Meeting Called to Order
Mr. Crouch welcomed everyone and called the meeting was to order at 7:06 p.m.
Roll Call
Roll call was taken. A quorum was established.
Citizen's Comments
There were no guests in attendance so Mr. Crouch said comments could be kept to a
minimum.
Previous Minutes
November 17, 2010 minutes were in the packet, along with the January 26, 2011 minutes.
Mr. Crouch said they will be taken separately and asked for any additions or corrections
to the minutes and Mr. Baker stated he could actually approve both sets of minutes. Mr.
Crouch repeated he would like to take them separately. Mr. Green moved to accept the
November 17, 2010 minutes as written. Mr. Crouch acknowledged the acceptance as so
moved; Mr. Baker seconded the motion and Mr. Crouch asked if there was any
discussion on the motion. There was none so a vote to accept was made and
unanimously accepted and the motion was carried. It was later noted by Mr. Crouch that
in the title of the November 17, 2010 minutes "Commission"was misspelled. (This has
now been corrected.)
Mr. Crouch then asked for any additions or corrections to the January 26, 2011 minutes.
Mr. Green said he had a minor correction- on the Agendas, there is a place for Citizen's
Comments and this is currently not being reflected in the minutes. (This has now been
corrected.)
Mr. Green then asked for a motion to approve as amended to accept the January 26, 2011
minutes as written with this addition. Mr. Crouch acknowledged the acceptance as so
moved; Mr. Baker seconded the motion and Mr. Crouch asked if there was any
discussion on the motion. There was none so a vote to accept was made and
unanimously accepted and the motion was carried.
Mr. Couch then turned the meeting over to Ms. Noble.
Ms. Noble opened the meeting by stating there have been some minor changes to:
Chapter 2: 10-2-2: RULES: Item H (Page 3)Added the word"not"to read:
`Words or terms contained in this Title which are not defined hereinafter, shall
assume definitions as prescribed in the most current edition of the Merriam-
Webster unabridged dictionary.'
Chapter 2: 10-2-3: DEFINITIONS: (Page 16) Removed the following sentence
on RECREATIONAL VEHICLE: `Recreational vehicles shall include any mobile
structure designed for temporary occupancy,but shall exclude mobile or
manufactured homes.' This was all from the meeting in November.
Chapter 6. There were some changes from the last discussion to reflect comments that
were given by the City Attorney regarding the R.L.U.I.P.I.A. Also, there were categories
added for welding shops and alternative renewable energy systems. For Religious
Institutions, those are now all Special Uses for Residential district and they were added as
a permitted use in"O" and permitted all throughout the business districts, special uses
and manufacturing district. That was per the city attorney's advice so this way no special
preference is being shown to other community gathering facilities and churches.
Toward the end of the chart, Ms.Noble added welding shops (as mentioned by Mr. Baker
at the last meeting) and the Alternative categories; under uses, she added Wind Power
and Solar Energy. Mr. Green questioned if these would be revised in the ordinances for
consistent verbiage. Ms. Noble told him these are the categories of the types of uses of
Wind Power energy.
Mr. Green asked why the free-standing panels weren't special use. Ms. Noble explained
right now they are considered"street furniture" described as `very long panels, very tall
panels that can be used in streetscapes.' She explained that they were "place holding"
and further discussion to define will be forthcoming.
Chapter 7—Dimensional and Bulk Requirements
The minimum rear yard setback was changed from none to 20' for open space
based on committee discussion.
Religious institutions had a maximum height requirement added (refers to steeple
or highest point of a roof apparatus [design feature?]).
Conservation Design District(CDD) was added to the chart.
There was also a request about the maximum 35' height in the Downtown area,
accompanied by a number of emails on the subject. Mr. Baker agreed with Mr.
Neyer that they think the height should be higher. Mr. Green never heard of the
Downtown Business Plan when he moved here. He said it should be stricken
from Chapter 8. Mr. Crouch said he read all of the emails concerning this matter
and did not come away with a compelling argument in favor of 35'.
There was much discussion about this matter, TIF districts and Zoning. Mr.
Millen brought up a discussion on prevailing wages on TIF projects with
reference with the upcoming canoe chute and possible growth.
The subject of the firefighter's ability to go beyond 80' was mentioned as now
antiquated as they can go much higher. Mr. Crouch said the 80' height was
considered `forward thinking' rather than looking at things in the past and
suggested repealing that height limitation. Mr. Green offered to complicate things
even more by suggesting keeping it a block either side of Rt. 47 to give `relief on
either side of the river to keep the view of the old, historic buildings.
