FINDINGS OF FACT
LAND USE COMMITTEE
PLANNING AND LAND USE CCMMIISSION
CITY OF ELGIN
I. SUBJECT
Consideration of Petition 48-84 Requesting Annexation, B-3 Service Business
District Zoning and a B-3 Special Use for a Church, property located at 1001
and 1015 Summit Street by the Lutheran Church of Our Savior, the Mission
Board of the English District of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, and
David S. Hemmer, M.D.
II. CONSIDERATIONS
A petition has been filed by the Lutheran Church of Our Savior and the district
with which it is affiliated, and Dr. David S. Hemmer that requests annexation,
B-3 Service Business District zoning and a B-3 special use for a church. The
subject property is located at 1001 and 1015 Summit Street.
The Lutheran Church of Our Savior is located at 1001 Summit Street and requests
that the special use for a church be granted upon annexation in recognition of
their existing facility. Dr. Hemmer has a contract to purchase the property
located at 1015 Summit Street from the church and proposes to construct a medical
office building.
III. FINDINGS AND RECCMENDATION
After due notice, as required by law, the Land Use Committee held a public hearing
on the proposed annexation, zoning and special use for a church on November 19,
1984. The petitioners appeared at the hearing and presented documentary evidence.
No objectors appeared and no written objection has been filed to the proposed
annexation, zoning and special use.
A majority of the Land Use Committee has made the following findings with
respect to the requested annexation, zoning, and special use:
A. Site Characteristics: The subject property is approximately 4.9 acres. The
westerly parcel is approximately 2.7 acres and is improved with church and
associated off-street parking. The easterly parcel is approximately 2.2
acres and is unimproved.
Elevations range from approximtely 786 feet in the northwest portion of the
subject property to 796 feet in the southeast portion for a maximum
relief of 10 feet.

Residence District.

FINDINGS AND RECOM4ENDATION (Cont'd)
C. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: The area located to the north of the sub-
ject property is zoned B-3 and is developed with a bank facility.
The area located to the west of the subject property is zoned R-2 and B-3,
and is developed with residences.
The areas located to the south and east of the subject property are zoned
R-2 and Cook County residential and are improved with residences.
D. Trend of Development: The trend of development in the area of the subject
property is towards commercial and office use. The most recent developments
have been the construction of True Value Plaza, and the rezoning of the
properties to the east of the subject property and fronting on Summit Street
to B-3.
E. Comprehensive Plan: The following is a summary of the relevant findings and
policies of the comprehensive plan:
fir•. 1. The manner in which the city expands and develops has a direct impact
on community affordability. A basic objective of the land use plan
is to establish a pattern of development along the periphery of the
city that is compatible, complementary and beneficial to the city
and its future growth requirements.
Accordingly, in order to effectuate efficient and orderly growth for
the community, it is a recommended policy that "growth through expan-
sion" should only be allowed on the basis that it is contiguous to
built-up areas of the city.
2. The land use proposals portrayed on the land use plan map represent
certain opportunities and objectives for the future development of
the city. The commercial land use category identifies existing and
some future commercial areas by function. The area in which the
subject property is located is identified as an "area center" on the
land use plan map. Area centers serve a section of the city, e.g.
a group of neighborhoods. These commercial areas are typically
located at the juncture of two or more transportation corridors or
as a commercial node along a corridor.
F. Additional Conditions: The Land Use Committee is of the opinion that
approval of Petition 48-84 should be subject to the following conditions:
A. General Conditions
1. Revisions to the annexation agreement per the Engineering
Division and the Legal Department.
2. The property located at 1001 Summit Street is to be limited

to two (2) points of access on Waverly Drive and no access
on Summit Street.
3. The property located at 1015 Summit Street is to be limited to
one (1) point of access on Summit Street.
B. Special Use Conditions
1. Compliance with the off-street parking ordinance.
2. Compliance with all other applicable codes and ordinances.
In summary, a majority of the committee has found that in view of the surrounding
land use and zoning, the trend of development in the area and conformance to
the comprehensive plan, the proposed annexation and zoning is not only suitable,
but represents an economic development opportunity for the city.
In that the church has been in existence for a number of years with no _
apparent detriment to neighboring properties or the public health, safety
and welfare in general, the committee recommends that the church be granted
a special use as required by the zoning ordinance.
Accordingly, on a motion to recommend approval of Petition 48-84, subject
to the additional conditions, the vote was five (5) yes and one (1) no.
Therefore, the Land Use Committee recommends the approval of Petition 48-84.lb-41/5
