Presentation: None Minutes for Correction/Approval: August 5, 2008 The minutes were approved as read. Items Recommended by Plan Commission for Approval: 1. PC 2008-18 Richard Marker Associates — Heartland Center Special Use Request for a Drive Through Facility Clayton Marker was present on behalf of Marker Assoc. with a request for the first drive- through facility since the ordinance has been updated. He said a coffee shop has been proposed for Heartland Center. They have appeared before the Plan Commission who gave a unanimous recommendation, but with some concern for signage. All neighbors were notified of this request. This moves to the consent agenda at the City Council meeting on October 14". Page 2 of 4 2. PC 2008-19 Urness Land Company (Star European Imports) — Annexation, PUD Zoning and Concept PUD Plan Mason Oliver, HRM and Attorney Dan Kramer were present for this petition. A draft of a proposed annexation agreement was noted. Travis said the Public Hearing is scheduled for October 28`h, however, here are still some questions on the part of the petitioner. Mr. Oliver gave an overview of the plans for the property. The difficulties of no sanitary sewer were discussed and Kramer said waste could be pumped by a life station into a nearby sanitary sewer to the west or another option is a septic system. A lift station would need to be approved through the sanitary district. A long-term future solution should be realized when the property north of Rt. 34 develops. 3. PC 2008-21 Loren and Rhonda Miller - I-112 Mile Review for Rezoning (A-1 to M-1) The Plan Commission has already given a favorable recommendation. This property is contiguous to the City and is located off Cannonball. Annexation is not being pursued at this time because there are no utilities in that area and the owner is not looking for annexation at this time. He is just seeking zoning consistent with the County' s current uses. Travis also said that the owner' s license must be approved each year and since the business is a legal, non-conforming use, the State questions this at each license renewal. The new zoning will assist Mr. Miller. Alderman Allen asked if the City would be in a position to ask for improvements to the property. A letter will be sent to Mr. Miller suggesting some improvements to the property. This will move forward to City Council regular agenda asking for a motion to draft the letter. 4. EDC 2008-31 Comprehensive Plan Update — Commuter Station Land Use Map Modification EDC had previously discussed a proposed Metra station and what is necessary to attract one. Senior Planner Stephanie Boettcher revised the previous plans and increased the mixed use near a possible Metra site. Travis said he had also received a letter from Attorney Bob Kenny who represents the nearby Rob Roy Falls. He has requested the City to overlay uses. Density was also discussed, however, Travis said the staff recommended focusing on the Plan as a whole and not on specific areas. He said that "mixed use" allows for higher density. City Administrator McLaughlin also said that higher density is currently selling better than single—family housing. Alderman Allen cautioned that the Police Department reports that many calls come from the higher density residential areas. A Public Hearing is scheduled for October 281h and Travis will have an ordinance ready for adoption at that time. Page 3 of 4 New Business: 1. EDC 2008-42 Monthly Building Permit Report for August 2008 2. EDC 2008-43 Monthly Building Permit Report./or September 2008 Travis noted an error in the September report—the number of single-family detached housing should be 111 not 211 . 3. EDC 2008-44 Monthly Plan Commission Report for September 2008 For information only. 4. EDC 2008-45 Naturalized Stormwater Basin Management – Discussion Regarding HOA Education Golinski said many Homeowners' Associations are now maintaining their own stormwater/detention areas. Travis said most of these areas are private and the key to successfully managing them is through education. On October 15`h, there will be a seminar about this subject at the Library and all Associations are invited. Newspaper stories and direct mail were methods suggested to notify homeowners of the upcoming seminar. Travis will also obtain a targeted list of people near the basins. The City is currently compiling an inventory of the basins using GPIS. The Mayor suggested some sort of advertising in the future to demonstrate the value of the basins. She also suggested an edging of some type around the basins to define the area and make it more attractive. 5. EDC 2008-46 Off Street Parking Regulations – Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment Recommendation This pertains to truck parking and some felt the policy was too broad. The recommendation came as a result of a resident complaint at the south-side Shell-station. Alderman Besco said he did not want to jeopardize businesses by placing restrictions on the amount of time a truck could park at a certain business. It was decided to redirect this matter to the Public Safety Committee for further consideration before it moves to Plan Commission. 6. EDC 2008-47 Zoning Ordinance Update – Steering Committee Formulation and Project Update Golinski said the Plan Commission formed a steering committee comprised of a technical group of people, according to staff suggestions. EDC committee members commented that the steering committee had many Plan Commission members and also some who worked on the Comprehensive Plan and that perhaps other opinions are needed. Travis said that focus groups will most likely also be included for input. No further action was taken. Page 4 of 4 7. EDC 20087-48 Integrated Transportation Plan — Steering Committee Formulation and Project Update Travis said 12 persons had been identified to be on this committee and are scheduled to meet on October 16`x' at 4:30 at the Library. Alderman Allen suggested that someone from the schools should also be on the committee. It was decided that Robyn Sutcliff, liaison to the School Board, should approach the Schools about this. Travis will coordinate with her. 8. EDC 2008-49 Proposed Economic Development Committee 2009 Meeting Schedule The committee approved of the meeting schedule. Additional Business: It was noted that Travis is reviewing some of the SSA documents and that City Council is reviewing some of the current policies. Administrator McLaughlin noted that back-up SSA' s are desirable so that maintenance continues, but that some backups are not in place. Staff will be contacting developers or Homeowners' Association presidents about this. There was further discussion of some developments that do not have SSA' s or Homeowners' Associations. Alderman Besco was designated to be the Plan Commission liaison and it was suggested that EDC members should attend more of the Plan Commission meetings. There was no further business and the meeting adjourned at 8 :27pm. Minutes by Marlys, Young, Minute Taker C/T y Reviewed By: Agenda Item Number J?

As of the preparation of this staff report, the Cobblestone Commons final subdivision plat is unrecorded. Final action on the special use request will need to occur following the recording of the plat- until that time, lot 5 doesn't exist. The developer is awaiting construction financing prior to recording the plat and has indicated to staff this should be complete by the end of December. Plan Commission Action: On November 12, 2008 the Plan Commission recommended approval of the special use request with a vote of 5 ayes, 0 no. Staff Suggestions: • Through staff research the following shall be considered the criteria for stacking lanes: Type of Drive Through Number of Spaces Bank 6 per teller Coffee Shop 4 per window Dry Cleaner 3 per window Restaurant 12 total (min. of 5 between order and pick up) Other 5 per window • The stacking criteria for pharmacies shall be 5 spaces per window following the requirements of an "other" use. Given the stacking exhibit, in which 3 spaces are provided per window for a total of 6 spaces, the subject property would be considered in conformance with the aforementioned requirements, as over 5 stacking spaces are provided total. Special Use Standards (10-14-6 of Zoning Ordinance) F. Standards: No special use shall be recommended by the Plan Commission unless said Commission shall find that: 1 . The establishment, maintenance or operation of the special use will not be unreasonably detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare. 2. The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purpose already pemritted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. 3.

