Alderman Banas moved, and Alderman Swiatek seconded a motion to approve
the minutes. Voting Aye: Aldermen Banas, Dettman, Sheahan, Stout and
Swiatek.
Public Participation. None.
Items for Consent. None.
Items for Discussion.
A. Zoning Text Amendment — An amendment to the Zoning Code has been drafted to
reduce the minimum lot size required for multi-family residential dwellings from
5,000 square feet per dwelling unit to 2,000 square feet per dwelling unit in the R-6
Zoning District. This higher density for multi-family is more consistent with nearby
communities, as well as direction laid out in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Plan
Commission members voted 4-0 in favor of the amendment.
Tom Dabareiner provided a staff update and mentioned this change would allow
developers to increase density, which would thereby make financing more attractive.
This change is also being proposed with no changes to existing setback, greenspace
nor building height requirements. A brief discussion followed where members voiced
general support of the size reduction per dwelling unit.

Ordinance No. 24-0-0042 COMMITTEE AGENDA DATE: Nov. 11, 2024
COUNCIL AGENDA DATE:
STAFF REVIEW: Tom Dabareiner, AICP SIGNATURE Z CO >
APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR: Michael Guttman SIGNATURE
ITEM SUMMARY:
Staff has drafted an amendment to the Zoning Code that will add the use of Computer and data
processing facilities, commonly known as data centers, to the list of permitted uses in the M
Manufacturing District. Currently, this use is not permitted, neither by right nor by special use, in the M
Manufacturing District. The use is, however, permitted by right in both the ORI (Office Research and
Light Industrial) District and the A Airport District. An increase in demand for data centers has been
seen throughout the region and this type of use is logical in the M Manufacturing District. Existing data
centers in the City are located in the DuPage Business Center, zoned A Airport. These centers have
little to no impact on surrounding properties and, in staff's opinion, are a compatible use with uses in
the M Manufacturing District.
Furthermore, the amount of property within the M Manufacturing District is far greater than that of both
the ORI and the Airport District. The Manufacturing District therefore lends itself for future opportunities
for data centers. Additionally, the City’s Comprehensive Plan recommends combining uses from the M
Manufacturing District and the ORI to eventually create one industrial district.
At their November 6" meeting, members of the Plan Commission voted unanimously (4-0, with three
absent) in support of the proposed Zoning Text Amendment.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Discuss and recommend approval of the proposed Zoning Text Amendment.

Ordinance No. 24-0-0043 — Zoning Map Amendment
Ordinance No. 24-0-0045 — Preliminary Plat and
Planned Unit Development
STAFF REVIEW: Tom Dabareiner, AICP SIGNATURE <Z>—
APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR: Michael Guttman SIGNATURE
ITEM SUMMARY:
Redwood USA, LLC d/b/a Redwood Living, Inc. has petitioned to the City for a Zoning Map
Amendment, a Preliminary Planned Unit Development, and a Preliminary Plat of Subdivision, for a
139-unit townhome-style development, known as Redwood Apartments, and future commercial
development along North Avenue.
The subject property is a 42.49-acre vacant tract of land made up of two parcels located on the north
side Illinois Route 64 (North Avenue) at Atlantic Drive, approximately 1,275 feet west of Illinois Route
59 (Neltnor Boulevard). The front half of the property is located in the B-3 Regional Shopping District
with the rear half located in the R-6 Multi-Family District. The property has a small existing access at
the signalized intersection of North Avenue and Atlantic Drive. The property is heavily wooded on the
east portion of the property and contains multiple wetlands. A 1-acre tract of land improved with two
structures is located on North Avenue, surrounded by the subject property, but is not part of the
proposed development. The property was previously approved in 2007 for a mixed-use development
known as Kipling Woods at St. Andrews that consisted of 105 owner-occupied townhomes with
commercial development along North Avenue. As a result of the downturn in the economy shortly after
approval, the project never moved forward.
The petitioner is proposing a mixed-use Planned Unit Development (PUD) similar to the Kipling Woods
development, with a Preliminary Plat of Subdivision for two lots. Lot 1, approximately 31 acres located
near the rear of the property, will consist of a townhome-style rental complex known as Redwood
Apartments with Lot 2, approximately 10 acres located along North Avenue, consisting of future
commercial development. Both lots will have access to North Avenue from the existing stub at the
north leg of the signalized intersection of North Avenue and Atlantic Drive.
The townhome-style rental development, and all associated infrastructure such as access drives, will
be owned, operated, and maintained by Redwood USA, LLC. The commercial lot may be sold off by
Redwood to future commercial users for development. As a PUD, the Redwood lot is permitted to have
a density of no more than 6.69 dwelling units per acre, or 215 total dwelling units. The proposal will
have a total of 139 dwelling units, with a density of 4.71 dwelling units per acre. No plans have been
submitted for the future commercial development of Lot 2. Approval of any commercial development on
Lot 2 will occur during final PUD approval of the lot.
The entire property currently has split zoning with the front portion along North Avenue in the B-3

