NOTES:

Note 1: For situations of building additions or a new use occupying an existing building, if utilization of building space for production, material storage and warehousing does not necessitate 3 spaces per 1,000 square feet, with justification provided by the building occupant the plan commission may set the minimum parking requirement for production, material storage and warehousing space at 2 spaces per 1,000 square feet, while the minimum parking requirement for other building area remains at 3 spaces per 1,000 square feet.

(b)

Application of parking requirements. The requirements of this article shall apply to all new site development, new or existing parking lots or changes in occupancy or use as provided for in this section.

Similar use interpretation. In the case of uses not specifically enumerated in Subsection 100-402(a), the minimum number of parking spaces specified as the general standard for the use classification or number of spaces specified for similar use shall apply. The Zoning Administrator shall be authorized to make a preliminary determination and has the discretion to refer any such request to the plan commission for determination.

Change in use or occupancy of a building, structure or land.

When the use or occupancy of building, structure or land changes to a new use, another use or a new occupant, additional on-site parking spaces shall be constructed if the new use, another use or new occupant requires a minimum amount of on-site parking spaces pursuant to Subsection 100-402(a) more than already exists on the subject site.

When a building or structure is expanded, additional parking spaces shall be constructed if the expansion requires a minimum amount of on-site parking spaces pursuant to Subsection 100-402(a) more than already exists on the subject site.

When a building or structure was erected prior to the effective date of this article, additional minimum parking spaces or loading facilities are mandatory only in the amount by which the requirements of the new use or occupancy exceed those for the existing or prior use or occupancy.

When site constraints and/or other standards of this chapter do not allow proper space to provide for the minimum amount of required on-site parking spaces for a change in use or occupancy of a building, structure or land as stated above, the plan commission may, at its discretion, grant an exemption to the requirement of constructing additional parking spaces. The applicant requesting a change in use or occupancy shall demonstrate how site constraints and/or other standards of this chapter do not allow construction of additional on-site parking spaces, and shall provide justification that there are sufficient off-site parking spaces available for overflow parking, such as street parking or shared parking on neighboring or nearby properties.

When a new use, another use or a new occupancy in an existing nonresidential multitenant building, structure or unified development, combined with the parking spaces required for other tenants on the subject property, requires additional on-site parking spaces beyond the number of on-site parking spaces already constructed, the plan commission may, at its discretion, grant an exception to the requirement of constructing additional parking spaces. The applicant requesting a change in use or occupancy shall demonstrate that other uses in the multitenant building, structure or unified development have variable parking needs and demands throughout the business day so that timeframe of peak demand for parking of the new use or occupant does not conflict with the timeframe of peak demand for parking of other tenants. The property owner shall provide written confirmation to the plan commission of concurrence with the request. For purposes of this paragraph, a multitenant building, structure or unified development means a property occupied by multiple leaseholders each with its own public entrance from the exterior of the building or structure, or through a shared lobby, atrium, mall or hallway and separated from other tenant spaces by walls or a separate building.

Potential parking reductions.

Reduction in area to be paved at time of parking lot installation or renovation. The plan commission may authorize as much as a 40% reduction in the area to be paved for off-street parking stalls at the request of the applicant. If a reduction is requested, technical documentation shall be furnished by the applicant during the site plan review process to indicate, to the satisfaction of the plan commission, that actual off-street parking demand for that particular use is less than the required amount.

Reserve off-street parking area to be shown on site plan. Sufficient area on the property shall be held in reserve for the potential future development of paved off-street parking to meet the full requirements. This reserve off-street parking area shall be shown and noted on the site plan, maintained as open space, and developed with paved off-street parking spaces when the Village determines that such off-street parking is necessary due to parking demand on the property which exceeds original expectations. The reserve parking area shall not be counted as part of any required greenspace area. The plan commission may require that a letter of credit or other approved financial surety be provided at the time of permit issuance in the amount of 125% of the estimated cost of parking lot completion, to be exercised at Village discretion, should the need for parking lot completion be determined.

Satellite lots exempt. Notwithstanding the above, satellite lots may be allowed to have a reduction in parking area without keeping additional area in reserve, if in the opinion of the plan commission, parking with neighboring uses can be easily shared and provisions are made for safe pedestrian paths between parking areas.

Application to existing lots. Application of all standards within this article to existing parking lots may be subject to adjustments relative to the shape and size of the existing parking lot and other current conditions.

(5)

Garage spaces. Enclosed or partially enclosed parking spaces whether in a detached garage, attached garage or parking structure shall count toward the fulfillment of the minimum amount of required parking spaces if the garage spaces are properly accessible to internal site circulation and external public right-of-way; and if the garage spaces are available at no cost to customers, employees or guests of the use (except for private residential garages).

