1. PZC 2023-09 Amendments (See Full description above)
Ms. Noble stated that the recommendations made at the August 31st final UDO meeting
are not yet included in the UDO document. She also noted that staff received clear
direction from City Council that land size should not be changed in the R-1 and R-2
districts.
The Commissioners reviewed the recommended changes from the UDO Committee and
discussed some of them briefly. Ms. Noble then summarized the revisions and
recommendations made by PZC Commissioners as follows:
Chapter 2: Commissioners OK with dwelling unit rather than family unit
Chapter 3: Omit R-2-A zoning and leave R-1 and R-2 as they currently exist
Chapter 4: Change ADU: recommend attached homes be permitted outright and
detached should be special use
Chapter 5: Re: off-street parking : recommend the changes advisory committee stated--
2 spaces for single-family, change townhome parking spaces from 1.25 to 2.25
Chapter 6; eliminate all regulations for yard signs
Chapter 7: Subdivision standards: recommend to remove connectivity requirement; keep
cluster developments as PUD
Ms. Horaz asked about the “in lieu of fee parking”. Ms. Noble said if the parking
becomes an issue or is inadequate, City Council can revoke that.
The discussion of revisions concluded and Vice-Chairman Vinyard entertained a motion
to approve PZC 2023-09 Unified Development Ordinance. Mr. Williams made the
motion, (there was no second) and he read it as follows:

industrial uses as in the case of the upcoming lettuce farm. All are outright permitted,
said Ms. Noble, and these types of projects go through an engineering process. Staff has
also started doing research. Recycling batteries is also a concern for Ms. Horaz. Mr.

is a presentation that's above you and in front
of you that I will be going through. The UDO
started in March of 2019. The city initiated
this process to look at our various existing city
ordinances and combine them into one cohesive,
single reference, graphic dense document.
The city ordinances range from the
Zoning Ordinance, which was originally adopted in
1974 and last updated holistically in 2018. Our
Subdivision Control Ordinances and Standards,
which were adopted in 2004, our Landscaping
Ordinance, 2009, and then the Appearance Code in
2005.
So we combined all these documents
into a user friendly we call it Unified
Development Ordinance to address not only
residents who are looking to do something to
their home or their property and be able to find
everything in one location, but for developers
and staff as well.
So in the packet there is a very
robust memo that goes over each of the chapter
reviews. The UDO actually had a committee of its
own that met about 15 times over the last

four years to tweak the types of changes of
growth management that the city was looking for
and other chapters as far as processes, and
tonight is a presentation of those discussions.
I will let you know that the city
did have an open house open to the public on
August 31st to review the document, provide
comments, and the UDO Advisory Committee itself
held a meeting that night and proposed some
additional changes to the document that are not
included in tonight's presentation, but if
conversations are started by the public that want
to explore that information, a memo was provided
in there of the changes that the committee had
recommended on the 31st. So let's get started.
So the UDO, it's nine chapters, and
that includes a smart code, so we will start with
Chapters 1 and 3. So Chapter 1 itself is just
general provisions. It establishes -- there is a
time lag. It establishes the effective date of
the UDO document itself. If approved, we are
looking at an effective date of January 1st,
2024.
It just introduces the document,

provides some context, the authority, identifies
who the members are that are implementing the
ordinance itself, and sets the stage for the
document.
Chapter 2 deals with definitions.
Let's go back. We'll start with Chapter 3,
District Standards. So Chapter 3 talks about the
different districts and establishes the districts
and the purposes of those districts, but before
we get to those, we're going to jump back just a
little bit to Chapter 2. Chapter 2 is
definitions.
Basically this is a complete list of
the definitions that are referenced throughout
the UDO. It talks about updated definitions,
which provides clarity, and to the left you will
see an image of what that smart code would look
like, so if you are reviewing the code and you
see a term that's underlined, you don't
understand it, you put your mouse, hover over it,
and it will give you what the actual definition
is for that particular word so that you are not
jumping back and forth between pages of the
document, so it streamlines that process for the

