Findings of Fact Zoning and Subdivision Hearing Board
Petition 41-08 August 20, 2008
The proposed drive-through restaurant meets the purpose and intent of the NB Neighborhood
Business District. It will provide a daily convenience commodity and service to surrounding
neighborhoods. The restaurant is a consistent and compatible land use with the land uses that
surround it. The restaurant also meets development standards that are intended to promote a
transition between the more intense development in the NB zoning district and the residential
neighborhood adjoining the NB district.
The subject property is located in an ARC Arterial Road Corridor Overlay District. The
proposed building for Beef Villa will meet ARC Arterial Road Corridor Overlay District
standards and Architectural Design Review guidelines. The building will consist of brick
exterior walls. The walls will be accented with arches, formed and filled-in with brick of a
lighter color than that used on the walls.This light colored brick will also be used to accent
soldier courses on the building. A single soldier course will wrap around the base of the
building and a double soldier course will wrap around the top of the building on all sides.
The bricks that form the arch outline and soldier course will be slightly raised from the wall
of the building to add shadow and definition to the building.The arch feature will also form
the framework of the freestanding monument sign. Red metal canopies, the same color as
the Beef Villa channeled letters on the building,will be placed over door and window areas
to accent both the building and the signs. Wall mounted lights will also be included on the
building. The parking lot will be constructed with permeable pavers. Landscaping will
exceed NB District landscape requirements.

intended conditional use for a planned development with respect to conformance for the
purpose and intent of the planned development.
No conditional use for a planned development should 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 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. 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.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS,UNRESOLVED ISSUES,AND ALTERNATIVES
The Zoning and Subdivision Hearing Board has developed or identified the following unresolved
issues and alternatives:
A. Summary of Findings.
Positive Attributes. The proposed drive-through restaurant meets the purpose and intent of
the NB Neighborhood Business District and the Comprehensive Plan. It will provide a daily
convenience commodity and service to surrounding neighborhoods and to the entire
community living on the east side of Elgin. The restaurant is a consistent and compatible
land use with the land uses that surround it. The restaurant also meets development
standards that are intended to promote a transition between the more intense development in
the NB zoning district and the residential neighborhood adjoining the NB district.
The subject property is located in an ARC Arterial Road Corridor Overlay District. The
proposed building will meet ARC Arterial Road Corridor Overlay District standards and
Architectural Design Review guidelines. The building will consist of brick exterior walls.
The walls will be accented with arches,formed and filled-in with brick of a lighter color than
that used on the walls.This light colored brick will also be used to accent soldier courses on
the building. A single soldier course will wrap around the base of the building and a double
soldier course will wrap around the top of the building on all sides.The bricks that form the
arch outline and soldier course will be slightly raised from the wall of the building to add
shadow and definition to the building. The arch feature will also form the framework of the
freestanding monument sign. Red metal canopies, the same color as the Beef Villa
channeled letters on the building,will be placed over door and window areas to accent both
the building and the signs. Wall mounted lights will also be included on the building. The
parking lot will be constructed with permeable pavers. Landscaping will exceed NB District
