Encourage Development of Downtown Residential Rental Units
While the Fountain Square development did not turn out as originally intended(most newly initiated condominium projects
initiated during the Great Recession were not fully successful),the project's current success as an apartment building and
its strong and sustained market rental rates are very positive indications for the rental-TOD market in Downtown Elgin.
Aggressive initiatives should be pursued to find successful developers who may be interested in Downtown sites for new
construction as well as experienced rehab developers for upper story spaces.
Priority,Timeframe.and Responsible Parties
Priority: High Priority
Timeframe: Short-Term
Responsible Parties: City of Elgin Officials and Staff,Property Owners
Action Steps:
Developer interest in residential rental development has increased throughout the Chicago area during the last three(3)years.
Downtown Elgin has several advantages in supporting new rental development,including available sites,an apparent market
for additional units,and previously approved developments that could include a rental component.
• Review and identify potential housing opportunities,including approved development proposals with housing
components and potential options for upper story housing in Downtown's existing buildings.
• Meet with identified developers to discuss market opportunities,given their research and recent housing-related
experience.
• Meet with owners of existing buildings to discuss additional upper story housing redevelopment options.
• Prioritize available Downtown sites for residential development.If privately owned,meet with ownership to
determine their plans for their site,and formulate strategies in tandem with owners to enable future projects.

City may prepare in the following way:
• Review and revise list of previously identified development projects.
• Ensure that a sufficient number of qualified private parties are involved in order to create a competitive process.
• Project goals should ensure the public receives a certain value for its own investment while private parties can also
expect a reasonable and fair return as well.
• Distribute risks equally among the partners best suited to assume each risk.
• Perform due diligence in the project procurement and create an environment that is both fair and completely
transparent.
• Create an ongoing and transparent communications plan to keep information regarding each project readily

Table A-1 I Questions by Category
Overview
The community survey was the largest and most
concentrated effort to measure public opinion about
the direction of development near the Chicago Street
Station area.For this task,the consultant team developed
21 questions about the study area,ranging from land use
desires and infrastructure improvements to demographic
information and daily commute patterns.The format of
the questions also ranged from multiple-choice to ordinal
ranking,and included one write-in answer.
The development of the survey instrument was a
collaborative process that involved incorporating feedback
from the City of Elgin and the transit agencies RTA,Metra,
and Pace.The final product was an electronic survey hosted
through the SurveyGizmo.com website and accessed
through the project website developed by Land Vision.
Survey respondents could take the survey by typing in the
URL for the project website into a browser,scanning a QR
code with their smart phone or tablet,visiting the City of
Elgin and DNA websites,or by accessing one of three iPad
survey kiosk locations that were setup near the study area.
The survey went live on July 9 and was closed on Monday,
August 27,2012. iPad kiosks were stationed for most ofJuly

` � ` considered as potential recommendations for key sites near
the Chicago Street Metra Station.
A majority of respondents stated that they would frequent a
boutique/small-scale grocery store as well as a coffee shop
with free Wi-Fi Internet at least 1-2 times per month,with
more than one quarter stating they'd shop at a grocery store
every week or more.
While respondents indicated overall that they would rarely
use a dry cleaning service and almost never have need for
day care service,a large number suggested they would have
need for auto service/repair 1-2 times per year(42%total
compared to 46%who marked"never").This may suggest
that Metra and/or Pace services are the primary alternative
means of transportation for those who are stuck with their
vehicle in the shop.