===== PDF PAGE 9 =====
[Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)]
Regional Shopping District and the balance of the property in the R-6 Multi-Family Residence District.
The district lines will be amended slightly so that Lot 2, the commercial lot, will be located entirely
within the B-3 district and Lot 1, the Redwood lot, will be located entirely within the R-6 District.
At their October 15" meeting, members of the Plan Commission voted unanimously (7-0) in support of
the proposed Zoning Map Amendment, Preliminary Plat of Subdivision, and Preliminary Planned Unit
Development.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Discuss and recommend approval of the proposed Zoning Map Amendment, Preliminary Plat of
Subdivision, and Preliminary Planned Unit Development.

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: PC 24-10
Redwood USA, LLC - 30W300 North Avenue
Preliminary Planned Unit Development and Preliminary Plat of Subdivision
DATE: October 15, 2024
DECISION: The motion to approve the Preliminary Planned Unit Development and Preliminary
Plat of Subdivision unanimously passed (7-0).
RECOMMENDATION
After review of the requested special use amendment, the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of
Appeals (PC/ZBA) recommended approval. After review of the requested Preliminary Planned
Unit Development and Plat of Subdivision, the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals
(PC/ZBA) recommended approval according to the following findings of fact:
(A) In what respects the proposed plan is consistent with the comprehensive plan and the stated
purpose and intent of the planned unit development regulations.
The proposed plan of commercial along North Avenue and residential on the balance of the
property is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, which indicates corridor commercial along
North Avenue with residential in the rear of the subject property.
(B) The extent to which the proposed plan meets the requirements and standards of the planned
unit development regulations.
The proposed Planned Unit Development complies with the requirements and standards contained
in Section 15.7 and Section 15.7-2 of the Zoning Code. No variations to these requirements are
sought to accomplish the project.
(©) The extent to which the proposed plan departs from the zoning and subdivision regulations
otherwise applicable to the subject property including, but not limited to, the density, dimension,
area, bulk and use and the reasons why such departures are deemed to be in the public interest.
No deviations from the Zoning Code for the residential development are being sought. All
requirements of the R-6 Multi-family District have been satisfied.
(D) The method by which the proposed plan makes adequate provision for public services,
provides adequate control over vehicular traffic, provides for and protects designated common
open space and furthers the amenities of light and air, recreation and visual enjoyment.
Ordinance 24-O-0045

===== PDF PAGE 14 =====
[Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)]
The proposed development will utilize the existing signalized intersection at North Avenue and
Atlantic Drive and will construct an access drive from the north leg of this intersection. The
proposal received preliminary approval for engineering and will have a more in depth review of
stormwater and utilities during final engineering. Approximately sixty percent of the site will
remain as common open space, to be maintained by Redwood. The proposed townhomes are one-
story and will limit obstruction of light and air to surrounding properties.
(E) The relationship and compatibility of the proposed plan to the adjacent properties and
neighborhood.
The subject property is adjacent to two existing multi-family residential developments to the east
with single-family developments to the north and northeast. The proposed townhome-style rental
units will be consistent with the existing multi-family developments in the area and will provide a
transition between the future commercial development along North Avenue and the existing
single-family homes to the north and northeast.
(F) The desirability of the proposed plan as regards physical development, tax base and
economic well-being of the city.
The proposed plan is a mixed-use development with future commercial opportunities along North
Avenue and proposed multi-family residential in the rear, both consistent with the City’s
Comprehensive Plan. The future commercial opportunities along North Avenue will enhance the
City’s economic base and provide retail opportunities west of the Route 59/North Avenue
commercial hub. Furthermore, the proposed residential development provides additional housing
options for the City, consistent with the goals and objectives within the Comprehensive Plan.

