Absent: Bremer. Also in attendance were City Planner Cody Sheriff and Economic Development Coordinator Wolf. Chairwoman Rockweiler opened the public comment portion of the meeting at 7:00 p.m. There was nobody in attendance who wished to address the Commission with public comment. Approval of Minutes: Consideration of June 30, 2021 special Meeting Minutes as presented. Motion by Lehman and seconded by Smale for approval. Roll Call: Vote: 5-ayes: Commissioners Lehman, Rockweiler, Smale, Sobotta and Walsh. 0- nay; 1-abstained: Davis; 1-absent: Bremer. Motion Carried. File No. Z-993 Home of the Sparrow Inc Conditional Use Permit for an Institutional Use for the continued operation of a transitional living shelter and Zoning Variations to minimum lot width,parking lot perimeter landscaping, interior side yard setback, and any other zoning relief necessary to accommodate the existing principal building and accessory structures. Chairwoman Rockweiler called the hearing to order at 7:05 p.m. regarding File No Z-993 a Conditional Use Permit for an Institutional Use for the continued operation of a transitional living shelter and Zoning Variations to minimum lot width,parking lot perimeter landscaping, interior side yard setback, and any other zoning relief necessary to accommodate the existing principal building and accessory structures at 2116 N. Ringwood Rd. Chairwoman Rockweiler confirmed all legal posting requirements have been met. Debbie DeGraw and Matthew Kostecki were sworn in and stated Home of the Sparrow operates a Transitional Shelter located at the subject property and has for 30 years since 1991. The shelter was previously located in McHenry County and was recently annexed into the City of McHenry. They are requesting a conditional use for the City of McHenry to operate the shelter within conforming use. City Planner Sheriff provided the Commission with the Staff Report regarding this file stating The City of McHenry and the petitioner successfully applied and received $120,000.00 in Community Development Block Grant (2019) funding for the extension of the water main along Ringwood Road. The goal of the project was to provide fire sprinklers to the site for the safety of the occupants served by Home of the Sparrow, upon recent annexation to the City of McHenry as part of the agreement for connecting to City Water services. Approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Zoning Variations to continue to operate as a transitional living shelter is the final step in the process. Staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the future land use map recommendation. Page 2 of 144 Planning and Zoning Commission September 15,2021 Page 2 Given the longevity of the operation, staff does not believe the continuation of the use would generate any adverse impacts on the surrounding property owners. Overall, staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies, stating approval of the petitioner's request would be supportive of the City's growth objectives and policies. City water services have been extended to service the site. Also, although many policies and objectives do not apply in this specific circumstance, staff believes approval of the request would be supportive of promoting responsible growth while providing a high quality of life to our residents. Transitional living shelters provide a much- needed form of housing for vulnerable populations. With not many transitional housing options currently available in McHenry County, staff believes approval of the request would be supportive of the broader idea of creating a mix of diverse housing options and services for the City's residents should those services be required. The petitioner is not proposing any changes to the site. The Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum lot width of 50-feet per dwelling unit in the RS-4 District for a combined total of 300 feet. The petitioner will need to receive approval of a zoning variation to allow a minimum lot width of 125 feet in lieu of the required 300 feet. The striped spaces on the north side of the property do not have perimeter landscaping. This is primarily related to existing site constraints of the property which does not reasonably allow perimeter landscaping at this location. The east side of the south parking lot is also missing perimeter landscaping; however, there are numerous decidious trees to the east that provide natural screening of the parking lot area. Staff is recommending that a condition of approval be added that the petitioner would be required to install parking lot perimeter landscaping should those trees be removed. The Ordinance requires a minimum of a 6-foot setback from the property line. Although the principal building complies,playground equipment appears to encroach within the setback. Staff has placed a general interior side yard setback provision within the request to accommodate all existing accessory structures on site. Planner Sheriff stated Staff is recommending a condition of approval be added regarding the variance for the south parking lot perimeter landscaping that the property owner shall be required to install parking lot perimeter landscaping should the deciduous trees east of the subject property be removed. Overall, the proposal appears to be in substantial conformance with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Development Policies. Given the longevity of the use, and the value our community receives for having close access to a transitional living shelter, Staff does not object to the petitioner's request subject to appropriate conditions. Planner Sherriff stated if the Planning & Zoning Commission agrees with staff s assessment then two motions are recommended, as presented in the Staff Report. Chairwoman Rockweiler invited questions and/or comments from the Commissioners. There were no questions from any of the Commissioners. Chairwoman Rockweiler stated the staff report was very clear in explaining the request. Page 3 of 144 Planning and Zoning Commission September 15,2021 Page 3 Chairwoman Rockweiler invited questions and/or comments from the Public. There were no comments from the public. Chairwoman Rockweiler closed the public comment portion of the hearing at 7:08 p.m. Motion by Walsh seconded by Smale with regard to File No. Z-993, to recommend approval of the petitioner's request for a Conditional Use Permit for an Institutional Use to operate a transitional living shelter on the subject property as outlined in the staff report, as presented, and by making said motion,we agree with staff's assessment that the approval criteria for Conditional Uses have been met as outlined in the Staff Report. Roll Call: Vote: 6-ayes: Davis, Lehman, Rockweiler, Smale, Sobotta and Walsh. 0-nays, 0- abstained, 1-absent: Bremer. Motion Carried. Motion by Smale seconded by Lehman with regard to File No. Z-993, to recommend approval of the petitioner's request for the following Zoning Variations: 1) to allow a minimum lot width of 125 in lieu of the required 300 feet; 2) to allow no parking lot perimeter landscaping along the north side of the northernmost parking lot and east side of the southernmost parking lot subject to the condition that the property owner shall be required to install parking lot perimeter landscaping as required by the Zoning Ordinance should the existing trees east of the parking lot be removed as determined by the Zoning Administrator or if the vacant lots east of the south parking lot are developed; 3) to allow an interior side yard setback of 2 feet in lieu of the required 6 feet for the existing playground equipment; and 4) any other zoning relief necessary to accommodate the existing principal building and accessory structures. AND by making said motion, we agree with staff s assessment as outlined in the staff report and that the approval criteria for Variances have been met. Roll Call: Vote: 6-ayes: Davis, Lehman, Rockweiler, Smale, Sobotta and Walsh. 0-nays, 0- abstained, 1-absent: Bremer. Motion Carried. Chairwoman Rockweiler closed the hearing regarding File No. Z-993 at 7:15 p.m. Staff Report: The next meeting is a special meeting on September September 29, 2021 and there are currently three applications on the agenda. Planner Sheriff stated the Fox River Corridor Plan is close to being finished and we are continuing to work on the Streetscape Plan. Planner Sheriff also stated he is currently working on forced annexations and several apartment complex petitions. Adjourn: Motion by Smale and seconded by Davis, all approved. Meeting adjourned at 7:20 p.m. Page 4 of 144 City of McHenry Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes September 29, 2021 Chairwoman Rockweiler called the September 29, 2021 special meeting of the City of McHenry Planning and Zoning Commission to order at 7:00 p.m. In attendance were the following: Bremer, Davis, Lehman, Rockweiler, Smale, Sobotta and Walsh. Absent: None. Also in attendance were City Planner Cody Sheriff, Community Development Director Polerecky, and Economic Development Coordinator Wolf. Chairwoman Rockweiler opened the public comment portion of the meeting at 7:00 p.m. There was nobody in attendance who wished to address the Commission with public comment. File No. Z-997 Jose Navarrete Use Variation to allow a Body Art Establishment In the C-5 Highway Commercial District Chairwoman Rockweiler called the hearing to order at 7:01 p.m. regarding File No Z-997 a Use Variation to allow a Body Art Establishment in the C-5 Highway Commercial District at the subject property, commonly known as 4801 W. Elm Street. Chairwoman Rockweiler confirmed all legal posting requirements have been met. Mr. Navarette was sworn in and stated he would like to open a tattoo shop in the retail space that has been vacant at the subject property for some time and he'd like to enrich the community with his higher end artwork. City Planner Sheriff provided the Commission with the Staff Report regarding this file stating Body Art Establishments (tattoo shops) are currently not an allowed use in any Zoning District in the City of McHenry. Staff will be proposing text amendments to change this to an allowed use in the C-4 Downtown Commercial District and C-5 Highway Commercial District later. The subject property is currently zoned C-5 Highway Commercial District and has remained vacant for several years. The subject property is surrounded by primarily commercial zoning and land use with adjoining single-family residential land use to the south. The primary concern is how the proposed use will interact with the adjoining properties. Body Art Establishments do not generate adverse traffic nor noise. Staff does not believe approval of the request will generate any adverse impacts. Overall, staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies, and if the Planning &Zoning Commission agrees with staff's assessment, then a motion is recommended for approval of a Use Variation to allow a Body Art Establishment in the C-5 Highway Commercial District as presented and outlined in the Staff Report. Chairwoman Rockweiler invited questions and/or comments from the Commissioners. Page 5 of 144 Planning and Zoning Commission