This special use request is in relation to the use of the properly, not the structure of the building. There are currently 4 single-family apartments on the 2nd story of the building. The petitioner is requesting to add 2 additional single-family apartments on the Is` story of the building in addition to the existing office space on the Is` story. Plan Commission Action: The Plan Commission conducted a public hearing and reviewed the petition November 12, 2008 and motioned to approved the special use request subject to staff comments 3 ayes; 2 no Staff Comments and Recommendations • Two Zoning Ordinance variance requests will be necessary for the subject property in order to allow the special use requested and are scheduled to be reviewed by the Zoning Board of Appeals December 3 , 2008 : 1 . Variance to Section 10- 11 -4A - the property does not provide 1 enclosed parking space per multi family dwelling unit which is a requirement of this section. 2. Variance to Section 10-713-8C -the number of 2"d floor apartments on the property exceeds the number of apartments per business allowed in a business building per this section of the ordinance. Two apartments is the maximum number allowed based on only I business being located in the building. • The petitioner has indicated to staff that the residential use requested will be temporary until such time as business users can be identified for the structure or the property is redeveloped. Staff recommends a time period of 3 years be established to eliminate the special use and included as a condition of the special use approval. • The property is subject to the City's Landscape Ordinance standards for parkway landscaping given a special use request approval. The quantity of trees required for this property equal 2 parkway trees. (note that perimeter landscaping is not required due to the requested use being residential, parking lot landscaping is not required due to the lot being existing, and storm water basin landscaping requirements are not applicable.) Given the unique nature of the subject property, Staff understands it may be difficult to meet these requirements on the subject property. As an alternative, Staff recommends the petitioner provide off site landscaping to meet their onsite landscaping requirement at a location determined by the City for the 2 parkway trees. • The Land Title Survey dated 04- 10-07 states, "The maximum height for any building is 80', there are no setback requirements." Both are incorrect statements. o Staff recommends this statement be stricken from the Land Title Survey. • The Land Title Survey dated 04- 10-07 gives a property address of 119 Hydraulic Street, while the petitioner's application gives 125 W. Hydraulic. Yorkville GIS data gives an address of 119- 125 Hydraulic for the subject property. It is recommended the petitioner amend their submitted documents to have a uniform address for the property. • The criteria for consideration for a special use permit are listed below: Special Use Standards (10-14-6 of Zoning Ordinance) F. Standards: No special use shall be recommended by the Plan Commission unless said Commission shall find that: 1 . The establishment, maintenance or operation of the special use will not be unreasonably detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare. 2. The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purpose already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. 3 . The establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. 4. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage or other necessary facilities have been or are being provided. 5. Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress or egress so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. 6. The special use shall in all other respects conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located, except as such regulations may in each instance be modified by the City Council pursuant to the recommendations of the Plan Commission.

