A PMFR Zoning District is most similar to, but departs from the standard requirements of the MFR Zoning District. In general, the purpose and intent of the provision for planned developments is to accommodate unique development situations. For planned development districts, the planned development should demonstrate the following characteristics: 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. A creative approach to the use of land and related improvements resulting in better design and construction of aesthetic amenities. 3. The preservation of significant natural features including topography,watercourses, wetlands, and vegetation. Findings. The subject property is suitable for the intended zoning district with respect to conformance to the provision for the purpose and intent,and the location and size of a PMFR Planned Multiple Family Residence District. eft The subject property is located in the ARC Arterial Road Corridor District. The purpose of the ARC District is to ensure quality development along the entryway corridors into the City of Elgin.The building design should demonstrate high quality architecture on all elevations. The majority of projects approved in the ARC District contain primarily masonry materials. Departures from the standard requirements of the MFR District are being requested. The proposed departures include density, minimum setbacks, and maximum floor area. H. Comprehensive Plan Standard: The suitability of the subject property for the intended zoning district with respect to conformance to the goals, objectives, and policies of the official comprehensive plan.

Natural Preservation Standard: The suitability of the subject property for the intended planned development with respect to the preservation of all significant natural features including topography, watercourses, wetlands, and vegetation. Findings. The subject property is suitable for the intended planned development with respect to the Natural Preservation Standard. Tyler Creek traverses the westerly portion of the subject property. The subject property contains several mature trees. Many of these trees are of viable quality, and should be preserved. While not all the trees will be preserved if the proposed development is approved, the applicant has designed the site to preserve approximately 26 trees on site. J. Internal Land Use Standard: The suitability of the subject property for the intended planned development with respect to the land uses permitted within the development being located, designed, and operated so as to exercise no undue detrimental influence on each other or on surrounding property. Findings. The subject property is unsuitable for the intended planned development with respect to the internal land use standard. When reviewing the proposal for the existing building,the City found that the land use is a hybrid use similar to both apartments and a nursing home. The proposed net density of approximately one dwelling unit per 982 square feet of land area (160 units on 157,007 square feet of the net residential land area) is substantial higher than other similar senior independent living facilities the City has approved. Village Green of Elgin, located at 801 North McLean Boulevard, was approved at a net density of one dwelling unit per 2,871 square feet of land area. Alden Senior Living,located at 765 Fletcher Drive,was approved at a net density of one dwelling unit per 1,864 square feet of land area. It should be noted that the density allowed within the MFR Multiple Family Residence District is one dwelling unit per 5,000 square feet of land area and the density permitted by the planned development provisions is one dwelling unit per 3,000 square feet of land area. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DEPARTURES AND EXCEPTIONS A planned development may be granted certain departures from the normal standards, regulations, requirements, and procedures of the zoning ordinance. For purposes of comparison,the proposal is most similar in character to the MFR Multiple Family Residence District and CF Community Facility District. No development is planned for the area zoned PCF Planned Community Facility District. The following represents departures from the standard requirements of the MFR Multiple Family Residence District: A. Section 19.25.735 (B.), Lot Area. In the MFR Multiple Family Residence District, the maximum allowable density is one dwelling unit per 5,000 square feet of land area. The - 6 - Findings of Fact Planning and Development Commission Petition 71-05 November 21, 2005 applicant is proposing a density of one dwelling unit per 982 square feet of land area(a 80% departure). B. Section 19.25.735 (E.), Setbacks By Lot Lines. In the MFR Multiple Family Residence District, a 50 foot setback is required from McLean Boulevard and the north property line. The applicant is proposing a 35 foot setback from McLean Boulevard and a 40 foot setback from the north property line (a 30 % and a 20% departure, respectively). C. Section 19.25.735 (H.), Residential Floor Area. In the MFR Multiple Family Residence District, the maximum allowable residential floor area is 49,332 square feet. The proposed total floor area is 182,335 square feet, representing a difference of 133,004 square feet (a 270% departure). SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, UNRESOLVED ISSUES, AND ALTERNATIVES The Planning and Development Commission has developed or identified the following unresolved issues, and alternatives: A. Summary of Findings. 1. Zoning District. The subject property is located in the ARC Arterial Road Corridor District. The purpose of the ARC District is to ensure quality development along the entryway corridors into the City of Elgin. The building design should demonstrate high quality architecture on all elevations. The majority of projects approved in the ARC District contain primarily masonry materials. Departures from the standard requirements of the MFR District are being requested. The proposed departures include density, minimum setbacks, and maximum floor area. 2. Internal Land Use. When reviewing the proposal for the existing building,the City found that the land use is a hybrid use similar to both apartments and a nursing home. The proposed net density of approximately one dwelling unit per 982 square feet of land area is substantially higher than other similar senior independent living facilities the City has approved. Village Green of Elgin, located at 801 North McLean Boulevard, was approved at a net density of one dwelling unit per 2,871 square feet of land area. Alden Senior Living, located at 765 Fletcher Drive, was approved at a net density of one dwelling unit per 1,864 square feet of land area. It should be noted that the density allowed within the MFR Multiple Family Residence District is one dwelling unit per 5,000 square feet of land area and the density permitted by the planned development provisions is one dwelling unit per 3,000 square feet of land area. - 7 - • Findings of Fact Planning and Development Commission Petition 71-05 November 21, 2005 B. Summary of Unresolved Issues. 1. Density. The proposed net density is one dwelling unit per 982 square feet of lot area The Planning and Development Commission recommends that the density should not exceed one dwelling unit per 1,864 square feet. This would result in a reduction in the number of dwelling units by approximately 50%. 2. Building Materials. The proposed elevations indicate that fiber cement board and panelized E.I.F.S. will be the primary exterior materials. The Planning and Development Commission recommends that the exterior building materials shall be constructed of 90%masonry materials. 3. Site Design. The applicant is requesting a 40 foot building setback from the north property line.The Planning and Development Commission recommends a minimum setback of 50 foot from the north property line. 4. Improvements to N. McLean Boulevard. The Planning and Development Commission recommends that McLean Boulevard be widened to provide for a dedicated left turn lane to the site. The applicant is not proposing to provide a left turn lane. C. Summary of Alternatives. Other than an approval, a denial,or an approval with some combination of conditions,there are no substantive alternatives.
