6. Unfinished Business
a. To review the Tra ic Pattern on N. Yale Ave from North Ave (IL 64) to Armitage Ave
This item was tabled at the December 17th meeting for sta to gather additional information.
Director Guera presented. There was an issue printing sta reports in the attachments. Additional reports are
provided with the Commissioners’ packets that were not initially provided. The tra ic studies that could not be
performed prior to the December meeting have been completed and a report with tra ic counts broken down by
hour and direction has been provided. Tra ic increased as the day progressed with the peak between 4:00pm and
6:00pm. All tra ic was light duty, with percentage of vehicle types included for a total of between 800 and 850
vehicles in each direction.
Sergeant Haimann provided a memo previously that summarized services calls at this location. 19 calls were
received between 2021 and 2025 including 7 tra ic violations and no parking citations. 5 extra patrols were
conducted by o ices.
Minutes from previous Tra ic and Safety Commission meetings back to 2020 where this item was discussed are
included in the packet. Based on previous meetings, sta reached out to the Village of Addison and they were not
in favor of removing barriers on Harvard Ave and Chatham Ave.
Commissioner Khan asked for clarification of the meaning of“lights” in the report. Director Guerra answered that
it means the classification of vehicle. Light duty vehicles are passenger vehicles, making up about 99% of vehicles.
The primary classifications are motorcycles, light vehicles, single unit trucks and articulated trucks. The dates of
the study were clarified, starting in Wednesday, December 17 to Thursday, December 18. Studies are typically
done between Tuesdays and Thursdays to give a general representation of everyday tra ic.
Chairperson Gonzales asked if this location was near a motorcycle shop because the report noted no motorcycles.
Director Guerra explained that the motorcycle shop is on Armitage and there may have been zero motorcycles due
to the time of year.
Commissioner Hasler asked Sgt. Haimann if the tra ic violations noted at this location are typical and noted that
speed information would have also been helpful. Sgt. Haimann responded that it is typical across the Village.
Director Guerra replied that the study was supposed to provide speeds but it was not picked up possibly due to
limited daylight hours. Additional study can be done. Sgt. Haimann noted no additional calls for speed.
Commissioner Hasler noted that there does not seem to be anything out of the ordinary at this location but that
the public still thought it was an issue and asked if there is any additional study that can be done or if Addison has
changed their position. Director Guerra said that sta can ask Addison again. Additionally tra ic calming has
been considered by sta . Stop signs are already in place and the road is already narrow. Speed tables are not
typically promoted by sta and have to be removed for winter.
Page 4 of 146
Commissioner Khan asked how the counts compare to other roads. Director Guerra noted that he believes its
within the normal range.
It was requested that sta perform a speed study at this location and to ask Addison if they would reconsider
segregation of the roads.
Motion
Commissioner Hasler made a motion to table the item until additional data could be collected.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner D’Alessandro

b. Review of Parking Study for the Villa Ave Business District – Possible 2 hour time limit for
parking stalls on Park Ave from Villa to Oakland
This item was tabled at the December 17th meeting for sta to gather additional information.
Director Guerra noted that one of the recommendations was to increase signage. Sta installed signs indicating
that there was additional parking on Park Ave. No additional parking studies were done due to the holidays. Sgt.
Haimann noted there were no parking citations in the area in 2024 and 2025.
Commissioner D’Alessandro parking counts to better inform the Commissions decision.
Chairperson Gonzales asked if the restrictions are being considered due to future development or current
conditions. Director Guerra responded that it is not correlated with the new development but may help during
construction. It is primarily to encourage parking at this location based on the past parking study. Also there had
been some confusion as to whether this area is dedicated parking for the apartment buildings or public parking.
Commissioner Khan asked how may signs were placed. Two additional signs were installed. Commissioner Khan
also asked where the request came from. This request came from the Trustees following review of the parking
study.
Motion
Commissioner D’Alessandro moved to table the item to get further data on parking counts.

7. New Business
a. Recommendation on an ordinance to the zoning code to allow for digital commercial
signage to be projected onto the Village Right of Way
A request related to the Union development regarding the use of projected light to cost signage onto the right-of-
way. Current ordinance does not allow signage on the right-of-way except temporary sandwich boards during the
daytime. A new ordinance would be needed to allow it. A recommendation of possible discussion topics was
provided. Existing ordinances from other communities could not be found.
Several potential considerations for an ordinance were discussed, including where it would be allowed, how many
per building, size, light pollution/dark sky technology, static vs dynamic displays. It is commonly used indoors at
malls and sports venues. The current request is to use it on the sidewalk.
