spaces must be located to be readily visible
by the public or by building users, except in the case of long-term
parking spaces located in secure areas accessible only to employees,
staff or residents.
c.
Bicycle parking spaces must be accessible without climbing stairs,
going up or down a slope of more than 12%, and via a route on the
property that is designed to minimize conflicts with motor vehicles
and pedestrians.
d.
All bike racks must be located at least two feet in all directions
from any obstruction, including other bike racks, walls, doors, posts,
or columns.
e.
Nonresidential uses may use up to one required automobile parking
space as space for providing bicycle parking.
f.
All required bicycle parking spaces must have minimum dimensions
of two feet in width by six feet in length, with a minimum overhead
vertical clearance of seven feet.
(2)
Short-term bicycle parking. In addition to the general bicycle
parking design and location requirements of this section, all required
short-term bicycle parking must meet the following requirements:
a.
Short-term bicycle parking must be visible from the main public
building entrance and as conveniently located as the nearest nondisabled
motor vehicle parking space serving the use. If no vehicle parking
is provided, short-term bicycle parking spaces must be located within
75 feet of a building entrance.
b.
Short-term bicycle parking spaces must be located on private
property unless the Community Development Director approves a location
within the public right-of-way.
(3)
Long-term bicycle parking. In addition to the general bicycle
parking design and location requirements of this section, all required
long-term bicycle parking must meet the following requirements:
a.
Long-term bicycle parking spaces may not be inside of dwelling
units or on dwelling unit balconies.
b.
Unless clearly visible from the main building entrance, a sign
indicating the location of all long-term bicycle parking spaces must
be prominently displayed near the main entrance to the building or
facility, and additional signs must be provided as necessary to ensure
easy way-finding.
c.
Long-term bicycle parking spaces must protect the entire bicycle,
its components and accessories against theft and inclement weather,
including wind-driven rain and snow. Acceptable forms of protection
include
1.
Individual bicycle lockers;
3.
Video-monitored parking areas;
4.
Restricted-access parking areas; or
5.
Other comparable arrangements approved by the Community Development
Director.
d.
Except in the case of bicycle lockers with a separate access
door for each bike or attended facilities, all long-term bicycle parking
spaces must be designed to allow bicycles to be securely locked to
a bicycle rack.
[Ord. No. 19-2020, 6-8-2020]
(a)
Sidewalks. Sidewalks or multi-use pathways must be provided
along all sides of every lot that abuts a public street. Racine County
and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation hold final authority
to require sidewalks in their rights-of-way.
[Amended 3-22-2021 by Ord. No. 05-2021; 7-25-2022 by Ord. No. 22-2022]
(1) If the Community Development Director, Public Works Director, and
the applicant for a proposed development agree to the following conditions,
the Village may accept a payment in lieu of sidewalk or multi-use
path. The Village shall set the payment amount using the Village's
five-year average of sidewalk construction costs per square foot.
The Village shall place the payment in a fund exclusively used for
new or upgraded pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure.
a. The construction of a sidewalk or multi-use pathway is impractical
or infeasible; and
b. The lot does not currently lie adjacent to any existing sidewalk
or multi-use pathway; and
c. The Village does not plan to construct adjacent sidewalks or multi-use
pathways in the Village's five-year capital improvement plan; and
d. The adjacent roadway uses a rural cross section.
(b)
Internal pedestrian circulation. An internal circulation system
for pedestrian and nonmotorized travel must be provided on all lots
except those occupied solely by residential buildings containing fewer
than four dwelling units.
(c)
Connection to public sidewalks. The internal pedestrian circulation
system must connect the main building entrance to all sidewalks located
along street frontages abutting the site. Required connections must
follow a direct route and not involve significant out-of-direction
travel for system users.
(d)
Internal connections. The internal pedestrian circulation system
must connect all buildings on the site and provide connections to
other areas of the site likely to be used by pedestrians and nonmotorized
travel, such as parking areas, bicycle parking, usable open spaces,
recreation areas, and similar amenity features.
(e)
Design. Required internal pedestrian circulation facilities
must be designed and constructed in accordance with the regulations
of this subsection.
(1)
The internal pedestrian circulation system must be ADA-compliant.
(2)
When the internal pedestrian circulation system crosses drive
aisles, it must be clearly differentiated through the use of elevation
changes, different paving material or other equally effective methods
of safely accommodating nonmotorized travel, as approved by the Community
Development Director. Striping alone does not meet this requirement.