September 29,2021 Special Meeting Page 2 Commissioner Walsh inquired as to the hours and days of week the establishment would be open. Mr. Navarrete stated he works for Aramark at his children's school so the hours will be by appointment only and will be evening hours only during the week. Chairwoman Rockweiler inquired how Mr. Navarrete plans to advertise. Mr. Navarrete responded he uses conventions and word of mouth. He added he has a following of clients who ask him to repair their artwork done by other artists and that word spreads. Commissioner Smale asked for confirmation that all required licensing and certifications are valid and current. Discussion ensued regarding what is required for body art establishments. Mr. Navarrete stated he has multiple awards and certifications and that he follows all standards with sanitation and cpr training required by the State and local health department. Planner Sheriff explained licensing is regulated by the state and local health departments. Commissioner Lehman asked if there will be outside signage. Mr. Navarrete stated he would be looking into simple window signage and knows he must follow all City signage requirements. There were no questions from Commissioners Sobotta, Bremer, or Davis. Chairwoman Rockweiler invited questions and/or comments from the Public. There were no comments from the public. Chairwoman Rockweiler closed the public comment portion of the hearing at 7:11 p.m. Motion by Bremer seconded by Smale with regard to File No. Z-997, to recommend approval of the petitioner's request for a Use Variance to allow a Body Art Establishment on the Subject Property as outlined in the Staff Report, as presented, and by making said motion,we agree with staff's assessment that the approval criteria for Use Variations have been met as outlined in the Staff Report. Roll Call: Vote: 7-ayes: Bremer, Davis, Lehman, Rockweiler, Smale, Sobotta and Walsh. 0-nays, 0-abstained, 0-absent. Motion Carried. Chairwoman Rockweiler closed the hearing regarding File No. Z-993 at 7:13 p.m. City of McHenry File No. Z-995 Zoning Text Amendments to §11-9-7—Table 2— Permitted and Conditional Uses in Commercial Districts. Chairwoman Rockweiler called the hearing to order at 7:20 p.m. regarding File No Z-995 a request for various text amendments to the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance. City Planner Sheriff provided the Commission with the Staff Report regarding this file stating Staff is proposing text amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to allow Body Art Establishments in the C-4 Downtown Commercial District and C-5 Highway Commercial District as a permitted Page 6 of 144 Planning and Zoning Commission September 29,2021 Special Meeting Page 3 use. Tables were presented indicating history of other like businesses in the City of McHenry and other towns were surveyed as to their requirements. Planner Sheriff stated Body Art Establishments or tattoo shops are regulated by the Illinois Department of Public Health Body Art Code and are required to register with the state. He stated it is common knowledge that the popularity of tattoos has risen substantially over the past decade. Surveys have indicated that 36% of US Citizens age 18-29 have at least one tattoo. Staff believes the biggest fear of allowing tattoo shops as a permitted use is that they would overcrowd some of our commercial areas. Staff surveyed and compared several neighboring cities. Of those cities surveyed that allow tattoo shops, they do not appear to be overcrowding the market. Being a service-oriented use, tattoo shops generate minimal externalities. If the Planning and zoning Commission agrees with Staff's assessment, then a motion is recommended for approval of Zoning Text Amendments as presented and outlined in the Staff Report. Chairwoman Rockweiler opened the floor to questions and comments from the public. There was nobody in attendance who wished to address the Commission with public comment. Chairwoman Rockweiler closed the public comment portion of the hearing at 7:30 p.m. Chairwoman Rockweiler invited questions and/or comments from the Commissioners. Commissioner Bremer stated she agrees fully with staff's assessment. Commissioner Smale asked what the criteria was that necessitated the past more restrictive zoning regulations. Planner Sheriff stated he was unsure why that decision was made in the past as he was not working in the City at that time. He believes the reasoning was as stated in his Staff report. Commissioner Davis asked if a limit will be proposed on the number of establishments that can be in these zoning districts. Planner Sheriff stated that no specific number is being proposed and Staff looks at this as an opportunity to fill some of the vacant shops in C4 and C5 zoning districts with service businesses. He does not believe there will be an influx of body art establishments. Commissioner Davis asked if possibly limiting the number of establishments allowed in the future can be revisited if needed. Planner Sheriff answered affirmatively. Commissioner Davis inquired if there is minimum criteria that has to be met in regard to licensing. Planner Sheriff and Director Polerecky explained the process of establishing a body art business in the City including the establishment having to submit their certifications from the health dept in order to receive a certificate of occupancy. Commissioner Walsh asked if applicants are required to submit a business plan be presented to the Commission or if they are coached/prepared on how to address the Commission. Planner Sheriff responded they are given instructions on how to properly fill out a planning and zoning application based on their specific zoning request. Commissioner Smale stated she believes we won't get over-saturated just simply due to the market regulating itself in the spirit of healthy competition. Page 7 of 144 Planning and Zoning Commission September 29,2021 Special Meeting Page 4 There were no further questions from the commissioners. Motion by Smale seconded by Lehman, with regard to File No. Z-995, to approve zoning text amendments to §11-9-7—Table 2— Permitted and Conditional Uses in Commercial Districts as presented and outlined in the Staff Report. Roll Call: Vote: 7-ayes: Bremer, Davis, Lehman, Rockweiler, Smale, Sobotta and Walsh. 0-nays, 0-abstained, 0-absent. Motion Carried. Chairwoman Rockweiler closed the Public Hearing regarding File No. Z-995 at 7:30 pm. File No. Z-996 Basil DeStefano and Elizabeth Wagner-DeStefano A Minor Zoning Variation from the RS-4 High-Density Single-Family Residential District Interior Side Yard and Rear Yard setback requirements to accommodate a new single-family residence at 3719 W. Freund Avenue Chairwoman Rockweiler called the hearing to order at 7:32 p.m. regarding File No Z-996, a minor zoning variation from the RS-4 High-Density Single-Family Residential District interior side yard and rear yard setback requirements to accommodate a new single-family residence at 3719 W. Freund Avenue. Chairwoman Rockweiler confirmed all legal posting requirements have been met. Mrs. DeStefano was sworn in and stated they are requesting a zoning variance slightly over the building line requirements to accommodate their house plans with a detached garage. These plans will include open green space between the house and garage and provide a sightline to the creek from the street view which is keeping in harmony with the existing neighborhood. City Planner Sheriff provided the Commission with the Staff Report regarding this file stating The petitioners, Elizabeth Wagner-DeStefano and Basil DeStefano are requesting approval of the following Zoning Variations to accommodate the construction of a new single-family residence: • A variance to allow a rear yard setback of 18.2' in lieu of the required 25 feet; and • A variance to allow an interior side yard setback of 4.7' in lieu of the required 6 feet. The original principal residence was in a poor condition and was demolished earlier this year. Staff was able to visit the site and speak with the adjacent neighbors while posting the sign on the property. Overall, the neighbors to the north and south appear to be supportive of the request. The neighbor to the south stated he would be happy once the project was completed and that it would be a good investment in the neighborhood The future land use map recommends low density single-family land use for the subject property. The subject property, and surrounding neighborhood, is zoned RS-4 High-Density Single-Family Residential District. Page 8 of 144 Planning and Zoning Commission September 29,2021 Special Meeting Page 5 Part of an older subdivision, the subject property and surrounding lots vary in size from 33-60 feet in width. Adjacent to a stream in the rear yard, staff does not believe the encroachment within the rear yard setback will cause any adverse impacts. Due to the size and irregular shape of the lot, staff is comfortable with the proposed side yard encroachment In summary, Planner Sheriff stated staff is comfortable with the proposal and believes there is a hardship present due to the size and shape of the lot. Conversations with the adjacent owners indicated they would be relieved once the site is developed and welcome the investment into the neighborhood. Staff does not object to the petitioner's request and recommends approval. If the Planning &Zoning Commission agrees with staff's assessment, then a motion is recommended for approval of the petitioner's request for zoning variations at 3719 Freund Avenue as presented and outlined in the Staff Report. Chairwoman Rockweiler invited questions and/or comments from the Commissioners. There were no questions from Commissioners Walsh, Smale, Lehman, Davis, or Bremer. Chairwoman Rockweiler asked if the neighboring properties meet the current measurement requirements. Planner Sheriff stated no but they are automatically grandfathered in. Commissioner Sobotta requested clarification on the two variances needed and the exact measurements, as well as the square footage of the house. Planner Sheriff clarified. Mrs. DeStefano stated she believes the house will be 1800 sf but was not sure if that includes the basement. Chairwoman Rockweiler invited questions and/or comments from the Public. Kathi Seivt was sworn in stating she lives to the left of the subject property. Ms. Seivt was looking for clarification on whether or how far the new residence would encroach on her property line. Planner Sheriff stated they will be required to provided a spot survey. He further stated the neighbor to the North (which was clarified is the Seivt residence) will have at least 10 feet between the houses. Cody verified the new dimensions will be compliant. Mrs. Seivt stated she is happy it is confirmed there will not be an encroachment that would be a problem in any future sale of her property. Scott Rowe, 1403 N Freund Ave., was sworn in. Mr. Rowe asked for clarification on what the new dimensions/measurement will be on the north side of the new residence. Planner Sheriff provided clarification. Mr. Rowe stated he was happy with the clarification given and has no further concerns.