reader.
There is some clarifications that
were made. In our current ordinance we use the
word structure and building kind of
interchangeably, which is not necessarily so when
you're looking at temporary structures or
permanent buildings, so we make the clean break
between what's a structure and what's a building.
We specified out professional office
uses versus personal care services. Right now
the ordinance says a barber is a professional
office. Well, we wanted to separate that out
because the definition of professional office is
anything -- any operation that requires you to be
licensed, so we wanted to make sure that we were
clear when we said office use that it was a
doc -- not doctor, I'm sorry, an attorney or a
lawyer versus, you know, nail technician. And
then animal hospitals versus veterinarians is
another example.
We also addressed new concepts for
development. There is enclosed auto sales now as
opposed to just open lot auto sales. There are
new changes in the car and automobile sales

industry where people are storing vehicles
off-site, making appointments for people to look
at the vehicles, instead of, you know, open sales
lot where you drive by and see all the vehicles
for sale, so we wanted to be able to accommodate
those uses in some of the industrial districts,
so an example would be a car lot type.
Enclosed versus outdoor public
storage facilities, the enclosed facilities are
just the single building with the units inside
the building. Those are more appropriate for a
business district where you have -- versus the
outdoor public storage facilities that you drive
up to, which would be more appropriate in an
industrial setting.
And then we have new uses, which is
data centers, vehicle charging stations and
battery storage. Those are more of the advanced
uses, energy uses, that are newer, that our code
just didn't address, and we will talk about that
more in the next public hearing.
So Chapter 3 delves into, as we
were mentioning earlier, the district standards,
so it kind of establishes what are the districts.

We went from a total of 15 districts down to 14
in the UDO. We kind of eliminated some
under-used or unused districts to combined some
districts together to streamline uses that are
similar. We modernized the permitted and special
use tables, we will get into that a little bit
more, and we did some minor adjustments to
permitted yard obstructions.
One thing that came out of the
discussion was porches, for instance. We were
allowing them to encroach about three feet within
a required yard, but if it's an open porch, the
committee decided to allow five feet of
encroachment where you don't have to get a
variation and it will allow for homes that have
short frontages to be able to take advantage of
an open porch situation.
So here is an example of a use
table. They are now categorized, easier to
understand, instead of just business, and then
all the businesses alphabetically. Guess we are
waiting for that one to catch up. That's all
right. There you go, it caught up.
What happens in this table is now

we're separating the uses, more sensible. So all
your agricultural uses, all your residential
uses, all your commercial service uses, so that
if you weren't familiar with how the city set up
its business district or its industrial district,
if you know what your use is, it will be easier
to find instead of searching through several
tables in the existing document. So those are
Chapters 1 through 3, kind of sets the stage.
Now we go on to Chapters 4 through
5, which is kind of the meat of the UDO itself.
The use standards. These establish the
districts, as we just mentioned, the ag, from ag
to alternative energy to institutional to even
our accessory and temporary uses, and then
Chapter 5 delves into how those uses look, the
development standards for each of those uses in
regards to off-street parking, landscaping,
fencing and outdoor lighting standards, so we
broke each of those categories down from
residential to commercial to industrial, and if
you look at the images here, it just talks about
some of the uses that we are now regulating, and
you can see there is the EV, electrical vehicle,

charging stations. So let's start with
residential. Give that time to catch up on the
screen. There is a lag on the -- there we go,
for the members that are viewing us remotely.
So there is new residential
standards. So we improved the residential
standards, development standards, relating to
multi-unit housing, so duplexes, townhomes, even
apartments, where we're allowing more of the
frontage to come up to the property line by
allowing an alley. It would be a private alley,
so that you are not faced with a lot of
streamline of garages on the frontage.
There is a concept called accessory
dwelling units, the ADU's, and within that there
is an accessory commercial unit, so the accessory
dwelling unit, you see that image in the middle.
The red areas indicate livable space that you can
have on your lot, they can be attached above a
garage or detached. The idea is that at a
maximum of 900 square feet you can have livable
space that's for a family member or someone that
you're caring for or that may be caring for a
loved one in your home, so that they would have

