Citizen Comments: None Minutes for Correction/Approval: September 5, 2017 The minutes were approved on a unanimous voice vote. New Business 1. EDC 2017-60 Building Permit Report for August 2017 Mr. Ratos reported 128 single family permits issued thus far this year and 73 multi- family permits for the development by Jewel. Cedarhurst is also underway. 2. EDC 2017-61 Building Inspection Report for August 2017 Many residential inspections were done this month and two commercial buildings are also under construction. Page 2 of 3 3. EDC 2017-62 Property Maintenance Report for August 2017 There were three hearings and all cases were dismissed due to being abated. Alderman Koch asked about the citation issued to Green Organics. It was abated prior to the hearing and the City will work with the County Inspector in the future. When compost is turned over a deodorant can be applied to alleviate future smells. The City can also review the situation when the annexation agreement authorization for the organics operation expires in 2019. There has been discussion with the operator and attorney and it will continue to be monitored. 4. EDC 2017-63 Economic Development Update Ms. Dubajic is on vacation, however, her report is contained in the agenda packet. 5. EDC 2017-64 Meeting Schedule for 2018 The committee had no conflicts with the proposed scheduled so it was approved on a unanimous voice vote. 6. EDC 2017-65 Extension of B.U.I.L.D. Program The program has been in effect for five years with over 400 total permits issued. Staff wishes to extend this until December 31, 2018 or until 100 more building permits are issued and then close the program. Alderman Frieders and Alderman Hernandez agreed the results show the program served its purpose. Alderman Koch said progress is finally being made in his ward with three previously-stalled subdivisions finally beginning to build, however, he said it's time to wind down. Alderman Plocher said residents in his ward wish to stop the program. To just stop the program would be short-sighted and could hurt the builders, said Alderman Funkhouser. He said the builders should be allowed time to inform potential buyers and he added that sales taxes have been good due to more homes. It was decided to end the program after 30 permits are issued with the program expiring December 31, 2018 and the City rebate will be cut to $5,000. This moves forward to the full Council. 7. PZC 2017-12 104 N. Bridge Street – Rezoning and Variance Petitioner Mark Southern is requesting rezoning and a variance for a restaurant and banquet hall on a one-acre lot at the southeast corner of Rt. 47 and Main St.. Ms. Noble described the particulars of the proposed project. The petitioner has suggested a possible public/private partnership for additional parking since the site is adjacent to Ron Clark Park. This project will go before the Planning and Zoning Commission on October 18 and then to the Council. Mr. Southern said he owns the Fisherman's Inn and an environmental business called Encap. Administrator Olson explained the potential partnership and other aspects of the project which could also help improve the park. The project would allow access through the park to the site, increase number of parking spaces and improve the park property. He also discussed the city water and sewer on the site. He said Park Board input would be needed also. Page 3 of 3 Aldermen discussed the challenges of the property and the effect on the surrounding properties and neighbors. In general, they liked the project idea. Alderman Funkhouser questioned the use of the park for this type of project since the purchase agreement stipulated the property should remain open space. Mr. Olson will bring a draft agreement to the November meeting if possible. Old Business None Additional Business None There was no further business and the meeting adjourned at 7:09pm.

These are both business that have been successful, and active business members of Yorkville. I anticipate that formal announcements of these business expansions will take place by the end of this year. - Kendall Marketplace…Working with Alex Berman (owner) to identify potential addition al development on the project.

Bart Olson Administration Name Department Summary Consideration of a fourth amendment to the Imperial Investments TIF agreement, regarding the addition of renovations to the 220, 222, and 224 S Bridge St properties, generally known as the old Kendall County Record and old St Joseph cabinet buildings. Background This item was last discussed by the City Council in April 2013 and July 2013, where the original TIF redevelopment agreement was amended by the City Council for the second and third times, respectively. The second amendment added the 102 E Van Emmon St property (currently owned by the City) and the parking lot near the west alley that had been previously owned by the City. The third amendment added the optional (and never authorized) utility undergrounding project in the west alley and renovation/demolition of the Well 3 pump house. Since those amendments, the developer has acquired several new parcels and added inducement resolutions for all of those properties – but the City has not approved a redevelopment plan for an Imperial Investments property since 2013. Imperial Investments has acquired the 220, 222, and 224 S Bridge St properties, and is in the process of remodeling the 222/224 building to accommodate various businesses including a downtown expansion of the Your Performing Arts Center (YPAC). YPAC has announced they will be running a new cheer and gymnastics program out of the 222 S Bridge St property, among other new programs. Imperial Investments is committed to starting construction before March 2018 (they’ve already pulled a permit) and complete the renovations before the end of 2018. In general, they are renovating the interior of the 222/224 building to include large, open multi-purpose rooms that can accommodate a variety of recreational/instructional programming. Imperial has a prospective tenant for the 220 building and will be renovating-to-suit when the agreement is finalized. In the meantime, they have to do a fair amount of roof work and interior plumbing work on the building. They have given us a minimum project budget for this building but do not have an exact layout at this time. Imperial Investments standard TIF incentive from the first agreement controls the incentive for these projects, should they be approved by City Council. In order to receive TIF reimbursement for these projects, the City Council must amend the agreement to include the new redevelopment plans. Project budgets, narrative, and a simple space illustration for each property are attached, and will be incorporated into the agreement. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the fourth amendment to the Imperial Investments TIF agreement, regarding the addition of renovations to the 220, 222, and 224 S Bridge St properties, generally known as the old Kendall County Record and old St Joseph cabinet buildings. Memorandum To: City Council From: Bart Olson, City Administrator CC: Date: November 1, 2017 Subject: Fourth amendment to Imperial Investments TIF agreement 1 FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE REDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE DOWNTOWN YORKVILLE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA (Imperial Investments, LLC) THIS FOURTH AMENDMENT (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Redevelopment Agreement for the Downtown Yorkville Redevelopment Project Area dated April 23, 2012, as amended January 8, 2013, April 9, 2013 and July 18, 2013, by and between the United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois, a municipal corporation (hereafter the “City”) and Imperial Investments, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (hereafter the “Developer”), is dated this ____ day of _____________, 2017.