Staff may have additional comments based upon the testimony presented during the public hearing. BACKGROUND& REQUEST SUMMARY The petitioner, Walter and Teresa Truszkowski Trust (Owner of Record), is requesting approval of a Use Variation to allow a 3-unit multifamily residence at 3807 Main Street. The property will also need to receive approval of the following Zoning Variations to accommodate the development: 1. Variation to allow a minimum lot area of 8,766.72 square feet in lieu of the required 15,000 square feet. 2. Variation to allow an interior side yard setback 4 feet in lieu of the required 6 feet for the existing garage. 3. Variation to allow a rear yard setback of 4 feet in lieu of the required 6.25 feet for the existing garage. 4. Any other variations necessary to accommodate the existing development. The subject property was granted a Use Variation to allow a duplex residential building by Ordinance 0-77-116 on August 15, 1977. A potential buyer interested in the property contacted the city to confirm zoning status of the existing 3-unit multifamily residence. It was at this time staff notified the buyer that the property was only approved for a duplex and the basement unit was unlawfully established.The petitioner will need to receive approval of the Use Variation to allow the third unit to remain on the property. The principal structure was constructed in 1988. Staff believes the 3rd unit has existed on the property for at least ten years based upon google earth photos. CITY OF MCHENRY ORDINANCES • The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Use Variances, listed in §11-19-6 of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance. • The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Variances, listed in §11-19-5 of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance. STAFF ANALYSIS CURRENT LAND USEAND ZONING The subject property is currently zoned RS-4 High Density Single-Family District.A multifamily residence is not permitted within the RS-4 District; however,the surrounding land use appears to also consist of nonconforming multifamily residential dwellings. Originally approved for a duplex, staff does not believe an additional dwelling unit on the site would create any adverse impacts. FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDATION The future land use map recommends medium density residential on the subject property. The property is somewhat in compliance with the recommendation. Page 14 of 144 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES Overall, staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies. Staff comments italicized. • Land Use, Objective —Allow a mixture of land uses in appropriate areas to promote responsible growth while providing a high quality of life to the residents. o Policy—"Preserve and expand areas of residential land use." (p. 27) ■ Approval of the applicant's request would preserve and expand areas of residential land use. • Neighborhood Character,Objective—Promote Downtown Housing. o Policy—"Approve high-density multi-family residential in conjunction with commercial retail to create a mixed-use area." (p.48) ■ Being within walking distance to the Historic Downtown, approval of the request would promote having multifamily land use within walking distance of commercial businesses. STAFF RECOMMENDATION &ANALYSIS In summary, staff believes the proposed use of the property is in substantial conformance with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Development Policies. The Community Development Department has been working closely with the petitioner and at the time of writing this staff report is scheduled to have a walk through performed by our building inspector. From a Code Enforcement perspective, it is difficult for the City to monitor and track these dwellings. The safety of the occupants of the building is the number one priority of the Community Development Department. The petitioner will be required to address all building code violations that result from the inspection. Given the longevity of the use and the minimal impact on the surrounding property owners, staff does not object to the petitioner's request and recommends approval subject to appropriate conditions. If the Planning& Zoning Commission agrees with staff's assessment, then two separate motions are recommended: 15Y MOTION: I motion to approve the petitioner's request for a use variance to allow a 3-unit multifamily building at 3807 Main Street subject to the following conditions: 1. A building permit shall be obtained within six (6) months from the date of approval by City Council to address all building code violations. 2. All other federal, state, and local laws shall be met. AND by making said motion, I agree with staff's assessment that the approval criteria for Use Variations have been met as outlined in the Staff Report. APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR USE VARIANCES (§11-19-61 A. Practical Difficulties or Particular Hardship: For reasons fully set forth in the written findings, the strict application of the provisions of this title relating to the use of the buildings or structures, or the use of the land, would result in unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant, as distinguished from mere inconvenience. Staff believes the strict application of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would result in an unnecessary and undue hardship. B. Reasonable Return: The property cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by the regulations in this title for the pertinent zoning district. Page 15 of 144 Staff believes the subject property cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by the regulations. C. Unique Circumstance: Special circumstances, fully described in the written findings, exist that are peculiar to the property for which the use variance is sought and that they do not apply generally to other properties in the same zoning district. Staff does believe the request is under special circumstances uniquely for this property because the property has operated for over 10 years as a nonconforming multifamily building in a single-family residential district. D. Not Alter Local Character: The granting of the use variance will not alter the essential character of the locality, nor substantially impair environmental quality, property values or public safety or welfare in the vicinity. Staff does not believe approval of the request will generate any adverse impacts on the surrounding area. Bringing the property into compliance with building regulations will have a positive impact on property values. E. Consistent With Title And Comprehensive Plan:The granting of a use variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this title and of the Comprehensive Plan of the City. Staff believes the overall request is consistent with the Title and Comprehensive Plan of supporting multifamily development near the Downtown. 2nd MOTION: I motion to approve the petitioner's request for the following zoning variations: 1. Variation to allow a minimum lot area of 8,766.72 square feet in lieu of the required 15,000 square feet. 2. Variation to allow an interior side yard setback 4 feet in lieu of the required 6 feet for the existing garage. 3. Variation to allow a rear yard setback of 4 feet in lieu of the required 6.25 feet for the existing garage. 4. Any other zoning variations necessary to accommodate the existing development. AND by making said motion I agree with staff's assessment that the approval criteria for zoning variances have been met as outlined in the staff report. VARIANCE APPROVAL CRITERIA (11-19-51. Comments of staff italicized below. A. Special Circumstances Not Found Elsewhere. Staff believes this is an unusual circumstance since the property has operated for at least 10 years with only one minor property maintenance violation (garbage bin left out too long). B. Circumstances Relate to the Property Only. Staff believes this is a special circumstance since the property has already operated for at least 10 years. C. Not Resulting From Applicant Action. The applicant did not create the 3-unit building. D. Unnecessary Hardship. Staff believes if the city enforces the ordinance that it would cause undue hardship since the property has operated for at least 10 years as a 3-unit residence. E. Preserves Rights Conferred By District: Staff believes this does not confer a special privilege for the subject property. F. Necessary For Use Of Property: Staff believes that without approval, the petitioner would be denied reasonable use and enjoyment of the property. G. Not Alter Local Character: Page 16 of 144 Staff believes approval of the applicant's request would not substantially alter essential character of the locality nor have any other adverse impacts. Improvements to the subject property would positively impact the surrounding area. H. Consistent With Title And Plan: Staff believes the proposal is appropriate given its proximity to the downtown which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan recommendation for increasing overall density in the downtown. I. Minimum Variance Recommended: Staff believes the proposed variance requests are the minimum required.

Not Resulting from Applicant Action The special circumstances that are the basis for a variance have not resulted from any act of the applicant or of any other party with interest in the property. 4.

Palm Harbor FL 34685 1 bought the property at 3807 Main St. McHenry IL 60050 in 1998. 1 bought it as it is now. It's a 3 apartment property. Each apartment has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a laundry area, a utility closet, kitchen, and living room. The property came with a 3 car garage. The lower basement apartment has an entrance from the front and an exit to the backyard and the garage space from the back. Each unit has and had its separate electric meter, separate gas meter, 3 AC units outside, 3 separate furnaces. That is the way I bought it. The whole community has many multi-unit apartments and duplexes and threeplexes. Also, my property is almost across the street from the 14-unit apartment building on Main St. and route 31 south. I just found out that the building was built as a duplex and not a threeplex, so I am asking for a variance.

Staff may have additional comments based upon the testimony presented during the public hearing. BACKGROUND& REQUEST SUMMARY The petitioner, Millco Investments (Owner of Record), is requesting approval of the following zoning items to construct an approximate 2,500 square foot Arby's drive-thru restaurant: • A Conditional Use Permit for the operation of a drive-thru restaurant. • Zoning Variations to Parking Lot Perimeter Landscaping. The site consists of 0.66 acres, more or less, and is located directly north of the intersection of Crystal Lake Road and W. Elm Street, with a common address of 4104 W. Elm Street ("Subject Property"). Formerly occupied by former State Representative Jack Franks, the subject property has remained vacant for several years. CITY OF MCHENRY ORDINANCES • The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Conditional uses, listed in §11-15-5 of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance. • The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Variances, listed in §11-19-5 of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance. STAFF ANALYSIS FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDATION The future land use map recommends commercial land use on the subject property. The proposed drive-thru restaurant is in substantial conformance with the commercial future land use recommendation. CURRENT LAND USE AND ZONING The subject property is currently zoned C-5 Highway Commercial District and has remained vacant for several years. Surrounded by primarily commercial and some industrial zoned properties, the proposed use of the property as a drive-thru restaurant is harmonious with the surrounding properties. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES Overall, staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies. Staff comments italicized. Land Use • Objective: "Allow a mixture of land uses in appropriate areas to promote responsible growth while providing a high quality of life to the residents." (p. 27) o Policy: "Preserve and expand areas of commercial land use." (p. 27) Staff believes approval of the request is consistent with supporting and expanding areas of commercial land use. The use of the property is consistent with the surrounding auto-oriented drive-thru restaurants. Page 43 of 144 Unique Character • Policy: "Locate intense commercial...uses where they will not negatively affect residential or open space uses." (p. 28) There is no residential or open space near the proposed drive-thru restaurant. Growth • Policy: "Promote development that allows employment and a shopping base which is diverse and affords the City with a sound economic base." (p. 29) Approval of the request would be consistent with promoting economic growth in the City. SITE PLAN ANALYSIS Overall, the proposed site plan is mostly consistent with the City's Zoning Ordinance Requirements with only the requested variation to parking lot perimeter landscaping. See below staff comments for various site elements. OFF STREET PARKING AND LOADING§11-12 Drive-thru restaurants are required to have 10 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of floor area. The 25 spaces proposed for the 2,335-sf facility exceeds the 24 spaces required by Ordinance. x LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING STANDARDS §11-13 The proposed site plan does not provide for a contiguous row/canopy of evergreen screening, 3 feet in height, along the perimeter of the proposed parking lots. Staff believes the missing landscaping was an oversite and not intention. Staff is recommending the petitioners comply with the parking lot landscaping and screening requirements or be prepared to justify the hardship. TRAFFIC CIRCULATION&ACCESS Although not required by Ordinance, staff has expressed concerns regarding the western most (existing) full access. Staff is recommending a condition be added that the petitioner will convert the western most full access to right-out only. The petitioners were comfortable with this change. The petitioners will also need to seek IDOT approval for the development which can be handled at the time of permitting. STAFF RECOMMENDATION & MOTION In summary, staff believes the proposed commercial redevelopment is in substantial conformance with the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance. The proposed drive-thru restaurant is adjacent to a state highway which consistent with the C-5 Highway Commercial District as an auto-oriented use. The proposed use appears to be harmonious with the surrounding land use and zoning. Staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Planning & Development Policies. Staff is recommending the petitioners comply with the Landscaping and Screening Standards. Staff does not object to the petitioner's request for a Conditional Use Permit for a drive-thru restaurant subject to appropriate conditions. Page 44 of 144 If the Planning& Zoning Commission agrees with staff's assessment, then two separate motions are recommended: 1st MOTION: A motion to recommend approval of the petitioner's request for a Conditional Use Permit for the operation of a drive-thru restaurant at 4104 W. Elm Street subject to the following conditions: 1. The western most full access on IL-120 shall be converted to a right-out only. 2. The petitioner's shall revise the landscaping plan to be in compliance with Chapter 13: Landscaping and Screening of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance. 3. All other federal, state, and local laws shall be met. AND by making said motion, you agree the Approval Criteria for Conditional Uses (§11-15-5) have been met as outlined in the staff report. APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR CONDITIONAL USES (§11-15-5). Staff comments italicized below. A. Traffic. Staff does not believe approval of the petitioner's request would generate any adverse traffic impacts. B. Environmental Nuisance. Staff does not believe approval of the petitioner's request would generate any environmental nuisances. Located off of a state route, the proposed auto-dependent use is appropriate for the area. C. Neighborhood Character. The proposed commercial use is appropriate and will be harmonious with the surrounding commercial and industrial properties. D. Public Services and Facilities. The site is serviced by City Water and Sanitary Sewer. E. Public Safety and Health. Staff does not believe the proposed use will generate any adverse impacts on public safety and health. F. Other Factors. Staff believes the proposed auto-dependent use is appropriate due to the site being located off of a state route. 2"d MOTION: a motion to recommend denial of the petitioner's request for a Zoning Variation to Parking Lot Perimeter Landscaping. AND by making said motion you agree that the Variance Approval Criteria (§11-19-5) have not been met as outlined in the staff report. VARIANCE APPROVAL CRITERIA (§11-19-5). Comments of staff italicized below. A. Special Circumstances Not Found Elsewhere. Staff does not believe this is an unusual circumstance and believes the space is adequate to provide parking lot perimeter landscaping. B. Circumstances Relate to the Property Only. Staff believes the circumstances of this property are similar to other property along IL-120 and the petitioners should have no hardship in planting parking lot perimeter landscaping and screening. C. Not Resulting From Applicant Action. The applicant did not include landscaping in the Landscape Plan. D. Unnecessary Hardship. Page 45 of 144 Staff is unable to identify a hardship for the request since the site plan appears to provide adequate space to install landscaping. E. Preserves Rights Conferred By District. Staff believes that granting said request would provide an unnecessary privilege to the property owner when other properties have complied. F. Necessary For Use Of Property. Staff believes the petitioner will be able to enjoy and use the property with the landscaping installed. G. Not Alter Local Character. Staff believes approval of the petitioner's request would set a precedent and negatively impact local character. H. Consistent With Title And Plan. Staff believes the proposed Zoning Variation is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Recommendation. I. Minimum Variance Recommended.

