Maple St.4/10/2019 BoardDocs® Pro Agenda Item Details Meeting Apr 03, 2019 - REGULAR MEETING OF THE MOUNT PROSPECT VILLAGE BOARD - 7:00 p.m. - REVISED Category 7. NEW BUSINESS Subject 7.1 PZ -20-18 / Maple Street Lofts / Nicholas & Associates / 1st reading of an ORDINANCE GRANTING A PLAT OF SUBDIVISION, ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS, AND CONDITIONAL USE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 301 S. MAPLE STREET, 215 E. PROSPECT AVENUE, 225-235 E. PROSPECT AVENUE, AND 232-240 E. LINCOLN STREET Access Public Type Action Preferred Date Apr 03, 2019 Absolute Date Apr 03, 2019 Fiscal Impact No Budgeted No Recommended Action Approval of a plat of subdivision, zoning map amendment to B -5C Central Commercial Core, zoning map amendment to B-5 Central Commercial, and a conditional use for a final planned unit development, subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. Public Content Information The Petitioner, Nicholas & Associates, proposes to redevelop one of the Village's prime downtown sites located at the southeast corner of Maple Street and Prospect Avenue, known as the Maple Street Lofts. Historically, the property contained a woodworking manufacturer, Parenti & Raffaelli Ltd. (Parenti), which was relocated into the Kensington Business Center in 2018, freeing the site for redevelopment. The Petitioner proposes to construct a private road network, a new mixed-use building containing more than 14,000 square feet of retail space and 192 rental units, a multi -family building containing 65 rental units, and nine principal structures containing 56 rowhome dwelling units. The Petitioner is seeking approval of a plat of subdivision, two zoning map amendments, and a conditional use for a final planned unit development. Subject Property History The property is zoned P-1 Off Street Parking and I-1 Limited Industrial and contains a Village -owned commuter parking lot (Maple Street Commuter Lot) which provides 285 resident -only commuter parking stalls, an unimproved gravel lot on the former Parenti site, and an office condominium building. Parenti operated their woodworking facility on the Subject Property for several decades. While they were, and continue to be, a very successful business, the location along Prospect Avenue in the heart of the downtown district was not ideal for an industrial use. The Village had several meetings with Parenti to discuss relocating their operation to other more appropriate locations in the Village, but was ultimately unable to structure a deal that worked. The Petitioner intervened and negotiated a relocation and expansion plan for Parenti at 1401 Feehanville Drive. The Village assisted in the Parenti relocation by pledging $3 million in tax increment financing (TIF) funds in 2018, keeping Parenti and their 100 employees in the Village and opening up the Subject Property for redevelopment. https://www.boarddocs.com/il/vomp/Board.nsf/Private?open&login# 1/6 4/10/2019 BoardDocs® Pro The proposal includes a 6 -story, mixed-use building ("Building A") containing 192 apartments and more than 14,000 square feet of retail space, a 7 -story, 65 unit apartment building ("Building D"), a public parking garage ("Maple Street Parking Deck") containing 268 parking spaces, 9 principal structures containing 56 rowhomes, and a private road network consisting of Dawson Drive, Elm Street, and Elm Court. Elm Street is a proposed north -south street that connects Prospect Avenue to Lincoln Street. Dawson Drive is a proposed east -west drive that connects Maple Street to the proposed Elm Street. Elm Court is a private court serving the proposed rear -load rowhomes that is accessible off of the proposed Elm Street. Building A would measure 84'-10" tall. As a loft -style building, it incorporates many classic conversion details into its design. The building reads as a heavy masonry building with smaller punched openings for windows, much like one would see in a major city center during the mid -1900s. The design gradually changes from a traditional masonry product as the building extends upwards, with brick transitioning to expose large, expansive windows in the upper corners of the building, along with steel and metal panel materials. The top floor of the building appears to float above the "historic" masonry building and ties the corners into the entire building's highest story. To complete the design, the building features hanging metal balconies that are tied back into the building with angled tie backs. It includes a 15,000 square foot outdoor amenity space, located on the second level above the building's parking garage, with a pool, kitchen, puppy park with synthetic grass, fire table with lounge chairs, ping pong tables, bag toss, pool -side lounge chairs, a hot tub, and cabanas. It also includes a more than 3,000 square foot indoor amenity space. Building A will have a total of 245 parking deck spaces for residents and 192 dwelling units. The residential component includes a mix of studio, one and two bedroom apartments. Note the parking deck for Building A is completely separate from the proposed Maple Street Parking Deck. Building D would measure 86'-4" tall. Building D is also a loft -style building, but it has a different design theory. It begins as a solid masonry building with punched openings like Building A, but instead of exposing the building corners, this design applies "wood" elements. These corner elements are taller than the rest of the building and have recessed terraces, unlike the Building A design that uses projected balconies. In addition, in the areas where metal panel was used on Building A, cementitious panel is proposed in Building D. A series of cementitious panel bump -outs are proposed from the body of the masonry base. Building D is meant to appear as if these design elements were added onto the original building. The proposed 2,000 square foot terrace on the second floor is attractively contained with metal railings to match those of the balconies and terraces. The proposed Building D will also feature a more than 2,200 square foot indoor amenity space and residents of the building will have access to all the amenities located in Building A. Building D will have 65 parking deck spaces, found on the lower level and first floor of the building, and 65 dwelling units. The unit mix for Building D includes studios, one and two bedroom rental units. Thirteen parking stalls will be reserved in the Building A's parking deck to ensure adequate covered parking exists for the residents of Building D. The combined 310 spaces and 257 dwelling units in Buildings A and D result in a 1.21 parking stall per dwelling unit ratio. Village Code requires 282 stalls to be provided. Thirteen stalls in Building A will be reserved for tenants in Building D to ensure residents of that building have sufficient parking available. The overall rental unit mix for the project (Buildings A and D) includes 43 studio apartments, 164 one bedroom apartments, and 50 two bedroom apartments. The proposed Maple Street Parking Deck would measure 25'-6" tall. It is proposed to be made of the same brick style as found on Building A. The proposed parking deck would have cast stone accents, steel guardrails with planter boxes, and accent light fixtures. The deck would contain 268 parking stalls. Of the 268 proposed parking deck stalls, 222 would be reserved for Mount Prospect resident -only commuters. After 63 existing parking stalls on Prospect Avenue are reserved for resident -only commuters, a total of 285 resident commuter stalls will be provided south of the tracks (matching existing conditions). The front -load rowhomes would be 34'-9.25" tall and the rear -load rowhomes would be 32'-10" tall. The buildings would consist of brick masonry on all four sides and have a flat roof look (though they pitch slightly to allow for drainage and ease of construction). The units would be designed so that no two adjacent units in a building would look the same. Each would have different trim colors, window patterns, and the heights of the units will vary as well. A two -car garage and recreation room would be provided on the first floor. The second floors will contain the kitchen, living, and dining areas. Balconies are proposed to be located on the rear of the second floor. Bedrooms are to be located on the third floor. Both front -load and rear -load rowhomes may either be a two bedroom with a study or a three bedroom unit. The Petitioner is responsible for constructing several public improvements as part of this project. Thirty-six (36) diagonal on -street parking spaces are proposed along Maple Street and Prospect Avenue, including three handicapped accessible stalls. These stalls would be available to the public and have an hourly restriction during the work week, and will help serve the proposed retail included in Building A. Additionally, 21 privately -owned stalls are provided on site for retail and residential visitors. Village streetscape is proposed to extend from the corner of Maple Street and Prospect Avenue to Elm Street and Dawson Drive, terminating at their intersection in the site. Streetscape https://www.boarddocs.com/il/vomp/Board.nsf/Private?open&login# 2/6 4/10/2019 BoardDocs® Pro improvements are also proposed on Prospect Avenue in front of Building D. Planters, a space for public art, seatwalls, an outdoor dining area, and a large metal pergola are proposed along Prospect Avenue. Responses to Public Input The plans reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission at the March 14 Public Hearing, as included in this packet, reflect the latest proposal after numerous revisions were made by the Petitioner based on staff and public input. The Petitioner held open houses in September and October 2018 to provide the surrounding neighborhood an opportunity to give their input prior to the public hearing process. At the open houses and through general correspondence, public feedback has included concerns about the project density, potential market demand for the proposal, traffic issues, economic development and Tax Increment Financing (TIF), and student impact. Density The original proposal featured an 8 -story apartment building ("Building A"), 7 -story apartment building ("Building D"), and 66 rowhomes. The Petitioner reworked their proposal to address concerns raised by residents related to height, school impact, density, and stormwater. The revised concept decreased Building A's height by 2 stories and more than 20 feet, and it decreased the number of proposed rowhomes by 15% (from 66 units to 56 units). The Maple Street Lofts development has a proposed density of 48 units per acre. If approved, the proposed development would rank fifth in density behind 20 West (117 units per acre), Emerson (72 units per acre), the Residences at Village Centre (62 units per acre), and 10 N. Main Street (57 units per acre). Staff believes the proposed density is consistent with existing downtown development. Market A market study provided by the Petitioner shows that the opportunity exists to create additional multi -family development in the northwestern Cook County submarket. Further, Homes for a Changing Region, a collaborative, forward-looking housing report sponsored in 2013 by the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, and the Metropolitan Planning Council discusses the need for additional rental product in Mount Prospect. Specifically, it shows a demand for more than 1,200 additional multi -family units and 350 townhomes in the Village by 2040. Staff believes that sufficient market demand exists for the proposed number of units as no rentals have been built in downtown Mount Prospect for more than 30 years. Traffic Traffic studies completed by both the Village and the Petitioner's consultants show that the existing traffic issues in the area are largely generated by non -vehicle issues such as the presence of non -directional pedestrian push buttons blocking traffic, emergency vehicles at the Mount Prospect Police and Fire Station causing signal interruptions in the downtown, Metra trains blocking downtown train crossings, and a concentration of commuter parking spaces in the Maple Street Commuter Parking Lot. The traffic study provided shows that sufficient gap in the existing road network exists and that the proposal will not decrease levels of service. Additionally, the Village is working to resolve all the noted non -vehicle issues at this time. Student Impact The Petitioner provided student generation numbers for the project. The Petitioner utilized the School Consulting Services' 1996 model of the Chicago Metropolitan Area when estimating student generation. This model is widely accepted and used by both developers and school districts when estimating student generation from new development. Per the model, the generation multiplier is based on the type of dwelling unit (apartment, attached single family, etc.) and the number of bedrooms provided. The model predicts that the proposed development would generate 24.4 children. The apartments (Buildings A and D combined) are projected to generate approximately 9 children, and the rowhomes are projected to generate approximately 15. The low generation number for the apartments is due to the proposed unit mix. Of the 257 proposed rental units, only 50 will have a second bedroom. The remaining 207 units consist of a mix of studio and one -bedroom units. The model's multiplier for potential children increases as the number of bedrooms provided increases. State of Illinois TIF statutes require the Village pay all applicable school districts an annual payment for students generated by housing developments located in the TIF district, with a cap of 40% of the annual increment generated by the project. The payment is equal to the average cost the district incurs to educate each pupil, and uses actual enrollment numbers (not estimates), therefore school districts are made whole for the cost of educating any students generated by this project. Stormwater Management The Subject Property is nearly completely impervious at this time. The existing Maple Street commuter lot, 301 S. Maple Street, is paved to provide parking. The former Parenti & Raffaelli site (215 E. Prospect and 225-235 E. Prospect) is an impervious gravel lot. An industrial condominium surrounded by an asphalt parking lot that extends to three out of four property lines sits on 232-240 E. Lincoln Street. Stormwater on site sheet drains onto adjacent properties and right-of-way, ultimately ending up in the combined sewer, as no engineered system is in place. https://www.boarddocs.com/il/vomp/Board.nsf/Private?open&login# 3/6 4/10/2019 BoardDocs® Pro Site stormwater is proposed to be collected and contained in multiple chambers that are to be buried below privately - owned Elm Street and the open space area in the center of the proposed rowhome development. The contained system will then be restricted and flow east underground along Lincoln Street right-of-way, ultimately terminating into an existing stormwater system located in Lions park. The engineered system will not tap into the existing combined sewer system, and will function more effectively than current conditions. Zoning and Village Planning Documents The proposed redevelopment will be consistent with surrounding zoning and land uses found to the north and west. The Subject Property borders the B-5 Central Commercial District to the west and an R-3 Low Density Residential PUD across the railroad tracks to the north. A B -5C Central Commercial Core PUD is kitty-corner from the development across the railroad tracks as well. Townhomes border the project to the west and a multi -family development exists on the block immediately east of the Subject Property. The proposal is consistent with Village long range plans and the Village's Strategic Plan. The Village's Downtown Implementation Plan recommended a multi -building redevelopment proposal consisting of several apartment buildings, a parking deck, and a mixed use building at the corner of Prospect Avenue and Maple Street as one option for the redevelopment of this property. The Village's Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 2017, calls for the property to be part of the downtown and to allow for a mix of uses on site. The Subject Property's redevelopment is listed as a top priority in the Village's Strategic Plan. Additionally, the attached plans include a market study submitted by the petitioner, which discusses the demand for rental apartments within the Northwest Cook County submarket. Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting The Planning and Zoning Commission considered the case at the Public Hearing held on March 14, 2019. Many groups and individuals spoke at the meeting both for and against the project. Those that spoke against the project voiced concerns over commuter parking, the parking ratio for potential apartment residents, traffic in the surrounding area, student impact, density, TIF impact, building heights, stormwater, and emergency service capabilities. A packet of objector letters and a petition against the project were submitted. Those that spoke in favor of the project believe that the benefits of the project far outweigh any potential costs. The Executive Director of the Mount Prospect Chamber of Commerce and the President of the Mount Prospect Downtown Merchants Association authored a joint letter in support of the project, stating that density and residents are necessary to support existing businesses and the kind of businesses younger residents expect in their downtown. A group of 14 downtown business owners authored a letter in support of the project as well. The group believes that the development will grow existing businesses and expand customer bases. They believe that the proposed development is a welcome change on what was once an industrial woodworking site and that the development will complement the other businesses and townhomes immediately adjacent to this site. Several other letters of support and a signed petition in support of this project were also submitted. Two Planning and Zoning Commissioners voiced concerns about the project, citing potential traffic and school impacts. Another commissioner gave a statement in support of the development, believing it is a vast improvement over prior uses and that approving the development is in the best interest of the Village. None of staff's recommended conditions of approval were altered during the motion process. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approving the Petitioner's plat, zoning map amendment, and conditional use requests by a vote of 5-2, subject to the conditions in the staff report. Alternatives 1."To approve: 1. A plat of subdivision titled "Final Plat of Planned Unit Development Maple Street Lofts"; 2.

The document must address long-term site maintenance, including snow removal and paving." 2. Action at discretion of the Village Board. Staff Recommendation Staff is supportive of the proposed plat, zoning map amendment, and conditional use requests. The proposal is supported by several long-range planning documents, including the Downtown Implementation Plan, the Village's Comprehensive Plan, and the Homes for a Changing Region report. The proposed amendments are consistent with the trend of development in the general area. Several multi -story apartment buildings are located to the north, west, and east of the Subject Property and attached single family uses exist to the west. Properties located to the north are zoned B5 Central Commercial and B5 Central Commercial Core and the property borders the Metra tracks to the north. The proposed conditional use will be located in the downtown area of the Village, on a site currently vacant with little or no landscaping and a paved commuter parking lot. The proposed development adds a development of attractive, high-value, and well -landscaped mixed-use apartment buildings and attached single-family dwelling units to the downtown area. The development will have a positive effect on nearby properties, support businesses, and stimulate investment in the general area. The increased landscape and proposed stormwater system will greatly improve current drainage conditions for the site. Village staff recommends that the Village Board approve the plat, zoning map amendment, and conditional use requests, subject to the conditions noted above. The Board will review a Redevelopment Agreement with the developer at the April 16 Village Board meeting. The Redevelopment Agreement will specify performance requirements for the Village and Developer, including requested TIF assistance for construction of a commuter parking deck, stormwater improvements and waiver of certain permit and inspection fees.