(c)

Procedure for parking lot review and approval.

Plan commission approval. Any parking lot for a new or expanded development or new or expanded use of land that require site plan review pursuant to § 100-601, or require planned unit development or conditional use approval, shall be forwarded to the plan commission for review and approval. The plan commission shall review the parking lot plan for compliance with this article and other applicable provisions of Chapter 100 and the municipal Code and shall make determinations of interpretations, deviation or exception when necessary. The Zoning Administrator shall have the discretion to refer other parking lots for review and approval prior to issuance of a permit for parking lot construction.

Depiction on required site plan. Any and all parking and traffic circulation areas proposed to be located on the subject property shall be depicted as to their location and configuration on the site plan required for the development or expansion of the subject property. The site plan shall be drawn to scale.

Other required plan information. The site plan for a new or expanded parking lot shall be accompanied by the following information for proposed parking lot improvements.

Exterior lighting plan shall be presented to include drawings or copy of catalog design of the lights and or luminaries, the type and height of light poles, a plan for light pole locations, and a full photometric plan to illustrate proposed lighting design and levels. See § 100-601 for exterior lighting standards.

Drainage and grading plans shall be presented to conform to stormwater management and water quality requirements of Village municipal Code and to provide for practical and appropriate parking lot drainage without ponding.

Landscaping plan shall be presented indicating proposed landscape features, including the location, size and species of proposed landscaping, and showing existing trees and landscaping to be retained. The landscaping plan shall conform to the minimum standards of Subsection 100-402(f)(6) and the minimum standards for landscaping as required within the specific zoning district of the subject property.

Associated parking lot features shall be presented, including, but not limited to, landscaped islands; curb and gutter; stop signs and other directional signage; handicapped/bicycle ramps between the lot and adjoining sidewalks, designated pedestrian routes and pavement markings showing parking spaces, handicapped spaces, pedestrian cross walks and stop lines.

All or part of the information to be presented on a site plan for a new or expanded parking lot may be waived by the Zoning Administrator if a small size of the new or expanded lot does not merit the improvements.

(d)

Parking lot size may be limited. It is the Village's intent to enhance stormwater management by limiting excessive impervious surfaces; therefore, parking lots in which the number of spaces significantly exceeds the minimum number required under this zoning chapter shall be allowed only with specific and reasonable justification.

(e)

Reduction in paved area for parking with use of shared parking. To reduce the amount of increased impervious surface and to maximum resources of site development and parking, an applicant of an use or development at the time of site plan approval or renovation may request the plan commission to approve an exception to providing the full amount of on-site parking area and spaces required by Subsection 100-402(a) if the total amount of required parking spaces is offset by available and accessible parking spaces on an adjacent property or properties. The plan commission may grant an exception up to 50% of the full on-site parking requirement for any site part of a shared parking arrangement during site plan approval, in accordance with the following criteria:

The plan commission finds that the full amount of parking area and spaces required by Subsection 100-402(a) for all uses on the properties subject to the shared parking arrangement are provided and accessible to all uses.

The plan commission finds that the timeframe for peak parking demand varies between uses subject to the shared parking arrangement.

All property owners' part of the shared parking arrangement shall provide written confirmation to the plan commission of concurrence with the request.

Shared parking easements and ingress/egress easements for all parking areas and spaces to be shared between property owners may be required at the discretion of the plan commission or the Village Board. If required, the easements shall be approved by the Village Board after recommendation by the plan commission, and shall be recorded with the county register of deeds. The easements shall be permanent and shall be transferred with change of property ownership.

(5)

Driveways, parking areas and parking spaces of adjacent properties with a shared parking arrangement may be allowed to cross property lines and encroach the green space setback as required within the zoning district standards of the subject property. The elimination of the green space setback shall be only along the property line adjacent to the property to which a shared parking agreement is in place. The required green space square footage not provided along the property line due to the share parking agreement in accordance with this paragraph shall be provided elsewhere on the subject site, in addition to the required green space of other property line setbacks.

(f)

Design of parking lots and parking spaces. Any parking lot for a new or expanded development or new or expanded use shall be designed with the following minimum criteria:

Parking lot, parking stall and driveway access.

Each parking lot shall be appropriately designed to allow for vehicle access and proper turning movements of emergency vehicles, delivery vehicles and other large vehicles.

All parking lots shall have at least one vehicle access point to a public street and shall be shown on the site plan.

All parking lot vehicle access points with local streets shall be reviewed and approved by the plan commission. All access points with a county highway shall be reviewed by the plan commission with final approval by the appropriate county highway authority. All access points with a state highway shall be reviewed by the plan commission with final approval by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.

The number and location of parking lot vehicle access points may be limited by the appropriate authority in the interest of public safety and acceptable transportation engineering standards.