Commissioner Cuthbertson commented that it is worth consideration and wanted to investigate the pros and
cons. Commissioner Khan agreed. Commissioner D’Alessandro felt it is an opportunity for Villa Park to stand out.
Discussion continued regarding current regulation of signs. Currently signs need to be permitted, and digital signs
are not allowed on St. Charles Road. There are also restrictions as to how often digital sign messages can change
and restrictions on flashing. Other concerns were the content of the messages, implications of AI, and whether
this should be allowed anywhere other than sidewalks.
Commissioner Khan noted that the City of Chicago in specific Wards there are businesses with these type signs.
Perhaps we can consider regulations similar to the City.
Additional data was requested including parameters for the Commission to pick and choose from in order to
prepare a draft ordinance.
Motion
Commissioner Hasler moved to continue the item while additional information is collected.

a. To review the Tra ic Pattern on N. Yale Ave from North Ave (IL 64) to Armitage Ave
This item was tabled at the December 17th and January 21st meetings for sta to gather additional information.
A speed analysis was completed to accompany the tra ic counts provided at the last meeting. A table was
included in the agenda packet. It was noted that roadways are typically designed for the 85th percentile speed. The
speed limit on this road is 25 mph. According to the study 50% of tra ic is going less than 30mph and 85% is going
less than 35mph, which is typical. Additionally, sta reached out to Addison and their position has not changed.
While this concern has been brought to the Commissions attention before, previous findings were also not out of
the ordinary compared to other local roads.
Commissioner D’Alessandro thanked sta for their e orts in obtaining the data and coordinating with Addison.

b. Review of Parking Study for the Villa Ave Business District – Possible 2 hour time limit for
parking stalls on Park Ave from Villa to Oakland
This item was tabled at the December 17th and January 21st meetings for sta to gather additional information.
Director Guerra presented parking counts collected by Sgt. Haimann and the Police Department. A total of 18
parking spaces are in the studied area, with 1 handicap space. The spaces are most full at night with up to 14
utilized and typically less than half full during the day. Additional signs directing people to these spaces were
placed previously and patrols increased.
Commissioners Hasler and D’Alessandro agreed that the data appears to show that the spaces are available
during the day for people going to local businesses, and this issue is not a concern. Commissioner Cuthbertson
noted that the data showed nothing out of the ordinary but with the upcoming construction things may change.
Page 9 of 146
Commissioner D’Alessandro thanked sta for installing the signs. This plus future branding are a good idea with
more businesses coming.
Chairperson Gonzales noted that the 18 spaces do not appear to be utilized as it is and that it should be left as-is
for now. However, it could be reconsidered in the future.
Motion
Commissioner D’Alessandro moved to leave the parking as-is with no further limit and close the agenda
item.

7. New Business
a. Discussion on possible alternative parking options for the Terrace Alley Improvement
Project
Director Guerra presented that there had been issues with rodents in this area due to problems with
garbage truck access to the back ofthe apartment buildings. The has right-of-way and is looking to
improve the alley for better access. However, the alley construction would eliminate parking spaces on
the back of the building. The owners are in favor ofthe improvement, but are concerned about the loss
of parking. Parking would roughly be cut in half. The design of the alley is intended to provide enough
through access for commercial waste haulers without having to back up. Other accommodations have
been tried but didn’t work well.
Sta review options to allow permit parking on Terrace which is wide enough for parking or at the nearby
Metra lot which would require residents to walk. There is adequate space in the Metra lot that the Village
owns. Pros and cons for each option were provided. Chairperson Gonzales expressed concerns that
these option require fees to burden the residents.
Commissioner Cuthbertson noted that permits could be issued or have the spots sectioned o instead
of just allowing open parking on the street to denote they are assigned spots and not set a precedence
for other areas.
Commissioner D’Alessandro expressed concern about residents crossing Ardmore Ave to access spots
at the Metra lot with no crosswalk. The realistic option is on the street.
Commissioner Hasler agreed the street parking is the better option but was concerned that without
restrictions, residents from nearby streets could take the overnight street parking spots meant for these
residents.
Page 10 of 146
Director Guerra noted that there are other locations where overnight parking on the right-of-way is
allowed, but it is specific to certain locations, such as Home Avenue in the Village Code. Otherwise
there is a Village-wide restriction on overnight parking rom 2:00am to 6:00am.
Sgt. Haimann noted di erent options for permitting. Ifpermits are issued is the owner or the Village
responsible for enforcement? There is potential legal recourse ifthe car is towed improperly. First come
first served is recommended.
Commissioner Cuthbertson asked ifthe dumpsters are included with the Village waste pickup or is it the
responsibility ofthe owner. Director Guerra noted that for buildings with more than 4 units, the building
owner is responsible. Options for individual garbage cans for each unit were discussed.
