All new parking lots and all alterations of
existing lots shall be subject to the approval of the Village Board,
after a recommendation from the Plan Commission. 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 within the fire zone
as designated on the Official Map, there shall be provided at the
time any use or building is erected, enlarged, extended, or increased
off-street parking stalls 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 nine 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 so 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 protect adjacent residential uses. Large expanses
of unchanneled parking areas shall be avoided by interior landscaping
and safety islands.
C. Location.
(1) Location shall be on the same lot as the principal
use or not over 400 feet from the principal use.
(2) Off-street parking is permitted in all yards of all
districts, except in the front yards of single-family and multifamily
residence districts, but shall not be closer than five feet to a side
lot line, right-of-way line, or rear lot line.
(3) Off-street parking in the single-family residence and multifamily residence districts is permitted in the front yard in the driveway, even though closer than five feet to a side lot line, provided that the driveway conforms to the requirements in §
415-50.
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 approval
by the Zoning Administrator.
(3) Plans. All plans for such proposed parking areas,
at the discretion of the Zoning Administrator, 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 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 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.
F. Curbs. Curbs or barriers shall be installed a minimum
of four feet from a property line so as to prevent the parked vehicles
from extending over any lot lines.
G. Number of stalls. The number of parking stalls required
is shown in the following table, except that uses as itemized in the
B-1 and B-2 Zoning Districts shall provide one parking space for each
200 square feet of gross floor area in excess of 2,000 square feet,
