JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER FROM: DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DATE: APRIL 30, 2004 SUBJECT: PZ-13-04 - CONDITIONAL USE (AMEND PUD) 999 N. ELMHURST ROAD RANDHURST SHOPPING CENTER - APPLICANT The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-13-04, a request to amend the Randhurst Shopping Center Planned Unit Development to adopt a sign program and parking lot lighting plan, as described in detail in the attached staff report. The Planning & Zoning Commission heard the request at their April 22, 2004 meeting. The Village Board approved signage regulations specific to the mall in August 2003 to allow Randhurst some flexibility for exterior signage. At that time the Village Board also granted relief from the parking lot lighting regulations for the Costco parking lot area. The approved lighting plan exceeds the 2.4-foot candle limitation and the light standards (which include a dropped lens fixture) measure 43.6' in height. Currently, the Petitioner would like to create a unified lighting scheme by extending the 'Costeo Lighting Plan' throughout the mall. The Petitioner has submitted a photometric plan that is essentially the same as the previously approved 'Costco Lighting Plan'. Also, the Petitioner is seeking to amend the Randhurst Exterior Signage Criteria to incorporate other types of signs and to allow for larger sign faces. The enclosed II "xI?" booklet illustrates the Petitioner's proposed signage concepts for the mall. The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the Petitioner's request in great detail. The Commissioners presented their concerns regarding the proposed color scheme and the size of the freestanding banners, as well as their opinions on the proposed water tower graphic and color. The Planning & Zoning Commission members voted 4-2 to recommend that the Village Board approve the Conditional Use request for the proposed sign program and lighting plan, Case No. PZ-I3-04 subject to the conditions listed in the Staff Memo. Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their May 4, 2004 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter. 4 lie ftIPLAN\P¡mwu'g & Zo";"g COMM\P&Z ""'\ME! Mc,"",\PZ-IJ"" ME!

Elmhurst Road Randhurst Shopping Center PETITIONER: Mark A. Gershon, attorney for Rouse-Randhurst Shopping Center PIN#: 03-27 -401-261/262/264/265/266/040 PUBLICA TION DATE: April 7, 2004 Journal/Topics REQUEST: Amend POD - Signage & Lighting MEMBERS PRESENT: Arlene Juracek, Chair Merrill Cotten Leo Floros Richard Rogers Matthew Sledz Keith Youngquist MEMBERS ABSENT: Joseph Donnelly STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT: Michael Jacobs, AICP, Deputy Director of Community Development Judy ConnoHy, AICP, Senior Planner INTERESTED PARTIES: Robert Cohen, R. Fugman, Mark A. Gershon, Robert & Maria Habel, Russ Harrison, A. Kustner Haser, Allison Maxwell, and John Parantha Chairperson Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Richard Rogers made a motion to approve the minutes of the March 25 meeting and Keith Youngquist seconded the motion. The minutes were approved 5-0 with one abstention by Merrill Cotten. At 8:36, Ms. Juracek introduced Case No. PZ-13-04, a request to amend a PUD to revise signage and lighting at the Randhurst Shopping Center. She noted that the request would be Village Board final. Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, presented the case. She said that the Petitioner has requested an amendment to the Planned Unit Development for the Randhurst Mall, which requires Conditional Use approval. The amendment incIudes modifying the signage criteria specific to Randhurst Shopping Center and relief from parking lot lighting regulations for the site. The Subject Property is located at the northeast corner of Rand and Elmhurst Roads, between Kensington Road and Euclid Avenue, and contains a regional shopping mall with multiple outlots. The Subject Property is zoned B3 Community Shopping PUD and is bordered to the north by single-family residential, which is in Prospect Heights, to the east by the RX Single Family District, to the west by the RX & Rl Single-Family Districts and the B4 Corridor Commercial District, and to the south by the B3 & B4 Commercial Districts and the RX Single Family District. Ms. Connolly said that the Village Board recently approved the 'Exterior Signage Criteria' to aJIow Randhurst some flexibility for exterior signage, subject to Staff approval, that may not otherwise be allowed by the Village's Sign Code. The basis for granting Randhurst the Exterior Signage Criteria stemmed from the fact that Randhurst is a large, regional mall that is a unique property within Mount Prospect and signage permitted for a typical freestanding retail center may not be appropriate for a regional mall. Planning & Zoning Commission Arlene Juracek, Chairperson PZ-13 -04 Page 2 As part of the same zoning case, the Village Board granted relief from parking lot lighting regulations for the Costco parking lot area. The approved lighting plan exceeds the 2.4-foot candle limitation and contains light standards, which include a dropped lens fixture, that measure 43.6' in height. The Petitioner would like to extend the previously approved 'Costco Lighting Plan' throughout the mall and has submitted a photometric plan that is essentiaHy the same as the previously