Commissioner Hasler asked when the project is happening. The alley project is finishing final design
currently and is budgeted this year. Construction is anticipated in May or June. The issue needs to be
addressed soon, but enough design needed to be done to talk to the building owners before moving
forward.
Commissioner Cuthbertson asked about the plan for parking during construction. Typically the police
are notified to suspend enforcement of overnight parking restrictions in the area.
Commissioner D’Alessandro noted less concern about people taking these spots from other areas
because of the longer walk to their residence. Sgt. Haimann noted that typically during day the all ofthe
spaces along Terrace are taken. The di erence here would be parking at night. The Fire Department
should be asked ifthey have any feedback before making a recommendation. Sta will consult with the
Fire Department.
Director Guerra noted that this was presented for discussion to determine if the Village would entertain
it. A deeper review will be done and additional departments consulted before action is taken.
Chairperson Gonzales asked if all the existing parking is used. Yes, all spaces are utilized and there is
essentially one spot per unit.
Commissioner Hasler stated that parking on the street seems to be simplest option at the moment and
is open to continuing the conversation in more detail and asked what the next step would be
procedurally. The proper procedure would be a recommendation to vet it with all departments and then
draft an ordinance.
Commissioner D’Alessandro asked why there is a restriction from 2:00am to 6:00am. Sgt. Haimann
thought it was to keep the roads clear for tra ic at night and to reduce criminal activity. Director Guerra
added that it prevents waste buildup on the street and to keep from having vehicles that never move.
Commissioner Cuthbertson mentioned having one central waste station instead ofdumpsters at each
unit. Sta noted this could be considered by the owners. Currently residents use whichever dumpsters
seems less full. Commissioner Cuthbertson recommended that all Commissioners drive through the
area. He noted that the improvement is needed.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Plan Commission
FROM: Mike Guerra, Assistant Village Manager
DATE: March 18, 2026
SUBJECT: Discussion on possible alternative parking options for the Terrace Alley
Improvement Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The Village is planning on improving the Terrace Alley from Ardmore to Princeton to allow for greater
access to the properties. This project will impact the properties at 8, 12, 16 and 20 W. Terrace as the
available parking will be decreased to allow for the construction of the alley. This discussion is to
discuss possible options to offset the loss of parking at these properties.
BACKGROUND:The Terrace alley from Ardmore to Princeton has been problematic for the Village
over the past year. The Village has Right of Way (ROW) along the back of the properties located at
8, 12, 16,and 20 W Terrace along with the corner property at 333 N. Princeton Ave. The current
configuration is separate parking lot pavements associated with the adjacent property which allows
for parking for the tenants. Access to the properties is only from the east as they do not connect
internally to Princeton. Due he current configuration and parking in this corridor, access has been
problematic for solid waste collection, snow removal and access to the properties, as there is not
enough clear space through the parking.
To address the issue, the Village began the design to improve the area by providing a designated
alley in its ROW with a connection to Princeton. This would allow a clear path and access to all the
properties equally and allow for solid waste and snow removal to occur. The proposed design is
attached.
In order to construct the proposed alley, the properties' parking lots will be impacted by the loss of
designated parking stalls. The properties are affected as follows:
• 8 W. Terrace will lose 2 parking stalls
• 12 W. Terrace will lose 2 parking stalls
• 16 W. Terrace will lose 4 parking stalls
• 20 W. Terrace will lose 4 parking stalls
• 333 N. Princeton will not lose any stalls but will be slightly impacted.
Page 13 of 146
The Village met three out of the 4 owners, as one didn't respond to a request, and they were all in
favor of the improvements. The only concern is that almost all these units do not have any excess
parking stalls as these buildings were built prior to current zoning requirements. 16 and 20 W.
Terrace only has 8 stalls for 5 units, so removal of 4 stalls would reduce them to below one stall per
unit. This, coupled with several tenants wishing to have 2 stalls, makes parking an issue with the
improvements to the alley.
DISCUSSION:Since the last meeting, staff meet with the owner of the commercial building at 348-
356 N. Ardmore Ave to discuss the alley. The owner was in favor of improving the alley and didn't
have any concerns regarding parking for his building other the temporary closure to construct the
alley. Staff did inquire about a possible partnership with apartment buildings for overnight parking,
but the owner declined to participate. The other request was to review the possibility of having single
garbage totes for the residents but that would not allowed per code as each unit is greater than 4
units. This would require at least 28 carts for solid waste, plus an additional 28 carts for recycling
which would overload the ROW. Therefore the orginal two options remain for for permitted overnight
parking for the apartments on Terrace Street.