Bart Olson Administration Name Department Summary Approval of a TIF inducement resolution for 301 S Bridge Street, currently under ownership by Jefferson Properties Limited, Inc. Background City staff has been in contact with Jeff Muellner of Jefferson Properties Limited, Inc, who is the long-time owner of the 301 South Bridge Street property. This property generally encompasses the north half of the courthouse hill (with the realtor sign) and the southwest hard corner of Van Emmon and Route 47. Jefferson Properties Limited has expressed interest in doing site improvements at a date yet to be determined to make the property more attractive to a subsequent developer. In order to consider site improvements, the owner has let us know that TIF assistance will be required. In order to preserve the right to request future reimbursement of any eligible redevelopment project costs being incurred prior to the negotiation and approval of a Development Plan and a Redevelopment Agreement, State law mandates that the Corporate Authority acknowledge that a development plan is being undertaken in order to permit these expenses to be “potentially” reimbursable from future revenues received as a result of the approved plan and project. As you are aware, this TIF inducement resolution makes no guarantee as to the amount or type of assistance to the owner, as these items will get negotiated with the City at a later date. Finally, the resolution specifically states that all undertakings by the City are contingent upon the City’s approval of an agreement for the development of the property. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the TIF inducement resolution with Jefferson Properties Limited, Inc.

Candidate Analyses: Of the three (3) firms interviewed, Farr Associates’ proposal scored the highest with a combined average score by the staff reviewers of 90.9 out a possible 100 points, as detailed below: FARR ASSOCIATES THE LAKOTA GROUP TESKA ASSOCIATES Methodology 29.3 30.6 32.3 Project Team Experience 24.3 24 22 Relevant Projects 18.3 18 17.3 Project Schedule 10 10 10 Project Cost 9 8.3 8 TOTAL AGGREGATE SCORE 90.9/100 90.9/100 89.6/100 Farr Associates Proposal The above scoring was based on Farr Associates’ providing the strongest interview/in-person presentation, project methodology, an interdisciplinary project team (architects and planners) and depth of recent relevant projects of all the submittals. Their proposal also offered a five (5) layered project approach detailed below under “Methodology”. Methodology The first layer of the Farr Associate’s approach to the Downtown Overlay District Streetscape Master Plan with Form-Based Code was an “Anchoring Yorkville”. As presented, Farr Associates felt a major goal of Yorkville’s Comprehensive Plan Update “…was creating a shared identity and sense of belonging among residents” throughout the entire City. This would include promoting and enhancing downtown as the civic anchor of the City as well as a retail, dining and recreational destination for residents. Second layered approach was to foster a distinctive urban design that promoted a walkable sense of place. This would integrate pedestrian-scaled building setbacks and public area treatments (such as engaging ground floor facades), appropriated sized blocks and identification of public and/or private parking locations. The next layer includes placemaking, or the practice of creating quality exterior spaces that contribute to people’s health, happiness, well-being and an overall feeling of connection. Some strategies proposed by Farr Associates are the development of a central gathering place, creation of a variety of walk-to destinations for dining, entertainment and daily services. The fourth layer to the project approach consists of defining a “hierarchy of streets” where some primary streets are viewed as the heart of the downtown focus area for retail and active uses. Other streets will be viewed as secondary streets which are located in proximity to the primary streets but offer supporting services such as parking, office or residential uses. 4 Finally, the form-based code layer of the project approach will include a detailed streetscape vision plan, 3-D massing/modeling to determine appropriate scale and identify opportunities for streetscape design improvements to existing structures/buildings. The resulting regulations will be a concise, clearly narrated and organized code with extensive illustrations, graphics and tables. Relevant Projects Along with their thorough technical code and design approaches, Farr Associates offered five (5) relevant project summaries all consisting of downtown and neighborhood master plans with form-based code regulations. These projects span a period of 5 years, with the earliest in 2011 (Uptown Normal Master Plan & Form-Based Code – Normal, Illinois) and the most recent in 2016 (Envision 8th Corridor Master Plan & Form-Based Code – Traverse City, Michigan). Staff has reviewed some of these studies and also contacted the former clients to understand the working relationship they had with Farr Associates and the fulfillment of deliverables promised. The results of those reference interviews as provided under “Candidate References”. Project Team Experience Farr Associates has provided public and private sector clients with architecture and urban planning design related services for nearly 30 years. The project team assembled for this Downtown Overlay District proposes an interdisciplinary approach which allows their plans to see the big picture and translate it into actionable implementation. Project Cost & Project Schedule Per the proposal, Farr Associates will provide the Downtown Overlay District for $74,400.00, which includes nearly 500 hours of work. The fee estimate includes plan preparations, meeting attendance and public engagement workshops/pop up events, as well as the production of materials and copies required as part of the RFP. Additionally, the proposal cost was the least of the submitted proposal fees. As presented, this proposal is estimated to have a total nine (9) month completion schedule with the preparation of a 1st draft of the form-based overlay and streetscape vision plan within 4-5 months. The Lakota Group Proposal The Lakota Group’s overall aggregate score of 90.6 out of 100 was tied with Farr Associates. Their interview presentation and strong sub-consultants, particularly in form-based code and community branding, were the most dynamic of the group, which placed them very competitively with the preferred candidate. Additionally, the highlight of their proposal was their intimate knowledge of Yorkville, having completed the Comprehensive Plan Update 2016, and previous downtown streetscape plans in nearby communities such as Plainfield, Illinois. However, where staff made the distinction between Farr Associates and the Lakota Group was Farr’s vast catalogue of in-house form-based code preparation