BACKGROUND
The proposed development is located within the commercially zoned portion of West Point
Gardens Subdivision. The applicant proposes to develop the southwest 5 acres of the commercial
piece with a nursing and personal care facility. The building, its associated vehicle use areas and
stormwater facilities are proposed to be located at the southerly and central portions of the
property thereby providing the remaining vacant commercial property with necessary frontage
along Rt 20 when it is developed with commercial uses in the future.
The proposed building will comprise of a single-story central and east wing, and a two-story
west wing. The building elevations will be clad primarily in brick and stone veneer with accents
provided in the form of fiberglass reinforced asphalt shingles within the roof gable, and
horizontal banding to separate the brick and stone or the two shades of brick on the elevation.
Additional architectural features in the form of porches, balconies, and dormer windows are
proposed to add interest to the elevations. The main entrance of the building faces north and is
surmounted by a two story shelter constructed with exposed timber framing supported on stone
masonry columns.
The site is proposed to be landscaped with evergreen, deciduous and ornamental trees, and
evergreen and deciduous shrubs to provide for year-round landscape material and screening.
Additionally perennials and ornamental grasses are proposed to be installed as foundation
plantings around the building and within vehicle use area landscape islands and berms.
The stormwater detention facility is proposed in a centrally located area on the property and is
designed to address the change in the elevation of the site with retaining walls. The area around
the retaining walls will be regraded with berms to conceal the walls from the surrounding
property.
The applicant proposes to complete the construction of Shannon Parkway to provide the subject
property and the surrounding residential properties with access to U.S. Highway 20. Shannon
Parkway will be completed with a central parkway containing street trees and required lighting.
An amendment to the Annexation Agreement for West Point Gardens Subdivision and an
amendment to PAB Planned Area Business District Ordinance No. G09-05 will be required to
provide for the proposed land use and development plan.
The applicants are also requesting the construction of an off-premise graphic to be located on the
southeast corner of U.S. Highway 20 and Shannon Parkway. The 8'x10' monument graphic is
proposed to advertise the presence of the nursing and personal care facility along U.S. Highway
20 and constitutes an off-premise graphic. Off-premise graphics are prohibited by the city's

zoning ordinance. The applicant is therefore requesting an amendment to the text of Chapter
19.50 entitled "Street Graphics to be allowed to construct the off-premise graphic.
No additional commercial development is proposed on the commercially zoned property at this
time.
FINDINGS ON THE STANDARDS FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS
After due notice, as required by law, the Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing
in consideration of Petition 35-12 on April 1, 2013. The applicant testified at the public hearing
and presented documentary evidence in support of the application. The Community
Development Department submitted a Planned Development Review, dated April 1, 2013.
A. Site Characteristics Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the proposed
planned development, with respect to its size, shape and any existing improvements.
Findings: The subject property under consideration is a regularly shaped parcel
containing a total of approximately 19.14 acres of land. The portion of land proposed to
be developed with the nursing and personal care facility is 5 acres and is located at the
southwest corner of the zoning lot.
Elevations on the site range from a high point of 907 feet at the southeast corner of the
site to a low point of 893 feet within the north central portion of the site fronting U.S.
Highway 20, for a maximum relief of 14 feet.
A one-story frame residence and associated accessory structures occupy the central
portion of the site. The remainder of the property is undeveloped. There are 23 trees
identified on the site, of which six of a larger caliper are located on the portion of the
property proposed to be developed with the nursing and personal care facility.
B. Sewer and Water Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the proposed
planned development with respect to the availability of adequate water, sanitary
treatment, and stormwater control facilities.
Findings: The applicant intends to connect to municipal sanitary sewer and water mains
that are currently present and adjacent to the subject property. Stormwater control will be
provided on site and in compliance with the Kane County storm water management
requirements.
C. Traffic and Parking Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the proposed
planned development with respect to the provision of safe and efficient on site and off site
vehicular circulation designed to minimize traffic congestion.
Findings: The subject property has frontage along U.S. Highway 20, an arterial street
serving Elgin and the communities located to the east and west of Elgin. The subject
property also has frontage along Daisy Lane and Shannon Parkway, which are local
- 3 -
Findings of Fact Planning& Zoning Commission
Petition 35-12 April 1, 2013
streets that serve the commercial and residential portions of West Point Gardens
Subdivision.
Access to the nursing and personal care facility will be provided via a private drive
connecting Shannon Parkway to the central portion of the commercial piece. Parking will
be provided in conformance with the Off Street Parking Ordinance.
D. Zoning History Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the proposed
planned development with respect to the length of time the property has remained
undeveloped or unused in its current zoning district.
Findings: The property was annexed to the city in 2005 as part of the Meier Property
annexation in 2005. The property was zoned PAB Planned Area Business District and is
subject to the requirements of Ordinance G09-05.
E. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning Standard. The suitability of the subject property
for the proposed planned development with respect to consistency and compatibility with
surrounding land use and zoning.
Findings: The area north of the subject property is zoned PCF Planned Community
Facility District and is developed with Westridge Community Church. The area to the
northwest is zoned PSFR2 Planned Single Family Residence District and is developed
with single family homes within Sandy Creek Estates Subdivision. The area to the
northeast is zoned PAB Planned Area Business District, is part of Trinity Chase
Subdivision and is currently vacant.
The area to the west is zoned PAB Planned Area Business District and is improved with
residences that were originally developed in the county.
The area immediately to the east is unincorporated land, zoned for farming in the county
and is currently vacant. The areas farther to the east across Nesler Road are zoned PAB
Planned Area Business District and PCF Planned Community Facility District and are
developed with commercial uses and a church respectively.
The areas to the south and southwest are zoned PMFR Planned Multiple Family
Residence District and PSFR2 Planned Single Family Residence District respectively and
are developing with the residences of West Point Gardens Subdivision.
F. Trend of Development Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the
proposed planned development with respect to its consistency with an existing pattern of

Findings of Fact Planning& Zoning Commission
Petition 35-12 April 1, 2013
G. Zoning Districts Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the proposed
planned development with respect to conformance to the provisions for the purpose and
intent, and the location and size of a zoning district.
The applicant is requesting an amendment to the PAB Planned Area Business District
ordinance that was established in 2005. The purpose and intent of the provisions 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 the zoning ordinance.
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.
Planned districts should be located in substantial conformance with the official
comprehensive plan. The amount of land necessary to constitute a separate planned
residential district exclusive of rights 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 requested
minimum size of a planned district shall be granted by City Council.
Findings: The proposed development is consistent with the location, design and
operational requirements for planned developments.
H. Comprehensive Plan Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the proposed
planned development with respect to conformance to the goals, objectives, and policies of
the official comprehensive plan.
Findings: The subject property is designated as "Community Mixed-Use Center" by the
2005 Comprehensive Plan & Design Guidelines. Community Mixed-Use Centers
provide focus, identity, and convenient goods and services, as well as some employment,
for a number of surrounding neighborhoods in a larger trade area. The ideal community
mixed-use center should be between 30-100 acres of commercial, office, entertainment,
medium density residential, and institutional uses accessed by arterial streets and transit
service. The center would have parcels and buildings scaled to pedestrians, small enough
to encourage parking once and walking to more than one destination. Off-street parking is
shared and on-street parking helps to contribute to the intimate scale of well-functioning
pedestrian environments. Parking located between and behind buildings permits people to
walk more safely and comfortably between uses that front sidewalks rather than large
parking lots. Seating and shade along pedestrian routes promotes walking and informal
gathering.

Findings of Fact Planning& Zoning Commission
Petition 35-12 April 1, 2013
I. Natural Preservation Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the proposed
planned development with respect to the preservation of all significant natural features
including topography, watercourses, wetlands, and vegetation.
Findings: Chapter 19.16.050 of the city's Tree Preservation Ordinance provides
standards for the replacement of trees in the event of their removal. The replacement of
trees is based on the condition rating and species group (listed below) as identified by a
certified arborist.
There are 23 trees identified on the entire site and rated as follows:
1. 10 trees are rated 2 and are proposed to be preserved.
2. 13 trees are rated 4—fair to poor condition.
3. Six trees are located on the subject property and are proposed to be removed to
allow for the proposed development.
a. Three are Ash trees—recommended for removal
b. Two are Silver Maple and one Pine.
In exchange for the removal of these six trees, the applicant proposes to add
approximately 155 evergreen, deciduous and ornamental trees as part of the
development, and per the replacement requirements of the tree preservation
ordinance.
The remaining 17 trees that are not part of the currently proposed development will
remain on the vacant portion of the property. There are no additional significant natural
features on the site that are worthy of preservation.
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: No evidence has been found that the requested planned development will be
located, designed, and operated in a manner that will exercise undue detrimental
influence on itself or surrounding property. The annexation agreement and planned
district ordinances are intended to prevent or mitigate undue detrimental influence on the
proposed internal land uses and surrounding properties.
ADDITIONAL REQUEST—AREA OF SPECIAL CHARACTER
The applicant has submitted a petition which would place the subject property within an"Area of
Special Character" for the sole purpose of placing a street graphic off the premises. The
monument graphic, proposed at the southwest corner of Route 20 and Shannon Parkway, would
contain the name and logo of Elgin Memory Care. As defined by the zoning ordinance, such a
graphic is nothing more than an off-premise graphic or a billboard. Staff sees no merit to this
graphic, and the approval of such a graphic suggests that the city would consider circumstances
under which billboards are appropriate. It is imperative that, as it relates to off-premise graphics
or billboards, the integrity of the city's street graphic ordinance not be compromised lest the
- 6 -
Findings of Fact Planning& Zoning Commission
Petition 35-12 April 1, 2013
ordinance be subject to attack by those entities wishing to place billboards throughout the
community. As such, staff strongly recommends that this portion of the petition be denied.
