(50 ILCS 845/5-10) Sec. 5-10. Minimum automobile parking requirements prohibited. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5-15, a unit of local government may not impose or enforce any minimum automobile parking requirements on a development project if the project is located within one-half mile of a public transportation hub or one-eighth mile of a public transportation corridor.

(50 ILCS 845/5-15) Sec. 5-15. Exceptions and limitations to prohibited minimum automobile parking requirements.

A unit of local government may not require voluntarily provided parking to be provided free of charge. (b) Section 5-10 does not apply to minimum automobile parking requirements if the requirements conflict with a contractual agreement or approved site plan with the unit of local government that was executed or approved on or before the effective date of this Act. However, Section 5-10 applies to an amendment or extension to the contractual agreement or approved site plan if the amendment or extension increases automobile parking requirements. (c) A development project may voluntarily build additional parking that is not shared with the public. (d) Nothing in this Act shall be interpreted to prevent a unit of local government from regulating access to on-street parking. (e) Nothing in this Act prevents a unit of local government from enacting or enforcing local laws that establish a maximum parking requirement.
