Findings of Fact Zoning and Subdivision Hearing Board
Petition 68-02 January 15, 2003
No conditional use for a planned development shall be granted for the sole
purpose of introducing a land use not otherwise permitted on the subject property.
The purpose and intent of the provisions for planned developments is to
accommodate unique development situations. For planned developments as a
conditional use, the planned development should demonstrate the following
characteri stics:
1. An opportunity to realize a development of demonstrated need with
respect to the types of environment available to the public that would not
be possible under the strict application of the other chapters of this title.
2. The public benefit realized by the establishment of the planned
development is greater than if the property were to remain subject to the
standard requirements of the zoning district in which it is located.
3. Extraordinary conditions or limitations governing site design, function,
operation, and traffic are imposed on the planned development.
Findings. The subject property may be suitable for the intended conditional use
for a planned development with respect to conformance to the provision for the
purpose and intent of planned developments.
The proposed planned development will allow for the construction of a new
building on land which is undevelopable without planned development approval.
The proposed development is not consistent with the recently constructed
buildings in the area. Newer buildings in the area consist of masonry construction
with pitched roofs and other decorative architectural enhancements added to the
building. Further architectural enhancements are necessary if the development is
to meet the intent of planned developments.
Comprehensive Plan Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the
intended conditional use for a 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 conditional use for a
planned development with respect to the comprehensive plan.
The subject property is designated as "Area Business Center" by the Official
Comprehensive Plan of Elgin (1983). The proposed CVS Pharmacy is consistent
with this land use designation.
J. Natural Preservation Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the
intended conditional use for a planned development with respect to the
preservation of all significant planned development with respect to the
preservation of all significant natural features including topography,watercourses,
wetlands, and vegetation.

Findings of Fact Zoning and Subdivision Hearing Board
Petition 68-02 January 15, 2003
C. Section 19.90.320 (A. 1) Fences and Walls. The zoning ordinance allows a solid
fence in a street yard to be a maximum of three feet in height. The applicant is
proposing a six-foot solid fence along the northern portion of the site, adjacent to
Plum Court.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, UNRESOLVED ISSUES,AND ALTERNATIVES
The Zoning and Subdivision Hearing Board has developed or identified the following
findings,unresolved issues, and alternatives:
A. Summary of Findings.
1. Positive Attributes. The new drug store is likely to generate additional retail
and property tax revenue for the community. If the site is to be developed in
accordance with the conditions as recommended by the Zoning and
Subdivision Hearing Board, an attractive new building will be constructed at
one of Elgin's gateway intersections.
2. General. Dundee Avenue and Summit Street are scheduled to undergo
(11.6' improvements to widen the intersection of the two streets. The improvements
will include the provision of a left turn lane for southbound vehicles on
Dundee Avenue. The CVS Pharmacy has been designed to accommodate the
widening of the intersection.
3. Conditional Use for a Planned Development. The proposed development is
not consistent with the recently constructed buildings in the area. Newer
buildings in the area consist of masonry construction with pitched roofs and
other decorative architectural enhancements added to the building. Further
architectural enhancements are necessary if the development is to meet the
intent of planned developments.
4. Internal Land Use. The proposed design of the building does not meet the
product quality standards which are expected in other parts of the city.
Architectural enhancements are necessary if the development is to be of the
quality that is desired for a key gateway intersection.
B. Summary of Unresolved Issues.
1. Product Quality. The Zoning and Subdivision Hearing Board recommends
that the applicant provide a higher quality product. The façade upgrades that
the Zoning and Subdivision Hearing Board is recommending are consistent
with what was required of the new Walgreen's on Larkin Avenue, and are also
justified by the site's location in the ARC district. The recommendation for a
higher quality building is also based upon the re-occurring community
sentiment that new, east side development should adhere to the same design

Findings of Fact Zoning and Subdivision Hearing Board
Petition 68-02 January 15, 2003
Community Development Group: 50% of the foundation planting materials
should be evergreen shrubs.
4. Substantial conformance to the Exterior Building Elevations, dated December 16,
2002, prepared by De Stefano and Partners, with the following revisions, which
will be subject to the review and approval of the Community Development
Group:
a. The exterior building materials should consist of all brick, except for the
cornice, which can be constructed of other material (the brick can be colored
to match the corporate colors, if applicable).
b. The provision of decorative lighting fixtures on the building and in the
parking lot.
c. The provision of a hipped roof containing a minimum 6:12 pitch with
asphalt shingles over the raised portion of the building.
d. The provision of a substantial cornice at the top of the entire building
(cornice can be EIFS, if desired).
e. The provision of a stone building foundation and water table, including at
the base of all columns, and stone horizontal bands around the entire
building (reference Exhibit F).
5. The proposed signs may be established for a period of 3 to 5 years, at which time
the signs shall be modified to conform to the governing sign ordinance at that
time.
6. Resolution of all Engineering concerns.
7. Compliance with all other applicable codes and ordinances.