Staff's preference would be to provide to allow for permitted overnight parking in the Metra Lot with
enhanced pedestrian crossing at Ardmore and Terrace. Overall this option would include the
following considerations.
Pro's Con's
1. Available Parking stalls available with reduced 1. Possible vehicles being parked in the lot for an
use of the lot extended amount of time without being moved
2. Possible increase in revenue with parking 2. Possible other commercial housing in the area
permitted sales may request permitted parking in lot and thus
reduce the amount of available parking for
commuters.
3. Will not impact the Village operations on 3. Distance from the parking lot to the affected
Terrace Street units is 1–2 blocks.
The other option would be to allow for overnight on Terrace Ave on a first come, first served
basis. This option would include the following considerations.
Pro's Con's
1. Will be limited to only this block 1. Can lead to overcrowding on the street, limiting
traffic flow and snow removal and other Village
services
2. Direct correlation to the buildings the parking 2. Possible vehicles being parked in the ROW for
will serve an extended amount of time
3. Street width is 32 ft which would allow for 2- 3. Increased location in town may lead to
way traffic and parking on one side additional requests that have previously been
denied

MEMORANDUM
TO: Plan Commission
FROM: Mike Guerra, Assistant Village Manager
DATE: March 18, 2026
SUBJECT: Parking Restrictions on Villa Avenue for Old Town Business District
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
To review the current parking restriction on Villa Ave and to provide any possible recommendations
on modifications to the area. This request is to examine the current parking restrictions along Villa
Avenue to see if they should be updated to meet the current Village and the surrounding businesses'
needs, as there have been several changes to the area.
BACKGROUND:
The Village Board, along with several local business owners, has requested a review of the current parking
restrictions on Villa Avenue. This request aims to evaluate whether these restrictions should be updated to better
meet the needs of the Village and surrounding businesses, especially given the significant changes to the area.
Many businesses have transitioned or newly opened since the last parking updates were enacted in 2020.
In 2024, the Village commissioned a parking study of the Old Town District (report attached). More recently, the
Village constructed the Villa Park Recreation Center (VPRC)which removed on-street parking on Wildwood and
Myrtle Avenues in favor of off-street parking. It has been noted that during peak usage of the VPRC, available
parking is limited. Consequently, the Village is in the process of expanding the VPRC parking lot and is currently
awaiting grant funding to help offset construction costs.
Additionally, the Village sold the large municipal lot off Villa Avenue for the construction of the Union apartment
complex. Construction began in late January 2026, which has temporarily removed the off-street lot and several
spaces on Villa Avenue. Upon completion, the project will provide over 90 public parking stalls within a parking
garage and add 2–3 additional on-street parking stalls on Villa Avenue. Finally, the Village is reviewing the design
and layout of the Museum parking lot to make it more prominent and accessible. Staff has performed an initial
review and is meeting with DuPage County to discuss whether the proposed modifications are allowable before
bringing the matter to the Planning & Zoning Commission.
DISCUSSION:It was staff's understanding that the current parking configuration on Villa Avenue—
which includes multiple, varying timed restrictions—was established in 2020 to suit the business
landscape and area usage at that time. Since then, the local business dynamic has shifted
significantly. Long-standing establishments such as Pioneer Garden & Feed, Eclipse Dog Grooming,
and Cherokee Rose have closed. Meanwhile, new businesses have opened, including Villa Perk
Page 17 of 146
Coffee Co. and the Captain’s Room, further changing the needs of the area.
The current patchwork of three different time restrictions has created enforcement challenges in the
past. To address this, staff recommends implementing a uniform time restriction throughout the
area. A consistent 3-hour limit on both sides of the street would allow the Police Department to
enforce parking more effectively by monitoring the area at regular intervals.

Page 20 of 146
1. Introduction
This report summarizes the findings and recommendations of a parking demand assessment of the
parking supply within the Villa Avenue downtown area in Villa Park, Illinois. The study area for
the parking assessment is generally bounded by St. Charles Road on the north, Villa Avenue on
the on the east, Park Boulevard on the south, and Myrtle Avenue on the west. The study area
consists of public and private parking lots and on-street parking spaces that are both regulated and
unregulated and are used by downtown employees, visitors, and patrons.
This parking demand assessment was performed to assist the Village of Villa Park in the evaluation
of the existing and future parking demand operations and develop recommendations on Village
Code appropriateness.
As such, the purpose of this study is four-fold, as follows:
1. Inventory the downtown parking supply and posted parking regulations
2. Document the utilization of the parking supply on a typical weekday and a Saturday and
evaluate the data to identify locations where parking surpluses and deficits exist
3. Estimate the impact on the downtown parking supply from new development projects
4. Recommend improvements to address areas of parking deficit
The following chapters of this report include the documentation and evaluation of existing
downtown parking conditions, estimation of public parking impacts from the new downtown
development projects, and a series of recommendations, policies, and strategies to address areas
of parking deficit.