As the real estate and housing market continues to decline, it has affected a number of related industries such as suppliers, trades and retail related purchases in the local economy. Overall consumer confidence has been deeply curtailed by the housing slowdown. Jobs and tax revenue base are lost, and the communities where growth has declined are immediately affected. While navigating the challenging housing market conditions, home builders are diligently working with various stakeholders to reduce operational costs. These changes started with significant reductions in staff by the homebuilder companies, including at Pulte Homes. Subcontractors and vendors, recognizing the critical nature of the slowdown, have also agreed to reductions in the price of services and materials provided in overall construction costs. All of these cost savings have been instrumental in maintaining the viability of homebuilder companies. We are very proud of our Autmmi Creek project in the City of Yorkville. It truly has been a successful partnership with City Staff and elected officials. The Autumn Creek project is high quality residential community that will also generate future commercial/retail opportunities along Route 34 at the entrance to the community. In coordination with the Parks and Recreation Department, we have developed the Autumn Creek Park, with its popular transportation theme design. Also, in coordination with Yorkville Community Unit School District #115 , we have performed considerable development improvements for the School District to assist in the opening of a new elementary school next fall. Overall, both Pulte Homes and the City of Yorkville have made a long term investment in the success of the project. Pulte Home Corporation 1901 N. Roselle Road, Suite 1000 Schaumburg, Illinois 80195 8472305400 8472303435 (Fax) www.pulte,com However, the success of Autumn Creek is now severely challenged by the market fundamentals of the housing slowdown. Local market inventory levels have increased 87 % over the last 3 years due to the significant supply/demand imbalance. At Autumn Creek, the combined average sales prices for the single family and townhomes have declined by $48,000 since our Grand Opening, from $263 ,000 in 2006 to $215,000 in 2008 . It is on this point that we ask for the City's valuable assistance. Consistent with the actions taken by other stakeholders in Autumn Creek, and in response to the dire circumstances of the local housing dynamics, we are asking for specific relief by the City on the project's fee schedule, as follows: • An extension on the project freeze for any increase in Impact Fees/ Building Permit Fees from Year 2010 to year 2017 This request is based on the aforementioned decline in sales prices, as well as our projected build-out period increasing from 3 years to 14 years. • Shifting of timing of payment of Impact Fees from Building Permit to Certificate of Occupancy This request is based on the lengthening of our projected build out time from 3 years to 14 years, as well as to more appropriately match the timing of payment of these fees with the actual impact to the community. • Shiftier of timing of payment of Building Permit Fees from Building Permit, to 50% at Building Permit and 50% to Certificate of Occupancy This request is based on the lengthening of our projected build out time from 3 years to 14 years, as well as to more accurately reflect when those costs are actually incurred. • A reduction in Impact Fees/Building Permit Fees by 18% In recognition of the 18% decline in average sales prices at Autumn Creek, from $263,000 at Grand Opening to the current average sales price of $215,000. Given this overall framework, we feel strongly that these 4 areas of fee relief for Autumn Creek are all deeply needed, appropriate and justifiable. In addition, this relief would continue the partnership between the City of Yorkville and Palle Homes to ensure the short term and long term success of the project, and the ongoing investment of the project, as a major component in the Yorkville community. We greatly appreciate your time and consideration on this very important matter. If I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to call me at (847) 230-5252. Sincerely, Brian Brunhofer Division President Pulte Homes `QED CITY A 0 Memorandum I To: EDC EME , 1836 From: Travis Miller 0 �,I j y CC: Lisa Pickering (for distribution) 9 =ll�� p Date: November 18, 2008 <[.E`: � Subject: Pulte/Autumn Creek Fee Reduction Request Petitioner ReguestBackground: Staff has met with Pulte officials and received the attached letter from Pulte requesting consideration of various fee reductions and payment timing shifts allowing for the delay of certain fees. Autumn Creek Subdivision includes 575 total residential units including 317 single family and 258 townhome units. At the time of this memo, 406 units including 262 single family and 144 townhome units remain to be built. Staff Comments and Recommendations Pulte Request 1 : An extension on project freeze for any increase in Impact Fees/Building Permit Fees from year 2010 to year 2017. Staff Comments: For the purposes of calculating the result of continuing the current fee lock, staff has deducted 40 units which are projected to be built between now and April 2010 in the table below: Autumn Creek Development Impact Fees Continue Lock on 2005 Rates assuming Apply Current Rates Current full build out to occur in April 2010 Agreement (projecting 366 units (projecting 366 units (April 2005) remaining) Current Rates remaining) Difference Public Works $700 $ 256,200.00 $ 700.00 $ 256,200.00 N/A Police $300 $ 109,800.00 $ 300.00 $ 109,800.00 N/A Building $150 $ 54,900.00 $ 59509.00 $ 2,0169294.00 $ 11961,394.00 Library $500 $ 183,000.00 $ 500.00 $ 183,000.00 N/A Parks & Recreation $50 $ 18,300.00 $ 50.00 $ 18,300.00 N/A Engineering $100 $ 36,600.00 $ 100.00 $ 36,600.00 N/A Bristol-Kendall Fire $1 ,000 $ 366,000.00 $ 1 ,000.00 $ 366,000.00 N/A County Road Fee N/A $ 19475.00 $ 539,850.00 $ 539,850.00 $2,800 $ 1 ,024,800.00 $ 9,634.00 $ 3,526,044.00 $ 2,501,244.00 In general, there have not been many changes/increases to development impact fees since 2005. However, the two changes (municipal building and county road) are significant totaling just over $2.5 million for the development. Staff Recommendations: Seven years is a long period of time. One option for the Committee to consider would be to monitor the economy and extend the fee lock on a year-to-year basis. In a slow economy, assuming 25 permits per year, the annual revenue loss to the City would be ($5,350 x 25) $ 133,975 to the Municipal Building fund. In the event an extension is granted to the lock of fee amounts, the introduction of the County Road Fee should be applied to the development in 2010 and the water connection fees should increase to the current rates as well. A lump sum payment for the Municipal Building fee similar to the $3,288 rate if paid at time of final plat, would reduce Pulte's expenses considerable ($ 1 .2 million verses required $1 .9 million for the projected remaining units) Pulte Request 2: Shifting of riming of payment of Impact Fees from Building Permit to Certificate of Occupancy. Staff Comments: - Obviously, the services the impact fees are in place to supplement aren't demanded from the development until the units are occupied by residents. This request doesn't reduce any dollar amount due to the City, it delays the time for which the City receives payment. The result will be less time for the City to apply the dollars toward services required and not ideal for the City, but certainly an item that could be compromised upon without a loss of services. Staff Recommendation: - The Committee may want to consider accepting this amendment. Pulte Request 3: Shifting of timing of payment of Building Permit Fees from Building Permit to 50% at Building Permit and 50% at Certificate of Occupancy. Staff Comments: The City is in contract with ICCI to perform the building inspection and permitting function of the City. ICCI does perform inspection and review services between the time of Building Permit to the time of Certificate of Occupancy issuance from which, a portion of the Building Permit fee covers. Staff Recommendation: The Committee may want to consider a shift of 80% due at Building Permit and 20% due at Occupancy permit. This split covers the ICCI time and the City's commitment to compensate for that time. Pulte Request 4: A reduction in Impact Fees/Building Pennit Fees by 18%. Staff Comments: The impact fees are all individually based upon a residential unit's proportionate share of the service being impacted. This rate is not based upon sales amounts of the units, therefore there is no correlation between the cost of the City services a residential unit requires and the cost of the residential unit. Staff Recommendation: Staff does not recommend this type of reduction. `�fpD C/T` Reviewed By: Agenda Item Number J� OT Legal ❑ N R c� �J Finance El esr. , I�1836 Engineer ❑ 0 9 i� f.

