Roll Call Roll call was taken; a quorum was established. Committee Members in Attendance Jeff Baker Phil Haugen Michael Crouch Pete Huinker Greg Millen Gary Neyer City Officials in Attendance Krysti Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director Jason Engberg, Community Development Intern Citizen's Comments There were no citizens in attendance. Previous Minutes Chairman Crouch made a motion to approve the March 27, 2013 minutes. Mr. Baker moved to approve; seconded by Mr. Millen. There was no discussion on the motions; approved unanimously; motion carried. Mr. Crouch then turned the meeting over to Mr. Engberg to cover Old Business. Old Business: Mr. Engberg addressed how he changed how dimensions were measured; the lengths remained the same distance. He added graphics to illustrate how the measurements are done. Mr. Crouch asked how often varying parking patterns occurs because it's rare to see such a mixture in the same community. Ms. Noble said they are beginning to see more of a mixture. Jason included some basic design standards that were consistent with other municipalities. 10-16-8: Off-Street Loading Regulations and Requirements: Mr. Baker asked to look a little closer at the minimum distances for loading/unloading to avoid disrupting traffic flow. After some discussion, Mr. Crouch suggested coming back to this at a later time. The assumption was made that the terms "commercial" and"industrial" are interchangeable and apply to both. Mr. Engberg then stated that the edge of the driveway shall be a minimum of 250' when measured from the driveway edge to the nearest intersecting street right-of-way line. Ms. Noble wanted to clarify if they were going to allow loading berths in the front yard or make provisions for it. Mr. Baker said they would need to categorize everything specific to zoning (manufacturing/industrial/commercial, B-3 Service, etc.) Ms. Noble said she would break it out from manufacturing and commercial and maybe put in some suggested orientations for loading docks. She said she didn't want to "zone out" development with too many restrictions. Mr. Baker suggested including a paragraph that says something like, "Due to lot configurations, things may change on a parcel-by-parcel basis." He thought maybe the city attorney would have adequate verbiage. Mr. Neyer pointed out, on page 11, that A. and B. were identical; Mr. Engberg said he will research. As far as Eating and Drinking establishments, Mr. Crouch asked for more research on this item to see if it was necessary. 10-16-5: Vehicle Stacking Requirements. This is a new item that was previously discussed about adding them. He came up with the basic uses you would need them for, along with some rules. Ms. Noble pointed out this has been a challenge with McDonald's and Dairy Queen. Mickey D is re- configuring their drive up with dual driveways to avoid stacking vehicles on Route 34. Dairy Queen's problem is the turning radius was so tight the possibility of`bumping' another vehicle was present. Off-Street Parking Reduction for Bicycle Parking: Mr. Engberg also addressed a reduction for the off-street bicycle parking. After checking surrounding communities, he came up with: "The reduction in the number of automobile parking spaces shall be reduced by no more than one (1) space for every two (2) bicycle parking space,but no more than twenty(20)percent of the total required spaces. Ms.Noble added what would be the trigger for the city to require Land Bank Parking; the first suggestion was for it to be at the sole discretion of the city council. Everyone felt that was a little too general because there were no criteria or justification, so the committee was going to establish some triggers to establish additional parking (i.e. complaint driven). Mr. Crouch thinks standardization is good. New Business: Mr. Engberg then went on to new business. He said there were only a couple of requirements for fencing. Mr. Baker did not like the fact that fences erected in the front yard shall not exceed 3 1/2 feet in height and shall have at least 75 percent of their vertical surface plane open when viewed from a point perpendicular to that plane. He said it was too short to keep dogs from jumping over and didn't provide security if that was the intent. Mr. Crouch said there needed to be provisions for materials that could be used in the future (plastic; PVC; aluminum). The committee is going to clarify the terms "industrial" and"utilities." Mr. Crouch asked for a motion to adjourn. A motion was made and Mr. Baker seconded; all voted in favor. The meeting adjourned at 7:56 p.m. Minutes respectfully submitted by: Bonnie Olsem Administrative Secretary .is." C/i4, Memorandum J� 51 D EST. 0 1836 To: Zoning Ordinance Commission .