1. PZC 2024-19 Steve Weber, on behalf of PTS Corp. (contract lessee and petitioner)
and Fort Smith FD Partners, LLC (see full description in #1 above)
Community Development Director Krysti Barksdale-Noble gave a summary of the ordinances
applicable to this petition. She described the building and property being considered and said it is
currently vacant. The zoning is B-3 and B-2 on the west. The dispensary was reviewed by the
legal department and outside agencies to insure compliance and for the Special Use. Ms. Noble
noted that only one cannabis dispensary will be allowed in the city per ordinance. She also said
there is a required 500 feet separation from any school and that Parkview Christian Academy is
460 feet from property line to property line. A variance will be requested for the distance. She
said the petitioner has met the bulk regulations. Ms. Noble noted the drive-through window and
said the window and e-commerce are prohibited by city ordinance. Elevations and signage were
discussed and Ms. Noble said the petitioner has requested a variance for the number of wall-
mounted signs and hours of operation. Staff researched 10 other communities' cannabis laws
and found that most other towns allow 2 dispensaries and the distance from schools ranged from
220-970 feet. A distance map was prepared by staff to show the available sites which are very
limited in the city.
A community meeting to present information on the dispensary was held by the petitioner for
nearby property owners, however, no public members attended. A written objection from the
Parkview Academy attorney was received and Ms. Noble said a letter in support of the dispensary
was received from an area business.
Additional information related to the Special Use was requested by staff including owners/those
having financial interest, lease or contract, business plan, waste management plan and security
plan. If the Special Use and variances are approved, staff is recommending signage be posted
inside the business stating no consumption on premises and also the minimum requirement of
Page 3 of 5
landscaping be installed by the sign. Ms. Noble reviewed the standards for Special Use and the
petitioner's responses.
The Commission then discussed the Special Use request. Chairman Vinyard said he disagreed
with the location of the proposed dispensary. Mr. Forristall questioned the need for the security
and if it is required by the state. Ms. Noble noted the business is a cash-only operation and Jake
Coward, Assistant Director of Operations of Illinois said the security and video cameras are
required by state statute and because of the cash operation. Ms. Linnane also said she does not
like the location due to the many family-oriented uses nearby, though she is not opposed to the
dispensary. She also did not favor the name “Consume Cannabis”. Mr. Hyett commented that
the location is bad and noted the hotel behind the proposed site.
Ms. Noble recapped the 3 variances being requested and she reviewed the standards and
responses for them. There was no further discussion.

Commissioners Williams and Linnane, respectively, moved to approve the Special Use. Mr.
Williams read the motion as follows: In consideration of testimony presented during a Public

MR. WEBER: Good evening, everybody. My
name is Steve Weber. I am the petitioner for
this current request for tonight.
Just a little background. So I am a
resident in the western suburbs, I currently
reside in Kane County, in St. Charles, and I just
thought I would let you know the reason I got
into cannabis is about ten years ago, me being a
military veteran, I saw how much help that the

We are compliant with compliance.
We respect that cannabis advertising should not
directly or indirectly propose that any laws
pertinent to the sale and consumption of cannabis
should not be complied with.
Advertising should adhere to general
and industry standard advertising best practices.
Abuse or inappropriate consumption of cannabis
should not be encouraged directly or indirectly.
Advertising themes, concepts and
visuals should not depict any imagery that may
target an underage person or intend to encourage
an underage person to consume cannabis.
We, along with our licensed security
company, Silver Star Protection Group, have
shared our security plan with Police Chief James
Jensen as well as his command staff.
We have a very robust security plan

compliance and adherence to the Illinois Cannabis

As an organization that has done
millions of customer transactions, we pride
ourselves as being a market leader at compliance,
followed by our relentless pursuit of customer
service.
These are some of the different
advertisements as well as compliance rules in the
states that we currently operate in.
This just shows some of our

mentioned, we are in four different states right
now, Arizona, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio.
Why is consume different than other

national retail cannabis brand with the purpose
of providing a better cannabis experience to
medical and recreational purchasers.

and consumption methods.
Our onboarding and training
processes go beyond a training manual. We offer
an online platform, consume University, that
provides mini tutorials and interactive lessons.
Our goal is for every consumer to have a better
understanding of cannabis and the effects that it
will have on their body.
I just want to give you a snapshot
of currently what's going on in Illinois. So
when you originally passed your ordinance, there
was 55 medicinal-only stores that were allowed in
the state.
Fast forward four years now, there
is currently 2 28 active dispensaries in Illinois,
16 that are under construction or approved.
There is -- per Illinois law, 3 55
stores are allowed to open up in the state, so
that leaves 111 remaining to be approved and/or
open.
Stores that are currently close to
Yorkville, there is two stores currently
operating in Oswego, two in Plainfield that are
coming soon, there is one in Montgomery, and then

there is three in Aurora.
Once again, this is the snapshot of
where the consume locations are in the four
different states.
Consume Cannabis, benefits of having
a consume dispensary in Yorkville. Due to the
nature of the business and difficulty moving
licenses, consume provides a stable, long-term
tenant for -- or building owner for years to
come.
Consume dispensary locations will
fill an empty retail location. Where possible,
we will use locally based businesses for goods
and services or contracted needs.
Consume attracts new customers to
the area who will inherently spend money at local
businesses. We provide both salaried as well as
hourly positions along with benefits to our
employees.
Average employee count at a consume
is approximately, between full-time and
part-time, 20 to 25. Our average monthly
payrolls are around $75,000 a month plus.
New employees. Because of the

payroll, the new employees will spend locally,
adding to the economy, as well as offering new
options for employment other than fast food or
traditional retail jobs, while also paying at or
above most other comparable employers.
At one of our recent stores that we
opened up, we had over 250 applications for 20
spots. Any time we promote somebody and we need
to recruit new patient advisors, there is always
a lot of applications that come. There is lots
of people that want to be employed by -- they
want to be in the space. They want to be
employed by cannabis dispensaries, so it just
shows that, you know, there is people that are
very interested and passionate and want to be in
the cannabis space.
I note tonight one of the requests
that I had is for -- to slightly change the hours
that the ordinance has in place. The
justification for the request is I wanted to just
kind of show the hours that we are requesting.
At the top you can see Monday
through Saturday, 9 :00 to 9 :00, and then Sunday,
10:00 to 6 :00, which equates to 80 hours of being

open.
Our nearest competitor is Ivy Hall.
They are going to be open for 84 hours. They are
open from 9 :00 to 9 :00 Monday through Thursday;
Friday, Saturday, 9 :00 to 10:00 p .m .; and then
Sunday, nine to seven.
Market 9 6 , which is in Oswego, they
are open Monday through Sunday from 9 :00 to 9 :00
p .m ., 84 hours total open.
And then Cloud 9 , which is the most
recent one that opened up, they are open from
Sunday through Thursday, 8 :00 to 9 :00; and then
Friday and Saturday, 8 :00 to 10:00, for a total
of 93 hours. So those are the closest
competitors in their hours.
And then I made an additional slide
that just kind of shows some of the other
businesses in town, the liquor stores, in regards
to their hours, so I just wanted you to
understand where I was coming from in regards to
why I requested the hours be what they are.
Here is our management team.

that, I would like to just say thank you, and our

may have.

none, are there anyone present who wishes to

want to start out by saying thank you to
everyone. I know some of you who are here and I
appreciate all that you do for the community.
I am here on behalf of Parkview
Christian Academy. I serve as the board
president at the school, and I actually met with
Mr. Weber on July 13th over the summer and we
voiced our objection at that time to the location
of the cannabis facility, and so at that time I
think the same things that I am going to share
tonight are the same things that we shared in our
conversation.
We are not objecting to the business
being in Yorkville, we are objecting to its
location and the close proximity that it is to
the school.
So I live here in Yorkville, my wife
Melissa and I have four kids. Three out of four
attend Parkview Christian Academy, and so, too,
my middle schooler and my high s chooler who is
currently enrolled at the school would be right
there at that upper campus, and so we have moral
objections as a family, moral objections as a
school, and my request tonight for those of you

that are making this decision and taking this
decision up the chain to be voted on as it
relates to these variances, we respectfully ask
that these variances not be approved.
We feel like those standards are in
place for good reasons, and if they are approved,
I think my question would be who is looking out
for our kids, and so those standards are there
for the safety and the health and the well-being
of children and so to go against those standards
and against those variances, I 'd be personally
saddened as a resident because I feel like we
need to be looking out for our children, that's
the reason why those standards are in place, and
so for all of you that have an opportunity to be
a part of this decision, for our mayor,
ultimately for our aldermen, I ask you to look
out for the kids.
The other thing I think I 'd like to
bring up is, you know, not only looking out for
the kids, but I 'd ask the question if those
variances were to be approved, you know, what do
we value as a community.
I think that, again, Parkview

Christian Academy, it's not just a 501(c )(3 )
non-profit, it's made of up of families,
Yorkville residents, taxpayers like myself who
have come together to teach their kids, so we've
got an a mazing staff, it's an amazing
organization.
We are teaching biblical values, we
are teaching service, community service, and I
think that if these variances are approved, it
makes me ask that question as a resident what do
we really value.
There is more to being a successful
community than our tax revenues, and I feel like
to take really the decision that is being made
it's between PTS and Parkview Christian Academy
because of these variance requests, and so I
think that that's a good question to ask, what do
we value, so I just want to propose that to you
tonight.
And, again, I am speaking on behalf
of our school board, on behalf of our school
community, we respectfully ask that the variances
not be approved, and then, too, that we ask our
ourselves some of those questions I think are

and safety.
Under Illinois law, as you are all
aware, cannabis dispensaries must be at least
500 feet from schools, and I will cite several
sources throughout my material.
I am not going to list them all for
you because I think that's probably a waste of
your time, but I do have the materials here if
you would like to see them.
Resident studies and insights from
public health organizations suggest that this
distance may not be sufficient to shield young
people from the negative effects from cannabis
exposure and marketing.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention highlights that cannabis use among
teens can interfere with brain development,
affect academic performance and increase the risk
of mental health issues like anxiety and
depression, and based on your comments, I 'm sure
that that's not something that you want and I
appreciate your effort to educate the communities
that you reside in.

implications of cannabis dispensaries on our
communities, it becomes evident that the issues
extend beyond their proximity to schools .
Lax regulations, particularly in
terms of security and monitoring, which it sounds
like you make an effort to address, have raised
concerns about the relationship between these
establishments and local crime rates, as well as
homelessness.
Research from multiple sources
suggests that communities with high visibility of
cannabis dispensaries are seeing troubling
correlation with increased crime and
homelessness.
Many cannabis products are highly
potent, leading to cases where dependency or even
mental health crisis such as cannabis induced
psychosis are becoming more and more common.
In the case of Johnny Stacks' story,
it is a heartbreaking example of how this
dependency can spiral. Johnny's use of highly
concentrated THC products led him into a cycle of
addiction, ultimately resulting in severe mental
health struggles, and tragically his suicide.

We know that many of Consume
Cannabis' products are edibles geared towards
children in both their flavoring and high
concentrations of THC. Moreover, many of these
packages contain 100 milligrams of THC, a dosage
level that is described as follows: Even in
seasoned consumers, negative side effects like
paranoia and rapid heart rate can occur.
Coordination is almost always impaired at this
stage, end quote.
Current regulations allow a consumer
to purchase 500 milligrams of T H C per day.
While we cannot change Illinois law
or the current city regulations, we can at the
very least enforce the lax requirements for
cannabis dispensaries.
A 202 1 national survey on drug use
and health found that among the 5 2 million
Americans 12 years and older who used marijuana
in the past month, 16 million were addicted.
One-third of the users can't quit despite the
drug's negative effects on their lives.
In closing, and on a personal note,
I would ask is this who we are as a community?

The Yorkville I grew up in used to be a place of
nurturing, growth and care.
I watched my local church coordinate
with local business owners to build a gazebo in
Town Square Park. It was no small feat at the
time. I was there for the original duck race on
the Fox River.
I have watched businesses come and
businesses go, and I have watched community
members invest so much time into this community
because we believe in this community. We believe
in being here and in what's being done here. We
joined Parkview Christian Academy for that very
reason.
My family has not been the most
prominent or outspoken family in Yorkville, but
we have been the quiet servants of this
community, raising funds, bringing meals to those
in need, gathering supplies and raising our
family to leave things better than they found
them.
We work hard and pray even harder
for safe educational opportunities for our
children, something our local school district

unable to be present here tonight prior to making
our choice, what is the cost of our children's

MR. BLOMQUIST: Yes, sir. My name is Al
Blomquist, and my piece is relatively brief here.
Just as a grandfather of three teenage boys here
in Yorkville, I would strongly urge that just as
we would not sell cannabis to children, so should
we avoid the marketing or selling of cannabis in
a neighboring location to a school.
I have nothing against a marijuana
store per se as long as it is kept in a normal
zoning distance from the school. Thank you.

Next.
FRANCIS KLAAS,
having been first duly sworn, testified from the
podium as follows:
MR. KLAAS: My name is Francis Klaas. I
live at 205 East Kendall Drive in Countryside
Center Subdivision. I am here representing
myself, my wife and my family.
I am going to disagree just a little
bit with the president of Parkview Christian
Academy because I am speaking against this
petition, but not only for the reason that it's
in proximity to the school, but that it's in
Yorkville at all.
UNIDENTIFIED AUDIENCE MEMBER: Amen.
MR. KLAAS: I would encourage the board
to not approve the variances, and just as soon as
you can, increase the setbacks and every other
thing that is required of a dispensary and make
it so uninviting to Yorkville that none are ever
located here, and I say this, you know, for a
couple different reasons.
The proliferation of drugs and
alcohol in our country is not a good thing, and I

think it sets a terrible example for our young
people, and it desensitizes them to drugs and
alcohol. Even if they are not allowed to do it,
they are affected by this.
We want Yorkville to be a wholesome
community, and just because other communities are
building dispensaries, that doesn't make it
right. There are thousands of stores that sell
cigarettes; I wouldn't say that's virtuous.
So I think I would encourage you to
choose to say no and make this an uninviting
thing. Vote no on the variances and simply say
no.
Just because Montgomery or Oswego is
doing it, it doesn't mean it's a good thing for
Yorkville.
UNIDENTIFIED AUDIENCE MEMBER: That's
right.
MR. KLAAS: I love this town, and I just
don't think that sort of thing should be here.
Thank you.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Thank you, sir.
(Applause.)