Council Action Previously Taken: Date of Action: N/A Action Taken: Item Number: Type of Vote Required: Majority to proceed out of committee Council Action Requested: Discussion and approval Submitted by: Bart Olson Administration Name Department Agenda Item Notes: yip Memorandum ® To: Mayor Bard J 0 ° From : Bart Olson, Assistant City Administrator; Stephanie Boettcher, Senior Planner EST. �� : 1336 CC: Brendan McLaughlin, City Administrator; Travis Miller, Community Development Director Date: November 14, 2008 Subject: Wind energy information Background and recommendation In August 2007, the Illinois Legislature passed Illinois Public Act 095-0481 , the Illinois Power Agency Act, which required all of the State' s energy usage to be created from renewable sources by 2025 . Of that 25% of total power, 75% must come from wind energy. This fact, coupled with further discussion that wind subsidies from the federal government could increase in the near future means that interest in wind energy systems will grow. In order to properly plan for wind energy systems, the City needs to address how wind systems are constructed and operated. When wind energy systems are discussed, typically they are categorized in two ways. The first way is large scale wind energy operations. These are characterized by multiple, large turbines built for the purpose of generating power to be supplied to the market via the electrical grid. The second way is small scale wind energy operations. These are characterized by single, small turbines built for the purpose of off- setting one building' s (or property's) energy costs. Much of the current news recently has been on small wind energy systems. The Villages of Skokie and Oswego, Illinois have recently passed ordinances on small scale wind energy systems. These ordinances control how a small scale wind energy system is controlled by the municipality through zoning, land-use, and permitting processes. In both of these ordinances, turbines are a permitted accessory structure in certain zoning classes and require a permit to be constructed. Additionally, they have restrictions on where the turbines can be located within each property. The ordinance that is attached to this memo takes language from both the Skokie and Oswego ordinances. Large wind energy systems have been in the news for different reasons. Rather than creating an ordinance to control the different standards and processes for permitting a wind farm, most counties or municipalities have chosen to classify wind farms as a special use. The governing body can then approve the special use permit with contingencies. Since wind farm concerns could include noise and sight complaints from surrounding property owners, it is best to allow public input on the proposal through the special use process (which includes a public hearing). The ordinance that is attached to this memo classifies large wind energy systems (wind farms) as a special use. Large scale wind operations What can a municipality due to encourage large scale wind farms? From a planning and land-use standpoint, making them permitted uses in the appropriate zoning districts would encourage these facilities by streamlining the approval/permitting process. However, recognizing the importance of public input as stated above, the attached draft proposes an application for a large or small scale wind operation, to be reviewed and approved through the special use process. The special use process involves an application process including internal Plan Council review, at least one public hearing at the Plan Commission level, and City Council approval. In the current zoning ordinance, any type of application of wind energy is not addressed, which calls attention to the need to place regulations in the zoning ordinance for them. Making wind operations a permitted use in certain zoning classifications makes the process easier, shorter, and less costly to the petitioner. This would call for amending the zoning code which requires a public hearing at a Plan Commission meeting, which could be conducted in January for January/February consideration at a City Council meeting. We can publicize our desire to have wind turbines within City limits. Cascade County, Montana developed a wind power marketing program. This marketing program involved providing maps to developers which included wind data, topography, transmission lines, property ownership, etc. By providing this information it not only highlights the county as a great place for wind energy development, but also assists the developer in identifying the most ideal locations. Their marketing has brought in a utility grade wind farm which is the county's 24th largest tax payer and employs over 125 people . We can also talk to property owners that have large tracts of land to see if their future plans for the property are compatible with wind farms. For example, if a fanner wants to keep farming on his property, wind farms would be a compatible future use. Wind farms would also encourage a very rural land-use pattern, which has been a goal of the City Council and the comprehensive plan. How does a municipality get involved? Most, if not all, large scale wind farms are privately owned and operated. Typically, the wind farm operator rents the land for the turbines from the property owners. The rental/lease agreement is privately negotiated and contains private benefit only. The municipality gets involved through the zoning and permitting process. It is unclear how the additional power generation would affect the residents or the municipality. It appears the residents would benefit through additional capacity in the electrical system, but it does not appear that the residents electric bill would decrease. Municipalities also can own wind turbines and operate them and participate in their development. An example of this is the City of Geneseo. The City of Geneseo received an Illinois Clean Energy Grant to build one wind turbine. The City will operate and own the turbine as part of their municipal electric utility. Per the Clean Energy Grant, the wind turbine will generate power- for a local use, serving the needs of a community institution. Municipalities can also purchase renewable energy credits through their electricity bills (i.e. Greenest Region Compact). What are the best locations to site wind turbines in the City and the Planning Area? Are there siting problems? The best locations for large utility scale wind farms are probably within agricultural or certain manufacturing land-use areas. Siting in a high wind area, near the existing electrical grid nodes are preferable. A USA Today article on November 3'a highlights some of the issues with siting wind farms, specifically how close a wind turbine should be to an occupied residence. It references two different municipalities' recommendations of setbacks from residential land uses; one at 1 ,500 feet, one at one mile. The reasons the setbacks are recommended to be so large are for safety concerns and for potential quality of life concerns, namely potential noise from the turbine. Siting problems can occur during the public involvement process within the siting decision. If a public hearing is necessary, moderate to significant public opposition is a reasonable expectation — especially http://www.windpoweringamerica.gov/filter detail.aspMemid=1204 from those who live within eyesight of the turbines. Complaints range from aesthetics, to noise, to endangering birds and their migratory patterns, to NIMBY, to "Wind Turbine Syndrome". What are the economic benefits of wind farms to a municipality?. The most obvious is the creation of jobs for the construction and management of the wind farms. Most jobs associated the construction of the turbines would not have a local effect. It is not likely the wind farm developers are going to hire local construction crews to do the work on the turbines. They may, however, hire local companies to do some of the general construction work (padwork, blacktop, etc.) McLean County Illinois' s 240 turbine development estimated that 300 jobs would be created during construction and 40 full-time jobs created for the ongoing management of the facility. The City should ask for verification on the jobs and types of jobs. The other economic benefit is permit fees. McLean County in Illinois had approximately $700,000 worth of fees which were assessed on the total acreage of the wind farm, not just on the acreage used by the tower. McLean County didn't change their fees structure prior to the wind farm coming in, but it is common for a municipality/county to increase their fees prior to a wind farm being proposed to accurately reflect the cost of the review and siting process. If the property has to be annexed, the City could negotiate for certain concessions — although it is unclear what the total economic impact of the development would be, and therefore unclear what the developer would be willing to concede. There could be a chance where the concessions by the developer would be minimal. What are some of the issues with large scale wind farms? Some issues are listed in the section above on siting decisions. Safety concerns are also an issue. Typically, setbacks of 110% of the height of the turbine fi•om any structure (utility pole, building) are required, in case the structure falls over. Adjacent property owners may argue that depreciation in surrounding property values will occur, although staff has not seen any evidence to support this argument. . Construction of large scale wind farms will have an affect on the local transportation system. Traffic routes would have to take into account the large size and weight of the components. The City would have to look at the impact of the large components of the turbines on the local and regional road system. Small-scale wind operations What can a municipality due to encourage large scale wind farms? In the same manner as large scale wind farms - permitting use within certain zoning districts and subdivision codes, and publicizing the benefits of constructing small scale wind systems. Oswego allows turbines only on certain sized lots. How does a municipality get involved? Wind turbines require permission from the electric company to be connected to the electrical grid. The municipality can assist by aiding the residents through this process by providing the appropriate contact information and any forms required to be completed by the resident. Compatibility between City authorized turbines and homeowner' s association (HOA) rules may need to be communicated to the residents. For example, what does the City do if an HOA says that residents may not have turbines, even though the City allows it? Do we let them work it out the issue themselves, or do we want to encourage the HOAs to let people do it? What are the best locations to site wind turbines in the City and the Planning Area? Are there siting problems? For small scale wind turbines, any land-use may be appropriate. We will need to establish standards for setbacks, size, construction, etc. Recommended standards and setbacks are included within the draft ordinance. What are the economic benefits of wind farms to a municipality? Wind turbine producers would see increased business. There are local companies that sell wind turbines. Theoretically, you could create green collar jobs through increased business. A liberal promotion of small scale wind turbines could create marketing opportunities for the municipality. Also, people may value living in a "green" community. What are some of the issues with small scale windsystems? As with any property use decision, issues may arise from siting and permitting the turbines in existing developed areas. Any change in an existing neighborhood can cause issues between adjacent property owners. It is anticipated that surrounding property owners will cite aesthetics and operating concerns of the turbines.