Staff may have additional comments based upon the testimony presented during the public hearing. BACKGROUND& REQUEST SUMMARY The petitioner Bertram Irslinger, managing member of Bank Storage LLC., is proposing to construct a Cuban- themed bar/tavern with live entertainment at 4502 W. Crystal Lake Road. To accommodate the request, the petitioner will need to receive approval of the following zoning items: 1. A Zoning Map Amendment from the C-2 Neighborhood Commercial District to the C-3 Community Commercial District. 2. A Conditional Use Permit to allow a Bar/Tavern with Live Entertainment. 3. Zoning Variation to allow an interior side yard setback of 8 feet in lieu of the required 10 feet for the existing principal structure. 4. Zoning Variation to allow 28 parking spaces in lieu of the minimum 43 or more spaces required. 5. Any other Zoning Variations necessary to accommodate the proposed development. Formerly occupied by the First Midwest Bank, the petitioner is proposing to convert the existing drive-thru into an open-air smoking cigar lounge with roll up glass doors. The petitioner's application currently states he would also potentially attract a cannabis dispensary. To clarify, this site would not be permissible to operate as a cannabis dispensary since it is not located along a state highway. The petitioner would utilize the existing warehouse as commercial storage for his other business (2nd Amendment Sports). CITY OF MCHENRY ORDINANCES • The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Conditional Uses, listed in §11-15-5 of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance. • The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Variances, listed in §11-19-5 of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance. STAFF ANALYSIS FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDATION The Future Land Use Map recommends commercial land use on the subject property. The proposed use for a tavern/bar with live entertainment is a commercial use and complies with the Future Land Use Map recommendation. The proposed zoning map amendment to the C-3 Community Commercial District is in compliance with the future land use map recommendation. CURRENT LAND USEAND ZONING The subject property is currently zoned C-2 Neighborhood Commercial District. The request to rezone the property to C-3 Community Commercial District would increase the total number of permitted uses on the property.' (See footnote for complete list)The C-2 District does not allow a tavern/bar with live entertainment; however, the C-3 District does allow live entertainment as a conditional use. Staff is currently in the process of examining the possibility of merging the 7 existing properties zoned C-1 Convenience i Table of Permitted and Conditional Uses by Zoning District:,h:.. s.((cilyrFri9cherr_ry.:erg/firer:tial :i:tes %, 3_?:G3I ,A.1:9:7 -42,9 - IE 1 .- f1 3 7 .... lq7 ./ua.. loads I...IISI-Table of Permitted Use ZDZD ua dated .7. r.7.02.1. df Page 70 of 144 Commercial District & C-2 Neighborhood Commercial District in the City with the C-3 Community Commercial District. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES Overall, staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies. Staff comments italicized. • Land Use, Objective — "Promote development that blends with existing development in the area especially if located within a unique sub-area". o The subject property is located within the Crystal Lake Road Sub-Area. Development should be consistent with the plan's recommendations. • Crystal Lake Road Sub-Area Plan— o "Building design for new, non-residential uses shall be consistent with the residential flavor of the area. Hip and gable roofs are encouraged while flat roofs are discouraged. Construction materials shall be primarily of brick or masonry." (p. 15) The development is only proposing slight modifications to the exterior of the building with the conversion of the drive-thru to an open-air cigar lounge with roll up glass doors. o "Lighting restrictions shall be considered with each proposed development to minimize light trespass and glare on nearby residential land uses." (p. 15) The development is not proposing any changes to the existing lighting on site. o "Noise restrictions shall be considered with each proposed development to minimize impacts on nearby land uses." (p. 15) The petitioner desires to have live acoustic entertainment on site from time to time. The petitioner should clarify the location of said live entertainment and whether it would be located outdoors. The Commission may wish to consider restrictions related to the location of the entertainment on site, restrict it to indoors only, and restrictions related to the use of amplification devices. o "Hours of operation shall be restricted...Retail shall maintain hours of operation, including loading and unloading, between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m." (p. 15) The petitioner application does not identify the business'hours of operation. The petitioner should clarify this for the Commission. SITE PLAN ANALYSIS Overall, the proposed site plan is mostly consistent with the City's Zoning Ordinance Requirements. See below staff comments for various site elements. • Parking. The site contains 28 parking spaces. Taverns require 10 parking spaces per 1,000 SF of GFA. With the conversion of the drive-thru to a habitable space, this increases the buildings footprint from approximately 2,000 square feet to 4,300 square feet. Forty-three (43) parking spaces would be required to accommodate the proposed expansion. With the conversion of the drive-thru to a seating area, there is an opportunity to add additional parking on site. The petitioner may wish to consider revising the site plan to include additional parking or the Commission may wish to consider adding a condition of approval that the petitioner shall work with staff to add additional parking on site. Conversations with the petitioner have indicated he is looking into expanding parking southeast of the proposed screened in area. • Traffic. According to the 10th Edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, Drinking Places generate approximately 11.36 trips per 1,000 SF of GFA while Drive-Thru Page 71 of 144 Banks generate approximately 20.45 trips per 1,000 SF of GFA during peak PM hours. Given the prior use, staff believes the proposed use will have less of an impact than the original drive-thru bank. Located along a minor arterial roadway, staff believes there is adequate capacity to service the proposed development. • Landscaping. The petitioner has not provided a landscape plan. Staff is recommending the petitioner install parking lot perimeter landscaping which requires a 3ft high row of evergreen screening and any combination of 2 other shrub species to screen car lights from view of the right of way. • Setback. The existing drive-thru encroaches within the required side yard setback by approximately 2 feet (8 feet off the property line instead of 10 feet). The existing bank predates the 1986 Zoning Ordinance and therefore is considered legal nonconforming. The petitioner will need to receive approval of a side yard setback variance to allow the conversion of the drive-thru to a seating area. Since the site is adjacent to a parking lot, staff does not believe this encroachment will generate any adverse impacts. • Signage. Although no sign plan has been provided, the commission may wish to consider restrictions related to internally illuminated and video signage. Staff has included this as a condition of approval. • Live Entertainment.The site plan does not indicate where live entertainment will be located on site. The petitioner may wish to clarify the scope of the live entertainment provided. Staff is recommending several conditions of approval regarding sound amplification device restrictions, and that all live entertainment shall be restricted to indoors. • Lighting.The petitioner is not proposing any additional lighting on site. Staff is adding a condition of approval regarding minimizing parking lot lighting. • Business Hours of Operation. The Crystal Lake Road Subarea Plan recommends business hours of operation restriction from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. The petitioner should clarify his hours of operation. Staff is requesting the Commission discuss whether it believes the hours of operation restriction should be added as a condition of approval. • Pedestrian Circulation. The petitioner is not proposing any improvements to pedestrian circulation. Staff has some concerns regarding the existing layout of the northern most parking area. Staff is recommending the petitioner improve the pedestrian accessibility from the northern most parking area to the principal structure. STAFF RECOMMENDATION & MOTION In summary, staff believes the development is mostly consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Development Policies. Located next to office-oriented uses, staff believes the proposed Cuban themed bar would be complimentary of the adjoining properties. Staff believes the positioning and setback distance of the principal structure will mitigate any potential adverse impacts such as noise or sound. However, staff is recommending several conditions of approval as part of the proposed development: 1. The petitioner shall revise the site plan to include additional parking that shall be reviewed by the Zoning Administrator. The Zoning Administrator may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the revised site plan and recommend back to the Planning & Zoning Commission. 2. Outdoor sound amplification devices shall be prohibited. 3. Live entertainment shall be restricted to indoor areas and shall be only acoustic in nature. 4. Internally illuminated signage and video signage shall be prohibited. This restriction does not apply to externally illuminated signage. 5. The development shall comply with all building perimeter landscaping and screening requirements. 6. No additional parking lot lighting shall be added unless required by federal, state, or local law. 7. The development shall be in substantial conformance with the submitted site plan and building elevations. Page 72 of 144 Staff is also requesting discussion on potentially restricting the hours of operation for the business as recommended by the Crystal Lake Road Subarea Plan. The petitioner will need to receive approval of a zoning map amendment to the C-3 Community Commercial District to accommodate the development. The future land use map recommends commercial use of the property. Staff does not object to the petitioner's requests subject to appropriate conditions. If the Planning& Zoning Commission agrees with staff's assessment, then three separate motions are recommended: 15t MOTION: A motion to approve the petitioner's request for a zoning map amendment from the C-2 Neighborhood Commercial District to the C-3 Community Commercial District. AND By making said motion, you agree that the approval criteria for Zoning Amendments have been met as outline in the staff report. Zoning Map Amendment Approval Criteria §11-5-5 A. Compatible With Use Or Zoning of Environs. Staff believes the proposed rezoning of the property is compatible with the surrounding land use. The property located directly west of the property is also zoned C-3 Community Commercial District. B. Supported by Trend of Development West of the subject property is a property zoned C-3 Community Commercial District. Rezoning the property to C-3 would be consistent with the trend of development in the area. C. Consistent with Comprehensive Plan Objectives. Staff believes the proposed zoning map amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Objectives to support existing commercial businesses. Rezoning the property would potentially allow more opportunity to redevelop an underutilized site. D. Furthers Public Interest Staff believes rezoning the property would allow additional opportunities for economic growth within the City which furthers the public interest. 2nd MOTION: A motion to recommend approval of the petitioner's request for a Conditional Use Permit for the operation of a tavern with live entertainment on the subject property, subject to the following Conditions: 1. The petitioner shall revise the site plan to include additional parking that shall be reviewed by the Zoning Administrator. The Zoning Administrator may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the revised site plan and recommend back to the Planning & Zoning Commission. 2. Outdoor sound amplification devices shall be prohibited. 3. Live entertainment shall be restricted to indoor areas. 4.Internally illuminated signage and video signage shall be prohibited. This restriction does not apply to externally illuminated signage. 5. The development shall comply with Chapter 13: Landscaping & Screening of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance. 6.No additional parking lot lighting shall be added unless required by federal, state, or local law. 7. The development shall be in substantial conformance with the submitted site plan and building elevations. 8. All other federal, state, and local laws shall be met. (Optional conditions of approval on next page) Page 73 of 144 Optional conditions of approval: 9. The petitioner shall revise the site plan to include improved pedestrian access to the principal structure such as crosswalks or additional sidewalk from the north most parking area that shall be reviewed by the Zoning Administrator. The Zoning Administrator may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the revised site plan and recommend back to the Planning & Zoning Commission. 10. The hours of operation of the proposed tavern with live entertainment shall be restricted to 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 P.M. AND by making said motion, you agree the Approval Criteria for Conditional Uses (§11-15-5) have been met as outlined in the staff report. APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR CONDITIONAL USES (§11-15-5). Staff comments italicized below. A. Traffic. Staff does not believe approval of the petitioner's request would generate any adverse traffic impacts. The proposed use of the property as a bar with live entertainment generates less traffic during peak PM hours than the former use of the property as a drive-thru bank. B. Environmental Nuisance. Staff does not believe approval of the petitioner's request would generate any environmental nuisances. Staff is also recommending several conditions of approval related to lighting, and sound. C. Neighborhood Character. The proposed commercial use is appropriate and will be harmonious with the surrounding commercial and office uses. D. Public Services and Facilities. The site is serviced by City Water and Sanitary Sewer. E. Public Safety and Health. Staff does not believe the proposed use will generate any adverse impacts on public safety and health. F. Other Factors. 3rd MOTION: a motion to recommend approval of the petitioner's request for the following Zoning Variations: 1. Zoning Variation to allow an interior side yard setback of 8 feet in lieu of the required 10 feet for the existing principal structure. 2. Zoning Variation to allow 28 parking spaces in lieu of the minimum 43 or more spaces required. 3. Any other Zoning Variations necessary to accommodate the proposed development. AND by making said motion, you agree the Variance Approval Criteria have been met as outlined in the staff report. VARIANCE APPROVAL CRITERIA (§11-19-0. Comments of staff italicized below. A. Special Circumstances Not Found Elsewhere. Staff believes this is a special circumstance because the existing principal structure predates the 1986 Zoning Ordinance and is considered legal nonconforming. B. Circumstances Relate to the Property Only. Staff believes the circumstances relate to this property and the existing layout and configuration of the buildings. Page 74 of 144 C. Not Resulting From Applicant Action. The applicant did not build the existing structures on site. D. Unnecessary Hardship. Staff believes denying the request would create an unnecessary hardship. E. Preserves Rights Conferred By District. Staff does not believe that approval of the request would be a special privilege ordinarily denied to other properties in the district. F. Necessary For Use Of Property. Staff believes the variance request is necessary for use of the building. G. Not Alter Local Character. Staff believes approval of the petitioner's request would not alter local character since the site has operated in its current configuration for over 30 years. H. Consistent With Title And Plan. Staff believes the proposed Zoning Variations are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. I. Minimum Variance Recommended. Staff believes the requested variations are the minimum required.

