SUBJECT Consideration of Petition 2-85 Requesting an Amendment to Chapter 19.34.020 of the Elgin Municipal Code by adding "Poultry Processing, excluding slaughtering and dressing" to the B-4 General Service District Permitted Use List by Griffith Enterprises with the Planning Department. II. CONSIDERATIONS A petition has been filed by Griffith Enterprises with the Planning Department that requests an amendment to the zoning ordinance by adding "Poultry processing, excluding slaughtering and dressing" to the B-4 permitted use list. It should be noted that this petition does not involve any specific property, but concerns the B-4 General Service District. III. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION After due notice, as required by law, the Planning Committee held a public hear- ing on the proposed text amendment on January 16, 1985. The petitioner appeared at the hearing and presented documentary evidence. No objectors appeared and no written objection has been filed to the proposed text amendment. The Planning Committee has made the following findings with respect to the pro- posed text amendment: A. The land use component of the comprehensive plan and the central business district plan both identify a mixed commercial/industrial pattern of development within certain areas of the city. Examples of these areas include North State Street, East Chicago Street, Bluff City Boulevard, and the areas north and east of the civic center. The commercial/industrial pattern of development is a significant land use pattern in Elgin; B. The current zoning ordinance does not fully recognize the commercial/ industrial pattern of development. The B-4 General Service District, however, partially recognizes this mixed pattern of development. In addition to over one hundred and seventy-five (175) business uses, the B-4 district permits cartage and express facilities, packaging and crating, storage and warehousing, welding shops and vegetable oils foods processing. EXHIBIT B N � Findings of Fact Petition 2-85 January 16, 1985 Page Two FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION (Cont'd) C. Therefore, the addition of "Poultry processing, excluding slaughtering and dressing" to the B-4 permitted use list is appropriate for the B-4 General Service District, as well as consistent with the comprehensive and central business district plans. Accordingly, on a motion to recommend approval of Petition 2-85, the vote was four (4) yes, one (1) no, and one (1) abstention. Therefore, the Planning Committee recommends the approval of Petition 2-85. \. ! ' •. Renar. . ac s. , Of airman Planning Commit -e Planning and Land Use Commission • r• .