Mr. Baker brought up the historical district that the committee wanted to keep in
mind and suggested keeping the height restriction at 80'. Ms. Noble stated she
was not happy with the current format of Chapter 7 and will be re-doing it. That
concluded comments on Chapter 7.
Chapter 8: PUD's
Ms. Noble stated the issue with the PUD is after her discussion with the City
Engineer. He, as well as the City Attorney, had some comments that have been
added and incorporated with the comments from the committee's last meeting,
and the revisions are noted in the red-line copy. The City Attorney's major
concern had to do with the reference to Comprehensive Plan. There seems to be a
feeling that the Comprehensive Plan contains some things that aren't vision-
oriented for the City. There is a feeling that the Comprehensive Plan shouldn't be
the only document. Ms. Noble is of the opinion that it is a fluid document that
can be changed, amended, etc. She noted there are areas that need to be amended
to reflect some changes that have occurred; some oversights that happened,
especially in 2005 along Benjamin Street near the Kendallwood Estates.
Ms. Noble said that specific reference to `Comprehensive Plan' has been changed
throughout the document to "Planning Objectives" or"Future Planning Goals" if
the committee is comfortable with it. Mr. Crouch asked what it means, and Ms.
Noble said that instead of referring to a specific document, reference would be
made to a nebulous document. She reiterated it was only an opinion and if the
committee wanted to keep it as `Comprehensive Plan,' that could be done.
Mr. Green asked where this appeared and Ms.Noble pointed it out in:
Page 73, Chapter 8, 10-13-1 Purpose and Intent, Line 10: `which is consistent
with the planning objectives and intent of the zoning ordinance.'
Mr. Green and Mr. Baker noted"Comprehensive Plan" still appeared in several
other locations of the document. Ms. Noble noted another change on:
Page 76, Chapter 8, 10-13-5 Pre-Application Conference,A., 1. `Whether the
proposed Planned Unit Development will be in conformity with the planning
and other development goals and policies of the United City of Yorkville.'
Mr. Crouch brought up the possible legalities of such loose language and it was
discussed by the committee. At this time, there was no consensus from the group.
Page 73, Chapter 8, 10-13-1: Purpose and Intent,Ms. Noble said the City
Engineer changed:
D. `Provide public access and pedestrian connectivity via bicycle/recreational
paths, sidewalks and/or alternative modes of transportation' which he
thought was more specific and less general. The City Engineer also added:
K. Provide/enhance regional public infrastructure such as transportation,
water/sanitary service, storm drainage.
Page 77, Chapter 8, 10-13-5: CONCEPT PUD PLAN:
B. The applicant shall submit twenty (20) paper copies folded to fit in a 10" x
13" envelope and two (2) CD's containing electronic copies (pdf and .dwg
format) of the following documentation: The DWG ("drawing") format refers
to files that are stored using two and three dimensional design data and metadata.
This file format is typically associated with AutoCAD software and is compatible
with GIS software. Files saved as .dwg can later be printed out true-to-scale.
There was then discussion on the number of paper copies currently required and
Mr. Crouch suggested looking forward to going paperless and eliminating the two
(2) CD's and instead request electronic copies. Mr. Green agreed.
Page 79—Requirements of a Concept Plan
Ms.Noble stated that in the private sector, a lot of the things the City was asking
for at the concept plan level is too detailed. She proposed removing "1-u" from it
and just move them under the Preliminary Plan submittal requirements because
the committee wants the concept plan review to be more general in nature.
Page 88—"Joint Review"
Ms.Noble then recommended instead of going to Park Board; then going to Plan
Commission to just do a joint review with both of them present. They would then
ask for a recommendation for approval (with conditions) or a recommendation for
denial. Mr. Baker, Mr. Crouch nor Mr. Green liked the idea of a joint review
meeting all at once because of the logistics of getting everyone in the same place
at the same time. Mr. Crouch asked if there was a reason for changing it and Ms.
Noble said to streamline. Further discussion ensued and Ms. Noble advised them
that if they wanted to, they could amend this section to not have Park Board be a
part of the process. Mr. Crouch, Mr. Baker and Mr. Green did not feel that a joint
review with Park Board would be effective. Ms. Noble then nixed the idea of a
"Joint Review Board."
Page 91 —Zoning Commission Recommendation
Ms. Noble to change those major modification percentages from 10%to 5%was
done.
Page 94—Development Standards and Design Criteria
Ms. Noble kept as a reference rather than Smart Code Technique. Mr. Crouch felt
that was a better way to go.
Ms.Noble then stated at the next meeting, scheduled for March 23, 2011, they
will look at the revisions to chapter 8 and then move on to the AG district.