Zoninghistory_: This property has been zoned C-2, but operating as a C-3, from inception. A financial institution is not a permitted, nor conditional, use within the C-2 zoning niatrix. Therefore, for over 20 years,this property has been utilizing the C-3 zoning matrix while being labeled C-2. We wish to Continue use wit Hill the C_ 3 matrix, while finally property recognizing the C-3 zoning oil tile zoning map. PropqL Overview: The current parcel, though under one pill and C-2 zoning class, is split into 2 general use sections, The "front section"was used as the First Midwest Bank branch, including the retail Nvalk-up and covered drive-up sections. The"rear section"of the property is a stand-alone steel building that was used by the batik as commercial storage. We have broken down Our I-CCILlested action based on the"1111.dti-SeCti011" approach that was used by the bank for decades, Front Section: We intend to transforril tile bank building to a local entertainment destination. in conjunction with Roll Pecorini of the(Jrcat L,akes Smoke Show,the tnulti-level brick batik building will be gutted and transformed into as Cuban therned tavern. "flee upstairs\vi I I consist ofa single location bar with barstools, high top tables, restroorns,ail(] a walk-in humidor for cigar sales. The existing front entrance will remain, but the side exit into the current drive-through will be removed and replaced by a real-entrance/exit. The lower level will be converted into a members only,area with lockers and private party/niceting rooms. The existing lower level bathrooms will remain, but be remodeled and brought Lip to modern standards, The existing drive-thru lanes will be converted into ail open air smoking founge. Utilizing the existing foundation and roof structure, knee walls will be bricked Lip to match the building and provide ail enclosed garden-like atillosphere. Roll Lip glass doors will be added,along with heaters,cooling falls, TVs,and lounge appropriate seating. *]'his will allow patrons to enjoy their cocktails safely Outdoors,, while also enjoying a cigar in a property ventilated covered space, If issues arise in working with the State of`IL with regards to the Smoke Free Illinois Act, we have also been in contact Nvith Windy City Cannabis regarding a Marijuana Dispensary location, Iftlic property were re-zoned to C-3, this would be a permissible use and as good location for this type of buildout. Rear Section: The rear section of this property is a vvarehouse,and has been used for commercial storage since the batik built the property. We simply xvish to continue to use the warehouse as commercial warchouse space.

Staff may have additional comments based upon the testimony presented during the public hearing. BACKGROUND& REQUEST SUMMARY The petitioner, Commonwealth Development Corp of America (Contract Purchaser), is proposing to construct a three-story, 50-unit, apartment building at 914 N Front Street (Former Roller Rink). Upon completion, the proposed development will consist of 16 one-bedroom units, 9 two-bedroom units, and 25 three-bedroom units. The developer will need to receive approval of the following zoning items to accommodate the development: • A Use Variation to allow a multifamily apartment building within the C-5 Highway Commercial District. • A Zoning Variation to allow a corner side yard setback of 19' in lieu of the required 30 feet. • A Zoning Variation to allow 100 parking spaces in lieu of the required 124 spaces. • Any other variations necessary to accommodate the proposed development. The developer will be applying for the Illinois Housing Development Authority's Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) to construct the development. This program requires developers to set aside all units for residents earning 30-80 percent or less of the prevailing McHenry County Area Median Income (AMI). CITYOF MCHENRY ORDINANCES • The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Use Variances, listed in §11-19-6 of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance. • The petitioners must meet the Approval Criteria for Variances, listed in §11-19-5 of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance. STAFF ANALYSIS CURRENT LAND USE AND ZONING The subject property is currently zoned C-5 Highway Commercial District. The site was formely occupied by Just for Fun Roller Rink, tragically the principal structure was destroyed due to arson. The City is in the process of condemning the site because the property owner has failed to remediate the existing debris from the structure fire. Primarily surrounded by commercial, a portion of the property abuts a single-family home on the southeast corner of the property. Center Street Park is located directly east of the subject property. Staff is recommending the petitioners provide a safe pedestrian access in addition to either upgrading the existing equipment or providing a monetary donation to the City. FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDATION The Future Land Use Map recommends commercial use of the property. The proposed use of the property for multifamily is not consistent with the Future Land Use Map recommendation. The subject property is within the Main Street Sub-Area Plan boundaries which also recommends office or entertainment use opportunities for the site. However, the subarea plan does recommend multifamily on the property directly west of the subject property. Page 93 of 144 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES Overall, staff believes the proposed development is somewhat consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies and the Main Street Subarea Plan Goals and Objectives. Staff comments italicized. Land Use • Policy: "Encourage redevelopment of older commercial areas by adopting Sub-Area Plans or working through the different sections of the Plan to help facilitate the development." (p. 27) The subject property is located within the Main Street Sub-Area Plan. • Policy: "Promote high-density residential only in areas where transportation services exist to facilitate the efficient movement from home to work or services for the residents." (p. 28) The property is within 0.25 miles of the Metro Station and would be considered a transit-oriented development'. Transportation • Policy: "Avoid creating through traffic on local streets." (p. 41) Located on a state highway, staff believes there is adequate capacity to service the development and not burden local roads and streets. Main Street Subarea Plan—Overall Goal: "The goal of the Main Street Sub-Area Plan is to provide guidelines that will foster redevelopment of the area into a mixed-use and pedestrian-friendly neighborhood, taking advantage of public transportation options, while maintaining the existing historical integrity of the sub-area." (p. 12) Overall, staff believes the proposed development is somewhat consistent with the plan for the Main Street Subarea. Approval of the plan would be supportive of promoting a walkable pedestrian friendly neighborhood that is able to take advantage of public transportation options. Main Street Subarea Plan—Land Use Objectives and Policies • "Promote high-density residential development in the area near the Metra station." (p. 12) The proposed development is in conformance with the Main Street Plan recommendation since it is located within 0.25 miles of the train station. • "Minimize impacts of existing and new development on older established residential neighborhoods." (p. 12) The petitioner is proposing a single access point on IL-31. Staff does not believe the proposed development will generate any adverse impacts on the surrounding properties. • "Redevelop sites [south of John St] for office or entertainment use opportunities." (p. 20) The petitioner is not in compliance with this recommendation. The Commission should take into consideration whether the request is consistent with existing trends in development or if the request is in response to a change in the environment. (Staff report continues next page) 'Transit Oriented Developments are typically within walking distance of a train station which equates to approximately 0.25-0.5 miles. Page 94 of 144 SITE PLAN ANALYSIS Overall, the proposed site plan is in substantial conformance with the City's Zoning Ordinance with only a few minor exceptions. See below staff comments for various site elements. • Parking. The petitioner is proposing a total of 100 parking spaces in lieu of the required 124 spaces. As noted in the prior Authentix Multifamily Development, the City's Parking Ordinance requirements are excessive in comparison to other municipalities. Staff is comfortable with the proposed parking composition of 2.0 spaces per dwelling unit. Multifamily Apartments Required Parking # units Required Spaces Total Studio 1.5 0 0 1 2 16 32 2 2.33 9 20.97 3 2.33 25 58.25 Total 50 111.22 Visitor Parking 0.25 50 12.5 Total Required Parking 123.72 Proposed Parking 100 • Landscaping & Screening. The petitioner has provided a landscape plan that appears to be mostly in compliance with the Ordinance. Parking Lot Perimeter Landscaping requires the installation of at least two (2) other species of shrub (missing) in addition to a 3-foot high wall of evergreen screening. Staff believes the lack of shrubs was more of an oversite rather than a sought-after variation. Staff is recommending the petitioner comply with the Ordinance. • Fencing. The petitioner is not currently proposing a privacy fence along the southeast corner of the property abutting single-family residential. Staff believes having such a small portion be covered by a fence would look out of place. Staff is requesting the Commission's feedback on this item. • Density. The petitioner is proposing approximately 50 units on 2.8 acres which equates to 17.85 dwelling units per acre. The proposed density is not out of line with other multifamily developments in the city (see below table). Year Built Units Acres Density Single-Family Home Density Adjacent to Development Garden Quarter 1970s 68 units 4.7 acres 14 units/acre 3.28 units/acre Apartments Hillcrest 1982 88 units 4.89 acres 17.9 units/acre 2.33 units/acre; Apartments 2.88 units/acre; Fawn Ridge Trails 1988 208 units 10.75 acres 19.3 units/acre Apartments Southgate 1977 64 units 3.55 acres 18 units/acre 2.55 units/acre Apartments Authentix 2021 288 units 20 acres 14.4 units/acre 2.55 units/acre Page 95 of 144 • Setback Variation.To the north of the subject property is an unimproved road right-of-way. The north property line therefore is considered a corner side yard. The ordinance requires a 30' setback from the corner side yard in the C-5 Highway Commercial District. However, staff will be proposing to vacate the roadway in the event their grant application is successful. Vacating the roadway would bring the development