Public Hearing: City of McHenry
File No. Z 950
Text amendments to the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance including: Article III.
General District Regulations (H. Operations within Enclosed Buildings).
This is the provision that deals with outdoor seating.
Chairman Strach called the Public Hearing to order at 734Al File No. Z-950 a request
for text amendments to the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance including: Article III. General
District Regulations (H. Operations within Enclosed Buildings), which deals with outdoor seating.
He noted that the wrong Z-File number (only) was on the original agenda.
Chairman Strach stated Notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Northwest Herald on
May 30, 2019. A Cet4ificate ofPublication and Affidavit of Compliance with notice requirements
are on file in the City Clerk's Office.
Director of Economic Development gave the Staff report stating in 2015 the City adopted a
comprehensive amendment to the zoning ordinance to allow businesses to offer outdoor seating.
The City of McHenry often receives requests from local food service establishments regarding the
opportunities for expanding their service area, as weather permits, by providing outdoor seating
for patrons. The outdoor seating regulations of the McHenry Zoning Ordinance were presented.
Director Martin further stated several businesses have recently approached the City about outdoor
seating and want to serve food and/or alcohol outside but the only way to do this is to obtain a
Planning and Zoning Commission
June 19, 2019
Page 2
conditional use permit. In some cases these businesses simply want to put one to two tables
outside. Staff believes this can be accomplished by requiring the same barrier that is normally
required through the conditional use process on the amendment without going through the
conditional use process, which would save the businesses time and money and allow them to serve
food and alcohol outside without seeking a conditional use permit. Director Martin stated Staff
believes amending this ordinance is the best course of action and would be the same type of
condition that is placed upon any other restaurant that serves food and/or alcohol outside while
also making the process easier for future restaurants.
Director Martin stated the specific provisions that would need to be amended include:
g. Prepalation and service of food outside is prohibited;
h. Service and consumption of alcohol outside is prohibited.
Director of Economic Development Martin stated it is Staffls recommendation to delete the above
provisions in Article III General District Regulations Section H. Operations within Enclosed
Buildings Outdoor Seating, and replace them with the following:
"The Building Commissioner may grant permission for the sale, dispensing, and consumption of
alcoholic liquor and/or food in an outdoor area adjacent to the licensed building. Except as
provided herein, the area for which permission is issued shall be subject to review by the Building
Commissioner and shall be of a secure, permanent nature and shall facilitate access in the area
only through the licensed premises or through an occupied host or hostess station. Additional exits
with latchable gates may be required to facilitate emergency egress from the premises. Said
additional exits shall be self -closing with latchable gates or doors approved by the City, and
marked by signs stating "EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY."'
Chairman Shach invited questions and/or comments from the Coumrission.
Comrissioner Gurda asked for clarification on the requirements in regard to some of the
restaurants in town. Discussion ensued particularly in regard to the enclosed outside seating areas.
Commissioner
Sobotta suggested a change to the wording "secure, permanent nature" to perhaps
"permanent or temporary nahue" in the proposed text LIMA eX to make the ordinance a little more
flexible.
Commissioner Doherty suggested allowing service of food but not alcohol at all outside seating
establishments. Discussion ensued regarding that being the intent of the proposed wording and
whether or not a barrier of a permanent nature is required. Commissioner Doherty also suggested
adding "table umbrellas", specifically, in item "p. - tables, chairs and other related items utilized
in conjunction with an outdoor seating area shall be appropriately secured in the case of high
winds" as specifically needing to be secured. Discussion also ensued in regard to item "r. - outdoor
seating on public property must be removed during hours that it is not being utilized" and whether
or not outdoor seating actually needed to be removed when not in use.
Planning and Zoning Commission
June 19, 2019

Commissioner Strach asked for discussion on whether a barrier is required and whether it needs to
be permanent or temporary and whether or not seating needed to be removed when not utilized.
Commissioner Thacker stated he would like to see the amendment be less prohibitive to
businesses. Director Martin concurred he would like to see the ordinance be less prohibitive as
well.
Discussion ensued regarding the least prohibitive, yet safe way to amend the recommendation
while allowing the Building Commissioner authority to permit the final approval of the safety
consideration of any outdoor seating area proposed.
Chairman Strach opened the floor to questions and continents from the audience. There was
nobody in attendance who wished to address the Commission regarding this matter.
Chairman Strach closed the public comment portion of the hearing at 8:01 pnr.
Motion by Lehman seconded by Gurda to recommend to the City Council with regard to File No.
Z-950, deletion of the following provisions in Article III General District Regulations Section H.
Operations within Enclosed Buildings Outdoor Seating:
g. Preparation and service of food outside is prohibited; and
h. Service and consumption of alcohol outside is prohibited;
And replacing them with the following language, as amended:
"The Building Commissioner may grant permission for the sale, dispensing, and consumption of
alcoholic liquor and/or food in an outdoor area adjacent to the licensed building. Except as
provided herein, the area for which permission is issued shall be subject to review by the Building
Commissioner and shall be of a secure nature and shall facilitate access in the area only through
the licensed premises or through an occupied host or hostess station."
And to amend current item p. from:
• Tables, chairs and other related items utilized in conjunction with an outdoor seating area
shall be appropriately secured in the case of high winds; to
• Tables, chairs, table umbrellas and other related items utilized in conjunction with an
outdoor seating area shall be appropriately secured in the case of high winds.