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: PC 24-10
Redwood USA, LLC - 30W300 North Avenue
Zoning Map Amendment
DATE: November 6, 2024
DECISION: The motion to approve the Zoning Map Amendment unanimously passed (7-0).
RECOMMENDATION
After review of the requested Zoning Map Amendment, the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of
Appeals (PC/ZBA) recommended approval according to the following findings of fact:
1.
The existing uses and zoning of the property in question.
The subject property has been used as school for several decades and was placed in the
ER-1 Estate Residence District in 1985. Prior to this designation, it was located in the R-
3 Single-Family Residence District.
. The existing uses and zoning of other lots in the vicinity.
The vast majority of the lots in the vicinity are located in the R-5 Single-Family Residential
District and are used as single-family dwellings.
. Suitability of the property in question for uses already permitted under the existing
regulations.
The property has been used as a school for several decades but is not located within the
proper zoning district for a school.
4. Suitability of the property in question for the proposed use.
As previously stated, the property has been used a school for several decades and that use
will not change with the proposed zoning of R-5.
5. The trend of development in the vicinity of the property in question, including any recent
zoning activity.
The area around the subject property has been developed for decades and is located
primarily in the R-5 District.

6. The effect the proposed rezoning would have on implementation of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan identifies the property as institutional, anticipating that the
property will continue to be used as a school.
7. Impact on surrounding properties.
The proposed rezoning will not affect the surrounding properties and the use of the
property as a school will not change.
8. Impact on health, safety, or welfare of the community.
The proposed rezoning will not have a detrimental impact on the health, safety, nor welfare
of the community. No change in use is proposed for the property and it will continue to be
used in the same manner it has been for several decades.

Landscape Standards
Introduction
The aesthetic appearance of every Redwood Neighborhood is important to the overall brand identity of
the company, which has been built on the basis of quality and consistency in product. The purpose of
the Landscape Design Standards is to establish specific guidelines for all portions of site development
relating to the landscaping of proposed neighborhoods. This document is to be used as a reference tool
throughout the design process by all consultants who are assisting Redwood with the entitlement
process, including landscape design.
In instances where Redwood’s landscape standards do not align with municipal codes, the project’s
Acquisition Manager is responsible for getting any variances approved during approval process. At
times, it will be necessary to deviate from these standards based on physical characteristics of the site,
or to fulfill certain jurisdictional or municipal requirements. Any departure from the established
standards within this document is to be submitted for review and approval by Redwood prior to any
formal submittal for zoning or entitlement approval. This communication will ensure brand integrity is
maintained, and will identify any construction or ongoing maintenance cost implications that may be
incurred.
Landscape Plan Typical Information
Site Plan
The production of landscape plans for entitlement, construction, and bidding shall utilize the standard
design concepts outlined in the following section to ensure that consistency is applied to the landscape
aesthetic for all sites. It is understood that certain municipalities may require additional landscaping to
fulfill code requirements for buffer, streetscape, etc. The landscape architect shall coordinate and
communicate any variations required for landscape plan approval to Redwood as early on within the
design process as possible, to be included in preliminary cost budgeting.

Lawn Area Details
Project sites shall utilize a combination of sod, seed, and areas of no mow/low mow grass.
Areas directly adjacent to the structures shall be installed with sod to promote a positive and
instantaneous aesthetic and maintain erosion control.
Seed shall be utilized in larger open areas between buildings, around retention basins, and in
programmed open lawn areas.
All remaining areas shall utilize a no mow/low mix of grass. This mixture will lessen the impact
to overall maintenance of the site as well as reduce irrigation costs. Specific mixture types may
vary per market area, so consult with local landscape contractor to verify best choice.
Bermuda grass shall be used as standard seed in North and South Carolina.

Ordinance No. 24-O-0039 — Zoning Map Amendment
Ordinance No. 24-O-0040 — Special Use Permit
STAFF REVIEW: Tom Dabareiner, AICP SIGNATURE L=———
APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR: Michael Guttman SIGNATURE
ITEM SUMMARY:
West Chicago School District 33 is proposing to construct an 18-stall parking lot on the east side of the
existing school building. Access onto Kenwood Avenue and Brown Street will be installed to serve the
parking. The existing parking lot on the east side of the building will be reconfigured to primarily serve
as a dedicated drop-off lane. The location and dimensions of the proposed parking lot comply with
Zoning Code.
The property is in the ER-1 Estate Residence District, which does not permit a school, neither by right
nor by special use. The Petitioner is therefore seeking to rezone the property to the R-5 Single-Family
Residential District, which is consistent with vast majority of properties in the area. The Petitioner is
also seeking to formally obtain a Special Use Permit for the continuation of the use of a school on the
property.
At their November 6" meeting, members of the Plan Commission voted unanimously (4-0, with three
absent) in support of the proposed Zoning Map Amendment and the proposed Special Use Permit.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Discuss and recommend approval of the proposed Zoning Map Amendment and the proposed Special
Use Permit.

