I
[SR] within a calendar year shall not exceed sixty (60) days. More

additional numbers of signs for zoning lots with four or more users (the Zoning
Ordinance already uses the number four as the level at or above which a zoning lot
could qualify for a shopping center monument sign) and, where a zoning lot has
more than one user, it proposes to cap the maximum number of temporary signs Al)
that any one business could display at four.
4. Enforcement. The effort to minimize sign clutter along city commercial corridors is
time consuming, especially considering changing temporary signs. As such, the
proposed amendment includes a new requirement that a temporary sign

sign permit. In this manner, a code enforcement officer can quickly visually
determine whether or not a sign in the field has been permitted.
Staff believes that proposed changes to the zoning ordinance enhance its effectiveness.
Most importantly, staff believes that the accommodations, which are intended to help
businesses, do not undermine the city's efforts to portray a positive image. In other words,
staff does not believe that these accommodations will suddenly introduce excessive sign
clutter.

reb' PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
RECOMMENDATION AND FINDINGS OF FACT
Conununit■ Development Department Cite of Elgin, IL
SUBJECT
Amend the text of the zoning ordinance to provide greater flexibility to certain establishments seeking
temporary signage, to clarify the way in which temporary uses are counted, and to accommodate the
way in which intermittent temporary uses operate.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Requested Action: Approve Petition 21-12, Text Amendment to Zoning Ordinance
Applicant: City of Elgin
Staff Coordinator: Marc S. Mylott, AICP; Director of Community Development
History: After due notice as required by law, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a
public hearing and considered Petition 21-12 on June 4, 2012. The city as
applicant submitted a Statement of Purpose and Conformance and Text
Amendment Review dated June 4, 2012 and testified at the public hearing.
List of Exhibits: Redline/strikeout version of proposed amendment; and
Transcript.
BACKGROUND
Only a few zoning issues regularly present staff with more administrative difficulties than temporary
uses,temporary signs, and the disconnect between the regulations for each.
More so, within the past two years, staff has been presented with a temporary use business model that
does not operate on consecutive days, rather on one or two regularly scheduled days per week over the
course of several months. Does such a use constitute only one of the four allowed temporary uses on a
zoning lot? How is the time period of such an operation measured and how does the 30-day per
temporary use limit apply? Is the time measured as several months or only the days on which it
operates? Finally, how would such an operation realistically provide signage when the code limits
temporary signs to no more than six and each no more than 15 days?
elmk And the problems are not limited to just temporary uses. For "permanent" establishments, the Zoning
Ordinance does not prevent a single business from using all the annual temporary sign allowances on a
zoning lot where that zoning lot contains more than one business — within a shopping center, for
example.
The above are but a few examples of the issues staff struggles with regarding temporary uses and
temporary signs. As such, staff proposes a comprehensive update to the temporary use and temporary
graphics provisions of the zoning ordinance to accommodate current practices while not compromising
the city efforts to promote a positive image, which includes reducing sign clutter. Table 1 summarizes
the current and proposed permissibility for both. Importantly, the "Notes" column provides a brief
rationale for the proposed change.

