Existing Temporary Use Regulations 2. Community Development Committee meeting minutes dated May 18, 2010; 3. Community Development Committee meeting minutes dated August 24, 2010; BACKGROUND: The Committee discussed the regulation of temporary uses in 2010 (minutes attached). In 2011 42 temporary use permits were issued, 45 in 2012 and approximately 47 in 2013. The current temporary use provisions in the city's zoning ordinance permit temporary uses of land in any zoning district by the issuance of a temporary use permit by the zoning administrator and all temporary use permits are required to be presented to the City Council for review. Currently, the zoning ordinance defines temporary uses as follows: A Principal or Accessory Use that is established for a period of less than one year and is discontinued within that time period. Staff would like to revisit this issue for a few reasons including: 1. The overwhelming majority of temporary use permits are approved as part of the consent agenda and never discussed; 2. Many temporary use permits are annual requests and never change substantially; 3. There is a time delay in processing the request for temporary use permits due to the requirement each must be placed on a City Council agenda; 4. In an effort to continue to be more customer-service/business-friendly and expedite processing of applications; l.11y Ul 1V11;r1Cili_y Community and Economic Development Department 333 S Green Street Second Floor -McHenry Municipal Center McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 ced@ci.mchenry.il.us www.ci.mchenry.il.us 5. Most requests/events which require a temporary use permit are submitted last minute and do not allow staff sufficient time to place on a City Council agenda. In the past, staff has notified the City Council those which were "administratively" approved due to the time constraint involved and cannot be placed on a Council agenda prior to the event taking place; 6. Many temporary use permits are issued for events which generally are normal activities conducted as part of the principal use on the property and make the requirement for a temporary use permit redundant, 7. If temporary uses are held in City parks -a temporary use permit, for zoning purposes is not required. Typically, this is addressed by requiring a special use permit for park use; 8. Staff would like some administrative authority to approve certain temporary use permits which are minor in nature, 9. This issue is similar in nature to allowing signs in the right-of-way for not -for -profit organizations, if certain criteria are met. At the last Committee meeting, the Committee directed staff to present amendments to the full City Council which would not require applications for signage in the right-of-way to be presented to the City Council if the all the criteria outlined in the zoning ordinance are met; 10. If an event is proposed which is not open to the public staff generally does not require a temporary use permit but language to this effect should be included in the ordinance; 11. More definitive standards/guidelines need to be established for when a temporary use permit is required to ensure consistency and equity. ANALYSIS: Staff has researched this issue extensively, and unfortunately there's no full -proof method of dealing with these types of request and inevitably they are not exclusively black and white; therefore some discretion is required but if there are standards in place this "discretionary" authority can be minimized. Staff believes the best way to address the regulation of temporary uses is to classify them into one of two categories -major and minor. Minor temporary uses would allow the zoning administrator, city staff, to issue the permit administratively without specific City Council authorization, whereas major temporary uses would require City Council consideration. Similar to home occupations, instead of coming up with an exhaustive list of what is/what is not permitted staff believes temporary uses should also be measured against a set of performance standards to determine whether they should be administratively approved or considered by the City Council. 2 y Following are proposed amendments: Community and Economic Development Department 333 S Green Street Second Floor -McHenry Municipal Center McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 ced@ci.mchenrv.il.us www.ci.mchenry.il.us Addition of the following language: "The following are excluded from the requirement of obtaining a temporary use permit: private, non-commercial events on the sponsor's property, such as home owners' associations picnics at a private park, corporate picnics on a corporate campus/property, private weddings at a private residence or private subdivision clubhouse." The following temporary use permits require consideration, review and prior approval by the City Council if one or more of the applicable criteria are met: Major Temporary Use -a temporary use which meets at least one of the following criteria*: • Exceeds seven consecutive calendar days in length, including setup and take -down (set- up and take -down includes erecting/removing tents, lighting, fencing, merchandise specifically associated with the temporary use being proposed); • Use is not permitted by right in the zoning district in which its proposed and is not consistent with activities typically associated with the existing principal land use on the property being proposed; • Any use proposed which also involves any type of sign variance request, • Any use proposed which cannot comply with the outdoor lighting regulations or performance standards for noise as outline in the zoning ordinance. • Use is proposed on a property where the existing principal use is non -conforming use; • Use may not exceed seven consecutive calendar days but is proposed more than one time/calendar year -either on the same application or multiple applications submitted within the same calendar year; • Use proposed is not compliant with all other applicable City ordinances, rules and regulations. *The only exceptions staff is proposing which may be considered major temporary uses in accordance with the criteria outlined above, but staff would like the ability to approve administratively, without City Council consideration, are the six uses already listed in the temporary use section of the zoning ordinance if all applicable criteria identified are met. If one or more of these criteria cannot be met, these requests would be brought before the City Council for consideration. These include: Carnivals and Circuses, Outside Display of Landscaping Material, Sale of Christmas trees, Temporary Roadside Display and Sale of Farm Produce, Landscaping Material, or Other Related Merchandise, Downtown or Shopping Center Sidewalk Sales and Trailers for the Temporary Storage of Merchandise. Additionally, any event held in a City park would not require a temporary use permit. As previously sated these events are brought to the City Council for consideration as special use permits as park events. 