approved 'Costco Lighting Plan', The light standards would be the same height and design as those approved for Costco, which were 43.6' tall and included a fixture with a dropped lens. The lighting levels would be the same as the lighting levels approved for Costco and exceed the 2.4 foot-candles limitation within the Village Code. Ms. Connolly said that in order to approve the lighting request, it has to meet the required findings for a variation as Iisted in the Zoning Ordinance. She summarized the standards listed in the Zoning Ordinance. She noted that the Petitioner's request to permit taller light standards and brighter lights meets the standards for a variation because the light standards would be located in a regional mall, which is a unique condition, and the area required to be lit to ensure shopper's safety is larger than most parking lots in Mount Prospect. The proposed lights would not adversely impact the public welfare and could be designed so the lights would be angled away from the existing residential development to the east of the Subject Property so as to have a minimal impact on the neighborhood character. The second part of the case is modification of the Exterior Signage criteria. Ms. Connolly said that following the approval of Ordinance 5361, the Petitioner retained Ambrosini Design to create a complete sign program for the mall, The designer created a signage program that contains signs such as freestanding banner structures, a graphic on the water tower, and informational and regulatory signs that were not included within the existing Randhurst Exterior Signage Criteria. Also, in creating these signs it was determined that some of the heights and/or sizes of sign faces pennitted within the existing signage criteria were not adequate to display directional information. Therefore, the Petitioner is seeking to amend the Randhurst Exterior Signage Criteria to incorporate other types of signs and to allow for larger sign faces. Ms. Connolly said that the Petitioner prepared a modified signage criteria exhibit that specifically lists the requested changes. The booklet illustrates the signage concepts that the Petitioner is in the process of finalizing. The booklet also includes a map that identifies proposed locations for each type of sign. The goal of the modified Exterior Signage Criteria for Randhurst Mall is to allow the mall owners and Village Staff the ability to approve certain types of signage without having to go through the Conditional Use approval process to amend the PUD. However, Staff recommends that the graphíc for the water tower obtain Village Board approval. In order to approve the proposed sign program, the request has to meet the standards for a conditional use as listed in the Zoning Ordinance. Ms. Connolly reviewed the findings that must be made in order to approve a conditional use. She said that the proposed conditional use would be located within the Randhurst Shopping Center, which is an existing PUD in the B-3 Community Shopping District. The Petitioner proposes to modify the established signage criteria to implement a signage program that includes elements similar to those used at other regional shopping malls. The proposal meets the standards for a Conditional Use because the signs would have minimal impact on the adjacent properties and would enhance the overall appearance of the malL Also, the proposed signs make it easier for shoppers to navigate the mall parking lot. Other departments reviewed the Petitioner's requests and did not object to the lighting or signage requests. It was noted that footing details will be required as part of the permit review. Also, the banners will need to be maintained in good order and be designed to withstand local winds. Based on this analysis, the proposed Exterior Signage Criteria and relief from zoning regulations for parking lot lighting complies with the Conditional Use and Variation standards established by the Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that Village Board approve the proposed Exterior Signage Criteria and parking lot lighting plan subject to: . Development of the Randhurst Sign Program in conformance with the schematic design presentation Planning & Zoning Commission Arlene Juracek, Chairperson PZ-13-04 Page 3 . booklet prepared by Ambrosini Design, dated March 9,2004, subject to: The size and number of signs not exceeding the details/dimensions listed in the booklet; The Village Board shall review and approve the final graphic design for the water tower and any subsequent changes to this graphic prior to installation; and Obtaining final graphic design (images, colors, etc.) approval by the Director of Community Development for all signs except the water tower. Phased implementation of parking lot lighting for the entire mall in conformance with the lighting levels depicted on the photometric plan prepared by T.E. Inc., dated March 2004. The petitioner must submit photometric plans for future parking lot lighting for review and approval by Village staff prior to installation. . . . . Ms. Connolly said that the Village Board's decision is final for this case. Richard Rogers asked if the Commission's packets contained up-to-date sign graphics, Ms. ConnoHy said the Petitioner has a revised booklet. Mark Gershon, attorney for Randhurst, passed out new graphics to the Commission. Ms. Juracek asked