BACKGROUND
Jo Butera, as applicant, and Bella Casa Square, LLC, as property owner, are requesting an
amendment to PAB Planned Area Business District Ordinance No. G30-21, with any departures
from the Elgin Municipal Code requirements as may be necessary or desirable, to modify the
location of recreational amenities within Bella Casa Square, a five-building mixed-use
development with 151 apartments and 13,000-square feet of commercial space, at the property
commonly known as 880-900 Summit Street.
The 7-acre property is part of a 11.3-acre property that was originally approved for the
development of the Dominick's grocery store in 1998 by Ordinance G69-98. At that time, the
surface parking lot that was supposed to serve the grocery store was completed,but the Dominick's
grocery store was never constructed. The PAB District Ordinance G69-98 was later amended by
Ordinance No. G14-07 in 2007 which approved the construction of the O'Reilly Auto Parts retail
store at 854 Summit Street. The parking lot with primary access driveway to Summit Street and
two secondary driveways to Waverly Drive still remains while the rest of the property remains
vacant and undeveloped. The parking lot is connected to the adjacent properties to the west and
east.

In June 2021,the City approved a mixed-use re-development of the subject property,to be known
as Bella Casa,by Ordinance No.G30-21.Bella Casa development consists of two-mixed use,four-
story buildings with ground-floor commercial uses and upper floor apartments (Buildings A and
B),two four-story multi-family residential buildings(Buildings C and D),a five-story multi-family
building (Building E), and a two-story recreation center building. The development includes 151
market-rate apartments,approximately 13,000-square feet of commercial space,and a total of 312
parking spaces.
The proposed recreation center building was designed to include a 5,100-square foot community
clubhouse with a fitness center and an outdoor pool all on the second floor of the building. The
ground floor was designed as an indoor parking garage with 28 parking spaces. The applicant has
applied for a building permit for Building A, but the construction of the development has not
commenced yet.

Figure 2.South(top)and north(bottom)elevations of proposed Figure 3.Revised site plan for Bella Casa
Buidling"A" development
Proposal
The applicant is now proposing to eliminate the recreation center building, and instead construct
resident amenities within Building E. The applicant is proposing to construct a 5,100-square foot
fitness center with full men's and women's locker rooms in the basement level of the 5-story
Building E. In addition, two pickleball courts would be constructed on the roof of the same
Building E.The recreation center building would be replaced with a surface parking lot to maintain
the same number of parking spaces as originally approved.
The applicant sites concerns that the recreation center with an outdoor pool would only be utilized
2-3 months of the year while adding substantial construction and long-term maintenance costs.
There are also safety and liability concerns as the pool would not have a lifeguard on duty. The
proposed fitness center within Building E would be closer and more convenient for the majority
of the residents. The proposed pickleball courts, which is one of the fastest growing sports in the
US,also add an amenity that can be used from April through October.
The proposal does not significantly or negatively affect the previously approved development,
however it exceeds the authority given the development administrator to approve minor changes
-4-
Recommendation& Findings of Fact

to a planned development (Section 19.60.200). As was the case in the original development, the
proposed amenities will serve to satisfy the recreational needs of the residents of the development
and generally satisfy the park impact fee for the development. It is expected that that arrangement
will be a component of a larger economic development agreement that will be presented to City
Council at the same time as this change to the planned development.
The exterior of Building E would only be modified to accommodate a 12-foot high transparent
metal screen for the proposed rooftop pickleball courts. The screen would be installed in between
the proposed parapet walls, which extend more than 12 feet above the roof top. The applicant
would also make minor site changes to reduce the amount of proposed impervious surface along
the north property line. The proposed development would, however, retain the same site layout
and the number of parking spaces(312) as originally proposed.