their own autonomous living space from the owner
itself. This has been very popular.
AARP has been recommending this as a
stop gap to some housing shortages for those that
are aging out of their home and are looking to
stay close to family.
Accessory commercial units, that's
the image to the left in the middle, that is kind
of like a she shed. If you had a small, you
know, home occupation, right now we do allow home
occupations, but they cannot be detached from the
home, so you can't operate a home occupation out
of your garage or out of a shed. Now we are
recommending that as a special use; you can
operate one of these detached commercial units on
your property.
The ADU itself right now is being
proposed as an outright permitted use, but that
can -- the recommendation that came out of the
meeting with the committee on the 31st was maybe
the detached unit would be a special use and the
attached use can be permitted use.
Off street parking, some of those
regulations that were tweaked. There is a

parking pad standard now. Right now if you were
to add additional driveway space on the side of
your garage, if you are within that required
setback, whatever it is for your district,
typically for R-2 District it's ten feet, you
would not be able to have that parking pad.
We are proposing to allow that
parking pad to happen with some type of screening
involved, it can be a fence, it can be landscape
screening, and so open driveway area, and it can
be as close as five feet to that side property
line.
So I have denied several permits for
people trying to do that. This is just a way for
us to address some of those concerns that we see
coming through and try and make it more usable,
the Zoning Ordinance, more usable for residents.
And also there is regulation now for
portable outdoor storage containers, those pods.
They are a temporary use and we kind of establish
where they can be located on the site and for how
long.
So for the commercial standards, a
lot of emphasis was put in trying to regulate

those future uses that would be coming along,
trying to get ahead of that. One, for instance,
is outdoor driving ranges, that you would see the
tower-type uses, we've added regulations for
that, massage parlors, we have now recommended
that they are special uses instead of outright
permitted uses.
We've talked about the indoor
storage, personal storage facilities, so it will
look like a building like that. Added more
bicycle parking regulations, kind of encouraging
that, and also giving a bonus if you do have
that, a reduction of some of your parking
requirements. Similar to that is the ride share
and the pick-up service that a lot of businesses
use now. So now we're regulating where those are
located, kind of want them off to the side so
they're not taking up so much of the closed
parking for people that are actually entering the
building, and also offering a reduction of the
required parking minimum for that as well.
Landscaping wise, the standards have
been beefed up a lot to address incompatible uses
or less intense uses next to a more intense use.

Right now our landscape requirements are very
basic about the transition space, it just kind of
gives a size and a number per linear foot of
landscape material that you have, but not really
addressing if I'm a resident and I'm next to --
you know, I back up to maybe a commercial use, so
we created transition zones, so you have Type A
through D, and A would be something that you
would have that are kind of compatible land uses,
you don't need as much screening, but it would be
nice to have some trees between you or another
development; B gets a little bit more intense,
all the way to D, for two incompatible land uses
that would be adjacent to each other to make sure
that that robust screening was there.
We also introduced a concept called
a fee in lieu, and we did it in two places. One,
we did it to off-street parking. There are some
situations where you cannot meet the minimum
parking requirements for a site, and if it is
justified, through the city council review
process, a maximum of 20 percent of off-street
parking can be substituted with a fee, so then
that fee would be used and appropriated to other

off-street parking space maintenance throughout
the city, so public spaces, public on-street
parking, public lots.
We also implemented that idea in the
landscaping ordinance, so there is a fee in lieu
for tree preservation. Say you develop a site,
can't replace all the trees that you are going to
remove on the site, well, now you can pay for
that to the city and the city will use those
funds, put it in a tree bank and plant trees
throughout the --
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: (Inaudible).
MS. NOBLE: Yeah, exactly.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Nice.
MS. NOBLE: Plant trees throughout the
city. And the final use standards is the
industrial development standards. So here is an
idea that was brought to us, we have some users
that want to do live/work space, so like loft
space above a working area, so we've come up with
a concept of an artisan manufacturing use. So
this is in the manufacturing district, it will be
a special use, so if an individual has a company
that produces something or assembles something on