if the banners had uplights and weren't there recent regulations regarding uplights. Mr. Jacobs said they would have to meet Code and that would be looked into. Mr. Floros said banners do not look good for long. Ms. Connolly said that would be a condition of approval; that the banner would have to be maintained. Mr. Rogers asked the existing height limit on a freestanding sign and was told it was 12 feet. Mark Gershon, Piper Rudnick, was sworn in. He said the booklet he just handed out was an update to the booklet the Commission received in their packets and that he would leave the explanation of that to Ambrosini Sign Design. He said Ms. Connolly had summarized their request very well. He said Costco would be ready to open soon and Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurant would be coming before the Board for permission to build a facility on an outlot. In keeping with those improvements, they want to improve the signage and lighting to the overall center. He asked Ken Ambrosini to step up and explain the signage booklet presented that evening. Ken Ambrosini was sworn in. He said the purpose of the new sign program is to update the shopping center, which is currently lacking identification. They want to define the mall's four main entries: one on Kensington, two on Elmhurst, and one on Euclid. The main identifier, the existing water tower, is located on Rand Road. The color palette has been designed to have more color and energy for the center. Play, Shop, Dine will be the key action words used in a discretionary manner. A stylized flower will be the symbol. They will be permanent double~sided banners, they will not be loose in the wind. They will be uplighted so as not to be in the eyes of motorists. Each of the four main entries will have a group of 3 banners. He has had these banners at the Nike Campus for 7 years and they are in perfect condition. Mr. Ambrosini went to the easels and described the various planned metal layered, directional, internally illuminated, mural element, reverse channel, and self-contained lighting banner signs that would be used at the various interior and exterior entries and intersections. Finally, he described the proposed water tower graphics self-adhesive vinyl wrap and signage identifier to be used at the base of water tower along with new landscaping and painting. Ms. Juracek said these colors were fine for now, but asked what would happen when the colors were out of style in a few years. Mr. Ambrosini said he tries to select colors that stay popular for many years and that he believes these colors will have a ten-year Hfe span. Commission members voiced opinions that the proposed colors and banners would be garish and in need of maintenance at different times thus lacking consistency in appearance. Robert Cohen, 900 N. Michigan, General Manager of Randhurst, was sworn in. He said they are trying to create a landmark at Randhurst. Regarding the water tower, he said it is on an incredibly busy corner and they want to create an identifier for the passing traffic. The tower will be completely refurbished. They chose to use a vinyl ...._-"------""""-------""'------_-_._7_._~_._'-.-"-.'.-,-.-.-.-.-.-m.w.'.-.-.w.'.'m.'.'.'.w.'.'.'.'..'.'.. Planning & Zoning Commission Arlene Juracek, Chairperson PZ-I3 -04 Page 4 wrap rather than the alternative, which would be to hand paint the tower. They feel this is a new, vibrant signage package for the shopping center. Ms. Juracek said she liked the basic concept, but felt the signage and the water tower would look dated in the very near future. She said that she could support the requested height of the banners, but not the proposed colors. Mr. Rogers stated he could not support the requested height of the proposed banners and noted that 15 feet is the taB est sign most recently approved. Ms. Juracek reiterated that she was opposed to the colors. Mr. Ambrosini said they are wiHing to rethink the colors and graphics and come back with more examples to show durability of design, materials and style if the Commission is willing to accept the basic concept of the signage. Mr. Cotten said the banners would be a distraction to the motorists and cause accidents. Mr. Youngquist said the banners are useful in a setting traversed by pedestrians, not by motorists. Mr. Ambrosini said they are not setting a precedent with Randhurst and that the proposed concept is presently being used at other regional malls. Mr. Floros said color preference is a personal opinion and that it is difficult to get a consensus from everybody. He said that he is reluctant to reject a proposal like this and said that he admires and applauds management for trying to do something a Iittle different. He indicated that the mali's existing signage is not attractive and he applauded the mall for trying to produce a refreshing look. He noted that one single style would most likely not be liked by everyone and said that he is not concerned with regards to the durability of the signage because the mall would update the signage again in the future if necessary. He noted that although the signage does not meet the Village's current regulations, the mall is in need of improvement and he supports their efforts. Ms. Juracek noted her support for the size of the banners, but was more concerned with the proposed graphics. Mr. Floras suggested that opinions would vary