experience, site specific design capabilities, in-house inter-disciplines and most importantly, the ability to reimage or bring fresh ideas to the implementation strategies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan Update prepared by the Lakota Group. Teska Associates’ Proposal The RFP response submitted by Teska Associates was very similar to the Lakota Group proposal with regard to methodology. It was staff’s opinion, that although a branding and form-based code consultant was provided as part of the project team; the overall proposal lacked an in-depth body of current or previous form-based code projects. Houseal LaVigne Assoc. Proposal The RFP response submitted by Houseal LaVigne and Associates was the only proposal to not include all the requested RFP components, such as an interactive project website and web-based civic engagement which were offered as optional. Incidentally, Houseal Lavigne’s proposal had the highest 5 project fee of all RFP’s submitted at approximately $75,730 (with the options). Based upon this, it was staff’s decision not to advance this firm to the interview process. Farr Associate’s References: In support of staff’s recommendation for RFP contract award to Farr Associates for the Downtown Overlay District Streetscape Master Plan with Form-Based Code, we have conducted reference interviews with previous clients of Farr Associates and summarized those discussions below. Mercy Davison – Town Planner, Uptown Normal Master Plan Main Street Form-Based Code: • Remarkable experience working with Farr Associates; absolute pleasure to work with them • Very visionary in their approach to design and code writing with great ideas for implementation • High level quality product with superior graphics and supporting staff • The plan prepared for Uptown Normal “…completely transformed the central business district” and they are still building and implementing aspects of the plan today. • Work is timely and the team is highly responsive to comments/recommendations of client • Have hired Farr Associates multiple times over the past almost 20 years for three (3) major projects and several smaller side projects. Would definitely hire again. Russ Soyring – Director of Planning, Envision 8TH Street Traverse City Michigan: • Highly recommend; very professional and maintained schedule • Worked well with staff and public on a contentious corridor design project with form-based code elements • Marvelous job at easing tensions and soothing flare-ups with an engaged community to build a consensus on a project element or issue. • Requested an additional public meeting to ensure they had all the necessary input so as not to rush their recommendations and get the job right with full community support. Staff Recommendation: Based on the strong methodology, inter-disciplined project team, reasonable proposed project costs and favorable reference reviews, it is staff’s recommendation to award the RFP contract for the Downtown Overlay District and Streetscape Master Plan with Form-Based Code to Farr Associates for a total commitment of $74,400.00 as outlined in the RFP submittal. Staff will be in attendance at Tuesday’s meeting to answer any questions the EDC members may have regarding this recommendation.

Proposal Contact Christina Bader Director of Marketing 53 W. Jackson Blvd. Suite 650 Chicago, IL 60604 (312)408-1661 x203 christinab@farrside.com Sincerely, Doug Farr, FAIA, CNU-A, LEED AP President, Farr Associates The Monadnock Building 53 West Jackson Blvd. Suite 650 Chicago, Illinois 60604 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Farr Associates is pleased to submit this RFP response for the City of Yorkville's Downtown Overlay District Streetscape Master Plan & Form-Based Code. We are a firm of urbanists, passionate architects, and planners invested in cities and towns, sustainability and leadership. We have a regional portfolio of downtown streetscapes and form-based codes– with built results. Several examples have been provided in this proposal. We are excited at the possibility to work with the City on this important assignment. The timing is right for Downtown initiatives, building off the adoption of the City's award-winning comprehensive plan, The Yorkville Plan. A CENTER FOR YORKVILLE A major goal of The Yorkville Plan was creating an shared identity and sense of belonging among residents, many of whom live outside the historic core of the City in new developments. Promoting and enhancing downtown as the civic anchor of the City is a strong strategy to help with this. Giving residents a strong, positive vision of downtown that they can identify with will be the emphasis of our work. URBAN DESIGN & PLACEMAKING Farr Associates excels at creating walkable, pedestrian-scaled places, and we will develop specific strategies for improving and enhancing these characteristics for Downtown Yorkville's existing good bones. Our expertise comes from knowing the fine grain principles of walkability – appropriate sized blocks, building entrances on the street, locating parking behind buildings, and creating engaging ground floor facades with high levels of transparency. These strategies will be integrated into our streetscape design recommendations and code requirements. Our practice has also been increasingly focused on placemaking. While placemaking can result in different outcomes depending on the project, it seeks to create quality spaces that contribute to people’s health, happiness, well being, and a feeling of connection. We utilize several approaches to placemaking – including the development of a central gathering place and creating a variety of walk-to destinations for meals, entertainment, and daily services. DEVELOPING THE RIGHT TOOLS The RFP outlines several priorities that center around providing an engaging public realm and predictable, high quality development. We propose to deliver these results with two deliverables: Streetscape Vision Plan We will develop a Streetscape Vision Plan for the Downtown Study Area, which will include a physical design vision for Downtown and identify opportunities for streetscape design improvements to beautify the corridor and boost economic development. Much of this information will be codified into the Downtown Overlay District, but this document will include information that would not typically appear in a code document. Downtown Form-Based Overlay District We will develop form-based code overlay for the Downtown Study Area. The resulting regulations will be concise, clearly narrated and organized, and extensively illustrated, using graphics and tables for clarity. This project offers an exciting opportunity to assist the City of Yorkville in setting and implementing a future vision for Downtown, and we are inspired to be a part of it. Our response showcases our team's prior experience, and we welcome a discussion with the City to demonstrate how it relates and informs the important work to be done.