Throat length of parking lot vehicle access shall be of an appropriate length for proper stacking of entering/exiting vehicles to promote safe internal and external vehicle circulation and turning movements. Throat length may be regulated by the county or state highway authorities.

f.

Each parking stall shall open directly upon an aisle or driveway designed to provide a safe and efficient means of vehicular access to the parking space without directly backing or maneuvering a vehicle into a public right-of-way.

g.

Each parking stall shall be designed with direct access to an aisle or driveway having a safe and clear route to a public right-of-way.

Parking stall and aisle minimum dimensions, for non-handicapped stalls.

Minimum area: 180 square feet.

Minimum width for all standard stalls: nine feet.

Minimum width for angled stalls: 10 feet.

Minimum width for parallel parking stalls: eight feet.

Minimum parking lot aisle width: 24 feet, except may be reduced with one-way angled parking stalls to generally acceptable standard for the angle of parking.

Handicapped parking for the disabled. Handicapped parking spaces for use by disabled persons shall be provided in accordance to the number and size required by federal and State of Wisconsin rules.

Location, proximity and setbacks.

Required parking spaces shall be located on the same lot as the principal use except for shared parking arrangements. Required parking spaces shall not be located more than 500 feet from the exterior property line of the principal use.

No vehicle use area shall be located in any required green space setback of the zoning district of the subject property, except for the following:

Driveways may cross the green space setback as close to a 90° angle as reasonably practicable for ingress/egress to the subject property.

When permitting circulation between adjacent properties or to accommodate shared parking arrangements, driveways may cross required greenspace setbacks.

3.

When permitting shared parking arrangements in accordance with the standards of Subsection 100-402(e) and the shared parking is connected across property lines, green space setbacks may be eliminated or reduced with 100% replacement of the green space elsewhere on the subject site.

Curb and gutter outlining a driveway or parking lot shall not be included within the required green space setback. However, where parking spaces with curb and gutter abut the green space setback, the parking space may be designed so that a vehicle can overhang the green space.

(5)

Off-street parking construction.

Surfacing. All vehicle use areas (loading docks, driveways, parking lot aisles and parking spaces) shall be surfaced with a durable asphalt or Portland cement pavement of a minimum of two inches of asphalt or four inches of concrete to provide a dust free surface at all times. In the alternative, a porous pavement or another durable pavement type that assists with on-site storm water management and water quality run-off may be utilized, as approved by the Village engineer.

Required curb and gutter. All vehicle use areas with parking for 20 or more vehicles on a subject property, shall be constructed with full concrete and gutter surrounding the vehicle use areas (both driveways and parking areas); except the plan commission may waive the requirement of curb and gutter if an existing parking lot is expanded that does not have curb and gutter. Gaps in the curbing may occur to facilitate property parking lot drainage.

Grading. All vehicle use areas shall be graded to properly drain of all surface water in accordance with the Village storm water management standards, and as approved by the Village engineer.

Striping. All vehicle use areas with more than five parking spaces shall have the aisles and spaces clearly marked and striped in accordance with the standards of Subsection 100-402(f)(2).

Timeline. Permanent surfacing of vehicle use areas and curb and gutter, if required, shall be completed before the granting of occupancy for the use or uses for which the vehicle use areas are provided. Except the Building Inspector may grant temporary occupancy if weather conditions during the late fall to early spring seasons do not allow installation of the permanent surface and curb and gutter; however a solid surface of gravel must be provided. The plan commission or the Building Inspector may require a timeframe in which to complete surfacing after temporary occupancy is granted.

(6)

Off-street parking area interior landscaping requirements.

Applicability. The interior parking lot landscaping standards of this subsection shall apply to all off-street parking lots and their related vehicular use areas containing 20 or more parking spaces.

Design requirements.

The intent of this subsection is to require large, beneficial landscaped planting areas or peninsulas within vehicular use areas (parking lots, driveways, drive aisles, etc.). Landscaping between the vehicular use area and the building may be counted toward meeting up to 50% of the requirement, however the remaining landscaped area must be located within the vehicular use area itself, and not adjacent to the building.

A minimum of 15 square feet of interior landscaping shall be provided per parking stall.

3.

The interior landscaping shall be provided within planting islands or peninsulas with a minimum area of at least 720 square feet. The intent is to provide larger beneficial planting islands or peninsulas, in lieu of many small islands, that can be useful to assist with stormwater management retention and/or infiltration (e.g. rain gardens) and provide for long-term growth of vegetation (e.g. mature tree cover) planted in the island or peninsula, in lieu of many small islands difficult to maintain and do not allow long term growth.

4.

The interior landscaping shall be placed so as to delineate driving lanes, define rows, protect parking lot light poles and generally mitigate the visual impact of the parking lot.