Discussion of Various Amendments and Updates to the City of McHenry Comprehensive
Plan and Development Policies and City of McHenry Future Land Use Map
(Focus on Historical Areas)
• Discuss proposed Main and Green Street and Riverside Drive Historical areas
• Discuss Design Guidelines for Residential Teardowns and Infill Parcels
Chairman Strach called the discussion to order at 8:12 p.m. regarding Various Amendments and
Updates to the City of McHenry Comprehensive Plan and Development Policies and City of
McHenry Future Land Use Map.
Director of Economic Development Martin presented a map prepared by HR Green depicting the
most historic parts of Main and Green Streets and Riverside Drive. The shaded portion of the map
presented was not necessarily historic but may be integral into fitting into the neighborhood. He
proposed including design guidelines if any of these properties were altered or if any of the lots
were vacant to ensure they fit into the neighborhood after building or renovation work is done and
finalized. Director Martin asked for discussion to center on the general nature of the location of
the shaded areas and the designs and whether the Commission believed they were appropriate. He
also opined the map and guidelines give a general outline of what could be included in these
"historic" areas, not naming them or regulating them as a historic district. He also offered if it is
determined the shaded areas are too extensive staff will have the map revised.
Director Martin stated it is the goal to gain acceptance of the Commission of the general layout of
the historic areas along Main and Green Streets and Riverside Drive and a consensus on utilizing
the design guidelines. He presented the Design Guidelines for Residential Teardowns and Infill
Parcels.
Chairman Strach invited questions and/or comments of discussion from the Conunission.
Commissioner Doherty asked if zoning guidelines were going to be addressed by this historic area
and was looking for clarification. Director Martin stated these are proposed as guidelines and
they are not regulatory as a historic district would be. Chairman Strach gave an example of an
Infill lot on Waukegan Road and how the Design Guidelines presented would provide guidelines
so building design on the lot would be more in line with the character of the historic neighborhood
rather than a modern or contemporary style.
Planning and zoning Commission

Commissioner Doherty questioned whether commercial properties should be included. Discussion
ensued, particularly regarding distinction between residential vs commercial properties or using
location only rather than zoning distinctions.
Commissioner Strach opened discussion on the Design guidelines presented. Discussion ensued.
The recommendation of the commission is to direct Director Martin to amend the map ending the
historic area on Main Street at the railroad tracks and to also amend the map continuing the historic
area on Riverside Drive to Washington Street. All commissioners were directed to look over the
design guidelines and bring the discussion back for direction on whether or not to utilize them at
a future meeting.
Chairman Strach closed the discussion at 9:00 p.m

Lots 20=43; 71-83; and 139451 of the Final Plat of Subdivision of Patriot Estates (Duplex
Lots) dated January 9, 2006, and recorded in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds,

Chahman Strach called the Public Hearing to order at 7:34 p.m. regarding File No. Z-952 a request
for a Text amendment to the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance: Article IV. General Residential

and 139-151 of the Final Plat of Subdivision of Patriot Estates (Duplex Lots) dated January 9,

Chairman Strach stated Notice of the Public
Hearing
was published in
the Northwest Herald on
June 22, 2019. A Certificate of Publication is
on vilethe
City Clerk's
Office.
Director of Economic Development gave the Staffreport stating due to an error in the City's zoning
map several years ago the Patriot Estates Duplex Neighborhood was planned to be built with an
incorrect setback, RS-3 setbacks instead of the correct RM-2 setback. Cunat Development, the
builder, designed a home product which did not meet the side yard setback, and when the error
was discovered some lots were already built and incorrect setbacks were not caught, and other
unimproved lots need to accommodate the housing product and adjusted setback. Director Martin
clarified this error only impacts the interior side yard setback.
Director Martin stated this request was presented as a text amendment to the zoning ordinance due
to the number• of lots involved, approximately 40-50, which would exclude them from meeting the
side yard setback, 15'. of the RM-2 district, which is the correct zoning district. The RS-3 interior
side yard setback is 10 feet or 10% of the lot width, whichever is less. A plat was presented as an
exhibit to an ordinance, also presented, indicating the side yard setback for each lot in the
neighborhood and a notation would be made in the zoning ordinance that these specific lots do not

