Let's discuss this. Note that this is not a setback that will be landscaped, but a setback within the building. The setback area will be building space.

Well, that could've been much clearer. Any facade walls over 18 feet in height...

LeslieO Apr 6 2026 at 5:38PM on page 25

Yes, I added 0 feet, but minimum 5 ft abutting other districts.

Let's discuss the need for lot coverage here and the amount of landscape area to require.

JoeNapolitano Mar 30 2026 at 12:49PM on page 141

Need to use phrase Building & Planning Director in all places.

JoeNapolitano Mar 30 2026 at 12:47PM on page 138

Truck stop was added as a definition several years back in an attempt to stop any gas station that met the Illinois gaming restrictions from adding gaming machines. Current mayor seems less inclined to keep such restrictions in place.

JoeNapolitano Mar 30 2026 at 12:39PM on page 137

If we remove this overlay district, this definition is no longer needed.

JoeNapolitano Mar 30 2026 at 12:37PM on page 131

There are some uses that the Council does not want in the downtown core area, such as smoke shop/vape shop, cannabis businesses.

JoeNapolitano Mar 27 2026 at 5:53PM on page 126

Let's delete, don't want to allow this.

JoeNapolitano Mar 27 2026 at 4:14PM on page 124

Move to Measurements Section?

JoeNapolitano Mar 27 2026 at 4:11PM on page 119

May be able to delete as our last grain elevator was demolished about 5 years ago.

JoeNapolitano Mar 27 2026 at 4:09PM on page 117

May want to break out check cashing facilities and only allow in certain districts.

JoeNapolitano Mar 27 2026 at 4:05PM on page 112

duplicate, found on previous page

"...to the site to accommodate the temporary use..."

JoeNapolitano Mar 27 2026 at 1:38PM on page 90

All must be paved, no alternative surfaces.

JoeNapolitano Mar 27 2026 at 1:38PM on page 90

Don't we address screening of refuse containers somewhere else? Should read, "All items within an outdoor storage, display or sales area shall be secured so as not to become windblown."

JoeNapolitano Mar 27 2026 at 1:34PM on page 90

This should be in a prominent location, possibly in the general standards for non-residential districts. Not sure why we had it located here.

JoeNapolitano Mar 27 2026 at 1:27PM on page 88

Open to discussion

JoeNapolitano Mar 27 2026 at 1:26PM on page 120

I would like to check these acts to see if they are still valid.

JoeNapolitano Mar 27 2026 at 1:22PM on page 87

B and C seem to contradict A, which says the "facility" can only be in the rear yard or attached to the rear of the building. How can they be fully screened from view of the front of the street by the principal building when most banks, fast food and pharmacy have pick-up or transaction windows in the side yard? Possibly delete?

JoeNapolitano Mar 27 2026 at 12:56PM on page 86

or a Mobile Food Truck, in accordance with Title 3, Chapter 6 of the Municipal Code.
We changed the licensing requirements for food trucks so the language above will accommodate those changes.

SiteAdmin Mar 26 2026 at 12:53PM on page 70

No

SiteAdmin Mar 26 2026 at 12:52PM on page 69

Add accessory outdoor seating, consider accessory outdoor music/entertainment

SiteAdmin Mar 26 2026 at 12:46PM on page 63

Need to address live music/event space

maybe 40 ft with alleys, 50 without?

SiteAdmin Mar 26 2026 at 12:23PM on page 7

Add language and discuss with WG/PC/TC
in reply to JoeNapolitano's comment

SiteAdmin Mar 26 2026 at 12:14PM on page 6

Rely on illustrations - add a purpose sentence

JoeNapolitano Mar 26 2026 at 12:00PM on page 63

I think so. They have more of an undesirable connotation and locations should be limited by zoning.

JoeNapolitano Mar 26 2026 at 11:58AM on page 63

Recreation and entertainment?

JoeNapolitano Mar 26 2026 at 11:56AM on page 63

Not opposed.

JoeNapolitano Mar 26 2026 at 11:53AM on page 62

I think that because of the City's liquor license requirements, they should be separate.

JoeNapolitano Mar 26 2026 at 11:51AM on page 61

Maybe add a not to exceed square footage. Larger facilities for larger animals should be located in unincorporated areas.

JoeNapolitano Mar 26 2026 at 11:50AM on page 58

Will do.

SiteAdmin Mar 25 2026 at 11:59AM on page 68

Disregard - current Chapter 7D will be pulled in to Public Draft

JoeNapolitano Mar 25 2026 at 10:50AM on page 44

12' might be too much.

JoeNapolitano Mar 25 2026 at 10:37AM on page 32

Heights? of what?

JoeNapolitano Mar 25 2026 at 10:33AM on page 25

Should there be a maximum lot coverage here?

JoeNapolitano Mar 24 2026 at 4:23PM on page 25

Missing number?

JoeNapolitano Mar 24 2026 at 4:18PM on page 22

Currently 25'

JoeNapolitano Mar 24 2026 at 4:16PM on page 22

Enough area to provide landscaping/screening?

JoeNapolitano Mar 24 2026 at 4:04PM on page 20

I'm not understanding this requirement.

JoeNapolitano Mar 24 2026 at 3:45PM on page 15

Would the courtyards be a public street, maintained by the City or an HOA?

JoeNapolitano Mar 24 2026 at 3:42PM on page 15

What about the homes facing the primary street? Do they each get a driveway from the primary street? If yes, need to show on illustration.

JoeNapolitano Mar 24 2026 at 10:44AM on page 11

40 foot minimum sounds low. Let's discuss.

JoeNapolitano Mar 24 2026 at 10:40AM on page 9

I like the idea and this would address my previous comment about reducing the overall front setback by 5 feet,

JoeNapolitano Mar 20 2026 at 12:09PM on page 9

Discuss
I am hesitant to reduce front setback as it reduces the driveway area available for parking. We currently have many areas where vehicles are parked over the sidewalk, or they try to fit a car on the apron. Let's discuss further
