File No. Z-1002
Walter and Teresa Truszkowski Trust
Use Variation and Zoning Variations for a 3-Unit Multifamily Building at 3807 Main Street
Chairwoman Rockweiler called the hearing to order at 7:05 p.m. regarding File No Z-1002 a Use
Variation and Zoning Variations for a 3-Unit Multifamily Building at the subject property,
commonly known as 3807 Main Street. Chairwoman Rockweiler confirmed all legal posting
requirements have been met.
Mr. Walter Truszkowski, 5123 Carlsburg Place, Palm Harbor, FL was sworn in and stated he is
trying to change his property to be allowed for a 3-unit building. That was the way he bought it
and wants it to comply.
City Planner Sheriff provided the Commission with the Staff Report regarding this file stating the
subject property was granted a Use Variation to allow a duplex residential building by in 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 needs to receive approval of the Use Variation to allow the third unit to remain on the
property. Staff believes the third unit has existed on the property for at least ten years.
.
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 creates any adverse
impacts.

Overall, 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 a walk through will be performed
by a building inspector. 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 were presented and recommended.
Chairwoman Rockweiler invited questions and/or comments from the Commissioners.
Commissioner Davis inquired as to the minimum lot area for clarification and whether the third
unit was already there and there are no additional units being added. Planner Sheriff clarified.
There were no questions from Commissioners Sobotta, Bremer, Walsh, Smale, or Lehman.
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 7:13 p.m.
Commissioner Davis had no questions and stated he is satisfied there will be no safety issues.
Commissioners Walsh, Smale, and Sobotta agree with Commissioner Davis. Commissioner
Lehman had no concerns since it is already in existence and safe by city standards.
Commissioner Bremer asked, in response to Planner Sheriff’s statement regarding cleaning up
this and similar units in the area, how many other similar units are there that are nonconforming
that will need to be addressed. Planner Sheriff stated there are several in the area and the City
typically learns about them when a financial institution requests a zoning verification letter and
that starts the process. Chairwoman Rockweiler agrees and believes the staff report was
thorough.
Motion by Bremer seconded by Lehman with regard to File No. Z-1002, to recommend approval
of the petitioner’s request for a Use Variance to allow a 3-Unit Multifamily Building at 3807 Main
Street as outlined in the Staff Report, as presented, 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, 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.
Motion by Davis seconded by Lehman with regard to File No. Z-1002, to recommend approval of
the petitioner’s request for the following Zoning Variations as outlined in the Staff Report, as

square feet.

Chairwoman Rockweiler called the hearing to order at 7:21 p.m. regarding File No Z-994 a

Street. Chairwoman Rockweiler confirmed all legal posting requirements have been met.

File No. Z-1003
Bertram Irslinger/Bank Storage LLC
A Zoning Map Amendment to the C-3 Community Commercial District,
Conditional Use Permit, and Zoning Variations for a Tavern & Bar
with Live Entertainment at 4502 W. Crystal Lake Road
Chairwoman Rockweiler called the hearing to order at 7:25 p.m. regarding File No Z-1003 a
Zoning Map Amendment to the C-3 Community Commercial District, Conditional Use Permit,
and Zoning Variations for a Tavern & Bar with Live Entertainment at 4502 W. Crystal Lake
Road. Chairwoman Rockweiler confirmed all legal posting requirements have been met.
Bertram Irslinger, 409 N Front St was sworn in and stated he has purchased the subject
property with an interest in keeping commercial use and splitting the property into 2 parcels one
for storage as it exists and one for an upscale tavern that sells cigars.
City Planner Sheriff provided the Commission with the Staff Report regarding this file stating
Planning and Zoning Commission
October 20, 2021
Page 4
the petitioner is proposing to convert the existing drive-thru of the former bank building into an
open-air smoking cigar lounge with roll up glass doors and live entertainment. The petitioner’s
application currently states he would also potentially attract a cannabis dispensary. Planner
Sheriff clarified 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 (Second Amendment Sports). Future land use
map, current land use and zoning, comprehensive plan objectives and qualities and site plan
analysis were summarized. 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. Staff did, however, present
and recommend several conditions of approval as part of the proposed development.
A revised site plan was presented showing compliance with parking regulations due to comments
in the preliminary staff review.
Planner Sheriff stated Staff requests the commission hold 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. Planner Sherriff stated if the Planning & Zoning Commission
agrees with staff’s assessment then three motions are recommended, as presented in the Staff
Report.
Chairwoman Rockweiler invited questions and/or comments from the Commissioners.
Bremer asked for clarification of the hours of operation for the business. Mr. Irslinger said hour
will vary subject to weekend and weekday hours but that he will work with the city based on
requirements for the residential surrounding area. Hours will most likely not be later than 11pm
or midnight. He explained it is not meant to be a college bar setting but an upscale establishment.
It is possible closing time could be 9 or 10 pm on weeknights. Commissioner Bremer asked if it
would be the intent of the establishment to allow patrons to bring in their own wine. Mr. Irslinger
stated probably not due to the fact they will be a tavern establishment and will follow all rules
including not allowing alcohol to leave the premises outside of current laws.
Commissioner Lehman asked if they plan on having outdoor drinking areas. Mr. Irslinger
responded that a garden area that will utilize the existing drive through area and possibly an
outdoor fireplace are in the plans. It will have movable garage doors to allow open air space
under roof. Commissioner Lehman asked for clarification on live entertainment and whether they
were looking to have a gaming license. Mr. Irslinger stated that while he did petition for live
entertainment, after speaking with staff they want to clarify it would be acoustic guitar or a single
lounge type singer. Mr. Irslinger stated they are not initially applying for a gaming license but may
in the future. Planner Sheriff shared the revised parking plan drawing with the commissioners.