SHALLCROSS, AICP, DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PLANNER DATE: MARCH 7, 2019 HEARING DATE: MARCH 14, 2019 SUBJECT: PZ -20-18 / 301 S. MAPLE STREET, 215 E. PROSPECT AVENUE, 225-235 E. PROSPECT AVENUE, AND 232-240 E. LINCOLN STREET / PLAT, ZONING MAP AMENDMENT, AND CONDITIONAL USE BACKGROUND A public hearing has been scheduled for the March 14, 2019 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review the application by Nicholas & Associates (the "Petitioner"), regarding the property located at 301 S. Maple Street, 215. E. Prospect Avenue, 225-235 E. Prospect Avenue, and 232-240 E. Lincoln Street (the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner is seeking a plat of subdivision, zoning map amendment, and a conditional use for a final planned unit development (PUD). The P&Z Commission hearing was properly noticed in the February 27, 2019 edition of the Daily Herald newspaper. In addition, the Petitioner completed the required written notice to property owners within 250 -feet and staff posted public hearing signs on the Subject Property. In addition to the required residents to be noticed, the Petitioner notified property owners in the area generally bound by Main Street, Evergreen Avenue, William Street, and Council Trail. A maintained list of interested parties with concerns about the project were also notified of the hearing. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The Subject Property is generally defined as the western half of the block bound by Maple Street, Prospect Avenue, School Street, and Lincoln Street. Existing improvements include full access onto Maple Street, Prospect Avenue, and Lincoln Street. The western half of the Subject Property is zoned P-1 Off Street Parking and is currently a Village owned resident -only commuter parking lot consisting of 285 stalls. The eastern half of the Subject Property consists of a vacant gravel lot and a small industrial center. The vacant gravel lot is the former Parenti & Raffaelli Ltd. (Parenti) location, which operated an industrial woodworking facility on the site from 1988 until 2018. Both the former Parenti site and the immediately adjacent industrial center are zoned I-1 Limited Industrial. The Subject Property is bordered by the B-5 Central Commercial, P-1 Off Street Parking, and R-1 Single Family Residential Districts to the west, the Metra train tracks to the north, the I-1 Limited Industrial District to the east, and the C-R Conservation Recreation District to the south. HISTORY As stated above, Parenti & Raffaelli Ltd. operated their woodworking facility on the Subject Property for several decades. While they were, and continue to be, a very successful business, the location along Prospect Avenue in the heart of the downtown district was not ideal for an industrial use. The Village had several meetings with Parenti to discuss relocating their operation to other more appropriate locations in the Village, but was ultimately unable to structure a deal that worked. The Petitioner intervened and negotiated a relocation and expansion plan for Parenti at 1401 Feehanville Drive. The Village assisted in the Parenti relocation by pledging $3 million in tax increment financing (TIF) funds in 2018, keeping Parenti and their 100 employees in the Village and opening up the Subject Property for redevelopment. PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 3 SUMMARY OF ORIGINAL PROPOSAL The original proposal featured an eight story apartment building ("Building A"), seven story apartment building ("Building D"), and 66 rowhomes. The Petitioner held two open houses in September and October of 2018 and reworked their proposal to address concerns raised by residents related to height, school impact, and density. SUMMARY OF REVISED PROPOSAL The Petitioner substantially revised their initial proposal to address the concerns raised at the open houses. Building A's height was reduced from eight stories to six, the number of rowhomes was reduced from 66 units to 56, and an interior court complete with open space is now provided. The rowhome portion of the project was redesigned to provide street frontages on Maple Street, Lincoln Street, Elm Street, and Dawson Drive. Dawson Drive, Elm Street, and Elm Court are new private roads. Elm Court provides access to the rear -load rowhomes. The easternmost rowhomes are now a frontloaded design, allowing for greenspace behind the units. Building materials for Buildings A, D, and the rowhomes have been substantially revised to include more masonry and to provide quality materials consistent with existing downtown buildings. Plat of Subdivision The Subject Property is made up of five separate parcels and a condominium subdivision. To achieve the final design of the proposed development, a plat of subdivision is required. The parcels on the property will be resubdivided to achieve the following: 1. The proposed Lot 1 will contain apartment buildings "A" and "D", Dawson Drive, a portion of Elm Street, and be privately held 2. The proposed Lot 2 will contain a new commuter parking deck and be owned by the Village 3. The proposed Lot 3 will contain the proposed fifty-six (56) rowhomes, a portion of Elm Street, Elm Court, and be privately held The proposed lots all have frontages and comply with code requirements. ,Coni lg MiaAmendment. The Subject Property is zoned P-1 Off Street Parking and I-1 Limited Industrial. A zoning map amendment is required as the current zoning for the Subject Property does not allow for residential, commercial, or mixed use development. The Petitioner is seeking for the Subject Property to be rezoned to B -5C Central Commercial Core and B-5 Central Commercial as the property is along the railroad tracks running through the Village's downtown, adjacent to B-5 zoning, and kitty-corner from the B -5C zoning district at Maple Street and Northwest Highway. The northern half of the site would be zoned B -5C Central Commercial Core and the southern half would be zoned B-5 Central Commercial. civ capinent A Planned Unit Development (PUD) is required as multiple buildings are proposed to be located on individual lots. PVDs provide a tool to accommodate development which is in the public interest, provides a public benefit, and which would not otherwise be permitted by the zoning ordinance. A planned unit development may be for residential, commercial, office, industrial, and mixed use development. Site Plan The proposed site plan includes a private road network, two apartment buildings, a commuter parking deck, and 56 rowhomes. The proposed private road network consists of three private roads - Elm Street, Dawson Drive, and Elm Court. Elm Street is a proposed north -south street that connects Prospect Avenue to Lincoln Street. Dawson Drive is a proposed east -west drive that connects Maple Street to the proposed Elm Street. Elm Court is a private court serving the proposed rear -load rowhomes that is accessible off of the proposed Elm Street. • Building A fronts onto Prospect Avenue, Elm Street and Maple Street. The building's entrance and lobby are located off Maple Street. Vehicular access to the building is provided via Maple Street and a commercial loading bay is provided on Elm Street. PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 4 Building D fronts onto Prospect Avenue and Elm Street. The building has two automobile entrances on Elm Street; the northern entrance serves the first floor parking area and the southern entrance services below -grade parking. The lobby is located off Elm Street. The proposed commuter parking deck fronts onto Maple Street, Elm Street, and Dawson Drive. Vehicular access into the parking deck is provided on both Maple Street and Elm Street. The 56 proposed rowhomes are accessed by Elm Street and Elm Court. The 13 front load rowhomes are accessed off of Elm Street, and the 43 rear load rowhomes are serviced by Elm Court. The court enables the rowhome frontages to face outward onto Maple Street, Dawson Drive, Elm Street, and Lincoln Street. A green space is to be provided in the center of the rear load rowhomes. Several off-site improvements are proposed as part of this project. Stormwater access will be provided via an existing storm sewer located in Lions Park. Sixteen angled, on -street parking stalls are to be constructed on Maple Street, including one accessible stall, and 20 angled, on -street parking stalls are to be provided on Prospect Avenue, including two accessible stalls. These stalls would be available to the public and have an hourly restriction during the work week. The proposed plans include the extension of Village streetscape from the corner of Prospect Avenue and Maple Street to Elm Street and Dawson Drive, terminating at their intersection in the site. Streetscape improvements are also proposed on Prospect Avenue in front of Building D. A plaza space at the northwestern corner of the Subject Property is also provided. Planters are to be set into the streetscape along Prospect Avenue, with a larger planter proposed near the corner of Elm Street and Prospect Avenue as the site's elevation changes. Foundation plantings and a public art space are proposed near the northwest corner of Building A in addition to planters with seat -walls, an outdoor dining space, and a large metal pergola. The proposed streetscape extension and plaza would give the proposal a walkable feel, add to the development's sense of place, and create a community gathering space on the south part of the downtown district. FloorP,l,ans, The floor plans indicate Building A will have a total of 245 parking deck spaces serving 192 dwelling units to be located on the second through sixth floors. The first floor of Building A will have more than 14,000 square feet of commercial retail space, a commercial loading dock, tenant storage, bicycle storage, a garbage room, and a leasing office. The second floor will have a more than 15,000 square foot outdoor amenity space with a pool. An outdoor kitchen, puppy park with synthetic grass, fire table with lounge chairs, ping pong tables, bag toss, pool -side lounge chairs, a hot tub, and cabanas are proposed in addition to the rooftop pool. Finally, an indoor amenity space of more than 3,000 square feet is also planned for the second floor. Building D will have 65 parking deck spaces on the lower level and first floor with 65 dwelling units to be located on the second through seventh floors. An approximately 2,000 square foot roof terrace and more than 2,200 square foot indoor amenity space are proposed for the second floor. The rowhomes will have a two -car garage and recreation room on the first floor. The second floors will contain the kitchen, living, and dining areas. Balconies are proposed to be located on the rear of the second floor. Bedrooms are to be located on the third floor. Both front -load and rear -load rowhomes may either be a two bedroom with a study or a three bedroom unit. In addition to the two -car garages, the front -load rowhomes provide parking for two vehicles in the driveways serving the homes and the rear -load rowhomes provide space for one vehicle to parallel park behind each unit. Prl�ir�g, Buildings A and D have a combined 310 parking spaces and 257 dwelling units, resulting in a 1.21 parking stall per dwelling unit ratio. Village Code requires 282 stalls to be provided. Thirteen parking stalls in Building A will be reserved for tenants in Building D, to ensure that residents of that building have sufficient parking available. Customer parking is provided via 36 diagonal on -street parking spaces along Maple Street and Prospect Avenue, including three handicap accessible stalls. Additionally, 21 privately -owned stalls are provided on site, and street parking is available both on the Subject Property and in the immediate area. PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 5 Commuter Parkirig The current Maple Street commuter lot on the Subject Property provides 285 stalls reserved for Mount Prospect residents. Aside from these stalls, there are 63 on -street commuter parking spaces on Prospect Avenue, which are available on a first come, first serve basis and 283 spaces at the East and West Commuter Lots. Therefore, the total existing commuter parking inventory consists of 631 stalls, with 285 reserved for residents. The Village recently opened 100 commuter parking spaces at the Emerson Street Parking Deck. Fifty of the Emerson Street Parking Deck stalls are reserved for Mount Prospect residents with a 50% discount for those living north of the railroad tracks. The purpose of the discount for northern residents is to discourage them from traveling back and forth over the railroad tracks, reducing traffic in the area. These stalls were made available in February of this year. Two hundred seventy-four (274) resident commuter stalls will be available south of the tracks for the duration of the Maple Street Parking Deck's construction. These spaces will be located in the south half of the existing Maple Street commuter lot, along Prospect Avenue, and in the Lion's Park parking lot. After construction, the overall commuter parking inventory would be increased to 668 parking stalls, with 335 reserved for residents. This inventory includes 222 parking spaces in the proposed Maple Street Parking Deck, 63 spaces on Prospect Avenue, and 50 spaces reserved in the Emerson Street Parking Deck. Existing and proposed conditions are presented in the following table: Table 1: Existing and Propose os+ed Resident Commuter Parkin Exist Durine Construction Construction Parking location i U Resident Only restricted Resident Only nrestr Unrestricted Resident Only Ma le Street lot 285 0 120 0 0 0 Prospect Avenue 0 63 63 0 63 0 Lions Park0 0 91 0 0 0 EmersonStreet Parkin......_. g www....�.�._..�..�_.........._ww....................................._...................................................................................................................... 0 0 50 50 .. 50 _._. 50 Deck Maple Street Parkin...... ing .. ..... ...... 0 ....._...._........... 0 ._�..... 0 ......................._... ...... 0 w........ ..wv....w 222 .._......vw ........�.. ......... 0 Deck �.. Total 285 63 24 50 335 50 The Village plans to regularly monitor the use of the entire commuter parking inventory to determine the final mix of resident commuter stalls in the proposed Maple Street Parking Deck. The proposed 285 resident commuter stalls south of the tracks show no major impact on intersection performance, ultimately allowing us to match the 285 currently provided in the area. Buiildi�lg_l; l ,rlt l Building A is an 84'-10" tall loft -style building that incorporates many classic loft conversion details into the overall design. The building as a whole reads as a heavy masonry building with smaller punched openings for windows, much like one would see in a major city center during the mid -1900s. The design gradually changes from a traditional masonry product as the building extends upwards, with brick transitioning to expose large, expansive windows in the upper corners of the building, along with steel and metal panel materials. The top floor of the building appears to float above the "historic" masonry building and ties the corners into the entire building's highest story. To complete the design, the building features hanging metal balconies that are tied back into the building with angled tie rods. Matching the projecting balconies, the first floor entries are protected with thin horizontal awnings that also have angled tie backs. All of these architectural features combine to make the building look as if an old factory building had been converted into lofts. PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 6 Building D is an 86'-4" tall loft -style building, but it follows a different design theory. It begins as a solid masonry building with punched openings like Building A, but instead of exposing the building corners, this design applies "wood" elements. These corner elements are taller than the rest of the building and have recessed terraces, unlike the Building A design that uses projected balconies. In addition, in the areas where metal panel was used on Building A, cementitious panel is proposed in Building D. The top floor between the four "wood" corner towers is cementitious panel with punched openings. A series of bump -outs are proposed from the body of the masonry base. These bump -outs are clad in cementitious panel. If the concept of Building A is a masonry building that has some carve -outs and an additional floor added to what was a historic building, Building D is meant to appear as if these elements were instead added onto the original building. The proposed terrace on the second floor is attractively contained with metal railings to match those of the balconies and terraces. The rowhomes have a design to match the contemporary, urban nature of Buildings A and D. The front -load product is proposed to be 34'-9.25" tall, while the rear -load product is to be 32'-10" tall. Each unit has a different face -plane to allow for separation, depth, and architectural interest on what else would be a flat facade. Each unit has a unique set of architectural elements and material coloring that set them apart. There are projecting bay window units, flush bay units that project very little, and small punched openings within the all masonry facades. Virtually flat roofs are trimmed with painted cornices, while the windows have masonry accent sills and headers to frame those openings. Unit entries are protected with flat awnings tied back into the building with angled ties. The rowhomes have a water table stone feature that wraps the sides and rear of the buildings with full masonry facades and similar high quality materials on all sides. Metal railings on the front of the buildings match those of the two apartment buildings, while the more private rear yards have a conventional wood railing system. Overall there is potential for stepped foundations to respond to the natural grade change on the site that will further accentuate the individuality of each unit. The proposed three story Maple Street Parking Deck to be used for commuter, visitor, retail, and employee parking is 25'-6" tall. Building materials include stone, steel, and brick to match Building A. Planter boxes are to be built into the guardrails. Access into and out of the deck is provided on both Maple Street and Elm Street. Cr,ra;c,cr,a11;g Significant landscaping will be provided throughout the site. Foundation landscaping will be provided along the western and eastern sides of both buildings A and D and on all exterior sides of the proposed rowhomes. Raised planter beds with seat -walls are proposed at the corner of Maple Street and Prospect Avenue. The planters continue the length of the Subject Property down Prospect Avenue. Movable planters with annual plantings are also proposed along Prospect Avenue and a recessed area on the northern side of Building A will provide a planting area and potential art location. Parkway trees will be provided on Prospect Avenue, Maple Street, and Lincoln Street. An open space is to be provided on the interior greenspace serving the proposed rowhomes. P1 114 Construction phasing will be critical to ensure resident commuters have parking available from groundbreaking to construction completion. Staff understands this necessity and has a commuter parking plan in place to address the issue. A tentative agreement is in place between the Village and the Mount Prospect Park District to secure 91 spaces in the Lions Park parking lot at the southeast corner of Maple Street and Lincoln Street for resident use. Construction of the proposal would occur in five phases: 1. Reserve 63 parking spaces located along the north side of Prospect Avenue for resident only parking; 2. Open 91 spaces in the Lions Park parking lot for resident only parking; 3. Preserve approximately 120 existing Maple Street Lot parking spaces on the south end of the Subject Property for resident only parking; 4. Designate 100 parking spaces in the Emerson Street Parking Deck for commuter parking, reserving 50 spaces for resident commuters; and 5. Eliminate use of the Lions Park and southern surface spaces once the Maple Street Parking Deck is completed, opening the southern portion of the Subject Property for redevelopment. The proposed phasing plan ensures that resident commuters have access to 324 reserved stalls during construction. PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 7 Storm„w,ater The Subject Property is nearly completely impervious at this time. The existing Maple Street commuter lot, 301 S. Maple Street, is paved to provide parking. No landscape islands are present in order to maximize the number of commuter stalls provided. The former Parenti & Raffaelli site (215 E. Prospect and 225-235 E. Prospect) is an impervious gravel lot. An industrial condominium surrounded by an asphalt parking lot that extends to three out of four property lines sits on 232-240 E. Lincoln Street. Stormwater on site sheet drains onto adjacent properties and right-of-way, ultimately ending up in the combined sewer system, as no engineered system is in place. Site stormwater is proposed to be collected and contained in multiple chambers that are to be buried below privately - owned Elm Street and the open space area in the center of the proposed rowhome development. The contained system will then be restricted and flow east underground along Lincoln Street right-of-way, ultimately terminating into an existing stormwater system located in Lions Park. The engineered system will not tap into the existing combined sewer system, and will function more effectively than current conditions. PUBLIC INPUT & RESPONSE Public input has played an integral part in shaping the proposed redevelopment. The Petitioner held two open house meetings in the fall of 2018 to take public comment on the proposal. Taking all of this input into consideration, the Petitioner substantially revised the proposal. The main concerns cited by objectors are related to height and density, market demand, traffic impacts, tax increment financing (TIF) implications, and school district impact. i1y The original proposal included an eight -story, 107' tall Building A, and combined with Building D and the rowhomes for a total of 323 dwelling units. In response to citizen concerns, Building A was reduced to a six -story, 87 foot tall building and the total number of dwelling units was reduced to 313 thanks to a reduction in the number of rowhome units. The proposed 313 dwelling units are located on 6.5 acres, making the proposed density 48.15 dwelling units per acre. Existing and approved project density in the Village of Mount Prospect is listed below: Table 2: Marne Street Lofts Density Coinnarison Project Dwelling Units # Land Area Acres Density Units/Acre 20 West 73_... 0.62 117 Emerson __.._�.......... 54 mmm ... .........._v___.... �.. .75 ...a......a .........._....._.._ 72 ._.............. ........_ Residences at Village Centre .................. 20.5..__a . ......... 3...30 ....._._..... 62 .... 10 N.