Due to this, the Design Guidelines which are a part of the 2005 Comprehensive Plan (Southern Study Area) will need a separate adoption in order for their continued use by the City. Staff recommends adopting the 2005 Design Guidelines immediately. In addition, the recently approved Comprehensive Plan lists three objectives which are specific to the application of the City' s Design Guidelines. These three are listed under Land Use Goal 1 — Encourage high quality, distinct and creative development which reinforces and unifies the identity of Yorkville. The three objectives are: • 1 . 1 — Develop a policy for consistent application of Yorkville's Design Guidelines • 1 .2 — Develop community entrance features per design guideline specifics. • 1 .3 — Developments along roadways designated as gateways in the 2005 Comprehensive Plan (south of the Fox River), and subsequently the gateways identified north of the Fox River, should adhere to design guideline landscape specifics for gateway corridors. Through preliminary staff review of the Design Guidelines, there are a few changes necessary, but overall the content and standards in the Design Guidelines are still applicable. The changes include: • Revisions to the text which specifically mention the southern study area and/or Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update. • Revisions to the "Submittal/Approval Process" text in the Introduction. Similar guidelines have been codified via the appearance code, landscape ordinance, or sign ordinance, which have been approved since the 2005 approval of this document. Revisions could address Objective 1 . 1 listed above. • Revisions to the text when specific major corridors are mentioned in order to include those corridors north of the Fox River, such as US 34. • Revisions to the text to also mention native plants as desired plant materials, specifically in Principle 4 (pg. 10-11 ), Principle 8 (pg. 26), and Principle 9 (pg. 30-32). • Updating Principle 11 (Establish unique gateway entry features to identify the City) to include locations of these features and an updated design which is more amenable given location constraints. Staff will work on the changes/refinements above and return to a future EDC for review.

Therefore this Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update expands upon the more general land use goals, objectives and policies through the establishment of specific development Design Guidelines. These Design Guidelines identify and address site development, architecture and landscape issues while providing general guidance to developers and City staff creating and evaluating land development proposals. As a result, Rural character of Yorkville future development can respect and enhance the character and quality of life in the United City of Yorkville. ■ Description/Background The United City of Yorkville is located 55 miles southwest of Chicago, Illinois. Yorkville is known as a picturesque community located along the Fox , River, offering residents a pastoral setting and rural living. The community is currently faced with rapid growth and desires to maintain the natural characteristics of the area while planning for orderly, appropriate growth. The City has commissioned a Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update for approximately 30,000 acres south of the Fox River to ensure coordinated, high quality development occurs which maintains the unique Fox River heritage and character of Yorkville. These design guidelines are intended to supplement the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update and provide general direction for those wishing to develop property within the City's growth boundaries. lAnitad Giiy of Yorkyille- Gompt-e-kensive Land Llse Plan Update 2 Design Guidelines Jnfroduction The key objectives of the Design Guidelines are to: Educate the public, developers, property owners and plan reviewers as to the desired and expected vision for development in Yorkville. Present clear principles and priorities for achieving the vision for the City. Create a sense of place. ■ Increase connectivity and focus commercial activity into defined nodes. • Illustrate specific techniques to use when planning and developing within the City ■ Purpose of Guidelines The Design Guidelines for the Comprehensive Land Use Plan are intended to maintain the unique character and acknowledge the heritage of Yorkville. In order to respect these objectives, there is a need to establish and maintain certain standards by which future development within Yorkville may occur. While the guidelines provide specific recommendations for development, they cannot cover all circumstances. It is the intent of the design guidelines to provide flexibility while achieving a sense of continuity and visual harmony within the United City of Yorkville. These design guidelines illustrate the proposed community character and establish an overall framework and comprehensive set of principles to allow the community to develop in an orderly and cohesive manner. They establish criteria for overall community planning, individual site planning, landscape concepts, signage design as well as the architectural style and design for commercial, residential and civic areas. The guidelines outline ways to maintain the inherent character of the City while at the same time enabling individual developments to be distinct from one another. ■ Submittal/Approval Process All site development proposals are required to be submitted to the City for review. Further, it is the applicant's responsibility to ensure compliance with the latest revisions to these guidelines. Copies will be made available upon request to the City. These design guidelines apply to all improvements including construction involving remodeling and/or additions to existing buildings and developments. The City will review all proposed site plans for compliance with the established regulations/guidelines contained herein. Modifications to this manual may be made to clarify or expand the requirements and to maintain the overall goals established in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. ■ Principles Overview The design guidelines focus on the overall scale of the City while also considering individual sites. in addition to general guidelines, detailed design components such as site furnishings, specific landscaping, architectural styles and themes for community identity are presented to further define the character of Yorkville. The Design Guidelines of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan are divided into four categories of design principles: Overall Planning, Site Planning, Landscaping and Community Character. Wifed city of yo;x6ine Gomprekensive Land We Plan lApdafe 3 Design Guidelines Jntroduction Overall Planning j i One of the objectives of the Overall Planning principles is to respect existing environmental and cultural features and outline ways development can appropriately occur without compromising the integrity of the existing features. Another critical component of the Overall Planning principles is ensuring coordinated, comprehensive developments which are connected and incorporate appropriate transitions between various land uses. Site Planning The objective of the Site Planning principles is to address individual developments and provide standards for creating attractive projects. The Guidelines outline specific techniques to achieve the desired aesthetics within individual developments. • Landscaping The Landscaping principles outline requirements for landscape treatments for developments with respect to buffers, right of way treatments, screening and site enhancement. Community Character A fundamental goal of the design guidelines is to create a cohesive vision that reflects the unique character of Yorkville. By establishing a vision/theme for public and private properties within the City, a sense of character will be evident throughout the entire community. The Community Character principles outline specific design features such as architectural elements, gateways, major intersection enhancements, site furnishings, light fixtures and signage criteria recommended to maintain a consistent and unique identity for the City. The character principles are intended to allow for variation between individual developments while maintaining consistent features throughout the City. United City of Yorkville Comprekensive Land !Ilse Alan Update 4 Design Guidelines Overall Planning Principles Overall Planning Principles The Overall Planning Principles address issues that impact development within the City, primarily focused upon issues related to land-use within the City. PRINCIPLE 1: Preserve%nhance open space, environmental features and rural character PRINCIPLE 2: Promote connectivity between land uses and adjacent developments PRINCIPLE 3: Provide transitions between land uses • Desirable Elements: The following elements shall be incorporated into the developments within the City: • Preservation of historical structures and rural landmarks such as barns and farmsteads • Preservation of existing trees • Trailheads signifying the starting point of pedestrian pathways • Shared access points to development • Connections to adjacent properties to incorporate future development • 'Step down'of building height with respect to adjacent, lower intensity land uses • Protect and preserve right-of-way for future expansion • Incorporate exclusive turn lanes into developments and at intersections • Undesirable Elements: The following elements are discouraged in developments within the City: • Destruction or loss of natural open space and environmentally sensitive areas • Fragmented open space • Numerous traffic signals and uncoordinated driveway connections • Curb cuts for individual businesses • Drastic change in intensity of land use within developments and among adjacent properties PRINCIPLE 1: Preservelenhance open space,environmental features and rural character One of the primary goals of the design guidelines is to preserve the unique character of Yorkville. Several strategies can be implemented in order to protect the open space that currently exists and enhance the quality of open space throughout the City. ■ Preserve Existing Vegetation Recognizing that the existing tree cover throughout 441i Yorkville is a significant benefit to the character of the City, ll emphasis shall be placed on preservation of existing trees. • When developing private property, grading should be managed in an effort to reduce mass grading activities that would negatively impact existing tree cover.• Site planning should incorporate strict preservation requirements, focusing development into clusters that vege a ion along roaorway protect existing tree stands. (Refer to PRINCIPLE 4) Uni+ecl Cify of Vorltyille Comprehensive Land Llse Plan L1pda+e 5 Design Guidelines Overall Planning Principlas • Utilize existing vegetation as a natural screen for parking and other elements that need to be screened from public view. (Refer to PRINCIPLE 8) • Preserve historic structures and farmsteads • When developing private property, consider incorporating barns or other structures and features, which express the rural character of Yorkville, into the plans for open space or parks. • Create clear sight lines from adjacent major roadways to the preserved structures to maintain some of the rural qualities currently experienced Historic Farmhouse throughout the City. ■ Create Recreational Opportunities Yorkville's existing and proposed open space network provides a significant opportunity to establish a comprehensive trail system and expand the City's recreational open space system. Thoughtful design and incorporation of a coordinated trail system will provide critical linkages between developments and open spaces. _ • Provide public trailheads within or adjacent to new development to serve as a means to integrate development into the open space system. Locate trails through open space • Careful consideration should be given to trail connections within Individual site plans to encourage alternative modes of transportation. PRINCIPLE 2: Promote connectivity between land uses and adiacent developments Provide a comprehensive approach to development that focuses upon developing master plans that provide vehicular and pedestrian connections between adjacent properties. Consideration should be given to future development on and off-site. Planning for future expansion and connection helps create a sense of organization and assists in mitigating the traffic and number of access points along major roadways. ■ Develop Comprehensive Master Plans Master plans should be developed to address relationships with adjacent properties, including but not limited to; the impact on circulation, building orientation, building massing, building scale, drainage patterns,topography and existing vegetation.