Off-Street Public and Private Parking Lot Utilization
The average peak utilization of the public parking lots on a weekday and a Saturday are shown in
Figures 11 through 18. The private parking lot utilization on a weekday and a Saturday are shown
in Figures 19 through 26.
Based on the surveys, the average utilization of the public lots never exceeded 70 percent with the
exception of the Cortesi Avenue public lot which exceeded the parking lot capacity from 8:00 P.M.
to 12:00 A.M (double parked). It is important to note that none of the private parking lots exceeded
their capacity.
Most of the private lots average parking utilization was less than 70 percent with a couple of
exceptions such as DeMito’s parking lot and the More Brewing Company lot. It is worth noting
that some of the private lots experienced higher demand at specific hours. However, this demand
only occurred for one or two hours. Bar graphs of each parking lot for both days are included in
the Appendix.

3. Projected Parking Conditions
The future parking conditions in the downtown area will be impacted by redevelopment projects.
With the development of any parcel, the following changes in the parking characteristics must be
examined:
• Type of Parking. The change in the type of parking (i.e., public vs. private) and/or the
parking regulations (i.e., reserved parking, time restrictions, etc.), if any.
• Parking Inventory. The net gain or loss in the number of parking spaces resulting from the
development project.
• Parking Demand. The net gain or loss in parking demand resulting from the development.
Future Downtown Developments
According to Village officials, several new developments are proposed, approved, and/or under
construction in downtown Villa Avenue, as shown in Table 4 and Figure 27.

Multi-Family and Retail Uses Parking Rates
As discussed above, the future downtown developments consist of the reconstruction of the
existing Lions Park and one mixed-use development that will include multi-family residential units
and 8,000 square feet of retail space. For analysis purposes, half of the retail space was assumed
to be a restaurant (100 seats) while the other half was assumed to be general retail. The following
summarizes the peak parking ratios for multi-family developments and retail based on (1) the
Village of Villa Park, and (2) parking rates published in the Parking Generation Manual, 5th
Edition published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE):
• Village of Villa Park Requirements. According to the Village’s Zoning Ordinance,
multifamily developments are required to provide 1.0 parking spaces per unit or 1.0 per
bedroom (whichever is greater). Restaurants are required to provide 0.33 spaces per seat
and retail uses 4.0 spaces per 1,000 square feet.
• ITE Parking Ratios. The ITE Parking Generation Manual indicates that Multifamily
residential land uses (Mid-Rise, Land Use Code 221) have an average parking ratio of 1.23
spaces per unit. A high turnover restaurant and a retail land use have the following peak
parking demand:
PEAK PARKING DEMAND PER ITE
Land Use Monday-Thursday Friday Saturday
High Turnover 8.97 spaces per 14.27 spaces per 11.53 spaces per
Restaurant 1,000 s.f. 1,000 s.f. 1,000 s.f.
2.79 spaces per 3.13 spaces per 2.77 spaces per
Retail
1,000 s.f. 1,000 s.f. 1,000 s.f.
Parking Evaluation of the Future Developments
The following summarizes each of the developments, evaluates the potential changes they would
have on the downtown parking supply and demand, and identifies any positive or negative impacts
they would have on downtown parking conditions.
320 E. Wildwood
This is the redevelopment of the existing Lions Park and is currently under construction. The
redevelopment will be conducted in two phases with the first phase providing 73 off-street parking
spaces and the second phase an additional 53 off-street parking spaces. It is important to note that
this redevelopment will eliminate approximately 38 on-street parking spaces for a net gain of 88
public parking spaces. The net gain in parking spaces will provide adequate parking for the Lions
Park Recreational Center. It is recommended that these parking spaces be made available to the
general public, especially at night-time, to ensure that adequate public parking is provided for all
of the businesses within the downtown center.
Villa Avenue Downtown Parking Study
Villa Park, Illinois 41
Page 61 of 146
110 S. Villa Avenue
This mixed-use development is proposed to be located on the south side of Wildwood Avenue
between Villa Avenue and Myrtle Avenue. The subject site is currently occupied by a vacant parcel
and a public parking lot that provides approximately 49 off-street parking spaces. As proposed,
the site will be redeveloped with a seven-story building providing 220 apartment units with the
following composition:
• Five studio units
• 140 one-bedroom units
• 65 two-bedroom units
• 10 three-bedroom units
In addition, the site will include 8,000 square feet of first floor retail space. Approximately 315
residential only parking spaces and 100 off-street public parking spaces will be provided in a
garage. Furthermore, approximately eight on-street parking spaces will be provided along the west
side of Villa Avenue fronting the development thus providing a net gain of four on-street parking
spaces. As such, the proposed development will provide a net gain of approximately 55 public
parking spaces.