greatly with regards to the proposed colors and graphic. Matt Sledz said he liked the banners and questioned whether designing graphics for Randhurst's corporate image is the purview of the Commission. He said that what the Commission should be deciding is ¡fturning the water tower into the sign is appropriate and suggested that attempting a design by committee approach would be a great disservice to Randhurst and the Commission. Mr. Gershon said the water tower is already a sign because the name "Randhurst" is prominently displayed on it. Ms. Juracek noted that the Commission has not even discussed the lighting aspect of the request for an amendment to the PUD. She suggested polling each member for an opinion on the signage so the petitioners would be able to take those opinions into consideration as they put forth the second part of their request. Matt Sledz said he could support the proposal except for the water tower proponent Leo Floros said he would support the proposal. Keith Youngquist said he was against the green color on the water tower and the graphics proposal. Mr. Cotten noted that he would support the program if the mall believes the proposed package is desirable. Mr. Rogers said he does not agree with the graphics and could not support the 24' banners, but he would not object to single banners at a reasonable height. Ms. Juracek said she liked the concept although she has some issues with the graphics, and would vote to move this on to the Village Board because they are likely to get involved in the design as well. She said she heard two potential "no" votes to this proposaL Mr. Gershon said this is a critical issue for the shopping center and asked whether it was possible to temporarily table the discussion to discuss the Commission's comments, and allow the Commission to hear other cases before returning to this case. Ms. Juracek granted a recess to the hearing at 9:30 p,m. At 10:26 p.m., the hearing for PZ-13-04 resumed. Planning & Zoning Commission Arlene Juracek, Chairperson PZ-13-04 Page 5 Mr. Gershon said the light standard they are proposing is currently being put into place in the Costco parking lot. At the time Costco was being planned, Village Board asked why Randhurst wasn't modernizing all of the parking Jot the fighting so it would be consistent with Costco's lighting. Mr, Gershon said the management at that time could not afford the expenditure. The new management is willing to expend this amount for lighting in order to have a consistent standard throughout the center. Mr. Youngquist asked what was the timetable for the lighting. Mr. Gershon said it would be done in three phases. Mr. Rogers said he could support the Iighting with the exception of the up lighting. Ms. Juracek said she was satisfied that the uplighting would be angled to the top of the banner and thus stopped by the banner. Ann Kustner Haser, 900 Isabella, Evanston, was sworn in and testified the new sources of uplighting are so compact they afford much tighter optics and can be better tailored and controlled to avoid light pollution. She said that every square inch of the banner will not be lit. Mr. Rogers expressed skepticism. Ms, Kustner Haser agreed there are many examples of bad lighting but assured him this project would be controlled, Ms. Juracek and Mr, Jacobs agreed the lighting could be done in a controlled manner. Mr. Ambrosini came forward and said they could use a matte fabric that would absorb all light. Mr. Rogers said any extra effort to avoid light spiHage would be appreciated, Mr, Youngquist said they have the banners worked out but stilI noted concerns with the water tower. Ms. Kustner Haser said they had done photometry on it with a number of different sources and has several options for controlling light spillage. Mark Gershon said they have respect for the opinion of an the Commission members, but the mall would like to have the sign package in place when Costco is ready to open to attract customers at that time. They are willing to accept a split vote if the Commission decides it must withhold voting on the water tower, Ms. Juracek said the Village Board has the final vote but she appreciates his consideration, She asked if there were any comments from the audience. Robert Habel, 1116 Elmhurst Road, was sworn in, He said that he lives directly across from Randhurst and is concerned with the lighting. He said the lights are on aU night long and his master bedroom faces the lights. He appreciates that Randhurst is attempting to upgrade the center and getting Costco into the mall, but now he will have to endure even brighter lighting, He noted his appreciation of the property owner's efforts to restore the mall. Mr. Cohen stated the parking lights are currently on due to security issues during the current mall construction but indicated the lights be shut off about 112 hour after the closing of stores once all of the mall improvements are completed. Mr, Gershon indicated the proposed light standards are much taller and the lights will not spill into home windows. Ms. Juracek closed the hearing at 10:38. Leo Floros made a motion to recommend that the Village Board approve the requested amendment to the PUD for Randhurst Shopping Center, 999 N. Elmhurst Road, to make changes to signage and lighting as proposed by the Petitioner, but subject to including the conditions listed in the Staff memo.