Maple Street Lofts has a density of 48 dwelling units per acre (313 dwelling units on 6.5 acres). The proposed development is most similar to the Clocktower development in terms of density. To help prepare our Planning and Zoning Commission and Village Board review redevelopment projects in the downtown, staff prepared a white paper discussing best practices for downtown Mount Prospect, making a technical case for density. It is understandable that residents near key development sites would have anxiety related to concerns for traffic, parking, safety, stormwater, building height, density, and neighborhood character. The attached paper and table on the previous page show that the proposed Maple Street Lofts project is actually less dense than projects approved in the 1980s and 1990s. The forwarded report is fact based with recommendations based on reports, articles, and information from the American Planning Association, Urban Land Institute, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, and other scholarly institutions. PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 8 Market Demand Another concern raised by the general public is potential unit absorption into the market. To address this concern, the Petitioner hired Integra Realty Resources (IRR) to put together a market study. The study provides an overview of the northwest suburban apartment market, analyzes demand for new rental apartment units at the Subject Property, and determines the projected renter profile. Further, it surveys current and proposed apartment developments in the region and critiques the proposal in terms of unit mix, unit sizes, finishes, and amenities. Finally, it provides conclusions regarding rent levels and absorption. Highlights of the report are presented below. Key information discussed in the market study is that no new apartment development took place in the 1990s or early 2000s in northwestern Cook County. It wasn't until 60 units were constructed in Des Plaines in 2011 that any new rental product was added since the 1980s. Development in the region has increased significantly over the last two years, with 315 units delivered in 2018 and a little more than 1,000 under construction for delivery in 2019+. The lack of newer product in the northwest Cook County submarket had been more a function of lack of suitable development sites rather than submarket economics as the area was one of the first built out in the greater Chicago metropolitan statistical area (MSA). The market study shows that the proposed units will be facing increasing competition in the overall market area as there are several projects which are under construction in Mount Prospect, Des Plaines, and Wheeling. In addition, there is a growing pipeline of proposed projects which have not yet broken ground but which are in varying stages of the entitlement, design, and financing process. Integra Realty Resources — Chicago has been surveying the lease - up pace in all of the new suburban apartment projects in the Chicago MSA. Overall, since 2013, projects have been leasing up an average pace of 12 units per month. Given the phased nature of the proposal, IRR is projecting a lease - up of the property within approximately two years. A two-year lease -up is consistent with the lease -up of other buildings in the market. Further illustrating the demand for new Class A rental property in the northwestern Cook County submarket is that Class A product is currently at almost 95% occupancy. It was over 96% in 2016, but new product has since been added to the market. Class A rental property refers to product built since the 1990s that includes a significant amount of amenities. Most commonly provided items include open floor plans, nine foot ceilings, an in -unit washer and dryer, high quality cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, direct entry garages, clubhouses, fitness centers, and swimming pools. Building A will offer all of these amenities, and residents of Building D will have access to the amenities provided in Building A. The market study concludes that although an average of 1,200 units have been delivered per year in the Chicago suburban market since 1996, demand and opportunities exist to create additional rental product. The biggest hurdle for these types of projects remains securing large enough sites suitable for development, and obtaining the necessary zoning approvals in light of general community opposition to rental development. For these reasons, development is shifting to more high-density sites, potentially in redeveloping downtown markets as transit -oriented developments. In addition to the market study by Integra Realty Resources, Homes for a Changing Region, a collaborative, forward-looking housing report sponsored in 2013 by the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), and the Metropolitan Planning Council (MPC) discusses the need for additional rental product in Mount Prospect. Specifically, it shows a demand for more than 1,200 multi -family units and 350 townhomes in the Village by 2040. The report concludes that the Village faces the challenge of continuing to provide a diverse array of housing options consistent with its local character in the face of limited capacity for growth. Further, the report states that demand across all income levels and in a number of key demographics (seniors and young working -age households in particular) offers the chance to further the Village's downtown redevelopment efforts. The report recommends to embrace a mix of recommendations designed to maintain the current housing stock while furthering redevelopment in key locations. The proposed Maple Street Lofts development achieves these goals and objectives while providing a high-quality product consistent with the Village's character. PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 9 Traffic Studies„ andImprovements The potential for increased area traffic is a chief concern among residents due in part to existing traffic issues. To study potential traffic impacts, the Petitioner hired Kenig, Lindgren, O'Hara, Aboona, Inc. (KLOA) to perform a full traffic analysis. The report finds that peak -time traffic congestion in the downtown area is primarily attributable to the at -grade rail crossings at IL Route 83 (Main Street) and Emerson Street which are regularly blocked by Metra commuter trains, not a shortage of network capacity. Furthermore, traffic congestion is exacerbated by traffic signal preemption of emergency vehicles departing the Mount Prospect Police and Fire Station and pedestrian push buttons that stop traffic in both directions when activated. The report makes several short and long-term recommendations for the Village to consider to improve traffic levels of service in the area. Because traffic issues are created by non -vehicle related issues (train crossings, signal preemption of emergency vehicles, and pedestrian push button phasing), the capacity analysis indicates that the traffic estimated to be generated by the proposed development would have a minimal impact on the operations of adjacent intersections and existing levels of service. The report makes several area improvement recommendations including the following: 1. Installation of directional pedestrian push buttons at signalized intersections, separated for each leg of the intersection 2. Relocation of Mount Prospect Police and Fire Station to eliminate the signal interruption caused by emergency vehicles 3. Coordination with Metra Train Engineers to adjust where trains stop along the tracks, allowing the gates to open in certain conditions 4. Relocation of Permit Parking Spaces from the Maple Street Commuter Parking Lot to the Emerson Street Parking Deck The Village is working toward achieving all of these proposed improvements in order to decrease unnecessary downtown traffic. Directional pedestrian push buttons will be installed in the near future, the Village is in the process of relocating Mount Prospect Police and Fire operations, Village staff has met with Metra staff in an effort to minimize train blockages, and the proposed redevelopment reduces the number of permit parking spaces south of the tracks by 63. As previously explained, the gross number of resident -only commuter spaces on the Subject Property would be reduced from the existing 285 to 222. However, the 63 first-come, first -serve commuter spots currently available to all commuters would be reserved for resident commuters, bringing the final number of resident commuter stalls to 285 south of the tracks, which is consistent with the current number of resident commuter spaces provided south of the tracks. 100 commuter spaces were recently opened in the Emerson Street Parking Deck, with 50 reserved for resident commuters. Allocating 50 spaces in the Emerson Street Parking Deck for resident commuters will further improve intersection performance as northern residents now no longer need to cross the train tracks twice each day. The report by KLOA posits that the traffic projected to be generated will be reduced due to the proximity of the development to the Mount Prospect Metra Train Station, qualifying the development as a transit -oriented development (TOD). When carefully planned, TOD proposals have a significantly smaller impact on surrounding roadways than initially believed. These sites are near transit, allowing commuting or visiting to be done by train or bus, they are built in areas that are walkable or bikeable, and apartments included in TOD projects can have smaller household sizes than found in traditional single-family neighborhoods, due to the unit type (studio apartments versus a four-bedroom home). To that end, the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) has determined that suburban, mid -rise TOD generates an average of 3.44 vehicle trips per dwelling unit. Detached single-family residences generate an average of 10 vehicle trips per unit, almost three times as many on a per unit basis. Village engineers have reviewed the report by KLOA and agree with its findings. In addition, all traffic associated with the former Parenti business operations and the multi -tenant industrial building (232 — 240 E. Lincoln Ave.) have or will be eliminated from the Subject Property, further mitigating the overall traffic generated by the site. The two properties had over 130 combined parking spaces and multiple truck daily deliveries during peak operations. PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 10 [; onomic Dene pitl awl Iww a ...frac rer alt l n tc a.I,1F, The Maple Street Lofts proposal represents more than $110 Million in private investment on what is now vacant industrial property and a Village -owned parking lot. This redevelopment would be the single largest private investment in Mount Prospect since Randhurst Village was redeveloped more than a decade ago. The proposed redevelopment would have a significant positive economic impact on the downtown district and TIF district. Adding nearly 600 new residents at this location will provide an increased customer base to support downtown restaurants and shops. The average tenant in these apartment units will have an above average household income, as the units will rent for over $2.25 per square foot. The proposed 14,148 square feet of retail space in Building A will provide new rental product downtown. This new commercial space would be buoyed by the new apartments, rowhomes, and Metra commuters walking past each day. The Petitioner is actively seeking tenants such as a brewery restaurant to locate in the corner suite and a small market user who would serve the new residents and surrounding community. The commercial space is completed by a loading bay on the eastern side of Building A and an interior corridor that provides access to all of the proposed suites. This project will generate significant incremental property tax revenues that will not only cover the cost of the Parenti relocation ($3 million), the Maple Street Parking Deck construction ($6 million) and the stormwater improvements ($2.17 million), but will also provide funds to make additional public improvements within the TIF district. These improvements could include proposed pedestrian crossings, streetscape improvements, train platform modifications, and other improvements designed to improve vehicular and pedestrian movements in the downtown. The estimated present value of the increment over the life of the TIF ranges between $13.6M and $21 M, depending on the actual number of students generated by the project. tr�<i it Lnipag One of the main concerns from the general public has been the potential impact Maple Street Lofts would have on area school districts. The Petitioner has provided estimated student generation numbers by the project. The generation rate is calculated based on the type of residential unit and the number of bedrooms in a given unit. The rates used are based on the School Consulting Services' 1996 study of the Chicago Metropolitan Area. The model predicts that the proposed Maple Street lofts development would generate 24 students. Estimates for the generation at each grade level are shown in the following table: Table 3: Projected Student Impact Project K -5t' Grade Junior High High School Total a Street Lofts artments MA ap 5 .328 1.564 ..... 2.464 �....o...e..----- .. 9.356 .....m_..._...._m_....,.....

This is largely due to the unit mix proposed in the two apartment buildings. The proposed apartment buildings provide 43 studio units, 164 one bedroom units, and 50 two-bedroom units. No three-bedroom rental units are proposed as part of this project. The rowhomes will generate more children because they are larger two bedroom or three bedroom units. It should be noted that state TIF statutes require the Village pay all applicable school districts an annual payment for any students generated by housing developments located in the TIF district. The payment is equal to the average cost the district incurs to educate each pupil, therefore the school districts are made whole for the cost of educating any students generated by this project. This dollar amount is adjusted each year as costs of education change. PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 11 LONG — RANGE PLANNING The proposal is consistent with surrounding commercial zoning and land uses found to the west and north. The Subject Property borders the B-5 Central Commercial District to the west and an R3 Low Density Residential PUD across the railroad tracks to the north. A B -5C Central Commercial Core PUD is kitty-corner from the development across the railroad tracks as well. Townhomes border the project to the west and a high-density multi -family development exists on the block immediately east of the Subject Property. The proposal is consistent with Village long range plans and the Village's Strategic Plan. The Village's Downtown Implementation Plan, accepted in 2013, identifies the Subject Property as a key opportunity site for redevelopment. One concept proposed the construction of six multi -family buildings on the Subject Property's block and an adjacent property nearby. A second redevelopment concept of the block proposes the construction of a mixed use building containing commercial retail space at the corner of Prospect Avenue and Maple Street, a new commuter parking deck, and six condominium or apartment buildings. The proposed redevelopment largely aligns with these proposals, except that it provides rowhomes on the southern portion of the site which serve as a transition between the proposed multi -family development and existing townhomes and detached single family homes in the area. The Village Comprehensive Plan designates these parcels, as well as the rest of the parcels on the Subject Property's block, as downtown mixed-use. Primary uses in this district consist of a mix of uses including retail, specialty shops, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, professional, service, arts and entertainment, and civic uses. Secondary uses include townhomes, medium to high density multifamily residential uses, health services, community amenities, as well as plazas, squares, pocket parks, recreational uses, and community gathering spaces. The proposed development is consistent with these uses. The Village Strategic Plan's objectives includes expanding the development of Downtown, creating a unique and vibrant sense of place, creating a flexible vision of Downtown that is reflective of market conditions, attracting businesses and residential development projects to Downtown, and partnering with business organizations to make our commercial business districts attractive destinations. The removal of an industrial building built in the 1950s, a paved surface lot, and an unimproved gravel lot in the heart of the Village's Downtown in favor of new Class A multi -family rental product and 56 rowhomes is instrumental in achieving these objectives. Redevelopment of this site is listed as a top priority in the Village's 2018 and 2019 Strategic Plan. MAP AMENDMENT STANDARDS The standards for map amendments are listed in Section 14.203.D.8.a of the Village Zoning Ordinance. When a Map Amendment is proposed, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall make findings based upon the evidence presented to it in each specific case with respect to, but not limited to, the following matters: • The compatibility with existing uses and zoning classifications of property within the general area of the property in question; • The compatibility of the surrounding property with the permitted uses listed in the proposed zoning classification; • The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted under the existing and proposed zoning classifications; and • Consistency with the trend of development in the general area of the property in question, and the objectives of the current Comprehensive Plan for the Village The Petitioner states that the proposed map amendment is compatible with existing uses in the general area of the Subject Property. The proposed plan is more dense on the northern portion of the Subject Property (which is bordered by commercial uses to the west, Metra tracks to the north, and industrial to the east), transitioning to a less dense use on the southern portion of the property (which is bordered by residential to the west, the park district to the south, and office uses to the east. PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 12 CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS The standards for conditional uses are listed in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a conditional use. The following list is a summary of these findings: • The conditional use will not have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare; • The conditional use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other properties in the vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties; • There is adequate provision for utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on Village streets; and • The request is in compliance of the conditional use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and other Village Ordinances. The Petitioner states that the proposed project will not be detrimental to, or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare. The proposed development will not be injurious to the uses and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. The proposed mixed use redevelopment is consistent with surrounding uses in the area. Commercial and attached single family uses exist to the west. The Union Pacific Northwest Line train tracks and downtown development exists to the north. Industrial and office uses exist to the east, and a park exists to the south. The proposed redevelopment improve property's value and be an improvement to an otherwise vacant, underutilized property and paved commuter parking lot. Per the Petitioner, the proposal will not decrease levels of service of the surrounding roadway system and the proposal will not compromise utility availability in the area. RECOMMENDATION Staff is supportive of the proposed zoning map amendments from P -I Off Street Parking and I-1 Limited Industrial to B-5 Central Commercial and B -5C Central Commercial Core. The proposed amendments are consistent with the trend of development in the general area. Several multi -story apartment buildings are located to the north, west, and east of the Subject Property and attached single family uses exist to the west. Properties located to the north are zoned B5 Central Commercial and B5 Central Commercial Core and the property borders the Metra tracks to the north. The proposed B-5 Central Commercial zone would serve as a buffer between more dense uses on the northern end of the site and the park and residential uses in the neighborhood to the south. Further, the Village's Comprehensive Plan identifies the Subject Property as being part of the downtown area and suggests a mix of commercial and residential uses be allowed. The proposed development is consistent with the Village's Comprehensive Plan. The proposed conditional use will be located in the downtown area of the Village, on a site currently vacant with little or no landscaping and a paved commuter parking lot. The proposed development adds a development of attractive, high-value, and well -landscaped mixed-use apartment buildings and attached single-family dwelling units to the downtown area. The development will have a positive effect on nearby properties, support businesses, and stimulate investment in the general area. The increased landscape and proposed stormwater system will greatly improve current drainage conditions for the site. The proposal will have no significant impact on traffic conditions in the vicinity. The development will have a limited impact on the adjacent neighborhoods, utility provision, and public streets. The proposed conditional use is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, Downtown Implementation Plan, Strategic Plan, and Zoning Ordinance requirements. Staff finds that the proposal meets the zoning map amendment and conditional use standards and that granting such requests would be in the best interest of the Village. Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission make a motion to adopt staff's findings as the findings of the Planning and Zoning Commission and recommend Agr„+wal of the following motions: PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 13 "To approve: 1.