Commissioners Smale and Sobotta had no questions.
Commissioner Walsh asked about security cameras on the premises, whether music would be
allowed inside only, the dress code, and when they planned on opening if approved. Mr. Irslinger
responded he would have security cameras inside, outside, and even on the warehouse space.
He had not considered a dress code but thought it might be a good idea even though it is not in
the initial business plan. He explained the goal is to provide an upscale experience and they are
Planning and Zoning Commission
October 20, 2021
Page 5
hoping to open late Spring of 2022, subject to materials and supplies being available. He further
verified that if music was allowed, outside music would not be amplified, but rather be more like
background music, acoustic.
Commissioner Davis asked if they are looking to have food on site or food allowed to be brought
in. Mr. Irslinger stated they are still debating on food options. He is unsure if the design will be
able to provide space for a safe and functional kitchen and they are still working on details. If
there is food it would be finger food, tapas very light menu. Otherwise they will allow food to be
brought in as recommended by a similar business they are familiar with in another state. Food
will definitely be allowed in the building one way or another.
Chairwoman Rockweiler asked about further landscaping and signage plans. Mr. Irslinger stated
there will be no change to the structural landscape of the present area. She asked Planner Sheriff
is there is more landscaping screening required due to the extra parking being added. Planner
Sheriff stated yes, per city standards. Mr. Irslinger stated they have the ability to do what is
required for landscaping and will comply. Regarding signage, Mr. Irslinger stated there will be
minimal changes as they will take advantage of the structure of the existing road sign and a backlit
logo sign on the building.
Chairwoman Rockweiler stated she still had a concern regarding the live entertainment and
wanted verification that most music will be indoors and a small amount outdoor. Mr. Irslinger
stated music will be only in the garden space that will be usually 60% enclosed at most times and
he does not expect music to be heard outside the property line.
Chairwoman Rockweiler stated the Crystal Lake Road Subarea Plan suggests business close at
9 p.m. and ask if the petitioner was aware of that. Mr. Irslinger stated he was not and would want
a variance on that restriction on the weekends, but he believed they could meet that closing time
on weekdays. Planner Sheriff clarified hours of operation in a “plan” is a recommendation and
not a requirement but should be considered by the Commissioners.
Chairwoman Rockweiler asked for clarification on the optional conditions listed as a suggestion
on the second motion, including regarding “pedestrian access”. Planner Sheriff clarified. Mr.
Irslinger stated said their idea for access is on the plan, but they would like to add a sidewalk in
the green space to the SE of the warehouse coming off the parking lot that will direct walking flow
away from the main flow of the parking lot and more toward the building.
Chairwoman Rockweiler invited questions and/or comments from the Public.
Ms. Leonore Mersch, 721 Lillian St, McHenry was sworn in and asked for clarification on the
location of this business. She voiced concern about headlights coming in windows of properties
across Crystal Lake Rd. and asked if new lights will go in with more turn lanes. Planner Sheriff
explained bars/taverns per square foot generate less traffic than a financial institution so there
would be no changes required. Mr. Irslinger opined there could be fewer light issues than the
bank had because the drive through will not be used for vehicle traffic.
There were no other comments from the public. Chairwoman Rockweiler closed the public
comment portion of the hearing at 7:51 p.m.
Chairwoman Rockweiler summarized her biggest concern is that the Subarea Plan on Crystal
Lake Rd. recommends fewer open hours and encouraged discussion from Commissioners.

Commissioner Sobotta stated he believes the location is fine and doesn’t feel there will be an
impact on the neighborhood.
Commissioner Walsh stated this is a great use of space, a good design and unique venue. He is
not concerned with music if kept low-key as mentioned. He is concerned about the open hours
and asked for clarification on what is required. He believes the business being forced to close at
9:00 p.m. every day is not necessary. He asked Staff whether a structure with garage doors that
can fully open is considered outdoor space or indoor space.
Planner Sheriff clarified the options that could be required by the Commission regarding hours of
operation and/or hours for entertainment. Planner Sheriff conferred with Director of Community
Development Polerecky and they stated outdoor space with garage is treated as habitable space
which is why parking was increased. It will be considered outdoor music if the garage doors are
open and music is playing.
Commissioner Smale said it sounds like a good idea as long as they are mindful of the
neighborhood in terms of noise and lights.
Commissioner Lehman is good with the applicant and believes it is a good use of the property.
Has no concern on the lighting being an issue. He does not have an issue with extended hours
because it is not being presented as a party bar.
Commissioner Bremer had questions regarding the second motion and asked for clarification.
She also asked for clarification on hours and requested input from others on any set hours to be
placed or giving no restriction at all. Director Polerecky stated he is unsure but believes the
closing hours for this type of establishment are 1:00 am Sun-Thurs and 2:00 a.m. on Fri/Sat. Mr.
Irslinger stated he does not anticipate people being there later than 11:00 pm or midnight. Director
Polerecky suggested there could be a closing restriction of Midnight on Fri/Sat and 10pm on
weeknights. Mr. Irslinger stated he prefers no restrictions but will comply with what is motioned.
Director Polerecky suggested possibly a motion to limit the hours of outdoor entertainment rather
than hours of the establishment. Mr. Irslinger believed that to be more reasonable. Commissioner
Bremer clarified she is more concerned with outside noise at all late nights, including loud
conversation, than she is strictly about outdoor entertainment.