Recommendation & Findings of Fact
Petition 51-22
January 9,2023
The Community Development Department offers the following additional information:
A. Property History. The subject property was annexed in 1963. Upon annexation the
property was zoned B3 Service Business District. In 1992, the property was zoned AB
Area Business District as part of the comprehensive amendment to the zoning ordinance.
In 2001,the property became part of the Arterial Road Corridor Overlay District
In 1998, the City approved the construction of a Dominick's grocery store by Ordinance
G69-98. The surface parking lot that was supposed to serve the grocery store was
completed but the grocery store building was never constructed.In 2007,the City approved
the construction of a 7,616 square foot commercial building for an auto parts store
(Murray's Auto Parts, now O'Reilly Auto Parts) by Ordinance No. G14-07. In 2021, the
City approved the construction of a mixed-use development on the subject property to
replace the underutilized parking lots, to be known as Bella Casa, by Ordinance No. 30-
21. Bella Casa development was approved for 151 market-rate apartments and 13,000
square feet of commercial space with 312 parking spaces.
B. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning. The subject property is adjacent to a two-story
office building and O'Reilly Auto Parts retail store located to the west, both of which are
part of the PAB Planned Area Business District originally established by Ordinance No.
G69-98 and later amended by Ordinance No. G 14-07. The properties to the east and south
are zoned AB Area Business District. The property to the east is a multi-tenant one-story
commercial building with an accessory parking lot. A multi-tenant shopping center
anchored by Jewel-Osco grocery store and several outlots is located further to the east
across Waverly Drive.The properties to the south across Summit Street include a carwash,
a restaurant, and two, two-story office buildings with multiple tenants. To the north, the
subject property backs up to several two-story multiple-family buildings along Jefferson
Avenue zoned MFR Multiple Family Residence District,which serve as a transitional use
between the commercial uses along Summit Street and the two-family and single-family
residential neighborhood further to the north.
C. Comprehensive Plan. The subject property is designated as Corridor Commercial by the
City's 2018 Comprehensive Plan. Located along the City's heavily traveled corridors and
intersection, Corridor Commercial areas provide retail services to both local and regional
consumer bases. These areas contain a mix of retail from large community centers with
multiple tenants to smaller stand-along businesses.Corridor Commercial areas are the most
widely accommodating and ranging commercial areas within the city. Corridor
Commercial areas are auto-oriented by nature but should also be enhanced to be pedestrian-
friendly.
D. Zoning District. The purpose and intent of the PAB Planned Area Business District is to
-6-

provide commodities and services to several neighborhoods, and in some instances to a
communitywide or regional supporting population, subject to the provision of chapter
19.60 "Planned Developments", of the zoning ordinance. A PAB zoning district is most
similar to,but departs from the standard requirements of the AB zoning district.
E. Trend of Development.The subject property is located along Summit Street just west of
Waverly Drive. Since the early 1980s,the Summit Street corridor between Hiawatha Drive
on the west and Shady Oaks Drive on the east has developed into the main commercial
area on the east side of Elgin. Anchored by two large food stores(Elgin Fresh Market and
Jewel Osco), the corridor includes a variety of office, retail, and service uses, including
fast food restaurants, motor vehicle repair shops, banks, and various retail goods stores.
Most properties are developed with one-story commercial buildings with accessory surface
parking lots. The subject property is the last remaining undeveloped property on this
portion of Summit Street corridor. The City anticipates the corridor will continue to
function as the primary commercial area on the east side of Elgin providing commercial
goods and services to the surrounding neighborhoods and in some instances the larger
community-wide population.
FINDINGS
After due notice as required by law, the Planning & Zoning Commission conducted a public
hearing in consideration of Petition 51-22 on January 9, 2023. Testimony was presented at the
public hearing in support of and against the application.The Community Development Department
submitted a Development Application Review and Written Findings & Recommendation to the
Planning&Zoning Commission dated January 9,2023.
The Community Development Department and the Planning & Zoning Commission have made
the following findings regarding this application against the standards for map amendments
outlined in§ 19.55.030, and planned developments outlined in§ 19.60.040:
STANDARDS FOR MAP AMENDMENTS AND PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS
A. Site Characteristics Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the planned
development with respect to its size, shape, significant natural features including
topography, watercourses and vegetation and existing improvements.
Findings. The subject property is suitable for the intended planned development with
respect to its size, shape, significant features including topography, watercourses,
vegetation, and existing improvements. The 7-acre subject property is partially improved
with a surface parking lot with three access driveways, one to Summit Street and two to
Waverly Drive. In 2021, the City approved a complete redevelopment of the property to
include six buildings and 312 parking spaces. The current proposal eliminates the
-7 -