II�I:.-"COIMIMIEI I..)A I IONS VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Forward: By Village Manager Mike Cassady The Village of Mount Prospect has been studying best practices for downtown revitalization for the past several years. In 2012, the Village participated in a downtown study funded by the Metropolitan Mayor's Caucus and CMAP. This consortium of northwest suburban communities partnered to author the Homes for a Changing Region report. This report provided many suggestions for the Village of Mount Prospect to consider to allow for our community to reach its full potential in all areas of the Village. Specific to downtown, there were suggestions to include multi -family rental developments to attract a younger demographic currently missing from the downtown district. The Village then commissioned the Downtown Implementation Plan, which was completed in 2013. This plan identified specific key redevelopment opportunities, including the Busse Triangle, Central and Main and the Maple -Prospect -School -Lincoln area. There was significant community engagement involved with this study, which was ultimately accepted by the Village Board in November, 2013. Flash forward to 2016: The Village discussed the use of economic development incentives to drive downtown redevelopment initiatives. In 2017, the Prospect and Main TIF was adopted and private sector development projects began to formulate. In 2018, the Village Board approved the 20 West Transit Oriented, Mixed Use Development at the Busse Triangle. The Board also approved the Park Terrace luxury rowhome project. Both of these projects are well into construction and will have occupancies in late 2019. The Village Board have or will be reviewing redevelopment projects in the downtown, such as the Central and Main property which has been blighted for the past decade. They will also be reviewing the proposed Maple Street Lofts project. To help prepare our Planning and Zoning Commission and Village Board for these complex redevelopment initiatives, I asked our planning and economic development team to provide a white paper discussing best practices for downtown Mount Prospect, making a technical case for density. It is understandable that residents near key redevelopment sites would have anxiety related to concerns for traffic, parking, safety, stormwater, building height, density, and character of the neighborhood. This paper discusses how some upcoming projects are actually less dense than projects approved in the 198o's and 199o's. The staff reports for all projects attempt to address all areas of concern expressed by residents and business owners. This report is not meant to be political, nor is this report in any way endorsed by our Mayor or Village Board. Sincerely, Mike Cassady, Village Manager Village of Mount Prospect Wei Executive Summary......................................................................3 Demographic Trends....................................................................4 The Case for Density....................................................................6 Sustainability................................................................................7 Senseof Place..............................................................................8 Financial Viability.........................................................................9 Property Value Impacts..............................................................10 Traffic Impact of Density............................................................11 Density in Surrounding Communities........................................12 Strategies for Mount Prospect...................................................13 Summary....................................................................................15 Endnotes....................................................................................16 Executive THE ONGOING SHIFT IN POPULATION DEMOGRAPHICS IS HAVING A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON BOTH THE HOUSING MARKET AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS. A rising millennial age group, now in their career years and late to marry or buy single family homes, need housing that suits their desire to be in a community which provides convenience and housing choice. This is not a localized issue; cities and suburbs across the country are experiencing an increased demand for rental units and high density development to address this shift in housing demand. It's not just millennials that contribute to the desire for density - generations both young and old are placing a renewed interest in walkable, appealing communities. Retiring baby -boomers looking to age in place, single -parent families, and college graduates beginning their careers are creating a significant demand for high-density rental units. Notwithstanding current housing preference, sprawling detached single-family development is not sustainable. This type of development is among the highest traffic generators on a per unit basis, is an inefficient and expensive way to pay for basic infrastructure, and does very little to create a meaningful sense of place in a community. This is particularly true of older suburban communities where majority of development sites are infill. Dense, architecturally interesting, and walkable communities create natural efficiencies in paying for infrastructure, establish a unique sense of place if executed thoughtfully, and generate less traffic compared to detached single-family homes. Driven by ideal location and market demand, downtown Mount Prospect is experiencing significant downtown reinvestment. More than 48o dwelling units are either under construction or coming before the Village Board of Trustees for consideration over the next year. Given this information, the Community Development Department was instructed to provide the best practices for downtown revitalization and density. The recommendations presented in this paper are based on reports, articles, and information from the American Planning Association, Urban Land Institute, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, and other scholarly institutions. Page 13 g", America's changing population is creating demand for diverse housing development. The traditional two- parent household with children made up 23.5 percent of the total housing market in 2000i. That number dwindled to only 19.1 percent in 2017 and is getting proportionally smallerii. Single -parent households, single - person households, empty nesters, and couples without children make up the new majority of American households, and they have quite different real estate needs. These groups are more likely to choose higher -density housing in mixed -density communities that offer vibrant neighborhoods over single-family houses in sprawling exurban communities. Millennials are the largest generational population group in the United States. Born between 1981 and 1997, this group (average age of 29) is the most diverse, marries later in life, and has the highest educational attainment and a higher level of debt than other generations. Just 35% of millennials are homeowners, compared to 64% of the US populationiii. Aside from sheer population numbers, it's important to address housing needs of this generation as they are 35% of the current US labor force. When choosing where to live, millennials tend to: • Value proximity to employment — feel convenience to a job is as important as neighborhood quality • Prefer a variety of mobility opportunities: walk, drive, bike, or mass transit options • Seek housing variety (rent/own, single/multi-family) at an affordable price point • Seek amenities that focus on lifestyle: mixed-use developments with commercial components These preferences tend to lean millennials toward higher -density developments, in part due to the strong amenities and access to transportation that is often provided. Outside of the millennial generation, higher -density development is also a viable housing choice for a variety of income groups and people in all phases of their lives. Many financially secure baby boomers, or "empty nesters", have chosen to leave behind the yard maintenance and repairs required of a single-family house for the more carefree and convenient lifestyle multi -family housing provides. Their children, just starting careers, are also looking for the flexibility of apartment living to follow job opportunities iv. This group prefers to be located near the downtown of a community, to be within walking distance of a major public transportation line, and desire properties with abundant amenities — again a feature of supporting density. Page 14 On a regional level, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) has been tracking changes in demand by tenure through their Homes for a Changing Region collaborative. CMAP has developed projections to help the Collaborative and its member municipalities anticipate changes in demand by tenure (rent vs. own) and price point through the year 2040. Recommendation strategies in their 2013 report include encouraging the construction of new housing that fits the need of additional residents, going on to denote that "while largely built out, new housing development opportunities existing in [Mount Prospect's region]. In planning for additional growth, the communities should create a true mix of housing, including rental, small -lot single family homes, town homes, and attached homes, as well as large -lot single-family homes. It is important that new developments respond to projected population increases incrementally as the economy slowly climbs out of the [2008] recession. Related to tenure, many are surprised to learn that 41 percent of renters say they rent by choice and not out of necessity, and households making more than $50,00o a year have been the fastest-growing segment of the rental market for the past three years12. The shift in population demographics results in a need for all communities, including Mount Prospect, to assess their current community environment. This includes not just offering housing variety, but also community amenities and transportation options. This can be done in a variety of ways which are directly related to density.

Density is relative based upon the character of the community; higher -density simply means a mix of residential and commercial development at a unit count that is higher than what is typically found in the existing community. In traditional urban development, downtown areas have a tendency to be more dense thanks to the natural accumulation of business, residential and transportation uses, often times stemming from a train stop or convergence of major roadways. People want to live where it is convenient for them to shop, work, or travel. The mix of what make density successful and sustainable is provided in these downtown areas and can be improved upon over time; it is why most "high density" redevelopment tends to occur in a downtown's core. In addition to location, zoning has large implications on a community's ability to create or control density. Zoning controls can permit attached single-family homes and low-rise residential buildings to serve as a buffer between a community's downtown and detached single-family neighborhoods. Zoning regulatory processes, such as planned unit developments, provide a mechanism for the careful consideration that should take place to ensure that new development accentuates and complements a community's existing sense of place. Dense housing provides the population needed to patronize downtown businesses, and downtown residents help create a safe and lived-in atmosphere. Housing, retail, and office uses interact together to create a symbiotic relationship where sectors reinforce each other.vi As an added benefit of density, these commercial areas are often supported by the community as a whole; those that live in traditional single family neighborhoods also shop or dine there. ..m. u oumi�o k�u ramdn nmrv�dkleP and/or larger R�� er ielparii theater families No Id odl sgifts"'I hatter � �OIIIMIOOO�Q�Q1vQ01� to ifle@ppdl�ppbq �, A nh �� .m, ��D�9DWr�` rm m Pr^ ����11�ININININININIUU�' a convenience gll mamw Irwc�asi II�ll\0\\\V\�11111�� mmsag; �C,S � iouioioioioi :.:Grocery ����si �� re,at iii rg1 w��imstiii7i���a��01��1&����op :mrd iou����G ue �� N 00000000000000000000000 mr dt/ r m JU t ui�ma�tiS�iY�� a Gift Cotr%"���i c ; � a1 a ui�dmuuiamiotil��r�u�0o� �^ Q upscale pizza n��ll�i���»»i7�iuuuuuumu�Illl. �w � �� r�� uuuuuuuuui� {�«<titi»i�»uiuuuuuuuuu «u it �g �i����liouuiuuuuuuuuuuuu��l l'fffli0000000000000iu�r,� Iwiiaui v.�,llaV walk roc e r11 N � makeareeuui' �«i�� raeR bagel I Central r I' lit 4�" cell9 Retail �� �umtlUOdnTriarti mice Hwy F Page 16 Growing communities are tasked the need to provide additional services, infrastructure, housing, and transportation in a cost- effective and sustainable manner. With this in mind, sprawling, low-density development is unsustainable. Low density development is an inefficient and expensive way for cities to pay for basic infrastructure (roadways and schools, libraries, fire, police, and water/sewer services). While renters do not pay property taxes themselves, building owners do and at a higher rate than a traditional detached single-family home owner. Sprawling residential development tends to create increasingly longer commutes, forcing residents to travel via car to work or into commercial areas at a significant cost to the resident. Arguably, no tool is more important than increasing the density of existing communities when planning for sustainable growth.iv Dense, architecturally interesting, and walkable communities generate one-third of the amount of traffic compared to detached single-family homes (on a per unit basis). Related specifically to Mount Prospect, Village households drive more miles than the Cook County average, which is not only contributing to negative environmental impacts and increased traffic, it's also expensive. According to the Center for Neighborhood Technology, Mount Prospect residents travel 19,145 miles per year on average, nearly 3,500 miles more than the Cook County average. This equates to an additional $3,600 per year in transportation costs.vii As noted in the Homes for a Changing Region report, the biggest factor in reducing vehicle miles traveled is "putting offices, shops, restaurants, residences, and other codependent activities in close proximity to each other". Bikes parked in the Covered Bike Shelters, Downtown Mount Prospect, 2019 Page 17 Attractive, well-designed, and well-maintained higher -density mixed use development attracts good residents and creates a sense of place and community. By its design, multi -family mixed used developments seek to fill the needs of several population cohorts listed previously — empty nesters, millennials, and the like. Unlike traditional single-family housing, mixed use developments often address these needs in a public or shared -space realm. Attractive architecture, plantings, and outdoor amenities such as pocket parks, amenity decks, and indoor community/social room space take the place of large backyards and built -out basements. Walkable restaurants and parks provided in dense areas serve as gathering space to meet with family or friends. These features make dense development a more desirable place to live for certain segments of the population. Simply put, these residents view attractive apartments with a bevy of amenities as a unique community and not as a traditional rental property. Low-density subdivisions can isolate owners not only from shops and the greater downtown, but also from neighbors. Characteristics of mixed use, dense development create a unique sense of place - a neighborhood feel that is driven and supported by the constant interaction of residents, businesses, visitors and workers in a compact geographical area. Page 18 Image, above: City of Falls Church, Virginia [Patch.com] Image, below: Main Street Mural Art, Dubuque, Iowa. [www.otheplaceswego.com/amazing-public- art-in-dubuque-iowa] Developers cannot afford to provide the amenities desired by prospective tenants without having significant dwelling unit density to defray the costs. The most sought-after amenities (community kitchens, pools, dog parks, television entertainment spaces, sports courts, accessible rooftops, and lounge rooms) all represent significant investments by a developer and future property manager. These costs, which require ongoing maintenance to be successful, are only financially feasible if a rental property has enough tenants paying rent to support them. In addition, the most successful mixed-use projects locate near convenient transportation and viable businesses. Ideal locations for mixed-use in this regard are often infill or redevelopment sites, resulting in higher land acquisition costs when compared to greenfield development. To provide the type of high -amenity housing sought by many, the development should contain a mix of uses (both commercial and residential) and be dense enough to be financially viable. Page 19 Common Area Space at Hancock Square, Arlington Heights [www.ha ncocksqua rearl ington.com] While dense, mixed-use development benefits downtown activity, researchers at Virginia Tech University have concluded that over the long run, well-placed market -rate apartments with attractive design and landscaping also increase the overall value of detached houses nearby. viii Per the report, three possible reasons include: 1. The apartments themselves indicate an area's economic vibrancy and growth; 2. Multi -family housing increases the pool of potential future homebuyers, creating more possible buyers for existing owners when they decide to sell their homes; and 3. New multi -family housing, particularly as part of mixed- use development, makes an area more attractive than nearby communities that have fewer housing and retail choices. Another possible factor would be the redevelopment former vacant or industrial land located in or near a municipality's downtown. Removing vacant or derelict property from a municipality's downtown and turning it into a high-quality development is very likely to increase surrounding property values. Most people are surprised to learn that dense redevelopment could improve housing values, as opposed to harm them. The general public most often cite the negative externalities associated with dense development, such as traffic, for why property values are likely to decrease. Page 110 Image, top: Founder's Row, Emerson Street, Mount Prospect Image, bottom: Rowhomes at 105 E. Prospect Avenue, Mount Prospect Many transit -oriented development (TOD) proposals are abruptly halted or redesigned at lower densities due to fears that dense development will flood surrounding streets with automobile traffic. This was largely due to inaccurate trip generation estimates, which overstated the traffic -inducing impacts of TOD. Until very recently, there were no widely accepted trip generation numbers for transit -oriented development in suburban communities. In its latest traffic modeling update, the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) determined that mid- rise residential development located in a TOD setting only generates 3.44 vehicle trips per dwelling unit. The ITE has determined that detached single-family residences generate an average of 10 vehicle trips per unit, almost three times as many on a per unit basis.i- When carefully planned, TOD proposals have a significantly smaller impact on surrounding roadways than initially believed. There are many contributing factors to support this vehicle trip reduction: TOD sites are near transit, allowing commuting or visiting to be done by train or bus, they are built in areas that are walkable or bikeable, and apartments or condominiums included in TOD projects can have smaller household sizes than found in traditional single-family neighborhoods, due to the unit type (studio apartments versus a four-bedroom home). Mount Prospect has several developments which would be considered TOD: The existing Lofts and Shops building, Emerson, Village Centre, Clocktower, and Founders Row are examples. Future projects include 20 West, Central and Main [10 N. Main], and Maple Street Lofts would also qualify as transit -oriented development due to their close proximity to the Union Pacific Northwest (UP -NW) Metra line. Page 111 Image, top: Mount Prospect PACE stop, downtown Image, bottom: Mount Prospect Metra Station Several surrounding communities are experiencing significant downtown revitalization through an increase in density. Des Plaines is either building or planning to build 325 dwelling units on 3.23 acres in its downtown, a proposed density of 1oo.6 dwelling units per acre. The proposed Arlington 425 redevelopment in downtown Arlington Heights has a density of 111.5 dwelling units per acre (358 dwelling units on 3.21 acres). The planned 483 dwelling units in Mount Prospect have a density of only 55.5 dwelling units per acre (8.7 acres planned). For Mount Prospect, the current density of existing or approved projects is as follows: Project # of Units Acres Units/Acre 20 West 73 o.62 118 Emerson 54 0.75 72 Residences at Village Centre 205 3.30 62 Maple Street Lofts 313 6.5 48 Clocktower 139 2.95 47 Lofts and Shops 34 1.17 29 As noted in the chart above, 20 West development was approved in 2018 and has a density of 118 dwelling units per acre (73 dwelling units on o.62 acres). For proposed projects, Maple Street Lofts has a density of 48 dwelling units per acre (313 dwelling units on 6.5 acres). The 10 N. Main Street proposal has a density of 62 dwelling units per acre (97 dwelling units on 1.57 acres). Only the 20 West development has a density which rivals the planned mid and high-rise developments in surrounding communities. Dense mid and high-rise development is experiencing a renaissance in the northwestern suburbs of Chicago. With very little rental product built over the ten years post the 20o8 recession, the market supply is only now catching up with the demand for rental units. The Village of Mount Prospect must be keenly aware of this opportunity and would be wise to capitalize on it. Page 112 Image, top: Bayview/Compasspoint Development at Ellinwood and Graceland, Des Plaines [Daily Herald] Image, bottom: Opus Development at 1555 Ellinwood Ave, Des Plaines [Daily Herald] Mount Prospect is not immune to the demographic shift that is occurring across the country and within the region. Taking into account available capacity, Mount Prospect can accommodate just 33% of the projected housing units that could be desired by future residents by 2040. The remaining 67%, or nearly 6,000 people, represent unmet demand — people who want to live in Mount Prospect, but cannot find available units." The Homes for a Changing Region Report states: "Many of these people would be looking for small - lot single-family homes, townhomes, and multi- family units. The Village's current codes likely would not be able to accommodate this future demand without changes." [Emphasis added]° The report continues to show and estimated increase in demand for units by type, indicating a shortage of over Boo "small lot single family", 350 townhomes, and 1,300 multi -family units. This high demand for housing in Mount Prospect also includes rental units, particularly for those earning less than $35,000 or more than $5o,000 annually. Future rental housing demand for the next 30 years will be driven specifically by those age 25 to 44, particularly for both lower and upper income rental housing. To address this anticipated shortage, it is important for the Village to create rental housing stock that targets that specific age group — the Millennials. Due to the community preferences of this age group (noted previously), the most suitable location within the Village to generate rental housing stock is downtown. The Village of Mount Prospect has not added rental dwelling units to its downtown in more than 30 years. Adding more than 48o dwelling units (of which 427 are planned as rental) within downtown through the use of greater density will make living in the Village a possibility for a sector of the population that has had to look elsewhere for housing. With residential density comes supports for the local business economy. Considering the current state of Mount Prospect's downtown lacks the luxury rental dweller (which tends to have disposable income), many businesses in the downtown lament low patronage. The more than 48o planned downtown dwelling units would go a long way toward achieving the aforementioned symbiotic relationship and creating a centripetal force for the downtown. Page 113 Image, top: 20 West Development Rendering, Mount Prospect Image, bottom: Park Terrace Rowhomes under construction, Mount Prospect, 2019 The changing opinion of what constitutes desirable housing and community - thanks to shifting demographics - combined with the future housing demand projections, point to necessary density. This idea is further supported by sheer geographical location; Mount Prospect's train line, easy access to Chicago and the lack of open "greenspace" for new development also support density through redevelopment. Smart, sustainable, and thoughtful use of density will help address a true housing need, support viable business, protect and improve property values, and create a stronger sense of place. Moving forward, staff and elected officials should continue to monitor Village demographics and housing stock. Modifications to the Village's zoning code should be completed where applicable. It is recommended that staff and elected officials carefully evaluate mixed-use development projects on a basis of what is best for the community moving forward, understanding generational demand, future population projections, and differentiating between development impacts with or without basis. Image, top: 10 N. Main Rendering Image, middle: Maple Street Lofts Rendering, Buildings D and A Image, bottom: Maple Street Lofts Rowhomes Page 114 A shift in population demographics brought about by the millennial generation, now with an average age of 29, is having a significant impact on both the housing market and community development patterns. The sheer demand created by those that need housing combined with the desire to live in a community which provides convenience and housing choice are factors that should be addressed when planning for future development. The Chicago area is taking future housing planning seriously — the Homes for a Changing Region Report contains useful data on future housing needs for the suburban Chicago region and specifically, Mount Prospect. This 2013 report's future projections are starting to become evident, as surrounding communities respond with dense developments within their own downtown or key location areas (such as near highway access or major retail). It is important for Mount Prospect to understand future housing demand, assess the availability of the existing real estate and housing market, and consider the social and economic benefits of density. By not building any rental units in the Village for more than 30 years, Mount Prospect is missing out on a significant population that could support the existing commercial and office community, particularly downtown. The desirability of Mount Prospect (location, access to transit, and great amenities) continues to fuel demand for housing, specifically for the millennial age group and those making greater than $50,000 annually. This, coupled with the lack of units built in the region over the last ten years as a result of 2oo8's Great Recession, has significantly increased the demand for new multi -family rental product in the northwestern suburbs and Mount Prospect specifically. With more than 48o dwelling units planned in the downtown, of which 427 are market -rate rentals, the Village has an opportunity like never before to create a significant rental population in its downtown. Successful, well-planned housing density strengthens existing relationships between the business, office, and residential communities. It creates a unique sense of place of which residents throughout the Village would benefit. A rising tide lifts all boats; increased density and downtown rental units are a potential rising tide that the Village of Mount Prospect would be wise to capture. Page 115 U.S. Census Bureau.

