Family Residence District (minimum 20 ,000 square feet
of lot area ) .
E. Zoning Status : The subject property contains
sufficient area to be developed in accordance with the
zoning and subdivision regulations of the City of
Elgin .
•
F. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning : The areas located to
the north of the subject property are zoned Cook County
R-4 Single Family Residence District and R- 2 Single
- Page 2-
Family Residence District . The R- 2 area is currently
developing with single family residences . The
petitioner is proposing to annex and develop the
unincorporated area with single family residences .
The area located to the east of the subject property is
zoned Cook County R-4 Single Family Residence District
and is developed with an estate residential
subdivision .
The areas located to the south and west of the subject
property are zoned R-4 P . U. D . and are developing with
townhomes/condominiums .
G . Trend of Development : The trend of development in the
area in which the subject property is located is
towards a continuation of an urban residential pattern
of development .
H . Comprehensive Plan : The area in which the subject
property is located is designated "urban residential" .
The wetland area is designated "open space" .
I . P. U. D . Departures : The petitioner is requesting
approval to develop the proposed R-4 P. U. D . subject to
the following departures from the strict application of
the zoning and subdivision regulations :
1 . The centerline curve radii along Coldspring Road is
less than 200 as required in E.M. C . 18 . 24 . 020)A) .
2 . The building sites vary from the minimum R-4
District design standard requiring a 25 foot front
• yard as listed in E.M. C . 19 . 18 .
3 . The length of the cul-de-sac street system exceeds
the maximum of 900 feet as listed in E. M . C .
18 . 24 . 020 (G) .
4 . The proposed pavement width in the cul -de-sac bulbs
is 24 feet (back to back curb and gutter) , which is
a departure from E . M . C . 18 . 28 . 050 (A) . The street
design includes paved areas for curb cut parking in
the cul-de- sac islands .
J . Fiscal Impact : A fiscal impact study for the proposed
planned unit development has not been submitted .
Generally , residential developments do not generate
sufficient revenue to cover expenditures for City
services . However , the fiscal impact of any
residential development must be viewed in terms of
existing and future revenue generating land uses
located within the City of Elgin and within School
District U-46 . The residential , commercial , and
industrial components of the land use system are highly
-Page 3-
interdependent from a fiscal impact point of view , as
well as from a community point of view . Communities
are comprised of places to work , live , shop and
recreate . Accordingly , the fiscal impact of a
residential development must be considered within the
context of the entire land use system and within the
context of a community.
K . Suitability of Annexation and Zoning : In view of the
surrounding land use and zoning , the trend of
development in the area , and the goals , objectives and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan , the current Cook
County R-4 zoning is unsuitable . The subject property
should be annexed and zoned R-4 General Residence
District .
L . P. U. D . Standards : The proposed P. U. D . is in
substantial conformance with the P. U. D . standards .
M. Conditions for Approval : The Land Use Committee is of