3 l.11y Ul 1r11 IICIII y Minor Temporary Uses Community and Economic Development Department 333 S Green Street Second Floor -McHenry Municipal Center McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 ced@ci.mchenry.il.us www.ci.mchenry.il.us • No more than seven consecutive calendar days in length, including setup and take- down; • Use is permitted by right in the zoning district in which it's proposed; ® Use is consistent with activities typically associated with the existing principal land use on the property being proposed; • Use is proposed on a property where the existing principal use is conforming; • Use is only proposed for one time/calendar year; • All applicable permits are obtained including but not limited to any food service permit required from the McHenry County Department of Health; • Any temporary use previously approved by the City Council, as part of another agreement, such as: already requires trailers for new home construction. • Any use which requires a City license or permit and normally where City Council approval is not typically required, such as: peddlers adjacent to the Riverwalk, solicitors compliant with terms in the Solicitors and Peddlers ordinance, ice cream vendors, etc. Direct staff to proceed with proposed amendments to the Planning and Zoning C for consideration at a public hearing. l.11y Ul 1r1t IICllfy Existin K.

He noted that there are provisions included about filing an application, review and also specific conditions for certain types of temporary uses such as: Carnivals and circuses; Outside display and sale of landscaping materials; Sale of Christmas trees; Temporary roadside display; Sale of produce or other merchandise; Downtown or shopping center sidewalk sales; and Trailers for temporary storage of merchandise. Deputy City Administrator Martin stated historically in the City implementation and enforcement of temporary uses has been somewhat inconsistent. Several years ago temporary use requests began coming to Council for consideration of approval, approval with conditions or denial. However, other temporary uses were and are currently issued administratively, such as: Christmas tree lot sales; Sale of landscaping material; and Temporary use permits to allow the use of trailers for temporary storage of merchandise (commonly used by retailers during the holiday season). Staff has recently been dealing with the issue of temporary uses for events being held at churches and hotels (i.e.; renting out space for outside garage sales and use of hotel space for collectible displays and sales). Staff is seeking clarification regarding temporary use so that regulations can be enforced consistently. Staff suggested that there be two categories. The first category of temporary uses would allow the zoning administrator, City staff, to issue a permit administratively without specific Council authorization and the second category of temporary 7 or ui ivicneury Community and Economic Development Department 333 S Green Street Second Floor -McHenry Municipal Center McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 ced@ci.mchenrv.il.us www.ci.mchenrv.il.us uses would require Council consideration and authorization. Determination regarding which process would be used would be based primarily on the temporary use requested as it relates to the zoning of the property and the principal use of the property on which it is proposed. Deputy City Administrator Martin noted that currently, 120-days is the maximum time period permitted for any temporary use listed in the City's zoning ordinance. Temporary use permits are a function of zoning and land use; therefore the criteria on which their issuance is based and the process by which they are considered should be consistent with zoning law and procedures. Chairman Alderman Condon opined that perhaps the ordinance should be amended so all temporary uses go through Council. She stated that Staff should not be put in a position of making a determination regarding a temporary use. Alderman Santi suggested temporary uses be brought to Council, but Staff should make a determination whether the item is on the Consent Agenda or separate agenda item. Deputy City Administrator Martin suggested that Staff prepare a more detailed application in order to provide Council with additional information regarding the request. He suggested addressing signage issues on the application. Following a brief discussion, Chairman Alderman Condon requested Staff prepare a new application for temporary use, to include signage. The revised application is to be brought back before the Community Development Committee for review at a future meeting. 0 l.11y V! 1r11 nCI[I of Community and Economic Development Department 333 S Green Street Second Floor -McHenry Municipal Center McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 ced C� ci . mche n ry. i I . us www.ci.mchenry.il.us COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING Tuesday, August 24, 2010 Aldermen's Conference Room, 7 p.m. Continued Discussion: Temporary Uses Deputy City Administrator Martin stated the committee at its May meeting discussed at length proposed amendments to the temporary use permit regulations in the City's Zoning Ordinance.