Several points deserve additional discussion:
1. Number of Temporary Uses Per Year. The definition of "temporary use" relies on another
defined term "land use", and "land use" could be construed to be either a specific and distinct
operating entity/event or the broad land use classifications listed within each zoning district.
Under the first interpretation, a zoning lot could only host four distinct temporary events each
year. Under the later interpretation, a zoning lot could host any number of different events in so
long as they fell within one of four approved land use classifications. While under either
scenario the maximum number of days of temporary use could not exceed 60, we now believe
that the later interpretation is too liberal and a zoning lot should host no more than four distinct
temporary events. The proposed amendment clearly articulates this sentiment. The proposed
amendment maintains that each temporary use run for no more than 30 consecutive days and the
permit required therewith would so specify the beginning and end point. More so, the
amendment clarifies that, if more than one temporary use operates on a zoning lot at one time,
each use counts as a day of operation against the maximum 60 allowed.
2. Intermittent Temporary Uses. The above notwithstanding, staff believes the zoning ordinance
should accommodate the unique scheduling of certain temporary uses that operate during a
defined time period but not on consecutive days, such as a seasonal or farmer's market. As such,
the proposed amendment creates a new temporary use classification for such intermittent uses
and counts the entire period of operation as one temporary use against the maximum four
allowed. While the days of operation between the beginning and end dates need not be
consecutive,they still cannot exceed 30.
3. Number of Temporary Signs Allowed (Occurrences). The Zoning Ordinance does not consider
whether or not a zoning lot contains multiple users; instead, it sets a hard cap at no more than six
temporary signs. As such, a shopping center, which could contain dozens of users, is treated the
same as a zoning lot with one use. Staff often has to advise businesses that another business
within their development has already used the annual allowance. The proposed amendment
provides additional numbers of signs for zoning lots with four or more users (the Zoning
Ordinance already uses the number four as the level at or above which a zoning lot could qualify
for a shopping center monument sign) and, where a zoning lot has more than one user, it
proposes to cap the maximum number of temporary signs that any one business could display at
four.
4. Enforcement. The effort to minimize sign clutter along city commercial corridors is time
consuming, especially considering changing temporary signs. As such, the proposed amendment
includes a new requirement that a temporary sign conspicuously display a sticker that one will
receive upon receipt of their temporary sign permit. In this manner, a code enforcement officer
can quickly visually determine whether or not a sign in the field has been permitted.
Staff believes that proposed changes to the zoning ordinance enhance its effectiveness. Most
importantly, staff believes that the accommodations, which are intended to help businesses, do not
undermine the city's efforts to portray a positive image. In other words, staff does not believe that these
accommodations will suddenly introduce excessive sign clutter.