MOLLY KREMPSKI,
having been first duly sworn, testified from the
podium as follows:
MS. KREMPSKI: My name is Molly
Krempski. I own properties in Yorkville. I have
a bunch of kids, but they don't go to Parkview, I
am just here speaking on behalf of myself and my
family.
I want to clear up a couple -- or
just one really misunderstanding about the
500-foot setback that keeps coming up in
conversations that I have been having and then I
will say what I came to say.
I feel like when the purposes for
specific ordinances are understood, there is a
tendency to have more respect for them.
So there is various types of
businesses that require setbacks from schools.
These setbacks are put in place to keep -- they
aren't put in place to keep the kids out of
businesses, we already have laws for that, but
these school setbacks are put in place to
mitigate the proven secondary effects that
various business types have on the community.

The Secondary Effects Doctrine was
established about 15 years ago. We had the
Supreme Court ruling Young v . American Mini
Theaters , and it allows for setbacks to be
established to keep spaces around residential
areas, schools, parks, churches, from
deteriorating.
In subsequent decisions the court
added that a city does not have to conduct its
own study to justify its reliance on the
secondary effects argument; instead, the city
could rely on studies conducted in other cities
previously.
This is why Yorkville is able to
legislate cannabis setbacks from schools, because
the activities that have occurred in other towns
prove the need for such legislation.
Thought, planning, research and
discussion went into these ordinances. As you
know from your time spent on this committee and
perhaps if you served on other committees, it's a
deliberate and rational process that is entered
into with the aim of creating spaces where
children can safely learn and grow.

I have always been in favor of
upholding ordinances put in place to protect
children, and I am still, after several years of
speaking before committees and the City Council
here in Yorkville, am in favor of upholding
ordinances put in place to protect children.
I realize that you guys might feel
some pressure to generate revenue for the city,
but I will ask, as many of these people have
asked tonight, what is the security of
Yorkville's children worth to the committee?
Because it's priceless to me.
I know it seems to make sense by the
reasoning of men that if we want to be prosperous
we need to facilitate the opening of as many
businesses as possible, but it doesn't always
work that way.
A city that prioritizes revenue over
the defense of the most defenseless among us will
never know true prosperity.

Constitution -- and, now, this is a document that
the aldermen have sworn an oath to uphold -- it

say something?
(A show of hands.)
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Okay. In defense of
the amount of people that want to say something,
I am getting the point that the location of this
is going to be the main issue.
Am I correct with that?
UNIDENTIFIED AUDIENCE MEMBERS: No. No.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: That's what I am
getting with every one of them?
UNIDENTIFIED AUDIENCE MEMBERS: No.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: All right. So those
of you who have something to say other than its
proximity to Parkview, I am going to take you
guys next.
We've got a pretty good grasp on the
location issue. If you have any other concerns
outside of its proximity to Parkview, please grab
the podium.

Christian Academy. I have lived in Yorkville
basically since I got married in the early 80's ,
my wife has lived in Yorkville since she was
born, so we are long-time residents of the
community.
Yes, the proximity is a major
concern, but you asked for additional things. In
your initial presentation you talked about the
fact that your company complies with all the
regulations, but the purpose of this meeting is
you are asking to change three things that are
currently regulations.
(Applause.)
DR. EPPERSON: More signage, more hours,
and closer to the school. Again, those
regulations are there for a reason. They weren't
just developed willy-nilly. A lot of time,
thought, effort, went into putting those
regulations in place.
So it's just a simple ask that they
are there for a reason, follow that reasoning of
why they are there in the first place.
You talked about the number of
dispensaries in the state. This isn't just a

question of proximity to Parkview, but I don't
know the answer, and maybe I 'd be surprised by
the answer, how many of those dispensaries across
the state are within 500 feet of a school?
(Applause.)
DR. EPPERSON: I don't know the answer
to that. It might be a lot. I know I have
driven in all the surrounding communities just
from shopping and living in the area and every
one I drive by that has a dispensary, there is
not a school in sight anywhere in the vicinity of
those places, so my ask is simply the regulations
are there for a reason.
The last thing I am going to say is
you talked about marketing. Businesses spend
millions in marketing. They market for a
specific reason.
The name of this dispensary is
consume Cannabis, so there is going to be signs
the kids in our community and the families of our
community are going to be driving by every single
day that say consume Cannabis. I don't think
that's good for Yorkville.

DAVE YOUNG,
having been first duly sworn, testified from the
podium as follows:
MR. YOUNG: My name is Dave Young, I am
a resident of Yorkville. I have children and my
wife live here. Our children do attend Parkview,
but that's not the -- the variance is not the
reason.
I can tell you real world. I work
next to a cannabis dispensary and I can tell you
the negative effects it has had on the area in
which I work.
I am a mechanic. We service a lot
of police cars as part of our service to the
community, and I can tell you that talking to
them after the dispensary went in, the crime rate
went up.
I can tell you the vagrancy that's
happened in our area. The little things,
catalytic converters missing, things like that.

Now, that may not directly be because of the
cannabis, but I can tell you the crime rate has
gone up.
It has directly affected the area in
which we work. I have been a mechanic for about
almost 30 years now and I can tell you that it
would be wonderful if cannabis was just used in
someone's home, but that's not the case. That's
not real world.
When I started in this business, it
was a rarity to see cannabis and cannabis
paraphernalia inside a car. Now that the law has
changed, it's probably one in every ten cars that
I work on, strong odors, paraphernalia, so I can
tell you that they are driving around using this
product.
There is absolutely nothing -- While
there are laws in place that keep these things
away from children, there is absolutely nothing
that stops someone who is legally able to go into
this dispensary, get the product and then sell it
to children.
Many of the products that they sell
are designed for children, edibles and things

like that, that look like candy. There is
nothing that stops them from doing that.
So I am very much opposed to this
not only for the variance, but in Yorkville. It
is not the message we want to send our children
and it is certainly not the message that we want
to send the community, that we want drugs in our
community.
Thank you very much for your time.
Have a good day.

MARK VAN DENEND,
having been first duly sworn, testified from the

MR. VAN DENEND: Good evening. My name

resident only for the last three years. We
recently moved back to Illinois after a long, sad
time in California.
I am speaking to you today because I
have kids that attend a number of schools in
Yorkville, including Parkview Christian Academy.

area, I have players on my team from Plano,
Yorkville, Oswego, Minooka, Montgomery, Aurora,
you name it, and so I am working with young
teenage men on a daily basis.
My wife and I are also licensed
foster parents. We did foster care for four or
five years out in California before we moved here
where we also got licensed, and I am just telling
you about all of those things because in all of
those different situations I have seen the
effects of marijuana use in the lives of
individuals.
So my main objection to this request
for a variance is not so much the proximity to
the school, but it's the fact that there is a
recreational sale of marijuana for any purpose.
I have never seen anything good from that.
Additionally, I forgot to mention I
am also an architect, and when I was an architect
in California, my firm did take on a number of
dispensaries and also manufacturing facilities
that dealt with marijuana processes, and while
they often do have pretty incredible security, I
have seen some of the drawings, and while there

are significant regulations, just like some of
the -- like Dave shared a second ago, I have also
seen crime increase in the areas around those
facilities almost a hundred percent of the time.
What's shocking to me as well is
that even in California where we lived, we lived
in the far northern part of the state in the area
that's known as the Green Triangle, it is
well-known for how well marijuana can grow, even
there the proximity required was 1 ,000 feet to a
school or a daycare facility or something like
that, so just the fact that it's even smaller
here blows my mind.
In dealing with moms whose kids have
been taken away from them in f oster care,
oftentimes my wife and I have had the opportunity
to support those moms in some way, shape or form
while we were caring for their kids, and more
often than not those moms were using, and more
often than not, it was contributing to or
exacerbating underlying mental illness.
If anybody cares to look even a
little bit into regular marijuana use -- maybe
you can make an argument on the medicinal side,

but recreational marijuana use, you know, I
encourage you to go to Pub Med and just pore
through any of the studies out there. It most
definitely contributes to or exacerbates mental
illness, psychoses, schizophrenia.
Those are things we don't need in
our community. They are certainly not things we
need for the young people in our community.
And then also again to Dave's point
about driving while under the influence of
marijuana, I don't know -- I mean, maybe people
what to show their hands, how many times you have
been driving the car and you can smell the car
ahead of you.
(A show of hands.)
MR. VAN DENEND: That happens to me on
almost a daily basis now and I can't even believe
that. It's not safe. It's not safe.
So I appreciate the graphic that
showed Montgomery, Oswego, Plainfield, and what I
appreciated most about it was Yorkville was not
on it, and I ask you to keep it that way.

MR. KREMPSKI: Hi. I am Mike Krempski.
I live in Yorkville, I have some properties in
Yorkville proper, and I actually have some nieces
and nephews that go to Parkview. My children do
not.
But I would like to point out, and I
hope you guys realize this -- I am assuming you
do -- look at this room. Every commission and
committee meeting and board meeting I go to,
there is nobody there. The room is empty. It's
me listening to the aldermen or commissioners or
trustees, right? So you can see the community
has an absolute concern of what's going on here.
One of the things that was brought
up was about security and communication with
their local police. Well, that's going to put a
burden on our police department for our
community, right?
So while they may be engaging in
that, they are taking away from something else in
the community or we are having to hire more
staff, police, to be able to regulate what's

going on in the community, so I think there is
real concerns.
The secondary effects , if anybody
takes any time to look into it, they are real.
That's why this whole thing started with the
Secondary Effects Doctrine, that these are real
things that happen in communities, and it's
proven over and over again, and the Supreme Court
has ruled in favor of communities, towns,
villages, to regulate certain businesses based on
those effects.
So we just ask that you consider
that in your decision tonight. We know it's only
something that gets pushed forward, but your
decision does have weight going forward.
Thank you.

other topics that haven't been discussed tonight,

MR. SENAGORE: Good evening. My name is
Tony Senagore. I am an attorney at the law firm
of Hodges, Loizzi, Eisenhammer, Rodick & Kohn,
counsel for the Parkview Christian Academy, and I
just wanted to make a couple points. These are
raised in my letter, but I just wanted to raise a
couple points that were raised in the two letters
sent to the City earlier.
First, the applicant has not shown
compliance with pertinent Illinois statutes on
advertising and signage located so close to
school grounds.
The Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act
prohibits placing an advertisement of cannabis or
a cannabis infused product in any form or through
any medium within 1 ,000 feet of the perimeter of
school grounds.
The consume Cannabis company is not
the name of a registered company according to my
search of the Illinois Secretary of State in
Illinois, it's a trade name, and if the variance
for the signage is granted in this case, the
applicant would be effectively placing signage
literally encouraging onlookers to consume

cannabis within 1 ,000 feet of a school.
Moreover, the applicant has not
demonstrated that they are -- how the applicant
would operate its business without any interior
signage or how the applicant can operate a
dispensary without any advertising. Therefore,
the applicant has not shown compliance with state
law.
In addition, the applicant has
failed to satisfy the requirements for a
variation. One of the requirements under the
ordinance is that the applicant must show a
particular hardship would result because of the
physical surroundings, shape or topographical
conditions of the subject property as
distinguished from a mere convenience if the
strict letter of the regulations were carried
out.
According to some of the case law
cited in the letter, a particular hardship does
not mean a self-imposed hardship or that a piece
of property is better adapted for the forbidden
use or that a variation would be for the owner's
profit.

Here the applicant knew or should
have known of the signage requirements before it
sought to occupy the subject property.
The 500-foot distance requirement
a pplies generally to all properties that are
located 500 feet from a school, and the applicant
has not and cannot show any physical
surroundings, shape or topographical conditions
require variation. Therefore, on that basis the
variation request -- request for variation should
be denied.
In addition, the applicant must
establish that the variation will not be
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to
other property or improvements in the
neighborhood in which the property is located.
There are several studies cited in
the letter showing the negative effects of
cannabis business, and the ten or so speakers
tonight and the additional people in the audience
are -- should receive credit from the Commission
as evidence that this would negatively impact
other properties in the neighborhood and the
public welfare.

And, finally, relatedly, the
requirement for a special use also involves the
consideration of -- that the change -- the
special use I should say serves the public
health, safety, morals, comfort and general
welfare.
Again, based on the information
presented in the letter and the sincerely held
views of the speakers tonight, the Commission can
credit that as evidence that allowing the special
use to allow a dispensary would not serve the
general welfare.
Finally, granting the variation here
would create a slippery slope that would justify
the use of other a dult-oriented uses in other
parts of the city that are not desired.
This is a generally applicable
requirement and the Commission should not be
revisiting a generally applicable requirement,
such as the 500-foot distance requirement from
schools, in the context of the variation.
For these reasons and the other
reasons expressed in our letter, the Academy
would ask that the variations and the special use

Thank you.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Thank you, sir.

MS. LINNEMANN: I have something I would

CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Yes, ma'am.
ANNELIESE LINNEMANN,
having been first duly sworn, testified from the
podium as follows:
MS. LINNEMANN: Hi. My name is
Anneliese Linnemann. I am 16 years old and I am
a junior at Parkview Christian Academy, in Upper
Campus.
One thing that I worry about is the
kind of company that this would bring to the area
around the school. We have already had a
situation happen at school with a suspicious man,
and thanks to students that said something, the
person was stopped. I am worried that with a
place like this so close to school, more things

like that could happen.
Another thing is natural human
curiosity. If I had never heard about this place
before, maybe I would want to see what it was
about, maybe I would become hooked on vape,
marijuana or something worse, and then my life
would rapidly down-spiral into something I
couldn't control, and I am worried that something
like that will happen to my classmates and
younger individuals at the school that wouldn't
know anything about it and the dangers of drugs.
Third, 1 Corinthians 15:33 from the
Bible says that bad company corrupts good morals.
What will happen to the area around the school if
this business is put into place?
What is Yorkville doing to make sure
that my classmates are safe, that my teachers are
safe, and I would personally like to know if
Yorkville has a plan for that, because I live in
Sugar Grove, just 15 minutes to Yorkville, and I
am already worried that maybe some seniors or
people that are able to buy drugs or alcohol will
become curious and then will get bad grades or
something bad might happen to them.

because there is maybe a little confusion on some
perspectives. I want to go through very quickly

First, particular hardship. This
property has been vacant for two, three years.
This is zoned correctly, we are permitted to
apply for a special use permit variance, go
through this entire process. We respect, you
know, the town listening to us and taking
everything we have submitted to heart and, again,
listening to the town.
There is no other similarly situated
property. I want to remind the town that the
church is a non-conforming use in this zone
without a variance, and to my knowledge the
church came in with a threat that they would be
able to work there, have a school there, under
the guise of suing the town if they didn't permit
them to operate. They also came in with another
letter threatening to sue.
We are data driven. We want to make
sure everyone is very well aware, there are
subjective opinions and then there are objective,
concrete facts.
One, we are not marketing anything.
A sign is a designation of our store, nothing
more than that. You cannot see into the store,

so anything in the store cannot be seen from
outside. No one under the age of 2 1 that is
outside the -- anyone outside the store cannot
see what's going on inside the store.
Security is incredibly tight. We
are compliant with all regulations. These three
are variances. These are ordinances within the
town, they are not state regulations. We have to
be compliant with all state regulations in order
to operate.
In every municipality that we have a
store in, we have enhanced security, we have a
great relationship with the police department,
and, in fact, in our facility in Show Low,
Arizona, a heavily Mormon community, we have
extended our hours because it's been that
spotless, and that's how we act as a company.
That's what we do.
Your town passed a law to permit one
dispensary, we are asking for your consideration
that we be granted this opportunity. We are at
most de minimus distance from the required
500-foot setback, and I 'm not going to formally
ask you to look into it, but I did raise in my

letter, by the black letter of your ordinance,
the measurement is from facility to property
line, which is over 500 feet, which you guys can
discuss on your own whether you want to look at
it differently, but that would put us out of even
needing a variance for that.
Slippery -- Is Mr. Senagore here?
Slippery slope argument, first year of law
school? It's not a valid argument. We can't go
on subjective Reefer Madness from the 1960's and
think this is the same thing.