STANDARDS FOR DESIGNATING AREAS OF SPECIAL CHARACTER
The purpose and intent of Areas of Special Character is to address the unique and particular
character of an area and the unique existing or proposed use that may present a circumstance that
the street graphics ordinance cannot adequately regulate. The city council, by ordinance,
authorized by a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of all members of the city council then holding office,
and following notice and hearing, may therefore designate specific locations within the city as
areas of special character in order to provide appropriate flexibility in the regulation of street
graphics through the adoption of special regulations for these areas that can vary from any of the
regulations contained within the street graphics ordinance.
The findings of the Planning & Zoning Commission regarding the request to allow for the
construction of an off-premise graphic through the inclusion of the property within an area of
special character as follows:
1. Area Characteristics: The unique and particular character of the area proposed to be
designated as an area of special character establishes that the street graphics ordinance
cannot adequately regulate street graphics for such area. Such unique and particular
characteristics of the area proposed to be designated as an area of special character
include the area's location, size, shape, significant natural features, including
topography, watercourses and vegetation, the nature of adjoining public rights of way,
and architectural, historic or scenic features.
Findings: The subject property does not exhibit any physical characteristics of location,
size, shape, significant natural features including topography, watercourses and
vegetation that are unique or particular from those of the adjacent and neighboring
commercial properties. The property is a regularly shaped parcel, 19.14 acres in area, and
does not possess any significant natural, architectural, or scenic features. The adjoining
public right of way is U.S. Highway 20 which is a regional arterial serving a number of
commercial properties that possess similar characteristics to the subject property, the
most similar being the properties located to the east of Nesler Road and within a quarter
mile of the subject property.
2. Use Characteristics: The existing or proposed use of the area proposed to be designated
as an area of special character presents specified unique challenges and demands such
that the street graphics ordinance cannot adequately regulate street graphics for such
use in such area.
Findings: The proposed use of the subject property as a nursing and personal care facility
containing approximately 80 dwelling units does not merit the same exposure and
presence along an arterial as do retail commercial uses. Retail commercial uses depend
upon the visibility and exposure that their graphics can provide to attract the "impulse"
customer. The nursing and personal care facility, on the other hand, is proposed to be
- 7 -
Findings of Fact Planning& Zoning Commission
Petition 35-12 April 1, 2013
used as a destination land use with "planned" visits, deliveries, and services. The facility
is eligible for a monument graphic, wall graphics and directional graphics as allowed by
the city's zoning ordinance to be installed on the lot on which the facility is located.
3. Special Regulations: The proposed special regulations for the proposed area of special
character are consistent with the unique character and unique use of the area of special
character and departures from the street graphics ordinance, if any, are specifically
limited to address the unique and particular area characteristics and use characteristics
of the proposed area of special character.
Findings: The applicant is not proposing any special regulations for graphics at this time.
The design and operation of the monument graphic as proposed by the applicant are
consistent with the current provisions of the zoning ordinance. The applicant is
requesting the creation of an area of special character with the sole purpose of gaining the
ability to locate the sign on a lot not owned or controlled by the owner, thereby making it
an off-premise sign. Off-premise signs are prohibited by the zoning ordinance.
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 Ordinance and Subdivision
Ordinance. West Point Gardens Subdivision was approved in 2005, with a number of departures
from the standard requirements of the zoning and subdivision regulations.
The applicant is requesting the following additional departure from the standard requirements of
the regulations contained within Ordinance Number G09-05 entitled "An Ordinance Classifying
Newly Annexed Territory in the PAB Planned Area Business District (Meier Property — 100
Nesler Road)." For the purposes of this section, the most similar zoning district is the AB Area
Business District. The applicant is requesting the following departure from the standard
requirements of the AB Area Business District:
• Section 19.35.430: Land Use. The zoning ordinance does not provide for a nursing and
personal care facility within the AB District. The applicant is proposing a nursing and
personal care facility specializing in assisted living and memory care for the elderly.
• Section 19.45.080: Required Parking: Based on the number of beds (80) and the
maximum total projected number of employees at the facility at 92 during year five of
operation of the facility, the zoning ordinance requires that a total number of 132 parking
spaces be provided at the facility. The applicant is currently proposing 71 parking spaces
on the property thereby requesting a 85% departure from the requirements of the zoning
ordinance.