Despite the presence of this large market for goods and services, the downtown has been in a prolonged state of decline, marked by reduced retail choices and deferred building maintenance. The preliminary $211 million redevel- opment plan is anchored by a urban design centerpiece circular plaza, an Amtrak multi-modal high speed rail facility, and a new children’s museum. ENVISION EIGHTH CHARRETTE & CORRIDOR PLAN, TRAVERSE CITY, MI Eighth Street, an important cross-town connector in Traverse City, suffers from an identity crisis. It is overly wide, promoting speeding traffic though nodes of walkable development, mixed with small-scale strip centers and large front parking lots. Farr Associates led a week-long charrette process that helped unpack a controversial road diet implemented by the City the year prior. The charrette delivered a consen- sus-based plan for a new street section along the corridor with innovations for bikes, and a master plan for the land uses surrounding the corridor. MAIN STREET FORM-BASED CODE, NORMAL, IL To further the recommendations of the Town's Main Street Redevelopment Plan, Farr Associates was hired to create a form-based code for the Main Street Corridor. The Corridor is five miles long and stretches through two municipalities, two uni- versity campuses, and a large healthcare facility. While much of the Corridor is auto-oriented in nature, the community expressed strongly, through the adopted Main Street Plan, that the corridor should shift courses toward pedestrian-oriented development. WEST EVANSTON FORM-BASED CODE, EVANSTON, IL The City of Evanston hired Farr Associates to create an form-based overlay for the West Evanston neighborhood that was rapidly changing. After the City imposed a development moratorium in response to the community’s disappointment with new development in the area, Farr Associates worked with the community to create a master plan and overlay that would attract more appropriate, pedestrian-oriented development. DOWNTOWN NORTH IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, MUNDELEIN, IL Building on the success of their recently adopted Station Area Plan, the Village turned it focus to the area immediately north. The Downtown North Implementation Plan has several strategic components– including visioning studies for catalytic rede- velopment parcels, a streetscape redevelopment plan for the North Hawley, a major route through the study area, and a regional bike trail connection. DOWNTOWN BLOOMINGTON MASTER PLAN, BLOOMINGTON, IL Farr Associates developed a master plan for the historic downtown of Bloomington, Illinois. The City is regionally known for its intact historic downtown, so the plan balances the importance of preservation with the downtown's development pres- sures. The City was especially interested in infill redevelopment scenarios for several catalytic sites, which the plan illustrates with multiple options that respect the area's historic fabric.

TINLEY PARK 80TH STREET TOD REDEVELOPMENT PLAN, TINLEY PARK, IL Farr Associate was retained by the Client of Tinley Park to create a redevelopment plan for a 280-acre site of a former State of Illinois Mental Health Campus that was vacated in 2011. The site, which sits directly adjacent to the 108th Street Metra Station, offers a rare opportunity to pursue TOD on a large-scale blank canvas in the mostly built-out client. The plan proposes three different walkable neighborhood schemes that each feature access to nature via stormwater parks and habitat areas, active living through trails, and community engagement through mixed use centers.. CENTRAL-MAIN STREET AREA PLAN UPDATE, WEST CHICAGO, IL Farr Associates is working with the City of West Chicago to update their 2007 Central- Main Street Redevelopment Plan, which sits at the heard of their commuter rail station area. Launching into a recession-impacted real estate market, the plan stalled on sev- eral catalyst site redevelopments. The Plan Update will look at how to leverage City investments that were implemented, like a new station area streetscape, to interest area residential and commercial developers. TOLEDO CIVIC CENTER CHARRETTE, TOLEDO, OH U.S. EPA retained Farr Associates to lead a three-day charrette to develop a sus- tainable redevelopment vision for Toledo’s 30-acre Civic Center based on new GSA building projects for the site. The charrette explored various design options for green infrastructure, site circulation, public art and programming. Grant joined Farr Associates in 2016 as an urban designer and planner. His priorities include designing more attractive, economically and environmentally sustainable communities that create lasting connections between place and people.

