G. Planned Development Districts Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the
intended zoning district with respect to conformance to the provisions for the purpose and
intent, and the location and size of a zoning district.
The purpose and intent of the PGI Planned General Industrial District is to provide an alternate
planned industrial environment for those industrial uses that do not require the location or
environment of an ORI Office Research Industrial District. A PGI Planned General Industrial
District is most similar to, but departs from the standard requirements of the GI General
Industrial District. The PGI Planned Industrial District is subject to the provisions of Chapter
19.60, Planned Developments.
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.
ruk 3. The preservation of significant natural features including topography,
watercourses, wetlands, and vegetation.
Planned industrial districts should be located in substantial conformance to the official
comprehensive plan. The amount of land necessary to constitute a separate planned industrial
district exclusive of right of way,but including adjoining land or land directly opposite a right
of way shall not be less than two acres. No departure from the required minimum size of a
planned industrial district shall be granted from the city council.
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 PGI
Planned General Industrial District.
The proposed map amendment is in substantial conformance with the purpose and intent of the
planned development provisions and will provide 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. Likewise, the
proposed planned development is located in substantial conformance to the official
comprehensive plan.
The subject property has been zoned PGI Planned General Industrial District since 2000. The
proposed change in site plan requires an amendment to Planned General Industrial District
Ordinance No. G65-00, which controls the use and development of the subject property.

• Findings of Fact Planning and Development Commission
Petition 10-07 March 5, 2007
The benefit of the planned development procedure is that the City will know exactly how the
site will be developed. The proposed development will be subject to the specific site plan,
building elevation, and landscaped plan provided. The proposed site plan features building
coverage, street vehicle use area setbacks, and building setbacks that are more restrictive than
that required by the standard site design regulations of the GI General Industrial District.
Quality architecture and building materials will be used on the building elevations.
The proposed landscape plan features materials greater in type and quantity than that required
within the PGI District. Landscaping enhancements in the form of trees and shrubs will be
provided along the street lot line of the property in order to minimize the effects the three
proposed industrial buildings will have on the surrounding area and on the Interstate 90 right of
way. The truck loading court along the west side of the lot will be bermed and screened 100%
with evergreen trees that will be planted and maintained at an 8 foot height.
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.
Findings. The subject property is suitable for the intended zoning district with respect to the
Comprehensive Plan Standard.
The subject property is designated as "Office, Research and Industrial," by the City's
Comprehensive Plan and Design Guidelines dated 2005. The proposed planned development is
in conformance with this designation.
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.
There are no significant natural features on the subject property worthy of preserving.
J. Internal Land Use. 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 suitable for the intended planned development with respect to
the internal land use standard.

• Findings of Fact Planning and Development Commission
Petition 10-07 March 5, 2007
No evidence has been submitted or found that the proposed planned development will be
located, designed, or operated in a manner that will exercise undue detrimental influence on
itself or surrounding property.
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DEPARTURES AND EXCEPTIONS
A planned development may be granted certain departures from the normal standards, regulations,
requirements, and procedures of the Elgin Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. This planned
development is zoned PGI District. For the purposes of this section,the most similar zoning district is
the GI General Industrial District. The applicant is requesting the following departure from the standard
requirements of the GI General Industrial District:
Section 19.40.335(E) Setbacks. In the GI zoning district, for a development the size of the
subject property, the vehicle use area interior setback is 10.8 linear feet. The applicant is
requesting a 10 foot vehicle use area interior setback along a portion of the proposed vehicle use
area for the site.