We are not here in the 1960's in
Reefer Madness taking, you know, subjective
opinions on what a few individuals think is going
on.
There are 20,000 residents of
Yorkville. I am happy some showed up, that's
wonderful. That is a minority compared to the
total folks in this town that would have
otherwise shown up if there was that much
concern.

CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Yeah, comments have

The conditions upon which the
petition for a variation is based are unique to
this property. It is in the correct zoning
district. We cannot build anywhere else in the
town to similarly situate ourselves to conduct
our business.
If we cannot receive these variances
or approval to operate, yes, we would have a
significant hardship in not being able to conduct
business.
And no, based on many other
studies -- and some of the studies cited were
based on Portland, Oregon, which legalized every
drug, open use of needles, heroin, which they are
now trying to call back, that's not Yorkville.
Those studies on secondary
environment are looking at drastically different
environments, and that needs to be considered
when we're looking at how this could impact or
not impact your community.
And, again, the proposed variation
will not impair any adequate supply of light or
air to the adjacent property.

response to Mr. Senagore before. His last
letter, again, was filled with inaccuracies and,
you know, assumptions on what we do.
Consume Cannabis is a trade name.
We often mark with just Consume, that's just how
we do business, so I didn't really understand
that point.
But, again, we thank everyone for
your time and we -- again, sorry if you thought I
was being disrespectful, but we appreciate
everyone coming out to listen to us, and if you
have further questions, we are here to answer
them.

I am a contractor, and through the

of the things that Illinois mandates for

recreational use and the consumption areas,
private property, with owner's consent, so I
don't know if you are going to be buying that
building or you are going to be renting that
building.
The other thing is an approved
dispensary. An approved dispensary is an
approved consumption area. I don't know how your
HVAC works, but nail salons are required to have
above and beyond HVAC systems to expel all the
fumes and the gases that they generate. It goes
into the open air.
If we are -- if we mandate
1 ,000 feet for advertising, 500 feet from
schools, what do we do by smells and aromas that
make their way out of the business into the
surrounding area? If you can answer that
regarding HVAC.
But I did want to point out, was it
your opinion or was it fact to say that Parkview
had threatened Yorkville?
MR. KAY: It's my understanding.

understanding. Unless you have proof to back

that up, that's hearsay. I am not a lawyer
either, but to come up and discredit a school
that is a pillar of the community, that raises
young people to be pillars of the community, to
give back through organizational structure,
through community service, you name it, Parkview
is doing it to help the community, so to attack a
school like that --
MS. LAMB: Okay. Let's stay on topic,
please. Thank you.
MR. KRKLJUS: Yeah, that was a personal
thing that I didn't like. But as a contractor,
you mentioned HVAC. I would be curious to know
what the HVAC abilities are of your business to
filter what's going to be coming out of that
business, because if advertising can't be within
1 ,000 feet, what do we do about the smell?
That's a pretty strong advertisement if you ask
me. So I 'd like to point that out.

readdress it.

COLLEEN MURPHY,
having been first duly sworn, testified from the
podium as follows:
MS. MURPHY: My name is Colleen Murphy.
I own a business in Yorkville. I also am the
founder of a non-profit organization that teaches
children five and up how to identify predators
online and in person.
The first point I would like to make
is I think roughly six years ago I had to go
before the City because I have a microblade
license, which falls under the category of tattoo
establishment, and the City of Yorkville told me
at that time that they do not allow tattoo
establishments in their town, that that is their
discretion, and that they did not like what that
would bring to the community. I just wanted to
make that known.
And then also, this summer, with the
non-profit work that I do, I went to the Crimes
Against Children conference in Dallas and had the
opportunity to sit down with the DEA who informed
me -- and I am not sure of the exact numbers, but
I can get them for you -- they are currently

finding in our country that children who are in
states where cannabis is being sold are roughly
nine times more likely to purchase illegally,
where it's , quote, more affordable for them, and
those drugs are being laced with Fentanyl and
things much more deadly than what cannabis is
being sold from the dispensary, and I think
that's something we really need to take into
consideration, especially when you consider that
it could be placed near a school.

to be clear, the first letter said that you would
go through all avenues, including litigation.
This was not denied, so that was based on fact.
What you read from the regulation is
accurate language, but it's related to a
consumption lounge. We are not doing that.
There is no smoking allowed on premises.
So we have a normal -- well, we have
a high-end air filtration system in general for
all our facilities, but there is no smoking or
any consumption of any sort of product on
property at any time. It's strictly prohibited.
MR. KRKLJUS: Are you prepared to
enforce people who do it in their car?
MR. KAY: Oh, yeah. No, we shepherd
them off, off the property. We have our director
of retail operations here as well if you have any
additional direct questions, he is happy to
answer them, but we -- you know, there are
absolutely times when we get, you know, a few
people that are unsavory and Mike and his team
make sure they are not on our property and they
are gone, but it's few and far between.

The 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago showcased Daniel
Burnham’s ideas for the “City Beautiful” movement,
and offered a blueprint for growth and vision of
what cities could be.
Make no little plans; they have no magic
to stir men’s blood and probably
themselves will not be realized. Make big
plans; aim high in hope and work.
Daniel Burnham
The Plan of Chicago, written by Burnham and Bennett in 1909,
was the first comprehensive metropolitan plan in the United
States.
The plan concentrated on physical improvements, such as new
parks, lakefront upgrades, new civic and cultural centers, and
transportation development.
The Burnham Plan remains highly influential to the philosophy
and process of planning cities.

project will feature twenty single-family residential lots for an active adult community, along with four
commercial outlots. The proposed zoning designations are R-2 Single-Family Traditional Residential
District for the residential lots and B-3 General Retail District for the commercial lots.
Additionally, the petitioner is seeking to reduce the rear yard setback from 40 feet to 20 feet, due to the
presence of a 16-inch City water main running parallel to the northern boundary of the parcel. They also
request a reduction in interior and corner side yard setbacks from 10 feet and 30 feet to 5 feet. The
approximately 8.29-acre site, currently vacant, is located within the Kendall Marketplace development,
north of Blackberry Shore Lane and between Northland Lane and Cannonball Trail.

Date: November 6, 2024
Subject: PZC 2024-21 Heartland Meadows West (Kendall Marketplace)
Proposed PUD Amendment and Preliminary & Final PUD Plan
2
PROPERTY BACKGROUND/ZONING:
The subject property is located within the existing Kendall Marketplace Planned Unit Development
(PUD) approved by the City in 2006. Per Article II of the Development Agreement (Ord. 2006-125) for
Kendall Marketplace, “[t]he development of the property shall be generally pursuant to the Conceptual
Plans attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit “B” as illustrated below:
The Kendall Marketplace PUD allowed for a mix of uses permitted within the B-3 General Business
District, R-2 Single-Family Traditional Residence District, and the R-3 Multi-Family Attached Residence
District. The following are the current immediate surrounding zoning and land uses to the subject
property:
COMMERCIAL PURCHASE & SALE AGREEMENT:
After several years of the subject property siting fallow, the City of Yorkville and Heartland Meadows,
LLC, entered into a “Commercial Purchase and Sales Agreement” on January 23, 2024 which established
specific conditions for the development of the parcel for residential and commercial uses. However, the
originally approved concept plan designates the land use for the subject parcel as “civic purposes”. While
Zoning Land Use
North R-2 Single-Family Residence District Cannonball Estates Subdivision

South Planned Unit Development (B-3) Kendall Marketplace (Home Depot)
West Planned Unit Development (R-3)
Kendall Marketplace (Baseball Field)
Kendall Market Place (Townes of
Kendall Marketplace)

the existing Kendall Marketplace development has underlying zoning that permits the proposed single-
family dwellings and allows for various commercial uses—such as retail, services, entertainment, dining,
medical, and vehicle-related activities—the proposed residential and commercial uses for this parcel
requires an amendment to the approved Planned Unit Development (PUD).
The agreement allows a Feasibility Period and Platting/Entitlement Period, with the deadline for petition
submission set for July 23, 2024, and entitlements required by January 23, 2025.
The purchaser is also tasked with establishing a business owner’s association in conjunction with final
plat approval to oversee cross-access easements and maintenance for the commercial parking lots in
proportion to their area. Additionally, commercial parcels must align with the B-3 Zoning District
standards or less intense B-1 or B-2 classifications.
Further, the agreement permits the purchaser to secure water and sanitary sewer connection fees at rates
effective as of December 1, 2023, for five years following City Council’s final plat approval. Residential
water connection fees are set at $5,554, while sanitary sewer connection rates are $2,000, with
commercial rates varying by meter size and number of drain units. Covenants will apply to the residential
lots, limiting them to a 55+ active adult community, with lot dimensions conforming to the minimum
standards previously used in the Heartland Meadows subdivision. Finally, signage installation is
permitted post-Feasibility Period, provided it complies with Unified Development Ordinance (UDO)
standards.
AMENDMENTS TO APPROVED PUD:
As mentioned, the change in approved land use from civic to residential and commercial requires an
amendment to the existing Kendall Marketplace PUD. Section 10-8-8G of City’s Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO) establishes criteria for major and minor planned unit development amendments. Based
upon the increase in residential land use/density, a modification in the proportion of housing types, and
the alt, the request is deemed a major amendment.
The breakdown of change in approved land uses within the Kendall Marketplace PUD is provided in the
table below:
PROPOSED PRELIMINARY & FINAL PUD PLAN:
As proposed, the concept for Heartland Meadows West Subdivision includes 20 single-family residential
lots, specifically designed as an active adult community. These lots are positioned within the designated
residential zoning area, aligning with the project’s goal of creating a neighborhood for active adults. Four
commercial outlots are planned, with zoning aimed at supporting various business activities. These lots
are situated to accommodate retail, service, and other business-oriented uses, contributing to a mixed-use
environment within the community.
The plan seeks amendments to the existing PUD agreement, proposing zoning designations of R-2 Single-
Family Traditional Residential District for the residential lots and B-3 General Retail District for the
commercial lots. Specific setback adjustments are requested due to site-specific constraints, such as a
nearby City water main.

The preliminary plan is considered an initial draft that outlines the petitioner's intended layout for a future
final plat of subdivision, including all proposed site improvements. Typically, preliminary plans are valid
for twelve (12) months. However, for Planned Unit Developments (PUDs), which are considered special
uses, the approved plans expire only after three (3) years from approval if no Building Permit is issued
and no portion of the property is final platted.
REQUESTED PUD DEVIATIONS:
Planned Unit Developments (PUD) are allowed to modify standards of the base district as long as the
requested modifications are specifically identified and demonstrates how each allowance is compatible
with surrounding development, is necessary for proper development of the site, and is aligned with at
least one (1) modification standard found in Section 10-8-8D of the UDO.
Accordingly, modification standard #7 “Age-Targeted Development” applies, as the proposed
development will include residential dwelling units, amenities, and design characteristics intended to
accommodate the lifestyles and needs of senior citizens.
Below is a summary of the design components of the Preliminary and Final PUD plans and the identified
proposed deviations from the base R-2 and B-2 district standards as part of the PUD and Preliminary
Plan:
1. R-2 Single-Family Bulk Regulations - Per the Table 10-3-9(A) Bulk and Dimensional Standards,
the following compares current R-2 Single-Family Traditional Residence District standards with
the proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the residential lots:
R-2 Zoning
Regulations
Approved Heartland
Meadows
Proposed Heartland
Meadows West
Min. Lot Area 12,000 sq. ft. 5,000 sq. ft 5,000 sq. ft1
Min. Lot Width 80 feet 50 feet 50 feet
Front Yard Setback 30 feet 25 feet 25 feet
Rear Yard Setback 40 feet 20 feet 20 feet
Side Yard Setback 10 feet 5 feet 5 feet
Corner Yard Setback 30 feet 10 feet 10 feet
Max. Lot Coverage 45% 22.5% (Entire Development)
Max. 65% (Individual Lots) TBD
Max. Dwelling Height 30 feet 1 story 1 story
The proposed PUD does not meet the minimum bulk regulations for lot area, lot width, and yard
setbacks required in the R-2 Zoning District. The petitioner is requesting that the bulk regulations
for the proposed Heartland Meadows West development align with the approved standards of
Heartland Meadows, as outlined in the Commercial Purchase and Sale Agreement. Although the
maximum lot coverage for the development is still undetermined, staff is confident it will remain
within the 65% limit per residential lot.
The petitioner seeking a relief from Section 10-3-9. Bulk and Dimensional Standards for the
R-2 Zoning District of the Unified Development Ordinance. Staff is supportive of this
request.
2. B-3 General Business Bulk Regulations - Per the Table 10-3-9(A) Bulk and Dimensional
Standards, the following compares current B-3 General Business District standards with the
proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the commercial lots:
1 Proposed minimum lot area is 5,851 sq. ft. Proposed maximum lot area is 9,220 sq. ft. Proposed average lot area is 7,241 sq. ft.