From: peter Wojtkiewicz, P.E., PTOE Date: October 15, 2018 Re: Mount Prospect Downtown Transportation Study ADDENDUM #1 Sam Schwartz Consulting (Sam Schwartz) was retained by the Village of Mount Prospect to update its Downtown Transportation Study (March 2018) to reflect the proposed residential development, Maple Street Lofts, to be located along Maple Street between Prospect Avenue and Lincoln Street. The following memorandum serves as an addendum to the March report, documenting new data collection and Sam Schwartz's methodology for traffic demand forecasting and analyses for this study. Recommended improvements are documented to improve the functionality of the existing local transportation system and mitigate anticipated traffic -related impacts resulting from the proposed development. Study Area The study area for the original transportation study generally included the downtown Mount Prospect intersections on either side of the railroad tracks from IL 83 to School Street, both signalized and unsignalized locations, as well as at Mount Prospect Road. To evaluate the proposed development, the study area was expanded for this addendum to include the following additional intersections: 1. Maple Street with Lincoln Street 2. Maple Street with the commuter parking lot driveway 3. Lincoln Street with the commuter parking lot driveway 4. Prospect Avenue with (future) Elm Street 5. Lincoln Street with (future) Elm Street Existing Traffic Volumes Sam Schwartz conducted field visits to collect relevant information pertaining to the site, the surrounding street network, traffic volumes, traffic controls, lane geometry, and infrastructure at the study intersections. The Village of Mount Prospect collected new morning (7:00 to 9:00 AM) and evening (4:00 to 6:00 PM) peak period traffic counts in September 2018 to supplement previous counts collected in May 2017. The Existing Traffic volume diagrams for the weekday AM and PM peak hours are shown in Figure 1. Counts indicate the peak hour of traffic occurs 7:15 to 8:15 AM and 5:00 to 6:00 PM. It should be noted that northbound Maple Street was closed just north of Lincoln Street for Mount Prospect Downtown Transportation Study - ADDENDUM 2 October 15, 2018 construction from 7:30 to 9:00 AM during the morning counts so that all vehicles intending to enter the commuter parking lot from the west/south entered using the Lincoln Street driveway rather than the Maple Street driveway. Review of the existing peak hour traffic volumes indicates the following: • Traffic on Prospect Avenue has decreased approximately 5 to 7 percent in the morning and evening peak hours, respectively, since the previous counts were collected in 2017. This may be in part attributable to the closure of the mill shop, Parenti & Raffaelli, Ltd., on Prospect Avenue and its relocation outside of downtown. Thus, traffic generated by Parenti & Raffaelli was generally eliminated from the study area. • The existing 280 -space commuter surface parking lot generate 185 trips (mostly inbound) during the morning peak hour and 130 peak hour trips (all outbound) during the evening peak hour. Additionally, the Appendix includes the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) map available from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). Daily traffic flow on the street network through and surrounding downtown indicates the primary traffic pattern avoids Northwest Highway through downtown, choosing to use Central Road and Mount Prospect Road to bypass the downtown area, and presumably, the delays experienced crossing IL 83/railroad tracks. This is indicated by the much lower traffic volumes on the segment of Northwest Highway between Central Road and Mount Prospect Road when compared to north of Central Road and south of Mount Prospect Road. Signal and Railroad Crossing Characteristics Peak period traffic congestion through the downtown area is caused by large traffic volumes crossing the Union Pacific (UP) railroad tracks at -grade, interrupted by a high number of commuter trains during the same peak period times, as well as emergency vehicles. The only two railroad crossings in the downtown area are IL 83 and Emerson Street. The traffic delays are compounded by the condition that the IL 83 and Emerson Street railroad gates remain down while Metra passengers board and alight the train, increasing the time traffic is stopped and significantly decreasing the efficiency of the three interconnected traffic signals along IL 83 and at Emerson Street and Northwest Highway. Data pulled from the IL 83 with Northwest Highway and Prospect Avenue signal controller shows that the crossing gates are down 32 to 34 of the peak 90 -minute traffic periods. This signal and railroad crossing information is summarized in Table 1. Table 1: Mount Prospect Railroad Crossing Summary Location Average Daily Traffic # of Signal Phases Cycle Length No. of Train Interruptions Min Gate Down N/S E/W AM PM AM PM AM PM Route Route Peak Peak Peak Peak Peak Peak IL 83 @ Northwest Hwy 13,900 10,900 10 160 170 17 14 34 32 & Prospect Ave Mount Prospect Downtown Transportation Study - ADDENDUM 3 October 15, 2018 Maple Street Lofts Development Plan A residential development is proposed on Maple Street between Prospect Avenue and Lincoln Street. The site is currently occupied by a 280 -space commuter parking lot. The adjacent site was formerly home to Parenti & Raffaelli, Ltd. Mill shop, which currently sits vacant on the site. The proposed site consists of the following: • 257 residential units in two apartment buildings with a total of 306 residential parking spaces • 10,000 square feet of ground -floor retail • 66 townhomes with two parking spaces per unit • 250 public parking spaces in a three-story parking structure • On -street parking along Prospect Avenue, (future) Elm Street, and other internal streets Elm Street will be a new public street extending through the site from Prospect Avenue to Lincoln Street. A new street will also extend east from Maple Street. Access to the uses on the site will be provided via these new streets and a series of driveways on Lincoln Street that directly serve the rear -loaded townhomes. As part of the development plan, the Village is planning to relocate 100 commuter parking permits from the Maple Street facility to the Village Hall parking garage in an effort to balance the additional traffic generated by the residential units. Commuters residing north of the tracks will be directed to the Village Hall parking garage to reduce traffic across the tracks during peak periods. This initiative will also remove trips coming to and leaving from the Maple Street Lofts site during peak hours. The remaining approximately 180 commuter parking spaces will be reserved in the new public parking garage on the site. The other parking spaces will be available to the public, including customers of the retail component of the site, as well as other existing businesses and events. Trip Generation The estimate of traffic to be generated in the future condition is based upon proposed land use type and size. The Institute of Transportation Engineer's (ITE) Trip Generation, 101h Edition was used to identify traffic generated by the Maple Street Lofts development concept. Table 2 summarizes the peak hour trip generation estimates, as well as the applicable Land Use Code reference. The data for the residential units, the apartments in particular, indicate they will be transit -oriented dwellings with a lower vehicular traffic demand than traditional suburban units. Many of the trips expected to be generated by the site in the morning and evening peaks will be person -trips oriented to and from the Metra station. The table also summarizes the commuter parking trips that are currently entering and exiting the surface lot on the site and the portion that will no longer be using the Maple Street facility as they are relocated to the Village Hall parking garage. Note that the total trips never equal the number of parking spaces because the table shows the peak one-hour period and the trips are disbursed across a two to three-hour window, not all arriving or departing in the same hour. Mount Prospect Downtown Transportation Study - ADDENDUM October 15, 2018 Table 2: Vehicular Trip Generation M New Trip Assignment The directional distribution of site -generated traffic is a function of several variables, including existing travel patterns, characteristics of the area street network, and characteristics of the surrounding neighborhoods. The resulting percentages are a best estimate using engineering judgment, familiarity with the area, and logical travel paths to likely origins and destinations for site users. The new residential/retail trips were assigned to the street network according to the directional distribution and are shown in Figure 2. The existing commuter trips captured in the traffic counts were assumed to remain on the street network to present a conservative worst-case scenario. However, 40 to 45 trips during the peak hour will actually be reassigned to the Village Hall parking garage and no longer enter or exit the site. The development -generated traffic was added to the existing traffic volumes to develop near- term future traffic conditions. The resulting Future Traffic volumes are shown in Figure 3. Capacity Analysis The operational effectiveness of transportation facilities is measured in terms of Level of Service (LOS). LOS ranges from LOS A to LOS F, with LOS A being the best level of operation for an intersection and LOS F being the worst. LOS A represents free-flow conditions where motorists experience a high level of comfort and convenience. LOS E represents saturated or at -capacity conditions, and LOS F represents oversaturated conditions. LOS at a signalized intersection is defined in terms of average control delay (measured in seconds per vehicle), which is the portion of total delay experience by a motorist that is attributable to the traffic signal. LOS A describes operations with minimal delays (up to 10 seconds per vehicle), while LOS F describes operations with delays in excess of 80 seconds per vehicle. At intersections with long cycle lengths, the quantity of red time that is allocated to an approach or movement may near or exceed that 80 -second threshold, increasing the likelihood of poor LOS. The LOS criteria for signalized intersections, as defined in the Highway Capacity Manual, Sixth Edition (HCM), are provided in Table 3.

Highway Capacity Manual, 2010 Synchro 9 traffic analysis software was used to analyze the study intersections for the weekday peak hours under both existing traffic conditions and projected future traffic conditions with the addition of site -generated traffic. The capacity analysis results from Synchro provide average vehicle delays and LOS for each study intersection. SimTraffic, the traffic simulation module of the Synchro software package, was also used to develop traffic simulations for the existing and future scenarios to further inform traffic operations and to assist in determining the effectiveness of the existing roadway system. Traffic signal timings for the signalized intersections were obtained from IDOT's system and verified in the field. Summaries of the capacity analysis results under existing and future projected conditions are presented in Table 5.

Projected Future Traffic Operations The capacity analysis results show that almost all approaches and lane groups would operate at the same LOS as existing conditions and none would change beyond LOS D that are not already under LOS D, showing the increase in traffic is limited in its impact to LOS street operations. Alternatives Evaluation The overall purpose of the Downtown Transportation Study is to improve transportation conditions in the downtown. Through an alternatives evaluation, numerous improvement scenarios have been evaluated in the last several years. As detailed in the March report, however, traffic operations and the railroad signal system in the downtown area are complicated and highly interconnected, making a silver bullet solution difficult. Instead, the evaluation indicates several incremental improvements will overall result in marked operational improvements. Below is a brief summary of the alternatives studied and the outcome of those evaluations: Feasibility of At -Grade Crossing All railroads, including the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR), are generally opposed to any new at - grade crossings due to safety and maintenance issues. In the case of Mount Prospect, the UPRR has stated that for a new at -grade crossing, they would like to see three existing crossings closed. The Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) is the final authority for the authorization of any at - grade crossing in the state, and the UPRR will have significant input with the ICC for a crossing on their line. The ICC also would prefer to close crossings rather than open new crossings and even has a Crossing Closure Incentive Program to provide incentives for communities to close at -grade crossings. Considering these policies and that the crossing would require approval or permitting from ICC, UPRR, IDOT, and Metra, permitting a new at -grade crossing would need significant political support to be approved by those agencies. Physically, the analysis of a third at -grade crossing at Maple Street shows it is feasible with right-of-way acquisition, roadway and sidewalk realignment, and modifications (loss of parking) to the existing Metra parking lot. It also improves traffic operations and delay for through and turning movements at the IL 83 signalized intersections. The cost analysis projected a cost of approximately $5 million. Feasibility of Underpass The Downtown Transportation Study evaluated an underpass at School Street but determined substantial impact to resident and business access along Northwest Highway, Prospect Avenue, Mount Prospect Downtown Transportation Study - ADDENDUM 9 October 15, 2018 and School Street due to clearance needed under the tracks and maximum allowed slopes. In addition, a grade -separated crossing also requires approval from ICC, UPRR, and IDOT and UPRR policy for adding a grade -separated crossing is to attempt to eliminate one at -grade crossing. A detailed cost analysis has not been completed for this alternative but would be expected at $20 million or more. Closure of Prospect Avenue Long traffic signal cycle lengths at two of three signalized intersections along Northwest Highway and IL 83 are required because the current signal sequences require safety clear -out phases. Those long cycles cause all movements to experience lengthier delays than if the cycle length were shorter. In 2016, Sam Schwartz studied the elimination of several signalized phases at IL 83 and Prospect Avenue which would significantly improve the downtown traffic signal system but would require that Prospect Avenue be closed with cul-de-sacs at its current intersection with IL 83. The shorter cycle lengths would improve LOS at the IL 83/Northwest Highway intersection, as well as other intersections on the closed loop system. However, this alternative was not received well by key stakeholders and the public. Traffic Management Center Sam Schwartz previously looked at cost estimates for the Village to construct a Traffic Management Center (TMC), similar to Lake County's PASSAGE system, that would provide advanced real-time management of signalized intersections on certain systems in the Village. Our basic analysis in 2016 estimated a cost for a TMC that could easily exceed $1.5 million to convert several closed systems and cost approximately $150,000 annually in staffing and maintenance. Move Train Station/Platforms The Metra station in Downtown Mount Prospect is a key component in attracting residents and businesses to the area. However, the current location of the station and loading platform parallel to Northwest Highway between IL 83 and Maple Street causes traffic operational problems. The Downtown Transportation Study evaluated relocation options that would allow trains to be parked in the station and a clear zone set between the front of the engine and the IL 83 and/or Emerson crossings, potentially allowing the gates to reopen while the train is loading. Platform relocation either eastward or westward would require moving the train station depot to a point near the center of the relocated platform. To provide the same width between the railroad tracks and Northwest Highway that exists at the current depot location, significant land acquisition and the realignment of Northwest Highway would be required. Sam Schwartz estimates that either an eastbound or westward relocation would require a minimum land acquisition of 1.0 acre and a cost of $12-14 million. It would also move the Metra station from the heart of downtown. Move Inbound Trains In discussions between the Village, UPRR, and Metra, Metra is open to instructing eastbound train engineers to hit a certain pre -determined mark with the last engine to maintain the required clear zone that allows the railroad gates at the IL 83 crossing to return to the upright position once the train passes through the IL 83 crossing. This operational change may decrease the time gates are closed up to 11 minutes during the peak 90 -minute morning rush period and 4 minutes during the peak 90 -minute evening rush. Moving the inbound trains may require that the south platform Mount Prospect Downtown Transportation Study - ADDENDUM 10 October 15, 2018 be extended eastward approximately 250 feet. The cost analysis projected a cost of approximately $900,000. Relocation of Fire Station out of Downtown The Village is currently in the process of relocating its Police and Fire Department from its downtown Station 13 location on Northwest Highway. According to the department's information, there are approximately 4,500 emergency responses per year out of that station. Considering that two units typically respond to each call, there are at least 2,000 traffic interruptions per year caused by the pre-emptions. Observations and signal controller information indicate there is, on average, one call during both the morning and evening peak hours, which impacts traffic for approximately two minutes on each occurrence and is typically compounding or lengthening an already occurring traffic interruption. Relocation of the station so that emergency vehicles may avoid IL 83/Northwest Highway congestion would allow normal coordination plans to run for approximately 10 more minutes at programmed offsets by eliminating the transition period. The following Table 6 was compiled to illustrate the estimated incremental improvements that both moving inbound trains and relocating the fire station will have on the peak 90 -minute periods of traffic.