Community Development Committee meeting minutes dated August 16, 2005. 2. Community Development Committee meeting minutes dated October 18, 2005. BACKGROUND : As part of the Community and Economic Development Department's ongoing review of City ordinances staff would like to revisit the requirements for landscaping The landscaping and screening or was comprehensively reviewed in and screening. 2005 and several changes were made at that time including: requiring landscaping for new signage, increasing parking screening strip width requirement from five feet to ten feet, requiring foundation -base plantings, etc. Since that time and through the use and implementation of the ordinance a couple of areas staff believes need to be addressed/evaluated again are parking lot screening and screening of mechanical units. Much of this is due to practical enforcement issues staff has encountered, as well as clarifying existing language detailing what is specifically required and when. ANALYSIS: Below are the existing sections of the ordinance, followed by the proposed amendments and reasoning for proposing the change. 2 Community and Economic Development Department 333 S Green Street Second Floor -McHenry Municipal Center McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 ced@ci.mchenry.il.us www.ci.mchenry.il.us Recommended changes to: Section VIII. Landscaping & Screening, City of McHenry Zonin Ordinance Current Code: Section VIII A. Purpose The purpose of the requirements in this section is to provide for landscaping and screening of parking and other outdoor areas that will: 1. protect residential environments from effects of more intensive adjacent uses, 2. protect users of parking areas from excessive wind, glare, and temperature extremes, 3. reduce the adverse effects on public streets and adjacent properties of noise, blowing dust and debris, and motor vehicle headlight glare, 4. discourage unsafe access to and circulation within off-street parking areas, 5. contribute to improved community appearance and maintenance of property values, 6. promote environmental conservation, and 7. be functional with deciduous trees providing natural shading for windows in the summer and evergreen trees provided year round screening and protection from the winter wind. Proposed Changes: aJ Add a number eight: "Screening requirements of this section do not apply to single family residences or multi family residences that have individual garages and driveways and parking areas with less than 10-spaces." Reasoning: This change is needed to provide clarity. As currently written, screening would need to be required for air conditioning units, swimming pool equipment, gas meters, electric meters, generators, etc. on all one and two-family ap.. artment buildings dwelling unit lots, as well as at small 3 Current Code: Section V1112. Parking Screenin Stri Community and Economic Development Department 333 S Green Street Second Floor -McHenry Municipal Center McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 ced@ci.mchenry.il.us www.ci.mchenry.il.us A 10 foot landscaped strip which shall consist of densely clustered groups of varying species and size of shrubs and trees, and berming, which may include a solid wall or fence all which shall not exceed 4 feet in height at installation or maturity and shall not be less than 3 feet in height or minimum as determined by the Zoning Administrator to affectively provide screening except for trees which must maintain a minimum 7 foot trimmed canopy off the ground as to not obstruct views into and out of the site. This shall be located around the perimeter of the parking lot to screen vehicles and vehicle headlights from adjacent public ways. The clustering of the groups of plants shall allow for plowing and snow storage. A solid row of hedges, one type of plant or solely a solid wall shall I is determined by the Zoning Administrator that this would be the onl not be permitted unless y way to affectively screen vehicle headlights. The parking screening strip is required for all off-street parking lots containing more than 5 parking spaces and any vehicle or equipment storage lots or vehicle or equipment sales lots. Proposed Changes: • Insert: "All shrubs used for parking screening shall be non -deciduous, provide year round screening and be chemical resistant." • Delete: "five -parking spaces" and insert "ten -parking spaces" • Delete: "or vehicle or equipment sales lots." Reasoning: Parking screening strips need to be effective all times of the year. Typically, landscape contractors like to use deciduous bushes (bushes that lose their leaves in the fall) such as hedge rows leaving the parking screening strips ineffective for several months out of the year. The requirement for parking