Question#6 was asked to find out both how many survey
respondents use Metra and/or Pace and the purpose of their
trip(s).Ofthe 145 people who answered this question,there
were 457 selections made for Metra and 49 for Pace.
Since 138 out of 145 possible respondents take Metra for Table A-7 I Question#6 Results

purpose for Metra service to/from the Chicago Street ` .`' 3
Metra Station.This stands in contrast to the 86%of all Metra ,; �
riders who use Metra to commute to work(according
to the 2011 RTA Customer Satisfaction Survey. Most
likely,the reason for the difference between surveys is that
respondents of this survey were likely occasional riders
versus daily Metra commuters.
The next highest purpose is work,followed closely by home
(these two are often the same trip for commuters).Shopping
and"other"are also frequent responses for Metra riders,
although few take Metra for school or medical purposes.
Pace riders were most likely to ride the bus for travel to
shopping,or home;however,given the very small number
of respondents who use Pace,the data is insufficient to reach
definite conclusions.

Question 13 provides an opportunity for members of the _ : (,' , 4
community to rank order their preferences for each of the �
seven transportation improvements under consideration.
Since many respondents did not answer this question
completely(many ranked fewer than seven improvements),
the averages were determined by adding up ranks for each
improvement and dividing by the total responses for that
item.This method assures that improvements which had
fewer responses are not under-represented in the overall
order of priority
Respondents were most interested in increasing the parking
capacity at the Chicago Street Metra Station,followed
closely by improving traffic signal coordination with railroad
crossings at Highland Avenue and Chicago Street.
Respondents thought the following improvements to
be nearly equally important:improved coordination
between Metra and Pace schedules,improved pedestrian
connections between Pace and the Chicago Street Metra
Station,printing route hours and simple maps on Pace bus
signs,and installing bus shelters along Pace routes with
additional route and system information.Constructing a

As a means of gaging parking usage in the study area,
...•' � Question#15 asked respondents about their perception of
parking capacity at five locations.
Almost two-thirds(66%)rated conditions at the Chicago
Street Metra Station as overcrowded.Crowded conditions
are also present for street parking near Elgin Tower and
along Douglas Avenue between Chicago and Prairie;
however,these two areas are more frequently characterized
by`somewhat full"conditions.
At two locations respondents indicated there is"always
a space"more often than at any other locations:Centre
parking structure and municipal lot at Highland/Douglas.
However,both of these locations had slightly higher
numbers of responses where"somewhat full"was selected.
Question#16
The final question in the set of the three relating to
infrastructure priorities asked survey respondents to rank
streetscape improvements.
Table A-16 Question#16 Results
Repaving sidewalks and restriping crosswalks along major
k q streets had the overall highest rank,with the installation of
new street lighting along major streets west of the Fox River
close behind.
The remaining three options,all of which focus more
on cosmetic,aesthetic,and information upgrades,
- ranked similarly at about one point below the top two
improvements.
Question#17
This was the last question dealing with study area-specific
characteristics or qualities.It concerns the types of open
space activities that most interest the public.Understanding
public preferences towards these activities can be helpful
in determining physical improvements to parks and open
spaces.
Respondents were most likely to attend farmer's markets and
least likely to attend open-air movie showings.For the rest of
the activities,most indicated that they were either very likely

Table A-20 I Question#21 Results Question#21
Perhaps most surprising about the demographic
jt` characteristics of the survey respondents was household
income.The results indicate an unusually high proportion
of those making more than$100,000 per year,which is well
above the national average for both one-person and two
person households. These results are also very different
from the household incomes identified in this study's
Existing Conditions Report,which suggests much lower
median incomes for those living in the study area.
Approximate median household income for the City of
More than 5100 000 I ' I Elgin is$52,605,which is lower than Kane County's median
S80.000-599.000 household income of$66,604. Elgin's figure is actually
I I more similar to the state of Illinois as a whole,whose median
560.000-579.000
household income is$53,966. Compared to the majority
540.000-S59 000
of survey participants,21%of households in Elgin have an
530.000 539.000
annual income greater than$100,000. This percentage is in
520.000-529000

Less than 019.000 County's 30%of households with an in income of$100,000
0 10 20 30 40 50 60
or higher.
This difference may be attributable to the nature of the
survey delivery system,which is electronically based and
can be taken by anyone with internet access,regardless of
whether they live in Downtown Elgin or not.
Most likely,a much higher number ofpeople taking
the survey live outside of the study area.However,this
information may be an indication that the survey was
successful in not only representing those who live in the
study area,but also those who work and/or spend a
significant amount of their time in or passing through the
Chicago Street Metra Station area.
This data also suggests that there are many people who
are more likely to have disposable income that also have
an interest in the study area.Land use recommendations
should take this into consideration when determining what
types of commercial development to attract.