The study compiled unique data pertaining to potential land uses to beautify and increase productivity on Detroit’s vacant land. The findings will inform the next step in the process, which is a Comprehensive Open Space Plan for Detroit. DETROIT MIX TAPE ZONING, DETROIT, MI Farr Associates is leading a design team competitively chosen by the City of Detroit in this one-of-a-kind initiative to reduce red tape in development projects. In three strategic corridors in the city, the team is crafting an innovative redevelopment vision, then testing those ideas against the City’s existing approval processes. DOWNTOWN DEARBORN REDEVELOPMENT PLAN, DEARBORN, MI Farr Associates worked with Conservation Design Forum on redevelopment plans for several large Downtown surface parking lots. A multi-day charrette was convened with stakeholders to develop and test plan ideas. UPTOWN MASTER PLAN UPDATE NORMAL, IL - LIVING COMMUNITY CHALLENGE PILOT After a successful master planning effort of the Uptown area in Normal led by Farr Associates in 2001 that saw over $211 million in public and private sector investment, the Town hired Farr Associates to develop a plan for the area directly south of Uptown– cur- rently cut off from the area by high speed rail tracks. The plan focuses on how to bring the benefits of Uptown investment south of the tracks through urban design strategies and a centerpiece underpass. "ENVISION EIGHTH" CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN, TRAVERSE CITY, MI Eighth Street, an important cross-town connector in Traverse City, suffers from an identity crisis.

An ambitions plan was undertaken to create a sense of place downtown, where there previously had been none. The plan was built around a new traffic circle and plaza anchored by an existing Amtrak facility. Well into its implementation phase, the redevelopment plan has far exceeded initial goals. The centerpiece Uptown Circle has become a major civic attraction, with the added benefit of on-site stormwater treatment. Thanks to a TIGER federal grant, a new multi-modal high speed rail facility replaced the undersized Amtrak station in 2012. A new hotel/conference facility and a LEED Silver certified children’s museum located downtown. This redevelopment activity has spurred $200 million in new private sector investment throughout the area. Implementation has been aided by a form-based code for the area. The code requires high levels of ground floor transparency, entrances on the street, limits required off-street parking, and requires properties adjacent to the Circle feature a pedestrian arcade. UPTOWN REGULATING PLAN KEY STAFF Doug Farr Aly Andrews To further the recommendations of the Town's Main Street Redevelopment Plan, Farr Associates was hired to create a form-based code for the Main Street Corridor. The Corridor is five miles long and stretches through two municipalities, two university campuses, and a large healthcare facility. While much of the Corridor is auto-oriented in nature, the community expressed strongly, through the adopted Main Street Plan, that the corridor should shift courses toward pedestrian-oriented development. The form-based code focuses on preserving existing residential neighborhoods while encouraging commercial development that is walkable and aesthetically appealing. To accomplish this goal, ten districts and nine building types specific to the area were created. The form-based code also includes permitted uses as well as parking, landscape, and signage standards. Since adoption in 2010, mixed use buildings and commercial buildings have been developed in an area that had previously been auto-oriented strip center development. The urban design of these new buildings help to re-balance Main Street from a heavily trafficked auto corridor, to an area where large numbers of nearby Illinois State University students like to walk, live, and shop. Main Street Form-Based Code Bloomington and Normal, Illinois The regulating plan for the form-based code defines ten new districts created specifically to address urban design issues along the Corridor. Each district allows a unique mix of permitted building types and uses to accomplish the goals of the district. MAIN STREET FORM-BASED CODE NORMAL, ILLINOIS TOWN OF NORMAL This new corner commercial building was designed to hold the corner, with parking located in the rear. Medium depth setbacks were used to buffer traffic and lack of on street parking. Patios or other landscaping treatments are required in these setback area. KEY STAFF Doug Farr As the Village of Mundelein seeks to distinguish itself from other North and Northwest Chicago suburban communities, it has recently undergone a series of planning efforts to help improve and revitalize its downtown and adjacent areas. While Downtown Mun- delein is mostly occupied, multiple vacant parcels and obsolete structures have created large areas of little or no activity. In an effort to attract new residents and businesses to the Village, the Downtown North Imple- mentation Plan prioritizes and focuses on six strategic, incremental strategies that foster development oppor- tunities of all scales that offer best practices for urban density, walkability, and parking requirements. Understanding that transitioning industrial uses and large residential or mixed use redevelopments can only happen as fast as the market dictates, the Down- town North Plan actively builds on the Village’s existing assets and takes advantage of incremental improve- ments– such as tactical infrastructure like parklets and programming for temporary events that draw residents into downtown for food, drinks, and entertainment. An asset in downtown Mundelein is its small-block street grid and diagonal streets, introduced by the geometry of the rail tracks. However, multiple ROWs within downtown are in need of updates to transition from industrial to mixed-use, commercial, and residen- tial land uses. The plan provides options for improv- ing the streetscape to incorporate on-street parking, improved sidewalks, and new bike infrastructure.