1 CHAIRMAN SILJESTROM: The next item
2 on the agenda is one of very special
3 importance, and we have the great honor of
4 having Mr. Mylott be the one to lead this
5 tonight.
6 Mr. Mylott?
7 MEMBER PEDOTE: Mr. Chairman, point
8 of order, I'm going to excuse myself, due to a
9 conflict of interest, from this matter.
10 CHAIRMAN SILJESTROM: You are
11 excused, sir.
47)
12 MR. MYLOTT: Thank you,
13 Mr. Chairman.
14 As Staff described in your Staff report,
15 there are a few zoning issues that we deal with
16 on a regular basis administratively that pose
17 more head-scratching than dealing with
18 temporary uses, temporary signs, and the
19 disconnect between the two. We've outlined
20 some of those questions or imponderables that
21 we deal with.
22 So what Staff has proposed to address
23 those problems is a comprehensive review and
24 recommendation of how the zoning ordinance
47)
SONNTAG REPORTING SERVICE, LTD .
sonntagreporting.com - 800 .232 . 0265
REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS - 6/4/2012
3
1 handles temporary uses and temporary signs.
2 Essentially, we have summarized the
3 changes that we are recommending in Table 1 of
4 your Staff report and provided in the
5 right-hand-most column a brief blurb describing
6 our rationale for that change, but there are a
7 couple of changes that we feel bear additional
8 description.
9 First and foremost is clarification of
10 the number of temporary uses per year. There' s
11 language that establishes the definition of a
12 temporary use, which could lead one to think
13 that it' s talking about specific events that
14 are allowed on a zoning lot in one calendar
15 year.
16 Currently the zoning ordinance says you
17 may have four temporary uses. In the same
18 vein, one could read that language and believe
19 that a temporary use is a much broader category
20 of land use such that you could have a number
21 of different events under the general category
22 of four different types.
23 For example, you could have ten
24 different events; and as long as they were
SONNTAG REPORTING SERVICE, LTD.
sonntagreporting. com - 800 .232 . 0265
REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS - 6/4/2012
4
1 retail, that would only be one temporary event.
2 Staff has experience in reviewing these
3 types of considerations both ways and believes
4 that the latter interpretation of multiple
5 events under a much broader category is too
6 liberal.
7 So what this proposed amendment does is
8 clarify that the maximum number of discrete
9 events -- temporary events that could occur on
10 any one zoning law per calendar year is in fact
11 four.
12 It maintains the notion that a temporary
13 use could not occur any more than 30 days in
14 and of itself; and if in fact a property owner
15 chose to have more than one temporary event on
16 a zoning lot, then the maximum number that
17 could occur would be no more than 60 days.
18 So that's kind of the first big clarification.
19 The second is to include a recognition
20 of certain types of uses that don't fall within
21 the application of temporary uses that the days
22 of operation of a temporary use need be
23 consecutive. These are specially organized,
24 regularly occurring, predetermined yet
A7)
SONNTAG REPORTING SERVICE, LTD.
sonntagreporting. com - 800 . 232 . 0265
REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS - 6/4/2012
5
1 intermittently occurring temporary uses.
2 Probably the best example of a use like
3 that is a seasonal market or farmers market
4 where you have a definite beginning and end,
5 where you have a large collection of users
6 coming together in an organized fashion, and
7 that those occur temporarily no more than once
8 or twice a week but are predetermined and
9 established on a regular basis.
10 Staff recommends a structure that would
11 recognize those types of uses as not having to
12 actually occur every single day from Point A to
13 Point 8 but still establish a beginning and end
14 and ensure that the number of days in between
15 doesn't exceed the 30. So that's kind of the
16 big change number two.
17 The third item is to get a degree of
18 consistency between the number of temporary
19 signs that are allowed as those temporary signs
20 relate to a temporary use.
21 As I 've described, a temporary use could
22 be allowed to occur on a zoning lot up to a
23 maximum number of 30 days; but the maximum
24 number of days that a temporary sign could be
SONNTAG REPORTING SERVICE, LTD.
sonntagreporting. com - 800 .232 . 0265
REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS - 6/4/20L2
'7)
6
1 allowed on a particular property is only 15
2 days.
3 So what this amendment does would be to
4 recognize that if a temporary use is allowed,
5 that allowances be made for temporary signs to
6 run for the duration of that temporary use.
7 Finally, we recommend a slight change to
8 the way in which a temporary sign would have to
9 be posted, and that is to aim to code
10 enforcement.
11 Currently, because of the way that --
12 the number of temporary signs that are out
13 there, the change that these occur, it's
14 difficult for a field inspector to know whether
15 or not they're looking at a lawfully
16 established sign or not.
17 What we would be proposing would be a
18 labeling of that sign in a discrete but visible
19 location that would have on the sign the dates
20 that the sign is allowed so that a code
21 enforcement inspector on a simple drive-by
22 would know whether they are dealing with a sign
23 that has been lawfully established or one that
24 hasn't.
47)

1 Again, there are a couple different
2 changes -- a couple different other changes in
3 here that are less substantive in nature, and
4 those are outlined in Table 1.
5 I would submit that the only other big
6 change, I guess, would be to recognize that the
7 proposal makes allowances to ensure that where
8 you have a zoning lot that has a shopping
9 center on it, for example, that we include a
10 cap on the number of temporary signs that one
11 specific business could pull because currently
12 where we say on a shopping center if you had,
13 for example, 12, 13, 14 different uses, that
14 one zoning lot is allowed six temporary signs.
15 You could have one business come in and
16 take the entire allowance for that zoning lot
17 for that calendar year.
18 So what we've done is recognize that the
19 zoning ordinance already has a structure in
20 place that establishes what is a shopping
21 center. It recognizes that as four
22 principal uses per the zoning lot.
23 So that' s where we drew the line so that
24 we were consistent with the current scheme in
SONNTAG REPORTING SERVICE, LTD.
sonntagreporting.com - 800 .232. 0265
REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS - 6/4/2012
.7)
8
1 the zoning ordinance, and we've made a greater
2 allowance of the number of temporary signs that
3 could go on those larger, more dense zoning
4 lots, dense from a number of users perspective,
5 and then set a cap that no one user could
6 consume all of the temporary signs that would
7 otherwise be allowed.
8 I think that generally summarizes the
9 recommendation, and I 'd be happy to field any
10 questions that you might have.
11 CHAIRMAN SILJESTROM: Mr. Mylott --
12 MR. MYLOTT: Yes, sir.
13 CHAIRMAN SILJESTROM: -- I may have
14 made a mistake.
15 I assumed that this was not a required
16 publication.
17 MR. MYLOTT: It is a required
18 publication.
19 CHAIRMAN SILJESTROM: It is. Then
20 I ask: Do you have evidence of proper notice?
21 MR. MYLOTT: Yes, sir, we do.
22 CHAIRMAN SILJESTROM: Do you have
23 any indication of interested parties?
24 MR. MYLOTT: No, sir, we don't.

