[Amended 3-15-1993 by Ord. No. 7-93]
(1)
All open off-street parking areas shall provide parking
spaces for use by motor vehicles which transport physically disabled
persons in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility

(2)
All parking spaces provided for use by physically
disabled persons shall be marked by a sign which includes the international

shall be closer than 25 feet to a residential lot line or a street
right-of-way opposite a residential district.
E.
Surfacing.
(1)
Except in the A-1 General Agricultural/Holding District, all off-street
parking areas shall be surfaced with an asphaltic or portland cement
pavement so as to provide a durable and dust-free surface and shall
be so graded and drained as to dispose of all surface water. Any parking
area for more than five vehicles shall have the aisles and spaces
clearly marked.
[Amended 5-17-2018 by Ord. No. 4-18]
(2)
Surfacing of parking areas shall be completed before
occupancy is granted. The Plan Commission may, however, permit a delay
in surfacing in the M-1 and M-2 Manufacturing Districts, provided
that surfacing will be completed within three years following occupancy.
When a delay is permitted, the Plan Commission may require appropriate
sureties to guarantee that the surfacing will be completed on schedule.
F.
Landscaping. All public off-street parking areas which
serve five or more vehicles and are created or redesigned and rebuilt
subsequent to the adoption of this chapter shall be provided with
accessory landscaped areas totaling not less than 5% of the surfaced
area. The minimum size of each landscaped area shall be 100 square
feet. Location of landscaped areas, plant materials, protection afforded
the plantings, including curbing, and provision for maintenance shall
be subject to approval by the Plan Commission. All plans for proposed
parking areas shall include a topographic survey and 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 required
minimum landscaped area. Parking areas for five or more vehicles which
adjoin residential districts shall be visually screened with a solid
wall, fence, or evergreen planting of equivalent visual density, or
other effective means, built and maintained to a minimum height of
six feet.
G.
Curbs or barriers shall be installed at least four
feet from a property line so as to prevent parked vehicles from extending
over any lot line.
H.
The following guide specifies the minimum number of
parking spaces required. In the case of structures or uses not specified
herein, the number of spaces specified for a similar use shall apply.
In developments involving the establishment or addition of two or
more uses on one lot or parcel, the cumulative number of spaces required
for each use shall determine the total number of spaces required.

(or roadway).
C.
Vehicular entrances and exits to drive-in theaters,

[Added 8-1-1994 by Ord. No. 26-94]
A.
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to allow adjustments
to the minimum number of parking spaces required to avoid constructing
unneeded and excessive off-street parking facilities. Reducing the
amount of excess off-street parking facilities is intended to provide
for more cost-efficient site development, to eliminate constructing
more impervious surface than necessary, to minimize stormwater runoff,
to avoid construction of unnecessarily large stormwater management
facilities, and to provide more landscape areas and open space on
commercial and industrial sites. To achieve these purposes, the Plan
Commission may reduce the minimum number of required off-street parking
spaces in specific cases as described in this section.
B.
Adjustments. In all business and manufacturing districts,
the minimum number of required parking spaces may be adjusted by the
Plan Commission on a case-by-case basis. The petitioner for such an
adjustment shall show to the satisfaction of the Plan Commission that
adequate parking will be provided for customers, clients, visitors,
and employees. The following provisions and factors shall be used
as a basis to adjust parking requirements:
[Amended 1-12-2004 by Ord. No. 3-04]
(1)
Evidence that actual parking demands will be less
than the requirements of this chapter. The petitioner shall submit
written documentation and data to the satisfaction of the Plan Commission
that the operation will require less parking than this chapter requires.
(2)
Availability of shared parking. The petitioner shall
submit written documentation to the satisfaction of the Plan Commission
that off-site shared parking spaces are available to satisfy the parking
demand. When a reduction of parking spaces attributable to shared
parking is requested, the petitioner shall submit written verification
that such parking is available and shall include copies of any contracts,
joint lease agreements, purchase agreements, and other such documentation
to show that such shared parking can be accomplished. The Village
Attorney shall provide an opinion designating the method by which
the required shared parking shall be provided. The off-site shared
parking spaces shall be clearly posted for the joint use of employees
and/or tenants or customers of each respective use sharing those spaces.
(3)
Use of on-street parking for visitors. Available nearby
on-street parking may be counted toward visitor parking needs. This
may only be allowed when on-street parking is permitted in a specific
location, and then only when such on-street parking spaces are within
250 feet of the entrance they are intended to serve.
(4)
Use of alternative transportation. Upon demonstration
to the Plan Commission that effective alternative transportation to
the automobile will occur, the Plan Commission may reduce parking
requirements. Alternative transportation may include, but is not limited
to, bus transit, van pool operations, car pool/ride sharing, and bicycles.
Parking management plans may include, but are not limited to, flexible
working hours or shifts, preferential parking for car pools/van pools,
transit/van pool fare subsidy, imposition of a charge for parking,
and establishment of a transportation coordinator to implement car
pool, van pool and transit programs. Proposals for adjustments of
parking requirements under this section shall show how the alternative
transportation modes will be implemented, the permanency of such modes,
the extent of the program, the number of vehicles the mode will replace,
and other pertinent information.
C.
Space to be set aside for reduced parking. The site
plan for the commercial or industrial use shall be designed to provide
sufficient open space on the subject site to accommodate the additional
parking spaces otherwise required by this chapter. Such open space
shall be in addition to required yards, setbacks, driveways, private
streets, and loading and service areas. Sufficient open space shall
be provided which, if converted to parking spaces, would provide off-street
parking to meet the full requirements of this chapter at the time
of application.
D.
Changes in occupancy or use. When the use of a building,
structure, or land is changed to another use or occupancy that requires
more parking spaces than required for the use existing immediately
prior to such change, additional parking spaces shall be constructed
for the new use or occupant in the amount necessary to conform to
this chapter.
E.
Changes in intensity of use. When the intensity of
use of a building, structure or land is increased by an addition of
employees, gross floor area, seating capacity, or other unit of measurement,
additional parking spaces shall be constructed for such additions
in the amount necessary to conform to this chapter.