When components in the built environment are designed in such a way that people feel comfortable, then human scale has been achieved. In general, this means that _ the size, patterns, textures, forms and overall three-dimensional composition can be appreciated at the pedestrian level. • Vary the height of buildings, and/or Varied building scale provides distinction between masses building elements where feasible, so they appear to be divided into distinct elements or masses.

PRINCIPLE 6: Enhance pedestrian experience and establish sense of place through careful design and location of open spaces The creation of open space throughout the City is an essential technique used to break up building facades. The use of such pockets of interest creates views into the various developments. A wide range of open spaces such as public gathering plazas, open "greens", common play areas, neighborhood parks and natural preserves can be incorporated into development plans. ■ View Corridors • Open space Is considered a valuable amenity, therefore careful consideration of vistas into open spaces from residential lots, streets and drives is required. • Maintain view corridors to provide vistas of amenities, natural features, open spaces and other significant elements. • Create focal points at main entries, on axis with major circulation route and pedestrian corridors to establish a Community Perk strong identity and structure for the project.

Subject: Safe Routes to School 2008 Application On December ls` the final application for Safe Routes to School funding is due to the Illinois Department of Transportation. This year we are re-applying for the full grant amount of $250,000 for old sidewalk removal and new sidewalk construction in downtown Yorkville, primarily using material from the 2007 application. The Safe Routes to School program is 100% funding, therefore, no local match is required in order to obtain the funding should the City be successful in obtaining the grant. Through a thorough analysis of missing sidewalk links, it has become apparent that although we have many new sections of sidewalks in downtown, there are missing links that do not allow children to ride a bicycle or walk to get to school. In addition, older areas of sidewalk that do not have ADA ramps or intersection warnings (the red raised area before the street) also are considered a hazard. Through the receipt of this grant, the City will be able to provide safe walking routes for children to Circle Center Grade School and Yorkville Intermediate School. Our application is divided into three areas: 1 ) A new sidewalk between Orange Street and YIS to prevent children from using the bus lane to access the school (a safety concern to both principals) in the amount of $ 19,000.00. Both principals stated that when it rains, snows, or if there is dew on the grass, they will use the CCGS bus lane to access YIS. A separate sidewalk would make this route safe. 2) For neighborhood streets on the east side of Route 47, our goal is completion of most sidewalks where they are missing, repair of broken non-ADA sidewalks, new sidewalks on at least one side of the streets where none exist, and installation of ADA ramps at intersections are the focus of the funding dollars. The amount requested is $97,500.00 for this area of town and the goal would be to make a complete, ADA accessible route to the schools. 3) For neighborhood street on the west side of Route 47, our goal is completion of most sidewalks on at least one side of every street, connections between missing links, and ADA intersection improvements in the amount of $ 133,500.00 for this side of town. By completing the gaps, safe routes to the Washington Street crossing guard will be provided. We are hoping through this application that the dollars funded can provide safe routes to most children to both schools. After we complete the walkways, Edward Hospital has pledged their support to create walking/bicycling to school programs for the entire district, to get children out and moving, which is a critical component of the Safe Routes program. e o C1T` Reviewed By: Agenda Item Number 0.6 Legal ❑ Qjj t esr � 78 Finance ❑ Engineer ❑ .4 City Administrator ut F-1 Tracking Number p 1 p ?O Consultant ❑ EDO DOS-0LO LE ❑ Agenda Item Summary Memo Title: Draft Boundary Agreement with the Village of Millbrook Meeting and Date: EDC-December 2, 2008 Synopsis: Council Action Previously Taken: Date of Action: Action Taken: Item Number: Type of Vote Required: Council Action Requested: Submitted by: Travis Miller Community Development Name Department Agenda Item Notes: See attached memo. 0 Memorandum To: Economic Development Committee ESL 1836 From: Travis Miller O I, !

On or after the date of this Agreement, neither party shall annex territory which lies within the jurisdiction of the other municipality as established by such boundary line, nor shall it exercise or attempt to exercise or enforce any zoning, subdivision control, official map, or other municipal authority or ordinance. This boundary line shall not require a municipality to exercise control over the property on that municipality's side of the boundary line, and shall not prohibit such municipality from negotiating additional boundary line agreements with other municipalities that may surrender such jurisdiction to another municipality. Neither municipality shall object to the other municipality' s request for an amendment of any facilities planning area in respect to land located on the requesting municipality's side of the boundary line. 3 . The Parties agree to coordinate transportation related issues and to adopt and comply with the following and, to the extent legally possible, requiring all developments to comply with the following: a) Coordination of road stubs in adjoining developments to insure continuation of all boundary roadways. b) Coordination of transitions of roadway widths and designs of roads in adjoining developments to insure continuity of all boundary roadways. c) Require, to the extent legally possible, all developments to install and coordinate bicycle paths in accordance with Exhibit B.