As previously indicated, half of the 8,000 square feet of retail space was assumed to be a restaurant
with 100 seats while the other half was assumed to be a typical retail store. Based on the Village
of Villa Park parking requirements, the development should provide 305 residential spaces and the
retail portion should provide 33 spaces for the restaurant and 16 spaces for the retail space. Based
on this, the development is providing ample parking to meet and exceed the Village of Villa Park
requirements for the residential component. The parking required by the future restaurant and retail
use can be accommodated by the net gain in the number of public parking spaces.
For comparison purposes and based on ITE parking generation data, the residential portion of the
development will have a peak parking demand of approximately 271 vehicles while the restaurant
will have a peak parking demand (Friday) of 57 vehicles and the retail space a peak parking
demand of 13 vehicles. While it appears that the restaurant and retail component of the
development will utilize al of the net gain in public parking spaces, it is important to note that the
adjacent area has ample parking available to accommodate this additional demand and the assumed
land uses peak at different times thus having good parking demand synergy. As such, the proposed
development is providing adequate parking to have a positive impact on the parking supply in the
area.

4. Findings and Recommendations
Based on the findings from the parking surveys, and the evaluation of existing and projected
parking conditions, recommendations were developed to increase utilization of the public parking
supply and mitigate areas where the availability of public parking is constrained. In addition, the
recommendations address options for improving wayfinding signage for the public parking lots
and the utilization of newer parking technologies.
Summary of Findings
As the parking surveys have shown, the overall parking supply within the downtown study area is
sufficient to accommodate the peak parking demand on most days with the exception of some
specific parking areas for a couple of hours. The following summarizes the results of the parking
surveys:
• Typical Weekday. The peak utilization of public parking (on-street and off-street) in the Villa
Avenue downtown area on a typical weekday was 50.9% and occurred around 8:00 P.M. A
minimum of approximately 136 of the 277 public parking spaces were available at this time.
• Typical Saturday. The peak utilization of public parking (on-street and off-street) in the Villa
Avenue downtown area on a typical Saturday was 62.4% and occurred around 8:00 P.M. A
minimum of approximately 104 of the 277 public parking spaces were available at this time.
Recommendations
Enhanced Marketing and Wayfinding
The existing public parking lots are located within a block or two of the areas with the highest
parking demand (DeMito’s and More Brewing Company). Yet the parking surveys revealed that
the on-street parking along Park Boulevard is underutilized in the evenings and/or weekends.
Downtown patrons and business owners can perceive there to be a parking problem if they are
unable to park in front of or within view of their destination. The Village may be able to alleviate
this perception and achieve greater utilization of the on-street parking along Park Boulevard by
publicizing better parking information and improving the visibility and accessibility of these
spaces. Furthermore, the Village should increase the visibility of the public lots from Villa Avenue,
Kenilworth Avenue, and Wildwood Avenue, and implement wayfinding guidance to the lots.
• Develop digital downtown public parking maps – The Village of Villa Park provides various
maps on its website. However, there are no maps for the downtown area. The Village
should create a map showing public parking options within the Villa Avenue downtown
area. The map should also depict all of the public parking options, regulations, and time
limitations. The map should be publicized through multiple media platforms including
websites, social media, and the Villa Park Chamber of Commerce. The map could also be
made available via QR codes. Additional parking lot information should be edited/added
on Google and Apple maps, providing visitors with the tools to see where the adjacent
parking lots are located and decide ahead of their arrival where they would like to park.
Villa Avenue Downtown Parking Study
Villa Park, Illinois 43
Page 63 of 146
• Develop and implement a wayfinding sign system – There is inconsistent signage for the
public lots within the Villa Avenue downtown. There are no advance signs indicating
public parking lot location along Villa Avenue for the lot on the west side of Villa Avenue
north of the Great Western Trail. This lot only has a directional sign immediately north of
its entrance off Villa Avenue and it is in a state of disrepair. Further, there are no signs
along Villa Avenue going northbound indicating the availability of public parking on
Central Boulevard or on either direction along Villa Avenue at its intersection with
Kenilworth Avenue indicating the availability of public parking within the Cortesi Avenue
public lot. Lastly, there is no sign on Myrtle Avenue at its intersection with Central Avenue
indicating the availability of public parking on Central Boulevard or along Park Boulevard.
The Village should prepare a wayfinding master plan that would establish a uniform and
comprehensive system of directional parking signs, lot identifications signs, and parking
trailblazing signs as well as identify the appropriate locations to install these signs.
