C. - Off-street parking regulations and requirements.

1.

Location of parking facilities: Unless otherwise approved as part of a special use permit or planned unit development, all required off-street parking and loading facilities, which serve a building, structure or land uses, which are erected, established, altered, enlarged, or intensified after the effective date hereof, and all such parking facilities which are established or increased voluntarily pursuant to this title, shall be located on the same lot as the building, structure, or use of land to be served.

2.

Joint parking facilities:

a.

Collective off-street parking facilities for different buildings, structures or uses, or for mixed uses, may be permitted by the village as a special use, according to procedures set forth in article 4.I., of this title.

b.

The total number of spaces provided may be less than the sum of the separate parking requirements specified in section D., of this article, for each building or use, provided that:

1)

The parking to be provided for individual land uses shall reflect the actual peak demand for parking as defined by ordinance.

2)

The land uses and the shared parking facility shall be located close enough to one another, so that individuals would be willing to walk to each use from most points in the parking facility.

3)

Parking spaces to be shared shall not be reserved for certain individuals or groups on a 24-hour basis.

4)

Any subsequent change in land uses within the shared parking area shall require a new special use permit, and proof that sufficient parking shall be made available.

3.

Driveway and yard requirements:

a.

Single-family, two-family, townhome, and multi-family dwellings:

1)

Driveways may be constructed in a front or corner side yard, provided they are so located as to comply with minimum building setbacks established for the district in which the dwelling is located. This section is not intended, however, to preclude access from the street to a driveway that may be constructed parallel to that street.

2)

Driveways shall not be located closer than five feet from a rear lot line.

3)

For purposes of this title, required parking for single-family, two-family, townhome, and multi-family dwellings may include one space in a garage and one space on the driveway, provided however, driveways are at least nine feet by 21 feet.

b.

All other uses: Perimeter yards for off-street parking and off-street loading facilities shall be as set forth in the underlying zoning district.

4.

Access:

a.

Each required off-street parking space shall open directly upon an aisle or driveway of such width and design as to provide safe and efficient means of vehicular access to such parking space. Off-street parking facilities shall be designed with appropriate means of vehicular access to a street or alley in a manner that will least interfere with traffic movements.

b.

All areas providing for off-street parking facilities shall open directly upon an aisle or driveway not less than nine feet wide for single-family, and 12 feet wide for all others, or such additional width and design as shown in the table below:

Parking Aisle	Curb Length	Stall Depth	Stall Width	Aisle Width	Bay Width
90°	9.0'	18.0'	9.0'	24.0'	60.0'
60°	10.4'	20.0'	9.0'	16.0'	56.0'
45°	12.7'	19.1'	9.0'	12.0'	50.2'
0°	24.0'	24.0'	9.0'	12.0'	NA

 

Note: These standards are for a nine feet by 18' parking space.

5.

Floor area: For the purpose of determining off-street parking and off-street loading requirements, floor area shall be calculated as the sum of the gross horizontal area of the several floors of the building or buildings, excluding:

a.

Areas used for off-street parking and loading facilities.

b.

The horizontal areas of the basement and cellar floors that are devoted exclusively to uses accessory to the operation of the entire building.

c.

The horizontal areas of boiler and mechanical rooms used for heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment, whether located on the roof or within the building.

6.

Computation:

a.

When determination of the number of off-street parking spaces required by this article results in a requirement of a fractional space, any fraction of one-half or less may be disregarded while a fraction in excess of one-half shall be counted as one parking space.

b.

If a particular use is not listed in section D of this article, the village administrator shall determine the parking requirements of said use by assigning the same parking facility requirements as another use which is deemed to be similar in nature to, and compatible with, said unlisted use.

7.

Size:

a.

Required parking shall be at least nine feet in width and at least 18 feet in length, exclusive of access drives or aisles, ramps, or columns.

b.

The number and dimension of parking spaces set aside for the handicapped shall be provided in accordance with the standards of the Illinois Capitol Development Board, as set forth in "Illinois Accessibility Code", dated April 24, 1997, as may be amended from time to time.

8.

Design:

a.

Surface:

1)

All open off-street parking lots and driveways for residential dwellings shall be improved with a hard surface, as approved by the village engineer. The village engineer may require modifications to the standards listed below for asphalt and concrete pavements, depending upon the intended use of the driveway or parking lot.

2)

Asphalt: Compacted crushed aggregate base, not less than six inches thick, and surfaced with asphaltic concrete not less than two inches thick.

3)

Concrete: Not less than four inches thick for residential driveways, and six inches thick for all other off-street parking lots.

4)

Pavers: As approved by the village engineer.

5)

The surface of a parking lot shall be striped to clearly define spaces and drive aisles. Proposed striping shall be subject to approval by the village engineer.

b.

Curbing: All off-street parking facilities consisting of four or more spaces shall be improved with concrete curbing, unless otherwise approved by the village board.

c.

Lighting: Parking lot lighting shall be required for lots with more than ten spaces that are used at night. Where installed, a photometric plan, superimposed on a site plan of the proposed development should be submitted that shows:

1)

Average foot-candles will range from 1.0 to 3.0.

2)

Lighting will be evenly distributed through the parking lot.

3)

No "hot spots" under luminaries shall be allowed. Generally, foot-candles under the light source shall not exceed 10.0.

4)

A minimum of 0.50 foot-candles shall be provided for all parking spaces.

5)

Light shall be confined to the property. Excess spillage over 0.50 foot-candles onto adjacent properties or public rights of way shall not be allowed.

6)

Glare, resulting from exposed light sources shall not be allowed. Lamps shall be designed so that they are "flush" with the fixture, or shielded to cover the source of light.

7)

Lighting shall be extinguished one-half hour after the close of business, except as may otherwise be permitted or required by the village board.

d.

Screening and landscaping: Screening and landscaping shall conform to the Village of Hinckley Landscape Ordinance

9.

Access control and signage:

a.

There shall be no more than one entrance and one exit or one combined entrance and exit along any street unless an additional entrance/exit is approved by the village board for the alleviation of traffic congestion and interference of traffic movement along the street.

b.

One-way driveways shall be clearly marked with appropriate entrance and exit signs.

c.

If, in the opinion of the village engineer, traffic in the vicinity of the site warrants the restriction of turning movement or access to and from a parking facility, signs or driveway modifications necessary to accomplish said restrictions shall be provided.

d.

Accessory, or directional signs may be double sided, but shall be limited to four square feet of sign area per sign face. Signs shall not be greater than four feet in height. The village engineer may, however, approve exceptions to these requirements if additional height and area is necessary to include essential informational copy.

10.

Repair and service: No motor vehicle work or service of any kind, other than temporary repairs, shall be permitted in any off-street parking facility.
