PARKING LOT LAYOUT
B. Materials: All off-street parking lots, loading areas, drive- through facilities, and driveways shall be constructed using a hard surface, all-weather, dustless material.
1. Recycled Materials: Asphalt paving that is utilized for parking facilities is encouraged to contain a minimum of twenty percent (20%) recycled materials.
2. Pervious Materials: Pervious materials may be used for parking facilities subject to the prior written approval of the Zoning Administrator.
C. Access:
1. Parking Lots: Parking lots shall be designed with adequate means of vehicular access from a driveway, street, or alley in a manner that minimizes interference with traffic movement. Parking facilities must be designed to allow the driver to proceed forward into traffic from an access point, rather than backing out. Parking facilities that serve single-unit, two-unit, and townhouse dwellings are exempt from this requirement.
2. Parking Spaces: Each parking space within a parking lot shall open directly into an aisle or driveway of sufficient width to provide adequate means of vehicular access to the parking space.
D. Striping: Off-street parking lots shall delineate parking spaces with paint or another permanent, durable material, which shall be maintained in order to remain clearly visible.
E. Wheel Stops, Bumper Stops, And Curbing: Wheel stops, bumper stops, and/or curbing shall be permanently and securely installed along the perimeter of parking lots to prevent vehicles from encroaching on sidewalks, landscape areas, fencing, walls, or buildings. The zoning administrator may approve an alternate configuration including the use of bollards to prevent vehicles from encroaching on pedestrian way or buildings.
F. Drainage: Off-street parking lots shall be graded for proper drainage so that water will not flow into adjacent properties, as approved by the Village Engineer. On-site retention and filtration of stormwater shall be provided where practical.
G. Pedestrian Circulation Systems: Parking facilities shall meet the applicable requirements of section 10-8-7, "Pedestrian Circulation Systems", of this chapter.
H. Landscape Requirements: Parking facilities shall meet the applicable landscape requirements of chapter 9, "Landscape Standards", of this title.
I. Outdoor Lighting Requirements: Parking facilities shall meet the applicable outdoor lighting requirements of section 10-9-8, "Outdoor Lighting", of this title.
J. Sign Requirements: Parking facilities shall meet the applicable sign requirements of chapter 10, "Signs", of this title.
K. Snow Storage: Snow storage areas shall be provided on or adjacent to all off-street parking facilities.
1. Obstructions: Snow shall be stored in a manner that does not restrict access, circulation, or sight lines for pedestrians or vehicles at driveways, sidewalks, or other access points. Required off-street parking spaces, driveways, access aisles, and walkways shall not be used for snow storage.
2. Storage In Landscape Areas: Landscape areas shall not be used for snow storage unless designed for that purpose with non- compacted soils, adequate area for snow piles, and plantings selected for salt-tolerance and durability.
3. Storage In Stormwater Management Facilities: Snow should not be stored on top of storm drain catch basins or within stormwater management facilities.
4. Off-Site Snow Storage: If snow storage cannot be accommodated on-site, the applicant shall make arrangements for off-site snow storage with approval from the Zoning Administrator.
L. C-2 District Standards: Parking lots in the C-2 District shall have a maximum of one row of parking located in the front or corner side yard in accordance with section 10-6-18, "C-2 Commercial District", of this title.
