has developed with commercial land uses. The property to the northeast is zoned RC2
Residence Conservation and has developed with single family residences.
The areas to the east and west of the subject property are zoned NB Neighborhood Business

Findings of Fact Zoning and Subdivision Hearing Board
Petition 29-04 May 5, 2004
The establishment of a fire station in this zoning district is consistent with the purpose and
intent of the NB District in that the surrounding neighborhood population will obtain a higher
level of emergency service. Departures from the site design requirements of the zoning
ordinance are necessary for the site to be developed as proposed, due to the size constraints
inherent with this property.
H. Conditional Use for a Planned Development Standard. The suitability of the subject
property for the intended conditional use for a planned development with respect to
conformance to the provisions for the purpose and intent of planned developments.
No conditional use for a planned development should be granted for the sole purpose of
introducing a land use not otherwise permitted on the subject property. The purpose and
intent of the provisions for planned developments is to accommodate unique development
situations. For planned developments as a conditional use,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 this title.
2. The public benefit realized by the establishment of the planned development is
greater than if the property were to remain subject to the standard requirements of the
zoning district in which it is located.
3. Extraordinary conditions or limitations governing site design, function, operation,
and traffic are imposed on the planned development.
Findings: The subject property is suitable for the intended conditional use for a planned
development with respect to conformance to the purpose and intent of a conditional use for a
planned development.
The establishment of a municipal facility at this location is allowable as a conditional use.
The proposed fire station represents an opportunity for the city to better serve the residents of
the area and the entire city by providing quicker response times to emergency calls for
service. The building will be constructed of quality masonry building products which will
result in an attractive building at this location.
H. Comprehensive Plan Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the intended
zoning district with respect to conformance to the goals, objectives, and policies of the
official comprehensive plan.
Findings. The subject property is suitable for the intended zoning district with respect to the
Comprehensive Plan Standard.
flak The subject property is designated as a "Neighborhood Center" by the Official
Comprehensive Plan of Elgin (1983). This designation represents those areas of the city
designated as appropriate areas for businesses providing daily convenience goods and
services. The proposed fire station is appropriate for this designation.

I. Natural Preservation Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the intended
planned development with respect to the preservation of all significant natural features
including topography, watercourses,wetlands, and vegetation.
Findings. The subject property is suitable for the intended planned development with
respect to the Natural Preservation Standard.
There are no significant natural features located on the site.
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. The subject property is suitable for the intended planned development with
respect to the internal land use standard.
No evidence has been submitted or found that the proposed planned development will be
located,designed,or operated in a manner that will exercise undue detrimental influence on
itself or surrounding property.
The fire station will be constructed with quality building materials including a stone
foundation and a brick façade. The building will contain a sloped, shingled roof which will
blend in with the residential character of the neighborhood. The apparatus bays will be
oriented towards West Chicago Street, thereby limiting unnecessary traffic into the
surrounding residential neighborhood.

Members of the Zoning Board:
The information below outlines some of the key points in regard to the background
justification for Fire Station 6. The information touches on the historical perspective, the
station need information, and a projected project timeline. It should be noted that over
twenty different sites were considered and evaluated for Fire Station 6. This site
evaluation phase took extensive time and largely occurred during 2002-2003.
Historical Perspective
In 1997, Fire Chief John Henrici selected a team to research and evaluate all
emergency delivery systems within the organization. At that time, the City Of Elgin was
completing its' five (5) year "Capital Improvement Plan" (CIP) and its' Far West Area
Plan. The team was identified as the "Risk and Hazard Analysis Leadership Team".
ra, The first responsibility of this Project Leadership Team was to research and identify
potential models that could be used as an evaluation program. Various models were
examined that focused on specific areas such as suppression or EMS. The only model
that provided a comprehensive examination of the entire organization was the
Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI). This model is a
comprehensive system evaluation that is jointly sponsored and endorsed by the
International City Managers Association (ICMA) and the International Association
of Fire Chiefs (IAFC).
Station Need
An analysis of the Risk and Hazard report showed some areas of concern or
weakness in regards to emergency response time. The most significant area
that would not be addressed by additional resources in the western growth area
was an area titled "Area 77". This is located in the near, central west side and
accounts for nearly 20% of the Fire Department's emergency alarms. A
combination of the population, housing stock, and business use group cause this
area to be categorized as a high risk group in regards to fire and emergency
medical services (EMS). All three methods of data analysis confirmed this.
While multiple measurement standards were considered, Area 77 still maintained
a consistent and significantly higher response time for the first in suppression unit
for a full still alarm.

Computerized projections were then performed to study the impact that a fire station
would have if located in Area 77. The following objectives would be attained (based on
projections) with an Area 77 fire station:
1. The first due suppression unit would be on scene under five (5) minutes
approximately 86% of the time.
2. Response time in all five (5) current response districts will experience
improved response times.
3. The level of EMS service will improve.
4. The response time performance would improve to 100% of the maximum
hazard buildings within the city.
Project Timeline
The timeline for this project identifies the projected dates and significant events for the
construction of a new fire station at 707 West Chicago Street. The timeline is based on
available information to date.