Emphasis should be placed on parking guidance from Villa Avenue, Kenilworth Avenue
and Central Boulevard. Examples of wayfinding signage are shown below.
La Grange, IL Libertyville, IL Mount Prospect, IL
Examples of Parking Wayfinding Signage
Better Utilization of the Park Boulevard Parking and Public Parking
Park Boulevard offers approximately 47 parking spaces that are very underutilized. Consideration
should be given to better sign these spaces as public parking and providing a pedestrian connection
from the spaces on the north side of Park Boulevard just west of Villa Avenue to the Illinois Prairie
Path in order to make it more attractive and easier for patrons to utilize these spaces. In addition
to improving wayfinding guidance to the lots, as noted above, the following recommendations
were developed to better utilize the public parking lots during weekday evenings and weekends.
Villa Avenue Downtown Parking Study
Villa Park, Illinois 44
Page 64 of 146
Reduce confusion over public and private parking in the vicinity of the lots. The Villa Park
Historical Society Museum lot should be clearly defined as public parking. In order to
better define the public parking lots the following should be considered:
a. Install gateway features at entryways to the public parking lots such as overhead
signs, lot identification signs, and/or landscaping.
b. Install uniform parking banner signs on the light poles along Villa Avenue,
Kenilworth Avenue and Central Boulevard.
Improve parking lots to enhance self-parking Parking Lot Identification Sign
experience and promote the use of the lots. Mount Prospect, IL
This could include repaving/restriping the
lots, adding landscaping, and enhancing
lighting as well as adding electric charging
stations.
Develop visible pedestrian pass-through
routes between the parking spaces on the
north side of Park Boulevard and the Illinois
Prairie Path. This would require
coordination with the DuPage County
Division of Transportation and could be
accomplished with pavement markings, new
sidewalk and/or signage.
Improve pedestrian access to the Illinois
Prairie Path and businesses to the north. The
parking spaces on the north side of Park Install
Boulevard require walking on the grass or Sidewalk
the street to reach the existing pedestrian Segments
system. A sidewalk segment could be
installed along the north side of the parking
spaces connecting with the recommended connection to the Illinois Prairie Path.
Encourage valet parking. Have businesses develop a valet plan to utilize the on-street
parking spaces in front of their respective businesses and valet vehicles to underutilized
parking lots in the downtown area.
Villa Avenue Downtown Parking Study
Villa Park, Illinois 45
Page 65 of 146
Better Utilization of On-Street Parking During Evenings and Weekends
Many of the on-street parking spaces along Villa Avenue have a time limit of three hours until
8:00 P.M. However, most of the businesses along Villa Avenue are closed by 5:00 P.M. In order
to better utilize the on-street parking spaces, consideration should be given to removing the
restriction or reducing it to be from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. in order to provide more unrestricted
parking when the restaurants in the area begin to experience their peak operation.
Elimination of Parking Requirements for Non-Residential Uses with MX Districts
The Villa Avenue downtown area is mainly composed of various MX zoning categories. Based on
the result of the surveys there is plenty of parking available to eliminate the parking requirement
for non-residential uses within the Villa Avenue downtown area. This would allow for the greatest
amount of usage of existing parking facilities and provide for redevelopment opportunities that
will not be burdened with required parking minimums while existing parking spaces remain empty.
The requirement of additional unwarranted parking is a disservice to the limited amount of land
available in the Villa Avenue downtown area and is not the highest and best use long term for the
Village’s economic growth. The elimination of non-residential parking minimums would not be
imposed should a project site desires to provide onsite parking for their own internal needs while
still ensuring that residences have adequate overnight parking supply, so as to not burden the public
on-street parking and public parking lots.

5. Conclusions
This report summarizes the findings from a parking demand assessment of the public parking
supply in the Villa Avenue downtown area in Villa Park, Illinois. The study area for the parking
assessment was selected by Village staff and is generally bounded by St. Charles Road on the
north, Villa Avenue on the on the east, Park Boulevard on the south, and Myrtle Avenue on the
west. The study area consists of public and private parking lots and on-street parking spaces that
are both regulated and unregulated and are used by downtown employees, visitors, and patrons.
The purpose of this study was to assist the Village of Villa Park in the evaluation of the existing
and future parking demand operations and develop recommendations on Village Code
appropriateness.
The following summarizes the findings and results of the study.
Existing Downtown Parking Supply
• The downtown study area provides a total of 277 public parking spaces including
approximately 96 spaces (35%) spread over three public lots and 181 spaces (65%) on the
street.
• 13 private off-street locations with a total of approximately 367 parking spaces are
provided throughout the downtown area.