Commissioner Davis agreed with all previous comments and believes lighting is addressed. He
likes the idea of repurposing an existing property. He doesn’t believe restricted hours are needed
for the establishment but likes a recommendation of restricting outside entertainment.
Discussion ensued. Mr. Irslinger clarified the outdoor space and the indoor space are two
separate areas. Concern was expressed by all to be sure to allow indoor amplified acoustic
entertainment but no outdoor amplified entertainment. Discussion also ensued regarding the
hours of operation especially for the outdoor space and sound violations. Chairwoman
Rockweiler did have a concern on hours of the space in general. No other commissioners had a
concern.
Commissioner Walsh inquired if any other outdoor seating areas at other establishments in town
have a restriction on the hours of operation? Planner Sheriff was unsure. Director Polerecky was
unsure but stated he believed there are restrictions on live entertainment at BuddyZ and DC
Cobbs outdoor areas after 10:00 p.m.
Motion by Bremer seconded by Smale with regard to File No. Z-1003, to recommend approval of
the petitioner’s request for a zoning map amendment from the C-2 Neighborhood Commercial

Chairwoman Rockweiler closed the public hearing regarding File No. Z-1003 at 8:45 p.m.
Chairwoman Rockweiler called for a 5-minute recess.
File No. Z-999
Commonwealth Development Corp. of America
Use Variation and Zoning Variations for a Multifamily Building at 914 N Front Street
Chairwoman Rockweiler called the hearing to order at 8:50 p.m. regarding File No Z-999 a Use
Variation and Zoning Variations for a Multifamily Building at the subject property, commonly
known as 914 N. Front Street. Chairwoman Rockweiler confirmed all legal posting
requirements have been met.
Attorney Joe Gottemoller was in attendance. Tyler Sheeran, with Commonwealth Development
Corp. of America, who resides in Verona WI and Ben Marshall, 1823 Brooklyn Dr., Bristol, WI
were sworn in. Attorney Gottemoller stated they are requesting a use variance and zoning
variations on the old McHenry roller rink site. Mr. Sheeran gave a presentation on the
Commonwealth Development Front Street Housing Development that they are proposing. The
Corporation was established by a Marine Corps veteran to establish affordable workforce
housing. It is not Section 8 housing. An amended drawing was presented from the original
presentation to City Council and that which was included in the Staff Report which includes
more open green space and some underground parking.
Attorney Gottemoller stated the use variance criteria is addressed with convenient
transportation opportunities to Metra and the location on Route 31. Practical difficulties will be
addressed due to the fire at the old roller rink and the investment opportunities being limited in
this corridor. He clarified the many opportunities this development would offer to the community
and fall within the criteria identified. He stated McHenry’s parking requirements are more
restrictive than surrounding areas.
City Planner Sheriff provided the Commission with the Staff Report regarding this file stating
due to the type of funding the applicant is using zoning and variances needs to receive approval
before funding is applied for.
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. Planner Sheriff asked the Commission to discuss 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.
Planner Sheriff stated if the Planning & Zoning Commission agrees with staff’s assessment,
then two separate motions were recommended as presented and outlined in the Staff Report.

Chairwoman Rockweiler invited questions and/or comments from the Commissioners.
Commissioner Lehman asked for clarification in regard to traffic patterns with Route 31 road
widening plans and asked if underbuilding parking in the plans will be in-ground or at grade level.
Planner Sheriff stated it is really not up to the City and IDOT will make all the recommendations.
Mr. Sheeran stated the parking will be fully underground. Planner Sheriff shared the amended
building elevation drawings.
Commissioner Walsh requested clarification on whether the police and fire department have
reviewed and agree with the plans for a one in / one out entrance or if they had any concerns.
Planner Sheriff stated it is a single building on a major highway so he doesn’t believe it is
necessary for that input. Commissioner Walsh also asked if there are estimates on the
percentage of approval and denial on the tax credit applications. Attorney Gottemoller has been
involved in three other similar applications of this type and there is a scoring system used. This
round of funding applications is due by end of February with decision to be made by end of May.
Commissioner Davis asked for clarification on approval chances based on the due diligence done
on this property location. Attorney Gottemoller stated conditions were very amenable to this
location.
Commissioner Bremer inquired if shrubs will be required to screen the residential area from the
development. Mr. Sheeran said yes. Commissioner Bremer inquired as to statistics on how many
students may enter the school districts in McHenry. Planner Sheriff does not have statistics at this
time but can obtain them in the future. Commissioner Bremer stated her concern as school board
president on the impact on the schools and is specifically concerned with the plans depicting
twenty-five 3-bedroom units as well as the 2-bed units. After discussion, Mr. Sheeran gave a
broad estimate of 50 students impacting the schools from this development.
Chairwoman Rockweiler asked for clarification on the zoning of the property. Planner Sheriff
clarified the zoning request applies only for this project unless someone else came in with the
exact same plan.
Commissioner Smale asked for clarification of the amenities proposed on the new property. Mr.
Sheeran clarified the amenities expected to be provided.
There were no questions from Commissioner Sobotta.
Chairwoman Rockweiler invited questions and/or comments from the Public.
Kevin Thimios, 4306 Ponca St was sworn in and stated Route 31 traffic is terrible and he is very
concerned how this many units will cause an extreme strain on an already traffic-congested area.
He does like the development, however, but not this location.
Leonore Mersch, 721 Lillian Street was sworn in and stated although the location is close to stores
and other businesses the traffic in the area does get extremely congested. She does think the
development is a good proposal.