screening over five parking spaces places an undue burden on property owners that have relatively small businesses and properties (i.e. offices starting at 1,400 sq. ft., restaurants 200 sq. ft. and retail stores over 1,100 sq. ft). The screening limits the Community and Economic Development Department 333 S Green Street Second Floor -McHenry Municipal Center McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 ced@ci.mchenry.il.us www.ci.mchenrv.il.us much -needed marketing visibility for smaller buildings and businesses and additional screening can have a negative impact on the property and its development/redevelopment. Vehicle and equipment sales lots are usually classified as automobile dealerships which require a conditional use permit. These types of businesses rely heavily on the visibility of the product however if screening is deemed appropriate for specific areas this can be addressed during the conditional use permit review/public hearing process and be included as a condition of approval. Current Code: 4. b. Mechanical E uipment All mechanical equipment on site shall be screened, this includes; heating, ventilation, conditioning, refrigeration equipment, plumbing lines, ductwork, transformers, satellite dishes, smoke exhaust fans, service entry section and similar utility panel boxes. Proposed Changes: • Insert "(larger than one meter in diameter)" following satellite dishes. • Delete "service entry section and similar utility panel boxes". • Insert "All mechanical equipment on site shall be screened from public view as follows: 1) Front and corner side yards. From the sidewalk across the street (if one exists) or the property line across the street at a point six feet above ground level. (See the attached diagram -Exhibit "A") 2) Interior side and rear yard. From the property line at a point six feet above ground level. (See the attached diagram -Exhibit "A"). Reasoning: The existing zoning ordinance provides little direction as to where or how screening is to be provided. It would be cost prohibitive and unreasonable to require property owners to totally screen mechanical equipment from all directions, on all sides and at all distances. The only effective way to accomplish this would be to require parapet or mansard walls to be constructed on all sides of the building no less than the height of the equipment and in some cases higher than the equipment itself, depending upon the nearby ground elevations. The cost associated with constructing this type of screening can grow exponentially as the height of the wall increases above the rooftop. Structural modifications are often required Community and Economic Development Department 333 S Green Street Second Floor -McHenry Municipal Center McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 ced@ci.mchenry.il.us www.ci.mchenry.il.us because of the increased in weight, increased wind loads and exposure and additional snow loads caused by drifting. In some cases this type of screening also has a negative impact on how effectively the ventilation and exhaust systems operate. Building height can also come into question. Chapter 7 Article XIII of the Municipal Code only requires permits for parabolic dishes that are larger than one -meter in size. The propo between the Zoning Ordinance and Municipal Code. or satellite sed change would provide consistency Requiring overhead service entries and panel boxes to be screened can create several life safety issues. The branches from trees and tall bushes can interfere with wires causing damage to the insulation as well as pulling down the wires if a branch falls. Screening can also interfere with maintenance and repair of equipment if not maintained a safe distance back from the face of the panel. Screening can also contribute to delays in disconnecting utilities in the event of an emergency. Current Code: Section Vlll, C. A. 7 A Landscape Plan shall be filed with an application for: 1.

He noted that trees and shrubs provide shading and screening functions, while enhancing the aesthetic value of a site. Director Napolitano informed the Committee that currently the City requires landscaping on development sites in the following forms: • Parking Screening Strips; • Residential Screening Strips; and • Parking Lot Islands. Staff opined that in addition shouId be included: • Berming; • Width of Screening Strips; • Screening for Parking Lots; and • Acceptable Plantings.

Alderman Wimmer opined he is in favor of strict and defined regulation regarding landscape requirements for new developments. It was suggested Community Development Staff coordinate with the on -staff Arborist Tom Schmidt, to facilitate the creation of a list of standards for desired species of trees and shrubs allowed in a right-of-way.