a wholesale size, but also wants to live above
the unit, this is an option for them.
So there is an example of a bakery
on the first floor and then lofts above, so you
would have a maximum of one residential unit
allowed. We do allow this in one of our
commercial districts. We have a bakery downtown
that's actually utilizing that as a special use,
and so it can also be implemented in the
industrial districts as well.
We updated the alternative energy
regulations; if you notice, we've got a lot of
solar applications. We've passed two, we've got
a couple coming through in the future, so we have
adjusted that.
A lot of the solar companies have to
go through a variance process because of our
standard for the clearance. We wanted to make
that a less burdensome process, meet with the
current standards, development standards, for the
actual user. They want to be closer to the
ground, so we adjusted the minimum clearance on
that.
We did more mechanical screening

requirements for on-ground and above-ground
mechanical units for businesses and we modernized
our outdoor lighting standards.
So Chapters 6 and 7 delve into signs
as well as our subdivision standards. So in the
sign ordinance, we looked at the purpose of the
standards, the measurements, permitted signs,
temporary signs, and as well as maintenance
standards.
In our subdivision standards we
looked at how we regulated lots, street designs,
circulation within and connectivity within
developments, particularly residential, and even
commercial developments, and looked at new
concepts like cluster developments and
anti-monotony standards, kind of increased those,
as well as looked at our park and land
dedication.
So delving into the signs, did a
complete rewrite due to Reed versus Gilbert.
That was a 2015 case that dealt with the
regulation of content of signs. So the city
cannot regulate signs based off content anymore,
so the way that our current sign ordinance has --

let's say that would be an off-street -- off-site
sign, you can't determine that's an off-site sign
because we'd have to look at the content to be
able to determine that. We can't determine
that's a garage sale sign because we'd have to
look at the writing to determine it's a garage
sale sign.
So we did a content neutral sign
regulation, and so there is categories, so ground
mounted sign, wall sign, direct -- a yard sign.
Those types of things have been implemented.
So as far as the monument signs for
commercial, we looked at expanding the material
list for monument signs. We see on the right
side of the screen we have current regulations.
This is what our current regulations continue to
get us.
Our proposed regulations are looking
at different types of signs, signs that would
evoke different materials. If a higher quality
material is being proposed, you'll get a larger
sign, get a 48 square feet sign as opposed to the
current 32 square foot sign.

board signs in the downtown. We have a lot of
businesses that are east or west of 47 that don't
get a lot of exposure. This is an opportunity
for them to be able to use one sign that's within
750 feet of their entrance within the
right-of-way during their hours of operation.
Posting yard sign regulations have
been proposed. Right now we're looking at
posting signs for lots that face a major
thoroughfare having a larger square footage area
versus lots that do not, and then an unlimited
amount of signs during and before a local, state
or national election.
There is new landscape requirements
for ground signs. Right now we do not require
any landscaping at the base of the sign; hence
those are the signs that you see before you. So
what we are proposing is that for every square
foot of sign space you have to provide a half a
square foot of landscaping, so it's
proportionate, it's easy to regulate, and it will
soften up some of the appearances of the
businesses.
The other signs that are regulated

based on their proportion to the wall and not
just a set sign area, it's kind of difficult when
you are set hundreds of feet off of a major
thoroughfare and you only get 32 square feet and
no one can read the sign.
We increased the electronic message
board signage area from 50 percent of the sign to
80 percent, and then we updated the graphics in
the code itself so it's easier to read and
understand.
For the subdivision standards, some
of the major areas that we looked at was the lot
orientation. Again, people are looking at using
energy solutions, like roof-mounted solar panels,
so if we have an east-west kind of orientation of
our lots, that would be beneficial to them. It's
not a requirement, but it's recommended, just so
developers start thinking about how they lay out
their developments.
Block lengths, right now we are
still recommending our 1,350 linear feet for a
block, but we are encouraging shorter blocks, and
what we are proposing is a connectivity standard
where for every street that you lay out, you