Mr. Crouch made a motion to adjourn. It was seconded by Mr. Baker. Since
there was no discussion, a verbal vote of"Yes"was taken and the meeting was
adjourned at 8:45pm.
Minutes respectfully submitted by:

CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator
<LE ��'� Date: March 18, 2011
Subject: Zoning Ordinance Update—OLD & NEW BUSINESS ITEMS
Per the discussion and recommendation of the Zoning Commission during the February
22nd meeting and a further review by the City Attorney, the following subsequent revisions of the
previously reviewed chapters and a revised new chapter are proposed for consideration. Please
note, in some cases, only the pages that have been revised are attached:
Chapter 6: Permitted and Special Uses
• Page 6 has been revised regarding the alternative/renewable energy systems.
Additional pages relating to wind and solar power have been prepared by Staff to
illustrate the proposed formatting of the chapter and illustrations.
Chapter 7: Dimensional and Bulk Regulations
• Dimensional and Bulk Regulations table was revised regarding Religious
Institutions maximum height requirements footnote where the word "apparatus"
was removed and now reads "steeple or apex of th e h igh est poin t of a rooftop
feature."
• Per the request of the Zoning Commission, staff has revised the reference to the
35 feet Downtown Height Limit Area to now refer to the "Downtown Overlay
District Boundaries" which is now proposed with a 45' or 4 stories maximum
height restriction.
Chapter 8: Planned Unit Developments (PUD)
• Additional revisions have been made to the Planned Unit Development chapter
upon further review and consideration by the City Attorney and comments from
the Zoning Commission. The revisions are notated in the redlined copy of the
revised chapter, and a clean copy version is also provided for your convenience.
Chapter 9: A-1 Agricultural District
• The proposed revisions to the A-1 Agricultural District mainly update the list of
permitted and special uses for the district based upon the previously revised
Chapter 6 table. Also, the incorporation of modern adaptive reuse opportunities
for marginal agricultural land, or lands in transition between redevelopment, is
proposed. (An article from a recent local news periodical regarding agricultural
land is also attached for your reference).

10-13-1: PURPOSE AND INTENT:
Planned Unit Developments are unique and differ substantially from conventional subdivisions and
therefore require administrative processing as s"Special Uses"under this Title.Planned Unit Developments
are a complex type of Special Use, potentially consisting of various land uses and design elements,
requiring the establishment of more specific procedures, standards and exceptions from the strict
application of the zoning district regulations to guide the recommendations of the Plan Commission and the
action of the City Council. The purpose of this chapter,therefore,is to provide for an alternative zoning
procedure under which land can be developed or redeveloped with innovation, increased amenities and
creative environmental and architectural design than would be possible to achieve under the otherwise
standard zoning district regulations while being for i ative developments that Provide .,aloe to «1°
eonmnunity over the conventional zoning a:..«.iet and...1 ieh is eon4stent general compliance with the
eomprehensive-plan-planning objectives and intent of the zoning ordinance. Planned unit de elop.,ents
(PUD)afe in4eaded to eneettrage the most ifnaginati,,,e and best possible design of building feffos and sitte
p4anning for-traets of land where iinitafy plans weeld best adapt to tepegraphie and ether natufal features of
sue' -sites-Under this procedure,well planned residential,industrial/manufacturing,commercial and other
types of land uses,individually or in combination,may be developed with design flexibility allowing for
full utilization of the topographical and environmental characteristics of the site.
Planned Unit dDevelopments must have an approved development plan which provides for a unified
design,contiguity between various elements and be environmentally compatible with the surrounding area.
There should be an increased benefit They-s ° 'a"°°°° ° °'°°°F°°'°fF°'upon the health,safety and
general welfare of the people of the eity up blic and particularly, in the immediate surroundings, than
developments built in conformity with standard the underlying district regulations. If building density is
increased above densities allowable by the zoning district in which the use would be permitted on a
particular portion of a PUD;then the amount of open space,retention of existing vegetation,buffer areas,
73
new landscape, public commons, community open space, and parks shall be evaluated for proportionate
increase for the remainder of the PUD.