Maureen O’Halleran 915 Center St was sworn in and asked for clarification on an article in the
NW Herald on the past Thursday regarding an additional roadway being in the plans to the
adjoining neighborhood. Mr. Sheeran stated that was no longer in the plans.
Chairwoman Rockweiler closed the public comment portion of the hearing at 9:30 p.m.

Commissioner Sobotta disagreed with Attorney Gottemoller that there are not many options in
this area for other uses. He believes a professional building, bar or restaurant would be a more
viable option on this property due to traffic and occupancy concerns for such a large development
and suggests further discussion. He is against this type of development at this location.
Commissioner Bremer asked if a traffic study has been done in the area. Planner Sheriff
responded no because it is only a 50-unit development equaling 14 trips per hour and staff is not
concerned with traffic due to the fact that IDOT has already scheduled this to be expanded to a
4-lane highway by 2025. He believes Commissioner Sobotta’s suggestion is valid and should be
discussed. Commissioner Bremer stated there is a huge shortage of rental opportunities, but she
is not sure this is the best location for traffic patterns and is also concerned about impact on
schools.
Commissioner Lehman likes the concept for this area but does have concerns about the traffic
presently in the area. He stated he has less of a concern with the knowledge the road will be
widened. He asked if a restaurant or bar in the location would eliminate any traffic impacts. Mr.
Sheeran stated if funding is approved for the location construction would not be completed until
late Fall of 2023.
Commissioner Sobotta asked for clarification on whether this would be the largest structure in the
area. Planner Sheriff could not confirm.
Commissioner Smale agreed with Commissioner Lehman’s traffic concerns being met by road
widening. He asked if there would be a potential for a traffic signal at the development. Planner
Sheriff responded it would be up to IDOT but most likely would not constitute one being added
due to its size.
Commissioner Walsh thanked the petitioners for a great plan and design. However, he does not
believe the location is the right fit for the development at this time.
Commissioner Davis stated all present buildings in the area are a bit of an eye sore and he stated
while this proposal is large, he does believe it could be a catalyst for other new buildings in the
area. There are minor concerns with traffic, but road widening will alleviate some of that and the
thinks it is a good opportunity for the community. He asked Staff if any other developers have
looked at the property. Planner Sheriff responded a gas station that wanted video gaming.
Commissioner Davis feels the traffic impact from this development might be less than peak times
at a restaurant or bar.
Chairwoman Rockweiler also agreed with Commissioner Davis regarding changes being needed
to update the neighborhood and this project having less traffic impact than a restaurant or bar.
Attorney Gottemoller stated if close transportation is not in the area (Metra) an application will not
score high enough to be approved so locations for this type of housing are limited and there are
not other locations available in McHenry meeting the transportation requirements.
Motion by Davis seconded by Smale with regard to File No. Z-999, 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:

File No. Z-998
Northpointe Development Corporation
Preliminary Plan Approval for a Planned Multifamily Integrated
Design District Development at 812 N Mill Street
Chairwoman Rockweiler called the hearing to order at 9:56 p.m. regarding File No Z-998
Preliminary Plan Approval for a Planned Multifamily Integrated Design District Development at
the subject property, commonly known as 812 N. Mill Street. Chairwoman Rockweiler
confirmed all legal posting requirements have been met. Planner Sheriff and Chairwoman
Rockweiler presented letters of objection received from residents.
Jake Victor 901 Hillside Dr Mundelein, Vice President of Development for Northpointe
Development, and Richard Koenig, 807 Davis, Evanston were sworn in. Mr. Victor gave a
Planning and Zoning Commission
October 20, 2021
Page 12
presentation on the proposal for Taylor Place Apartments workforce housing and complimented
the city on their community spirit. They are open to listening, generating ideas, and
incorporating feedback.
Mr. Keonig is Executive Director of the non-profit involved in the project and presented on
community-based housing stating they work with Home of the Sparrow and Pioneer Center as
well as other non-profits in the area. He is excited about the downtown location and access to
Fort McHenry Park and the beauty of the area. This is a transit-oriented development (TOD)
and would compliment the City’s recent housing summary. He said they have established
award-winning historical transformations in their resume.
City Planner Sheriff provided the Commission with the Staff Report regarding this file stating
the subject property is currently zoned Industrial and a historical site. Original and past uses
were a flour mill and a brickyard. The Main Street Subarea Plan was identified, and he believes
this project will preserve that goal with a mix of commercial and residential use. Cut through
traffic will be unavoidable but staff is looking into adding stop signs on Crestwood Drive and are
recommending a traffic study be done. It has been a challenge to find someone who will look
into preserving the site as well as add residential housing.
In summary, staff believes the proposed use is 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. as presented and outlined in the Staff Report.
Planner Sheriff stated if the Planning & Zoning Commission agrees with staff’s assessment, the
motion as presented is recommended.
Chairwoman Rockweiler invited questions and/or comments from the Commissioners.
Commissioner Bremer inquired, using the Naperville study, if they had any idea how many
students would impact the local school districts. Planner Sheriff was unable to provide that
information at this time. She also wanted to confirm that no traffic study had been done on this
project. Mr. Victor responded there was no traffic study done but he could say based on years of
experience and similar other developments their project would bring a maximum of about 20 cars
at peak hours.
Commissioner Smale likes the concept and the fact they work with non-profits supporting the
community.
There were no questions from Commissioners Lehman, Walsh Sobotta, or Davis. Chairwoman
Rockweiler invited questions and/or comments from the Public.