Rear Yard Setback 20 feet 20 feet
Side Yard Setback 20 feet TBD
Corner Yard Setback 30 feet 30 feet
Max. Lot Coverage 80% TBD
Max. Building Height 80 feet TBD
The proposed PUD does not meet the minimum front yard setback requirement of 50 ft.
(assuming Blackberry Shore Lane is the front yard) for the B-3 district and other regulations
related to interior side yard setbacks, maximum lot coverage and building height remain
undetermined at this preliminary level of design. Due to the placement of the parking lot in the
front of the commercial structures, staff believes the minimum building setback may exceed the
requested 18 feet front yard setback.
The petitioner seeking a relief from Section 10-3-9. Bulk and Dimensional Standards for the
B-3 Zoning District of the Unified Development Ordinance. Staff is supportive of this
request.
3. Parking Requirements - According to the Preliminary PUD Plan submitted, there are 132 total
parking spaces to be provided on the property to accommodate the proposed four (4) commercial
outlots. Per Table 10-5-1(H)(5) Minimum Parking Requirements of the Yorkville Unified
Development Ordinance, staff would classify the lots, for the purposes of off-site parking, as
commercial retail/service uses less than 8,000 sq. ft., which requires a minimum of 0.3 parking
spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of net floor area (NFA).
While there is no specific information provided as to the individual proposed buildings, certain
allowed reductions to the required parking may be available once final use type is determined.
Additionally, per Section 10-5-1K-1 of the Unified Development Ordinance, the developer must
install the infrastructure to accommodate a minimum of three (3) electric vehicle charging
stations is required.
4. Vehicular Cross Access - The proposed site design includes three (3) access points: two on
Blackberry Shore Lane serving the commercial lots and one on Northland Lane for the residential
area. The Blackberry Shore Lane access points lead to off-street parking for commercial use,
while the Northland Lane access leads to a future public roadway that ends in two cul-de-sacs for
residential access. Notably, the commercial access points on Blackberry Shore Lane align with
existing access points for Home Depot in the adjacent Kendall Marketplace development.
Additionally, there are two (2) rear access points on the commercial lots connecting to the
planned public roadway, designated for service vehicles such as garbage trucks, delivery vehicles,
and emergency services, without a direct link to the residential roadway.
In line with Section 10-5-1-F of the Unified Development Ordinance, which encourages cross-
access between adjacent properties, the development is required to promote shared parking and
ease vehicular flow between commercial and residential areas. The commercial lots meet shared
parking requirements, and as such, the developer will need to include cross-access easements
for these parcels in the Final Plat of Subdivision. This design aims to reduce street access
2 Proposed min. lot area is 31,725 sq. ft. Proposed max. lot area is 44,976 sq. ft. Proposed average lot area is 44,983 sq. ft.
7
points and facilitate movement between different uses, supporting connectivity and operational
efficiency within the site.
5. Pedestrian Circulation - Per Section 10-5-1-N Pedestrian Circulation Standards of the Unified
Development Ordinance required off-street parking areas to on-site pedestrian circulation systems
and connection to existing and future planned trails. The site has an existing 10’ wide multi-use
pedestrian/walking trail along Blackberry Shore Lane and sidewalk installed along the frontage of
Northland Lane.
6. Off-Street Loading - Per Section 10-5-1-Q of the Unified Development Ordinance, the number of
off-street shall be determined on a case-by-case basis, and in the instance of special uses, loading
berths adequate number and size to serve such use, as determined by the Zoning Administrators,
shall be provided.
The petitioner requests a minimum of one (1) off-street loading space per commercial
building on the subject property. Staff is supportive of this request.
7. Public Street Design - According to Section 10-7-5-A of the Unified Development Ordinance,
cul-de-sac lengths should not exceed 500 feet, measured from the entrance to the center of the
turn-around. The proposed primary cul-de-sac measures approximately 500 feet, as verified by
staff. The secondary cul-de-sac is shorter, measuring around 200 feet.
Islands with a minimum radius of 15 feet are required in the center of cul-de-sacs and should
feature mountable curbing to allow vehicle access. While vegetation may be planted, it should not
exceed four feet in height at maturity to maintain clear visibility across the cul-de-sac. Proposed
streets will be dedicated public roadways and street names will be provided as part of the final
plat submission for approval.
For the primary cul-de-sac, which has a radius of 60 feet, the petitioner is requesting a
deviation from the required center island. Staff is supportive of this request.
8. Lots - According to Section 10-7-2, all lots are required to front or abut a public street.
Residential lots 3-5 will have driveway access from Northland Lane. Given the proximity to the
public park and ball field located across from the proposed development, on-street parking
currently is not allowed on the west side of Northland Lane along the park. The City recommends
the no parking restricted be swapped to the east side of the street in front of the residential homes
with signage and stripping installed accordingly.
9. Landscaping - Section 10-5-3 establishes landscape standards for new developments. Transition
zone landscape will be required along interior side and rear property lines of all nonresidential,
mixed use, and multi-family development. It is not expected that the transition area will totally
screen such uses but rather will minimize land use conflicts and enhance aesthetics. The rear of
the double-frontage commercial lots shall provide a Type C Transition Yard along the
8
primary cul-de-sac between the commercial and residential land uses as described below:
Type A (3) Type B (3) Type C (3) Type D (3)
(a)Minimum Zone Width (1)8 feet 10 feet 15 feet 20 feet
(b)Minimum Fence/Wall Height (2)optional optional 6 feet 6 feet
(c)Understory Tree optional 3 4 5
(d)Canopy/Evergreen Tree 4 3 4 5
(e)Shurbs/Native Grasses optional 15 25 35
(3) Landscaping elements can be arranged to match to natural topography or natural features of
the site and may be arranged in groupings to enhance site aesthetics as approved by the Zoning
Administrator.
(2) Fence or wall requirements may be satisfied by a solid evergreen hedge with a maximum
height of six (6) feet, as approved by the Zoning Administrator.
Table 10-5-3(F)(3) Transition Zone Types
Specification
Minimum Number of Landscape Elements per 100 Linear Feet
Notes:
(1) Required yard setbacks may be utilized for transition zone landscape.
Based on staff review, several landscape requirements apply to the residential lots. Per Section
10-7-3-B-4-c of the Unified Development Ordinance, at least one canopy tree is required for
every 40 linear feet of parkway. Additionally, Section 10-7-3-B-4-c-1 allows up to 25% of these
trees to be substituted on private property within the same subdivision, provided certain
conditions are met. These conditions include ensuring that the trees are located on private
property within the same subdivision, are in front yards, meet planting specifications, and
enhance neighborhood aesthetics, achieving the same visual impact as parkway plantings.
The developer must specify the percentage of parkway trees planned for private property within
the residential lots. Should this percentage exceed the 25% allowance, a deviation in the
Planned Unit Development (PUD) is required. Staff is supportive of the deviation.
10. Deed Restrictions & HOA – Per the Commercial Purchase & Sale Agreement, the development
shall be constructed and operated as an age-targeted community with occupancy of the
housing units restricted to at least one (1) principal resident who is 55 years of age or
greater which shall not be modified for a period of twenty-five (25) years from approval of
the Final Plat for the Planned Unit Development plan. Additionally, the developer will create a
homeowner’s association (HOA) for the maintenance of the private yards.
11. Appearance Standards - Per Article III of the Development Agreement (Ord. 2006-125) for
Kendall Marketplace, there are special provisions for design standards in addition to the City’s
Appearance Code, for Single-Family Detached Residential Units, they must incorporate:
• Masonry products on the front façade of 75% of the total units.
• A minimum of 75% of the front façade of each building shall have masonry products. A
10% reduction will be given for each major architectural feature on the front façade.
• A minimum of 50% of each building elevations shall incorporate premium siding
material.
• Primary structures shall be constructed upon either a basement or foundation – slab
construction shall not be used.
In addition, the Commercial Design Standards per the original Kendall Marketplace Development
Agreement are as follows:
• All guidelines” within the Appearance Code section for Non-residential building design
for unbuilt sites for commercial, office and institutional uses, per section 10-5-8 of the
Unified Development Ordinance.
9
• This requires masonry products or precast concrete shall be incorporated on at least fifty
(50) percent of the total building, as broken down as follows: The front facade shall itself
incorporate masonry products or precast concrete on at least fifty (50) percent of the
facade. Any other facade that abuts a street shall incorporate masonry products. The use
of masonry products or precast concrete is encouraged on the remaining facades.
• All commercial, office and institutional buildings shall consist of solid and durable
facade materials and be compatible with the character and scale of the surrounding area.
• Masonry products shall not be painted.
PERMIT FEES: Per “Exhibit D” and “ Exhibit E” of the Development Agreement (Ord. 2006-125) for
Kendall Marketplace includes residential and commercial permit fees (see attached). Based upon the
Commercial Purchase and Sale Agreement, staff recommends the following draft fee schedule shall
apply:
With regard to the School Transition Fees, the developer will provide written evidence to the City in
the form of an executed resolution from the Yorkville Community School District #115 that the
School Transition Fee shall be waived on all single-family residences within the proposed
development due to it being an age restricted community in conformity with the US Housing and Urban
Development standards.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The 2016 Comprehensive Plan Update designates this property as “Parks and Open Space” which is
defined typically for a broad range of recreational activity, trails, and green space. However, in some
instances, the Comprehensive Plan acknowledges, that open space designation may be reserved until
future market demand could support commercial development. Further, the Comprehensive Plan
encourages development that meets the needs of the aging population in Yorkville. Additionally, the
recently adopted “Elevating Aging-in-Community/Lifecycle Living in Yorkville – A Strategic Guide”
recommended the city pursue appropriate and affordable housing to support older residents staying in
Yorkville. Therefore, staff supports the proposed PUD and its consistency with the proposed underlining
residential and commercial land uses as they are consistent with the previously approved Kendall
Marketplace Planned Unit Development.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE FEEDBACK:
The feedback from the Economic Development Committee Meeting on November 6, 2024, emphasized
that the minimum front yard building setback for all residential lots must be 25 feet, requiring a revision
of the Preliminary Plat of Subdivision to meet this standard. Additionally, it was recommended that the
corner side yard building setback for residential Lot 2 along Northland Lane be increased beyond the
proposed 10 feet, and that the front yard setback for the commercial lots be increased beyond the
currently depicted 18 feet.
STANDARDS FOR PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT:
The Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend approval of a Planned Unit Development (PUD)
upon considering the following standards (Section 10-8-8-E of the Unified Development Ordinance):
1. Plan and Policy Alignment. The Planned Unit Development is consistent with the goals,
objectives, and policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan and other adopted plans and policy
documents of the City.
2. Integrated Design with Identifiable Centers and Edges. The Planned Unit Development shall
be laid out and developed as a unit in accordance with an integrated overall design, in which the
various land uses function as a cohesive whole and support one another. The design shall provide
identifiable centers, which form focus areas of activity in the development, and edges, which
define the outer borders of the development, through the harmonious grouping of buildings, uses,
facilities, public gathering spaces, and open space.
3. Public Welfare. The Planned Unit Development is designed, located, and proposed to be
operated and maintained so that it will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
property and will not substantially increase the danger of fire or otherwise endanger the public
health, safety, and welfare.
4. Compatibility with Adjacent Land Uses. The Planned Unit Development includes uses which
are generally compatible and consistent with the uses of adjacent parcels. If the uses are not
generally compatible, all adverse impacts have been mitigated through screening, landscaping,
public open space, and other buffering features that protect uses within the development and
surrounding properties.
5. Impact on Public Facilities and Resources. The Planned Unit Development is designed so that
adequate utilities, road access, stormwater management, and other necessary facilities will be
provided to serve it. The Planned Unit Development shall include such impact fees as may be
reasonably determined by the City Council. These required impact fees shall be calculated in
reasonable proportion to the impact of the Planned Unit Development on public facilities and
infrastructure.
11
6. Archaeological, Historical or Cultural Impact. The Planned Unit Development does not
substantially adversely impact an archaeological, historical, or cultural resource, included on the
local, state, or federal register, located on or off the parcel(s) proposed for development.
The petitioner will provide written responses to these standards which will be incorporated into the
record during the public hearing.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The City Engineer has reviewed the proposed Planned Unit Development Amendment and Preliminary
PUD Plan, with approval contingent on addressing comments prepared by EEI dated October 3, 2024.
The petitioner has submitted written responses to these standards, which will be included in the record for
the public hearing.
Additionally, the plans were also reviewed by the City's Building Code Official and the Fire Marshal
from the Bristol Kendall Fire District. They concluded that the proposed development meets all minimum
standards for dwelling separation under the 2018 International Code Council (ICC) Code cycle, as well as
other requirements outlined in the Building Planning section of the 2018 International Residential Code
(IRC) code. However, certain design elements, if included, may necessitate the use of fire-retardant
materials in the residential units and the installation of fire alarms and sprinklers for the commercial units,
which will be assessed upon submission of individual building permits.
PROPOSED MOTIONS:
1. Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment
In consideration of testimony presented during a Public Hearing on November 13, 2024 and
standards for Planned Unit Development Approval, the Planning and Zoning Commission

I have reviewed the application for Planned Unit Development (PUD) Agreement Amendment to
Ord. 2006-125, as amended, for Kendall Marketplace, as well as a Landscape Plan prepared by Tebrugge
Engineering, Preliminary Plat of Subdivision & Final PUD Plan for Heartland Meadows West prepared
by Tebrugge Engineering, received August 22, 2024 and September 12, 2024 as submitted by Daniel
Kramer on behalf of Marker Inc., petitioner.
The petitioner is seeking to amend the Kendall Marketplace Planned Unit Development (PUD)
Agreement and is requesting approval for both a preliminary subdivision plat and the final PUD plan. The
proposal is to develop Heartland Meadows West, a mixed-use project that includes twenty (20) single-
family residential lots for an active adult community and four (4) commercial outlots. The proposed
zoning designations are R-2 Single-Family Traditional Residential District for the residential area and B-3
General Retail District for the commercial area.
Additionally, the petitioner is requesting a reduction in rear yard setbacks from 40 feet to 20 feet
due to a 16-inch City water main running parallel to the northern parcel line. They are also asking for a
reduction in interior and corner side yard setbacks from 10 feet and 30 feet, respectively, to 5 feet. The
site, approximately 8.29 acres of vacant land, is located north of Blackberry Shore Lane, between
Northland Lane and Cannonball Trail, within the Kendall Marketplace development.
Based upon my review of the application documents and plans, I have compiled the following
comments:
GENERAL ZONING/PUD AMENDMENT COMMENTS:
1. ZONING – Per Ord. 2006-125, the Kendall Marketplace development, of which the
subject parcel is located within, has a PUD zoning classification to allow for uses
permitted within the B-3, R-2, and R-3 zoning districts. The following are the current
immediate surrounding zoning and land uses:
2. PERMITTED USES – Per Table 10-3-12 (B) of the Yorkville Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO), “single-family dwellings” are permitted land uses in the R-2 District. The
B-3 District allows for a variety of commercial uses such as retail, service, entertainment,
eating/drinking, medical, and vehicle related uses.