should have two points of connectivity, so a
one-to-two ratio.
Most of our subdivisions have that,
or greater, they may have one-to-three, but it's
just a way to kind of break up the streetscape
and allow for better connectivity of
neighborhoods.
Street design elements were
included, a complete street design, so there is
various -- these are just a few standards for
street elements, so you'd have on-street parking,
you'd have a sidewalk, you'd have a multi-use
trail, a parkway, depending on the width of the
street, if it's a utility, if it's a neighborhood
street or if it's a larger thoroughfare, these
are some of the elements that would be required
in a street.
The only element that's not going to
be required is on-street bike path. That could
be left up to the city engineer if he would
recommend that on any of the public streets.
Cluster development, you will see
that in the upper left corner. This would be
similar to a PUD process. It will be a special

use, but what it's doing is utilizing the lay of
the lot better than just one unit per acre spread
out, typical suburban style development.
You would take the same, in this
example, 32-acre lot and on the urban -- the
conventional sprawl you would have one unit, one
dwelling unit per acre, and as a current
conservation, you would be saving some of these
environmental elements, excuse me, that are on
the site and then confining the development to
eight acres, so you would essentially still have
32 homes on 32 acres, but they would be
clustered.
Finally, we talked about
anti-monotony regulations. In the upper right
corner you will see the highlighted lots are the
ones that would typically have similar features
where they would be seen as the same. Excuse me.

you.
MS. BERG: Thank you. So for the --
Pardon me. I am Jackie Berg. I am the
consultant that helped the city with this
process.
So Chapter 8 is the UDO review and
approval process. This essentially has all of
the administrative procedures and approval done
here in the community, so the changes here were
all meant to simplify the language, really
clarify the process, so it's really easy and
simple for someone to walk through any type of
permit that they need or development approval.
Those steps are very clear, very transparent.
Then for Chapter 9, non-conforming
buildings, structures and uses, really not a lot
of major change to this section at all, carrying
forward the existing regulations that this
chapter deals with, either a building, a
structure or a use that was legally established,
but is no longer allowed in the code today, and
just steps out the standards for how those things
can be maintained and need to be located moving
forward.

MS. NOBLE: One feature in Chapter 8
that's new is that we have codified a lot of the
processes that we go through with development.
This was not always forward facing to the public,
the developer found out when they submitted an
application, so now we've codified and kind of
showed the process, so you come in and you ask
for a development, you'll know right away the
number of meetings, you'll actually know the
timing of the meetings and how the process works,
and also there is a recommendation for a
community meeting that staff can recommend to the
developer if a project we feel is going to be a
little bit much for the neighboring residents to
absorb.
It will give them a lot of time to
review the plans with the developer before they
are hit with a public hearing notice saying show
up to city council on Wednesday night to talk
about this project.
Then the final component of the UDO
is a smart code. Our codes are static, they are
books right now, not very user friendly for the
public, so we created a web forum where you can

actually go, look at certain sections of the code
that you are interested in, those are called the
quick reference or the quick tables, you can look
up maps, and there is also calculators involved
where you can calculate, if you wanted to do a
sign, what is the maximum size of the sign based
off of my zoning, the frontage of the building,
and that way you can have that information and
not necessarily have to, you know, put a permit
in hoping that you understood the code the best
you could and wait and see if it would be
approved.
The city has partnered in with
Encode Plus, and Encode Plus is a company that
actually partners with our code provider, so if
you go online and look at city code, you'll see
that we have it and it's static, you can click on
it, but the company that provides the muni code
also partners with our smart code company, Encode
Plus, and so this is a video that will just show
you how those two integrate and what you would
see.

transportable, you can view it from anywhere and
it's easier to use than the static presentation.
You can just look at the content.
So it's internet-based. It's used
by a lot of planners and zoning administrators
and even attorneys. It uses some cutting edge
technology. You can see, there is an example
right there, which shows what the code looked
like. You can even sign up for notifications, so
if the code is amended, you will be notified, if
there is any particular section you are looking
for. It's password protected, so no one can just
go in and change the code. A lot of communities
use it and they brand it themselves. It's
accessible anywhere, as I mentioned, and as the
city is moving to paperless, this is a great
option for us and we can update the code online
as well.
So that is the gist of the
presentation, and if anyone has any questions,
want to dive into the memo a little bit more, we
are here to answer those questions.