Leonore Mersch, 721 Lillian St was sworn in and asked if the historical part of the building will
remain the same or if the inside will be gutted and outside only will remain historical. Mr. Victor
responded the inside will be gutted and remodeled but most of the outside facade will remain the
same. She is concerned with traffic going toward Route 120 as it often gets backed up and there
will be more cut-through traffic on South Street.

Stephanie Greidanus, 4109 W Crystal Lake Road was sworn in and stated she owns the corner
of Crystal Lake Road and Mill St. She is most concerned with safety of children on the bike path
and believes the area is dangerous and it would be reckless to add more traffic and people.
Glenn Runkel,1022 Hanley St. was sworn in said the proposal is exciting and would like traffic-
calming features for the bike path as well. He also wondered if light pollution could be kept down
with dark sky compliant lighting fixtures. Mr. Victor responded that was a great idea and it is their
intent to take steps necessary to mitigate the light impact. Planner Sheriff stated the applicant
must meet lighting requirements by code.
Mary Lee Bershram, 4222 Crestwood was sworn in and stated her concern is cut through traffic.
Her belief is one more car added to the traffic flow is dangerous as there is already constant traffic
through the neighborhood causing dangerous pedestrian situations.
Kathie Lynd 813 N Mill St was sworn in and read a one-page statement from the Cooney Heights
United group working together to prevent the development due to dangerous traffic situations.
Ron Wagner (no address given) expressed concern about safety on local streets without
sidewalks and population density.
Lois Koss 4105 Crestwood Dr was sworn in and agrees with all comments regarding traffic. She
is concerned with the bus stops and danger to children and the change in quality of life with these
developments. Current apartment complex residents cut through yards and do illicit things on
and in view and in hearing range of her private property. She believes it will only get worse. She
is concerned about the damage that might be done to future value of her home and others.
Craig Davidson was sworn in and disclosed he has an ownership interest in 4025 Main St. Mr.
Davidson stated neighbors should consider alternatives of another industrial use being put on this
property rather than a nice residential area and what they want to look at.
There were no further comments from the public. Chairwoman Rockweiler closed the public
comment portion of the hearing at 10:37 p.m.
Commissioner Walsh stated besides the traffic concerns it is a nice development and believes
neighbor concerns can be addressed with local enforcement.
Commissioner Sobotta had no comments.
Commissioner Smale agrees with Commissioner Walsh and hears the concerns from the
neighbors but believes they can be further addressed. Asked if there is any way to restrict the
flow of outside traffic without inhibiting the residents. Planner Sheriff responded adding stop signs
is a thought and another effective method for psychological impact is actually narrow the
roadways themselves. He stated he had a discussion with the Public Works Director and other
than stop signs other changes may be cost-prohibitive.
Commissioner Lehman likes the conceptual drawings and believes it’s a good fit for the area itself
but understands the neighborhood concerns regarding speed allowed on the roads. He inquired
if low profile gradual speed bumps would be possible in this area. Planner Sheriff stated he’s not
sure it is possible on a local road and suggested rumble strips might be able to be looked into
along with the addition of sidewalks. He stated these things would be outside the scope of the
development’s responsibility, however.

Commissioner Davis agrees the development itself adds value to the area but agrees traffic is a
concern. He does not believe this development will greatly increase the traffic concerns.
Commissioner Bremer stated she agrees with other commissioners and likes the historical façade
being kept. Her concern rests with the bike path safety and she asked Planner Sheriff if it can be
looked into. Planner Sheriff stated there is already a separated lane which is the safest thing
available easily.
Chairwoman Rockweiler likes the historic preservation and understands the neighborhood
concerns and would suggest law enforcement get more involved with the traffic and speeding
concerns.
Motion by Bremer seconded by Smale with regard to File No. Z-998, to recommend approval of
the petitioner’s request for 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, we agree the Approval Criteria for Development Review has been
met as outlined and presented in the Staff Report.

Staff Report for the City of McHenry Planning & Zoning Commission
Staff Comments
The following comments and conclusions are based upon staff analysis and review prior to this hearing and are
to be considered viable unless evidence is established to the contrary. Staff may have additional comments
based upon the testimony presented during the public hearing.
BACKGROUND & REQUEST SUMMARY
The petitioner, Gary A Benning (Owner of Record), is requesting approval of a Use Variation to allow a 2-flat
multifamily residence and a coach house at 1508 N Green 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 8,744.76 square feet in lieu of the required 15,000 square
feet.
2. Variation to allow a minimum lot width of 66 feet in lieu of the required 150 feet.
3. Variation to allow a front yard setback of 14 feet in lieu of the required 25 feet for the 2-unit residence.
4. Variation to allow a rear yard setback of 4 feet in lieu of the required 25 feet to accommodate the
existing coach house.
5. Variation to allow an interior side yard setback of 0.6 feet in lieu of the 6 feet required to
accommodate the existing coach house.
6. Variation to allow a rear yard setback of 4 feet in lieu of the required 6.25 feet for the existing garage.
7. Variation to allow two principal structures on a single lot.
8. Any other variations necessary to accommodate the existing principal and accessory structures.
The subject property was recently purchased by the petitioner. Staff is unaware nor do the petitioners know
exactly how long the existing 2-flat and coach house have operated on the property. The petitioner desires to
renovate the existing coach house and continue to use the property for rental housing.
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 USE AND 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. The surrounding land use primarily consists of RS-4 High Density Single
Family with a nonconforming duplex directly west of the subject property. Due to how long the property has
operated as a multifamily residential use, staff does not believe the request would generate any adverse
impacts.
FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDATION
The future land use map recommends medium density residential (4-9 dwelling units per acre) on the subject
property. The subject property currently contains a ratio of 15 dwelling units per acre (3DUs/0.20 acres). The
proposed use of the property is not in compliance with the future land use map recommendation.
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 have already performed a walk-through inspection of the existing units. There
were no building code violations noted from the walk-through inspection. From a Code Enforcement
perspective, it is difficult for the City to monitor and track these dwellings. Being a nonconforming use, it often
discourages property owners from seeking building permits because they believe the City will penalize them.
The safety of the occupants of the building is the number one priority of the Community Development
Department. 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:
1st MOTION: I motion to approve the petitioner’s request for a use variance to allow a 3-unit multifamily
building at 1508 N Green Street.
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 (§11-19-5)
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.
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 long period of time and have existed in harmony with the surrounding
property owners.
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 8,744.76 square feet in lieu of the required 15,000 square
feet.
2. Variation to allow a minimum lot width of 66 feet in lieu of the required 150 feet.
3. Variation to allow a front yard setback of 14 feet in lieu of the required 25 feet for the 2-unit
residence.
4. Variation to allow a rear yard setback of 4 feet in lieu of the required 25 feet to accommodate the
existing coach house.
5. Variation to allow an interior side yard setback of 0.6 feet in lieu of the 6 feet required to
accommodate the existing coach house.
6. Variation to allow two principal structures on a single lot.
7. Any other variations necessary to accommodate the existing development as shown in the
submitted Plat of Survey.
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 (11-19-5). Comments of staff italicized below.
A. Special Circumstances Not Found Elsewhere.
Staff believes this is an unusual circumstance since the property has operated for a large period of time.
B. Circumstances Relate to the Property Only.
Staff believes this is a special circumstance since the property has operated for a large period of time.
C. Not Resulting From Applicant Action.
The applicant did not create the single-family home and coach house.
D. Unnecessary Hardship.
Staff believes if the city enforces the ordinance that it would cause undue hardship since the property has
operated in harmony with the surrounding residences for a large period of time.
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:
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.
Staff Report for the City of McHenry Planning & Zoning Commission
Staff Comments
The following comments and conclusions are based upon staff analysis and review prior to this hearing and are
to be considered viable unless evidence is established to the contrary. 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.
o Petitioner has indicated they intend to comply with this provision.
The site consists of 1.05 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 on the south half and I-1 Industrial
District on the north half (parking lot) 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.
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.
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. The petitioner has informed staff they intend
to comply with the ordinance and will be withdrawing their request for a variation.
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 is
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 does not object to the petitioner’s
request for a Conditional Use Permit for a drive-thru restaurant subject to appropriate conditions.
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 petitioners shall revise their site access based on review comments from IDOT.
2. Any further site plan revisions due to comments received from IDOT shall be reviewed by the Staff
Plat Review Committee who may approve, approve with conditions, or deny and refer the project
back to City Council for approval.
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.
2nd 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.
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.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
In order to advise adjacent property owners and the general public of a public hearing, the petitioner must
complete certain public notice requirements, including: 1) A hearing notice must be published in a local
newspaper; 2) A notice must be sent to all property owners abutting or across the street (right-of-way) from the
subject property; and 3) A sign must be posted on the property (except for minor variances).
1. Publish a hearing notice in the local edition of Northwest Herald newspaper for one day. The City
Planner will draft a legal notice for the petitioner to send to the Northwest Herald. After reviewing the
notice, and the information provided is deemed correct by the petitioner, the notice should be sent
directly to the Northwest Herald, preferably by electronic mail, also indicating billing for the notice should
be sent directly to the applicant rather than the City of McHenry:
Shaw Media – Northwest Herald
(815) 526-4459
(630) 368-8809 fax
P.O. Box 250
Crystal Lake, IL 60039
publicnotice@nwherald.com
If you e-mail the public notice, please call and confirm receipt of said notice at 815-526-4459 or the
Classified Manager at 815-526-4439. NOTE: The notice must be provided to the newspaper at least
three days prior to the desired publication date by 11:00 a.m.
2. Send a copy of the hearing notice via certified mail, return receipt requested, to the owners (last known
taxpayer) of all parcels of property that are abutting or across the street (right-of-way-improved or
unimproved public street, alley, body of water or railroad) from the subject property. The City Planner
will provide the petitioner with a list of adjacent property owners.
Property mapping and locations of abutting properties, parcel pin numbers and addresses can be most
easily obtained by utilizing the following McHenry County mapping system link
http://www.mchenrycountygis.org/Athena/ however the most accurate property ownership (most recent
taxpayer) information should be obtained by utilizing the McHenry County Treasurer’s Office on-line
parcel search function which can be accessed using the following website
http://mchenryil.devnetwedge.com/.
3. Post a sign in the front yard of the subject property where it is visible from a public street and no further
than thirty (30) feet from the edge of the right-of-way. A poster sign is provided by the City but it must be
posted by the applicant if requested by City Staff. The sign must remain in place until the public hearing is
concluded, and should be removed immediately thereafter.
NOTE: Requests for Minor Variance are exempt from sign posting requirements. A Minor Variance is
defined as follows: MINOR VARIANCE: a variance granted to the fee owner, contract purchaser or
option holder of a single-family detached or attached dwelling or single-family detached or attached
building lot for that dwelling or lot.
Public Hearing Application Packet Page 4 of 20
VERIFICATION OF PUBLIC NOTICE
In order to verify the completion of the public notice requirements, the applicant must provide the following items
to the City Planner preferably at least five (5) days in advance of the public hearing (or on the date of the hearing
with City of McHenry approval):
1. A “Certificate of Publication” from the Northwest Herald for the hearing notice.
2. Postal Return Receipts (white mailing receipts and green return cards) from the certified mailing along
with any returned mail.