The purpose of the Concept Preference Survey is to help focus planning and design issues and define the most appropriate
and inappropriate typologies and elements for the Downtown's future.As the Concept Preference Survey results were
presented to the public,they facilitated discussion of critical development and design issues in the study area.This process
ensures that the final plan contains recommendations,guidelines,and regulations that portray a shared vision of the
Downtown.
Concept Preference Survey image slides were organized into seven categories:Mixed-Use/Multi-Use,Commercial/Retail,
Multi-Family Residential,Identity/Wayfinding Signage,Business Signage,Parking,and Open Space.
Respondents were given five rating options for each image;(1)Strongly Negative;(2)Negative;(3)Neutral;(4)Positive;
and,(5)Strongly Positive.Images with average scores higher than 3.5 are considered to be overall positive,while images with
average scores lower than 2.5 are considered to be overall negative. Image ratings are located at the bottom left corner of each
image.
City of Elgin CHICAGO STREET STATION AREA PLAN 101
Multi-Use/Mixed-Use
The most highly regarded images typically show attractive
multi-use structures fronting attractive streetscapes and
in one case forming an enclosure around an intimate and
_ landscaped public green. To be further explained in the
Design Guidelines later in this document,the images
displayed in this category are representative of good
planning and urban design principles in which buildings
form continuous and well-defined streets.
.-- Multi-use/Mixed-use structures rated highest were
typically shown at 2-4 stories. In these images retail space
is typically located along the ground level in order to
activate the pedestrian realm along the street/public space.
Residential or office uses are placed above with special
:�� I attention made to locate the more"public"uses of each space
along the street to ensure the visual connection between
people inside the buildings with the environment below.
Small details such as this help promote safer and more
"mss pleasant environments by allowing for more"eyes on the
1° street".
' `' Building facades feature projecting windows and balconies
— which are integrated into massing articulations that generate
a high degree of architectural interest. This articulation in
a each facade allows for the creation of small"people"spaces
along public streetscapes which generally serve as prime
I I locations for outdoor dining and other gathering space for
pedestrians to interact. High quality materials and details
combined with an elevated degree of craftsmanship result
in structures that provide architectural interest to both
� pedestrians leisurely passing by as well as vehicles traveling at
a higher rate of speed.
Although each of the images is very different in architectural
• 'I" style,the relationship between the building and the
surrounding environment is very similar in each case. These
3 images all depict attractive street environments,highlighted
• .. 1 11111 t 1 I by on-street parking and pedestrian-oriented sidewalks

downtowns.

, I The images ranked in the top four in the Open Space
; Li category display a particular type of open space that is
- currently at a premium in places such as Downtown Elgin.
. z _ -j_ However,those places which have implemented similar
spaces are consistently ranked very favorable and are highly
regarded as great Downtowns. These small urban parks and
public squares represent exciting examples to be woven into
the community fabric of Downtown Elgin. Each space may
be designed to incorporate specific amenities in order to
allow for it to develop a special identity and local source of
-
- pride for the immediate businesses and residents.
vir Elgin has incorporated larger parks along the riverfront
in order to provide residents and visitors with options for
both passive and active recreation opportunities. There is,
however,opportunity to incorporate smaller scale plazas
and greens within Downtown in order to accommodate
those who prefer alternative types of open space. These
spaces may be located along special corners or within gaps
in development and each represents an opportunity to
introduce recreational and leisure uses into the urban fabric
of Downtown Elgin.