SITE PLAN/FINAL PLAN COMMENTS:
11. R-2 SINGLE-FAMILY TRADITIONAL RESIDENCE BULK REGULATIONS – Per
the Table 10-3-9(A) Bulk and Dimensional Standards, the following compares current R-2
Single-Family Traditional Residence District standards with the proposed Planned Unit
Development (PUD) for the residential lots:
6
R-2 Zoning Regulations Approved Heartland
Meadows
Proposed Heartland
Meadows West
Min. Lot Area 12,000 sq. ft. 5,000 sq. ft 5,000 sq. ft1
Min. Lot Width 80 feet 50 feet Undetermined
Front Yard Setback 30 feet 25 feet 25 feet
Rear Yard Setback 40 feet 20 feet 20 feet
Side Yard Setback 10 feet 5 feet 5 feet
Corner Yard Setback 30 feet 10 feet 10 feet
Max. Lot Coverage 45% 22.5% (Entire Development)
Max. 65% (Individual Lots) Undetermined
Max. Dwelling Height 30 feet 1 story 1 story
a. The proposed PUD does not meet the minimum lot area requirement of 12,000 sq. ft.
for the R-2 district. Is the petitioner seeking to add a request for deviation to this
standard in the PUD Agreement Amendment?
b. The proposed PUD does not meet the minimum lot width requirement of 80 ft. for
the R-2 district. Is the petitioner seeking to add a request for deviation to this
standard in the PUD Agreement Amendment? If so, please provide lot width,
measured at the building setback line, for Lots #7, #8, #9, #19 and #20, so that
staff may determine the minimum lot width deviation requested.
c. Does the petitioner believe the maximum 45% lot coverage for the R-2 District
can be met for this development or is a deviation requested for the PUD?
12. B-3 BULK REGULATIONS – Per the Table 10-3-9(A) Bulk and Dimensional Standards,
the following compares current B-3 General Business District standards with the proposed
Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the commercial lots:
B-3 Zoning Regulations Proposed Heartland
Meadows West
Min. Lot Area 10,000 sq. ft. ~31,700 sq. ft 2
Front Yard Setback 50 feet 18 feet
Rear Yard Setback 20 feet 20 feet
Side Yard Setback 20 feet Undetermined
Corner Yard Setback 30 feet 30 feet
Max. Lot Coverage 80% Undetermined
Max. Building Height 80 feet Undetermined
a. The proposed PUD does not meet the minimum front yard setback requirement of 50
ft. (assuming Blackberry Shore Lane is the front yard) for the B-3 district. Is the
petitioner seeking to add a request for deviation to this standard in the PUD
Agreement Amendment?
b. For the bulk requirements listed as undetermined, staff asks the petitioner to
verify they will or will not meet this standard.
1 Proposed minimum lot area is 5,851 sq. ft. Proposed maximum lot area is 9,220 sq. ft. Proposed average lot area is 7,241 sq. ft.
2 Proposed min. lot area is 31,725 sq. ft. Proposed max. lot area is 44,976 sq. ft. Proposed average lot area is 44,983 sq. ft.
7
13. ACCESS – As proposed, the site has three (3) points of access. Two (2) off of Blackberry
Shore Lane for the commercial lots and one (1) off of Northland Lane for the residential lots.
The access points off of Blackberry Shore Lane leads to off-street parking lots for the
commercial uses. The access off of Northland Lane leads to an unnamed future public
roadway ending into two (2) cul-de-sacs.
a. Connectivity – It appears the proposed two (2) access points along Blackberry Shore
Lane line up with the existing access points to Home Depot in the Kendall
Marketplace development to the south.
i. It is also noted that there are two (2) access points located at the rear of the
commercial lots that connect to the future public roadway. These access
points will be used by service vehicles (such as garbage trucks, delivery
vehicles, and emergency services). There is no direct through-access from
the commercial parking lots to the future public roadway serving the
residential parcels.
b. Cross Access/Shared Parking – According to Section 10-5-1-F of the Unified
Development Ordinance, developments are encouraged to provide cross access
between adjacent properties to reduce the number of access points on streets, promote
shared parking, and allow vehicular movement between different land uses. Since the
proposed commercial lots meet the criteria for shared parking, the developer is
required to include cross access easements for the commercial parcels in the
Final Plat of Subdivision.
14. PARKING - According to the Preliminary PUD Plan submitted, there are 132 total parking
spaces to be provided on the property to accommodate the proposed four (4) commercial
outlots as distributed by lot below:
LOT #
# of Parking Spaces
Provided
21 33
22 27
23 26
24 46
TOTAL 132
a. Per Table 10-5-1(H)(5) Minimum Parking Requirements of the Yorkville Unified
Development Ordinance, staff would classify the lots, for the purposes of off-site
parking, as commercial retail/service uses less than 8,000 sq. ft., which requires a
minimum of 0.3 parking spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of net floor area (NFA). While
there is no specific information provided as to the individual proposed buildings,
certain allowed reductions to the required parking may be available once final use
type is determined.
i. A typical parking stall dimension should be provided on Final Plan.
b. Additionally, per Section 10-5-1K-1 of the Unified Development Ordinance, the
developer must install the infrastructure to accommodate a minimum of three
(3) electric vehicle charging stations is required.
8
c. Off-Street Loading – Per Section 10-5-1-Q of the Unified Development Ordinance,
the number of off-street shall be determined on a case-by-case basis, and in the
instance of special uses (planned unit developments), loading berths adequate number
and size to serve such use, as determined by the Zoning Administrators, shall be
provided. What is the petitioner requesting as a minimum number of off-street
loading space for the commercial buildings on the site?
15. PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION – Per Section 10-5-1-N Pedestrian Circulation Standards
of the Unified Development Ordinance required off-street parking areas to on-site pedestrian
circulation systems and connection to existing and future planned trails. The site has an
existing 10’ wide multi-use pedestrian/walking trail along Blackberry Shore Lane and
sidewalk installed along the frontage of Northland Lane.
a. Is the petitioner proposing to install sidewalk along Cannonball Trail?
16. DOUBLE FRONTAGE LOTS – Section 10-7-2-D of the Unified Development Ordinance
states double frontage and reverse frontage lots shall be avoided, except where necessary to
overcome disadvantages of topography and orientation, and where a limited access highway,
railroad right-of-way, major street, or similar situation exists.
a. However, double frontage lots are permitted when adjoining a local or collector
road and providing Type C Transition Yard landscaping (see comments under
Landscape Plan).
17. STREET DESIGN – Per Section 10-7-5-A of the Unified Development Ordinance, cul-de-
sacs shall not exceed five hundred (500) feet in length, measured from the entrance to the
center of the turn-around.
a. The proposed primary cul-de-sac street length is approximately 500 feet, as measured
by staff. The petitioner must verify or request deviation from this requirement.
The secondary cul-de-sac street length is approximately 200 feet.
b. Islands in the center of cul-de-sacs with a minimum radius of fifteen (15) feet
shall be required. Islands shall use mountable curbing only that allows vehicular
access to the islands. Islands may be planted with vegetation, however, such
vegetation shall not exceed four (4) feet at maturity to allow for vision clearance
across the cul-de-sac’s diameter.
i. The radius of the primary cul-de-sac is 60’, the petitioner must
acknowledge if an island is proposed for the primary cul-de-sac or if a
deviation is requested.
c. Local Residential Street Design shall have a minimum right-of-way width of 66’
and provide the following elements on both sides of the street: sidewalk,
parkway, and on-street parking.
18. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – The 2016 Comprehensive Plan Update designates this
property as “Parks and Open Space” which is defined typically for a broad range of
recreational activity, trails, and green space. However, in some instances, the
Comprehensive Plan acknowledges, that open space designation may be reserved until
future market demand could support commercial development. Further, the
Comprehensive Plan encourages development that meets the needs of the aging
population in Yorkville. Additionally, the recently adopted “Elevating Aging-in-
Community/Lifecycle Living in Yorkville – A Strategic Guide” recommended the city
pursue appropriate and affordable housing to support older residents staying in Yorkville.
9
a. Therefore, staff supports the proposed PUD and its consistency with the
proposed underlining residential and commercial land uses as they are
consistent with the previously approved Kendall Marketplace Planned Unit
Development.
PRELIMINARY PLAT OF SUBDIVISION COMMENTS:
19. PRELIMINARY PLAN APPROVAL – Per Section 10-8-6. Subdivision Procedures of the
Unified Development Ordinance, approval of the Preliminary Plan is tentative only and shall
be effective for a period of twelve (12) months. However, Section 10-8-8-H of the Unified
Development Ordinance Expiration and Lapse of Approval states, any Planned Unit
Development in which there has been no Building Permit issued nor any portion of the
property platted after three (3) years since approval by the City Council, the Planned Unit
Development shall be considered null and void and shall be brought back before the Planning
and Zoning Commission and the City Council for consideration prior to any development on
the property. The underlining zoning of the Planned Unit Development shall not expire, only
the Planned Unit Development overlay shall expire.
a. Therefore, staff interprets the expiration of the Preliminary PUD Plan is three (3)
years after approval of the Planned Unit Development if no portion of the property is
final platted.
20. STREET NAME – Per Section 10-8-6-C-6-c-(10) of the Unified Development Ordinance,
the name of each road or street in the plat shall be printed thereon, which name shall not
duplicate the name of any other street, unless it is an extension thereof.
a. Is the petitioner proposing a name for the future dedicated cul-de-sacs?
LANDSCAPE PLAN COMMENTS:
21. LANDSCAPING – Section 10-5-3 establishes landscape standards for new developments.
a. Per staff’s review, the following sections of the Landscape Plan would apply to the
commercial lots:
i. Section 10-5-3-C. Building Foundation Landscape Zone – Defer to
engineer’s comments.
ii. Section 10-5-3-D. Parking Area Perimeter Landscape Zone – Defer to
engineer’s comments.
iii. Section 10-5-3-E. Parking Area Interior Landscape Zone – Defer to
engineer’s comments.
iv. Section 10-5-3-F. Transition Zone Landscape Requirements - Transition
zone landscape shall be required along interior side and rear property lines of
all nonresidential, mixed use, and multi-family development. It is not
expected that the transition area will totally screen such uses but rather will
minimize land use conflicts and enhance aesthetics.
1. The rear of the double-frontage commercial lots shall provide a
Type C Transition Yard along the primary cul-de-sac between
the commercial and residential land uses as described below:
10
Type A (3) Type B (3) Type C (3) Type D (3)
(a)Minimum Zone Width (1)8 feet 10 feet 15 feet 20 feet
(b)Minimum Fence/Wall Height (2)optional optional 6 feet 6 feet
(c)Understory Tree optional 3 4 5
(d)Canopy/Evergreen Tree 4 3 4 5
(e)Shurbs/Native Grasses optional 15 25 35
(3) Landscaping elements can be arranged to match to natural topography or natural features of
the site and may be arranged in groupings to enhance site aesthetics as approved by the Zoning
Administrator.
(2) Fence or wall requirements may be satisfied by a solid evergreen hedge with a maximum
height of six (6) feet, as approved by the Zoning Administrator.
Table 10-5-3(F)(3) Transition Zone Types
Specification
Minimum Number of Landscape Elements per 100 Linear Feet
Notes:
(1) Required yard setbacks may be utilized for transition zone landscape.
b. Per staff’s review, the following sections of the Landscape Plan would apply to the
residential lots:
i. According to Section 10-7-3-B-4-c of the Unified Development Ordinance, a
minimum of one (1) canopy tree shall be planted per every 40 linear feet of
parkway.
ii. Parkway Trees – Section 10-7-3-B-4-c-1 of the Unified Development
Ordinance allows for the substitution of up to 25 percent of the street
trees to be planted on private property within the subdivision as long as
the following is met:
1. The trees are located on the private property within the same
subdivision as the parkway trees they will be substituted for.
2. Trees located within front yard of lot
3. The trees provided on the private property are provided in addition to
any other landscape requirements.
4. The trees shall meet the planting specifications of Section 10-5-3-A
of the Unified Development Ordinance.
5. The trees shall enhance the visual quality of the neighborhood and
achieve the same visual effects as trees planted in parkways as
11
proposed by the developer and approved by the Zoning
Administrator.
iii. Developer shall provide the percentage of parkway trees proposed to be
planted on private property for the residential lots. If amount exceeds
25%, a deviation in the PUD is required.
22. SIGNAGE – The petitioner has not provided a signage plan for the Heartland Meadows
West development.
a. Are monument signs proposed on the commercial and residential lots?
i. If so, will they meet Chapter 6 – Sign Standards of the Unified
Development Ordinance or will a deviation be needed?
ii. Staff recommends a sign sample be presented for the commercial multi-
tenant monument signs.

