PROSPECT BOARD
NEW BUSINESS
To meet the strategic goals and needs of the community while fostering a
business -friendly environment., the Community Development Department is
recommending - following text amendmentsto the zoning ordinance •
VillageCode:
The Zoning Ordinance requires that screening be provided around both new and
existing mechanical equipment when existing mechanical equipment is replaced.
This requirement has proved burdensome for local businesses, several of which
have put off replacing units as they cannot afford to screen new and existing units
because that often requires structural upgrades to the building to handle wind
loads. Therefore,, staff is proposing that only new units be screened., and that
screening not be required when replacing an existing., non -screened rooftop
mechanical unit in the same place with a new unit that is either as tall as, or
shorter than, the existing unit.
1
Swimming pools are required to be located behind the rear line of the building of
the principal structure on the lot in the R-1,, R -Al R-2, and R -X districts and the
surface area of the swimming pool is included in total lot coverage calculations.
The location requirement is overly restrictive and can make it impossible for
homeowners to locate pools on their property as they are simultaneously dealing
with setbacks from power lines, easements, and other utilities. Therefore, staff is
proposing that swimming pools no longer be required to be located entirely behind
the rear line of the building of the principal structure and instead be required to be
located outside of any required side yard setbacks, which is consistent with most
accessory structures in residential districts. In addition, pools are permitted to
encroach into the rear yard provided a minimum of fifteen feet (15') is maintained
from the rear property line to the edge of the structure.

proposing that all existing -nonconforming residential single-family front yard
encroachments be able to be extended (i.e. add to the sides of the building

improve the appearance of homes in the Village and make it easier for residents
to make improvements to their homes. Note that the Zoning Code already permits
second story additions • follow any non -conforming side, front or I lot lines.
requiredArticle V1, Section 14. 604: Land Use Table I
There are approximately 1,500 homes in the Village with one -car attached
garages in the R-1 and R -A districts, which are the the most common single-
family zoning districts. It is often difficult, if not impossible., for these homes to
add an additional garage stall to their home without significantly encroaching into
the side yardsetback.tomultiple•these setback
requirements recently being granted by the Village Board., staff is proposing that
expanding one -car attached garages to two -car attached garages be made a
conditional use in all relevant residential zoning districts. If approved and made a
conditional use., each expansion into the required interior side yard setback would
be reviewed on its own merits to ensure there was • impact on • • •
properties. The change from requiring a variation (current code) to a conditional
use (proposed amendment) allows the Planning and Zoning Commission to review
the application under a different., and more appropriate, set of standards outlined
in the • ! Code.
Other Proposed Text Amendments: Article 3, Section 7.302: Permanent
Village code only permits one menu board for a drive-in restaurant or per drive-
through lane in addition to other signs. The Village has granted relief from this
requirement in the past as it is commonplace for drive-in restaurants to have a
secondary menu board near the entrance of the drive-through lane.
HoTAMIllage has granted menu board variations for:
• Chick-fil-A (2011 - PZ -13-11)
• Panera Bread (2011PZ-22-11)
• • .(2014•
• 1 • • -(2016
• Starbucks !(2017•
V
The proposed regulations would limit these secondary boards to half of the size as
the primary menu boards, or twenty (20) square feet. Their maximum height is
also to be consistent with primary menu boards at no more than eight feet (8) in
height from base grade. Any light generated from the secondary menu board
would be required to be contained to the drive-through lane only. This is
consistent with what has been approved in the prior cases.

amendments satisfy the standards for text amendments as required in the zoning
code.
The proposed text amendments to the Zoning Code are contained in the attached

PROPOSAL
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
APPROVE WITH CONDITIONS
MILM
To meet the strategic goals and needs of the community while fostering a business -friendly environment,
the Community Development Department is recommending the following text amendments to the zoning
ordinance of the Village Code:
Article Ill, Section 14.304.1: Design Standards
The Zoning Ordinance requires that screening be provided around both new and existing mechanical
equipment when existing mechanical equipment is replaced. This requirement has proved burdensome for
local businesses, several of which have put off replacing units as they cannot afford to screen new and
existing units because that often requires structural upgrades to the building to handle wind loads.
Therefore, staff is proposing that only new units be screened, and that screening not be required when
replacing an existing, non -screened rooftop mechanical unit in the same place with a new unit that is either
as tall as, or shorter than, the existing unit.
Article Ill, Section 14.306: Accessory Structures
Swimming pools are required to be located behind the rear line of the building of the principal structure on
the lot in the R-1., R -A. R-2, and R -X districts and the surface area of the swimming pool is included in total
lot coverage calculations. The location requirement is overly restrictive and can make it impossible for
homeowners to locate pools on their property as they are simultaneously dealing with setbacks from power
lines, easements, and other utilities. Therefore, staff is proposing that swimming pools no longer be
required to be located entirely behind the rear line of the building of the principal structure and instead be
required to be located outside of any required side yard setbacks, which is consistent with most accessory
structures in residential districts.

