NAYS: None. Motion carried
ABSENT: Trustee Flores
Trustee Mengoni read the following Executive Summary:
As part of the ongoing efforts to update existing development codes and ordinances, we are requesting a text amendment to Chapters 5 thru 8 of the current Zoning Ordinance in order to create a single list of all permitted and conditional-permitted uses within the Village.
Currently, permitted and conditional land uses are listed individually by zoning district within Chapters 6 thru 8 of current zoning ordinance. The significant majority of the land uses date back to when this ordinance was first enacted in 1990.
Staff is recommending a substantive change that should over time, be viewed as positive changes for the Village. This recommendation is as follows:
Protect the B2 and B3 Zoning Districts by limiting the amount of commercial (i.e., retail) tenant that can be converted to office use. Presently, the Mall is zoned B3 and within that district general office and medical office type uses are permitted by right. Over time, significant areas of the Mall tenant space could be converted from retail to non-sales tax generating office use without the benefit of any involvement or approval by the Village Board. Accordingly, Staff is recommending that for any multi-tenant building, the total amount of gross floor area that could be devoted to any office use (i.e., professional or medical office) would be 15 percent of the total gross floor area of all buildings on the property. Anyone seeking relief to this provision could seek the approval of either a variation or incorporate the change as part of a formal planned development application.
A public hearing is planned for Thursday, October 15th at 6pm to review and discuss these recommendations.
Trustee Mengoni moved and Trustee Sarro seconded to refer the proposed text amendment to Chapters 5-8 of the North Riverside Zoning Ordinance involving permitted and conditional permitted uses to the Joint Plan Commission/ZBA for public hearing, review and recommendation. Roll Call Vote:
AYES: Trustees Czajka, Demopoulos, Mandel, Mengoni, Sarro
NAYS: None. Motion carried
ABSENT: Trustee Flores
Trustee Mengoni read the following Executive Summary:
As part of the Staff’s ongoing efforts to update the Village’s zoning ordinance, we are recommending a text amendment to Chapter 12, titled Administration & Enforcement. The key element of this updated amendment is to reflect the recent changes approved that consolidated the Plan Commission and the Zoning Board of Appeals into a single 7 member Joint PC/ZBA with dual responsibilities and purposes.
A public hearing is planned for Thursday, October 15th at 6pm to review and discuss these recommended changes.
Trustee Mengoni moved and Trustee Mandel seconded to refer the proposed text amendment to Chapter 12 of the North Riverside Zoning Ordinance titled Administration & Enforcement to the Joint Plan Commission/ZBA for public hearing, review and recommendation.
Roll Call Vote:
AYES: Trustees Czajka, Demopoulos, Mandel, Mengoni, Sarro
NAYS: None. Motion carried
ABSENT: Trustee Flores
Trustee Mengoni also called for a Development Committee Meeting on Monday October 12th at 6pm.
