BACKGROUND
Amy Porter Art Inc., DBA: Alchemy Tattoo&Gallery, as applicant, and Cuming Holdings LLC,
as property owner, are requesting(1)to amend Title 19"Zoning"of the Elgin Municipal Code to
modify the zoning ordinance regulations for tattoo parlors within ARC Arterial Road Corridor
Overlay District,and(2)a conditional use to establish a(1)tattoo parlor, (2)an art gallery, and(3)
a commercial event space for activities pertaining to assembly of people at the property commonly
referred to as 107 E. Highland Avenue. The property is located in downtown Elgin and is zoned
CC 1 Center City District and is part of the ARC Arterial Road Corridor Overlay District.
The subject tenant space is 2,200 square feet in area and occupies the entire second floor of the
two-story building located at the southeast corner of N.Grove and E. Highland Avenues.The two-
story building covers the entire 1,905-square foot property. The subject property fronts on N.
Grove Avenue on the west, E. Highland Avenue on the north, and a public alley on the east, but
does not have vehicular access. Pedestrian access is provided via multiple doors from both streets.
The access door to the second-floor staircase is located near the middle of the north elevation along
E. Highland Avenue.
The two-story building, known as the B. Hagelow Building, designed in Commercial Italianate
style was completed in 1885. The building was constructed for Bernard Hagelow, a wholesale
dealer and bottler for Pabst Brewing Company. It is believed that the first use of the property was
the Mortiz Klinger Saloon. By 1887,though, Bernard Hagelow and Mortiz Klinger were listed as
partners at this location so the saloon and beer bottling company continued to operate until the
Prohibition in 1914. After the Prohibition, taverns continued to operate in the building. The first
floor of the building is currently occupied by Red Poppy Bistro restaurant. The second floor is
vacant,but was most recently used as an office space.

Recommendation & Findings of Fact
Petitions 52-21 and 62-21
January 10, 2022
While tattoo parlors are allowed as a conditional use in both CC 1 and CC2 downtown districts,
ARC Arterial Road Corridor Overlay District prohibits the establishment of tattoo parlors, among
other specific land uses,on properties which front on arterial roadways.Because Highland Avenue
is an arterial roadway, the subject property is part of the ARC overlay district, and a tattoo parlor
is not allowed on the property. Therefore, the applicant is proposing to amend the regulations
within the ARC overlay district to allow tattoo parlors above the first floor of properties located
along Highland Avenue on the east side of Fox river(more specifically from Geneva Street on the
east end where Highland Avenue starts, to Riverside Drive on the west end). The existing
prohibition of tattoo parlors along the remainder of Highland Avenue west of the river and any
other arterial road would remain.
Conditional uses require the review and recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission
and approval by the City Council.
The Community Development Department offers the following additional information:
A. Property History.The subject property was part of the original town of Elgin subdivision
since the City's incorporation in 1835. The property was originally zoned E Commercial
District in 1927. In 1962, the property was rezoned to B-2 Central Business District, and
in 1992,the property was rezoned to CC 1 Center City District as part of the comprehensive
amendment to the zoning ordinance. In 2001,the property became part of the ARC Arterial
Road Corridor Overlay District.
The two-story building on the property, known as the B. Hagelow Building, designed in
Commercial Italianate style was completed in 1885. The building was constructed for
Bernard Hagelow, a wholesale dealer and bottler for Pabst Brewing Company. It is
believed, however, that the first use of the property was the Mortiz Klinger Saloon. By
1887,though,Bernard Hagelow and Mortiz Klinger were listed as partners at this location,
so the saloon and beer bottling company continued to operate until the Prohibition in 1914.
After the Prohibition, taverns continued to operate in the building. The first floor of the
building is currently occupied by Red Poppy Bistro restaurant. The second floor is vacant,
but was most recently used as an office space.
B. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning. The properties to the west, south, and east are all
zoned CC 1 Center City District. The property to the west is a two-story former bank
building,where the City recently approved the adaptive reuse of the building as a dormitory
and classroom space for Judson University. The property adjacent to the south is a surface
parking lot. The property adjacent to the east is a two-story commercial building that is
currently vacant. The property to the north across E. Highland Avenue is zoned CF
Community Facility District and is improved with a city-owned public parking lot.
C. Comprehensive Plan.The subject property is designated as Downtown Mixed-Use by the
- 5 -
Recommendation & Findings of Fact
Petitions 52-21 and 62-21
January 10, 2022
City's 2018 Comprehensive Plan and Design Guidelines. Elgin's historic downtown
contains mixed-use structures featuring retail, restaurant, service uses, office and
residential uses. Mixed-use structures contribute to an active street life and help foster a
unique sense of place within Elgin. A variety of uses should be encouraged throughout the
Downtown and should be located at or near the sidewalk with parking in the rear.
D. Zoning District. The purpose and intent of the CC 1 Center City District is to facilitate the
implementation of the official comprehensive plan for the city center, as focused on a
distinctive subarea of the city with a common urban fabric. The CC 1 zoning district
provides for a concentration of finance, service, retail, civic, office, and cultural uses in
addition to complementary uses such as hotels, entertainment and housing. The
development standards are intended to encourage a mix of activity in the area while
providing for quality development that maintains a sense of history, human scale and
pedestrian-oriented character.