The additional area would allow a variety of landscape material to be sufficiently placed in the new strip making room for some larger trees and giving the developer the ability to use both berms and landscape clusters to screen an area. • Screening for Parking Lots; o The current code requires a continuous row of shrubs be planted along the edge of a parking lot, providing a minimum of 50% opacity. Staff recommends increasing this strip area to 104eet in width, to permit a smaller cluster of a variety of species and size of shrubs be used, with the ability to use berms. Clustering of shrubs would allow for adequate screening of vehicles, but also provide interest at the site. Staff would review the Landscape Plan to ensure that a variety of plant material is used and that density and height is adequate. • Acceptable Plantings; o The current list of acceptable plantings for right-of-way is small. Staff proposes adopting a list of plants for each of the following categories: screening, ornamental, evergreen, ground cover and right-of-way.

Also, Staff recommends requiring building sites provide a minimum of 3" to 4" caliper trees and 12 shrubs, or ground cover per 1004eet of frontage. The change would require larger plant material and allow grouping around the site. This would be in addition to any screening strip requirement. • Landscaping Around Signs. o A minimum square footage of landscape area shall be required per square footage of sign area. Alderman Glab opined his support of better landscape maintenance in parking lots. He stated that landscaping issues could be addressed with appropriate vegetation. Assistant to the City Administrator Martin stated Staff is encouraging developers to use diversity in landscaping. 11 �,i�y ui ivicnrury Community and Economic Development Department 333 S Green Street Second Floor -McHenry Municipal Center McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 ced Cc�ci. mche n ry. i I . us www.ci.mchenry.il.us TO: Community Development Committee FOR: March 10, 2014 Community Development Committee Meeting FROM: Douglas Martin, Deputy City Administrator RE: Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning Comprehensive Plan and Ordinance Assessment and Proposed Completion of a Unified Development Ordinance ATT: 1.

Examples of some of which include: Amendments to Zoning Ordinance, Municipal Code and Subdivision Control and Development Ordinance Adopted in the past few years • Home occupations; • Outside display of merchandise; • Amendments to the fence and sign ordinances; • Provisions for assembly and institutional uses, requirement for notices, • Consolidation of pavement requirements for parking lots; • Animals and fowl; legal descriptions in public Community and Economic Development Department �.i�y ui ivicnrnry 333 S Green Street Second Floor -McHenry Municipal Center McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 ced@ci.mchenry.il.us www.ci.mchenry.il.us • Minor commercial building permit and plan review fees; • Swimming pools; • Grease trap/interceptor ordinance; • Use of residential generators; • Commercial and industrial paving requirements; • Commercial and recreational vehicle parking; • Temporary refuse and storage containers and carports; • Displaying vehicles on the grass at automobile dealers; • Amendments to the weeds and noxious growth ordinance; • Building code updates; • Additional permit requirements; • Electrical licensing; • Garage sales; • Flea markets; • Solicitors and peddlers. Chicago Metropolitan A�encv for Planning Comprehensive Plan and Ordinance Assessment Last year the City of McHenry, in conjunction with the Villages of Prairie Grove and Oakwood Hills and City of Crystal Lake, along with assistance from the Silver Creek/Slezpy Hollow Watershed Group jointly applied for a technical assistance grant from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), the regional planning organization for the seven collar counties in Northeastern Illinois created by the state legislature several decades ago, to complete a review and analysis of each community's comprehensive pIan and development -related ordinances. The review centered on how these documents could be improved to address water quality, stormwater runoff and other areas associated with natural resource protection and enhancement. Copies of the completed report were distributed to the City Council, Planning and Zoning Commission and city staff. The CMAP report suggests many different ways the City of McHenry's comprehensive plan and development -related ordinances could be improved and provides model ordinance suggestions from other communities across the region. Staff believes many of the amendments are definitely worth pursuing and others which may be desirable but because of practical or other reasons should not be adopted. 