recreation center building, however, all other buildings, the approved site layout, number
of units,and parking spaces all remain the same.The applicant's proposal also includes the
reduction of the impervious surface along the north property line. No significant natural
features, including topography, watercourses and vegetation exist that could have a
negative impact on the proposed development.
B. Sewer and Water Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the planned
development with respect to the availability of adequate Municipal water, wastewater
treatment and stormwater control facilities.
Findings. The subject property is suitable for the intended planned development with
respect to the availability of adequate water, sanitary treatment, and storm water control
facilities.All required municipal water,sanitary sewer,and stormwater utilities are located
in close proximity of the site. An existing water main already exists on the property, most
of which would be reused to serve the new development. Parts of the water main would be
reconstructed and re-routed so that the new buildings are not located over the utility
infrastructure. All existing sewer and water facilities can adequately serve the proposed
use.
The existing surface stormwater detention facility in the northeast corner of the site would
remain to serve the new development,while the existing underground stormwater detention
facility would be modified so that a new building is not located on top of it, but it would
also be re-used to serve the new development. The proposed development will meet all
requirements of the stormwater ordinance.
C. Traffic and Parking Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the planned
development with respect to the provision of safe and efficient on-site and off site vehicular
circulation designed to minimize traffic congestion.
1. Nonresidential land uses should be located central and accessible to the area or
population served without requiring traffic movements through or into a residential
neighborhood. Nonresidential land uses should not be located within residential
neighborhoods, but on their periphery as defined by the "arterial street"[SRI system.
2. The number of locations for vehicular access to or from a public right of way should be
limited to those which are necessary for the reasonable use of the property and
consistent with current traffic engineering standards. Property with two (2) street
frontages should not be permitted access to or from the street with the higher degree of
continuity within the overall street system or with the higher traffic volume. With the
exception of residential driveways, locations for vehicular access to or from a public
right of way should be aligned directly opposite existing or approved locations across
the street.
Findings. The subject property is suitable for the intended planned development with
respect to the provision of safe and efficient on-site and off-site vehicular circulation

designed to minimize traffic congestion. The applicant has designed the site layout to re-
use the existing driveways to Summit Street and to Waverly Drive. The current proposal
with the reduction of the impervious surface would eliminate the northernmost access
driveway to Waverly Drive. The development would still be served by two access
driveways, one to Summit Street, one to Waverly Drive, which can adequately serve the
proposed development.
As was demonstrated when the proposed project was approved in 2021, the proposed
development is expected to generate significantly less new traffic than the Dominick's
grocery store that was approved for the site,but never constructed.Therefore,the proposed
development will not have a negative effect on the existing traffic circulation in the area.
Bella Casa development was approved with a departure from the parking requirement.The
151 apartments and 13,165 square feet of commercial space were approved to be served
by 312 parking spaces on site which can be shared by all uses.Furthermore,the commercial
space within the development is allowed to be occupied by any permitted use without the
need to construct additional parking spaces, as the site is laid out to maximize the number
of parking spaces.
The current proposal maintains the same number of apartments,commercial space,and the
number of parking spaces on site(312).
The development is also designed to strongly promote walkability, and a PACE covered
bus stop is located on the property immediately to the west. On-street parking is not
permitted on Summit Street nor Waverly Drive. The proposed on-site circulation and
parking arrangement can adequately serve the proposed development and will not have any
negative effect on the surrounding properties.
D. Zoning History Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the planned
development with respect to the length of time the property has remained undeveloped or
unused in its current zoning district.
Findings. The property is suitable for the intended planned development with respect to
the length of time the property has remained undeveloped or unused in its current zoning
district. The subject property was annexed in 1963. Upon annexation the property was
zoned B3 Service Business District. In 1992, the property was zoned AB Area Business
District as part of the comprehensive amendment to the zoning ordinance. In 2001, the
property became part of the Arterial Road Corridor Overlay District
In 1998, the City approved the construction of a Dominick's grocery store by Ordinance
G69-98. The surface parking lot that was supposed to serve the grocery store was
completed but the grocery store building was never constructed.In 2007,the City approved
the construction of a 7,616 square foot commercial building for an auto parts store

square feet of commercial space with 312 parking spaces.
E. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning Standard. The suitability of the subject property for
the planned development with respect to consistency and compatibility with surrounding
land use and zoning.
Findings. The property is suitable for the intended planned development with respect to
consistency and compatibility with surrounding land uses and zoning.The subject property
is adjacent to a two-story office building and O'Reilly Auto Parts retail store located to the
west, both of which are part of the PAB Planned Area Business District originally
established by Ordinance No. G69-98 and later amended by Ordinance No. G14-07. The
properties to the east and south are zoned AB Area Business District. The property to the
east is a multi-tenant one-story commercial building with an accessory parking lot.A multi-