The Planned Unit Development is not intended to be a mechanism solely used for the allowance of
increased densities or as a means of circumventing the bulk regulations or zoning standards under this Title,
rather a lanned unit developmentPlanned Unit Development-distrie4-shall generally provide attributes in
excess of conventional city zoning,building and other land use requirements such as,but not limited to the

F. Incorporating a consistent architectural theme which is unique to the specific site and surrounding
community through the use of building materials, signage and way-finding standards and-as well as
design elements. Generic corporate architecture and big box designs are strongly discouraged but not
prohibited.Uses should be designed according to the limitation of the site rather than the removal of the
limitations. Specific design details such as roof parapets, architectural details, varying roof heights,
pitches and materials and building colors and materials should be addressed;

10-13-1: PURPOSE AND INTENT:
Planned Unit Developments are unique and differ substantially from conventional subdivisions and
therefore require administrative processing as"Special Uses"under this Title. Planned Unit Developments
are a complex type of Special Use, potentially consisting of various land uses and design elements,
requiring the establishment of more specific procedures, standards and exceptions from the strict
application of the zoning district regulations to guide the recommendations of the Plan Commission and the
action of the City Council. The purpose of this chapter, therefore, is to provide for an alternative zoning
procedure under which land can be developed or redeveloped with innovation, increased amenities and
creative environmental and architectural design than would be possible to achieve under the otherwise
standard zoning district regulations while being in general compliance with the planning objectives and
intent of the zoning ordinance. Under this procedure, well planned residential, industrial/manufacturing,
commercial and other types of land uses, individually or in combination, may be developed with design
flexibility allowing for full utilization of the topographical and environmental characteristics of the site.
Planned Unit Developments must have an approved development plan which provides for a unified design,
contiguity between various elements and be environmentally compatible with the surrounding area. There
should be an increased benefit upon the health, safety and general welfare of the public and particularly, in
the immediate surroundings,than developments built in conformity with the underlying district regulations.
If building density is increased above densities allowable by the zoning district in which the use would be
permitted on a particular portion of a PUD;then the amount of open space,retention of existing vegetation,
buffer areas, new landscape, public commons, community open space, and parks shall be evaluated for
proportionate increase for the remainder of the PUD.
The Planned Unit Development is not intended to be a mechanism solely used for the allowance of
increased densities or as a means of circumventing the bulk regulations or zoning standards under this Title,
73
rather a Planned Unit Development shall generally provide attributes in excess of conventional city zoning,
building and other land use requirements such as,but not limited to the following:
A. Providing a maximum choice of the overall living environment through a variety of type, design and
layout of residential structures, commercial and industrial buildings, office and research uses and
public facilities;
B.Demonstrating excellence in environmental design and the mitigation of land use factors or impacts;
C.Promoting a more useful pattern of dedicated open space and recreation areas incorporated as part of the
development plan and that is compatible with the immediate vicinity;
D. Provide public access and pedestrian connectivity via bicycle/recreational paths, sidewalks and/or
alternative modes of transportation.
E. Providing and or preserving substantial landscaping with emphasis given to streetscape areas, buffer
zones, and the provision of significant landscaping(in terms of size of landscape areas and quantity and
quality of landscape materials)within the developed portions of the site;
F. Incorporating a consistent architectural theme which is unique to the specific site and surrounding
community through the use of building materials, signage and way-finding standards as well as design
elements. Generic corporate architecture and big box designs are strongly discouraged but not
prohibited.Uses should be designed according to the limitation of the site rather than the removal of the
limitations. Specific design details such as roof parapets, architectural details, varying roof heights,
pitches and materials and building colors and materials should be addressed;
G. Retain, utilize and incorporate historic features on the project site into the overall project design, if
physically and economically feasible;and/or
H. Promote and strengthen the economic vitality and enhance the aesthetic qualities of unified large-scale
commercial developments.
I. Encourage high-quality planned industrial park environments and well-designed business centers for
single or multiple-tenant facilities.
J. Provide/enhance regional public infrastructure such as roadways, water/sanitary service, storm water
management objectives.

B. Applicability: These standards and established criteria shall apply to all newly constructed buildings
and sites within a Planned Unit Development. Each proposed development will be evaluated on its
compliance with the established regulations/guidelines contained herein.
C. Density: The density,minimum lot size and minimum setback dimension for each use proposed within
a PUD shall be determined by the conventional zoning classification which would permit the proposed
use unless a variance is specifically requested as part of the Special Use request.
D. Use Regulations: Planned Unit Developments may be comprised of a single-type of land use or a
mixture of land uses when applicable and when different intensity of land uses are appropriately
buffered or separated.

planning principles for securing a unified development and that due consideration is given to
the openness normally afforded by intervening streets and alleys.
c. The yards for principal buildings along the periphery of the development shall be not less in
width or depth than required for permitted uses in the district in which the planned unit
development is included and the plan is developed to afford adequate protection to neighboring
properties, i.e. fire protection and sufficient area needed for utility easements, as recommended
by the Plan Commission and approved by the City Council.