MOLLY KREMPSKI,
having been first duly sworn, testified from the
podium as follows:
MS. KREMPSKI: My name is Molly Krempski
and I represent the People. I would just like to
make a few comments about the newly proposed yard
sign regulations within the UDO plan.
Each of you have a lawful notice in
front of you that lists all the evidence for what
I am about to say. Those were delivered to the
council via certified mail on August 22nd.
Tonight I specifically discussing
restrictions for yard signs on private property,
all of which actually fall outside the authority
granted to city council. The key words are
private and public. It's true that our aldermen
have been granted some authority to regulate
public property; however, there are no provisions

within our constitutions that grant them the
authority to regulate private property rights, so
if they want to write codes for signs on public
property, they certainly have been granted the
authority to do so, but going beyond the
authority which they have been given is an
unreasonable and/or arbitrary use of power, which
is literally the definition of tyranny.
As much as we may be periodically
annoyed by our neighbor's collection of yard
signs, we cannot use it as an opportunity to
strip liberty and private rights from fellow
Americans.
Remember, unconstitutional
regulations that serve us today will be the same
regulations that will be used to oppress us in
the future.
The men who founded America knew
what it was like to live under an oppressive
monarch. As a result, they intentionally formed
America as a constitutional republic where power
originates from and remains with the people.
Their only higher authority was Jesus.

popular Revolutionary War response, we have no
king but Jesus, when George or King George tried
to force mandates on colonists. These men
understood their God given authority to live as
people. A few weeks ago at the UDO committee
meeting, Jackie, the consultant, explained that
because murals are art, which actually translates
to them being expression, which is protected by
our constitution, murals cannot be regulated.
In addition to the right of
expression, the people also have a right to the
security of their own private property, which per
our Constitutions is also not subject to
regulation like some public property.
Within America's constitutional
republic, public servants are selected by the
people who uphold the constitutions of the land.
Our aldermen took an oath to uphold these
constitutions before taking their seats. Elected
representatives are servants of the people,
granted the power to pass only those laws
necessary for carrying out the limited powers
specifically granted to them by the constitutions
of the land while respecting the rights of the

it's the premise of this whole thing. Elected
representatives are servants of the people,
granted the power to pass only those laws
necessary for carrying out the limited powers
specifically granted to them by the constitutions
of the land while upholding the rights of the
people.
Furthermore, the rights of the
people listed in the constitution are not the end
of the rights of the people; those are simply the
enumerated ones.
Article 1, Section 24 of the
Illinois Constitution clearly states that, quote,
the enumeration in this constitution of certain
rights shall not be construed to deny or
disparage others retained by the individual
citizens, end quote.
What does this mean? It means that
the people have reserved and retained any and all
power that has not been specifically granted to
the government.
America was established to operate

within a limited form of government that must
function within the narrow boundaries established
by the people. If a specific power is not given
to the government by the people, then the
government doesn't have that power.
While Article 7, Section 7 of the
Illinois Constitution does grant city
legislatures the power to do six specific things,
they must figure out how to do those six things
without trespassing any of the rights of the
people, whether the enumerated rights of
Article 1, the Bill of Rights of the Illinois
Constitution, or any other rights retained by the
people as discussed in Article 1, Section 24.
We have an obligation to oversee our
public servants, which by your presence at this
commission I can see you are taking seriously and
I thank you for the giving of your time.
We also have a duty to actively
assert our rights when public officials overstep
their granted power. We must know these
documents and the rights enumerated within them
in order to responsibly steward the power that
remains with the people, and we saw this with