The Parties acknowledge that there are one or more roadway intersections crossing or intersecting Illinois Route 71 and Highpoint Road/Fox Road along the boundary established under this Agreement, that will require improvements as properties on each side of the shared border are developed. The Parties agree to reserve or pay or require, whether through an annexation agreement, or if the property is already annexed, such other agreement or method legally possible, that the owner or developer of any property/development (i) that is adjacent to Illinois Route 71 or Highpoint Road/Fox Road and one of the intersecting roads for Illinois Route 71 or Highpoint Road/Fox Road; or (ii) whose primary access from such property/development to either of said highways will be from such intersecting road, shall pay its proportionate share, reimbursement and/or recapture for the estimates or, if known, the actual costs of intersection improvements, including but not limited to, such traffic signalization, interconnects, and transponders for emergency vehicles 3 DRAFT 11-2-07 11-17-08 mutually agreed upon by the parties to this Agreement.

Both Parties acknowledge that pursuant to the current provisions of 65 ILCS 5/7- 1 - 1 , the annexation of any territory adjacent to any road or highway not already within the corporate limits of any other municipality automatically extends the boundaries of the annexing municipality to the far side of the adjacent highway. To the extent that the provisions of 65 ILCS 5/7- 1 - 1 would result in the automatic annexation of any portion of a highway lying within the other municipality's Jurisdictional Area, the provisions of this Boundary Agreement shall not bar such highway annexation, however the annexing party shall file all necessary petitions and take such steps to 4 DRAFT 11-2-07 11-17-08 disconnect or exclude such portion of the highway from the municipality, and the other municipality shall annex said excluded or disconnected highway. 10.

Draft has been prepared with input from Brendan McLaughlin, Attorney Orr and Lynn Dubajic. ECONOMIC INCENTIVE POLICY Draft — November 24, 2008 Policy Purpose The purpose of this policy is to provide the City Council a framework for determining the appropriate economic incentives to offer developers or businesses locating or expanding within the City. Each development project is different; therefore, incentives appropriate to one project may be very different than incentives appropriate to another. Economic incentive agreements will be evaluated on an individual basis based upon the merits of the specific project and with consideration to the value that project has on the economy of the City. The City's role in subsidizing the cost of new development or redevelopment should be in recognition that the project would not move forward without the financial assistance of the City and the amount should be in proportion to the quality of new full- time jobs created and the new tax dollars generated. General Incentive Parameters 1 . Project must be able to show that it generates new sales tax dollars or creates new professional, skilled or semi- skilled full-time jobs. 2. Incentive must be based on a defined gap between project costs and anticipated revenues. 3. Specific project milestones must be tied to incentives (i.e. Square feet constructed, key retailers operating, incremental new tax dollars generated, type of jobs created) 4. Duration for payback, both in terms of amount of time and money, must be in the agreement Evaluation Criteria The City shall consider all aspects of a proposed project including: 1) financial feasibility 2) type of project being proposed (mixed-use, lifestyle center, traditional retail, manufacturing, office) 3) businesses which would enhance and diversify the City's tax base (department store, electronics specialty, furniture, auto dealer) 4) location within the community 5) amount of estimated new tax revenues to be generated 6) amount of quality full-time jobs created 7) benefits generated to city beyond project site 8) review of project costs, private sector financing, public improvement costs and any gaps between available funding and total project costs 9) incentive should be contingent upon construction of the proposed project and the attainment of new sales taxes generated. Current Policy Economic Incentive Policy of the United City of Yorkville SECTION 1 : Commercial / Retail The United City of Yorkville has adopted this Business Incentive Policy to achieve the goal by satisfying the objectives as outlined within the Comprehensive Plan and Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update — Southern Study Area: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GOAL "A market sensitive, balanced, diverse commercial/service base which can expand to enhance the economic vitality and employment base of Yorkville, and broaden the range of services offered to residents OBJECTIVES I . Establish and coordinate diversity in market sensitive, commercial development ranging from 1 ) specialized commercial uses in the downtown, to 2) strategically located convenience centers, and to 3) sub regional unified centers. 2. Plan commercial/office development adjacent to primary, secondary, or collector thoroughfares to maximize accessibility and minimize disturbance of residential areas. 3 . Provide areas for commercial/office development which are adjacent to compatible existing and future land uses. 4. Establish commercial development in areas that minimize negative impacts upon the existing roadway system 5 . Coordinate commercial/office development with the expansion of the roadway and utility system. 6. Encourage the development of commercial/office activity within unified centers to avoid strip development. 7. Formulate design and development standards for commercial and office facilities to promote attractive development. COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN UPDATE — SOUTHERN STUDY AREA GOAL 1 "Encourage the development of non-residential "nodes", which would result in concentrated areas of retail and commercial uses instead of strip development; consider allowing small-scale retail nodes in close proximity to residential development to reduce required driving for everyday services." GOAL "Ensure that the Comprehensive Land Use Plan provides for an adequate amount of non- residential land use that is diversified so that future economic development opportunities provide the City with a positive fiscal outlook." 1 Current Policy OBJECTIVE "Explore economic development opportunities related to the proposed Prairie Parkway, taking advantage of the limited access points to the proposed thoroughfare." GOAL "Promote and encourage the creation and maintenance of local jobs." OBJECTIVE 3 . 1 Utilize the Yorkville Economic Development Corporation (YEDC) to promote Yorkville as an attractive and desirable place for businesses to locate. 3 .2 Utilize the Economic Development Corporation and Chamber of Commerce to work with the business community to maintain a healthy environment for businesses to remain in Yorkville. All requests for business incentives shall be evaluated by how many and how fully the project meets these stated goals and objectives. Consideration for Incentives Sales tax revenues are a primary source of funding for the general municipal operations of the United City of Yorkville. As such, developments that have the greatest potential in producing these types of revenues shall be given priority when evaluating multiple funding requests. Uses of Funds That May Be Considered 1 . Land acquisition 2. Demolition 3 . Street (re)construction and related improvements (e.g., signalization, turning lanes, etc.) 4. Building Rehabilitation 5 . Environmental Remediation Activities 6. Storm Sewer, Sanitary Service & Water System Improvements 7. Architectural/Engineering Services 8. Relocation Expenses of Expanding Businesses Incentive Parameters 1 . Assistance shall not exceed 20% of total project hard costs 2. Specified duration for payback, either amount of time or money, must be in the agreement 3 . Public improvements completed on grant basis 4. Private improvements completed on a sales tax rebate and/or loan guaranty basis. All monies extended by the City shall be subject to reimbursement by the petitioner to the City should the business fail to meet its agreed upon goals. No single development shall be automatically approved for incentives. The terms and conditions of such repayment shall be negotiated on a case-by-case basis and incorporated into the final development agreement. 2 Current Policy Project Evaluation Criteria The City shall consider all aspects of a proposed project, including its financial feasibility, the type of project being proposed, its location within the community, and the amount of estimated tax revenues. For retail/commercial projects, the following shall be considered as priorities of the City and as such, projects meeting one or more of the following criteria shall be given priority when considering multiple funding requests: Sources for Funding Incentives: May be from one or more of the following sources : 1 .