2 L,��y ui lvicneury Unified Development Ordinance Community and Economic Development Department 333 S Green Street Second Floor -McHenry Municipal Center McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 ced@ci.mchenry.il.us www.ci.mchenry.il.us To build upon and pursue some of the recommendations in this report and for several other reasons which will be expanded upon further staff would like to propose a rather significant undertaking, which would involve a significant time commitment from the Committee but, in staff s opinion, is a worthwhile project. This project is the creation of a unified development ordinance, which is simply one ordinance created by merging the zoning, subdivision control and development and stormwater ordinance, as well as all other land development regulations, some of which are in the City's municipal code, into one cohesive document. Attached is the preamble to the City of Crystal Lake unified development ordinance which does a decent job explaining what is included in this comprehensive regulatory document. Interestingly, the City of Crystal Lake did hire a consultant to complete their unified development ordinance however city staff actually ended -up completing the ordinance without the assistance of the consultant. Staff believes this is an appropriate time to pursue this project for the following reasons: • Provides staff, Community Development Committee, City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission an opportunity to review long-term goals and issues which need to need to be addressed moving forward, as they relate to land development; • McHenry County is currently rewriting their entire stormwater ordinance, which the City will be required to adopt upon its completion (estimated to be adopted in fall 2014); • The zoning ordinance currently utilized by the City was adopted in 1986 but has been updated several times since however each time any ordinance is updated there is an increasing risk of contradicting existing provisions and/or adopting redundant regulations; • The City's subdivision control and development ordinance was adopted but not comprehensively reviewed and/or updated since its adoption in 2004; • The issue of variance requests and how they are dealt with, in terms of public notice requirements, etc. is different dependent upon from which ordinance the variance is being sought; • One unified ordinance would certainly be more user-friendly; • Many of the amendments proposed in the CMAP Report could be incorporated into a new ordinance of this type; • Development right now is slow and is anticipated to remain slow for the foreseeable future and most likely the rate of growth and development seen between 2003 and 2006 will not be duplicated for many years if ever. 3 �.i�y ui ivicnCury Community and Economic Development Department 333 S Green Street Second Floor -McHenry Municipal Center McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 ced@ci.mchenrv.il.us www.ci.mchenry.il.us ANALYSIS: Typically, many communities hire a consultant to undertake a project of this magnitude however the cost for this could range anywhere from $150-200,000. Staff believes this can be done without hiring a consultant with the understanding there would be additional attorney fees and engineering fees involved during the process. Staff is proposing an atypical approach which would save the City a lot of money, as opposed to bringing in a consultant to do the work. In staff's opinion, consultants are certainly valuable but ultimately, an ordinance such as the one being proposed has to focus on the specific goals, preferences and desires of the individual community the ordinance is being written for. Further, even if a consultant was hired, there would still be significant staff and Committee time required to review everything put together by the consultant. In this instance and not to oversimplify the matter but staff is recommending eliminating the "middle man". Staff has researched unified development ordinances extensively and believes the City could essentially model its ordinance around a unified development ordinances) done by other communities. Attached are several examples of tables of contents taken directly from unified development ordinances from McHenry County, as well as other areas around the country. Some are more detailed and intense but essentially all the basic regulations which are typically included in any unified development ordinance remain fairly consistent. It should be noted that many of the amendments previously mentioned at the beginning of this supplement, which the Committee, Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council have already updated could be incorporated into a new ordinance of this type. Additionally, staff would recommend eliminating all stormwater-related regulations the City has currently, in its municipal code and subdivision control and development ordinance, and incorporate the new countywide ordinance. The City is required to adopt the countywide stormwater ordinance as a minimum standard and since the City really hasn't recently amended its stormwater regulations the new countywide ordinance will include all the best practices for stormwater management. Major Chapters in Proposed Unified Development Ordinance Initially, at a minimum, staff is proposing including the following chapters as part of this one document. Currently, these regulations are in either the municipal code, zoning ordinance or the subdivision control and development ordinance: • General Provisions; • Definitions; • Use Districts; • General Development Standards (signs, parking, landscaping and screening, lighting and fences); �.,i�y vi ivicnrury Community and Economic Development Department 333 S Green Street Second Floor -McHenry Municipal Center McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 ced@ci.mchenry.il.us www.ci.mchenrv.il.us • Subdivision and Site Plan Standards (infrastructure, roadways, water, wastewater, electric, gas, land disturbance