COVID, unconstitutional mandates and shutdowns.
We need to start speaking out. It's
a lot easier to prevent an unconstitutional sign
ordinance from being passed than to reverse one
once enacted.
It's really not hard to read and
apply our founding documents. Our constitutions
were written by the people, just regular people,
to be executed by regular people for the benefit
of regular people.
So my point as it applies to this
specific hearing is that the city has not been
granted the power to regulate the people's
expression or private property by controlling the
size or position of our yard signs, similar to
the way that the government has not been given
the power to limit the number of pages in a book,
interfere with the distribution of campaign
materials or regulate the disbursement of
informational pamphlets.
Article 1, Section 4 and 6 of the
Illinois Constitution reserves to the people the
right to, quote, speak, write and publish freely,
and the right to, quote, be secure in their

persons, houses, papers and other possessions.
The power to regulate these rights
has not been granted to the city and I am here
tonight to ask you to join me in referring to the
fundamental principles of our constitutions and
our republic form of government for liberty and
freedom for all Americans. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Anyone else like to
speak in opposition?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Seeing as there are
none, are there any questions from the
commissioners for the petitioner, which would be
Krysti?
MR. WILLIAMS: I have one just for
clarification. I was just asking for --
MS. NOBLE: I think that mic is off.
The one that's green is on.
MR. WILLIAMS: Mine was just a question
for clarification. I saw that the definition for
family home was being changed to dwelling unit.
We're not broadening the definition, correct,
that was just a vocabulary change?
MS. NOBLE: Correct. Correct.

MR. WILLIAMS: Okay. Thank you.
MS. NOBLE: And the recommendation at
the UDO committee at the August 31st meeting was
to leave it as family, it's just we would have to
come up with a different definition for family.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: I'm glad you brought
that up. The UDO recommendations, was there
anything else they recommended from that?
MS. NOBLE: Sure. So if you look at the
packet, there were a couple of things. So the
connectivity part they recommended not to have in
the UDO.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Okay.
MS. NOBLE: There also was a
recommendation in regards to lot size, and we
have a member from the UDO committee, if they
want to expand upon that a little bit. There is
Deb, was also on the committee, and our
chairperson, Alderman Funkhouser.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Is this an
appropriate time to have him do it or --

want to present some of the --

do you want to expound on that or --
ALDERMAN FUNKHOUSER: I will briefly.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: All right. Thanks.
ALDERMAN FUNKHOUSER: Chris Funkhouser,
Alderman, 3rd Ward, chairman of the UDO. Deb
Horaz was on the committee with me, and we had
also three others; however, one of them had
stepped down from the position.
So Krysti mentioned at the UDO
committee on the 31st there were several
recommendations of the committee that were to put
back the recommendations that had been previously
taken out, so when looking at what was presented
tonight, that was based on a prior set of
recommendations.
At the subsequent final meeting of
the UDO, the recommendation was keep the
recommendations, so those replies are in regard
to the lot sizes, accessory dwelling units, if I
recall it was also the connectivity was
mentioned, and there were a couple more items
within that memo that Krysti mentioned was
attached.
So with those recommendations, it is

such -- those were just the recommendations of
the committee after further review, after having
gone through the Economic Development Committee,
that was also mentioned to them, that those
recommendations were made and put back in there.
So a lot of work has gone into this
thing. There is some very good recommendations.
Obviously Deb can attest to the amount of time
that was put into this and the complexity of it,
so for your very brief, but concise memo from
Krysti and the presentation, it's very good,
there is just an awful lot in here that's being
changed, so if you have questions, obviously
staff is fantastic, we have two -- our consultant
and Krysti, Deb was on here, she can articulate a
lot that was going on because we did go back and
forth on this quite a lot. We had several,
three, three and a half hour meetings, so --
But just read through that memo just
to understand the parts that were not in the
presentation tonight that are part of the
recommendation from the UDO that as this is
updated will be put back into the recommendation
that moves to the city council, also