� From: Jason Engberg, Planning Intern L� CC: Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director Bart Olson, City Administrator E Date: May 22, 2013 Subject: Zoning Ordinance Update—Notes Staff has prepared an updated Chapter 16: Off-Street Parking and Chapter 17: Fencing and Screening for the Yorkville Zoning Commission. The following revisions have been made: Chapter 16 • Design Standards — The drive-way lengths have been removed. After research and review, not many communities regulate this and it seems to be redundant with the setback bulk regulations. • Staff is still reviewing correct curb radii. By the time of the meeting on Wednesday, the correct numbers for residential, commercial, and industrial measurements should be correct. • Land Bank Parking Trigger—3 instances for termination have been added. • Loading Requirements for 20,000 sq. ft. eating establishments has been fixed. Chapter 17 • Completely redone and reformatted. Please look over these items and be ready to discuss at the Zoning Commission meeting. CHAPTER 16 Off-Street Parking 10-16-1: Purpose The purpose of this Chapter is to regulate off-street parking and loading areas on private property outside the public right- of-way. The regulations are intended to achieve the following: A. Relieve traffic congestion on streets by providing adequate, but not excessive, off-street parking; B. Encourage the use of alternate forms of transportation including bicycling,transit, walking, and carpooling; C. Avoid unnecessary conflicts between vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians; D. To minimize negative impacts on adjacent properties. 10-16-2: General Provisions A.Application The off-street parking and loading provisions in this Chapter shall apply to the following: New Development All new buildings, structures, and land uses established after the adoption of this Chapter must comply with the parking and loading regulations herein. However, if a building permit has been issued prior to adoption and construction has begun within one (1)year of the effective date,then following the parking and loading regulations are not required. Expansion When an existing building or structure increases in intensity or is expanded,the number of parking spaces and/or loading facilities must be modified to meet the parking and loading regulations. The number of parking spaces and/or loading facilities that must be modified will be determined by the unit of measurement specified for that land use herein. However, no building or structure lawfully erected or use lawfully established prior to the effective date shall be required to provide additional parking spaces and/or loading facilities unless the aggregate increase in units of measurements is greater than fifteen percent(15%). New Use Whenever the existing use of a building or structure shall hereafter be changed to a new use, parking or loading facilities shall be provided as required for such new use. However, if the said building or structure was erected prior to the effective date hereof, additional parking or loading facilities are mandatory only in the amount by which the requirements for the new use would exceed those for the existing use if the latter were subject to the parking and loading provisions of this Title. B. Existing Parking and Loading Facilities Accessory off-street parking or loading facilities which are located on the same lot as the building or use served and were in existence on the effective date shall not be required to reduce the amount of parking and loading facilities regulated in this Title. A change of occupancy is not a change of use unless the new occupant is considered in a different use classification. C. Damage or Destruction If any building, structure, or use that is in existence on the effective date is somehow damaged by fire, collapse, explosion or another cause and is reconstructed or repaired, the parking and loading facilities may be rebuilt to the original form. This shall be allowed only if the original building or use is repaired to its original form and keeps its original use. In no case shall it be necessary to restore or maintain parking or loading facilities in excess of those required by this Title for equivalent new uses in construction.

Purpose Shared parking is the use of a parking space by vehicles generated by two or more individual land uses without conflict or encroachment. The ability to share spaces is the result of two conditions: • Vehicles accumulate at different times; either by hours, days, or seasons • Relationship of the uses allows for multiple visits in one auto trip Shared parking for multiple uses creates better pedestrian connections and reduces reliance on private vehicles because multiple trips may be taken by walking. Shared parking is encouraged for the benefits it provides as long as the use follows the above conditions and the standards listed below. [ United City of Yorkville Zoning Ordinance ] [ 6 ] Chapter 16: Off-Street Parking B.Shared Parking Uses Table 10.16.04 The uses listed in Table 10.16.04 are uses that are Shared Parking Uses generally considered prime candidates for shared parking. While these are considered the main uses to have shared Day Time/Weekday Uses Night Time/Weekend Uses parking, the Zoning Administrator has the final authority Banks Auditoriums on what uses may or may not share parking regardless if the use is listed in Table 10.16.04 or not. Offices Churches C. Standards Personal Service Shops Bars 1.

