Lake County Zoning Code § 46.13 Location requirements (CA)

(a) Parking required in any district shall be located on the same lot as the building or use that it is to serve, or located on an adjacent or contiguous lot pursuant to an agreement with the County that the lots in question be held as one lot for the life of the project or merged to create one lot, except as provided in Subsections (b) and (d) below. Off-street parking shall be available without charge except for public institutions.
(b) Off-street, off-site, and non-contiguous parking lots may be permitted when located within three hundred (300) feet of the lot line, containing the building or use that the parking is to serve subject to a minor use permit, or when located further than three hundred (300) feet of the lot line, containing the building or use the parking is to serve subject to a major use permit, and provided that the parking lot is in the same ownership as the use, or is under a recorded lease with the use that provides that the parking will exist as long as the use it serves, unless the parking is replaced with other spaces that satisfy the requirements of this Article. (Ord. No 2559, 06/21/2001)
(c) Shared on-site parking adjustment: Where two (2) or more nonresidential uses are on a single site, the number of parking spaces may be reduced through adjustment at a rate of five (5) percent for each separate use, up to a maximum of ten (10) percent as long as the total number of spaces is not less than required for the use requiring the largest number of spaces. The parking adjustment shall be reviewed and approved by the Review Authority.
(d) Joint use parking adjustment: Where two (2) or more nonresidential uses propose to share parking spaces on or off-site, the applicant shall meet the applicable requirements of Subsection (b) and the applicant shall show that there is no substantial conflict in the operating hours or uses.