into compliance with the ordinance requirements. • Center Street Park. The petitioner is not proposing to provide any outdoor playground areas. Located next to a City park, staff is recommending the petitioners revise their site plan to include a pedestrian access point to the park. Staff will also be recommending the petitioner work with the city to improve the park or provide a monetary donation. STAFF RECOMMENDATION & MOTION In summary, staff believes the proposed development would have a positive impact on the local economy. Although the development is inconsistent with the Main Street Subarea Plan recommendation for entertainment/office space use, the plan does recommend multifamily land use directly west of the site. The site is also less than 500 feet away from at least two other multifamily developments in the area.The Commission should discuss whether the proposed development with a change in conditions and other trends in development in the area. Adjacent to a state highway, staff does not believe there will be any adverse impacts on the surrounding properties. Staff does not object to the petitioner's request and recommends approval subject to appropriate conditions. If the Planning& Zoning Commission agrees with staff's assessment, then two separate motions are recommended: MOTION: A motion to recommend approval of the petitioner's request for a Use Variation to allow a 50-unit multifamily development at 914 N Front Street, subject to the following conditions: 1. The property owner shall revise the site plan to provide safe pedestrian access to Center Street Park which shall be reviewed by the Zoning Administrator. The Zoning Administrator shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny the revisions and recommend back to the Planning &Zoning Commission. 2. The property owner shall enter into a development agreement with the City of McHenry to provide improvements to the Center Street Park or a fee in lieu of providing improvements. 3. The development shall comply with Chapter 13: Landscaping and Screening of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance. 4. All development shall be in substantial conformance with the submitted site plan, landscape plan, and building elevations. 5. All other federal, state, and local laws shall be met. AND by making said motion, you agree the Approval Criteria for Use Variations have been met as outlined in the staff report. APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR USE VARIANCES(§11-19-6) A. Practical Difficulties or Particular Hardship: For reasons fully set forth in the written findings,the strict application of the provisions of this title relating to the use of the buildings or structures, or the use of the land, would result in unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant, as distinguished from mere inconvenience. Staff believes the strict application of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would result in an unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant. Page 96 of 144 B. Reasonable Return:The property cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by the regulations in this title for the pertinent zoning district. Staff believes the subject property cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by the regulations. C. Unique Circumstance: Special circumstances, fully described in the written findings, exist that are peculiar to the property for which the use variance is sought and that they do not apply generally to other properties in the same zoning district. Staff does believe this is a unique circumstance. The proposed use of the property for multifamily residential is consistent with other multifamily development less than 500 feet from the subject property. The Main Street Subarea Plan also recommends multifamily directly west of the subject property. D. Not Alter Local Character:The granting of the use variance will not alter the essential character of the locality, nor substantially impair environmental quality, property values or public safety or welfare in the vicinity. Staff does not believe approval of the request will generate any adverse impacts on the surrounding area and would have a positive economic impact on the surrounding businesses. E. Consistent With Title And Comprehensive Plan:The granting of a use variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this title and of the Comprehensive Plan of the City. Staff believes the overall request is consistent with the Title and Comprehensive Plan. The site is within 500 feet of several other multifamily developments and the Main Street Subarea Plan recommends multifamily land use directly west of the subject property. 2"d MOTION: I motion to approve the petitioner's request for the following zoning variations: 1.A Zoning Variation to allow a corner side yard setback of 19' in lieu of the required 30 feet. 2.A Zoning Variation to allow 100 parking spaces in lieu of the required 124 spaces. 3.Any other variations necessary to accommodate the proposed development. Subject to the condition that the development be in substantial conformance with the submitted site plan, landscape plan, and building elevations. AND By making said motion I agree with staffs assessment that the approval criteria for zoning variances have been met as outlined in the staff report. VARIANCE APPROVAL CRITERIA(11-19-5). Comments of staff italicized below. A. Special Circumstances Not Found Elsewhere. Staff believes this is an unusual circumstance. The City plans to vacate the proposed right-of-way in the future which would bring the development in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. The City's parking regulations have been noted in prior developments to be excessive. B. Circumstances Relate to the Property Only. Staff believes this is a special circumstance as a result of the property being located adjacent to an unimproved right-of-way. Staff will be proposing to vacate the unimproved right of way which would bring the property into compliance with the Ordinance. The City's parking regulations, as noted before, are excessive and have been allowed to be reduced in prior developments. C. Not Resulting From Applicant Action. The applicant did not create unimproved right-of-way which is planned to be vacated in the future to bring the property into compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant did not create the City's parking regulations. D. Unnecessary Hardship. Staff believes if the city enforces the ordinance that it would cause undue hardship on the applicant since other properties have been granted similar parking variation requests. E. Preserves Rights Conferred By District: Staff believes this does not confer a special privilege for the subject property. F. Necessary For Use Of Property: Page 97 of 144 Staff believes that without approval, the petitioner would be denied reasonable use and enjoyment of the property. G. Not Alter Local Character: Staff believes approval of the applicant's request would not substantially alter essential character of the locality nor have any other adverse impacts. Improvements to the subject property would positively impact the surrounding area. H. Consistent With Title And Plan: Staff believes the proposal is appropriate given its proximity to the downtown which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan recommendation for increasing overall density in the downtown area. I. Minimum Variance Recommended: Staff believes the proposed variance requests are the minimum required.

October 1, 2021 City of McHenry 333 South Green Street McHenry, IL 60050 Re: Proposed DOMAIN Development—914 Front Street Dear Mayor Jett, Council Members, and City Staff, Commonwealth Development Corporation of America is requesting a Use Variation to permit the proposed DOMAIN multi-family development consisting of fifty dwelling units for the property located on 914 Front Street. The proposed unit mix entails 16-one bedrooms,9-two bedrooms, and 25-three bedrooms with rents in the realm of$400 up to $1,200. Current zoning of the forementioned property is Highway Commercial(C-5) which does not currently permit the development of a new multi-family apartment complex. For this reason, Commonwealth is seeking a Use Variation. In addition, a variance is being requested to decrease the required parking stalls to permit 100 stalls in total providing a 2:1 ratio for future tenants.We believe is more than sufficient based on Commonwealth's 20 years of operational history demonstrating the average household requires 1.6 stalls per household. This proposal achieves this sites' highest and best use as it is currently underutilized and presents a great opportunity for a new infill development given the proximity to amenities,transit, downtown, and more. The city of McHenry is currently experiencing a shortage in housing as development has been stagnated over the years with the average unit constructed in 1983 per the Strategic Planning Analysis conducted by Tracy Cross&Associates,Inc. (TCAI)in March of 2021.Even with the aging housing stock,TCAI's report indicates a current vacancy rating of 0.7% demonstrating an extraordinarily strong market. TCAI suggests the addition of 320 apartment units by 2025 and while the Mayor,Council Members,and City Staff are making great strides in achieving this goal by approving multi-family developments as of recent,there must be a focus on providing high-quality units at a range of price points opposed to strictly luxury that are not affordable to a vast majority of the community. Present day apartment trends are creating a perception that a$1,000 studio/1BR apartment is affordable,when often that is not that case. For an individual making less than$3,335 a month($40K annually)this price point is too high and places them in a "Rent Burden" in accordance with the 30-percent rule that a household should spend no more than 30 percent of its income on housing costs. 7447 UNIVERSITY AVENUE,SUITE 210•MIDDLETON,WI 53562•(608)824-2290•FAX(608)260-7832 WWW.COMMONWEALTHCO.NET Page 99 of 144 This calculates to roughly$19 an hour.Active job postings within the city of McHenry that fall within this pay scale include Dental Receptionist, General Laborer, Caregiver, Culinary Team Member, and Security Officer to name a few. As demonstrated in this list, there are a vast majority of individuals within the McHenry workforce contributing to society on a daily basis that cannot afford the standard market-rate apartment rents that continue to climb at a breakneck pace.For this reason,Commonwealth is requesting a Use Variance along with supplemental Variances to permit the proposed development as it will benefit the existing workforce immensely while promoting future economic growth. Limited housing stock will no longer prohibit corporate expansion for the city of McHenry.