incorporating your recommendations tonight,
assuming you make any recommendations, too.
Thank you.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Is that it?
ALDERMAN FUNKHOUSER: Yep.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Thanks. So we are
voting on this here? We are making a
recommendation?
MS. NOBLE: However you decide. We need
to go to the second public hearing right quick
and then we can close it and start the
deliberations.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Okay. Krysti, please
present PZC 2023-10, text amendment, please.
MS. NOBLE: Sure. So these are energy
industrial uses. Actually this request is
bundled into the proposed UDO, but the city
decided to separate these out just in case the
UDO takes a little bit longer for approval, but,
in general, we've also noticed a trend in
industrial users seeking expansive tracts of land
near rail, some on your intense road
transportation, and they are looking to construct
hyper energy related buildings, and some of these

buildings include data centers, refrigerated
warehouses, which would be cold storage, and
battery uses, such as electric vehicle battery
manufacturing, charging and storage.
So we have a petitioner who is
looking -- who has purchased land on Lincoln
Prairie property and they have an interested
party that's looking to do some of these land
uses, so they wanted us to be a little bit ahead
before those uses come to the city asking for
approval so that we can have some basis of
approval for them.
So staff is proposing to amend the
text of the Zoning Ordinance to define these
uses -- and I'll go a little bit into the
definition of them -- as permitted uses in the
M-1 and M-2 manufacturing districts, and then we
additionally are amending the table that
regulates the minimum number of off-street
parking spaces needed for these types of uses
based off of how the industry standard is or
number of employees, individuals that go to these
sites.
So data centers, if you aren't

familiar, are mega sized structures and they
house network computer systems, servers for data
storage, process and distribution. Just the way
that I am coming to you through Zoom, somebody
has to process that data.
Refrigerated warehouses or cold
storage, these are commonly seen in manufacturing
districts, but they are primarily for storing
highly perishable items for short periods of
time, so anything from food, candles, film, art,
plants, cosmetics, anything that you probably
order off of Amazon or food service prepared
would have to have one of these locations nearby
that they would ship to and then ship out.
And battery storage uses, these are,
as I mentioned, the batteries that you would
typically find, lithium ion, which would be your
cell phones or your laptops, computer and medical
equipment or electric vehicles.
They are becoming constantly
increasingly common and so it would just make
sense that we would have a land use for it and so
that we could regulate it.
So data centers are proposed to be

defined as a facility comprised of networking
computers, storage systems and computing
infrastructure which organizes -- which
organizations rather use to assemble, process,
store and disseminate data.
This includes crypto currency
centers, which use network computers, storage
systems, and computing infrastructure to manage
the flow of digital or virtual currencies are
also included.
For refrigerated warehouse or cold
storage, the definition would be a facility which
is artificially or mechanically cooled in order
to maintain the integrity and quality of
perishable goods, and battery storage uses would
be a use that enables battery manufacturing,
charging, recycling, warehousing, storage and
related uses.
This may also include derived --
uses that derive energy from renewable sources
such as wind and solar power to be collected,
stored and then released for later use to an
electric grid, power plant or private user.

the minimum parking requirements to be 20 spaces
for battery storage uses and data centers over
70,000 square feet in building area, just based
upon the uniqueness of the operational features
and that these uses typically do not generate
highly staffed employee count on site, and then
the refrigerated storage will meet the minimum
parking standards for general industrial uses.
Staff did reach out to Bristol
Kendall Fire District just to see what their
input would be for these types of uses. BKFD did
recommend to us that we adopt the 2023 NFPA,
which is the National Fire Protection Agency, 855
code, and staff is in the process -- we ordered a
few copies, we are in the process of adopting
that if we move forward with this text amendment,
and it just regulates these types of
particularly battery storage uses, stationary and
mobile uses.
So if there is any questions for
staff, and I believe the representative from
Green Door, who purchased the property on Lincoln
Prairie is available on Zoom if there are any
questions.