ELMHURST ROAD (RANDHURST - SIGNAGE & LIGHTING) BACKGROUND A public hearing has been scheduled for the April 22, 2004 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review the application by Rouse-Randhurst, LLC (the "Petitioner") regarding the property located at 999 N. Elmhurst Road (the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner has requested an amendment to the Planned Unit Development for the Randhurst Mall, which requires Conditional Use approval. The amendment includes modifying the signage criteria specific to Randhurst Shopping Center and relief from parking lot lighting regulations for the site. The P&Z hearing was properly noticed in the April 7, 2004 edition of the Journa! Topics Newspaper. In addition, Staff has completed the required written notice to property owners within 2S0-feet and posted a Public Hearing sign on the Subject Property. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The Subject Property is located at the northeast corner of Rand and Elmhurst Roads, between Kensington Road and Euclid A venue, and contains a regional shopping mall with multiple outlots, The Subject Property is zoned B3 Community Shopping PUD and is bordered to the north by single-family residential (Prospect Heights), to the east by the RX Single Family District, to the west by the RX & Rl Single-Family Districts and the B4 Corridor Commercial District, and to the south by the B3 & B4 Commercial Districts and the RX Single Family District. SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL Background - As you may recall, the Village Board approved signage regulations specific to the mall as part of Ordinance 5361 (see attached), The 'Exterior Signage Criteria' was adopted to allow Randhurst some flexibility for exterior signage, subject to Staff approval, that may not otherwise be allowed by the Village's Sign Code. The basis for granting Randhurst the Exterior Signage Criteria stemmed from the fact that Randhurst is a large, regional mall that is a unique property within Mount Prospect and signage permitted for a typical freestanding retail center may not be appropriate for a regional mall. As part of the same zoning case, the Village Board granted relief from parking lot lighting regu lations for the Costco parking lot area. The approved lighting plan exceeds the 2A-foot candle limitation and the light standards (vd1ich includes a dropped lens fixture) measures 43.6' in height. --""""""""""""""""""".'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.W.'.'.'.'.'mm.'.w.'.,.,=c.,.,...,.,.,.,."............,.w.'m.'.'.'.~.~.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.w.w.'.' PZ-13-04 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Apri! 22, 2004 Page 3 Sign Program Request - Following the approval of Ordinance 5361, the Petitioner retained Ambrosini Design to create a complete sign program for the mall. The designer created a signage program that contains signs not included within the existing Randhurst Exterior Signage Criteria (such as freestanding banner structures, a graphic on the water tower, and informational and regulatory signs), Also, in creating these signs it was determined that some of the heights and/or sizes of sign faces permitted within the existing signage criteria were not adequate to display directional information. Therefore, the Petitioner is seeking to amend the Randhurst Exterior Signage Criteria to incorporate other types of signs and to allow for larger sign faces. The Petitioner has prepared a modified signage criteria exhibit that specifically lists the requested changes, The enclosed 11"x 17" booklet i1lustrates the signage concepts that the Petitioner is in the process of finalizing, The booklet also includes a map that identifies proposed locations for each type of sign. The goal of the modified Exterior Signage Criteria for Randhurst MaIl is to allow the mall owners and Village Staff the ability to approve certain types of signage without having to go through the Conditional Use approval process to amend the PUD. However, Staff recommends that the graphic for the 'vvater tower obtain Village Board approval. Parking Lot Lighting Request - The Petitioner would like to extend the 'Costco Líghting Plan' throughout the mall and has submitted a photometric plan that is essentially the same as the previously approved 'Costco Lighting Plan'. The light standards would be the same height and design as those approved for Costco, \vhich were 43,6' tall and included a fixture with a dropped lens. The lighting levels would be the same as the lighting levels approved for Costeo and exceed the 2.4 foot-candles limitation within the Village Code. Review by Other Village Departments - Other departments reviewed the Petitioner's requests and did not object to the lighting orsignage requests, It was noted that footing details will be required as part of the permit review. Also, the banners will need to be maintained in good order and be designed to withstand local winds. Approval Process - The Subject Property is a Planned Unit Development (PUD) in the B-3 Community Shopping District. In order to implement the modified sign regulations and instal! the proposed parking lot lights, the last PUD ordinance (Ord. 5361) must be amended. The PUD amendment process requires a public hearing and recommendation by the Planning & Zoning Commission followed by final review and action by the Vilíage Board. REQUIRED FINDINGS Conditional Use Standards - Exterior Signage The standards for conditionaillses are listed in Section 14.203.F.