3. A signed and notarized affidavit stating that the applicant has completed all of the public notice
requirements. (located on Form A)
The affidavit should not be submitted until all notification requirements have been met. If you don’t
have access to a notary, you can complete this document at City Hall, where a notary is available.

Staff Report for the City of McHenry Planning & Zoning Commission
Staff Comments
The following comments and conclusions are based upon staff analysis and review prior to this hearing and are
to be considered viable unless evidence is established to the contrary. Staff may have additional comments
based upon the testimony presented during the public hearing.
REQUEST SUMMARY
The petitioner, United Community Bank Trust #49-4210151 of 120 S. Chatham Road, Springfield, IL (“Contract
Purchaser”), is requesting approval of the following zoning items:
1. A Zoning Map Amendment from the BP Business Park District to C-5 Highway Commercial District on a
portion of the property.
2. A Conditional Use Permit for Outdoor Storage, Open Sales Lot, Automobile Service and Repair, and
Trailer Service and Repair.
3. Zoning Variations from Residential Screen Strip Design Standards as follows:
o East Property Line – Variation from design standards to accommodate existing landscaping.
o North Property Line – Variation from design standards to allow no landscaping screening on-
site. (Existing tree line offsite directly adjacent to subject property)
o West Property Line – Variation from design standards to allow no landscape screening (large
natural pond directly west of the property).
4. Zoning Variation to allow an interior side yard setback of 24.3 feet in lieu of 25 feet to accommodate
the existing metal frame building.
5. Zoning Variation from Outdoor Storage regulations to allow a gravel storage area (existing storage area
gravel; proposed storage area also gravel).
6. Any other Zoning Variations necessary to accommodate the proposed development.
Currently occupied by R.A. Adams, the petitioner is seeking approval to run similar business operations
involving sales, maintenance, and display of truck bodies, van interiors, and truck equipment.
BACKGROUND
The subject property was annexed into the City of McHenry in 1996. Prior to the annexation, the property was
also granted approval of several zoning items including a Conditional Use Permit for Outdoor Storage, Open
Sales Lot, Automobile Service and Repair, Trailer Service and Repair, and Outdoor Advertising Signage (no
longer a conditional use under current ordinance). A portion of the property was rezoned to C-5 Highway
Commercial District with the remaining area rezoned to BP Business Park District. In 1998, the owners of the
property rezoned a portion of the BP Business Park property to C-5 Highway Commercial District. However,
the property owners did not request to expand their conditional use to those areas. Since that time, the
property owner has expanded unlawfully northward beyond what was originally approved (See figure 1 on
next page). The petitioner desires to purchase the property and are seeking zoning approval to bring the
unlawful expansion into conformity with the Zoning Ordinance and continue the operation for the sale and
display of large commercial vehicles and trailers. The contract purchaser of the property desires to remain
confidential until zoning approval is granted to protect their reputation within the industry.
CITY OF MCHENRY ORDINANCES
• The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Zoning Amendments, listed in §11-5-5 of the City of
McHenry Zoning Ordinance.
• 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.
Figure 1 - RA Adams existing conditions and expansion areas.
STAFF ANALYSIS
FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDATION
The Future Land Use Map recommends commercial land use on the south portion of the property with
Business Park Zoning on the north half of the property. The proposed use of sale and maintenance of large
commercial trucks and trailers is mostly consistent with this recommendation.
CURRENT LAND USE AND ZONING
The southern portion of the property is currently zoned C-5 Highway Commercial District with the remaining
area zoned BP Business Park District. The current and proposed use of the property involves the sale, display,
and maintenance of large commercial trucks and trailers. The site’s proximity to a state highway provides
adequate capacity to service the development which may involve the movement of large commercial vehicles.
The primary concern is how the proposed use will interact with the adjacent property owners.
• North Property Line. Directly north of the property is Hilltop Elementary School. Staff’s primary
concern regarding this proximity is how it will impact the school. The petitioner is proposing to
maintain a 6-foot privacy fence along the north property line but is seeking a variation from the
landscaped screening composition due to the school itself being separated from the property by a
large number of trees. There is also an approximate 10–15-foot drop in grade from the north property
to the subject property. Staff is comfortable with the request, but we have also included as a condition
of approval that the petitioner shall install landscaped screening to be in compliance with the Zoning
Ordinance should the tree line be removed.
• East Property Line. Directly east of the property is a single-family (unincorporated) residential
subdivision. The east property line contains a ~4-10 feet tall berm that is landscaped with a variety of
trees that provide screening and shielding from any dust or debris from the existing operations. The
petitioner is seeking a variation from the screening composition along this property line as well. Staff
is comfortable with this request given the height of the berm and the existing vegetation, but we have
also included a similar provision of approval that the petitioner shall maintain the existing berm and
vegetation. Staff have also recommended the petitioner provide a tree survey for the site as a
condition of approval.
• West Property Line (new expansion area). Directly west of the property is a large natural detention
pond that services the area. Given the separation distance (approximately 980-1000 feet) from the
single-family homes to the west, staff is comfortable with the petitioner’s request for a variation from
the landscaped screening requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
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, Policy – “Allow Highway Commercial zoning only along major transportation routes.” (p. 54)
o The subject property is located along a state highway and is in substantial conformance with this
recommendation.