Downtown Area SECTION 2 : Manufacturing / Industrial / Distribution Developments To protect, strengthen and expand the City' s local economic base, the City relies upon the creation and/or retention of high quality, permanent fulltime jobs for its residents. As such, developments that have the greatest potential in producing these types of jobs shall be given priority when evaluating multiple funding requests. It is noted that the City's adopted Zoning Ordinance shall determine if a business is considered to be a commercial, service or manufacturing type use.

A copy of the meeting summary is attached to this memo. The staff has begun work on the first of four phases, the assessment phase. This phase will include two components, the "stakeholder" interviews and an analysis of other zoning ordinances, particularly those in use in other Chicago suburbs. The interview component will consist of discussions with individual staff members, decision makers, advisory bodies and members of the development community. In the next few weeks the staff will be contacting you to set up times when it would be convenient for you to devote thirty to forty minutes to outline what things the city's zoning ordinance does well and what things need to be fixed. These interviews will be used to identify current problems and areas of the zoning ordinance that may not need attention. Summarizing and tabulating land use standards and classifications used in other ordinances will help us see how our current ordinance compares with other ordinances in use today. It can also be used to aid in deciding if and how much various standards should be changed. The Assessment Phase will be presented to the Steering Committee at their January 21 , 2009 meeting. The February meeting of the Steering Committee will use the information in the Assessment Report to determine what functions will be included in the new Zoning Ordinance, the format that will be used and developing process goals to guide the drafting of the new ordinance. In the next three Steering Committee meetings portions of the draft ordinance will be considered. The first areas considered would include the general provisions, administrative matters and definitions. The second areas considered would include the zoning districts, the use table and Special Uses and their conditions. The last group of regulations to be considered would include parking, landscaping, design standards and Signage. It is anticipated that a fourth Steering Committee meeting dealing with the ordinance draft would be to review revisions coming out of the three previous Steering Committee sessions and final overview of the draft ordinance. A finalized zoning ordinance draft would be ready to begin the Adoption Phase in July.

Travis Miller introduced the members of the Steering Committee and the constituencies they represented. He then started a slide presentation that outlined the adoption of the new Comprehensive Plan. Travis then outlined several goals and objectives in the new Comprehensive Plan that were directly related to the Zoning Ordinance. Travis then outlined the land use classifications that were identified and delineated in the new Comprehensive Plan. These classifications included Rural Neighborhoods, Estate Neighborhoods, Suburban Neighborhoods, Traditional Residential Neighborhoods, Commercial, Neighborhood Retail, Industrial, office and Research and Institutional classifications. Following his discussion of these land use classifications he outlined the various zoning districts associated with these land uses. Charles Wunder explained the task of committee as being to revise and update the City' s Zoning Ordinance. Charles identified the Zoning Ordinance as one of the most important tools that the City uses to implement the Comprehensive Plan. The current zoning ordinance was written in the early 1970' s and although it has been amended frequently throughout subsequent years, there hasn't been a comprehensive review and modification of it since then. Charles has divided the revision process into four phases, assessment, content and format determination, ordinance drafting and adoption. He then suggested several roles for the Steering Committee in each phase and asked the members to feel free to make suggestions on additional things they could do to improve the draft zoning ordinance. After this discussion Charles presented some background information on zoning. This included a brief history of land use regulations, the development of zoning laws in the United States in the 1920's, zoning's legal authority and types of zoning ordinances in use today. He provided members with a copy of the state enabling legislation that gives local governments the authority to do zoning regulations. He also gave them some handouts that identified the three "styles" of zoning ordinances being used today. Charles then explained that the staff would be proceeding with the assessment Phase which would include interviews with staff members using the zoning ordinance, various stakeholder groups such as developers and attorneys and the city's advisory and decision making bodies. The next meeting would include a presentation and analysis of information gathered in the interviews and a review of other zoning ordinances in use in the area. Charles said that this meeting would be held in January of 2009 and that he would be contacting all the members to see when the most convenient time a date would be for Steering Committee members. 2`��D C/r Reviewed By: Agenda Item Number J o T Legal ❑ Finance EST isac F-1 Engineer ❑ < y Tracking Number City Administrator F-1 O L,, O Consultant ❑ ❑ <CE fib, Agenda Item Summary Memo Title: Integrated Transportation Plan—Progress Report/Project Update Meeting and Date: EDC/December 2,2008 Synopsis: Report of ongoing activities related to the Integrated Transportation Plan project Council Action Previously Taken: Date of Action: n/a Action Taken: Item Number: Type of Vote Required: none Council Action Requested: No action Submitted by: Travis Miller Community Development Name Department Agenda Item Notes: find attached: 1) latest status report from SEC,project consultant 0 November 1, 2008 2) announcement for public meeting is scheduled for Thursday December 4,2008 to obtain citizen input on the planning objectives.

The City is hosting a public meeting on Thursday December 4"', 2008 at the Yorkville Public Library, 902 Game Farm Road about the City's bicycle and pedestrian trail network. The meeting, beginning at 7:00 pm, is open to all who are interested in learning more about the Integrated Transportation Plan. Attendees are encouraged to voice their opinions about Yorkville's bicycle and pedestrian trail network. The Yorkville Integrated Transportation Plan, a project awarded by the IDOT's Illinois Tomorrow Corridor Planning Program, has a two-fold focus: the production of a Shared-Use Trail Plan and a downtown streetscape plan. The Shared-Use Trail Plan will establish Yorkville as a great place to ride your bike, jog and walk by planning an extensive trail network throughout the Yorkville region. The Downtown Streetscape Plan will provide guidelines for a successful pedestrian environment through the creation of a Pedestrian System Analysis and Design Standards for Streetscape Elements in Yorkville's Downtown. Public input will be a major part in the success of this project. Take advantage of this opportunity to provide your input and help guide the future of Yorkville. There are multiple avenues for letting your voice be heard. Besides attending the public meeting on December 4", fill out an online survey! Visit the City of Yorkville's website at www.yorkville.il.us and tell us what you think about Yorkville's existing trail network and how they can be improved.
