Off-street parking spaces, open or enclosed,
and loading spaces are permitted as accessory to any use, subject
to the provisions of this section.
A.
Eligible areas. Areas which may be computed as open
or enclosed off-street parking spaces include any private garage,
carport or other area available for parking, other than a street.
A residential driveway in a front yard shall count for no more than
one off-street parking space for a driveway with a width of at least
10 feet but less than 18 feet, while driveways with a width greater
than 18 feet may count as two parking spaces.
[Amended 9-14-2023 by L.L. No. 10-2023]
B.
Ineligible areas. Any spaces allocated as a loading
space or maneuvering area shall not be used for the storage of goods,
inoperable vehicles or be included as part of the space requirements
for parking.
C.
Number to be maintained. The required number of off-street
parking spaces and loading spaces shall be satisfactorily maintained
throughout the existence of the use, unless acceptable parking spaces
are provided elsewhere. Loading spaces shall be provided and maintained
on the same lot with the pertinent use or uses.
[Amended 6-13-2017 by L.L. No. 5-2017]
D.
Off-site parking. If the Planning Board determines
that providing some or all required parking on the site is impractical,
the Planning Board may permit off-street parking within 500 feet of
the use and located on a lot either in the same ownership or leased
for a period consistent with the nature of the use. The Board shall
require the owner to file a recordable document with the Village requiring
the owner to maintain the required number of off-street spaces during
the existence of said principal use.
E.
Commercial and oversized vehicles and equipment/landscaping
and construction equipment.

and enclosed for purposes of security and visual screening.
G.
Rebuilding of damaged structure. Should a building,
structure or use be damaged or destroyed by fire or other cause, any
off-street parking or loading areas which existed must be retained;
but should plans propose an enlargement of the floor areas which would
affect the parking or loading requirements, the parking or loading
spaces shall be enlarged accordingly.
H.
Fractions. When determining the number of parking
spaces or loading spaces required results in a fraction, each fraction
of 1/2 or more shall constitute another space.
I.
Setback from residential use. No off-street open parking

20% above the basic requirements.
[Amended 6-13-2017 by L.L. No. 5-2017]

factors entering into the parking demands of each and every use proposed,
whichever is less. To assist the Planning Board in this determination
the applicant shall complete the applicable portions of Chart No.

B.
Accommodation of the handicapped. The Planning Board's
determination of the minimum required number of parking spaces for
any use shall include all spaces required by state law to serve handicapped
persons.
C.
Single ownership and control. For the purpose of determining
the parking requirements for structures, any land developed as a unit,
under single ownership and control, shall be considered a single lot.
D.
Combined parking areas:
(1)
Required parking spaces may be provided in spaces
designed to serve jointly two or more establishments, whether or not
located on the same lot, and the number of required spaces in such
joint facilities shall not be less than the total required for all
such establishments.
(2)
When any lot contains two or more uses having different
parking requirements, the minimum parking requirement for each use
shall apply to the extent of that use. Where it can be reasonably
demonstrated, based on Chart No. 3, that one or more such uses will
generate a demand for parking spaces primarily during periods when
the other use or uses is not or are not in operation, the Planning
Board may reduce the minimum number of parking spaces required for
the use with the least requirement.
E.
Reserve parking. In addition to the minimum required
number of off-street parking spaces, the Planning Board may require
a reserve area of 20% of the total area required for off-street parking
to provide for additional parking should future demand for parking
spaces exceed the number of spaces provided. Such reserve area available
for future parking use must be graded, sodded and maintained as lawn,
but is not to be surfaced or otherwise developed for parking use until
such time that that use is required as determined by reconsideration
by the Planning Board of the minimum required off-street parking spaces.

Fire grading. The building or parking structure shall
be designed on the basis of a moderate fire hazard storage use with
a fire grading of three hours.
C.
Parking levels. The maximum number of parking levels
permitted shall be three stories, including the ground floor and basement
level.
D.
Guide rails. Open parking structures shall have protective
guide rails, which shall be at least three feet six inches in height