ì of the Village Zoning Ordinance, The section contains seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a conditional use. These standards relate to: It The conditional use will not have a detrimental effect on the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare; The conditional use wmnot be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other properties in the vicinity or impede the orderly development ofthose properties; It It Adequate provision of utilities and drainage and design of access and egress to fl1llHmlZe congestion on Village streets; and Compliance of the conditional use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and other ViHage Ordinances, 0 The proposed conditional use would be located within the Randhurst Shopping Center, which is an existing PUD in the B-3 Community Shopping District. The Petitioner proposes to modify the established signage criteria to PZ-13-04 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting April 22, 2004 Page 4 implement a signage program that incJudes elements (signs, banners) similar to those used at other regional shopping malls, The proposal meets the standards for a Conditional Use because the signs would have minimal impact on the adjacent properiies and would enhance the overall appearance of the mall. Also, the proposed signs make it easier for shoppers to navigate the mall parking lot. Variation Standards - Parking Lot Lighting Required findings for all variations are contained in Section 14.203c.9 of the Village of Mount Prospect Zoning Code. The section contains seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a variation. These standards relate to: . A hardship due to the physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of a specific property not generaliy applicable to other properties in the same zoning district and not created by any person presently having an interest in the property; Intent of variation is not to increase financial gain; and It . Protection oftne public welfare, other property, and neighborhood character. The Petitioner's request to permit taller light standards and brighter lights meets the standards for a variation because the light standards would be located in a regional mal!, which is a unique condition, and the area required to be lit to ensure shopper's safety is larger than most parking lots in Mount Prospect. The proposed lights would 110t adversely impact the public welfare and could be designed so the lights would be angled away from the existing residential development to the east of the Subject Property so as to have a minima! impact on the neighborhood character. RECOMMENDA TION Based on the above analysis, the proposed Exterior Signage Criteria and relief from zoning regulations for parking lot lighting complies with the Conditional Use and Variation standards established by the Zoning Ordinance. Based on this analysis, Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that Village Board approve the proposed Exterior Signage Criteria and parking lot lighting plan subject to: I) Development of the Randhurst Sign Program in conformance with the schematic design presentation booklet prepared by Ambrosini Design, dated March 9, 2004, subject to: a. The size and number of signs not exceeding the details/dimensions listed in the booklet; b. The Village Board shall review and approve the final graphic design for the water tower and any subsequent changes to this graphic prior to installation; and c. Obtaining final graphic design (images, colors, etc,) approval by the Director of Community Development for all signs except the water tower. 2) Phased implementation of parking lot lighting for the entire mall in conformance with the lighting levels depicted on the photometric plan prepared by T,E, Inc., dated March 2004.

Third Principal Meridian, all in Cook County, Illinois, A-I CHGO2:201S8392.vl SCHEDULE B TO APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL AMENDMENT TO RANDHURST B-3 PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY OF ACTIONS REQUESTED Summary The Applicant, Rouse-Randhurst Shopping Center, LLC, hereby requests that the Village approve a PUD Amendment to the Randhurst B-3 Planned Unit Development as identified in this Application and the plans, documentation and other infonnation submitted as part of this application (collectively the "PUD Amendment"). The proposed PUD Amendment would modify the Signage Criteria approved pursuant to Village Ordinance 5361 and provide for a dramatic new signage package for the entire center, including freestanding banners, directional, infonnational and regulatory signage, modification of the existing privately owned water tower to enhance its benefits as a project identifier and new signage and artistic enhancements at certain entrances. The proposed PUD Amendment wiIl expand the new lighting standards, light poles and fixtures, approved by Village Ordinance No. 5361 for the Costco Parking Area, across the western parking areas generally between Costco and the movie theater as identified on the lighting plan to be submitted as part ofthis Application. Standards for Planned Unit Development Approval The response of the Applicant, Rouse-Randhurst Shopping Center, LLC to the Village of Mount Prospect's standards for a conditional use for an amendment to the B-3 District Planned Unit Development and for a Planned Unit Development with exceptions to Village Code requirements for Randhurst are provided below and are intended to be supplemented by plans, other submissions and