further to the east across Waverly Drive. The properties to the south across Summit Street
include a carwash, a restaurant, and two,two-story office buildings with multiple tenants.
To the north, the subject property backs up to several two-story multiple-family buildings
along Jefferson Avenue zoned MFR Multiple Family Residence District, which serve as a
transitional use between the commercial uses along Summit Street and the two-family and
single-family residential neighborhood further to the north.
F. Trend of Development Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the planned
development with respect to consistency with an existing pattern of development or an
identifiable trend of development in the area.
Findings.The subject property is suited for the intended planned development with respect
to consistency with an existing pattern of development or an identifiable trend of
development in the area. The subject property is located along Summit Street just west of
Waverly Drive. Since the early 1980s, Summit Street corridor between Hiawatha Drive on
the west and Shady Oaks Drive on the east has developed into the main commercial area
on the east side of Elgin.Anchored by two large food stores(Elgin Fresh Market and Jewel
Osco),the corridor includes a variety of office, retail, and service uses,including fast food
restaurants, motor vehicle repair shops, banks, and various retail goods stores. Most
properties are developed with one-story commercial buildings with accessory surface
parking lots. The subject property is the last remaining undeveloped property on this
portion of Summit Street corridor. The City anticipates the corridor will continue to
function as the primary commercial area on the east side of Elgin providing commercial
goods and services to the surrounding neighborhoods and in some instances the larger
community-wide population.

G. Planned Development District Standard: The suitability of the subject property for the
intended planned development district with respect to conformance to the provisions for
the purpose and intent, and the location and size of a zoning district.
Findings. The subject property is suitable for the intended planned development district
with respect to conformance to the provisions for the purpose and intent, and the location
and size of a zoning district. The purpose and intent of the PAB Planned Area Business
District is to provide commodities and services to several neighborhoods, and in some
instances to a communitywide or regional supporting population, subject to the provision
of chapter 19.60"Planned Developments",of the zoning ordinance.A PAB zoning district
is most similar to,but departs from the standard requirements of the AB zoning district.
H. Comprehensive Plan Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the planned
development with respect to conformance to the goals, objectives, and policies of the
Official Comprehensive Plan
Findings. The subject property is suitable for the intended planned development with
respect to conformance to the goals,objectives,and policies of the Official Comprehensive
Plan. The subject property is designated as Corridor Commercial by the City's 2018
Comprehensive Plan. Located along the City's heavily traveled corridors and intersection,
Corridor Commercial areas provide retail services to both local and regional consumer
bases. These areas contain a mix of retail from large community centers with multiple
tenants to smaller stand-along businesses.Corridor Commercial areas are the most widely
accommodating and ranging commercial areas within the city. Corridor Commercial areas
are auto-oriented by nature but should also be enhanced to be pedestrian-friendly.
ADDITIONAL STANDARDS FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS
I. Conditional Use for a Planned Development: Where applicable, the suitability of the
subject property for the intended conditional use for a planned development with respect
to the provision for the purpose and intent of planned developments and with respect to the
provisions of section 19.65.010 of the zoning ordinance. No conditional use for a planned
development should be granted for the sole purpose of introducing a land use not otherwise
permitted on the subject property.
Findings. This standard is not applicable. The applicant is not seeking approval of a
planned development as a conditional use.
J. Natural Preservation Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the intended
planned development with respect to the preservation of all significant natural features
including topography, watercourses, wetlands, and vegetation.
- 11 -
Recommendation & Findings of Fact
Petition 51-22
January 9,2023
Findings. The subject property is suitable for the intended planned development with
respect to the preservation of all significant natural features including topography,
watercourses,wetlands,and vegetation.There are no significant natural features,including
topography,watercourses,wetlands, and vegetation located on the property. The applicant
is proposing to remove the several existing trees on the property to accommodate the new
development, but will install all required replacement trees and all other landscaping
materials in compliance with the zoning ordinance requirements.
K. Internal Land Use. The suitability of the subject property for the intended planned
development with respect to the land uses permitted within the development being located,
designed, and operated so as to exercise no undue detrimental influence on each other or
on surrounding property.
Findings. The subject property is suitable for the intended planned development with
respect to the land uses permitted within the development being located, designed, and
operated so as to exercise no undue detrimental influence on each other or on surrounding
properties. The applicant is proposing a mixed-use commercial and residential
development that would be well integrated with the surrounding uses.The residential units
would generate needed customers for the existing and future commercial uses. The
additional commercial uses in the front two buildings would add new modern commercial
tenant spaces to complement the existing commercial buildings along Summit Street
corridor.
The applicant would remove one existing access driveway to Waverly Street along the
north property line,but would maintain two other existing access driveways,one to Summit
Street and one to Waverly Drive. The property would maintain the cross-access
arrangement with the adjacent property to the west. The proposed development would
generate significantly less traffic when compared to the previously approved grocery store.
The proposal will not have any negative effect on the surrounding properties and will
instead complement and enhance the values of the surrounding properties.