Public Uses Window/Kiosk [ United City of Yorkville Zoning Ordinance ] [ 7 ] Chapter 16: Off-Street Parking 10-16-6: Bicycle Parking The purpose of this section is to provide sufficient safe and convenient bicycle parking to encourage bicycling as a form of transportation, reducing traffic congestion, air pollution, wear and tear on roads, and use of fossil fuels, while fostering healthy physical activity. A.Types of Parking The following types of bicycle parking shall be allowed: Short Term Parking Bicycle Rack A bicycle rack is a device that is capable of supporting a bicycle in a stable position that secures the bicycle with at least two points of contact. A single rack provides two parking spots. The rack shall be no taller than three (3)feet tall and no less than eighteen (18) inches in length. Bicycle Shelter A bicycle shelter is a covered parking area and provides all-weather protection. The shelter should be designed to hold many bicycles. It is preferred that the shelter be close to other forms of transportation to encourage bicycle riding throughout the city. Long Term Parking Bicycle Locker A bicycle locker provides an all-weather, high security, and long term parking solution. The enclosure should be made out of durable material that will keep the bicycle safe from weather or vandalism. The locker must be able to be locked to prevent theft and it must be able to be unlocked by the user for easy access. It is preferred that bicycle lockers are placed near other forms of transportation to encourage bicycle riding throughout the city. Bicycle Station A bicycle station provides the highest level of service for long term parking. The station is intended to be a regional hub for bicycles B;�ycles in the area and it is expected for the station to provide services to cyclists. These services may include but are not limited to repair, lockers, showers, food and beverages, rental, and other storage facilities. [ United City of Yorkville Zoning Ordinance ] [ 8 ] Chapter 16: Off-Street Parking B. Off-Street Parking Reduction for Bicycle Parking A reduction in the number of off-street parking spaces required shall be permitted for the provision of bicycle parking provided that: • No fee is required for using the bicycle parking made available; • When calculation of the maximum number of reduced parking spaces results in a fraction,the resulting number shall be rounded to the next highest integer. The reduction in the number of automobile parking spaces shall be reduced by no more than one (1) space for every two (2) bicycle parking space, but no more than twenty (20) percent of the total required spaces. This provision is applicable to all land type uses except to Single-Unit Residential and Two-Unit Residential. 10-16-7: LAND BANKED PARKING FACILITIES Land banking allows for designating a portion of land on a site that would be required for parking to be held and preserved as open space, rather than constructed as parking.This reduces the amount of impervious surface on a site for developments which otherwise would not have enough parked vehicles to fill the minimum required parking stalls, or "bank"the spaces until such time capacity warrants their construction. A. Standards The Zoning Board of Appeals may permit land banking of up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the required parking spaces through the variance process, subject to the following. 1. Sufficient evidence is provided by the applicant that supports the reduced parking needs. 2. Approval of a Land bank parking plan which illustrates the area proposed for land banking of parking spaces in an area suitable for parking at a future time. 3. Landscaping of the land banked area must be in full compliance of the zoning regulations and, at a minimum, landscaped with turf.As a result of the site plan review process,the Zoning Board of Appeals may require additional landscaping of the land banked area. 4. The land banked area cannot be used for any other use and must be part of the same zoning lot and all under the same ownership. 5. As part of the variance process, the applicant must show the area to be banked on the overall site plan and marked as "Land Banked Future Parking." B. Land Bank Plans Required The owner of the property making a land bankgg st shall submit a detailed land banked parking plan for review and approval by the Zoning Board of Appeals. The land banked parking plan shall show both full compliance with the parking regulations of Title 10 Zoning, Chapter 16 Off-Street Parking and Loading, and the land bank area showing the reduced number of parking spaces. C.Termination of Land Bank The City Council shall have the right in its discretion to require the property owner or successor, to construct all or a portion of the land banked parking facilities. There are three instances for termination: Land Bank Parki • The intensity of the use is increased • The type of use changes • There is an addition to the propeerty or building The Community Development Director will provide notice to the owner that the land banked parking facilities must be constructed and completed within one (1)year from the date of the notice.

G. Special Uses For special uses other than prescribed hereinafter, loading berths adequate in number and size to serve such use, as determined by the Community Development Director, shall be provided. H. Computation of Number of Required Off-Street Loading Spaces If in determining the number of off street loading berths as required by this Title,the computation results in a requirement of a fractional berth, any one-half(1/2) or more shall be round to the nearest whole number and counted as one loading berth.