E. Trend of Development. The subject property is located within the traditional downtown
area that has historically been developed with a mix of commercial, retail, service,
restaurants, and residential uses. The city encourages downtown development that will
foster a vibrant,walkable,mixed-use center for the community,as well as a regional center
with an urban fabric unique to the Chicago metropolitan region. In recent years, the
downtown has experienced significant revitalization with several building and fagade
renovations, including the Tower Building at 100 E. Chicago Street, 19-21 Douglas
Avenue building, and the restoration of the former Gasthaus restaurant at 11-15 N. Grove
Avenue. Some of the notable businesses that have recently opened in the downtown area
include Kubo Sushi and Sake Lounge,BeaUnique Latin Kitchen,Meraki Market Hub,and
Vein's Tavern.
FINDINGS
After due notice as required by law, the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public
hearing in consideration of Petitions 52-21 and 62-21 on January 10, 2022. Testimony was
presented at the public hearing in support of the application. The Community Development
Department submitted a Development Application Review and Written Findings and
Recommendation to the Planning and Zoning Commission dated January 10, 2022.
The Community Development Department and the Planning and Zoning Commission have made
the following findings regarding this application against the standards for conditional uses outlined
within§ 19.65.030:
STANDARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USE
A. Site Characteristics Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the intended
-6-
Recommendation & Findings of Fact
Petitions 52-21 and 62-21
January 10, 2022
conditional use with respect to its size, shape, significant features including topography,
watercourses, vegetation, and existing improvements.
Findings. The subject property is suitable for the intended conditional use with respect to
its size,shape,significant features including topography,watercourses,and vegetation,and
existing improvements.The proposed tattoo parlor and art gallery would occupy the vacant
second-floor commercial space within the existing two-story building that occupies the
entire property. The pedestrian access to the second-floor tenant space is located near the
middle of the building's north elevation along E. Highland Avenue. The property fronts on
N. Grove Avenue on the west,E. Highland Avenue on the north,and a 12-foot public alley
on the east side, however no vehicular access to the property exists. The applicant is not
proposing to make any exterior changes to the existing building. No existing site features
including topography, watercourses, vegetation, and property improvements exist that
would have a negative impact on the proposed conditional use.
B. Sewer and Water Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the intended
conditional use with respect to the availability of adequate water, sanitary treatment, and
storm water control facilities.
Findings. The subject property is suitable for the intended conditional use with respect to
the availability of adequate water, sanitary treatment, and storm water control facilities.
The property and the subject commercial space are currently served by municipal water,
sanitary sewer,and storm water systems.The applicant is not proposing any changes to the
existing sewer and water utilities. The existing sewer and water facilities can adequately
serve the proposed use.
C. Traffic and Parking Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the intended
conditional use with respect to the provision of safe and efficient on-site and off-site
vehicular circulation designed to minimize traffic congestion.
Findings. The subject property is suitable for the intended conditional use with respect to
the provision of safe and efficient on-site and off-site vehicular circulation designed to
minimize traffic congestion. The existing building covers the entire property with no on-
site parking or vehicular access. Pedestrian access to the building is provided from both N.
Grove Avenue and E. Highland Avenue,but the access to the second-floor unit is located
near the middle of the building's north elevation along E. Highland Avenue. The subject
property is located in downtown Elgin which functions with safe and efficient vehicular
circulation. The proposed use will not have any negative effect on the existing off-site
traffic circulation.
The zoning ordinance does not require off-street parking be provided by any land use
within the CC 1 district. On-street parking is provided on both sides of N. Grove Avenue
and on the south side of E. Highland Avenue. In addition, employees and customers will
- 7 -
Recommendation & Findings of Fact
Petitions 52-21 and 62-21
January 10, 2022
have access to all public parking facilities in the downtown area including the surface
parking lot across the street where approximately 290 parking spaces are available south
of Dexter Court for public parking.
D. Location, Design, and Operation Standard. The suitability of the subject property for
the intended conditional use with respect to it being located, designed, and operated so as
to promote the purpose and intent of this title and chapter.
Findings. The subject property is suitable for the intended conditional use with respect to
it being located, designed, and operated so as to promote the purpose and intent of the
zoning ordinance.
The applicant is not proposing any exterior changes to the building. All business activities
will be conducted on the interior of the building without any impact on the surrounding
properties.
No evidence has been submitted or found that the proposed use will be located or operated
in a manner that will exercise undue detrimental impact on surrounding properties. While
accessory music for events would be permitted, the space would not be permitted to be
used as a music or concert venue. Due to the small size of the tenant space (2,200 square
feet in area) and the proposed layout, the maximum capacity for any type of event,
including but not limited to art exhibits, paint and draw nights, and fundraisers would be
20 persons.The applicant must comply with Chapter 10.30"Noise"of the Elgin Municipal
Code, 1976 as amended. The facility would not be available for rent for any type of third-
party events, and no food or drinks would be served at any events.
E. Historic Preservation Standard. Where applicable, the conditional use shall make
possible an efficient contemporary use of, or a compatible improvement to a designated
landmark or property located in a designated historic district while preserving those
portions and features of the property which are significant to its historic, architectural,
and cultural values to an historic preservation plan.
Findings. This standard is not applicable. The subject property is neither designated as a
local historic landmark nor is it located within a locally designated historic district. The
property is, however,part of the Downtown Elgin Commercial National Register Historic
District. With only minor alterations to the building since it was completed in 1885, the
building is considered contributing to the Downtown Historic District. Still,while no City
or State regulations are associated with this designation,the applicant does not propose any
changes to the exterior of the building.
STANDARDS FOR TEXT AMENDMENTS
For consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Community Development
Department offers that the proposed text amendment complies with the following purposes and
- 8 -

office uses within the Downtown area and continue existing efforts to maintain the