5.

The interior landscaping shall be composed of a combination of hardy trees, shrubs, perennials, and groundcover that are able to tolerate winter salt and snow, and are underlain by a layer of decorative mulch and weed barrier where applicable. Where islands are used as retention/infiltration areas for stormwater management, they should be landscaped appropriately for that purpose. Proposed plantings shall be tolerant of flood conditions.

6.

The interior landscaping shall not exceed 30 inches in height at maturity when located within an identified vision triangle.

7.

Parking areas may sheet drain into the interior islands, peninsulas, or exterior parking lot landscape areas through cuts in the curb or other apertures.

Required trees.

Where zoning district regulations or other standards specify the minimum number of trees to be provided on a site, a minimum of 10% of those trees shall be located within vehicular use areas. Where a landscape border or other landscape area abuts the vehicular use area, shade or ornamental trees within those landscape areas may count toward the vehicular use area requirement, provided the trees are located within 10 feet of the vehicular use area.

Trees shall be planted in such a way that they are protected from vehicle damage.

3.

Existing trees of desirable species and quality that can be preserved, where grading does not cut them off from a reasonable supply of water and where the area under the canopy remains undisturbed, shall count toward the tree requirements for off-street parking areas on a tree-for-tree basis, provided they are located within the vehicular use area or within 10 feet of it.

4.

Sufficient diversity of tree species shall be provided so as to help prevent the spread of detrimental insect infestation and disease.

5.

Refer to Chapter 34 of this Code for additional standards for tree preservation and the planting of trees,

Parking lot screening. Parking lots shall be screened from adjacent residential properties by a perimeter landscape screen to be located within 15 feet of the edge of the pavement. The plants selected for use in the landscape screen shall be suited for such plantings and be arranged in such manner as to provide an effective visual barrier. Screening within vision corners shall adhere to the vision corner requirements of § 100-406.

[Ord. No. 906, § I, 12-15-2015]

All driveways installed, altered, changed, replaced or extended after the effective date of this article shall meet the following requirements:

Driveway opening setbacks. Driveway openings shall be located at least five feet from all lot lines on properties with a width greater than 66 feet. Lots with a width of 66 feet or less shall be located at least three feet from all lot lines. The board of zoning and building appeals may modify this requirement where lots are so narrow as to require a shared driveway between adjacent properties.

Boulevard entrance islands. Islands separating ingress and egress openings shall be provided with a boulevard island of at least six feet in width and shall be appropriately landscaped given site location and vision corner requirements.

Driveway specifications.

One- and two-family residential and A-1 district uses:

Driveway width, at property line: 10 feet minimum, 24 feet maximum.

Only one driveway is permitted unless plan commission approval is received.

Multifamily residential, and B-1, B-2 and P-1 uses:

Driveway width, at property line: 18 feet minimum, 24 feet maximum, except for unified multifamily developments with multiple buildings, boulevard style driveways may be installed with plan commission approval. The width of each lane of a boulevard style driveway may be specified by the plan commission at the time of approval.

A maximum of two driveways are permitted unless plan commission approval is received.

All uses in the following districts: B-3, B-4, B-5, M-1 through M-5.

A maximum of two driveways are permitted unless plan commission approval is received.

All driveways internal to the site shall be designed for two-way traffic at a minimum width of 24 feet, unless plan commission approval is received with justification from the applicant for a twenty-foot two-way traffic driveway or a sixteen-foot one-way traffic lane (this does not apply to single-family, two-family or multifamily where a driveway directly extends from a public right-of-way to a garage for the individual dwelling unit).

Vehicular entrances and exits. Vehicular entrances and exits to theaters, banks, restaurants, motels, funeral homes, vehicular sales, service stations or automobile washing and repair stations or garages shall be located not less than 200 feet from any pedestrian entrance or exit to a school, college, university, church, hospital, park, playground, library, public emergency shelter or other place of public assembly.

Vehicular parking location. Within non-single family residential zoning districts all motor vehicles shall be parked within an enclosed building or on an approved driveway or parking lot. In single-family residential zoning districts, parking shall not occur within a side or rear yard, except on a driveway or solid surface. This provision does not apply to agricultural zoning districts.

[Ord. No. 906, § I, 12-15-2015]

No direct private access shall be permitted to existing or proposed rights-of-way of expressways, or to any controlled access arterial street, without permission from the highway agency having access control jurisdiction. No direct public or private access shall be permitted to the existing or proposed rights-of-way of the following:

Arterial streets intersecting other arterial streets within 100 feet of the intersection of the right-of-way lines.

Collector and minor land access streets intersecting an arterial street or another minor land access street within 50 feet of the intersection of the right-of-way lines.