SUMMARY:
Applications for annexation and rezoning were submitted by Drew Daniels on behalf of Daniels
Malinski Yorkville Family, LLP (DMYF), the petitioner/owner. DMYF, LLLP is seeking to annex four (4)
parcels, totaling approximately 270 acres, and rezone them from the R-1 Single-Family Suburban
Residence District to the M-2 General Manufacturing District for a future data center, contingent upon
approval of annexation by the City Council. The subject property, consisting of parcels #02-30-200-023,
#02-19-400-010, #02-19-400-009, and #02-19-300-019, is located just north of US 34 (Veterans Parkway),
west of Beecher Road and Kendall Marketplace, and approximately 850 feet east of Eldamain Road.
PROPERTY BACKGROUND:
The subject property, approximately 270 acres in total, is currently unincorporated and zoned A-1
Agriculture in Kendall County. It consists of four parcels: the largest, roughly 200 acres, is irregularly
shaped and adjacent to the Kendall Marketplace development; a 55-acre rectangular parcel is closest to
Eldamain Road; and two smaller parcels, approximately 13 acres, are located just north of US 34. The
property is currently used for farming, with a portion of Rob Roy Creek running through it. The two largest
parcels are also part of the Rob Roy Drainage District.
Memorandum
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Krysti Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director
CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator
Sara Mendez, Planner I
Date: November 5, 2024
Subject: PZC 2024-26 DMYF, LLLP (Daniels, Malinski Yorkville Family)
Rezoning from R-1 Residential to M-2 Manufacturing Upon Annexation
In 2007, a proposal for "Rob Roy Falls" was submitted to the City for this parcel, featuring a
Conceptual PUD Plan (provided below). The plan included a commercial component spanning
approximately 130 acres, a residential mixed-use area with senior living and multi-family housing on about
72 acres, and a "Rob Roy Club" component covering around 71 acres. However, the annexation and
development never materialized, and the land has remained undeveloped farmland for the past 18 years.
REZONING REQUEST:
According to Section 10-3-4 of the Yorkville Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), any territory
annexed into the city is automatically zoned as R-1 Single-Family Suburban Residential District. In this
case, the petitioner is requesting rezoning to the M-2 General Manufacturing District for the development
of a proposed data center. Data centers are defined as facilities containing networked computers, storage
systems, and computing infrastructure that organizations use to collect, process, store, and distribute data.
Per Section 10-3-6-F of the Yorkville UDO, the M-2 General Manufacturing District is designated
for manufacturing, industrial, and related uses that produce more significant off-site impacts compared to
those in the M-1 Limited Manufacturing District. The purpose of this district is to ensure compatibility
between industrial uses and nearby residential and commercial areas, while minimizing off-site impacts
like noise, traffic, and visual disturbances.
Table 10-3-12(B) of the Unified Development Ordinance specifies that data centers are permitted
land uses within the M-2 District. The UDO also outlines specific rezoning standards that will be reviewed
by all recommending bodies. The petitioner has provided responses addressing each of these standards in
the application.
To assess the potential impact of the proposed rezoning and future use of the property, staff has
created the following chart, which summarizes the current zoning and land uses of the surrounding area:
ANNEXATION AGREEMENT:
As previously mentioned, the applicant seeks annexation of four (4) unincorporated parcels, #02-
30-200-023, #02-19-400-010, #02-19-400-009, and #02-19-300-019, totaling approximately 270-acres for
the future purpose of constructing and operating a data center land use. Contiguity of the subject parcels
and Yorkville’s current corporate boundary is established immediately to the east via the Kendall
Marketplace commercial development and the recently annexed Kelaka parcel to the north. The
approximately 148-acre Kelaka parcel is currently unimproved but is also entitled for a future
industrial/data center.
With regard to the rezoning request, a draft annexation agreement has been drafted that should a
data center user not develop on the parcel, only the following M-2 General Manufacturing land uses will
be permitted on the subject property per Table 10-3-12(B) of the Unified Development Ordinance:
1. Automobile sales and services (enclosed) – defined as “An establishment engaged in
the sale of automobiles where all operations take place entirely within an enclosed
showroom in a primary building.”
2. Bakery (wholesale) - defined as “a bakery in which there is permitted the production
and/or wholesaling of baked goods, excluding retail bakery.”

component in which guests/customers may sample and purchase the product. Off-site
distribution of the alcoholic beverages shall be consistent with state law.”
6. Microbrewery/Microwinery – defined as “a combination retail, wholesale, and/or small-
scale artisan manufacturing business that brews, ferments, processes, packages,
distributes, and serves either beer or wine for sale on- or off-site. A microbrewery shall
produce no more than one-hundred fifty-five thousand (155,000) gallons of beer per
year for sale on the premises for either on-premises or off-premises consumption. These
facilities may include an ancillary tasting room and retail component in which
guests/customers may sample and purchase the product. Off-site distribution of the
beverages shall be consistent with state law.”

single building where individual self-contained units are leased or rented to the general
public for dead storage and where the individual storage units are accessed from the
interior of the building.”
11. Refrigerated Warehouse (Cold Storage)- defined as “a facility which is artificially or
mechanically cooled in order to maintain the integrity and quality of perishable goods.”
The above identified limited permitted land uses are proposed to be in effect for the term of the annexation
agreement, twenty (20) years. Additionally, a Plat of Annexation will be provided as an exhibit to the
annexation agreement. A public hearing for the proposed annexation and annexation agreement was held
on November 12, 2024 at the City Council meeting.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The 2016 Comprehensive Plan Update designates this property as “Suburban Neighborhoods (SN)”
which is designated primarily for single-family detached residential homes. However, the Comprehensive
Plan also states, “while the land use map should guide future land use and development and zoning
decisions, it is also meant to be adjusted and changed when circumstances warrant a change in planning
direction in a given area of the City.”
Due to the recent trend in rezoning and
development in the area, the Kelaka property annexation
and rezoning to M-2 and the Cyrus One data center
development approval to the north of the subject
property, staff supports the proposed M-2 General
Manufacturing District zoning for a future data center
campus development with conditions.
Upon approval of the annexation and rezoning,
the Comprehensive Plan will require an amendment to
reflect the new M-2 General Manufacturing zoning
district. The subject property’s future land use
designation will be revised from “Suburban
Neighborhoods (SN)” to “General Industrial (GI)”.
COMMUNITY MEETING:
Section 10-8-13-B-1-a of the Unified
Development Ordinance states that a community
meeting with area or neighborhood property owners,
explaining the proposed annexation, may be required.
This meeting, conducted by the petitioner at their own
expense and at a location of their choice, may be
recommended by the Plan Council before the Planning
and Zoning Commission public hearing.
Given the proximity of existing residential land
uses to the east (Kendall Marketplace), west (CMP Properties), and south of US 34 (Fox Hill), staff
recommended that the petitioner hold a community meeting to discuss the proposed future land use of the
property prior to the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission public hearings. The petitioner
has informed staff that they spoke with the adjacent property owner who lives at 1171 Blackberry Shore
Lane at the end of the cul-de-sac for single-family homes in Kendall Marketplace about the proposal on
October 29, 2024. They also reached out to the homeowner’s association contact for the Townes of Kendall
Marketplace townhomes, but at the time of this memo, had not made contact with them to discuss the
proposal. A verbal update will be provided at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The petitioner is requesting a straightforward annexation of the subject property into the City of
Yorkville without seeking any relief or variances from the M-2 General Manufacturing District zoning.
With the additional restrictions on permitted land uses, should the property not develop as a data center as
outlined in the proposed agreement, staff supports the annexation request. This aligns with the
Comprehensive Plan’s recommended strategy of closing unincorporated “gap” areas within Yorkville’s
corporate boundaries to manage growth and ensure high-quality future development.
REZONING STANDARDS:
Section 10-8-12 Map Amendments establishes criteria for findings of fact related to rezoning (map
amendment) requests. When the purpose and affect is to change the zoning of a property and amend the
City’s Zoning Map, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider each of the following facts before
rendering a decision on the request. The petitioner has provided answers to each of the criteria in the
application these standards which are included in the packet for your review and will be entered into the
public record as part of the public hearing process. The standards are:
1. The proposed Map Amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the purposes of the
UDO.
2. The proposed Map Amendment is consistent with the existing and planned uses and zoning of the
nearby properties.
3. The subject property is suitable for the purposes of the proposed district.
4. The proposed Map Amendment will not result in an individual parcel zoned in one zoning district
that is not shared by the adjacent parcels.
5. The proposed parcel(s) to be rezoned shall meet the minimum frontage and area requirements of
the requested rezoning district as specified in Section 10-3-9(A).
6. The community need for the proposed use.
7. The length of time the property has been vacant as zoned considered in the context of land
development in the area in the vicinity of the subject property.
Proposed Motion:
In consideration of testimony presented during a Public Hearing on November 13, 2024 and discussion
of the findings of fact, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval to the City Council
a request for rezoning from R-1 Single-Family Residential to M-2 General Manufacturing District for a
proposed future data center, contingent upon approval of annexation by the City Council, for a 270-acre
property generally located just north of US 34 (Veterans Parkway), west of Beecher Road and Kendall
Marketplace, and approximately 850 feet east of Eldamain Road, subject to {insert any additional
conditions of the Planning and Zoning Commission}…

I have reviewed the annexation and rezoning applications for the subject property located just
north of US 34 (Veterans Parkway), west of Beecher Road and Kendall Marketplace, and approximately
850 feet east of Eldamain Road. The applications were submitted by Drew Daniels on behalf of Daniels
Malinski Yorkville Family, LLP, the petitioner. The petitioner is seeking to annex four (4) parcels,
totaling approximately 270 acres, and rezone them from the R-1 Single-Family Suburban Residence
District, which would apply upon annexation, to the M-2 General Manufacturing District.
Based upon my review of the application documents and plans, I have compiled the following
comments:
GENERAL ZONING/LAND USE COMMENTS:
The subject property, approximately 270 acres in total, is currently unincorporated and zoned A-1
Agriculture in Kendall County. It consists of four parcels: the largest, roughly 200 acres, is irregularly
shaped and adjacent to the Kendall Marketplace development; a 55-acre rectangular parcel is closest to
Eldamain Road; and two smaller parcels, approximately 13 acres, are located just north of US 34. The
property is currently used for farming, with a portion of Rob Roy Creek running through it. The two
largest parcels are also part of the Rob Roy Drainage District.
1. ZONING – The subject property consists of four (4) parcels (#02-30-200-023, #02-19-400-
010, #02-19-400-009, and #02-19-300-019). The following are the current immediate
surrounding zoning and land uses:
a. Per Section 10-3-4 of the Yorkville Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), any
territory annexed to the city shall automatically be classified within the R-1 Single-
Family Suburban Residential District. Therefore, the petitioner is seeking rezoning
within the M-2 General Manufacturing District, however, a proposed future land use
was not provided on the rezoning application.

Date: October 8, 2024
Subject: PZC 2024-26 Daniels Malinski Yorkville Family, LLLP (DMYF)
Proposed Annexation and Rezoning Request
2
i. Will the petitioner confirm that the intended future land use for the
subject property is for a data center campus?
2. PERMITTED USES – Per Section 10-3-6-F of the Yorkville Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO), the M-2 general manufacturing district zoning designation is intended to
provide for the location of manufacturing, industrial, and related uses that have greater off-
site impacts than those in the M-1 limited manufacturing district. The district is intended to
ensure the compatibility of the manufacturing and industrial uses with surrounding residential
and commercial uses and to minimize off-site impacts such as noise, traffic, and visual
qualities.
a. Further, per Table 10-3-12 (B) Permitted and Special Uses of the Unified
Development Ordinance, under “Energy Industrial Uses” data centers are permitted
land uses.
3. M-2 BULK REGULATIONS – Per the Table 10-3-9(A) Bulk and Dimensional Standards,
the following are the current M-2 General Business District standards:
M-2 Zoning Regulations
Min. Lot Area N/A
Front Yard Setback 25 feet
Rear Yard Setback N/A
Side Yard Setback Min. 10% of lot width/Max. 20 feet
Corner Yard Setback Min. 10% of lot width/Max. 20 feet
Max. Lot Coverage 85%
Max. Building Height N/A
4. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – The 2016 Comprehensive Plan Update designates this
property as “Suburban Neighborhoods (SN)” which is designated primarily for single-family
detached residential homes. However, the Comprehensive Plan also states, “while the land
use map should guide future land use and development and zoning decisions, it is also meant
to be adjusted and changed when circumstances warrant a change in planning direction in a
given area of the City.”
a. Due to the recent trend in rezoning and development in the area, the Kelaka
property annexation and rezoning to M-2 and the Cyrus One data center
development approval to the north of the subject property, staff supports the
proposed M-2 General Manufacturing District zoning for a future data center
campus development with conditions.
b. Upon approval of the annexation and rezoning, the Comprehensive Plan will
require an amendment to reflect the new M-2 General Manufacturing zoning
district. The subject property’s future land use designation will be revised from
“Suburban Neighborhoods (SN)” to “General Industrial (GI)”.
3
ANNEXATION COMMENTS:
5. ANNEXATION AGREEMENT – Given the subject property's location along a major
arterial roadway (US 34) and its proximity to the Kendall Marketplace development, which
includes both commercial and residential land uses, staff recommends that the annexation
agreement include a condition to consider restricting future manufacturing uses under the M-
2 District if a data center campus is not developed on the site.
i. Should a data center user not develop on the parcel, staff would
recommend only the following M-2 General Manufacturing land uses be
permitted on the subject property per Table 10-3-12(B) of the Unified
Development Ordinance:
1. Automobile sales and services (enclosed) – defined as “An
establishment engaged in the sale of automobiles where all
operations take place entirely within an enclosed showroom in a
primary building.”
2. Bakery (wholesale) - defined as “a bakery in which there is
permitted the production and/or wholesaling of baked goods,
excluding retail bakery.”
3. Brewery/winery/distillery – defined as “an establishment

(winery), or manufacturing, by distillation, intoxicating spirits
on the premises (distillery) but not including on-premises
consumption by patrons.”
4. Building material sales – defined as “establishments or places of
business primarily engaged in retail or wholesale sale, from the
premises, of materials used in the construction of buildings or
other structures.”
5. Microdistillery – defined as “a small-scale artisan manufacturing
business that blends, ferments, processes, packages, distributes
and serves alcoholic spirits on and off the premises and produces
no more than fifteen thousand (15,000) gallons per calendar year
on-site. The microdistillery facility may include an ancillary
tasting room and retail component in which guests/customers
may sample and purchase the product. Off-site distribution of
the alcoholic beverages shall be consistent with state law.”
6. Microbrewery/Microwinery – defined as “a combination retail,
wholesale, and/or small-scale artisan manufacturing business
that brews, ferments, processes, packages, distributes, and serves
either beer or wine for sale on- or off-site. A microbrewery shall
produce no more than one-hundred fifty-five thousand (155,000)
gallons of beer per year for sale on the premises for either on-
premises or off-premises consumption. These facilities may
include an ancillary tasting room and retail component in which
guests/customers may sample and purchase the product. Off-site
distribution of the beverages shall be consistent with state law.”
7. Nursery/greenhouse – defined as “retail business whose principal
activity is the selling of plants and having outdoor storage,
growing and/or display of plants.”
4
8. Research laboratories – defined as “a building or group of
buildings in which are located facilities for scientific research,
investigation, testing or experimentation, but not facilities for the
manufacture or sale of products, except as incidental to the main
purpose of the laboratory.”

which is artificially or mechanically cooled in order to maintain
the integrity and quality of perishable goods.”
ii. The above identified limited permitted land uses shall be in effect for the
term of the annexation agreement, twenty (20) years.
6. PLAT OF ANNEXATION – A plat of annexation shall be an exhibit to the annexing
ordinance. The city engineer will prepare the exhibit.
7. COMMUNITY MEETING – Per Section 10-8-13-B-1-a of the Unified Development
Ordinance states a community meeting of area/neighborhood property owners explaining the
proposed Annexation conducted by the petitioner at their own expense and at a location of
their choosing may be required as a recommendation from the Plan Council prior to the
Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing date.
a. Due to the proximity of existing residential land uses immediately to the east
(Kendall Marketplace), west (CMP Properties) and south of US 34 (Fox Hill)
staff recommends the petitioner conduct a community meeting regarding the
proposed future land use of the subject property prior to the City Council and
Planning and Zoning Commission public hearings.