(3)
When the internal pedestrian circulation system is parallel
and adjacent to a motor vehicle travel lane, it must be a raised path
at least eight inches above the vehicle travel lane surface or be
separated from the vehicle travel lane by a raised curb, bollards,
landscaping, or another physical barrier. If a raised path is used,
the ends of the raised portions must be equipped with accessible curb
ramps.
[Ord. No. 19-2020, 6-8-2020]
Accessible parking facilities (for persons with disabilities)
must be provided in accordance with all applicable state and federal
regulations.
[Ord. No. 19-2020, 6-8-2020]
(a)
Required off-street parking spaces are intended to serve residents,
tenants, patrons, employees, or guests of the principal use. Required
off-street parking areas may be used solely for the temporary parking
of licensed motor vehicles in operating condition.
(b)
Required off-street parking spaces may not be used for the storage,
display or sale of goods equipment or materials. No motor vehicle
repair work of any kind is permitted in a required parking space.
(c)
The Community Development Director is authorized to issue a
permit for temporary seasonal use of off-street parking areas for
display and sales of holiday and seasonal items (e.g., spring gardening
supplies and Christmas trees).
(d)
Required spaces may be used for electric vehicle charging.
[Ord. No. 19-2020, 6-8-2020]
(a)
Applicability. The parking layout and design regulations of
this section apply to all off-street parking lots for motor vehicles,
whether containing required or nonrequired parking spaces.
(b)
Ingress and egress. All parking areas must be designed to allow
vehicles to enter and exit a street and cross public sidewalks in
a forward motion, except that this requirement does not apply when
motor vehicle access is to a local street.
(c)
Parking stall size.
(1)
Standard spaces. Except as expressly allowed for compact spaces
or universal spaces in the following Subsection (c)(2) and (3) or
as expressly required for accessible parking spaces, or as outlined
in Subsection (l), parking spaces must be designed as standard size
spaces, in accordance with Table 90-420-2. Up to two feet of the front
of a standard parking space, as measured from a line parallel to the
direction of the bumper of a vehicle using the space, may be landscaped
area instead of paved. Such areas count toward interior parking lot
landscaping requirements.
[Amended 2-28-2022 by Ord. No. 10-2022]
(2)
Compact spaces. Up to 20% of the parking spaces in parking lots
containing more than 10 parking spaces may be designated and designed
as compact parking spaces. Compact parking spaces must be designed
in accordance with Table 90-420-2. When compact parking spaces are
used, at least 80% of the total number of parking spaces provided
must be standard-size parking spaces.
(3)
Universal spaces. Universal-size parking spaces may be used
only in parking lots containing more than 10 parking spaces. When
universal size parking spaces are used, no compact spaces are allowed.
All universal parking spaces must designed in accordance with Table
90-420-2.
(d)
Parking dimensions.
(1)
Parking areas must be designed in accordance with Table 90-420-2,
which shows minimum dimensions for various parking layouts (angles).
Requirements for layouts or angles not shown in Table 90-420-2 may
be interpolated from the layouts shown, as approved by the Community
Development Director.

|
|
(e)
Vertical clearance. All required parking spaces must have overhead
vertical clearance of at least seven feet.
(f)
Marking. In all parking lots containing more than four parking
spaces, the location of each parking space must be identified by surface
markings at least four inches in width and be maintained so that they
are visible at all times.
(g)
Surfacing. All off-street parking areas and access drives must
be surfaced and maintained with an asphaltic or Portland concrete
pavement or other hard, dust-free surface approved by the Village
Engineer.
(h)
Landscape and screening. Off-street parking areas must be landscaped
and screened in accordance with the applicable provisions of Division
90-430.
(i)
Tandem and stacked parking.
(1)
Tandem parking spaces may be used to satisfy parking requirements
for household living uses when the tandem parking spaces are assigned
to the same dwelling unit.
(2)
Tandem and stacked parking spaces may be used to satisfy off-street
parking requirements for other use types when an attendant is on duty
during all hours of operation.
(j)
Curbs and barriers. Curbs or similar barriers approved by the
Community Development Director must be provided to prevent motor vehicles
from encroaching into required setbacks and landscape areas, as follows:
(1)
All open off-street parking areas must provide a six-inch curb
or approved wheel barrier when abutting required setbacks, landscape
areas and adjoining property lines.
(2)
Wheel barriers must be located at least two feet from the edge
of pavement or the area to be protected from encroachment.
(k)
Plans. All applications for a building permit must be accompanied
by a fully dimensioned and scaled plan showing parking, driveway and
loading facilities provided to comply with this zoning chapter. If
no building permit is required, such plans must be submitted with
