PLANNING AND LAND USE COMMISSION
CITY OF ELGIN
I . SUBJECT
Consideration of Petition 60-86 Requesting Annexation and M-2
General Manufacturing District Zoning, property located north
of River Ridge Road by W.R. Meadows, Inc. , as Applicant and
Owner.
II . CONSIDERATIONS
A petition has been filed by Attorney Richard L . Heimberg on
behalf of W. R. Meadows , Inc. requesting annexation and M-2
General Manufacturing District zoning. The subject property is
located north of River Ridge Road and the Fox River Plaza
shopping center.
The petitioner desires to annex the subject property to the
City of Elgin and develop it in accordance with the M-2 zoning
classification.
FINDINGS
After due notice, as required by law, the Land Use Committee
held a public hearing on the proposed annexation and zoning on
September 2, 1986. The petitioner testified at the hearing and
presented documentary evidence. No objectors appeared at the
hearing and no written objection has been filed to the proposed
annexation and zoning.
The Land Use Committee has made the following findings with
respect to Petition 60-86:
A. Site Characteristics : The subject property contains
approximately 33, 540 square feet (0. 77_ acres) . The
property is improved with a masonry building, formerly used
as an airport hanger and storage building.
B . Zoning History : The subject property is located within
unincorporated Kane County . The property is zoned County
B-1 Business District.
C. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: The areas located to the
immediate north and west of the subject property are
located in unincorporated Kane County. These areas are
Exhibit A
-page 1-
improved with various business uses, including a motel and
a site used for the overnight parking of campers.
The former Winmiller Restaurant, located further to the
west and adjacent to Illinois State Route 31 , was recently
annexed to the city and is zoned B-3.
The areas located to the south and east of the subject
property were annexed and zoned B-3 and M-2 as part of the
Elgin-O'Hare Business Center. The area is being developed
with a shopping center (Fox River Plaza) and an industrial
park (Fox River Business Center) .
D. Trend of Development: The Northwest Tollway/Illinois State
Route 31 interchange has provided adjacent properties with
a high level of regional accessibility and visibility.
This has resulted in the development of commercial , office,
research and manufacturing areas straddling the tollway.
E . Traffic and Parking: The subject property fronts on River
Ridge Road. River Ridge Road will function as a minor
arterial street upon completion of the Fox River Business
Center. The street will serve the industrial park and
possibly future development to the north and east.
Access to the commercial center and industrial park is
limited to two points, one being the intersection of
Airport Road with Illinois State Route 31 and the second
being Airport Road via West River Road. Due to the size of
the development and its limited access, the street system
is being designed to carry large volumes of traffic . Upon
completion, River Ridge Road will have a design capacity of
approximately 20,000 vehicles per day. There are no
current traffic counts available.
The petitioner desires to develop the subject property in
accordance with the requirements of the M-2 district . No
development plans have been submitted for review.
Accordingly, traffic generated by the proposed development
and the number of required off-street parking spaces cannot
be calculated.
