respectively, Land Use, ORI Office Research Industrial District, of the Elgin
Municipal Code, as it may be amended from time to time.
d. Dedication and Construction of Holmes Road. The applicant shall dedicate to
the City of Elgin at no cost the land required for the future extension of Holmes
Road as depicted upon the Conceptual Site Plan. The application shall submit
a plat of dedication for the future extension of Holmes Road with the first
application for development upon the Subject Property. No additional
consideration by the Planning & Zoning Commission is required regarding said
plat. The applicant shall at its cost construct Holmes Road to city specifications
upon the earlier of either (a) when the adjacent property to the west is developed
with the roadway extension by others to Big Timber Road, or (b) when
applicant’s final developable parcel of vacant land or final subdivided

Area,” this planned development permits more traditional retail and commercial
uses within 500 feet of Randall Road, and the design of such uses can take
advantage of AB Area Business District site design regulations which are
typically less than ORI Office Research Industrial District site design
regulations. Where a development plan may span said 500-foot demarcation,
the Development Administrator has the authority to determine whether AB or
ORI site design regulations will be applied to the development, depending upon
whether the character of the development is more retail/commercial or more
office, research, industrial, respectively.
SEPTEMBER 14, 2014 VOLUME LXXXI

h. Development Application. The development of land and structures shall be in
substantial conformance with the Development Application and supporting
documents submitted by John Regan on behalf of David Huang, date stamped
received on June 17, 2016, including those pages titled, “Statement of Purpose
and Intent,” “Compliance with Development Standards,” “Addendum – Land
Use Requested,” and the Conceptual Site Plan, Scheme 05, prepared by Ware
Malcomb for Lee & Associates, dated July 25, 2016. In the event of any conflict
between such Development Application and such supporting documents and
the terms of this ordinance or other applicable city ordinances, the terms of this
ordinance or other applicable city ordinances shall supersede and control.
i. Compliance with all other applicable codes and ordinances.
N. Tree Preservation on Conservation Area A and Conservation Area B. The trees,
vegetation and other natural features on Conservation Area A and Conservation
Area B as labeled Conceptual Site Plan shall be preserved and maintained. The
maintenance and use of Conservation Area A and Conservation Area B shall be in
accordance with the terms of this ordinance and in accordance with the
Conservation Easement to be recorded over such conservation areas in the form as
provided in Exhibit C attached hereto. Conservation Area B, containing
approximately 23,086 square feet or .530 acres more or less, is located along the
common boundary with the property currently developed with a Subaru dealership
and is located to provide a buffer between future development and the more
environmentally sensitive area of the dealership property. Within Conservation
Area B field observations found at least two large oaks. The owner/developer may
enter this area and, using best forestry practices and under the guidance and
direction of a certified arborist, remove invasive species, and otherwise thin out
underbrush. No species of trees from Group A or B as described within the city's
Tree Preservation Ordinance in Chapter 19.16 of the Elgin Municipal Code shall
be removed unless for acceptable circumstances, i.e., the tree is dead or diseased.
The owner of the subject property shall make his/her best effort to preserve the
significant hickory, standing alone approximately 150 feet from the edge of Randall
Road and outside of Conservation Area B. The area east of the Conservation Area
B may be maintained as lawn and/or developed. The owner/developer shall make
his/her best effort to incorporate such hickory into the proposed site plan for that
developable area. The above described approach is found to be an appropriate
response to the spirit and intent of the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance. In
addition, prior to any construction or development work on either the Northern
Developable Area or the Southern Developable Area, tree protection measures in
the form of a perimeter tree protection barrier around Conservation Area A and
Conservation Area B shall be installed to prevent any construction activity on the
Northern Developable Area or the Southern Developable Area from damaging any
trees within Conservation Area A or Conservation Area B.

the peak demand shift or 1 stall per 1,500 square feet of floor area, whichever is
greater. Where parking is provided at the 1 stall per 1,500 square foot of floor area
rate, the application for building permit must include a site plan which shows that
additional parking could be installed within a conforming location(s) on the site at
a rate of 1 stall per 1,000 square feet of floor area, and stormwater facilities shall
be designed and built as if these “banked” parking spaces were installed.

amendment to this PORI zoning district and without necessitating that all other
property owners authorize such an application.

