BACKGROUND
1300 Abbott LLC., as applicant, and Sunstar Pharmaceutical, Inc., as property owner, are
requesting a conditional use to establish an adult-use cannabis craft grower at the property
commonly referred to as 1300 Abbott Drive.
The 2.98-acre property,zoned GI General Industrial District,is located on the north side of Abbott
Drive approximately '/ of a mile east of N. McLean Boulevard. The property is part of the Elgin
Industrial Park platted in 1963. On the north side, the property is adjacent to the Union Pacific
Railroad. The property is improved with a 51,173-square-foot, one-story light-industrial building
and a surface parking lot with 56 parking spaces. The building is located on the northern portion
of the property closer to the railroad tracks with a 173-foot setback from the front property line.
The property is currently vacant.
The properties to the east, west, and north are also zoned GI General Industrial District and are
part of the same Elgin Industrial Park established in 1963. The property adjacent to the east is a
one-story light-industrial building home to Toolmex Industrial Solutions, an industrial producer
and supplier of engineered products for metalworking, machinery and electric motor industries.
The property to the west is improved with a one-story manufacturing facility home to Printpack, a
packaging company. The property to the north across the railroad tracks is improved with a one-
story light-industrial building home to Excelsior and TEC HVAC distributors. The properties to
the south across Abbott Drive are zoned MFR Multiple Family Residence District and are
improved with 2.5-story multiple-family buildings with accessory parking lots that were
constructed in the late-1960s.

Proposal
The applicant is proposing to establish an adult-use (recreational) cannabis craft grower facility
within the existing 51,173-square foot building. A craft grower is a smaller facility (when
compared to the cultivation center) licensed by the State of Illinois Department of Agriculture to
cultivate,dry,cure and package cannabis,and perform other necessary activities to make cannabis
available for sale at a dispensing organization or use at a processing organization.
The applicant has received a license from the State of Illinois Department of Agriculture and must
establish the operations by July 31, 2022. In spring 2020, the applicant submitted the application
to State of Illinois to operate the craft grower at 925 Toll Gate Road. Because the State's selection
process took longer than anticipated, the 925 Toll Gate Road property is no longer available. The
applicant still received the license from the State of Illinois which can now be used to operate a
craft grower at another location.

77." SITE PLAN
Figure 3.Proposed site plan
A craft grower is permitted to have up to 14,000 square feet of cannabis plant growing canopy.
However, the State of Illinois first issues the license for 5,000 square feet of canopy. Applicants
can subsequently request approval to expand the canopy area in 3,000-square foot increments up
to the maximum permitted 14,000 square feet. The applicant has received approval for the initial
5,000 square feet of canopy space and intends to apply for and expand the operations up to the
maximum permitted 14,000 square feet of canopy space in the future.
The applicant is proposing substantial interior remodel to accommodate the new use,however,no
exterior changes to the building are proposed. In addition to the planned future expansion of the
canopy space and production rooms,the facility would have staging and loading areas, a trimming
and packaging room, future infusion kitchen, product vault, cash vault, mechanical rooms, and
staff offices, among others. Site improvements include the installation of a 6-foot-high, open-
design,security fence around the perimeter of the building,new site lighting with security cameras
on all sides of the building, and a new monument graphic along Abbott Drive all of which would
comply with the zoning ordinance requirements.
The proposed hours of operation would be 8 a.m.to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday with approximately 10
employees.In addition to extensive tracking and monitoring of cannabis product,the facility would
have two security guards during the hours of operation and one security guard when the facility is

closed. There would be no on-site retail sales of cannabis and no on-site consumption of cannabis
products. Sales of cannabis products would be made only to licensed companies, and product
would be picked-up approximately once per week by State-licensed, third-party transporting
companies. The Elgin police department has reviewed the proposed security plan and confirmed
the proposal is in compliance with the state requirements for cannabis production facilities.

Figure 3. Proposed floor plan
The proposed facility is required to have one parking space per 1,000 square feet of building floor
area, or one parking space per 1.5 employees, whichever is greater. With 51,173 square feet and
10 employees, the facility is required 51 parking spaces. With 56 parking spaces on site, the
property will continue to meet its parking requirement.
Environmental Impact
The applicant will implement an odor control plan to mitigate and prevent any nuisance to the
surrounding properties. The natural growth of cannabis product and other processes at such
production facilities emit odor referred to as volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. The VOCs
from the cannabis industry typically do not pose a threat to human health.The applicant will install
and operate various types of odor control equipment, including carbon filtration, photocatalytic
- 5 -
Recommendation & Findings of Fact
Petition 60-21
January 10, 2022
oxidization air purifiers, and a closed-loop mechanical HVAC system that will recirculate the air
rather than exhausting the air to the exterior.
Like other types of agriculture, cannabis production can be a water-intensive process. However,
the applicant plans to utilize certain filtration processes and irrigation methods that will
significantly reduce water needs and reduce wastewater as a byproduct of cannabis cultivation. To
minimize the risk of introducing any contaminants to cannabis plants typically found in drinking
water, the facility will utilize reverse osmosis (RO) filtration system to strip any impurities or
pollutants out of the water before it is dispersed to the plants.
To maintain an environment that is conducive to plant health and growth, water vapor must be
continuously removed from the air to maintain ideal growing conditions. This is achieved through
HVAC system and/or dehumidifiers. The water vapor that is collected is called condensate and is
mostly clean water containing almost no impurities.Approximately 95%of water irrigated is taken
up by the plant and transpired into the air.The applicant anticipates recapturing 90-95%of irrigated
water through condensate. This water is filtered and reused for irrigation.
Overall, the applicant anticipates the facility using about 280 gallons of water per day (8,400
gallons/month)for the maximum 14,000 square feet of canopy growth.This expected consumption
level is less than a typical three-person household,which uses approximately 300 gallons of water
per day(9,000 gallons/month).
The facility will dispose of any liquid and non-liquid waste products in compliance with all
applicable state and federal agencies, including Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). All cannabis waste rendered unusable would
be composted. Composting would consist of grinding waste cannabis material and mixing it into
other ground material. The resulting mix will consist of at least 50% non-cannabis waste by
volume.The composted cannabis waste is then picked-up and disposed of by a waste management
company at State of Illinois approved waste facilities.
The adult-use cannabis craft grower is classified as a conditional use in the GI General Industrial
District and requires the review and recommendation of an application for conditional use by the
Planning and Zoning Commission and approval by City Council.
The City Council approved its zoning scheme for adult-use cannabis businesses in late 2019.
Dispensaries may locate by grant of conditional use in Neighborhood Business (NB), Area
Business (AB), and downtown (CC 1 and CC2) zoning districts. Growing, processing, and
transporting businesses may locate by grant of conditional use in General Industrial (GI) and
Office Research Industrial (ORI) zoning districts. No adult-use cannabis business may locate.
within 250 feet of a sensitive land use, including a public or private preschool or elementary or
secondary school or daycare center, daycare home, group daycare home, part-day childcare
facility,college,or university,or a publicly owned or operated park or forest preserve. Residential
land uses are not considered a sensitive land use from which a cannabis business must be setback.