As pools take up a considerable amount of space, their counting towards lot coverage can make it
impossible for property owners, especially those owning smaller lots to locate a pool on their property.
Engineering staff believe it is no longer necessary to count pools towards lot coverage due to the 'freeboard'
or overflow nature of their construction. In freeboard pool construction, the upper perimeter of the pool is
finished with an edging tile or coping stone, with the water level usualy around six inches (6") below the
pool surround. The distance between the operating water level and its surrounding deck area is referred to
as the "freeboard" and it is here that its name derives. Engineering staff believe that this standard six-inch
(6") freeboard space provides more than enough space to accommodate a major storm event. Additionally,
because the vast majority of pool covers are not rigid in nature, they do not have concerns about pool
covers causing additional runoff or flooding. Therefore, staff is comfortable no longer counting the surface
area of a pool towards lot coverage, enabling more property owners to locate pools on their property. The
pool's structure and any surrounding flatwork would still count towards lot coverage.
Article IV Section 14.402: Nonconforming Buildings and Structures
More than sixty percent (60%) of all homes in the village encroach into the required thirty foot (30') front
yard setback. The Zoning Code requires that any additions onto these homes meet the required front yard
setback, regardless of an existing nonconformity. This results in a noncohesive aesthetic appearance and
variation requests to build in the required front yard setback to avoid this less -attractive appearance when
owners look to add additions onto their homes. Staff is proposing that all existing -nonconforming residential
single-family front yard encroachments be able to be extended, but not increased to improve the
appearance of homes in the village and make it easier for residents to make improvements to their homes.
Article V1, Section 14.604: Land Use Table I
There are approximately 1,500 homes in the village with one -car attached garages in the R-1 and R -A
districts, which are the primary single-family residential zoning districts in the village. it is often difficult, if
not impossible, for these homes to add an additional garage stall to their without significantly encroaching
into the required side yard setback. Due to multiple variations to these setback requirements recently being
granted by the Village Board, staff is proposing that expanding one -car attached garages to two -car
attached garages be made a conditional use in all relevant residential zoning districts. If approved and made
a conditional use, each expansion into the required interior side yard setback would be reviewed on its own
merits to ensure there was no impact on surrounding properties.
This narrow width discourages homeowners and developers alike from building both additions and new
homes in the district. If the required exterior side yard setback was reduced to ten feet (10'), only 181
homes in the village would conflict with the setback.
Other os eid Text Amendments: Article 3, Section 7.302: Permanent Signs:
Village code only permits one menu board for a drive-in restaurant or per drive-through lane in addition to
other signs. The village has granted relief from this requirement in the past as it is commonplace for drive-in
restaurants to have a secondary menu board near the entrance of the drive-through lane. The proposed
regulations would limit these secondary boards to half of the size as the primary menu boards, or twenty
(20) square feet. Their maximum height is also to be consistent with primary menu boards at no more than
eight feet (8') in height from base grade. Any light generated from the secondary menu board would be
required to be contained to the drive-through lane only.

Standards for Text Amendments
The standards for text amendments are listed in Section 14.203.D of the Village Zoning Ordinance for the
Planning and Zoning Commission to consider. The standards are:
The general applicability of the amendment to the community, rather than an individual parcel;
Consistency of the amendment with objectives of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan;
The degree to which the amendment would create non -conformity;
The degree to which the amendment would make the Zoning Code more permissive; and
• Consistency of the amendment with Village policy as established by previous rulings.
The proposed amendments to the Zoning Code would be applicable to the community as a whole and are
not proposed in response to an individual parcel within the Village of Mount Prospect. The amendments are
comprehensive in nature, and are intended to eliminate several existing nonconformities. The proposed
changes are intended to reflect current Village objectives as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan and other
accepted planning documents. The proposed amendments satisfy the standards for text amendments as
required in the zoning code.
The proposed text amendments to the zoning code are contained in the attached documents. Modifications to

Existing nonconforming structures which do not conform to the required building setbacks may be enlarged by
creating a second story, provided the existing nonconforming setback for the structure is maintained and the
proposed enlargement meets other applicable zoning requirements.
In residential zoning districts, existing nonconforming driveways, patios and sidewalks may be replaced in the
same location without complying with the bulk regulations of this chapter. However, if such driveways, patios,
and/or sidewalks are replaced with a different structure, any such replacement structure must meet applicable
lot coverage requirements. For instance, a nonconforming patio can be replaced with another patio surface but
it cannot be replaced with a driveway, deck, or other structure without meeting lot coverage requirements.

Chairman Donnelly called the meeting to order at 7:01 pm. Commissioner Fillippone made a motion
seconded by Commissioner Mizwicki to approve the minutes from the Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting on June 25, 2020. The minutes were approved 3-0, with Commissioner Mizwicki abstaining.
Chairman Donnelly introduced case number, PZ -14-20 50 S. Emerson Street, as text amendments. This
case is Village Board final.
Mr. Harmon gave a brief description of each proposed amendment, and the reasoning behind each one.
Commissioner Szymczak asked to clarify the difference between extending a setback vs. increasing a
setback.
Chairman Donnelly stated that a setback cannot be increased by moving it closer to a lot line, but as an
example, if a front facing building has a certain setback, any addition to the sides of the building would
be able to follow that same existing setback.
Commissioner Mizwicki asked if fences would still be required around pools since the setback
requirement is proposed to be changed.
Mr. Shallcross stated yes, the Village would still require fencing, or a safety barrier.