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: PC 24-17
Pioneer School - 615 Kenwood Avenue
Special Use Permit for a School
DATE: November 6, 2024
DECISION: The motion to approve the Special Use Permit unanimously passed (5-0).
RECOMMENDATION
After review of the requested special use amendment, the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of
Appeals (PC/ZBA) recommended approval. After review of the requested special use permit, the
Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals (PC/ZBA) recommended approval according to the
following findings of fact:
Is necessary for the public convenience at the location or, the case of existing nonconforming
uses, a special use permit will make the use more compatible with its surroundings. ***This
standard should be interpreted as indicating whether or not the proposed use is good for the
public at that particular physical location, and not whether or not the use itself is needed
there ***
The property has been used as a school for several decades and was located within a
neighborhood to serve the needs of the students.
Is so designed, located and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety and
welfare will be protected:
The proposed parking lot expansion will not impact the public health, safety, nor
welfare of the community and will alleviate potential parking issues on the property.
The reconfigured parking lot will improve on-site circulation of drop-off and pick-up
of students.
Will not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in
which it is located:
The use of the property will not change as a result of the new parking enhancements
and will help alleviate potential parking issues.
The proposed special use is designated by this code as a listed special use in the zoning
district in which the property in question is located:

Zoning Map Amendment
DATE: November 6, 2024
DECISION: The motion to approve the Zoning Map Amendment unanimously passed (4-0).
RECOMMENDATION
After review of the requested Zoning Map Amendment, the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of
Appeals (PC/ZBA) recommended approval according to the following findings of fact:
1.
The existing uses and zoning of the property in question.
The subject property has been used as school for several decades and was placed in the
ER-1 Estate Residence District in 1985. Prior to this designation, it was located in the R-
3 Single-Family Residence District.
. The existing uses and zoning of other lots in the vicinity.
The vast majority of the lots in the vicinity are located in the R-5 Single-Family Residential
District and are used as single-family dwellings.
. Suitability of the property in question for uses already permitted under the existing
regulations.
The property has been used as a school for several decades but is not located within the
proper zoning district for a school.
4. Suitability of the property in question for the proposed use.
As previously stated, the property has been used a school for several decades and that use
will not change with the proposed zoning of R-5.
5. The trend of development in the vicinity of the property in question, including any recent
zoning activity.
The area around the subject property has been developed for decades and is located
primarily in the R-5 District.
6. The effect the proposed rezoning would have on implementation of the Comprehensive Plan.
Ordinance 24-O0-0039
Page 4 of 5

===== PDF PAGE 55 =====
[Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)]
The Comprehensive Plan identifies the property as institutional, anticipating that the
property will continue to be used as a school.
7. Impact on surrounding properties.
The proposed rezoning will not affect the surrounding properties and the use of the
property as a school will not change.
8. Impact on health, safety, or welfare of the community.
The proposed rezoning will not have a detrimental impact on the health, safety, nor welfare
of the community. No change in use is proposed for the property and it will continue to be
used in the same manner it has been for several decades.

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: PC 24-16
238 Hazel Street
Special Use Permit for a School
DATE: November 6, 2024
DECISION: The motion to approve the Special Use Permit unanimously passed (4-0).
RECOMMENDATION
After review of the requested Special Use Permit, the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of
Appeals (PC/ZBA) recommended approval according to the following findings of fact:
(A) Is necessary for the public convenience at the location or, the case of existing
nonconforming uses, a special use permit will make the use more compatible with its
surroundings. ***This standard should be interpreted as indicating whether or not the
proposed use is good for the public at that particular physical location, and not whether or
not the use itself is needed there***
The property has been used as a school for several decades and was located within a
neighborhood to serve the needs of the students.
(B) Is so designed, located and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety and
welfare will be protected:
The proposed parking reconfiguration and new parking lot, each with a dedicated drop-off
lane, will improve circulation on the site.
(C) Will not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in
which it is located:
The use of the property will not change as a result of the new parking/access enhancements.
(D) The proposed special use is designated by this code as a listed special use in the zoning
district in which the property in question is located:
A public elementary school is listed as a special use in the R-1 Residential District, per Section
9.2-4 (A) of the West Chicago Zoning Code.

APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR: Michael Guttman SIGNATURE
STAFF REVIEW: Tom Dabareiner, AICP
ITEM SUMMARY:
Habitat for Humanity is proposing to develop the Woodland Ridge subdivision with four townhome
buildings, which are considered multiple-family dwelling structures and are not permitted in the current
zoning district of R-3 Single-Family Residential. The property is identified as Multi-Family Residential
within the City’s Comprehensive Plan, which is consistent with the zoning designation of R-6 Multiple-
Family. The R-6 district permits multi-family dwellings, such as townhomes, by right. The petitioner is
therefore seeking a Zoning Map Amendment to place the property in the R-6 District. The subject
property is roughly 1.75 acres and was previously platted as Woodland Ridge subdivision with seven
lots for single-family homes and a public right-of-way for a cul-de-sac known as Woodland Court. The
lots were never developed and remain vacant and Woodland Court remains unimproved.
At their November 6' meeting, members of the Plan Commission voted unanimously (4-0, with three
absent) in support of the proposed Zoning Map Amendment Special Use Permit.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Discuss and recommend approval of the proposed Zoning Map Amendment.

SUBJECT: PC 24-19
Habitat for Humanity - Woodland Ridge Subdivision
Zoning Map Amendment
DATE: November 6, 2024
DECISION: The motion to approve the Zoning Map Amendment unanimously passed (4-0).
RECOMMENDATION
After review of the requested Zoning Map Amendment, the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of
Appeals (PC/ZBA) recommended approval according to the following findings of fact:
1. The existing uses and zoning of the property in question.
The subject property is located in the R-3 Single-Family Residential District and is
currently vacant.
2. The existing uses and zoning of other lots in the vicinity.
The property to the north is Don Earley Park, located in the R-3 Single-Family Residential
District. The property to the east is the Main Park apartment complex, located in the R-6
Multiple-Family Dwelling District. The properties to the south are single-family residential
dwellings, located in the R-3 Single-Family Residential District. The properties to the west
are single-family residential dwellings, located in the R-5 Single-Family Residential
District.
. Suitability of the property in question for uses already permitted under the existing
regulations.
When the property was platted for seven homes, the current stormwater management
requirements were not in effect and no stormwater management area was required. This
allowed for the entire property to be used for single-family family dwelling lots. Current
regulations now require a sizeable stormwater management area on site, significantly
reducing the developable area for single-family homes.
4. Suitability of the property in question for the proposed use.
With townhomes, the petitioner is able to provide the same amount of dwelling units as
were previously proposed while still accounting for the required stormwater management
area. Townhomes on the site are a better utilization of the property and in keeping with the
Ordinance 24-0-0041
Page 4 of 5

===== PDF PAGE 69 =====
[Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)]
City’s Comprehensive Plan.
5. The trend of development in the vicinity of the property in question, including any recent
zoning activity.
The development in the immediate area is mixed with single-family and multi-family
dwellings. Further to the east is the Woodboro townhome development, with roughly the
same density.
6. The effect the proposed rezoning would have on implementation of the Comprehensive Plan.
The rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
7. Impact on surrounding properties.
The proposed rezoning will not affect the surrounding properties and will be in keeping
with the mix of residential types in the neighborhood.
8. Impact on health, safety, or welfare of the community.
The proposed rezoning will not have a detrimental impact on the health, safety, nor welfare
of the community. The rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and adjacent
properties. The use of the property as residential is consistent with the surrounding
residential uses.

APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR: Michael
Guttman SIGNATURE
ITEM SUMMARY:
The Downtown Retail & Restaurant Business Grant Program was approved by the City Council in
2013 to strengthen retail business activity in the downtown. There has only been one grant awarded
in the program’s history. The business subject to the grant has not yet opened so there has not been
any reimbursement made for this program to date. Revisions are being proposed to attract interest
and support new and existing retailers and restaurants in the downtown.
With expenses related to the build-out of retail and restaurant spaces being moved to the Downtown
Investment Program, the Retail & Restaurant Grant Program can now prioritize tools that will support
business success. Key revisions to the Downtown Retail & Restaurant Grant Program include:
e Shift the improvements to build-out a retail or restaurant to the Downtown Investment Program
to create consistency of requirements and prioritize physical improvements;
Streamline the approval process by eliminating the Selection Committee, recognizing that Staff
lacks the technical capacity to determine the viability of a business plan;
Recognizing the value of having a business plan, retain the need to provide a business plan
as an application requirement and have the Applicant demonstrate how the Program funding
will support their plan; and
e Expand eligible expenses to include:
e Retail consulting services;
e Visual merchandising services;
Online sales platforms; and
e Website development.
e Allow existing retailers & restauranteurs to participate with a maximum grant award of $5,000.
The proposed revised Retail & Restaurant Grant Program has been unanimously recommended by
the Economic Development Commission (EDC) at their October 22, 2024 meeting. Additionally, the
EDC has recommended a budget for FY 2025 of $30,000 to be funded from the Downtown TIF #2
Fund, supplemented with funds from the General Fund until such time as the TIF Fund has sufficient
increment to cover the approved budget for the Downtown Investment Program. The requested pro-
gram funding has been included in the draft budget for consideration.