activities -stripping, clearing, grading, etc.); • Natural Resource Protection (tree preservation, floodplain, wetland, floodplain, stormwater management, riparian buffers, erosion and sedimentation control, conservation design, • Administration and Enforcement; • Nonconformities. • Review existing ordinances, plans mission, vision and long-term strategies; Proposed Process of Developing Unified Development Ordinance (Seven Step Process As previously stated the development of this type of ordinance is not a simple task and will require a large time investment by the Committee. Staff is proposing the following process, which includes seven steps to accomplish this task. These can certainly be amended, combined and/or modified in any way after further discussion and consideration by the Committee. • Formulate timeline for ordinance development including specific benchmarks at different internals to ensure adequate progress is being made. This will also be critical in completion of Step Four and should include a tentative meeting schedule over the next several months to ensure momentum is not lost. This will entail additional meetings than those already adopted by the Committee at the beginning of this year (Step One); • Review goals and major areas of concern to address -what do you li{ce/disli!<e about current ordinances and what are the primary issues a new ordinance should address/include in order to be effective, be user-friendly or assist in achieving the long-term vision and goals of the City? This ordinance will be the regulatory tool utilized in pursuing the goals and objectives included in the City's comprehensive plan and should be consistent with what is included in that plan, and it will be crucial to develop strategies to address concerns and meet the goals -how will the new ordinance accomplish this? (Step Two); • Frame a citizen participation and engagement element identifying at what points public input would be advantageous, for periodic review of ordinance and draft ordinance once it's finished, including what citizen participation techniques to utilize, i.e.: surveys (mail/on-line (Survey Monkey), press release, social medial, focus groups, open house, etc. This should also include ajoint-meeting with all the members of the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to an official public hearing being held on the entire draft ordinance. This will 5 �.,��y ui ivicnenry Community and Economic Development Department 333 S Green Street Second Floor -McHenry Municipal Center McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 ced@ci.mchenry.il.us www.ci.mchenry.il.us assist in ensuring the Planning and Zoning Commission is comfortable and has no major concerns prior to holding a public hearing. The best and most effective way to ensure a process such as this is smooth, minimizes opposition, addresses concerns of all who will be utilizing the document, as well as special interest groups, is not overly burdensome, is user-friendly, includes all appropriate language and accomplishes the long-term goals of the community and is seen and more importantly perceived by the general public as a completely transparent process is to continually educate and keep informed, involve and encourage active participation all multiple points throughout the process from all parties (stakeholders) impacted. It would not be advantageous at all to go through this process in a vacuum, complete the entire document and then initiate some form of public participation. (At this point staff would recommend consulting with the City attorney to ensure all legal requirements are met with regards to process, public participation, legal notifications and compliance with State of Illinois statutes -specifically regarding zoning and subdivision enabling legislation which would govern the development of this type of ordinance (Step Three); • Write, review and receive comments, concerns, questions, etc. following the completion of each chapter (Involvement and professional consultation with the City engineer will be required, specifically when the chapters outlining subdivision, site planning standards and natural resource -related ordinance development are written to ensure most up-to-date best engineering practices are incorporated) (Step Four); • Review and solicit feedback and comments following completion of entire draft ordinance and submit to City attorney for comprehensive legal review (this could also be done on an individual chapter basis however staffs concern with that would be the City attorney would ultimately have to review the entire document as a whole upon completion to analyze the relationship and identify potential problems, conflicts, contradictions which may exist in multiple chapters) (Step Five); • Hold public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission (Step SixJ; • Consideration and adoption of completed ordinance by City Council (Step Seven). �.,i�y ui ivicnrnry Moving Forward Community and Economic Development Department 333 S Green Street Second Floor -McHenry Municipal Center McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 ced@ci.mchenry.il.us www.ci.mchenry.il.us If the Committee believes this is a worthwhile project, at the March 10 meeting its staffs intention to discuss the establishment of an ad hoc -style committee to oversee the completion of this project. Staff believes an ad hoc committee should consist