vacant tenant space. The applicant is not proposing to make any interior or exterior changes to
accommodate the new use.The space includes a 1,500-square foot front office space and a 17,000-
square foot warehouse space in the rear.The operation would combine various dry ingredients and

not generate any fumes or emissions. Special exhaust is not required. The space includes four
loading docks in rear and the applicant expects daily pick-up and deliveries by semi-trucks
between 8:00 am and 2:00 pm. The hours of operation would be Monday-Friday from 7:00 am to
4:00 pm with up to six employees during the peak shift.
The proposed use is required to provide one parking space per 1,000 square feet of floor area, or
one parking space per 1.5 employees during the peak shift demand, whichever is greater. With
18,595 square feet and only six employees during the peak shift, the proposed use is required to
have a total of 19 parking spaces.

The manufacturing of food and kindred products is listed as a conditional use in the PORI Planned
Office Research Industrial District established by Ordinance No. G26-01, as amended by
Ordinance No. G56-12, and requires 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 annexed to the city in 2000.Upon annexation,
the property was zoned PORI Planned Office Research Industrial District by Ordinance
No. G54-00. In 2001, the PORI District was amended and the construction of the existing
building was approved by Ordinance No. G26-01, which also rescinded and replaced
Ordinance No. G54-01. In 2012, PORI District Ordinance No. G26-01 was amended to
allow for certain vehicle use area interior yard setback encroachments.

Recommendation & Findings of Fact
Petition 37-20
January 4, 2021
The existing 117,000 office and warehousing building was constructed in 2002.
B. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning. The property is located in the office and industrial
area west of N. Randall Road and north of I-90 Tollway. The properties to the west, south
and east are all zoned PORI Planned Office Research Industrial District and are improved
with office and warehousing buildings similar to the existing building on the subject
property.
The properties to the north across IL Route 72/Higgins Road are primarily located in the
Village of West Dundee and are zoned SDD Special Development District and RE-1
Residential Estate Dwelling District. One approximately 36,000-square foot property
remains unincorporated and is zoned F Farming by the Kane County.
C. Comprehensive Plan.The subject property is designated as Light Industrial by the City's
2018 Comprehensive Plan. This land use includes light-industrial uses and business parks
consisting of a range of uses such as research and development, light distribution and
warehousing, light manufacturing, and service and consumer-oriented businesses. The
scale and intensity of these uses should vary based on context and respect the scale and
character of nearby housing when located near a residential area. When adjacent to a
commercial district or residential neighborhoods, buffering and screening should be in
place to appropriately mitigate potential negative impacts and nuisances. Generally
speaking, light-industrial uses and activities are conducted entirely indoors and are
relatively low in intensity with limited impact on adjacent properties.
D. Zoning District. The purpose and intent of the PORI Planned Office Research Industrial
District established by Ordinance No. G26-01 is to provide a planned industrial
environment that fosters a sense of place and destination within a coordinated campus or
park setting, subject to the provisions of Chapter 19.60, Planned Developments. A PORI
zoning district is most similar to but departs from the standard requirements of the ORI
zoning district.
E. Trend of Development. The subject property is part of a light-industrial area north of I-
90 and west of Randall Road. The area is almost entirely built-out with office and
warehousing developments primarily occupied by warehousing and light-industrial uses.
Due to the proximity to Randall Road and the ease of access to I-90, the light-industrial
area will remain one of City's most desirable and will continue to attract office and
warehousing uses and developments in the future.
FINDINGS
After due notice as required by law, the Planning & Zoning Commission conducted a public
hearing in consideration of Petition 37-20 on January 4, 2021. Testimony was presented at the
public hearing in support of the application. The Community Development Department submitted

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 breadcrumbs manufacturing facility would occupy
an existing 18,595-square foot tenant space within an existing office and warehousing
building. The applicant is not proposing to make any interior or exterior changes to the
building to accommodate the new use. No existing site features including topography,
watercourses, vegetation, and property improvements exist that would have a negative
impact on the proposed conditional use.

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 existing building are currently served by municipal water, sanitary
sewer,and storm water systems.The applicant is not proposing any changes to the existing
water,sewer, and stormwater facilities. The proposed breadcrumbs manufacturing process
is all electric and fully automated and does not require any water or sewer facility
modifications. The existing water and sanitary sewer 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

Recommendation & Findings of Fact
Petition 37-20
January 4,2021
constructed in 2002.The proposed tenant space includes four loading docks. With only six
employees during its peak operating shift, the proposed use will not have any negative
effect on the existing safe and efficient on-site vehicular circulation,and will not have any
impact on the off-site traffic circulation.
The proposed use is required to provide one parking space per 1,000 square feet of floor
area, or one parking space per 1.5 employees during the peak shift demand, whichever is
greater.With 18,595 square feet and only six employees during the peak shift,the proposed
use is required to have a total of 19 parking spaces.
The building has three other office/warehousing tenants (Fit Bearings, Lansing Building
Products, and PSAV Presentation Services) and one other vacant tenant spaces. With the
other three tenants,and the proposed Bianchi Breadcrumb Corporation manufacturing use,
the building is required to have a total of 73 parking spaces. With 126 parking spaces on
site,the property will continue to meet its parking requirement.
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. All business activities will be conducted on the interior. With the
proposed hours of operation Monday-Friday from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm and deliveries by
semi-truck from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm the business operation is consistent with those of
surrounding businesses. The applicant is not proposing to make any interior or exterior
changes to the subject tenant space or the building. The proposed breadcrumbs
manufacturing process is all electric and automated and does not emit any fumes or odors.
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 uses and properties.
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.
