TO A PORTION OF A PROPERTY LOCATED ADJACENT TO AND EAST OF

WHEREAS, a petition has been filed by Concord Homes, Inc. requesting Zoning

Park and C-5, Highway Commercial District to the property legally described on "Exhibit

WHEREAS, a petition has been filed by Concord Homes, Inc. requesting a

WHEREAS, a public hearing on said petitions was held before the Planning and

statute; and
WHEREAS, as a result of said hearing, the Planning and Zoning Commission did
recommend to the City Council the granting of the requested Zoning Map Amendments
and said Variance; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the evidence and recommendations
from the Planning and Zoning Commission and finds that the approval of the requested
Zoning Map Amendments and Variance are consistent with the objectives of the City of
McHenry Zoning Ordinance to protect the public health, safety, morals and general
welfare of its residents.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF MCHENRY, MCHENRY COUNTY, ILLINOIS, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: That the SUBJECT PROPETY be granted Zoning Map
Amendments to RM-2, High -Density Multi -Family Residential District, BP, Business
Park and C-5, Highway Commercial District for the SUBJECT PROPERTY.
SECTION 2: That the VARIANCE PROPERTY be granted a Variance to allow
multiple buildings on a zoning lot with the condition that no more than twelve (12) units
shall be constructed within a single building.
SECTION 3: In granting said Zoning Map Amendments, the City Council finds
that the requirements of Table 33 of the Zoning Ordinance have been met in that:
1. The requested zoning classifications are compatible with the existing uses
and zoning of property in the environs;
2. The requested zoning classifications are supported by the trend of
development in the general area;
3. The requested zoning classifications are consistent with the objectives of
the City of McHenry Comprehensive Plan; and
4. The requested classifications promote the public interest.
SECTION 4: In granting said Variance allowing multiple buildings on a zoning lot,
the City Council finds that the requirements of Table 32 of the Zoning Ordinance have
been met in that:
1. Special circumstances exist that are peculiar 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.
2. The special circumstances referenced herein relate only to the physical
character of the land or building(s) for which the variance is sought, such
as dimension, topography, or soil conditions. They do not concern any
business or activity the present or prospective owner or tenant carries on,
or seeks to carry on, therein, not to the personal, business, or financial
circumstances of such owner or tenant or any other party with interest in
the property.
3. The special circumstances that are the basis for the variance have not
resulted from any act of the applicant or of any other party with interest in
the property.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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 the variance the applicant will be deprived of any reasonable use
or enjoyment of the property.
6
7. 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.
8. The granting of a Variance will be in harmony with the general purpose
and intent of the Zoning Ordinance and of the Comprehensive Plan of the
City, as viewed in light of any changed conditions since their adoption.
9. The Variance requested is the minimum required to provide the applicant
with reasonable use and enjoyment of the property.
SECTION 5: All Ordinances or parts thereof in conflict with the terms and
provisions hereof are hereby repealed to the extent of such conflict.
SECTION 6: This Ordinance shall be published in pamphlet form by and under
the authority of the corporate authorities of the City of McHenry, McHenry County,
Illinois.
SECTION 7: This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its
passage, approval, and publication in pamphlet form as provided by law.