When pressed, the button calls for both crossings from the corner to be activated. This causes a false call in the unused direction which can create unnecessary green time for minor approaches and corresponding delays for major approaches. Morning pedestrian calls account for 22 seconds of delay per signal cycle (160 seconds total) and afternoon calls account for 16 seconds of delay Mount Prospect Downtown Transportation Study - ADDENDUM 11 October 15, 2018 per cycle (170 seconds total). By adding several push buttons and posts to these signalized intersections, pedestrians will be able to choose the crosswalk they intend to use, reducing the false calls and giving back green time to the highest traffic demand. The required process would be to submit plans and specifications to IDOT permits for approval and meetings with IDOT have indicated they are supportive of the improvement. IDOT Traffic Operations Department would handle coordination with ICC before IDOT ultimately issues the permit for construction. This is seen as a low-cost (approximately $65,000) improvement that would benefit traffic operations during 25 to 30 percent of the peak hour (five to six cycle lengths). Mount Prospect Road and Prospect Avenue This intersection is slated to be improved by IDOT and the signal timing may be adjusted by IDOT or one of their timing consultants after construction in the next five years. No street widening/capacity improvements are planned at this time. Field observations noted long queues eastbound on Prospect Avenue at Mount Prospect Road. The traffic volume distribution estimates approximately 10-20 vehicles will be added to the eastbound movements in the peak hours at that intersection under future conditions. Synchro analysis estimates this could lengthen the queue approximately 20-35 feet or one to two vehicles during the peaks. To accommodate the queues, Sam Schwartz evaluated the operational improvements of adding dual eastbound left -turn lanes on Prospect Avenue at the signal and the analysis shows the capacity improvement would reduce average delay by approximately 20 seconds and reduce eastbound queues by approximately 100 feet. The addition of dual lefts would require that Mount Prospect Road be widened (to approximately 35 feet) across the railroad tracks to accept the turning vehicles. Widening across the tracks is an expensive improvement considering a proposed crossing improvement would need to proceed through an ICC and IDOT approval process and involve train signal pre-emption equipment coordination. However, in the past, both IDOT and ICC have authorized geometric capacity improvements for existing railroad crossings. Signalization at Prospect Avenue/Emerson Street As part of the analysis, Sam Schwartz modeled the intersection of Emerson Street and Prospect Avenue under traffic signal control to test the operations compared to three-way stop sign control. The advantage of signalization is that the track clearance phasing will guarantee passage for both northbound traffic crossing the tracks through Northwest Highway and southbound traffic crossing the tracks through Prospect Avenue. The disadvantage, however, is that signalization will not significantly improve intersection LOS operations and it will degrade LOS at the Emerson Street and Northwest Highway intersection as more time will be required to be dedicated to clearance track phases, thus increasing the cycle lengths, for example from 85 seconds to 170 seconds in the PM period to match IL 83. The Emerson/Northwest Highway cycle length currently runs at half the length of the IL 83 signal cycles which has significantly reduced delays and queuing at the intersection. Move Permit Parking As part of the development plan, the Village is planning to relocate 100 commuter parking permits from the Maple Street facility to the Village Hall parking garage in an effort to reduce traffic demand in the immediate site area and balance the additional traffic generated by the residential units. The Village will target permit holders that live north of Northwest Highway to relocate to the Mount Prospect Downtown Transportation Study - ADDENDUM October 15, 2018 12 Village Hall parking garage where there is excess capacity and no need to cross the UP railroad tracks. This will reduce traffic crossing the tracks by 40 to 45 vehicles during the peak hour which will result in lower delays and shorter queues, particularly on IL 83 and Emerson Street. It also has the potential to offset over 30 percent of the traffic generated by the development, as summarized in Table 7. Table 7: Net New Trips to/from Site Land Use/ Size Weekday AM Peak Hour Weekday PM Peak Hour In Out Total In Out Total New Residential/Retail Trips 25 80 105 90 45 135 Relocation of 100 permits -40 0 -40 0 -45 -45 Net Vehicular Trips -15 80 95 90 0 90 Recommendations The evaluation indicates several incremental improvements will overall result in marked operational improvements. Sam Schwartz offers the following recommendations as incremental, near-term projects to improve traffic operations in the downtown area that have a high cost -benefit ratio (or are already planned). • The Village should continue to work with Metra to instruct engineers on eastbound (inbound) trains to hit a certain pre -determined mark with the last engine to maintain a clear zone that would allow the railroad gates at the IL 83 crossing to return to the upright position while the train is loading in the station but has passed through the IL 83 crossing. This operational change will reduce the duration gates are in the down position by 11 minutes in the peak morning period and 4 minutes in the peak evening period. Metra may require that the south platform be ultimately extended approximately 250 feet east. • Pedestrian posts and pushbuttons should be installed at the intersections of IL 83 with Northwest Highway and Prospect Avenue and the intersection of Northwest Highway with Emerson Street to improve the operational efficiency by eliminating unused green time caused by false pedestrian calls. This would benefit traffic operations during 25 to 30 percent of the peak hour (5-6 cycle lengths), and could reduce delay caused by unused vehicle green time up to 22 seconds per cycle length. • Relocation of the police and fire station will minimize pre-emption calls through the critical cluster of signalized intersections, particularly during the peak 90 -minute morning and evening rush periods, reducing signal offset transitions by approximately 10 minutes. • Neighborhood traffic control surrounding the Maple Street Lofts site should be provided as follows: o The intersection of Maple Street with Lincoln Street should remain under all -way stop sign control. Mount Prospect Downtown Transportation Study - ADDENDUM October 15, 2018 13 o The Elm Street (future) approaches at both Prospect Avenue and Lincoln Street should be under stop sign control, with Prospect Avenue and Lincoln Street remaining free flow (two-way stop controlled). o The new east -west street that will intersect Maple Street should also be under stop sign control with Maple Street remaining free flow. • As part of the development plan, the Village should relocate 100 permit parkers from the Maple Street facility to the Village Hall parking lot. In order for this to benefit traffic operations and eliminate trips crossing the railroad tracks, the relocated parkers will need to reside north of the railroad tracks. This relocation can offset over 30 percent of the peak hour development -generated traffic to and from the site. • As more pedestrian activity will occur at the intersection of Prospect Avenue and Maple Street with the development of the site, staff should evaluate pedestrian crossing placement and signage at the intersection in coordination with site plan development. • Staff should continue to monitor traffic volumes and speeds on surrounding neighborhood streets in the future and consider traffic calming measures as warranted as part of the Village's traffic calming program. Additionally, the following longer-term alternatives have merit and should continue to be evaluated by the Village: • In the long-term, the Village should pursue discussions with legislative representatives, the UPRR, and the Illinois Commerce Commission to determine if there is flexibility in the UPRR policy that requires three existing at -grade crossings be eliminated for one new at - grade crossing to be considered. • The Village should further study the intersection of Prospect Avenue with Mount Prospect Road to determine the costs and implications of widening Mount Prospect Road over the railroad tracks to accept dual eastbound left -turn lanes from Prospect Avenue.

PROSPECT AVENUE, AND 232-240 E. LINCOLN STREET / PLAT, ZONING MAP AMENDMENT, AND CONDITIONAL USE BACKGROUND A public hearing has been scheduled for the March 14, 2019 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review the application by Nicholas & Associates (the "Petitioner"), regarding the property located at 301 S. Maple Street, 215. E. Prospect Avenue, 225-235 E. Prospect Avenue, and 232-240 E. Lincoln Street (the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner is seeking a plat of subdivision, zoning map amendment, and a conditional use for a final planned unit development (PUD). The P&Z Commission hearing was properly noticed in the February 27, 2019 edition of the Daily Herald newspaper. In addition, the Petitioner completed the required written notice to property owners within 250 -feet and staff posted public hearing signs on the Subject Property. In addition to the required residents to be noticed, the Petitioner notified property owners in the area generally bound by Main Street, Evergreen Avenue, William Street, and Council Trail. A maintained list of interested parties with concerns about the project were also notified of the hearing. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The Subject Property is generally defined as the western half of the block bound by Maple Street, Prospect Avenue, School Street, and Lincoln Street. Existing improvements include full access onto Maple Street, Prospect Avenue, and Lincoln Street. The western half of the Subject Property is zoned P-1 Off Street Parking and is currently a Village owned resident -only commuter parking lot consisting of 285 stalls. The eastern half of the Subject Property consists of a vacant gravel lot and a small industrial center. The vacant gravel lot is the former Parenti & Raffaelli Ltd. (Parenti) location, which operated an industrial woodworking facility on the site from 1988 until 2018. Both the former Parenti site and the immediately adjacent industrial center are zoned I-1 Limited Industrial. The Subject Property is bordered by the B-5 Central Commercial, P-1 Off Street Parking, and R-1 Single Family Residential Districts to the west, the Metra train tracks to the north, the I-1 Limited Industrial District to the east, and the C-R Conservation Recreation District to the south. HISTORY As stated above, Parenti & Raffaelli Ltd. operated their woodworking facility on the Subject Property for several decades. While they were, and continue to be, a very successful business, the location along Prospect Avenue in the heart of the downtown district was not ideal for an industrial use. The Village had several meetings with Parenti to discuss relocating their operation to other more appropriate locations in the Village, but was ultimately unable to structure a deal that worked. The Petitioner intervened and negotiated a relocation and expansion plan for Parenti at 1401 Feehanville Drive. The Village assisted in the Parenti relocation by pledging $3 million in tax increment financing (TIF) funds in 2018, keeping Parenti and their 100 employees in the Village and opening up the Subject Property for redevelopment. PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 3 SUMMARY OF ORIGINAL PROPOSAL The original proposal featured an eight story apartment building ("Building A"), seven story apartment building ("Building D"), and 66 rowhomes. The Petitioner held two open houses in September and October of 2018 and reworked their proposal to address concerns raised by residents related to height, school impact, and density. SUMMARY OF REVISED PROPOSAL The Petitioner substantially revised their initial proposal to address the concerns raised at the open houses. Building A's height was reduced from eight stories to six, the number of rowhomes was reduced from 66 units to 56, and an interior court complete with open space is now provided. The rowhome portion of the project was redesigned to provide street frontages on Maple Street, Lincoln Street, Elm Street, and Dawson Drive. Dawson Drive, Elm Street, and Elm Court are new private roads. Elm Court provides access to the rear -load rowhomes. The easternmost rowhomes are now a frontloaded design, allowing for greenspace behind the units. Building materials for Buildings A, D, and the rowhomes have been substantially revised to include more masonry and to provide quality materials consistent with existing downtown buildings. Plat of Subdivision The Subject Property is made up of five separate parcels and a condominium subdivision. To achieve the final design of the proposed development, a plat of subdivision is required. The parcels on the property will be resubdivided to achieve the following: 1. The proposed Lot 1 will contain apartment buildings "A" and "D", Dawson Drive, a portion of Elm Street, and be privately held 2. The proposed Lot 2 will contain a new commuter parking deck and be owned by the Village 3. The proposed Lot 3 will contain the proposed fifty-six (56) rowhomes, a portion of Elm Street, Elm Court, and be privately held The proposed lots all have frontages and comply with code requirements. ,Coni lg MiaAmendment. The Subject Property is zoned P-1 Off Street Parking and I-1 Limited Industrial. A zoning map amendment is required as the current zoning for the Subject Property does not allow for residential, commercial, or mixed use development. The Petitioner is seeking for the Subject Property to be rezoned to B -5C Central Commercial Core and B-5 Central Commercial as the property is along the railroad tracks running through the Village's downtown, adjacent to B-5 zoning, and kitty-corner from the B -5C zoning district at Maple Street and Northwest Highway. The northern half of the site would be zoned B -5C Central Commercial Core and the southern half would be zoned B-5 Central Commercial. civ capinent A Planned Unit Development (PUD) is required as multiple buildings are proposed to be located on individual lots. PVDs provide a tool to accommodate development which is in the public interest, provides a public benefit, and which would not otherwise be permitted by the zoning ordinance. A planned unit development may be for residential, commercial, office, industrial, and mixed use development. Site Plan The proposed site plan includes a private road network, two apartment buildings, a commuter parking deck, and 56 rowhomes. The proposed private road network consists of three private roads - Elm Street, Dawson Drive, and Elm Court. Elm Street is a proposed north -south street that connects Prospect Avenue to Lincoln Street. Dawson Drive is a proposed east -west drive that connects Maple Street to the proposed Elm Street. Elm Court is a private court serving the proposed rear -load rowhomes that is accessible off of the proposed Elm Street. • Building A fronts onto Prospect Avenue, Elm Street and Maple Street. The building's entrance and lobby are located off Maple Street. Vehicular access to the building is provided via Maple Street and a commercial loading bay is provided on Elm Street. PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 4 Building D fronts onto Prospect Avenue and Elm Street. The building has two automobile entrances on Elm Street; the northern entrance serves the first floor parking area and the southern entrance services below -grade parking. The lobby is located off Elm Street. The proposed commuter parking deck fronts onto Maple Street, Elm Street, and Dawson Drive. Vehicular access into the parking deck is provided on both Maple Street and Elm Street. The 56 proposed rowhomes are accessed by Elm Street and Elm Court. The 13 front load rowhomes are accessed off of Elm Street, and the 43 rear load rowhomes are serviced by Elm Court. The court enables the rowhome frontages to face outward onto Maple Street, Dawson Drive, Elm Street, and Lincoln Street. A green space is to be provided in the center of the rear load rowhomes. Several off-site improvements are proposed as part of this project. Stormwater access will be provided via an existing storm sewer located in Lions Park. Sixteen angled, on -street parking stalls are to be constructed on Maple Street, including one accessible stall, and 20 angled, on -street parking stalls are to be provided on Prospect Avenue, including two accessible stalls. These stalls would be available to the public and have an hourly restriction during the work week. The proposed plans include the extension of Village streetscape from the corner of Prospect Avenue and Maple Street to Elm Street and Dawson Drive, terminating at their intersection in the site. Streetscape improvements are also proposed on Prospect Avenue in front of Building D. A plaza space at the northwestern corner of the Subject Property is also provided. Planters are to be set into the streetscape along Prospect Avenue, with a larger planter proposed near the corner of Elm Street and Prospect Avenue as the site's elevation changes. Foundation plantings and a public art space are proposed near the northwest corner of Building A in addition to planters with seat -walls, an outdoor dining space, and a large metal pergola. The proposed streetscape extension and plaza would give the proposal a walkable feel, add to the development's sense of place, and create a community gathering space on the south part of the downtown district. FloorP,l,ans, The floor plans indicate Building A will have a total of 245 parking deck spaces serving 192 dwelling units to be located on the second through sixth floors. The first floor of Building A will have more than 14,000 square feet of commercial retail space, a commercial loading dock, tenant storage, bicycle storage, a garbage room, and a leasing office. The second floor will have a more than 15,000 square foot outdoor amenity space with a pool. An outdoor kitchen, puppy park with synthetic grass, fire table with lounge chairs, ping pong tables, bag toss, pool -side lounge chairs, a hot tub, and cabanas are proposed in addition to the rooftop pool. Finally, an indoor amenity space of more than 3,000 square feet is also planned for the second floor. Building D will have 65 parking deck spaces on the lower level and first floor with 65 dwelling units to be located on the second through seventh floors. An approximately 2,000 square foot roof terrace and more than 2,200 square foot indoor amenity space are proposed for the second floor. The rowhomes will have a two -car garage and recreation room on the first floor. The second floors will contain the kitchen, living, and dining areas. Balconies are proposed to be located on the rear of the second floor. Bedrooms are to be located on the third floor. Both front -load and rear -load rowhomes may either be a two bedroom with a study or a three bedroom unit. In addition to the two -car garages, the front -load rowhomes provide parking for two vehicles in the driveways serving the homes and the rear -load rowhomes provide space for one vehicle to parallel park behind each unit. Prl�ir�g, Buildings A and D have a combined 310 parking spaces and 257 dwelling units, resulting in a 1.21 parking stall per dwelling unit ratio. Village Code requires 282 stalls to be provided. Thirteen parking stalls in Building A will be reserved for tenants in Building D, to ensure that residents of that building have sufficient parking available. Customer parking is provided via 36 diagonal on -street parking spaces along Maple Street and Prospect Avenue, including three handicap accessible stalls. Additionally, 21 privately -owned stalls are provided on site, and street parking is available both on the Subject Property and in the immediate area. PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 5 Commuter Parkirig The current Maple Street commuter lot on the Subject Property provides 285 stalls reserved for Mount Prospect residents. Aside from these stalls, there are 63 on -street commuter parking spaces on Prospect Avenue, which are available on a first come, first serve basis and 283 spaces at the East and West Commuter Lots. Therefore, the total existing commuter parking inventory consists of 631 stalls, with 285 reserved for residents. The Village recently opened 100 commuter parking spaces at the Emerson Street Parking Deck. Fifty of the Emerson Street Parking Deck stalls are reserved for Mount Prospect residents with a 50% discount for those living north of the railroad tracks. The purpose of the discount for northern residents is to discourage them from traveling back and forth over the railroad tracks, reducing traffic in the area. These stalls were made available in February of this year. Two hundred seventy-four (274) resident commuter stalls will be available south of the tracks for the duration of the Maple Street Parking Deck's construction. These spaces will be located in the south half of the existing Maple Street commuter lot, along Prospect Avenue, and in the Lion's Park parking lot. After construction, the overall commuter parking inventory would be increased to 668 parking stalls, with 335 reserved for residents. This inventory includes 222 parking spaces in the proposed Maple Street Parking Deck, 63 spaces on Prospect Avenue, and 50 spaces reserved in the Emerson Street Parking Deck. Existing and proposed conditions are presented in the following table: Table 1: Existing and Propose os+ed Resident Commuter Parkin Exist Durine Construction Construction Parking location i U Resident Only restricted Resident Only nrestr Unrestricted Resident Only Ma le Street lot 285 0 120 0 0 0 Prospect Avenue 0 63 63 0 63 0 Lions Park0 0 91 0 0 0 EmersonStreet Parkin......_. g www....�.�._..�..�_.........._ww....................................._...................................................................................................................... 0 0 50 50 .. 50 _._. 50 Deck Maple Street Parkin...... ing .. ..... ...... 0 ....._...._........... 0 ._�..... 0 ......................._... ...... 0 w........ ..wv....w 222 .._......vw ........�.. ......... 0 Deck �.. Total 285 63 24 50 335 50 The Village plans to regularly monitor the use of the entire commuter parking inventory to determine the final mix of resident commuter stalls in the proposed Maple Street Parking Deck. The proposed 285 resident commuter stalls south of the tracks show no major impact on intersection performance, ultimately allowing us to match the 285 currently provided in the area. Buiildi�lg_l; l ,rlt l Building A is an 84'-10" tall loft -style building that incorporates many classic loft conversion details into the overall design. The building as a whole reads as a heavy masonry building with smaller punched openings for windows, much like one would see in a major city center during the mid -1900s. The design gradually changes from a traditional masonry product as the building extends upwards, with brick transitioning to expose large, expansive windows in the upper corners of the building, along with steel and metal panel materials. The top floor of the building appears to float above the "historic" masonry building and ties the corners into the entire building's highest story. To complete the design, the building features hanging metal balconies that are tied back into the building with angled tie rods. Matching the projecting balconies, the first floor entries are protected with thin horizontal awnings that also have angled tie backs. All of these architectural features combine to make the building look as if an old factory building had been converted into lofts. PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 6 Building D is an 86'-4" tall loft -style building, but it follows a different design theory. It begins as a solid masonry building with punched openings like Building A, but instead of exposing the building corners, this design applies "wood" elements. These corner elements are taller than the rest of the building and have recessed terraces, unlike the Building A design that uses projected balconies. In addition, in the areas where metal panel was used on Building A, cementitious panel is proposed in Building D. The top floor between the four "wood" corner towers is cementitious panel with punched openings. A series of bump -outs are proposed from the body of the masonry base. These bump -outs are clad in cementitious panel. If the concept of Building A is a masonry building that has some carve -outs and an additional floor added to what was a historic building, Building D is meant to appear as if these elements were instead added onto the original building. The proposed terrace on the second floor is attractively contained with metal railings to match those of the balconies and terraces. The rowhomes have a design to match the contemporary, urban nature of Buildings A and D. The front -load product is proposed to be 34'-9.25" tall, while the rear -load product is to be 32'-10" tall. Each unit has a different face -plane to allow for separation, depth, and architectural interest on what else would be a flat facade. Each unit has a unique set of architectural elements and material coloring that set them apart. There are projecting bay window units, flush bay units that project very little, and small punched openings within the all masonry facades. Virtually flat roofs are trimmed with painted cornices, while the windows have masonry accent sills and headers to frame those openings. Unit entries are protected with flat awnings tied back into the building with angled ties. The rowhomes have a water table stone feature that wraps the sides and rear of the buildings with full masonry facades and similar high quality materials on all sides. Metal railings on the front of the buildings match those of the two apartment buildings, while the more private rear yards have a conventional wood railing system. Overall there is potential for stepped foundations to respond to the natural grade change on the site that will further accentuate the individuality of each unit. The proposed three story Maple Street Parking Deck to be used for commuter, visitor, retail, and employee parking is 25'-6" tall. Building materials include stone, steel, and brick to match Building A. Planter boxes are to be built into the guardrails. Access into and out of the deck is provided on both Maple Street and Elm Street. Cr,ra;c,cr,a11;g Significant landscaping will be provided throughout the site. Foundation landscaping will be provided along the western and eastern sides of both buildings A and D and on all exterior sides of the proposed rowhomes. Raised planter beds with seat -walls are proposed at the corner of Maple Street and Prospect Avenue. The planters continue the length of the Subject Property down Prospect Avenue. Movable planters with annual plantings are also proposed along Prospect Avenue and a recessed area on the northern side of Building A will provide a planting area and potential art location. Parkway trees will be provided on Prospect Avenue, Maple Street, and Lincoln Street. An open space is to be provided on the interior greenspace serving the proposed rowhomes. P1 114 Construction phasing will be critical to ensure resident commuters have parking available from groundbreaking to construction completion. Staff understands this necessity and has a commuter parking plan in place to address the issue. A tentative agreement is in place between the Village and the Mount Prospect Park District to secure 91 spaces in the Lions Park parking lot at the southeast corner of Maple Street and Lincoln Street for resident use. Construction of the proposal would occur in five phases: 1. Reserve 63 parking spaces located along the north side of Prospect Avenue for resident only parking; 2. Open 91 spaces in the Lions Park parking lot for resident only parking; 3. Preserve approximately 120 existing Maple Street Lot parking spaces on the south end of the Subject Property for resident only parking; 4. Designate 100 parking spaces in the Emerson Street Parking Deck for commuter parking, reserving 50 spaces for resident commuters; and 5. Eliminate use of the Lions Park and southern surface spaces once the Maple Street Parking Deck is completed, opening the southern portion of the Subject Property for redevelopment. The proposed phasing plan ensures that resident commuters have access to 324 reserved stalls during construction. PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 7 Storm„w,ater The Subject Property is nearly completely impervious at this time. The existing Maple Street commuter lot, 301 S. Maple Street, is paved to provide parking. No landscape islands are present in order to maximize the number of commuter stalls provided. The former Parenti & Raffaelli site (215 E. Prospect and 225-235 E. Prospect) is an impervious gravel lot. An industrial condominium surrounded by an asphalt parking lot that extends to three out of four property lines sits on 232-240 E. Lincoln Street. Stormwater on site sheet drains onto adjacent properties and right-of-way, ultimately ending up in the combined sewer system, as no engineered system is in place. Site stormwater is proposed to be collected and contained in multiple chambers that are to be buried below privately - owned Elm Street and the open space area in the center of the proposed rowhome development. The contained system will then be restricted and flow east underground along Lincoln Street right-of-way, ultimately terminating into an existing stormwater system located in Lions Park. The engineered system will not tap into the existing combined sewer system, and will function more effectively than current conditions. PUBLIC INPUT & RESPONSE Public input has played an integral part in shaping the proposed redevelopment. The Petitioner held two open house meetings in the fall of 2018 to take public comment on the proposal. Taking all of this input into consideration, the Petitioner substantially revised the proposal. The main concerns cited by objectors are related to height and density, market demand, traffic impacts, tax increment financing (TIF) implications, and school district impact. i1y The original proposal included an eight -story, 107' tall Building A, and combined with Building D and the rowhomes for a total of 323 dwelling units. In response to citizen concerns, Building A was reduced to a six -story, 87 foot tall building and the total number of dwelling units was reduced to 313 thanks to a reduction in the number of rowhome units. The proposed 313 dwelling units are located on 6.5 acres, making the proposed density 48.15 dwelling units per acre. Existing and approved project density in the Village of Mount Prospect is listed below: Table 2: Marne Street Lofts Density Coinnarison Project Dwelling Units # Land Area Acres Density Units/Acre 20 West 73_... 0.62 117 Emerson __.._�.......... 54 mmm ... .........._v___.... �.. .75 ...a......a .........._....._.._ 72 ._.............. ........_ Residences at Village Centre .................. 20.5..__a . ......... 3...30 ....._._..... 62 .... 10 N.