• Approximately 24 spaces of the 181 on-street spaces are signed for 3-hour parking from
9:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M., 14 spaces are signed for 30-minute parking from 9:00 A.M. to
8:00 P.M. and one space is signed for 15-minute parking. The remaining 142 on-street
spaces do not have any time restrictions.
Existing Downtown Parking Occupancy
• Parking occupancy surveys were performed on Thursday May 4, 2023 and Saturday May
6, 2023 from 9:00 A.M. to 12:00 A.M.
• Of the two days in which the parking occupancy surveys were performed, the peak
utilization of public parking in the Villa Avenue downtown area occurred during the
Saturday evening (9:00 P.M.) when 173 of the 277 public parking spaces (62.4%) were
occupied.
• The peak parking utilization of public parking on a weekday also occurred during the
evening (8:00 P.M.) when 141 of the 277 public parking spaces (50.9%) were occupied.
Villa Avenue Downtown Parking Study
Villa Park, Illinois 47
Page 67 of 146
• Of the three public parking lots surveyed, parking utilization was highest in the Cortesi
Avenue public lot on Saturday from 8:00 P.M. to 12:00 A.M. where the lot was over
capacity with some vehicles double parked.
• Parking utilization was the lowest along Park Avenue throughout the two surveyed days.
• Street parking utilization exceeded 90% during the weekday and Saturday evenings along
the segment of Cortesi Avenue between Kenilworth and Myrtle Avenue.
Projected Parking Demand
• The study examined the parking impact of two downtown redevelopment sites. One site is
the reconstruction of the Lions Recreational Center along Wildwood Avenue. The other
site is the redevelopment of the existing Villa Avenue public parking lot. (110 S. Villa
Avenue).
• The Lions Recreational Center will be conducted in two phases with the first phase
providing 73 off-street parking spaces and the second phase an additional 53 off-street
parking spaces. While the reconstruction will eliminate approximately 38 on-street parking
spaces, there will still be a net gain of 88 public parking spaces.
• The 110 S. Villa Avenue will be a mixed-use development that will provide a seven-story
building with 220 apartment units and 8,000 square feet of ground floor retail. As part of
the development, approximately 315 residential only parking spaces will be provided in a
garage and 100 off-street public parking spaces within a garage. Furthermore,
approximately eight on-street parking spaces will be provided along Villa Avenue for a net
gain of approximately 55 public parking spaces.
Summary of Recommendations
As part of the study, recommendations were developed to increase utilization of the public parking
supply, mitigate areas where the availability of public parking is constrained, enhance valet
parking operations, and utilize newer parking technologies for enforcement and payment.
• Enhance Marketing and Wayfinding. Recommendations intended to better market the
public parking facilities and provide directional guidance to reach the facilities include (1)
development of a downtown parking map to be publicized through multiple media
platforms, as well as on Google and Apple Maps and (2) development and installation of a
comprehensive wayfinding signage system including directional parking signs, lot
identifications signs, and parking trailblazing signs.
Villa Avenue Downtown Parking Study
Villa Park, Illinois 48
Page 68 of 146
• Better Utilization of Park Boulevard Parking and Public Lot. Recommendations include
(1) providing a pedestrian connection from the spaces on the north side of Park Boulevard
just west of Villa Avenue to the Illinois Prairie Path , (2) installing gateway features at
entryways to the public parking lots such as overhead signs, lot identification signs, and/or
landscaping, (3) developing visible pedestrian pass-through routes to the Illinois Prairie
Path and Central Boulevard via pavement/sidewalk markings and signage, and (4)
improving pedestrian accessibility by providing a sidewalk segment along the north side
of the parking spaces connecting with the recommended connection to the Illinois Prairie
Path.
• Better Utilization of On-street Parking during Evenings and Weekends. Recommendations
include removing the existing parking restriction or reducing the three-hour restriction to
be from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. in order to provide more unrestricted parking when the
restaurants in the area begin to experience their peak operation.
• Elimination of Parking Requirements for Non-Residential Uses with MX Districts.
Recommendations intended to allow for the greatest amount of usage of existing parking
facilities and provide for redevelopment opportunities that will not be burdened with
required parking minimums while existing parking spaces remain empty. This elimination
of non-residential minimums would not be imposed should a project site desires to provide
onsite parking for their own internal needs.
• New Parking Inventory. It is recommended that the additional parking spaces to be
provided within the Lions Recreational Center be made available to the general public,
especially at nighttime, to ensure that adequate public parking is provided for all of the
businesses within the downtown area. As additional public parking opportunities are
developed, this additional supply should be taken advantage of to eliminate the burden on
private lot developments.