STAFF REVIEW: Kelley Chrisse, AICP, CEcD SIGNATURE lal Chur
APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR: Michael
ITEM SUMMARY:
Private property investment improves the overall aesthetic, quality, and vitality of the downtown and
the City as a whole. Renewed investment in the downtown increases the opportunity for redevel-
opment, whereas a lack of private investment can effectively hinder (re)development efforts.
Unfortunately, there has been a lack of investment and in some cases general maintenance on
private structures in the downtown. Additionally, there are still a number of commercial vacancies
in the downtown resulting in less activity in the area. Despite the existing Fagade Improvement and
Retail & Restaurant Grant Programs having been around for many years, they are underutilized.
Based on conversations with property and business owners, reasons they have not used the grant
programs include lack of funding availability, amount of time required to obtain grant approval, “dif-
ficult” approval processes, need for three different estimates, and lack of interest by multiple con-
tractors for small projects.
The proposed Downtown Investment Program combines the Facade Improvement and a portion of
the Retail & Restaurant Grant programs related to physical property improvements to streamline
the application process, provide flexibility in funding, and incentivize certain improvements/projects.
As a way to overcome barriers to participation, the Downtown Investment Program includes:
e Increasing the maximum funding amount for projects to encourage greater private investment;
e Allowing projects to include interior and/or exterior improvements with consistent requirements
under a single program;
e Categorizing improvements with corresponding reimbursement amounts based on the ex-
pected long-term impact;
e Encouraging larger, more comprehensive projects but allowing funding for smaller, property
maintenance projects at a lower amount;
e Providing additional funding for historically significant properties that are making major and/or
minor improvements; and
e Granting authority to the City Administrator, or designee, to approve maintenance items and
streetscape improvements to reduce the approval timeline for smaller projects.
In an effort to streamline the submittal process, Staff will combine the Downtown Investment Program
and Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) applications, which will be available digitally. The re-
sponses provided on the application will determine what other questions need to be answered.

This approach is intended to minimize unnecessary questions and avoid duplication between differ-
ent application processes.
To generate interest in these types of projects by the local businesses, Staff will be reaching out to
contractors located within West Chicago and others that have done work on properties in the down-
town. The contractors will be provided with an overview of the program and grant process, upon
which interested contractors will be added to a participating contractor list that will be made available
to potential applicants. This effort is intended to create a network of contractors and assist appli-
cants in their efforts to obtain estimates, but the selection of a contractor would remain the appli-
cant’s responsibility.
The proposed Downtown Investment Program has been unanimously recommended by the Eco-
nomic Development Commission (EDC) at their October 22, 2024 meeting. Additionally, the EDC
has recommended a budget for FY 2025 of $125,000 to be funded from the Downtown TIF #2
Fund, supplemented with funds from the General Fund until such time as the TIF Fund has suffi-
cient increment to cover the approved budget for the Downtown Investment Program. This budget
request has been included in the draft budget for consideration. As the current Fagade Improve-
ment Grant Program is codified, the prepared ordinance repeals the applicable Article.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Consideration of Ordinance No. 24-O0-0044 to repeal the Fagade Program and approve the Down-
town Investment Program.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

incremental increase in value and/or marketability of the property while also improving
the building’s aesthetic and functional use of the property;
C. Maintenance Items — include any modifications that bring the building into code
compliance and prevent deterioration of the property;
D. Streetscape Improvements — consist of elements that require a smaller investment
and are considered less permanent but make a noticeable improvement to the curb
appeal of the property; and

Funding Maximums.
A. Funding awards are determined by the lowest of the three (3) estimates submitted for
the Project scope in accordance with the maximum reimbursement listed by Funding
Category (see attached).

over the life of the Program is $100,000.