July 10, 2019
Page 2
have to meet the required side yard setback of the RM-2 district. The minimum side yard setback
proposed is 7 feet instead of 15 feet. With this variance of 8 feet all lots would be conforming.
Director Martin stated Staff recommends approval of a Text Amendment and Notation to Article
IV, Table 4 of the zoning ordinance as presented.
There were no questions or comments from the Commissioners.
Chairman Strach opened the floor to questions and comments from the audience. There was
nobody in attendance who wished to address the Commission regarding this matter. Chairman
Strach closed the public comment portion of the hearing at 7:37 pm.
Motion by Lehman seconded by Walsh to recommend to the City Council with regard to File No.

Applicant
Dennis L. and Theresa M. Harms

Requested Action
Zoning Map Amendment to A-1 Agriculture upon annexation and a Conditional Use Permit to
allow a Landscape Business with Outdoor Storage
Site Information
Location and Size of Property
The subject property is located at 4727 W Crystal Lake Road and consists of approximately 7.6
acres.
Comprehensive Plan Designation
Low -Density Residential
Crystal Lake Road Sub -Area Plan
Office/Low-Density Residential

as a garden center, farmstand, agritourism location and landscape and snowplowing business
with outdoor storage.

A-1 AGRICULTURE UPON ANNEXATION AND A
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A LANDSCAPE

CRYSTAL LAKE ROAD]
Staff Analysis
Zoning Map Amendment
The character of the area near the subject property consists of primarily residential land uses to
the north, south and east of the subject property. The property to the west is McHenry West
High School.
The applicant is not proposing to alter their business, which has been in existence for decades.
The proposed zoning map amendment is consistent with the development trend and satisfies all
the criteria outlined in Table 33. The subject property provides a logical extension to City
boundaries and the A-1 zoning is compatible with adjacent zoning and the uses the applicant has
on their site. The A-1 zoning permits by right: agriculture; agritourism, limited; dwellings,
farmstand; garden center; and greenhouse/nursery business. Staff has no concerns with this
request.
Conditional Use Permit
The applicant is seeking a conditional use permit to allow a landscape business with outdoor
storage. This is an activity that the applicant currently conducts as part of their normal business
operation. The A-1 zoning district in the City of McHenry requires a conditional use permit for
that use, however. Staff believes it is complimentary to the other business activities conducted
on -site and does not see any issues with the landscape business nor the outdoor storage. This
does not now, and staff does not foresee, any adverse impacts to adjacent property owners in
the future.
CONSISTENCY POLICY
Zoning map amendments shall be made in accordance with and consistent with a comprehensive
plan. When adopting or rejecting any zoning map amendment, the Planning and Zoning
Commission shall recommend and the City Council shall also approve a statement describing
whether its action is consistent with an adopted comprehensive plan and any other officially
adopted plan or document that is applicable, and explain why it considers the action taken to be
reasonable and in the public interest.
This zoning map amendment is NOT consistent with the Cites Comprehensive Plan, Crystal Lake
Road Sub -Area Plan and Future Land Use Map, however it is reasonable and in the public interest.
The A-1 land use category is a newly adopted text amendment to the City's zoning ordinance. By
way of reference the City's Comprehensive Plan was last amended in 2008 and the Crystal Lake
Road Sub -Area Plan was completed in 2006. The A-1 zoning classification makes the most sense

in this instance and fits the uses on the subject property; therefore it is reasonable and in the
public interest.
Staff Recommendation Prior to Public Hearing

of a
Zoning Map Amendment
to A-1 Agriculture upon annexation to the City of

1. Tzaffic
Any adverse impact of types or volumes of traffic flow not otherwise typical in the zoning district has

Any adverse effects of noise, glare, odor, dust, waste disposal, blockage of light or air, or other adverse
environmental effects of a type or degree not characteristic of permitted uses in the zoning district have
been appropriately controlled.
There are no anticipated environmental nuisances since the properties have beenused as afarm stand

3. Neighborhood Chatacter
The proposed use will fit harmoniously with the existing natural or man-made character of its
surroundings and with permitted uses in the zoning district. The use will not have undue deleterious

least 45 years
without complaint.

County.