testimony presented to the Village. Section 14.504(C)(1): That any reduction in the requirements of this chapter is in the public interest; Section 14.203(F)(8)(a): That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the conditional use will not be detrimental to, or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare; Randhurst has been a critical part of this community for approximately 39 years as the largest generator of combined sales and real estate tax revenue within the Village. Randhurst has during that period also enhanced the development and commercial viability of other Village revenue-generating enterprises located near Randhurst. Maintaining and increasing these revenues are vital to the public interest in order to ensure the ability of municipal and other governmental services to protect the public health, safety, morals, comfort and general welfare. The proposed improvements will enhance the image, safety, marketability and identifiability of Randhurst which, in turn, improves the economic -CHG02:20158397.v3 '.'.'.'.'.w.'.'.-.'.'.'.,=,.'.""','.,.-.,.".,.,.,....."""""""""""~"'-""'-"':""="""."""'=.'.'.'.'... ~>..... '.'.'.-.W.'.'.'.-.'.'.'.'.'m.-.'.,...,.,.,.",.,.,.,.,."""""""""""""""".>.W.'.'...-mm.-.'.'._~...'.'. viability of Randhurst and its inherent benefits to the community by attracting sound and stable.. commercial. growth within Randhurst and surrounding properties. The proposed improvements meet or exceed standards set by existing improvements at the retail center and are in the public interest. Section 14.504(C)(2): That the proposed exceptions would not adversely impact the value or use of any other property; Section 14.203(F)(8)(b}: That the conditional use will notbe injurious to the uses and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already pennitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood in which it is to be located; By improving and upgrading the. existing signage . and lighting at Randhurst Shopping Center, the pun Amendment will benefit the use and enjoyment of other properties in the immediate vicinity. The proposed improvements to sign age, lighting and other aesthetic improvements do not change any existing uses, but enhance the attractiveness of the mall which benefits the value of nearby PrQpertiesand the neighborhood in which it. is located. The proposed lighting improvements are consistent with those previously approved by the Village for Costco and the new entry/retail improvements. We anticipate . that the improvements will enhance the value of this area by helping to secure the economic viability and stability of Randhurst, while at the same time improving revenues to the Village, schools and other entities which serve the area in which Randhurst is located. Section 14.504(C)(3): That such exceptions are solely for the purpose of promoting better development which will be beneficial to the residents or occupants of the planned unit development as well as those of the suITounding properties; Section 14.203(F)(8)(c): That the establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses pennitted in the district; During its approximately 39 year history, the area surrounding Randhurst has seen significant development and improvement. Asa continuation of retail uses at Randhurst, the pun Amendment should have no adverse impact on the normal and ordered development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. The pun Amendment enhances signage and lighting and promotes better development in the areaoTheretail occupants within thePUD will benefit from enhanced location identity and the resulting draw of additional customers to a more attractive shopping area as well as. increased safety and. aesthetics from the improved lighting program. These improvements -cHGO2:20158397.v3 are part of an overall marketing program aimed at enhancing Randhurst and its benefits to the community.

JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER WILLIAM J. COONEY JR., DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FROM: DATE: MAY 13, 2004 RANDHURST LIGHTING - FOLLOW UP INFORMATION SUBJECT: Attached to this memorandum is the petitioner's response to several questions that were raised by the Village Board at their May 4th meeting relating to the proposed design of the parking lot lights for Randhurst Shopping Center, In addition, I have attached written excerpts from the August 5, 2003 Village Board meeting (Costco petition) that are pertinent to the discussion on lighting at Randhurst. I would note that the proposed design of the light fixtures complies with our lighting regulations since it is considered a full cutoff fixture that has no measurable light emission above horizontal. In addition, the proposed lighting plan meets the minimum alJowed lighting level at all property lines (.5 foot- candles). The height of the poles and the highest measured foot-candle level (4.3) exceed our code but would be consistent with what was approved as part of the Costco proposal. Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their meeting on May 18th, Staff will be present at that meeting to further discuss this matter. ~!: 1o~ t ..""""",'n,.,n.n.",."..