Special Circumstances Not Found Elsewhere Special circumstances exist that are particular to the property for which the variance is sought and that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zoning district; and these circumstances are not of so general or recurrent a nature as to make it reasonably practical to provide a general regulation to cover them. Commonwealth Development is requesting is s requesting Zoning Variations from Chapter 12—Of_f Street Parking and Loading requirements, C-5 Highway Commercial District corner side yard setback requirements 11-9-7 and an other Zoning Variations necessau to accommodate the proposed development. Proposed parking includes 100 total stalls providing a 2:1 ratio. The proposed development is to be situated on a 2.3-acre in-fill parcel and is being utilized to its fullest potential while still conforming to all set-back requirements. We believe this request is warranted as evidence across majoriV of our project indicate the average stall required per unit equates to 1.6:1 stalls/unit demonstrating that a 2:1 ratio is more than sufficient. 2. Circumstances Relate to Propgjdy Onl Since a variance will affect the character of its surroundings long after a property changes hands, the special circumstances referenced herein relate only to the physical character of the land or building(s) for which a variance is sought, such as dimensions, topography, or soil conditions; and they do not concern any business or activity the present or prospective owner or tenant carries on or seeks to carry on therein, or to the personal, business or financial circumstances of such owner or tenant or any other party with interest in the property. The requested variances all pertain to the design/construction aspects of our site and shall not affect the surrounding parcels, their business and/or financial circumstances. Public Hearing Application Packet Page 10 of 14 Page 105 of 144 3. Not Resulting from Applicant Action The special circumstances that are the basis for a variance have not resulted from any act of the applicant or of any other party with interest in the property. Applicant (Commonwealth) has recently executed a purchase agreement with the current seller. No further action has/will occur until proper municipal approvals are received. 4. Unnecessary Hardship The strict application of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would result in unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant,as distinguished from a mere inconvenience. If variances are not permitted, the development cannot come to fruition, An increase in required parking would require a reduction in density, Commonwealth is 12r9posing a 50-unit building as we have come to find this as the sweet spot promoting economies of scale for various subcontractors of which is a major factor considering the current construction cost climate. 5. Preserves Rights Conferred by District A variance is necessary for the applicant to preserve and enjoy a substantial property right possessed by other properties in the same zoning district and does not confer a special privilege ordinarily denied to other properties in the district. As the property sits, it is not substantial. It currently consists of a partially incarcerated roller rink and will require demolition and proper redemption all of which cannot be done without the approval of requested variances. i 6. Necessary for Use of Property The granting of a variance is necessary not because it will increase the applicant's economic return, although it may have this effect, but because without a variance the applicant will be deprived of any reasonable use or enjoyment of the property. Requested variances are warranted as it aligns with Commonwealth's missions of providing top-tier housing that is affordable to the workforce community. In addition, this site previously„features a historic st4pple that served the community for nearl 70- ears until the recent fire. If the requested variances are received, Commonwealth will have achieved the full satisfaction for our parcel by roprop viding_quality housing to the community while being able to repurpose this historic site. Public Hearing Application Packet Page I I of 14 Page 106 of 144 7. Not Alter Local Character The granting of a variance will not alter the essential character of the locality nor substantially impair environmental quality,property values,or public safety or welfare in the vicinity. The granting of the requested variances will improve environmental duality as we will conduct a Phase 1 and Phase 2 if necessary to ensure site does not present any issues for the proposed development along with the surrounding neighbors. If an environmental issue is identified proper remediation will occur. The projected$17 Million dollar development will provide a significant increase to the city's tax base and the adjacent property values. Lastly, the development will feature adequate exterior lighting smart key- fob technology, while designed by professional architects/engineers to ensure safety for our tenants and the entire community. 8. Consistent with Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan of the City, as viewed in light of any changes conditions since their adoption. The proposed variance request permits a development that aligns with numerous objectives set forth in the city of McHenry's comprehensive plan.For starters, the promotion of downtown_housing. The subject site aligns with this policy as it is less than a mile from downtown and is in close proximijy to existing services including but not limited to RroceKy store, restaurants, pharmacy, fire station, bank, place of worship and more. In addition, the parcel features 15 bus stops within a '/z mile aligning with the City's objective of supporting transit-oriented developments. Lastly, the proposed development entails demolishing the partially incinerated roller rink that sits on this site. Not only does this proposal align with the comprehensive plan's policy of demolishing older abandoned structures,but more importantly, it removes the current eyesore from the community to replace it with a unique, state-of--the-art, anti- monotony designed housing complex. 9. Minimum Variance Required The variance requested is the minimum required to provide the applicant with reasonable use and enjoyment of the property. Commonwealth Development has been in discussions with the City„of McHenry since last year pertaining to a new multi-family development. After successfully identifying the parcel located at 914 Front Street there have been multiple meetings with M+A Design, Inc. to craft the best design for this site while adhering to all of the current requirements with the exception of parking.

Practical Difficulties_or Particular Hardship The strict application of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance relating to the use of the buildings or structures, or the use of the land, would result in unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience, The requested use variance is required to bring this project to fruition for this reason we believe this request is warranted as it surpasses the threshold of being a mere inconvenience if denied Commonwealth is overly excited about the op o�y to partner with the city of McHenry and believe we're the most suitable development partner with the best parcel in town fora proposal of this nature. 2. Reasonable Return The property cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by the Zoning Ordinance for the pertinent zoning district. The site consists of a partially incinerated roller rank making. one's ability to yield ny sort return ina ossible until proper action takes place. Under Commonwealth's Use Variance request, this can be achieved through proper demolition/remediation allowing the site to be development ready yielding a proper return. 3. Unique Circumstance Special circumstances exist that are peculiar to the property for which the use variance is sought which do not apply generally to other properties in the same zoning district. The former Roller Rink site has been on and off the market ftencrating.no traction with prospective buyers for a commercial use building. For this reason. Commonwealth is requesting a Use Variation as the likelihood is this site will remain idle if this request is not granted, We believe this is a greqLopportunity to spark development in a stagnant area and increase cit 's taxes base for this parcel at little to no cost at all on the city's behalf. Public Hearing Application Packet Page 13 of 14 Page 108 of 144 4. Not Alter Local Character The granting of the use variance will not alter the essential character of the locality nor substantially impair enviromnental quality,property values, or public safety or welfare in the vicinity.

Staff may have additional comments based upon the testimony presented during the public hearing. BACKGROUND& REQUEST SUMMARY The petitioner, Northpointe Development Corporation (Contract Purchaser), is proposing to construct a 54- unit planned multifamily integrated design district development at 812 N Mill Street called Taylor Place Apartments. To accommodate the proposed development, the petitioner is requesting Preliminary Plan approval prior to submitting their Final Plans. Upon completion, the proposed development will consist of: • A new three-story, forty-six-unit (46) apartment building. • A new two-story, four-unit (4) townhome building. • An adaptively reused, two-story, four-unit (4) townhome building (Identified as the beige building). • An adaptively reused, one-story, community room building featuring a fitness room, leasing office, and common space. The developer will be applying for the Illinois Housing Development Authority's Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) to construct the development. This program requires developers to set aside all units for residents earning 30-80 percent or less of the prevailing McHenry County Area Median Income (AMI). CITYOF MCHENRY ORDINANCES • The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Development Review, listed in §11-11-5 of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance. STAFF ANALYSIS FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDATION The Future Land Use Map recommends commercial use of the property. The proposed use of the property for multifamily is not consistent with the Future Land Use Map recommendation. The subject property is within the Main Street Sub-Area Plan boundaries. The plan identifies the future land use of the project area as mixed use commercial and residential. The proposed development is somewhat consistent with this recommendation. CURRENT LAND USEAND ZONING The subject property is currently zoned 1-1 Industrial District and has been utilized for commercial warehousing and storage. The primary concern for the proposed development is traffic impact and how the proposed use will blend in with the surrounding properties. The subject property, also known as the historic mill or Hanly's Mill, was first constructed in the 1870s. The single-family residential subdivision to the south was plated in 1893. For the past 120+years, an industrial use has located next to the existing residential neighborhood. The proposed multifamily development would be considered a less intense use compared to industrial. Page 119 of 144 i f u I r ,Mx� £ �C,>.

Staff comments italicized. Land Use • Policy: "Promote the Integrated Design District land use for unique or urban properties in the City." (p. 27) The petitioner is proposing to preserve the historic mill building which was a wood mill in the 1870s and then later the home of Taylor Made Golf. With multiple buildings, the Integrated Design District is appropriate to accommodate the adaptive repurpose of the existing mill structure with the added multifamily housing. • Policy: "Encourage redevelopment of older commercial areas by adopting Sub-Area Plans or working through the different sections of the Plan to help facilitate the development." (p. 27) The subject property is located within the Main Street Sub-Area Plan. • Policy: "Promote high-density residential only in areas where transportation services exist to facilitate the efficient movement from home to work or services for the residents." (p. 28) The property is adjacent to the Metra Station and would be considered a transit-oriented development'. • Policy: "Encourage IDD land use and zoning to facilitate the completion of multi-use projects located on urban sites." (p. 29) The developer is proposing to construct a new 46-unit apartment building, adaptively reuse the historic mill site by converting it into 2, 4-unit townhome buildings with amenities and construct a new 4-unit townhome building. With multiple buildings, staff believes the proposed IDD development is appropriate. Transportation • Policy: "Avoid creating through traffic on local streets." (p. 41) The proposed access on Mill Street would create through traffic on local streets. However, these access points are required for the internal circulation of emergency vehicles. It is also important to note the location is within walking distance of the Metro Station and many downtown amenities. This proximity has the added benefit of reducing trip generation. The residential subdivision to the south of the subject property was plated in 1893. Cars weren't accessible to the workforce until after the 1920s post-WW1. As such, the layout and design of roadways for single-occupancy vehicles wasn't a design priority because most didn't know they needed to be. The functional classification systemz (arterials, collectors, local roads, etc.) wasn't created by the Federal Highway Administration until 1973 and then later nationally adopted to be consistent with the states in 1995. The existing layout of the roadway is the some today as it was back in 1893. According to the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), during peak PM hours (4-6PM), suburban low-rise apartments/townhomes generate approximately 0.56 trips per unit. This equates to 30.24 cars between 4-6PM (15.12 cars/hour). Staff does not believe the proposed development would have a significant impact on the adjacent neighborhood. 1 Transit Oriented Developments are typically within walking distance of a train station which equates to approximately 0.25-0.5 miles. Z Functional classification is the process by which streets and highways are grouped into classes according to the character of service they are intended to provide.h.ttp.;.// _:.. r w._.-cn.e_n../ca.. loads 20�0 03 ODOC-NN�nr -Funtional-classification- aide. df Page 121 of 144 Main Street Subarea Plan—Overall Goal: "The goal of the Main Street Sub-Area Plan is to provide guidelines that will foster redevelopment of the area into a mixed-use and pedestrian-friendly neighborhood, taking advantage of public transportation options, while maintaining the existing historical integrity of the sub-area." (p. 12) Overall, staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the plan of the Main Street Subarea. Being located within one of the more historic areas, the Commission should provide feedback on the proposed building elevations and small site details to complement the character of the downtown. Main Street Subarea Plan—Land Use Objectives and Policies • "Promote high-density residential development in the area near the Metra station." (p. 12) The proposed development is in conformance with the Main Street Plan recommendation. • "Minimize impacts of existing and new development on older established residential neighborhoods." (p. 12) The petitioner is proposing two full access points off Mill Street with an additional full access on Main Street. The residential subdivision to the south of the subject property is the Hanly's 15r and 2,d Addition to West McHenry Subdivision that was originally plated in 1893. The Mill itself was built around 1870. Based on the estimated traffic generated during peak hours, staff does not believe the proposed use would have a significant impact on the existing neighborhood. • "As existing industrial uses west of the railroad tracks turn over or relocate, development of these sites should be mixed-use with non-residential on first floor and residential on remaining floors, with potential of having underground parking." (p. 14) The proposed development is somewhat consistent with this recommendation; however, there is no commercial use proposed on the first floor of the development. • "Maintain historic Mill building as commercial/office property." (p. 18) The proposed development is somewhat consistent with this recommendation. The Mill is being adaptively repurposed into a two-story, 4-unit, townhouse with a community space in the red brick building. SITE PLAN ANALYSIS Overall, the proposed site plan is mostly consistent with the City's Zoning Ordinance Requirements. See below staff comments for various site elements. • Parking. The petitioner is proposed a total of 110 parking spaces in lieu of the required 131 spaces. As noted in the Authentix Development, the City's Parking Ordinance requirements are excessive in comparison to other municipalities. Staff is comfortable with the proposed parking composition. However, the petitioner will most likely be revising their site plan to incorporate additional green space at the request of City Council. This may result in a reduction in parking.