administration and enforcement of the provisions of this ordinance may be appealed

respectively, Land Use, ORI Office Research Industrial District, of the Elgin
Municipal Code, as it may be amended from time to time.
d. Dedication and Construction of Holmes Road. The applicant shall dedicate to
the City of Elgin at no cost the land required for the future extension of Holmes
Road as depicted upon the Conceptual Site Plan. The application shall submit
a plat of dedication for the future extension of Holmes Road with the first
application for development upon the Subject Property. No additional
consideration by the Planning & Zoning Commission is required regarding said
plat. The applicant shall at its cost construct Holmes Road to city specifications
upon the earlier of either (a) when the adjacent property to the west is developed
with the roadway extension by others to Big Timber Road, or (b) when
applicant’s final developable parcel of vacant land or final subdivided
developable lot on the Subject Property is developed or sold. If Kane County
Department of Transportation grants direct access to Big Timber Road from the
Subject Property in the future, it does not eliminate this condition that Holmes
Road be constructed.
e. Tree Preservation in the Northern Developable Area and Southern Developable
Area. In consideration of the tree preservation in Conservation Area A and
Conservation Area B, the Northern Developable Area and the Southern
Developable Area shall be exempt from the provisions of Chapter 19.16 of the

the associated plans shall include and require the installation of a sidewalk
along Randall Road matching the design and profile of the existing sidewalk at
the Subaru dealership.
g. Development Administrator Discretion. Within the “Southern Developable
Area,” this planned development permits more traditional retail and commercial
uses within 500 feet of Randall Road, and the design of such uses can take
advantage of AB Area Business District site design regulations which are
typically less than ORI Office Research Industrial District site design
regulations. Where a development plan may span said 500-foot demarcation,
the Development Administrator has the authority to determine whether AB or
ORI site design regulations will be applied to the development, depending upon
whether the character of the development is more retail/commercial or more
office, research, industrial, respectively.
VOLUME LXXXI SEPTEMBER 14, 2016

h. Development Application. The development of land and structures shall be in
substantial conformance with the Development Application and supporting
documents submitted by John Regan on behalf of David Huang, date stamped
received on June 17, 2016, including those pages titled, “Statement of Purpose
and Intent,” “Compliance with Development Standards,” “Addendum – Land
Use Requested,” and the Conceptual Site Plan, Scheme 05, prepared by Ware
Malcomb for Lee & Associates, dated July 25, 2016. In the event of any conflict
between such Development Application and such supporting documents and
the terms of this ordinance or other applicable city ordinances, the terms of this
ordinance or other applicable city ordinances shall supersede and control.
i. Compliance with all other applicable codes and ordinances.
JJ. Tree Preservation on Conservation Area A and Conservation Area B. The trees,
vegetation and other natural features on Conservation Area A and Conservation
Area B as labeled Conceptual Site Plan shall be preserved and maintained. The
maintenance and use of Conservation Area A and Conservation Area B shall be in
accordance with the terms of this ordinance and in accordance with the
Conservation Easement to be recorded over such conservation areas in the form as
provided in Exhibit C attached hereto. Conservation Area B, containing
approximately 23,086 square feet or .530 acres more or less, is located along the
common boundary with the property currently developed with a Subaru dealership
and is located to provide a buffer between future development and the more
environmentally sensitive area of the dealership property. Within Conservation
Area B field observations found at least two large oaks. The owner/developer may
enter this area and, using best forestry practices and under the guidance and
direction of a certified arborist, remove invasive species, and otherwise thin out
underbrush. No species of trees from Group A or B as described within the city's
Tree Preservation Ordinance in Chapter 19.16 of the Elgin Municipal Code shall
be removed unless for acceptable circumstances, i.e., the tree is dead or diseased.
The owner of the subject property shall make his/her best effort to preserve the
significant hickory, standing alone approximately 150 feet from the edge of Randall
Road and outside of Conservation Area B. The area east of the Conservation Area
B may be maintained as lawn and/or developed. The owner/developer shall make
his/her best effort to incorporate such hickory into the proposed site plan for that
developable area. The above described approach is found to be an appropriate
response to the spirit and intent of the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance. In
addition, prior to any construction or development work on either the Northern
Developable Area or the Southern Developable Area, tree protection measures in
the form of a perimeter tree protection barrier around Conservation Area A and
Conservation Area B shall be installed to prevent any construction activity on the
Northern Developable Area or the Southern Developable Area from damaging any
trees within Conservation Area A or Conservation Area B.

storage land uses shall be provided at the rate of 1 stall per 1.5 employees based on
the peak demand shift or 1 stall per 1,500 square feet of floor area, whichever is
greater. Where parking is provided at the 1 stall per 1,500 square foot of floor area
rate, the application for building permit must include a site plan which shows that
additional parking could be installed within a conforming location(s) on the site at
a rate of 1 stall per 1,000 square feet of floor area, and stormwater facilities shall
be designed and built as if these “banked” parking spaces were installed.

property owners authorize such an application.
PP. Variations. In this PORI Planned Office Research Industrial District, application
for variation shall be subject to the provisions of Chapter 19.70, Variations, of the
Elgin Municipal Code, as amended. A variation may be requested by an individual
property owner for a zoning lot without requiring an amendment to this PORI
zoning district and without necessitating that all other property owners authorize
such an application.
QQ. Appeals. Any requirement, determination, or interpretation associated with the
administration and enforcement of the provisions of this ordinance may be appealed
subject to the provisions of Chapter 19.75, Appeals, of the Elgin Municipal Code,
as amended.

license or permit or to seek injunctive relief to enjoin violations of this ordinance
or other applicable provisions of law.