Maple Street Lofts has a density of 48 dwelling units per acre (313 dwelling units on 6.5 acres). The proposed development is most similar to the Clocktower development in terms of density. To help prepare our Planning and Zoning Commission and Village Board review redevelopment projects in the downtown, staff prepared a white paper discussing best practices for downtown Mount Prospect, making a technical case for density. It is understandable that residents near key development sites would have anxiety related to concerns for traffic, parking, safety, stormwater, building height, density, and neighborhood character. The attached paper and table on the previous page show that the proposed Maple Street Lofts project is actually less dense than projects approved in the 1980s and 1990s. The forwarded report is fact based with recommendations based on reports, articles, and information from the American Planning Association, Urban Land Institute, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, and other scholarly institutions. PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 8 Market Demand Another concern raised by the general public is potential unit absorption into the market. To address this concern, the Petitioner hired Integra Realty Resources (IRR) to put together a market study. The study provides an overview of the northwest suburban apartment market, analyzes demand for new rental apartment units at the Subject Property, and determines the projected renter profile. Further, it surveys current and proposed apartment developments in the region and critiques the proposal in terms of unit mix, unit sizes, finishes, and amenities. Finally, it provides conclusions regarding rent levels and absorption. Highlights of the report are presented below. Key information discussed in the market study is that no new apartment development took place in the 1990s or early 2000s in northwestern Cook County. It wasn't until 60 units were constructed in Des Plaines in 2011 that any new rental product was added since the 1980s. Development in the region has increased significantly over the last two years, with 315 units delivered in 2018 and a little more than 1,000 under construction for delivery in 2019+. The lack of newer product in the northwest Cook County submarket had been more a function of lack of suitable development sites rather than submarket economics as the area was one of the first built out in the greater Chicago metropolitan statistical area (MSA). The market study shows that the proposed units will be facing increasing competition in the overall market area as there are several projects which are under construction in Mount Prospect, Des Plaines, and Wheeling. In addition, there is a growing pipeline of proposed projects which have not yet broken ground but which are in varying stages of the entitlement, design, and financing process. Integra Realty Resources — Chicago has been surveying the lease - up pace in all of the new suburban apartment projects in the Chicago MSA. Overall, since 2013, projects have been leasing up an average pace of 12 units per month. Given the phased nature of the proposal, IRR is projecting a lease - up of the property within approximately two years. A two-year lease -up is consistent with the lease -up of other buildings in the market. Further illustrating the demand for new Class A rental property in the northwestern Cook County submarket is that Class A product is currently at almost 95% occupancy. It was over 96% in 2016, but new product has since been added to the market. Class A rental property refers to product built since the 1990s that includes a significant amount of amenities. Most commonly provided items include open floor plans, nine foot ceilings, an in -unit washer and dryer, high quality cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, direct entry garages, clubhouses, fitness centers, and swimming pools. Building A will offer all of these amenities, and residents of Building D will have access to the amenities provided in Building A. The market study concludes that although an average of 1,200 units have been delivered per year in the Chicago suburban market since 1996, demand and opportunities exist to create additional rental product. The biggest hurdle for these types of projects remains securing large enough sites suitable for development, and obtaining the necessary zoning approvals in light of general community opposition to rental development. For these reasons, development is shifting to more high-density sites, potentially in redeveloping downtown markets as transit -oriented developments. In addition to the market study by Integra Realty Resources, Homes for a Changing Region, a collaborative, forward-looking housing report sponsored in 2013 by the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), and the Metropolitan Planning Council (MPC) discusses the need for additional rental product in Mount Prospect. Specifically, it shows a demand for more than 1,200 multi -family units and 350 townhomes in the Village by 2040. The report concludes that the Village faces the challenge of continuing to provide a diverse array of housing options consistent with its local character in the face of limited capacity for growth. Further, the report states that demand across all income levels and in a number of key demographics (seniors and young working -age households in particular) offers the chance to further the Village's downtown redevelopment efforts. The report recommends to embrace a mix of recommendations designed to maintain the current housing stock while furthering redevelopment in key locations. The proposed Maple Street Lofts development achieves these goals and objectives while providing a high-quality product consistent with the Village's character. PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 9 Traffic Studies„ andImprovements The potential for increased area traffic is a chief concern among residents due in part to existing traffic issues. To study potential traffic impacts, the Petitioner hired Kenig, Lindgren, O'Hara, Aboona, Inc. (KLOA) to perform a full traffic analysis. The report finds that peak -time traffic congestion in the downtown area is primarily attributable to the at -grade rail crossings at IL Route 83 (Main Street) and Emerson Street which are regularly blocked by Metra commuter trains, not a shortage of network capacity. Furthermore, traffic congestion is exacerbated by traffic signal preemption of emergency vehicles departing the Mount Prospect Police and Fire Station and pedestrian push buttons that stop traffic in both directions when activated. The report makes several short and long-term recommendations for the Village to consider to improve traffic levels of service in the area. Because traffic issues are created by non -vehicle related issues (train crossings, signal preemption of emergency vehicles, and pedestrian push button phasing), the capacity analysis indicates that the traffic estimated to be generated by the proposed development would have a minimal impact on the operations of adjacent intersections and existing levels of service. The report makes several area improvement recommendations including the following: 1. Installation of directional pedestrian push buttons at signalized intersections, separated for each leg of the intersection 2. Relocation of Mount Prospect Police and Fire Station to eliminate the signal interruption caused by emergency vehicles 3. Coordination with Metra Train Engineers to adjust where trains stop along the tracks, allowing the gates to open in certain conditions 4. Relocation of Permit Parking Spaces from the Maple Street Commuter Parking Lot to the Emerson Street Parking Deck The Village is working toward achieving all of these proposed improvements in order to decrease unnecessary downtown traffic. Directional pedestrian push buttons will be installed in the near future, the Village is in the process of relocating Mount Prospect Police and Fire operations, Village staff has met with Metra staff in an effort to minimize train blockages, and the proposed redevelopment reduces the number of permit parking spaces south of the tracks by 63. As previously explained, the gross number of resident -only commuter spaces on the Subject Property would be reduced from the existing 285 to 222. However, the 63 first-come, first -serve commuter spots currently available to all commuters would be reserved for resident commuters, bringing the final number of resident commuter stalls to 285 south of the tracks, which is consistent with the current number of resident commuter spaces provided south of the tracks. 100 commuter spaces were recently opened in the Emerson Street Parking Deck, with 50 reserved for resident commuters. Allocating 50 spaces in the Emerson Street Parking Deck for resident commuters will further improve intersection performance as northern residents now no longer need to cross the train tracks twice each day. The report by KLOA posits that the traffic projected to be generated will be reduced due to the proximity of the development to the Mount Prospect Metra Train Station, qualifying the development as a transit -oriented development (TOD). When carefully planned, TOD proposals have a significantly smaller impact on surrounding roadways than initially believed. These sites are near transit, allowing commuting or visiting to be done by train or bus, they are built in areas that are walkable or bikeable, and apartments included in TOD projects can have smaller household sizes than found in traditional single-family neighborhoods, due to the unit type (studio apartments versus a four-bedroom home). To that end, the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) has determined that suburban, mid -rise TOD generates an average of 3.44 vehicle trips per dwelling unit. Detached single-family residences generate an average of 10 vehicle trips per unit, almost three times as many on a per unit basis. Village engineers have reviewed the report by KLOA and agree with its findings. In addition, all traffic associated with the former Parenti business operations and the multi -tenant industrial building (232 — 240 E. Lincoln Ave.) have or will be eliminated from the Subject Property, further mitigating the overall traffic generated by the site. The two properties had over 130 combined parking spaces and multiple truck daily deliveries during peak operations. PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 10 [; onomic Dene pitl awl Iww a ...frac rer alt l n tc a.I,1F, The Maple Street Lofts proposal represents more than $110 Million in private investment on what is now vacant industrial property and a Village -owned parking lot. This redevelopment would be the single largest private investment in Mount Prospect since Randhurst Village was redeveloped more than a decade ago. The proposed redevelopment would have a significant positive economic impact on the downtown district and TIF district. Adding nearly 600 new residents at this location will provide an increased customer base to support downtown restaurants and shops. The average tenant in these apartment units will have an above average household income, as the units will rent for over $2.25 per square foot. The proposed 14,148 square feet of retail space in Building A will provide new rental product downtown. This new commercial space would be buoyed by the new apartments, rowhomes, and Metra commuters walking past each day. The Petitioner is actively seeking tenants such as a brewery restaurant to locate in the corner suite and a small market user who would serve the new residents and surrounding community. The commercial space is completed by a loading bay on the eastern side of Building A and an interior corridor that provides access to all of the proposed suites. This project will generate significant incremental property tax revenues that will not only cover the cost of the Parenti relocation ($3 million), the Maple Street Parking Deck construction ($6 million) and the stormwater improvements ($2.17 million), but will also provide funds to make additional public improvements within the TIF district. These improvements could include proposed pedestrian crossings, streetscape improvements, train platform modifications, and other improvements designed to improve vehicular and pedestrian movements in the downtown. The estimated present value of the increment over the life of the TIF ranges between $13.6M and $21 M, depending on the actual number of students generated by the project. tr�<i it Lnipag One of the main concerns from the general public has been the potential impact Maple Street Lofts would have on area school districts. The Petitioner has provided estimated student generation numbers by the project. The generation rate is calculated based on the type of residential unit and the number of bedrooms in a given unit. The rates used are based on the School Consulting Services' 1996 study of the Chicago Metropolitan Area. The model predicts that the proposed Maple Street lofts development would generate 24 students. Estimates for the generation at each grade level are shown in the following table: Table 3: Projected Student Impact Project K -5t' Grade Junior High High School Total a Street Lofts artments MA ap 5 .328 1.564 ..... 2.464 �....o...e..----- .. 9.356 .....m_..._...._m_....,..... MalewStreet Lofts Rowhomes . ...,w.w. 9,30,8, 2,;988 2.758 15.05,„ Total m 14.636 4.552 5.222 24.410 The projected student impact numbers clearly show that the proposed 257 apartment units in buildings A and D will generate a very small number of children. This is largely due to the unit mix proposed in the two apartment buildings. The proposed apartment buildings provide 43 studio units, 164 one bedroom units, and 50 two-bedroom units. No three-bedroom rental units are proposed as part of this project. The rowhomes will generate more children because they are larger two bedroom or three bedroom units. It should be noted that state TIF statutes require the Village pay all applicable school districts an annual payment for any students generated by housing developments located in the TIF district. The payment is equal to the average cost the district incurs to educate each pupil, therefore the school districts are made whole for the cost of educating any students generated by this project. This dollar amount is adjusted each year as costs of education change. PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 11 LONG — RANGE PLANNING The proposal is consistent with surrounding commercial zoning and land uses found to the west and north. The Subject Property borders the B-5 Central Commercial District to the west and an R3 Low Density Residential PUD across the railroad tracks to the north. A B -5C Central Commercial Core PUD is kitty-corner from the development across the railroad tracks as well. Townhomes border the project to the west and a high-density multi -family development exists on the block immediately east of the Subject Property. The proposal is consistent with Village long range plans and the Village's Strategic Plan. The Village's Downtown Implementation Plan, accepted in 2013, identifies the Subject Property as a key opportunity site for redevelopment. One concept proposed the construction of six multi -family buildings on the Subject Property's block and an adjacent property nearby. A second redevelopment concept of the block proposes the construction of a mixed use building containing commercial retail space at the corner of Prospect Avenue and Maple Street, a new commuter parking deck, and six condominium or apartment buildings. The proposed redevelopment largely aligns with these proposals, except that it provides rowhomes on the southern portion of the site which serve as a transition between the proposed multi -family development and existing townhomes and detached single family homes in the area. The Village Comprehensive Plan designates these parcels, as well as the rest of the parcels on the Subject Property's block, as downtown mixed-use. Primary uses in this district consist of a mix of uses including retail, specialty shops, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, professional, service, arts and entertainment, and civic uses. Secondary uses include townhomes, medium to high density multifamily residential uses, health services, community amenities, as well as plazas, squares, pocket parks, recreational uses, and community gathering spaces. The proposed development is consistent with these uses. The Village Strategic Plan's objectives includes expanding the development of Downtown, creating a unique and vibrant sense of place, creating a flexible vision of Downtown that is reflective of market conditions, attracting businesses and residential development projects to Downtown, and partnering with business organizations to make our commercial business districts attractive destinations. The removal of an industrial building built in the 1950s, a paved surface lot, and an unimproved gravel lot in the heart of the Village's Downtown in favor of new Class A multi -family rental product and 56 rowhomes is instrumental in achieving these objectives. Redevelopment of this site is listed as a top priority in the Village's 2018 and 2019 Strategic Plan. MAP AMENDMENT STANDARDS The standards for map amendments are listed in Section 14.203.D.8.a of the Village Zoning Ordinance. When a Map Amendment is proposed, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall make findings based upon the evidence presented to it in each specific case with respect to, but not limited to, the following matters: • The compatibility with existing uses and zoning classifications of property within the general area of the property in question; • The compatibility of the surrounding property with the permitted uses listed in the proposed zoning classification; • The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted under the existing and proposed zoning classifications; and • Consistency with the trend of development in the general area of the property in question, and the objectives of the current Comprehensive Plan for the Village The Petitioner states that the proposed map amendment is compatible with existing uses in the general area of the Subject Property. The proposed plan is more dense on the northern portion of the Subject Property (which is bordered by commercial uses to the west, Metra tracks to the north, and industrial to the east), transitioning to a less dense use on the southern portion of the property (which is bordered by residential to the west, the park district to the south, and office uses to the east. PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 12 CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS The standards for conditional uses are listed in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a conditional use. The following list is a summary of these findings: • The conditional use will not have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare; • The conditional use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other properties in the vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties; • There is adequate provision for utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on Village streets; and • The request is in compliance of the conditional use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and other Village Ordinances. The Petitioner states that the proposed project will not be detrimental to, or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare. The proposed development will not be injurious to the uses and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. The proposed mixed use redevelopment is consistent with surrounding uses in the area. Commercial and attached single family uses exist to the west. The Union Pacific Northwest Line train tracks and downtown development exists to the north. Industrial and office uses exist to the east, and a park exists to the south. The proposed redevelopment improve property's value and be an improvement to an otherwise vacant, underutilized property and paved commuter parking lot. Per the Petitioner, the proposal will not decrease levels of service of the surrounding roadway system and the proposal will not compromise utility availability in the area. RECOMMENDATION Staff is supportive of the proposed zoning map amendments from P -I Off Street Parking and I-1 Limited Industrial to B-5 Central Commercial and B -5C Central Commercial Core. The proposed amendments are consistent with the trend of development in the general area. Several multi -story apartment buildings are located to the north, west, and east of the Subject Property and attached single family uses exist to the west. Properties located to the north are zoned B5 Central Commercial and B5 Central Commercial Core and the property borders the Metra tracks to the north. The proposed B-5 Central Commercial zone would serve as a buffer between more dense uses on the northern end of the site and the park and residential uses in the neighborhood to the south. Further, the Village's Comprehensive Plan identifies the Subject Property as being part of the downtown area and suggests a mix of commercial and residential uses be allowed. The proposed development is consistent with the Village's Comprehensive Plan. The proposed conditional use will be located in the downtown area of the Village, on a site currently vacant with little or no landscaping and a paved commuter parking lot. The proposed development adds a development of attractive, high-value, and well -landscaped mixed-use apartment buildings and attached single-family dwelling units to the downtown area. The development will have a positive effect on nearby properties, support businesses, and stimulate investment in the general area. The increased landscape and proposed stormwater system will greatly improve current drainage conditions for the site. The proposal will have no significant impact on traffic conditions in the vicinity. The development will have a limited impact on the adjacent neighborhoods, utility provision, and public streets. The proposed conditional use is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, Downtown Implementation Plan, Strategic Plan, and Zoning Ordinance requirements. Staff finds that the proposal meets the zoning map amendment and conditional use standards and that granting such requests would be in the best interest of the Village. Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission make a motion to adopt staff's findings as the findings of the Planning and Zoning Commission and recommend Agr„+wal of the following motions: PZ -20-18 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting March 14, 2019 Page 13 "To approve: 1.