Recommendation &Findings of Fact
Petition 60-21
January 10, 2022
The Community Development Department offers the following additional information:
A. Property History. The property was annexed to the City in 1960. Upon annexation, the
property was zoned F Industrial. In 1962, the property was rezoned to M1 Limited
Manufacturing. In 1992,the property was rezoned to GI General Industrial District as part
of the comprehensive amendment to the zoning ordinance.
The existing one-story light-industrial building was constructed in the1964.
B. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning. The properties to the east, west, and north are also
zoned GI General Industrial District and are part of the same Elgin Industrial Park
established in 1963.The property adjacent to the east is a one-story light-industrial building
home to Toohnex Industrial Solutions, an industrial producer and supplier of engineered
products for metalworking, machinery and electric motor industries. The property to the
west is improved with a one-story manufacturing facility home to Printpack, a packaging
company. The property to the north across the railroad tracks is improved with a one-story
light-industrial building home to Excelsior and TEC HVAC distributors. The properties to
the south across Abbott Drive are zoned MFR Multiple Family Residence District and are
improved with 2.5-story multiple-family buildings with accessory parking lots that were
constructed in the late-1960s.
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 GI General Industrial District is to provide
an alternate industrial environment for those industrial uses that do not require the location
or environment of an ORI zoning district.
E. Trend of Development. The subject property is located in an industrial area concentrated
along Union Pacific railroad east of N. McLean Boulevard and south of Big Timber Road.
The area was platted and developed with light-industrial buildings and uses in the 1960s.
Most industrial buildings in the area are approaching the end of their life span and are
expected to be redeveloped.Most industrial facilities today choose to locate near interstates
for ease of transportation. The subject property is not located near an interstate. The
- 7-
Recommendation & Findings of Fact
Petition 60-21
January 10,2022
location of this industrial area is less desirable and will likely be the reason for slower than
desirable redevelopment of the industrial facilities.The proximity to two railroads does not
make the properties suitable for many types of adaptable reuse. Therefore, the area will
likely remain underutilized with aging light-industrial properties in the immediate future.
FINDINGS
After due notice as required by law, the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public
hearing in consideration of Petition 60-21 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
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 property is developed with a 51,173-square foot one-story
light-industrial building and accessory parking lot with 56 parking spaces. The building
has a 173-foot setback from the front property line along Abbott Drive, which results in
large open space on the portion of the property closest to the residential properties on the
south side of Abbot Drive. The applicant is proposing to establish its operations within the
existing building. The applicant is not proposing to make any exterior changes to the site,
other than a code-compliant fence, site lighting, and a monument graphic. 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 is served by municipal water, sanitary sewer, and storm water systems. The
- 8 -
Recommendation & Findings of Fact
Petition 60-21
January 10,2022
applicant will make the necessary upgrades to water and server services, but the existing
water and sewer infrastructure can adequately service the proposed use. The applicant is
not proposing any changes to the existing storm sewer infrastructure.
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 proposed cannabis craft grower operations would be
located within the existing building on the property. The facility will have only ten
employees and product pick-up would take place only once per week.The applicant is not
proposing to make any changes to the existing vehicular access and the surface parking lot.
The immediate area functions with safe and efficient vehicular circulation. The proposed
use will not have any negative effect on the existing traffic configuration in the immediate
area.
The proposed facility is required to have one parking space per 1,000 square feet of floor
area or one parking space per 1.5 employees, whichever is eater. With 51 173 square
P g P p �' � q
feet of building floor area and 10 employees, the facility is required 51 parking spaces.
With 56 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. The proposed cannabis production would take place entirely on the
interior of the existing building. The proposed hours of operation 8 am — 6 pm Monday
through Friday are similar to other business operations in the area. The facility will not
cause any noxious odors. With only ten employees and product pick-up only once per
week, the facility will have minimal impact on the existing traffic pattern in the
neighborhood. The proposed use will not be located and operated in a manner that will
exercise undue detrimental impact on surrounding 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.
-9-
Recommendation & Findings of Fact