1 CHAIRMAN SILJESTROM: Let the
2 record show no interested parties.
3 We have a proposal from Mr. Mylott
4 before us. It's on 21-12. He has taken great
5 lengths to explain what the purposes are. The
6 Chair will entertain a motion on 21-12 .
7 MEMBER MORALES: For clarification
8 purposes, do we have a quorum for this?
9 MR. MYLOTT: Yes, we do.
10 MEMBER KRUGER: I have a question.
11 CHAIRMAN SILJESTROM: Ms. Kruger
12 has a question.
13 MEMBER KRUGER: I 'm just wondering.
14 I'd like a clarification of how many businesses
15 and the types of businesses this affects
16 immediately.
17 MR. MYLOTT: Well, in terms of
18 temporary signs, currently any business in the
19 city would be allowed to pull a permit for a
20 temporary sign provided someone -- provided the
21 allowances afforded that zoning lot haven't
22 already been consumed. This would affect,
23 similarly, all of them.
24 MEMBER KRUGER: So existing
SONNTAG REPORTING SERVICE, LTD.
sonntagreporting. com - 800.232 . 0265
47)REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS - 6/4/2012
10
1 businesses and nonprofits and anybody who
2 wanted to come into the community to work on a
3 site?
4 MR. MYLOTT: Yes, ma'am.
5 As Sarosh said, essentially any
6 nonresidential use on a zoning lot would be
7 entitled to take advantage of these provisions.
8 MEMBER KRUGER: Okay. This is
9 significantly more restrictive than what we've
10 had before?
11 MR. MYLOTT: No, I wouldn't say
47)
12 that.
13 In fact, I would suggest that we have
14 tried to make some allowances recognizing some
15 of the common -- I hate to use the word
16 "complaints. " That seems a little strong.
17 Concerns, I guess, might be a better way to say
18 it.
19 We do get instances where someone wants
20 to come in and pull a permit for a temporary
21 sign, and we have to regretably advise them
22 that "We're sorry, but your zoning lot doesn' t
23 have any allowances. "
24 We believe this new scheme, while it
47,
SONNTAG REPORTING SERVICE, LTD.
sonntagreporting.com - 800 . 232 . 0265
REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS - 6/4/2012
11
1 won't eliminate, should minimize that or create
2 greater opportunity for businesses to have
3 temporary signs. More so we've changed some of
4 the ways in which those signs could be
5 displayed.
6 Currently the only way in which you
7 could display a temporary sign would be of a
8 banner material, and that then could be affixed
9 to either the building or down on the ground.
10 So what we have said is "As long as the
11 material that you're using to display is
12 weatherproof. " For example, that hard plastic
13 that you see, currently someone couldn't use
14 that as a temporary sign. We would now allow
15 that type of material to be a temporary sign.
16 Similarly, if someone wanted to put a
17 temporary sign mounted to a fence or to a wall,
18 that would now be a location that they could
19 use to display their temporary signs.
20 So we believe this offers greater
21 opportunity, greater flexibility for our
22 business community.
23 MEMBER KRUGER: Thank you for your
24 clarification.