To ensure new development be a pedestrian- friendly as possible, Farr Associates developed a form-based districts for their downtown and adjacent residential areas for what is known as the Citywalk District. Building off their many downtown civic investments in recent years, including a new fire station, farmers market, and civic plaza, the code ensures that buildings have entrances on the street, and parking behind buildings. Due to the lack of on street parking and four travel lanes on Florissant Road, the code requires a build-to- zone set back at least seven feet from the street to provide a buffer to pedestrians with a wider sidewalk. Also challenging were Downtown's two large creeks which flood yearly. Form regulations considered how to comfortably mix the need for raised first floors in flood-prone areas, while still being inviting to pedestrians. DOWNTOWN FERGUSON FORM-BASED DISTRICTS FERGUSON, MO CITY OF FERGUSON CITYWALK REGULATING PLAN NEW MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT UNDER CONSTRUCTION KEY STAFF Doug Farr 8th Street, an important cross-town connector in Traverse City, was a wide street, promoting speeding traffic though nodes of walkable development, mixed with strip centers and parking lots. The area was also confusing to cyclists looking for connections to nearby off-road trails. In contrast to the City’s adjacent successful pedestrian-friendly downtown, 8th Street had become a street with no identity. In late 2014, the City took action, implementing a road diet that shrunk the street from four lanes to three, with added on-street bike lanes. Community opinion splintered immediately. Those in favor enjoyed slowed traffic and less noise, and those against were upset with perceived new congestion and the addition of confusing bike lanes. Farr Associates was hired in 2016 to lead a week-long charrette process to help unpack the controversial road diet and lead the community through a visioning process for the corridor. The charrette delivered a consensus-based plan for a new street section along the corridor to be implemented in 2018. It keeps three traffic lanes coupled with an extremely popular off-street cycle track– a first for Traverse City. The process also solidifies the community's desire for the area to become more walkable. A form-based code was developed to implement the project which focuses density at two nodes and ensures news walkable development along the corridor's length.

The work for this project will build off the parking study, Courthouse Hill, and wayfinding projects already underway. ANCHORING YORKVILLE A major goal of The Yorkville Plan was creating an shared identity and sense of belonging among residents, many of whom live outside the historic core of the City in new developments. Promoting and enhancing downtown as the civic anchor of the City is a strong strategy to help with this. Giving residents a strong, positive vision of downtown that they can identify with will be the emphasis of our work. DISTINCTIVE URBAN DESIGN THAT FOSTERS A WALKABLE SENSE OF PLACE Our team excels at creating walkable, pedestrian- scaled places, and we will develop specific strategies for creating an active and walkable area throughout the Downtown. Our expertise comes from knowing the fine-grain principles of walkability– appropriate sized blocks, locating parking well, and creating engaging ground floor facades with people-scaled setbacks, that we will design in the redevelopment scenarios. Our proposed plans will foster a sense of place on the site, integrating it with surrounding areas. PLACEMAKING Farr Associates’ design practice has been increasingly focused on placemaking. While it can have different results depending on the project, it seeks to create quality spaces that contribute to people’s health, happiness, well being, and feeling of connection. We utilize several approaches to placemaking– including the development of a central gathering place and creating a variety of walk-to destinations for meals, entertainment, and daily services. A HIERARCHY OF STREETS Part of successful urban walkability is understanding that not all streets are created equal when it comes to design aesthetics. For every pristine, walkable street, downtowns will always need streets for parking, loading, and higher volumes of traffic. An important part of planning for streetscapes or writing codes is determining this hierarchy. We will work with the City and the community to determine Downtown's A Streets and B Streets, looking several years into the future. "A" STREETS A streets are the heart of the downtown focus area, along which retail and active uses are located. These streets contain a significant number of retail establishments, and have a number of destinations fronting them or within a block of them. "B" STREETS “B” streets are those that are located in close proximity to “A” streets, but may not be appropriate for a high concentration of retail uses due to fast-moving traffic or other constraints. These streets are often more conducive to parking, office, and residential uses. These streets still deserve a high level of care and amenities like sidewalks, good lighting, and shade should still be provided. DEVELOPING THE RIGHT TOOLS The RFP outlines several priorities that center around providing an engaging public realm and predictable, high quality development. We propose to deliver these results with two deliverables: STREETSCAPE VISION PLAN We will develop a Streetscape Vision Plan for the Downtown Study Area, which will include a physical design vision for Downtown and identify opportunities for streetscape design improvements to beautify the corridor and boost economic development. Much of this information will be codified into the Downtown Overlay District, but this document will include information that would not typically appear in a code document. DOWNTOWN FORM-BASED OVERLAY DISTRICT We will develop form-based code overlay for the Downtown Study Area. The resulting regulations will be concise, clearly narrated and organized, and extensively illustrated, using graphics and tables for clarity. METHODOLOGY TASK 1: PROJECT ORIENTATION The initial phase of the project serves to familiarize us with Downtown Yorkville, key planning documents, and existing zoning. This will be accomplished through detailed review of plans, codes, other documents, and a physical survey of the existing conditions. Task 1.1 Project Kickoff Meeting The consultant team will attend a Kickoff Meeting with City staff. The meeting will set a common base of understanding for the project’s goals, perceptions, and schedule. During this meeting, zoning concerns as well as opportunities and constraints related to the new code will be discussed. Task 1.2 Review Existing Plans & Codes Farr Associates will thoroughly review The Yorkville Plan, existing zoning regulations for the community, and any relevant neighborhood and special area plans. This review will give us a base of knowledge upon which to begin our more detailed design analysis and code development. Task 1.3 Site Survey Farr Associates will inventory and assess the Downtown study area existing conditions to become familiar with physical details and patterns of development. We will photographically survey the area and take any necessary measurements. Task 1.4 Generate Necessary Background Maps The City has indicated they have a large data set of GIS information that we will ask to be shared with us, including parcel, building, and curb lines, along with property ownership and any existing zoning information. We will then compile this digital information into a base map, which will be used throughout the project as a common graphic image. TASK 2: PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT Effective public participation is critical to the success of any planning process. We will work closely with the City to develop an agenda that maximizes the opportunity for public input. Task 2.1 Project Website Farr Associates will create a user-friendly and interactive project website. The design and content of the site will ensure that all visitors, regardless of their background, understand the of the urban design vision for Downtown and the impacts of the proposed zoning overlay. We envision a fully interactive and updatable website built on a WordPress