Subject:RE: Opposition to Proposed Rezoning of Land to Manufacturing
From: Lindsay Martinez <l
Date: Thu, Nov 7, 2024, 11:35 AM
Subject: Opposition to Proposed Rezoning of Land to Manufacturing
To: <Funkhouser.ward3@gmail.com>
Dear Chris Funkhouser,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concern and opposition regarding the proposal to
rezone
Case Number: PZC 2024‐26 DMYF, LLLP (Annexation and Rezone) to a manufacturing district. As a member of the
Yorkville community, I believe that this rezoning could have significant negative impacts on both the environment and
the quality of life for residents of Fox Hill. There are several key reasons why I believe this change should not move
forward. The Impact on Residential Areas. Allowing manufacturing operations in close proximity to residential
neighborhoods could lead to increased noise, air pollution, and light pollution, all of which would negatively affect the
health and well‐being of local residents. The current zoning supports a balance of residential and commercial spaces,
which provides a higher quality of life for families. Environmental Concerns: Manufacturing facilities often bring
environmental challenges, including waste disposal issues, runoff, and the potential for hazardous material spills. Our
community values green spaces, clean air, and sustainable development, and introducing manufacturing operations
could compromise these environmental goals. Traffic and Infrastructure Strain on Diehl Farm Road: Manufacturing
businesses typically bring increased truck traffic and demand on local infrastructure, which could overwhelm our current
roads and public services. This increase in traffic could also create safety hazards and contribute to congestion in the
area, which would be detrimental to both residents and visitors. We already have increased traffic from the Menards DC
plant. Rezoning to manufacturing may not align with Yorkville’s long‐term vision for sustainable growth.
That property should remain zoned for residential purposes in my opinion. In order for Kendall Marketplace to become
fully leased and continue to operate effectively, more people (who need homes) are needed, not a building that uses
too many resources.
Property Values will tank. There is concern that industrial development could negatively affect property values in
nearby residential areas. Families and homebuyers are likely to be deterred from settling in a neighborhood that is
adjacent to manufacturing zones, which could affect the overall economic stability of the area. I urge the United City of
Yorkville to consider these concerns and explore alternative options for development that would support the
community’s vision for growth while maintaining the integrity of our residential spaces. The residents of fox hill neighbor
have already lost all of the trees along the Rob Roy Creek. We are still waiting for trees to be replanted. That alone has
increased the road sounds from 34, Menards DC, trains etc. It is so noisy that we barely open our windows anymore. Our
kids would spend all summer at the rob roy creek, but after all of the trees were cut down and left‐ and just recently the
roots were removed. Our neighborhood enjoyed the creek for fishing‐ but no longer can do so with it being ruined. I
would appreciate the opportunity to engage in further dialogue on this matter and discuss potential solutions that
balance both economic development and quality of life for residents. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Lindsay Martinez

REQUEST SUMMARY:
The petitioner, Cesar Cruz on behalf of GR
Yorkville Residents, LLC, owner, is seeking
Final Plat approval for an approximately 22-
acre site consisting of 164 new residential
townhome lots and four (4) open space outlots
located north of the BNSF railroad and east of
Tuscany Trail in Yorkville. These lots will
complete Neighborhood 3 and this quadrant of
the Grande Reserve development (refer to map
on the right).
The proposed 164 units will represent a slight
decrease of one (1) unit in the originally
planned and approved PUD for this
neighborhood in the 2003 annexation
agreement. Additionally, the petitioner is
seeking approval of architectural design
standards for the townhome building facades
within the proposed final platted areas, as
mandated by both the original annexation
agreement and a subsequent 2021 economic
incentive agreement.
ZONING AND LAND USE:
The subject property was annexed in 2003 and
was zoned R-2 Single-Family Traditional
Residence District with a special use for a
Planned Unit Development (PUD). The

Date: November 5, 2024
Subject: PZC 2024-27 Grande Reserve – Units 18 & 25 (Final Plat)
Proposed Approval of 164 Townhomes in 2 New Units of Grande Reserve
2
Note, the approximately 100-acre parcel located within the Village of Oswego to the west of the subject
property is owned by Tuscany Station, LLC. This parcel was approved for a mixed-residential housing
complex consisting of 480-unit apartments and 164 single-family detached homes in 2023 and will be
developed by Abby Properties, an affiliate of the petitioner.1
PROPOSED FINAL PLAT OF SUBDIVISION:
The Preliminary/Final Plats for Units 18 and 25 were approved by the City Council in June and December
of 2006, respectively, but they were never recorded and have since expired. The proposed Final Plat of
Subdivision generally aligns with the originally approved plans but has slight differences in the number
and distribution of units compared to the Concept PUD Plan.
For Unit 18, which covers 8.861 acres, the proposal includes 68 units arranged in groups of four
townhomes, fronting the extension of Preston Drive. Unit 25, spanning 13.157 acres, proposes 96
townhomes, also grouped in fours, fronting Preston Drive as well as Collins Court and Whiteside Court
cul-de-sacs. Both units will feature common open space lots designated for public utility and drainage
easements.
According to Group Exhibit “D” of the Annexation Agreement (Ord. 2003-44), the “CITY, OWNERS
and DEVELOPER acknowledge that the number of dwelling units on future preliminary and final plats
may vary from the Concept Plan.” Additionally, it notes that “any plan for a phase of development that
does not exceed the total number of dwelling units allowed in the Neighborhoods shall be considered in
substantial conformance with the Concept Plan.”
Below is a comparison of the approved Concept Plan PUD dwelling unit count (Group Exhibit “C”) and
the proposed final plat unit count for each section in Neighborhood 3:

Per Exhibit “D7” of the Annexation Agreement, the overall approved maximum density for
Neighborhood 3 is 6 units/acre (245 units on 43.2 acres). With the proposed reduction of one (1) dwelling
unit in Neighborhood 3, the density remains unchanged.
The area breakdown of the proposed final platted areas are as follows:

ANNEXATION AGREEMENT
The original annexation agreement and the subsequent economic incentive agreement had provisions
which apply to specific units within Grande Reserve and conditions for final plat approval. Below are
applicable provisions to Units 18 and Unit 25 (Neighborhood 3).
Cul-de-Sacs
Per Ordinance the original annexation agreement, the homeowners’ association (HOA) for these units are
required to pay for and perform all snowplowing of cul-de-sacs, even though all roads within the units
will be public roads. The HOA does not have the snowplowing obligation for other public roadways
within the units. Unit 18 appears to have two (2) cul-de-sacs or “bump-outs” on Preston Drive. Staff has
deferred to the City Engineer and Public Works Director if these qualify as cul-de-sacs. While Unit 25
has two (2) traditional cul-de-sacs, Collins Court, and Whiteside Court.
Declarations of CCRs
Group Exhibit “D”, paragraph B of the Annexation Agreement requires that the developer submit a
copy of the proposed Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions and Easements to be reviewed by the
City. The declarations shall be recorded at the same time with the final plat for each phase. This
portion of Grande Reserve will be included, upon recordation, within the existing Grande Reserve
North Community Association, as amended and restated in a document recorded in 2020.
APPEARANCE STANDARDS
In the original Annexation Agreement (Ord. 2003-44), Architectural Design Standards for townhome
development were established, along with conceptual building elevations provided in Exhibit “D2”.
Owners and developers must provide standards regulating façade materials, accessory structures, and
other building restrictions for each neighborhood in Grande Reserve. The standards must meet or exceed
the City’s current appearance standards and also cover aspects such as color schemes, deck and patio
specifications, fence specifications, restrictions on accessory buildings, housing styles, minimum square
footage, building materials, and roof specifications. Areas not yet platted must submit architectural
standards at the time of final plat submission.
GR Yorkville Residents, LLC has submitted plan elevations prepared by Abby Properties, LLC for the
townhome model proposed in Units 18 and 25. The townhome building will feature architectural shingles,
shed and gable-style decorative dormers, vinyl siding, face brick, cementious based premium siding on
front elevations, covered porches and transom windows on the front doors. The two-story townhomes
have front-loaded garages with four (4) units per building, each with approximately 1,700 square feet per
unit.
According to Chapter 10-5-8 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), the City's Appearance
Standards mandate that at least 75% of the total buildings incorporate masonry products on their front
facades. Additionally, these facades must include a minimum of 50% premium siding material. Of this
premium siding requirement, at least 25% must be masonry products. Credit towards fulfilling the
premium siding requirement can be earned by using major architectural features, with each feature
providing a 10% credit. Premium siding materials encompass masonry products, cultured stone, natural
wood siding, and synthetic stucco. The provided data table below compares and calculates the elevations
to ensure compliance with these UDO Appearance Standards.
6
While the proposed elevations satisfy the minimum appearance standards set by the Unified
Development Ordinance, staff offered feedback on the initial architectural design and materials. Some of
these suggestions were incorporated into the current façade, such as the addition of more masonry on the
front elevation. Staff also recommended adding window shutters to enhance architectural interest.
However, the petitioner has expressed that their aesthetic vision for these townhome units is modern and
sleek.

Staff Comments:
The proposed Final Plat of Resubdivision has been reviewed by the City’s engineering consultant,
Engineering Enterprises Inc., for compliance with the Subdivision Control Ordinance’s Standards for
Specification. Comments dated October 9, 2024 was provided to the applicant (see attached). Based upon
the review of the proposed Final Plat of Subdivision of Grande Reserve Units 18 and 25, the City
Engineer has found the plats to be acceptable with regards to the current subdivision control regulations.
Proposed Motion:
In consideration of the proposed Final Plat of Subdivision of Grande Reserve Units 18 and 25, the
Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of the plats and architectural elevations to
the City Council as presented by the Petitioner in plans prepared by Manhard Consulting, Ltd. dated
last revised 09/18/24 and further subject to {insert any additional conditions of the Planning and
Zoning Commission}…

I have reviewed the application for Final Plat of Subdivision of Grande Reserve Units 18 and
25 (Neighborhood 3) received September 13, 2024 and revised September 18, 2024, as submitted by
Cesar Cruz on behalf of GR Yorkville Residents, LLC, owner/petitioner. The Final Plats were
prepared by Manhard Consulting, Ltd and dated last revised 09/18/24.
The petitioner is seeking Final Plat approval for an approximately 22-acre site consisting of
164 new residential townhome lots and four (4) open space outlots located north of the BNSF
railroad and east of Tuscany Trail in Yorkville. These lots will complete Neighborhood 3 and this
quadrant of the Grande Reserve development. Based upon my review of the application documents
and plans; I have compiled the following comments:

units allowed in said Neighborhoods shall be deemed to be in substantial conformance
with the Concept Plan.”

• Neighborhood 3 Density – Per Exhibit “D7” of the Annexation Agreement, the
overall approved maximum density for Neighborhood 3 is 6 units/acre (245 units on
43.2 acres). With the proposed reduction of one (1) dwelling unit in Neighborhood 3,
the density remains unchanged.
• Cul-de-sacs – Per Ordinance 2003-44, Paragraph 19C, the Homeowners Associations
(HOA) Neighborhood 3 is required to pay for and perform all snowplowing of cul-
de-sacs, even though all roads within the neighborhoods will be public roads. The
HOA does not have the snowplowing obligation for all other roadways within the
neighborhoods.
o Unit 18 appears to have two (2) cul-de-sacs or “bump-outs” on Preston Drive.
Staff defers to the City Engineer and Public Works Director if these
qualify as cul-de-sacs.
o Unit 25 has two (2) cul-de-sacs, Collins Court and Whiteside Court.
• Declarations of CCRs – Group Exhibit “D”, paragraph B of the Annexation
Agreement requires that the developer submit a copy of the proposed Declaration of
Covenants, Restrictions and Easements to be reviewed by the City. The declarations
shall be recorded at the same time with the final plat for each phase.
• Dormant Special Service Area (SSA) – Per paragraph 19D of the Annexation
Agreement, the City may elect to establish a dormant special service area to act as a
backup in the event the association fails to maintain the private common areas,
detention ponds, perimeter landscaping features, and entrance signage within the
development.
3. BUILDING SETBACKS/VARIANCE SCHEDULE – The following building setbacks
are for parcels located in Neighborhood 3, per “Exhibit E-1 Grande Reserve Variance
Schedule for Neighborhoods 2-19” of the Annexation Agreement:
BUILDING SETBACK
REQUIRED
MINIMUM PROPOSED SETBACK

Rear Building to Rear Building Min. 60’ TBD
Front Building to Side Building Min. 50’ TBD
Front Building to Front Building Min. 50’ TBD
Rear Building to Front Building Min. 100’ TBD
The proposed yard setbacks illustrated on the final plats meet the minimum
requirements established in the original annexation agreement. The building-to-
building separation requirements have been provided as reference for future layout of
structures on the lots.
4. APPEARANCE STANDARDS
• Per Exhibit “D5” in the original Annexation Agreement (Ord. 2003-44)
Architectural Design Standards are established for townhome development
and conceptual building elevations were provided in Exhibit “D2”. Further it
is stated that “all owners and developers agree to impose architectural design
standards relating to façade materials, accessory structures, and other building
restrictions at the time of final plat submittal for each unit.
o These standards will be submitted for city review and approval prior
to City Council approval of the final plat of subdivision, and must
address the following:
Color Schemes
Deck & Patio Specifications
Fence Specifications
Restrictions on Accessory Buildings
Restrictions on Housing Styles
Minimum Square Footage
Building Materials
Roof Specifications
o It is also stated in the Economic Incentive Agreement approved via
ord. 2021-13, that currently not platted areas must submit
architectural standards at time of final plat.
• Per the City’s Appearance Standards in Chapter 10-5-8 of the Unified
Development Ordinance (UDO) Masonry products shall be incorporated on
the front facade of at least seventy-five (75) percent of the total buildings and
shall incorporate a minimum of fifty (50) percent premium siding material on
the front facade. No less than half (twenty-five (25) percent of the total) of the
minimum "premium siding" requirements must incorporate masonry
products.
o Credit toward the remaining "premium siding" requirement can be
earned via the use of major architectural features. Each major
architectural feature used will earn a credit of ten (10) percent
towards the calculation of the minimum premium siding requirement.
o Premium siding material includes masonry products, culture stone,
natural wood siding and synthetic stucco.
• Petitioner has not submitted elevations for townhomes in Units 18 and 25.
Building elevations/color renderings of all proposed townhome
models must be provided and reviewed by staff before the request
can advance to the nest scheduled meeting.