• Land Use, Policy – “Transition yards and buffers between commercial and residential uses should be
designed to respect the privacy and environmental quality of the residential uses.” (p. 54).
o The east property line of the subject property contains a 4–10-foot tall, landscaped berm. Staff
believes the existing landscaped berm will respect the privacy and environmental quality of the
residential uses.
• Neighborhood Character, Policy – “Promote the preservation of trees and the recommendation of
future growth as written in our tree preservation ordinance and encourage the continued review of
comprehensive landscape plans for all developments.” (p. 48)
o Staff has included conditions of approval that require the petitioner to provide the city a tree
survey of the site and to maintain and preserve the existing vegetation. Staff believes the
proposed development, with the added conditions of approval, to be in substantial conformance
with this recommendation.
• Neighborhood Character, Policy – “Adequate buffering and transitional uses shall be required adjacent
to single-family residential land uses to retail or employment uses to protect the character, privacy,
and value of the homes.” (p. 48)
o Staff believes the proposed development is consistent with this recommendation. Staff believes
the berm and landscape buffering provides adequate capacity to protect the character, privacy,
and value of the adjacent homes.
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.
• Landscaping & Screening. See Current Land Use and Zoning for Staff Analysis.
• Setback. The existing site is mostly in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance setback requirements
apart from the easternmost metal storage building which encroaches approximately half a foot into
the required 25-foot setback. Given that the structure has existed for over 20 years, and it was lawfully
constructed, staff is comfortable with this variation request.
• Lighting. The petitioner is not proposing any additional lighting on site outside what is required by
building code.
• Gravel Storage Area. The Zoning Ordinance requires outdoor storage areas to be paved with asphalt or
concrete. The petitioner is requesting a variation to maintain the existing gravel storage area and allow
the expansion area to be composed of gravel. Although the Ordinance allows the Zoning Administrator
to waive the impervious surface requirement, staff felt that due to the size of the gravel area that it
was more appropriate to allow the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council to provide
feedback on the request. Staff is comfortable with the proposal given the landscaped berm that exists
between the single-family homes and the subject property.
• Hours of Operation. The petitioner’s hours of operation are Mon-Sat 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION & MOTION
In summary, staff believes the development is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and
Development Policies. The continued use of the property for the sale and maintenance of large commercial
trucks and trailers is mostly consistent with the future land use map recommendation for commercial and
business park land use. Located next a residential subdivision, staff believes the existing site landscaping is
adequate to provide screening and privacy. Overall, staff believes the proposed use will not generate any
adverse impacts 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 three separate motions are
recommended:
1st MOTION: A motion to approve the petitioner’s request for a zoning map amendment from the BP
Business Park District to the C-5 Highway Commercial District on lots 15-17 and part of lot 14.
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.
Adjacent to a state highway, staff believes C-5 Highway Commercial District zoning is appropriate.
B. Supported by Trend of Development
The subject property has largely operated for over 20 years as a highway commercial oriented use. Staff
believes the proposed zoning would reflect the existing conditions.
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.
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
Outdoor Storage, Open Sales Lot, Automobile Service and Repair, and Trailer Service and Repair, subject to
the following Conditions:
1. The property owner shall maintain the existing landscaping and screening onsite.
2. The property owner shall be responsible for replacing any landscaped screening onsite that is
damaged or destroyed.
3. The property owner shall provide the city with a tree survey of the site within 6 months of approval
by City Council.
4. The outdoor storage and display areas shall be maintained in a neat and orderly appearance as
determined by the Zoning Administrator.
5. In the event the school district removes the existing trees along the north property line, the property
owner shall be required to install landscaping and screening in compliance with §11-13-2, Table 2 –
Residential Screen Strip Design Standards.
6. The development shall be in substantial conformance with the submitted plans.
7. 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.
Given the site’s proximity to a state highway, staff does not believe approval of the petitioner’s request
would generate any adverse traffic impacts.
B. Environmental Nuisance.
The site contains a 4-10ft tall, landscaped berm to help trap dust and mitigate noise, staff does not
believe approval of the petitioner’s request would generate any environmental nuisances.
C. Neighborhood Character.
The proposed commercial use is appropriate and will be harmonious with the existing industrial and
commercial uses. Several conditions of approval regarding the maintenance of the existing landscaped
screening have also been provided to maintain the privacy of the existing single-family homes to the
west.
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 approximately 24 feet in lieu of the
required 25 feet for the easternmost metal storage building.
2. Zoning Variation to allow relief from §11-13-2 Table 2 – Residential Screen Strip Design Standards
subject to the condition that screening shall be installed as depicted in the submitted site plan and
conditions of approval listed under the Conditional Use Permit for Outdoor Storage, Open Sales Lot,
Automobile Service and Repair, and Trailer Service and Repair.
3. Zoning Variation from Outdoor Storage regulations to allow a gravel storage area.
4. 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 (§11-19-5). Comments of staff italicized below.
A. Special Circumstances Not Found Elsewhere.
Staff believes this is a special circumstance due to the longevity of the use and the existing landscape
screening on site. The site also sits approximately 10-15 feet lower than the property directly to the
north which largely prevents the property owner from realistically screening the site from view.
B. Circumstances Relate to the Property Only.
Staff believes the circumstances relate to this property and the existing layout and configuration of the
buildings, the unique topographical features that exist, and the longevity of the existing use of the site.
C. Not Resulting From Applicant Action.
The applicant did not install the existing screening 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 the use of the property.
G. Not Alter Local Character.
Staff believes approval of the petitioner’s request would not alter local character given the longevity of
the existing use of the site for the sale, display, and maintenance of large commercial trucks and
trailers.
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.
