Title/Name/Summary
Land Development Code - Substantive Amendment: Car Dealership Parking and Storage
History
AMENDMENT SUMMARY
SECTION 6-306
Clarify required number of parking spaces calculation for automobile sales and rental land uses.
AMENDMENT EXPLANATION
The Land Development Code states that applicants requiring more than a 20% increase in addition to the required number allocated parking spaces must seek a variance or a special use modification. Due to automobile sales and rental uses having a substantial number of car inventory, they must almost always apply for a variance or a special use permit which is cumbersome for the applicant and an inefficient use of Development Services time. As a result, Staff recommends removing automobile sales and rental inventory from the calculation of off-street parking requirements. This amendment was recommended for approval at the 12/18/23 Committee of the Whole meeting and was requested that staff clarify the amendment language. The amendment was changed to allow for better clarity and sentence flow.
This agenda item is being considered by the Committee of the Whole and the Village Board of Trustees on the same night.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to recommend the Village Board to approve the Plan Commission recommended action for case number 2023-0858, also known as Substantive Amendment: Car Dealership Parking and Storage.