~",wn".""',','~,','m,'m,',',','. RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS RAISED AT MAY 4~ 2004 VILLAGE BOARD MEETING The Randhurst Project Team appreciates the benefits which our partnership with the Village of Mount Prospect, and specifically with the Village Board, continues to bring to the revitalization of Randhurst. We respect the concerns raised at the Village Board Meeting and welcome the opportunity to respond to your questions: A. What lighting was approved with the Costco PUD Amendment? Village Ordinance No. 5361 approved Photometric Plan SE-l which included the specifications and a diagram of the same dropped light fixture now proposed for the remainder of Randhurst. The Planning & Zoning Committee specifically decided not to require a change from the proposed dropped lens fixture to a recessed light fixture. The Village Staff confirmed for the Board that the proposed ordinance therefore did not require that the proposed dropped lens fixture be changed. B. Is the fixture a cutoff fixture? Yes. The proposed fixture has no measurable light emission above horizontal and therefore meets the definition of a full cutoff fixture as described in the Outdoor Lighting Regulations of Mount Prospect. In addition to the above it is a highly efficient fixture whose optics will allow us to meet or exceed all mandated light trespass limitations. Co What are the light levels and fixtures in other similar locations? A survey of surrounding locations shows that the proposed new lighting layout foot candle levels are lower than the levels at the following locatîons- -Menards (Mount Prospect) - which has a dropped lens fixture. -Walmart (Mount Prospect) - which has a very similar fixture throughout the main areas of the parking lot. Flat glass in fixtures near the public street. -Old Orchard Shopping Center (Skokie) - Similar fixture to proposed. -Edens Plaza- (Wilmette) - Similar fixture to proposed. -Costco (Glenview) - Same fixture as proposed. -Of particular note-Mount Prospect Plaza (Mount Prospect) - which uses a flat glass full cutoff fixture, has a lighting layout that produces a very dark uneven parking lot that has the worst maximum to minimum foot candle ratio of the parking lots visited. See Matrix. -CHGO2:20167498.vl D. Where else is the proposed fixture used? The proposed fixture is used throughoutthe United States.

The Planning and Zoning Commission met on July 24th and unanimously recommended approval of the proposal. The one item that there was a staff recommendation on the lighting, to have recessed lighting versus the proposal that the style of lighting that Randhurst is proposing, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that that staff recommendation be taken out of the ordinance. So that was taken out of the ordinance as proposed. Peter Kahn. Costco Real Estate Development Manaecr (Responding to Trustee Corcoran),.. but where I guess I disagree is that we can with the lighting plan that we proposed we feel that we can do that and actually do it more efficiently with the larger poles that means we need less poles and the way the lighting plan is designed and is our standard is that we, our expectation and our mechanical engineer when they design our lighting plans, you know they're instructed to have no spillage outside the property line. And it's our goal to have, ifthe city staff goes to the property line at any Costco in a neighbor's yard it should be at zero at the property line. Where aU our lights are contained on the parking lot and we do that while we use the drop lens, we can use screens and shields within the light box to accomplish that and we certainly plan on doing that here. Trustee Corcoran The drop lens, I'm not an expert in lighting and I don't pretend to be, so my understanding of the drop lens is beyond the shields that stop it at the property line is that it allows light reflection, noise, light noise up. That a full cut-off fixture, it will not. You know what, I guess I don't want to grind this into the dust tonight. IfI got your gentlemen's agreement that we could come to a mutual agreement on this, that would be fine for me, but that's not going to stop me from approving this tonight, but I do consider it to be an important issue because you fly over certain towns they have very strict laws about what they can and can't do. I think Kansas City is one of those. And so I would use their model, and I might be wrong on that city, it's the first thing that came to mind, but I would like to use that model of energy usage and light usage in this particular case, Peter Kahn I have no problem agreeing with you that we will do whatever we can to minimize the amount of light that spills off the site horizontally or vertically. Okay, not a problem. c.-m..........-.w.-.-.'.-.-.".,.,.",.,.,.,.,...,."..,...,...........'.-.........c.... Testimony of Trustee Hoefe.rt In reference to the lighting, ¡hate. to keep saying that! agree with Trustee Corcoran, but I agree with Trustee Corcoran in the sense that you know lighting and especiaHy in a town like ours where there's a lot of things going on like Menards and Costco and this and that, lots of lighting at night, and in fact Menards I think did a pretty nice job, when you drive by there at night you know, if you've driven by a Menards store, but it's subtle, it's effective, but it doesn't glare at you. And I'm not saying that you have to do it their way, but Ithink that was a nice model in my mind and I trust you to be very sensitive to that. I know you are trying to create awareness, we're here, the mall .is here, and lights tend to do that, but we also don't want to spill out into all directions which I know we have ordinances to cover that, but sometimes I don't think the ordinances actually really accomplish it in totality, NOTE (There was no. further discussion of lighting as part of the vote to approve the ordinances.)