The petitioner has provided a preliminary landscape plan for the Commission's review. Much of the existing site is covered in impervious surface. Staff believes the proposed landscaping will be a significant improvement to the site. The petitioner is also proposing to preserve the existing mature trees along Mill Street. Staff will be recommending a tree survey prior to their final submittal. • Density, Bulk, and Setback Information.The petitioner is proposing approximately 54 units on 2.9 acres which equates to 18.6 dwelling units per acre. The most recent downtown development was on Green Street with the River Place Apartments which contains 27 dwelling units on a 1.02-acre site (26 dwelling units per acre). The C-4 Downtown Business District allows development to build to the property line. The developer is proposing a 25-foot setback along Mill Street. • Pedestrian Circulation. Currently, there are no sidewalks proposed on Mill Street. Staff is recommending the petitioners provide sidewalk in the right of way along with curb. Staff is also recommending the petitioners provide a tree survey when they return for their final submittal. The developer should attempt to preserve the existing trees to the greatest extent possible. Page 123 of 144 STAFF RECOMMENDATION & MOTION In summary, staff believes the proposed use in substantial conformance with the objectives and goals of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Development Policies including the Main Street Subarea Plan. Located within the historic downtown area, staff believes the proposed architectural details would blend in with the surrounding properties. Staff does not believe the proposed development would create any adverse impacts and would be a less intense use than the existing Industrial Zoning. Staff does not object to the petitioner's request and recommends approval subject to appropriate conditions. If the Planning& Zoning Commission agrees with staff's assessment, then the following motion is recommended: MOTION: A motion to recommend approval of a Preliminary Plan for a Multifamily Integrated Design District Development subject to the following conditions: 1. The petitioner shall provide a tree survey of the site. 2. The petitioner shall revise the site plan to include a sidewalk and curb along Mill Street. 3. The petitioner shall preserve the existing trees along Mill Street to the greatest extent possible. AND by making said motion, you agree the Approval Criteria for Development Review has been met as outlined in the Staff Report. APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW(§11-11-5).Staff comments italicized below. A. In what respects is the proposed plan consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and the stated purpose and intent of the IDD regulations? Staff believes the proposed plan is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Intent of the IDD regulations. The Main Street Subarea plan identifies the area as being mixed use residential and commercial in addition to increasing density near the Metro Station. Staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the plan. The Main Street Subarea Plan also identifies the historic preservation and adaptive re-use of the space as office. The petitioner is proposing to utilize the front building as a community space with the conversion of the Mill structure to a 4-unit townhouse. Staff believes this is consistent with the Main Street Subarea Plan. B. To what extent does the proposed plan depart from the requirements of the City's Zoning and Subdivision Control and Development Ordinances that are otherwise applicable to the property, including, but not limited to: density, bulk regulations and uses and the reasons why such departures are deemed to be in the public interest and/or as a result of the physical topography of the property and other circumstances unique to the property and not solely in the interest of the developer? The City of McHenry's Parking Ordinance in comparison to other municipalities is excessive and needs to be amended to reflect modern trends. Requiring excess parking only adds to the amount of impervious surface and less green space. Staff believes the proposed amount of parking is adequate to service the development. C. To what extent and what accommodations are made for the unique topographical and/or environmental features of the property, how are they incorporated into the overall development and design of the property and management plan for the property, while preserving and maintaining the integrity and character of those features and using them for the overall benefit of the public? The petitioner is proposing to preserve the historic mill building by adaptively repurposing the site into residential townhomes and a community space. Staff believes this is a unique cultural feature of the property and that its preservation is important to the City of McHenry. Page 124 of 144 D. To what extent does the proposed plan provide adequate control for vehicular traffic and pedestrian circulation, accommodation for and protection of designated open space and further the amenities of light, air, recreation and visual enjoyment? Located within the downtown and adjacent to Fort McHenry, Prairie Path, and Metro Station, staff believes the proposed development is consistent with a transit-oriented development. Staff estimates the project will generate approximately 15 cars per hour during peak hour traffic. Staff does not believe this will generate a significant impact on the surrounding properties. E. Does the plan provide appropriate street connectivity and functional connection among buildings within the development, such as pedestrian connections, that promote the public interest and enhance the quality of life of persons within the development? The petitioner is providing a sidewalk and green space within the development. Staff is also recommending a condition of approval for the installation of sidewalk along Mill Street while preserving the existing mature trees to provide a more pleasant pedestrian experience. F. Is there a continuity of scale amongst the buildings to promote visual enjoyment, while maintaining maximum sunlight exposure? Staff believes there is a continuity of scale amongst the structure to promote visual enjoyment, while maintaining maximum sunlight exposure. G. The relationship and compatibility of the proposed plan to the adjacent properties. The developer is incorporating the existing historic mill building into the development. The development is also adjacent to the Metro Station which would classify the development as a transit-oriented development. Staff also believes the traffic generated from the site to have minimal impact on the adjacent single-family homes. The site is approximately 5 feet lower than the adjacent single family homes which allows more privacy for the adjacent single family residences. H. The desirability of the proposed plan with regard to physical development, tax base and economic well being of the City. The City of McHenry has long desired to revitalize the area west of the Metro Station. Industrial Use is not compatible with a downtown setting and a transit-oriented development would only help to improve the City's chances of increasing the level of train service. I. The desirability of the proposed plan with regard to the burden placed on City services and facilities in relation to the public benefits that will be realized after the development of the property, including, but not limited to: sewer,water, fire, police, schools, roads and making adequate provision for those public services. Staff believes the plan is highly desirable and the public benefit received outweighs any burden on public services. J. Is the plan in conformance with existing Federal, State and other local regulations? Staff believes the proposed development is in conformance with all existing Federal, State and local regulations.

Requested Action Zoning Map Amendment(Re-zoning) from I-1 Industrial District to Integrated Design District(IDD), and Conditional Use Permit for an Integrated Design District Planned Multifamily Development Page 134 of 144 FORM A NARRATIVE Northpointe Development and Housing Opportunity Development Corporation("Developer") are proposing the new construction and adaptive reuse of Taylor Place Apartments, a fifty-four-unit Section 42 Housing Tax Credit("LIHTC") multi-family rental housing development located in the City of McHenry, Illinois. More specifically, the subject site is comprised of several adjoining parcels currently improved by Office and Warehouse buildings located at 812 N Mill St, McHenry, IL 60050 and 4103 W Crystal Lake Rd, McHenry, IL 60050.Parcel Numbers and Legal Descriptions are attached. Upon completion,the proposed Taylor Place Apartments will consist of: • A new construction, three-story, forty-six-unit apartment building • A new construction, two-story, four-unit townhome building • An adaptively reused, two-story, four-unit townhome building(Identified as the beige building) • An adaptively reused, one-story, community room building featuring a fitness room, leasing office, and common space Units will be marketed towards residents of all ages. Common spaces will include a playground and community garden. The property will also feature 24 garages spaces. The Developer proposes to set aside all units for residents earning 30-80 percent or less of the prevailing McHenry County Area Median Income ("AMI")using an allocation of Section 42 LIHTCs from the Illinois Housing Development Authority's ("IHDA's") rental housing tax credit program. Most units will be marketed towards individuals earning 50-80% of AMI. Most of the subject site is rectangular in shape and flat in topography. The subject site is bordered by a variety of uses, including: North: Commercial/Industrial Uses East: Metra Rail; Multi-Family Housing South: Single Family Housing West: Commercial Uses and Fort McHenry Page 135 of 144 FORM A A-12,vro-priate Use oflntegrated Design District a D� A Zoning Map Amendment to the Integrated Design District(1DD) is being requested. In meeting with City Staff, Council Members, and based of a productive neighborhood meeting—several important considerations have been raised. Emphasis was placed on the site's landscaping, the adaptive reuse of the two well-preserved historic buildings, and mitigating the traffic impact of the proposal. IDD zoning allows the flexibility necessary for Northpointe Development to develop the site in a manner that respects these priorities. Based upon Northpointe's extensive experience in multi-family housing, the development team was comfortable in reducing the number of parking stalls beyond what is typically required per city ordinances to provide additional landscaping features. The plan carefully considered both vehicular and pedestrian connectivity,providing ingress/egress on both Main Street and N. Mill Street as well as significant investment in sidewalks that connect both the multiple buildings and landscaping spaces provided throughout the property. Architectural features were selected in a manner that conforms with the overall character of existing residential uses—both multi- and single- family housing directly adjacent to the site. Building placement was determined to maximize the capture of sunlight and mitigate the impact of commercial uses on future residents and on adjacent long-term homeowners. Units and amenities were purposely placed to provide accommodation for light, air, recreation, and visual enjoyment. The re-development of the proposed site has been identified by City Staff as a priority with the expectation that higher density residential housing off Main Street could serve as a catalyst for additional economic growth. In conversations with Metra,the city indicated that adding additional residential housing in the area may result in future improvements to the existing public transportation system. With 54 units, there is an expected impact on City services and facilities. This is mitigated through the generated tax base from the site's redevelopment, future spending of residents, and future economic development generated. This plan will confirm with existing Federal, State, and local regulations. The proposed plan departs from the City's Zoning and Subdivision Control and Development Ordinances as defined below: • Parking: An exception to the Parking Ordinance is being requested as outlined below to accommodate additional landscaping space as requested by City Council members and adjacent neighbors. Based on the decade long experience of Northpointe Development, the nature of the development does not require the typical parking ratio outlined in the ordinance. This is in large part due to the easily accessible public transportation system. Ordinance Required Per Unit Stalls Required 1 Bedroom 2.00 48 2 Bedroom 2.33 70 Parking Ordinance requires 118 parking stalls or 2.19 stalls/unit. The petitioner is requesting an exception to provide the development with 100 parking stalls or 1.85 parking stalls/unit. • Landscaping and Screening: The proposed plan will adhere to and likely exceed the requirements of all landscaping and screening ordinances • Subdivision Ordinance: No subdivision is being requested in connection with this proposal Page 136 of 144 FORM A Current Use of Property Industrial and Office 7.