platform. Farr Associates will work with the City to approve the website design, and test the site before it posted for the public. The website features include an interactive mapping tool, web-based Image Preference Survey, calendar, news updates, and document downloads. Task 2.2 Stakeholder Interviews / Focus Groups A day or interviews/focus groups will be conducted to get the firsthand insight of those most invested in the study area. We will work with the City identify and schedule these meetings. Task 2.3 Public Workshop #1: Kickoff Meeting A project kick off meeting will be held for residents that will introduce the project and goals of the City for the area. We also will seek their ideas for creating a vision for the ultimate physical development of the corridor. We will likely lead two input exercises: Input Activity 1: Keypad Polling Keypad polling is a wireless technology that allows for instantaneous polling of a room of people on a set of questions. The polling technology can be used to pose yes-no, either-or or multiple-choice questions pertaining to any aspect of the project. Input Activity 2: Image Preference Survey The IPS is a powerful tool that we often make use of to elicit group preferences on community character and appearance, especially for inclusion into zoning codes and development guidelines. In an IPS, participants are shown a series of image slides, each containing photographs of building types and streetscape related to appropriate categories. To offer a full range of options, contemporary images are typically drawn from local, regional, and national examples. The key, however, is a qualitative discussion of the results at the end of the meeting. The results of this process are used to establish preferred development types and mandatory or recommended design standards for new development in the neighborhood. Once the quantitative results are tallied and combined with documentation of the qualitative discussion for each image, a clear picture of consensus community desires is revealed. SCOPE OF WORK The results of the public workshop will be tallied and reported back to the City and ultimately informs the final code document. Summary sheets with brief descriptions will be provided in digital format to be posted to the project website. Task 2.4 Public Meeting #2: Open House After the has have been drafted and initially revised, the consultant team and City will hold a Public Open House. A brief formal presentation of the code will be made by Farr Associates. The consultant/client team will then “staff” stations around the room and record community input and reactions. These comments will be recorded for the City to review and choose to incorporate or not. TASK 3: STREETSCAPE VISION PLAN We will develop a Streetscape Vision Plan for the Downtown Study Area. Much of this information will be codified into the Downtown Overlay District, but this document will include more information about the Downtown vision and illustrated urban design best practices that would not appear in a code document. The results of the tasks in this phase will be combined into a highly graphic document to illustrate the vision for Downtown and streetscape improvements. Task 3.1 Establish the Downtown Urban Design Vision Based on the results from the public workshop and priorities and goals from The Yorkville Plan, the team will establish a vision for the for the ultimate physical development of the corridor. This will include the work of establishing the A and B streets and aesthetic characteristics. Task 3.2 Illustrated Urban Design Best Practices The team will illustrate urban design best practices for Downtown which may include photos or graphical illustrations of examples for strategies such as: • Massing examples • Pavement improvements • Parkway/planting zone treatments • Building orientation • Parking availability • Pedestrian improvements • Downtown-scaled open space • Seasonal strategies for our four-season climate • Street furniture • Passive or active green space • Water features or other public art features Task 3.3 Streetscape Master Plan A Streetscape Master Plan will identify opportunities for enhancements to beautify the corridor and improve economic development. This includes material recommendations, color palettes, public art, signage, and public spaces. TASK 4: DRAFT DOWNTOWN OVERLAY DISTRICT Task 4.1 Draft Form-Based Downtown Overlay District Standards Based on the development goals and information collected during the public workshop, Farr Associates will develop form-based code overlay for the study area. The resulting regulations will be concise, clearly narrated and organized, and extensively illustrated, using graphics and tables for clarity. The Downtown Overlay District will contain the following chapters: REGULATING PLAN The regulating plan created for this area will fold easily into the respective City’s existing map. USE STANDARDS Land use is a critical consideration when developing codes for any community. We will review existing land uses, and make recommendations as needed to fit the desired character for the area. BUILDING FORM STANDARDS We will develop an appropriate variety of building types for the study area. In this way, we ensure that the scale of development is appropriate for the surrounding area. For each building type, the code will establish standards for elements like building placement and height, window placement and quantity, entrance placement and quantity, building access design, facade proportioning, entrances, parking, vehicular access, service, use, and special design features. STREET STANDARDS Street types will be defined, illustrated, and mapped to ensure that the streets are not developed or redeveloped outside the district context. A and B Streets will be identified. For each street type, the code will establish standards for sidewalks, planting or furnishings zones, travel lane widths, bike traffic, parking, curb geometry, trees, and/or lighting. LANDSCAPE STANDARDS Landscape standards will be developed that foster aesthetically pleasing developments, minimize adverse visual impacts, and to improve the appearance of the public right-of-way. PARKING STANDARDS Parking standards are crafted reflect the realities of Downtown Yorkville. The area features on-street parking and public parking, we will analyze how this available parking supply may affect off-street parking requirements. SIGNAGE STANDARDS Signage can have a large impact on the visual quality and scale of a district. We will include signage types appropriate for Downtown Yorkville. SUPPLEMENTAL DESIGN GUIDELINES While form-based regulations include many design requirements, often there is an additional level of design that may require some flexible for implementation. Design guidelines can be an important element of a code that affect building appearance and district cohesiveness. They improve the physical quality of buildings, enhance the pedestrian experience, and protect the character of the neighborhood. Farr Associates will draft design guidelines that may include elements like facade materials, window treatment, awnings, shutters, balconies, and building variety. Task 4.2 1st Draft Code Review & Revision Farr Associates will present the Draft Downtown Overlay to the City. The City will be responsible for collecting comments, suggestions, and questions from this meeting and subsequent staff reviews and consolidating them into a series of clear action items for revision or response by the consultant. Task 4.3 2nd Draft Code Review & Revision Upon making the revisions, a complete second draft of the code will be provided to the City, as well as the public via on-line posting for additional review and discussion. Changes to the document will be highlighted and color-coded for ease of review. Once again, the City will be responsible for collecting comments, suggestions, and questions from these meetings and consolidating them into a series of clear action items for revision or response by Farr Associates. TASK 5: ADOPTION 5.1 Downtown Streetscape Vision Plan & Overlay District Adoption The team will work with City staff to determine what involvement will be necessary during adoption proceedings. Farr Associates will present and attend up to three meetings with the Plan Commission and City Council.