REQUEST SUMMARY:
The petitioner, Cesar Cruz on behalf of GR
Yorkville Residents, LLC, owner, is seeking
Final Plat approval for an approximately 10-
acre site consisting of 60 new residential
duplex dwelling units on 30 lots located west
of the intersection of Crooker Drive and Brady
Street in Yorkville. These lots will complete
Neighborhood 2 and, along with Units 18 and
25, this portion north of Mill Road in the
Grande Reserve development (refer to map on
the right).
The proposed 60 units reflect a minor reduction
of four (4) units from the originally planned
and approved PUD for this location under the
2003 annexation agreement. Furthermore, the
petitioner is requesting approval of
architectural style guidelines for the duplex
building facades within the proposed final
platted sections, as stipulated by both the initial
annexation agreement and a 2021 economic
incentive agreement.
ZONING AND LAND USE:
The subject property was annexed in 2003 and
was zoned R-2 Single-Family Traditional
Residence District with a special use for a
Planned Unit Development (PUD). The
following are the current immediate
surrounding zoning and land uses:
Zoning Land Use
North R-2 Planned Unit Development (Grande Reserve) Residential
South R-2 Planned Unit Development (Grande Reserve) Residential
East R-2 Planned Unit Development (Grande Reserve) Residential
West R-1 and B-3 Planned Unit Development (Cross Evangelical Lutheran) Loving Arms Child Care
Memorandum
To: Planning & Zoning Commission
From: Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director
CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator
Sara Mendez, Planner I
Date: November 5, 2024
Subject: PZC 2024-28 Grande Reserve – Unit 21 (Final Plat)
Proposed Approval of 60 New Duplexes (30 Lots) in Grande Reserve
2
PROPOSED FINAL PLAT OF SUBDIVISION:
The Preliminary/Final Plats for Unit 21 were approved by the City Council in July 2006 but were never
recorded, and they have since expired. The proposed Final Plat of Subdivision generally aligns with the
originally approved plans, though it shows minor differences in the number of units compared to the
Concept PUD Plan.
Per Group Exhibit “D” of the Annexation Agreement (Ord. 2003-44), the "CITY, OWNERS, and
DEVELOPER acknowledge that the number of dwelling units on future preliminary and final plats may
vary from the Concept Plan." It further specifies that "any plan for a phase of development that does not
exceed the total number of dwelling units permitted in the Neighborhoods shall be considered in
substantial conformance with the Concept Plan."
Below is a comparison of the dwelling unit count in the approved Concept Plan PUD (Group Exhibit “C”)
and the proposed final plat unit count for each section within Neighborhood 2:
NEIGHBORHOOD 2
(UNIT) UNIT TYPE

DWELLING UNITS
CONCEPT PUD PLAN

DWELLING UNITS FINAL
PLAT
Unit 20 DU 62 62
Unit 21 DU 64 60
TOTAL 126 122
Per Exhibit “D7” of the Annexation Agreement, the overall approved maximum density for
Neighborhood 2 is 6 units/acre (126 units on 24.9 acres). With the proposed reduction of four (4)
dwelling units (2 lots) in Neighborhood 2, the density remains relatively unchanged.

The area breakdown of the proposed final platted areas are as follows:
Building Setbacks:
Proposed lot setbacks for front, side, and perimeter yards are consistent with the requirements established
for parcels located in Neighborhoods 2, per “Exhibit E-1 Grande Reserve Variance Schedule for
Neighborhoods 2-19” of the Annexation Agreement, as detailed below:
BULK REGULATIONS REQUIRED
MINIMUM PROPOSED
Minimum Lot Size 10,000 sq.ft. 10,080 sq. ft.
Minimum Lot Width 75 ft. 75 ft.
Front Yard 30 ft. 30 ft.
Side (Corner) Yard 30 ft. 30 ft.
Side (Interior) Yard 10 ft. 10 ft.
Rear Yard 30 ft. 30ft.
Note, the Typical Lot Detail is inconsistent with the actual lot dimensions, specifically with regard to lot
size (less than 10,000req.), front building setback (shows 20 ft.), and lot width is not provided. The
petitioner will revise prior to recordation of the Final Plat.
ANNEXATION AGREEMENT
The original annexation agreement and the subsequent economic incentive agreement had provisions
which apply to specific units within Grande Reserve and conditions for final plat approval. Below are
applicable provisions to Unit 21 (Neighborhood 2).
Declarations of CCRs
According to Group Exhibit “D,” paragraph B of the Annexation Agreement, the developer must
submit a copy of the proposed Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions, and Easements for the City’s
review. These declarations are to be recorded simultaneously with the final plat for each development
phase. Upon recordation, this section of Grande Reserve will become part of the existing master
association, the Grande Reserve North Community Association, as well as the Pioneer Place sub-
association, as updated and redefined in a document recorded in September 2020.
APPEARANCE STANDARDS
In the original Annexation Agreement (Ord. 2003-44), Architectural Design Standards for townhome
development were established, along with conceptual building elevations provided in Exhibit “D2”.
Owners and developers must provide standards regulating façade materials, accessory structures, and
other building restrictions for each neighborhood in Grande Reserve. The standards must meet or exceed
the City’s current appearance standards and also cover aspects such as color schemes, deck and patio
specifications, fence specifications, restrictions on accessory buildings, housing styles, minimum square
footage, building materials, and roof specifications. Areas not yet platted must submit architectural
standards at the time of final plat submission.
UNIT 21 - AREA SUMMARY
Land Type Acres Square Feet
Lots 7.866 342,625
Dedicated Right of Way (Public Streets) 2.137 93,094
TOTAL 10.003 Acres 435,719 SF

GR Yorkville Residents, LLC has submitted plan elevations prepared by Abby Properties, LLC for the
duplex models proposed in Unit 21. The duplexes will feature three (3) elevation options including
architectural shingles, shed and gable-style decorative dormers, face brick, covered porch, and cementious
based premium siding on front elevations. The one-story ranch duplex will have front-loaded garages and
a basement, ranging between 1,142 – 1,400 square feet per unit.
5
According to Chapter 10-5-8 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), the City's Appearance
Standards mandate that at least 75% of the total buildings incorporate masonry products on their front
facades. Additionally, these facades must include a minimum of 50% premium siding material. Of this
premium siding requirement, at least 25% must be masonry products. Credit towards fulfilling the
premium siding requirement can be earned by using major architectural features, with each feature
providing a 10% credit. Premium siding materials encompass masonry products, cultured stone, natural
wood siding, and synthetic stucco.
The provided data table below compares and calculates the elevations to ensure compliance with these
UDO Appearance Standards.
Below are examples of constructed duplex homes in the adjacent unit southeast of this portion of the
subdivision, Unit 20:
Duplex Elevation Plans (Unit 21)
Appearance Code Requirements Proposed Elevation
Masonry product 75% of total buildings 23 of 30 buildings will have min. 50% masonry on façade
(76%)
Premium Siding 50% on front façade –
excluding openings 43% - 50% Premium Siding Material
Masonry Siding 25% of premium
siding 50% - 57% Masonry Siding
Credit for major
architectural
feature
10% each 20% credit (dormers = yellow; covered porches = red)
*Meets Minimum 30% of premium siding requirement
6
Although the proposed elevations meet the minimum appearance standards of the Unified Development
Ordinance, staff recommends adding further architectural details to the front elevations. Staff
recommended enhancements include incorporating shutters on dormers and windows, as well as adding
bay or projecting windows to increase architectural interest.
Staff Comments:
The proposed Final Plat of Resubdivision has been reviewed by the City’s engineering consultant,
Engineering Enterprises Inc., for compliance with the Subdivision Control Ordinance’s Standards for
Specification. Comments dated October 9, 2024 was provided to the applicant (see attached). Based upon
the review of the proposed Final Plat of Subdivision of Grande Reserve Unit 21, the City Engineer has
found the plat to be acceptable with regards to the current subdivision control regulations.
Proposed Motion:
In consideration of the proposed Final Plat of Subdivision of Grande Reserve Unit 21, the Planning
and Zoning Commission recommends approval of the plat and architectural elevations to the City
Council as presented by the Petitioner in plans prepared by Manhard Consulting, Ltd. dated last
revised 02/07/24 and further subject to {insert any additional conditions of the Planning and Zoning
Commission}…

I have reviewed the application for Final Plat of Subdivision of Grande Reserve Unit 21
(Neighborhood 2) received September 13, 2024, as submitted by Cesar Cruz on behalf of GR
Yorkville Residents, LLC, owner/petitioner. The Final Plats were prepared by Manhard Consulting,
Ltd and dated 02/07/24.
The petitioner is seeking Final Plat approval for an approximately 10-acre site consisting of
60 new residential duplex dwelling units on 30 lots located west of the intersection of Crooker Drive
and Brady Street in Yorkville. These lots will complete Neighborhood 2 and, along with Units 18
and 25, this portion north of Mill Road in the Grande Reserve development. Based upon my review
of the application documents and plans; I have compiled the following comments:
GENERAL ZONING/ANNEXATION AGREEMENT COMMENTS:
1. ZONING - The subject property was annexed in 2003 and was zoned R-2 Single-Family
Traditional Residence District with a special use for a Planned Unit Development. The
following are the current immediate surrounding zoning and land uses:
Zoning Land Use
North R-2 Planned Unit Development (Grande Reserve) Residential
South R-2 Planned Unit Development (Grande Reserve) Residential
East R-2 Planned Unit Development (Grande Reserve) Residential
West R-1 and B-3 Planned Unit Development (Cross Evangelical
Lutheran) Loving Arms Child Care
2. ANNEXATION AGREEMENT – Per Group Exhibit “D” of the Annexation Agreement
(Ord. 2003-44) it is stated that the “CITY, OWNERS and DEVELOPER acknowledge
that the number of dwelling units to be approved on future preliminary and final plats
may be more than or less than that described in the Concept Plan…” Further it states,
“Any plan for a phase of development that does not exceed the total number of dwelling
units allowed in said Neighborhoods shall be deemed to be in substantial conformance
with the Concept Plan.”
Below is a comparison of the approved Concept Plan PUD dwelling unit count (Group
Exhibit “C”) and the proposed final plat dwelling unit count for each unit in
Neighborhood 3:

• Neighborhood 2 Density – Per Exhibit “D7” of the Annexation Agreement, the
overall approved maximum density for Neighborhood 2 is 6 units/acre (126 units on
24.9 acres). With the proposed reduction of four (4) dwelling units (2 lots) in
Neighborhood 2, the density remains relatively unchanged.
• Declarations of CCRs – Group Exhibit “D”, paragraph B of the Annexation
Agreement requires that the developer submit a copy of the proposed Declaration of
Covenants, Restrictions and Easements to be reviewed by the City. The declarations
shall be recorded at the same time with the final plat for each phase.
• Dormant Special Service Area (SSA) – Per paragraph 19D of the Annexation
Agreement, the City may elect to establish a dormant special service area to act as a
backup in the event the association fails to maintain the private common areas,
detention ponds, perimeter landscaping features, and entrance signage within the
development.
3. BUILDING SETBACKS/VARIANCE SCHEDULE – The following bulk regulations
are for parcels located in Neighborhood 2, per “Exhibit E-1 Grande Reserve Variance
Schedule for Neighborhoods 2-19” of the Annexation Agreement:
BULK REGULATIONS REQUIRED
MINIMUM PROPOSED
Minimum Lot Size 10,000 sq.ft. 10,080 sq. ft.
Minimum Lot Width 75 ft. TBD*
Front Yard 30 ft. 30 ft.
Side (Corner) Yard 30 ft. 30 ft.
Side (Interior) Yard 10 ft. 10 ft.
Rear Yard 30 ft. 30ft.
* Verify for Lots 42 & 49 measured at B.S.L.
The proposed yard setbacks illustrated on the final plats meet the minimum
requirements established in the original annexation agreement.
• Note, the Typical Lot Detail is inconsistent with the actual lot dimensions,
specifically with regard to lot size (less than 10,000req.), front building
setback (shows 20 ft.), and lot width is not provided.
4. APPEARANCE STANDARDS
• Per Exhibit “D5” in the original Annexation Agreement (Ord. 2003-44)
Architectural Design Standards are established for duplex development and
conceptual building elevations were provided in Exhibit “D2”. Further it is
stated that “all owners and developers agree to impose architectural design
standards relating to façade materials, accessory structures, and other building
restrictions at the time of final plat submittal for each unit.
o These standards will be submitted for city review and approval prior
to City Council approval of the final plat of subdivision, and must
address the following:
Color Schemes
Deck & Patio Specifications
Fence Specifications
Restrictions on Accessory Buildings
Restrictions on Housing Styles
Minimum Square Footage
Building Materials
Roof Specifications
o It is also stated in the Economic Incentive Agreement approved via
ord. 2021-13, that currently not platted areas must submit
architectural standards at time of final plat.
• Per the City’s Anti-Monotony Standards in Chapter 10-7-8 of the Unified
Development Ordinance (UDO) “no new single-family or duplex dwelling
units shall be similar in appearance to any other single-family or duplex
dwelling units within three (3) units on either side of the subject property or
on any of the five (5) units across the street from the subject property.”
Additionally, on cul-de-sac turnarounds, no single-family or duplex dwelling
shall be similar in appearance to another dwelling on the turnaround.
o Similarity Standards - Any two (2) dwelling units shall be
considered similar in appearance if they are identical or nearly
identical to one another in any three (3) or more of the following
characteristics:
1. Roof type (gable, hip, mansard, gambrel, flat, or combination)
2. Similar roof pitch at an angle of ten (10) degrees or less
3. Dimensions (height and/or length) of the front wall closest to
the front lot line that are within twenty (20) percent the same
as either the height or width shall constitute similarity
4. Shape of the front elevation silhouette
5. Relative location and size of windows on the front elevation
6. Relative location and dimensions of garage door(s), if
included on the front elevation; and
7. Type(s) of exterior building cladding materials on the front
elevation. The following differences in construction material
shall be deemed sufficient to render buildings containing such
changes and built on adjacent lots to be dissimilar.
i. Four (4) inch exposure horizontal siding
ii. Eight (8) inch exposure horizontal siding
iii. Brick facing
iv. Vertical siding
v. Stone facing; and
vi. Stucco/staccato board and trim.
vii. When materials are changed, the change must occur
throughout the front facade or elevation for a
minimum of one story in height.
viii. Color change shall be made by significant changes in
adjacent colors. The change must be one of color
rather than merely of the shade.
• Petitioner has not submitted elevations for duplexes in Unit 21. Building
elevations/color renderings of all proposed duplex models must be
provided and reviewed by staff before the request can advance to the
nest scheduled meeting.
FINAL PLAT OF SUBDIVISION COMMENTS:
1. PREVIOUSLY APPROVED PRELIMINARY PLANS – Preliminary/Final Plat for
Unit 21 was approved by the City Council in July 2006 but was never recorded and has
since expired.
2. SCALE – The graphic scale on Sheet 1 of 3 states 1 inch= 100 feet, but the scale in the
legend states 1”=250’.
