On July 25, 2012, the development received site plan approval for an approximately 16,000 square foot retail building along Bowes Road, between the Sam's Club building and Portillo's Restaurant. The approval was contingent upon final architecture of the elevations of the retail building returning before the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council for approval. GENERAL INFORMATION Petition Number: 37-12 Recommendation: APPROVE, subject to conditions outlined within this report (See Recommendation Detail) Applicant and Owner: Richport Holdings, LLC Staff Coordinators: Marc S. Mylott, Director of Community Development Sarosh Saher, Senior Planner History: After due notice as required by law, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and considered Petition 37-12 on October 1, 2012. The applicant submitted an application for planned development approval and testified at the public hearing. List of Exhibits: A. —Aerial/Location Map B. —Zoning Map C. —Parcel Map D. — Site Photos E. —Development Application and Plans F. —Transcripts G. —Draft Planned Development Ordinance BACKGROUND & PROJECT DETAIL • The Elgin Wal-Mart and Sam's Club shopping center was annexed and zoned in 2006. That approval included the establishment of a Wal-Mart store (opened October 2011), a Sam's Club store (opened October 2012), and other retail and commercial establishments on seven additional outlots. Exhibit A Findings of Fact Planning and Zoning Commission Petition: 37-12 October 1, 2012 • The subject property is Lot 10 (1010 South Randall Road) of the recorded subdivision, and is located along Bowes Road, between the Sam's Club and the corner lot, upon which Portillo's has received approval to construct a restaurant. The 16,000 square foot retail building proposed by Richport Holdings is designed to accommodate as many as eleven retail tenants, but tenant spaces can be combined to accommodate larger single users . The main entrances to the tenant spaces are located on the south elevation facing the parking lot. Because the building will be readily visible on all four sides, the applicant has provided for architectural detail, color and texture through the primary use of stone and concrete masonry, and ornamentation in the form of accent panels, horizontal banding and ornamental lighting features on all four elevations. The use of Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS) is restricted to the sign band only (9 percent of the total elevation area), and located away from high traffic, or high abuse areas, so as to protect the material from wear, tear and vandalism. In general, the building materials consist of a split-faced masonry unit foundation with a smooth-faced stone sill. The foundation takes the place of the bulkhead of the storefront windows on both the south and north elevations, but is augmented by a patterned concrete band on the side and rear (north) elevations for added interest. The body of the elevations is articulated into storefront treatments with the use of projecting piers separating storefronts on the front (south) elevations, and recessed bays on the rear elevation. A break in what would otherwise be a monotonous storefront pattern is provided through • the use of brick-patterned-and-colored concrete panels flanked by lightered colored concrete panels containing horizontal grooves. Signage is proposed on the brick-colored concrete panels on the front (south) elevation, as well as along the EIFS sign band located on the light colored concrete panels, the side elevations and along a large portion of the north (rear) elevation. Of particular note is the proposed treatment of the rear (north) elevation that faces Bowes Road. The applicant had initially proposed a simple rear elevation consisting only of alternating wall treatments located within the same plane and steel service doors. The elevation contained no windows (or the impression of windows) and otherwise presented a blank wall facing Bowes Road. The applicant was receptive to staff suggestions to significantly enhance the aesthetics of this highly visible elevation by adding storefront window treatments to soften the blank wall effect and coordinating the location of the signage with the delineation of the bays. These treatments create a more attractive elevation that will be visible to users of the retail center, passers-by, and residents of the subdivision to the north. The trash enclosures located on either end of the building will be constructed fully of masonry materials incorporating the principal building architectural elements, textures and colors to blend into the building elevations. Additionally, utility and mechanical units proposed to be located along the side and rear of the building will be grouped and, where allowed by the associated utility company, will be painted in a color to blend in with the color of the masonry in the background. • Page 2 of 5 i Findings of Fact Planning and Zoning Commission Petition: 37-12 October 1, 2012 • FINDINGS OF FACT The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the proposal with respect to its location, site design and landscape improvements on July 2, 2012 and found that it met the standards for Planned Development pursuant to Chapter 19.60 of the zoning ordinance. Regarding the design standards for new commercial buildings and building materials pursuant to Chapter 19.14 of the zoning ordinance entitled '`Architectural Review and Design," the Planning and Zoning Commission found that: A.

The primary facade of retail buildings shall be designed as retail storefronts including, but not limited to, features such as storefront windows, bulkheads and transom windows. On side • elevations that are readily visible from a public right of way, storefront windows shall be extended to the side elevations or parts thereof. Findings: The primary facade of the building is on the south elevation and comprises of individual storefronts leading to each of the eleven tenant spaces within the building. The storefronts are designed to contain storefront windows, bulkheads and transom windows. Additionally, due to its high visibility, the rear (north) elevation facing Bowes Road has also been designed with storefront treatments and a sign band similar in character to the front (south) elevation. 3. All sides of the building shall be properly landscaped with foundation plantings, landscaped islands within parking lots and perimeter landscaping around the lot. Landscaping shall comprise of trees and shrubs. Landscaping required to be used to screen the property from the neighboring properties should comprise of plant material that is designed to provide a continuous visual screen at maturity. Findings: The proposal for landscape design and plan material was reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Commission on July 2, 2012, and found to meet the required standard. 4. Windows and entryways shall be emphasized by utilizing awnings or other dominant architectural features. These features should be further highlighted through the use of masonry windowsills and lintels and alternate brick design such as soldier courses. • Findings: The standard does not pertain to the proposal for the retail building as there is no single entry to the building, or individual windows proposed on the building. Entry to the Page 3 of 5 Findings of Fact Planning and Zoning Commission Petition: 37-12 October 1, 2012 • building proposed is through the storefront features on the front elevation.

Exterior building materials for all commercial buildings (excluding roof materials, windows and signs) shall be limited to masonry materials of brick, natural stone or split face concrete masonry units on all exterior elevations. Other building materials may be used in exterior design • accent features such as cornices, soffits and fascia, window trim and hood molding, corner boards, sign bands, quoins and other ornamentation which comprise not more than twenty five percent (2501o) of an exterior elevation. Artificial building materials such as exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS, commonly referred to by its brand name "Dryvit') and architectural metal utilized for such design features shall not be used in high traffic, or high abuse areas, so as to protect such materials from wear and tear and vandalism Findings: The building is constructed primarily of masonry with use of EIFS restricted to the sign band only in an area amounting to approximately nine percent (9%) of the total elevation area.