The property is located south of U.S. Route 34 and west of McHugh Road. This memorandum summarizes all of the submitted materials which will be reviewed at two separate public hearings. PROPERTY BACKGROUND: The parcel which the petitioner is seeking to annex into the City is currently located in unincorporated Kendall County. The property is currently zoned B-3 Highway Business District in Kendall County. Coffman Carpet’s retail store currently sits on the property with a shed in the rear and a storage trailer in the side yard. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: As proposed, the petitioners are seeking to annex their property into the City of Yorkville. Upon annexation, the property will automatically be zoned into the most restrictive zoning district which is the R-1 Suburban Residence District. Therefore, to accommodate the intended commercial use, the petitioner has requested to rezone the properties to the B-3 General Business District. Memorandum To: Economic Development Committee From: Jason Engberg, Senior Planner CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator Krysti Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director Date: October 31, 2017 Subject: PZC 2017-13 Casey's General Store (Annexation and Rezone) SW Corner of US 34 & McHugh Road The existing zoning and land use for properties surrounding the subject property are as indicated below: Zoning Land Use North Commercial Planned Unit Development Farm land East B-3 General Business District Heartland Business Center/Casey’s Development (recently approved) South B-3 Highway Business District (Kendall County) Residential Housing West B-3 Highway Business District (Kendall County) Car Dealership REQUESTS FORM THE PETIONER: The petitioners are seeking relief from certain parts of the Zoning Ordinance as well as reimbursement from their property taxes for a period of time through an annexation agreement. The requests are as follows: • The petitioners are seeking relief from Section 10-7-1 which requires a minimum side yard setback of 20 feet in the B-3 General Business District. Since the existing structure is 9 feet from the side lot line, they are requesting the minimum to be 9 feet from that side lot line. • The petitioners are seeking relief from Section 10-3-7 regarding trailers, tents, and boats. While the City does not allow the permanent use of a storage trailer on site, the petitioners are seeking to keep it in place for no more than 2 years. After this time period it will be removed from the property. • The petitioners are seeking relief from Section 10-20-9 regarding their monument sign. The maximum square footage of a monument sign in a business district less than 3 acres is 32 square feet. The existing sign is 43.5 square feet in area. They are requesting that this be allowed as is currently constructed. • The petitioners are requesting upon annexation that construction of sidewalks along U.S. 34 will not be required and no additional landscaping or lighting will be required. Additionally, the petitioner is requesting to not stripe the parking lot as it contains enough required parking per the zoning code. • The petitioners are requesting a property tax reimbursement which would have the City reimburse 100% of the City’s property taxes for the first 5 years and 75% of the City’s property taxes for the following 5 years. If the property is redeveloped to a significant extent, then the relief which the petitioners are seeking will not apply. This allows the business owners to continue to conduct their business but will not inhibit future development and conformation to the City’s standards. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 2016 Comprehensive Plan designates this property for mid-density residential uses. While this is not the proposed use or zone, adjacent properties are designated for neighborhood retail and destination commercial which is consistent with the existing Coffman Carpets store. The type of use and zone meets the intent of the Comprehensive Plan since commercial development along Route 34 is of high priority and the existing commercial use is consistent with nearby uses. STAFF COMMENTS: Staff is seeking comments from the Economic Development Committee in regards to this proposed annexation, rezoning, and requests for an annexation agreement. This annexation request is a result of the Casey’s General Store development which needs this property to be annexed into the City to fit the necessary utilities for that site. A public hearing for the rezoning will be conducted at the Planning and Zoning Commission on November 8, 2017 at 7:00PM. The public hearing for the annexation agreement will be held at City Council on November 14 at 7:00PM. Staff is available to answer any questions the Economic Development Committee may have and will forward all comments and concerns to both the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council.