of the three members of the Community Development Committee, two members of the Planning and Zoning Commission, one-two additional staff members and two additional public participations, which could include any of the following: developers/builders, architects, environmental leaders, realtors, general member of the public with no professionally -related affiliation (i.e. average homeowner), etc. Ideally, this committee would consist of no more than &9 members and be diverse representing multiple interests. Staff can provide specific suggestions of potential individuals to consider. It cannot be overstated this will be a significant undertaking for the Committee and require a greater time commitment than originally anticipated when the Committee schedule was adopted for 2014. Staff believes however for the reasons previously stated and given the effectiveness and accomplishments of the Committee over the past several years it is something that can certainly be accomplished. While staff is not proposing to hire a consultant there will be some outside consulting expenditures necessary to complete this project as previously outlined in this supplement, primarily for legal and engineering review. It's staffs intent to do the majority of the ordinance research and writing in-house, with the hope of potentially applying for a CMAP technical assistance grant to help with the public participation/citizen engagement portion of the project. Staff is seeking input, consensus and direction from the Committee on the proposal outlined in this supplement of pursuing completion of a unified development ordinance, as well as the initial outline of what would be included in this proposed ordinance and generally the process outlined in order to accomplish this goal in a timely and efficient manner. 7 nified -Development r Section 100- I 0 Title Section 100-30 Authority 2 Section 100-40 jurisdiction 2 Section 100-50 Application of Ordinance 2 Section 100-60 Relationship to Existing Ordinances 3 Section 100-70 Effective Date 3 Section 1 00-801 Amendments 4 Section 100-90 Duties of the Department of Planning and Development 4 Section 100-100 Fees 6 Section 100- 110 Severability 6 Section 110-10 Rules of Interpretation 7 Section 1 10-20 Rules of Precedence 7 Section 1 10-30 Abbreviations 8 Section I I 0-50 Definitions by Category/Chapter 35 Section 120- I 0 Violations of the Unified Development Ordinance 40 Section 120-20 Inspection and Right of Entry 40 Section 120-30 Notice ofViolation 41 Section 120-40 Stop Work Orders 41 Section 120-50 Suspensions, Revocations, or Modifications Section 120-60 Other Enforcement and Penalties Section 120-70 Issuance of Citations or Summons to Court; Penalties forViolations 42 Section 120-80 Other Remedies: and Penalties 43 Section 120-90 Administrative Appeal and judicial Review 43 Section 120-100 Liability 43 A.= n n nco c. .,;_.;. t Section 200- I 0 Purpose Section 200-20 Authority I Section 200-30 Incorporation of Official Zoning Map Section 200-40 Division `of County, into Zoning Districts I Section 200-50 Interpretation of Zoning District Boundaries Section 200-60 Relationship to Comprehensive Plan Section 200-70 Incorporation of UDO Design Guidelines Section 200-80 Incorporation of Gwinnett County Architectural Design Standards 2 3 3 Section 200-90 Zoning Certification 3 Section 200-100 Zoning Classification 'of De -Annexed Property 3 Section 210-20 R-LL Single -Family Residence Large Lot District 4 Section 2`10-30 R.100 Single -Family Residence District 5 Section 210-40 R-75 Single -Family Residence District 5 Section 210-50 OSC Open Space Conservation District 6 Section 210-60 R-60 Single -Family Residence District 12 Section 210-70 MH Manufactured Housing 13 Section 210-80 TNDTraditional Neighborhood Development District 14 Section 210-90 R-SR Senior Oriented Residence District 20 Section 2 10- 100 R-TH Residence Townhouse District 24 Section 2 10- 110 RM- 13 Multifarniay Residence District:. 26 Section 210.120 RM-24 Multifamily Residence District Section 2 I 0-130 HRR High -Rise Residence District Section 2 10- 140 O-R Office -Residence District 27 Section 2 ! 0-150 O-1 :Office -Institutional District 3 Section 2I 0-180 C-3 Highway Business District 33 Section 2 10- 190 Mixed -Use Districts, Introduction 34 X ...__ ar e m eld ,,.. r RPM ^00 � Section 210-200 MU-N Neighborhood Mixed -Use District Section 210-210 MU-C Community Mixed -Use District Section 210-220 MU-R Regional Mixed -Use District Section I 0-225 Minimum Design Standards of Mixed -Use Districts 34 34 35 Section 2 I 0-230 M- I Light Industry District 43 Section 210-240 M-2 Heavy Industry District 44 Section 220-10 Interpretation and Applicability of Overlay Districts 45 Section 220-20 Big Haynes Creek- Alcovy Watershed Protection Overlay District 45 Section 220-30 Activity Center/Corridor Overlay District 46 Section 230-20 Application of Dimensional Standards 5 Section 230-30 Building/Structure Height Measurements and Exceptions 53 Section 230-40 Only One Principal Building or Use on a Lot 53 Section 230-50 Minimum Space Between Dwelling Units 53 Section 230-60 Permitted Encroachments upon Required Setbacks Section 230J0 Road Frontage Section 230-80 Fences and Walls 54 54 Section 230-100 Table of Permitted and Special 1....1 es 55 Section 230-120 Accessory Building, Structure and Use Standards 65 Section 230-130 Supplemental Use Standards 66 am I in -""ry� < K ,.