II�I:.-"COIMIMIEI I..)A I IONS VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Forward: By Village Manager Mike Cassady The Village of Mount Prospect has been studying best practices for downtown revitalization for the past several years. In 2012, the Village participated in a downtown study funded by the Metropolitan Mayor's Caucus and CMAP. This consortium of northwest suburban communities partnered to author the Homes for a Changing Region report. This report provided many suggestions for the Village of Mount Prospect to consider to allow for our community to reach its full potential in all areas of the Village. Specific to downtown, there were suggestions to include multi -family rental developments to attract a younger demographic currently missing from the downtown district. The Village then commissioned the Downtown Implementation Plan, which was completed in 2013. This plan identified specific key redevelopment opportunities, including the Busse Triangle, Central and Main and the Maple -Prospect -School -Lincoln area. There was significant community engagement involved with this study, which was ultimately accepted by the Village Board in November, 2013. Flash forward to 2016: The Village discussed the use of economic development incentives to drive downtown redevelopment initiatives. In 2017, the Prospect and Main TIF was adopted and private sector development projects began to formulate. In 2018, the Village Board approved the 20 West Transit Oriented, Mixed Use Development at the Busse Triangle. The Board also approved the Park Terrace luxury rowhome project. Both of these projects are well into construction and will have occupancies in late 2019. The Village Board have or will be reviewing redevelopment projects in the downtown, such as the Central and Main property which has been blighted for the past decade. They will also be reviewing the proposed Maple Street Lofts project. To help prepare our Planning and Zoning Commission and Village Board for these complex redevelopment initiatives, I asked our planning and economic development team to provide a white paper discussing best practices for downtown Mount Prospect, making a technical case for density. It is understandable that residents near key redevelopment sites would have anxiety related to concerns for traffic, parking, safety, stormwater, building height, density, and character of the neighborhood. This paper discusses how some upcoming projects are actually less dense than projects approved in the 198o's and 199o's. The staff reports for all projects attempt to address all areas of concern expressed by residents and business owners. This report is not meant to be political, nor is this report in any way endorsed by our Mayor or Village Board.

A rising millennial age group, now in their career years and late to marry or buy single family homes, need housing that suits their desire to be in a community which provides convenience and housing choice. This is not a localized issue; cities and suburbs across the country are experiencing an increased demand for rental units and high density development to address this shift in housing demand. It's not just millennials that contribute to the desire for density - generations both young and old are placing a renewed interest in walkable, appealing communities. Retiring baby -boomers looking to age in place, single -parent families, and college graduates beginning their careers are creating a significant demand for high-density rental units. Notwithstanding current housing preference, sprawling detached single-family development is not sustainable. This type of development is among the highest traffic generators on a per unit basis, is an inefficient and expensive way to pay for basic infrastructure, and does very little to create a meaningful sense of place in a community. This is particularly true of older suburban communities where majority of development sites are infill. Dense, architecturally interesting, and walkable communities create natural efficiencies in paying for infrastructure, establish a unique sense of place if executed thoughtfully, and generate less traffic compared to detached single-family homes. Driven by ideal location and market demand, downtown Mount Prospect is experiencing significant downtown reinvestment. More than 48o dwelling units are either under construction or coming before the Village Board of Trustees for consideration over the next year. Given this information, the Community Development Department was instructed to provide the best practices for downtown revitalization and density. The recommendations presented in this paper are based on reports, articles, and information from the American Planning Association, Urban Land Institute, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, and other scholarly institutions. Page 13 g", America's changing population is creating demand for diverse housing development. The traditional two- parent household with children made up 23.5 percent of the total housing market in 2000i. That number dwindled to only 19.1 percent in 2017 and is getting proportionally smallerii. Single -parent households, single - person households, empty nesters, and couples without children make up the new majority of American households, and they have quite different real estate needs. These groups are more likely to choose higher -density housing in mixed -density communities that offer vibrant neighborhoods over single-family houses in sprawling exurban communities. Millennials are the largest generational population group in the United States. Born between 1981 and 1997, this group (average age of 29) is the most diverse, marries later in life, and has the highest educational attainment and a higher level of debt than other generations. Just 35% of millennials are homeowners, compared to 64% of the US populationiii. Aside from sheer population numbers, it's important to address housing needs of this generation as they are 35% of the current US labor force. When choosing where to live, millennials tend to: • Value proximity to employment — feel convenience to a job is as important as neighborhood quality • Prefer a variety of mobility opportunities: walk, drive, bike, or mass transit options • Seek housing variety (rent/own, single/multi-family) at an affordable price point • Seek amenities that focus on lifestyle: mixed-use developments with commercial components These preferences tend to lean millennials toward higher -density developments, in part due to the strong amenities and access to transportation that is often provided. Outside of the millennial generation, higher -density development is also a viable housing choice for a variety of income groups and people in all phases of their lives. Many financially secure baby boomers, or "empty nesters", have chosen to leave behind the yard maintenance and repairs required of a single-family house for the more carefree and convenient lifestyle multi -family housing provides. Their children, just starting careers, are also looking for the flexibility of apartment living to follow job opportunities iv. This group prefers to be located near the downtown of a community, to be within walking distance of a major public transportation line, and desire properties with abundant amenities — again a feature of supporting density. Page 14 On a regional level, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) has been tracking changes in demand by tenure through their Homes for a Changing Region collaborative. CMAP has developed projections to help the Collaborative and its member municipalities anticipate changes in demand by tenure (rent vs. own) and price point through the year 2040. Recommendation strategies in their 2013 report include encouraging the construction of new housing that fits the need of additional residents, going on to denote that "while largely built out, new housing development opportunities existing in [Mount Prospect's region]. In planning for additional growth, the communities should create a true mix of housing, including rental, small -lot single family homes, town homes, and attached homes, as well as large -lot single-family homes. It is important that new developments respond to projected population increases incrementally as the economy slowly climbs out of the [2008] recession. Related to tenure, many are surprised to learn that 41 percent of renters say they rent by choice and not out of necessity, and households making more than $50,00o a year have been the fastest-growing segment of the rental market for the past three years12. The shift in population demographics results in a need for all communities, including Mount Prospect, to assess their current community environment. This includes not just offering housing variety, but also community amenities and transportation options. This can be done in a variety of ways which are directly related to density.

Density is relative based upon the character of the community; higher -density simply means a mix of residential and commercial development at a unit count that is higher than what is typically found in the existing community. In traditional urban development, downtown areas have a tendency to be more dense thanks to the natural accumulation of business, residential and transportation uses, often times stemming from a train stop or convergence of major roadways. People want to live where it is convenient for them to shop, work, or travel. The mix of what make density successful and sustainable is provided in these downtown areas and can be improved upon over time; it is why most "high density" redevelopment tends to occur in a downtown's core. In addition to location, zoning has large implications on a community's ability to create or control density. Zoning controls can permit attached single-family homes and low-rise residential buildings to serve as a buffer between a community's downtown and detached single-family neighborhoods. Zoning regulatory processes, such as planned unit developments, provide a mechanism for the careful consideration that should take place to ensure that new development accentuates and complements a community's existing sense of place. Dense housing provides the population needed to patronize downtown businesses, and downtown residents help create a safe and lived-in atmosphere. Housing, retail, and office uses interact together to create a symbiotic relationship where sectors reinforce each other.vi As an added benefit of density, these commercial areas are often supported by the community as a whole; those that live in traditional single family neighborhoods also shop or dine there. ..m. u oumi�o k�u ramdn nmrv�dkleP and/or larger R�� er ielparii theater families No Id odl sgifts"'I hatter � �OIIIMIOOO�Q�Q1vQ01� to ifle@ppdl�ppbq �, A nh �� .m, ��D�9DWr�` rm m Pr^ ����11�ININININININIUU�' a convenience gll mamw Irwc�asi II�ll\0\\\V\�11111�� mmsag; �C,S � iouioioioioi :.:Grocery ����si �� re,at iii rg1 w��imstiii7i���a��01��1&����op :mrd iou����G ue �� N 00000000000000000000000 mr dt/ r m JU t ui�ma�tiS�iY�� a Gift Cotr%"���i c ; � a1 a ui�dmuuiamiotil��r�u�0o� �^ Q upscale pizza n��ll�i���»»i7�iuuuuuumu�Illl. �w � �� r�� uuuuuuuuui� {�«<titi»i�»uiuuuuuuuuu «u it �g �i����liouuiuuuuuuuuuuuu��l l'fffli0000000000000iu�r,� Iwiiaui v.�,llaV walk roc e r11 N � makeareeuui' �«i�� raeR bagel I Central r I' lit 4�" cell9 Retail �� �umtlUOdnTriarti mice Hwy F Page 16 Growing communities are tasked the need to provide additional services, infrastructure, housing, and transportation in a cost- effective and sustainable manner. With this in mind, sprawling, low-density development is unsustainable. Low density development is an inefficient and expensive way for cities to pay for basic infrastructure (roadways and schools, libraries, fire, police, and water/sewer services). While renters do not pay property taxes themselves, building owners do and at a higher rate than a traditional detached single-family home owner. Sprawling residential development tends to create increasingly longer commutes, forcing residents to travel via car to work or into commercial areas at a significant cost to the resident. Arguably, no tool is more important than increasing the density of existing communities when planning for sustainable growth.iv Dense, architecturally interesting, and walkable communities generate one-third of the amount of traffic compared to detached single-family homes (on a per unit basis). Related specifically to Mount Prospect, Village households drive more miles than the Cook County average, which is not only contributing to negative environmental impacts and increased traffic, it's also expensive. According to the Center for Neighborhood Technology, Mount Prospect residents travel 19,145 miles per year on average, nearly 3,500 miles more than the Cook County average. This equates to an additional $3,600 per year in transportation costs.vii As noted in the Homes for a Changing Region report, the biggest factor in reducing vehicle miles traveled is "putting offices, shops, restaurants, residences, and other codependent activities in close proximity to each other". Bikes parked in the Covered Bike Shelters, Downtown Mount Prospect, 2019 Page 17 Attractive, well-designed, and well-maintained higher -density mixed use development attracts good residents and creates a sense of place and community. By its design, multi -family mixed used developments seek to fill the needs of several population cohorts listed previously — empty nesters, millennials, and the like. Unlike traditional single-family housing, mixed use developments often address these needs in a public or shared -space realm. Attractive architecture, plantings, and outdoor amenities such as pocket parks, amenity decks, and indoor community/social room space take the place of large backyards and built -out basements. Walkable restaurants and parks provided in dense areas serve as gathering space to meet with family or friends. These features make dense development a more desirable place to live for certain segments of the population. Simply put, these residents view attractive apartments with a bevy of amenities as a unique community and not as a traditional rental property. Low-density subdivisions can isolate owners not only from shops and the greater downtown, but also from neighbors. Characteristics of mixed use, dense development create a unique sense of place - a neighborhood feel that is driven and supported by the constant interaction of residents, businesses, visitors and workers in a compact geographical area. Page 18 Image, above: City of Falls Church, Virginia [Patch.com] Image, below: Main Street Mural Art, Dubuque, Iowa. [www.otheplaceswego.com/amazing-public- art-in-dubuque-iowa] Developers cannot afford to provide the amenities desired by prospective tenants without having significant dwelling unit density to defray the costs. The most sought-after amenities (community kitchens, pools, dog parks, television entertainment spaces, sports courts, accessible rooftops, and lounge rooms) all represent significant investments by a developer and future property manager. These costs, which require ongoing maintenance to be successful, are only financially feasible if a rental property has enough tenants paying rent to support them. In addition, the most successful mixed-use projects locate near convenient transportation and viable businesses. Ideal locations for mixed-use in this regard are often infill or redevelopment sites, resulting in higher land acquisition costs when compared to greenfield development. To provide the type of high -amenity housing sought by many, the development should contain a mix of uses (both commercial and residential) and be dense enough to be financially viable. Page 19 Common Area Space at Hancock Square, Arlington Heights [www.ha ncocksqua rearl ington.com] While dense, mixed-use development benefits downtown activity, researchers at Virginia Tech University have concluded that over the long run, well-placed market -rate apartments with attractive design and landscaping also increase the overall value of detached houses nearby. viii Per the report, three possible reasons include: 1. The apartments themselves indicate an area's economic vibrancy and growth; 2. Multi -family housing increases the pool of potential future homebuyers, creating more possible buyers for existing owners when they decide to sell their homes; and 3. New multi -family housing, particularly as part of mixed- use development, makes an area more attractive than nearby communities that have fewer housing and retail choices. Another possible factor would be the redevelopment former vacant or industrial land located in or near a municipality's downtown. Removing vacant or derelict property from a municipality's downtown and turning it into a high-quality development is very likely to increase surrounding property values. Most people are surprised to learn that dense redevelopment could improve housing values, as opposed to harm them. The general public most often cite the negative externalities associated with dense development, such as traffic, for why property values are likely to decrease. Page 110 Image, top: Founder's Row, Emerson Street, Mount Prospect Image, bottom: Rowhomes at 105 E. Prospect Avenue, Mount Prospect Many transit -oriented development (TOD) proposals are abruptly halted or redesigned at lower densities due to fears that dense development will flood surrounding streets with automobile traffic. This was largely due to inaccurate trip generation estimates, which overstated the traffic -inducing impacts of TOD. Until very recently, there were no widely accepted trip generation numbers for transit -oriented development in suburban communities. In its latest traffic modeling update, the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) determined that mid- rise residential development located in a TOD setting only generates 3.44 vehicle trips per dwelling unit. The ITE has determined that detached single-family residences generate an average of 10 vehicle trips per unit, almost three times as many on a per unit basis.i- When carefully planned, TOD proposals have a significantly smaller impact on surrounding roadways than initially believed. There are many contributing factors to support this vehicle trip reduction: TOD sites are near transit, allowing commuting or visiting to be done by train or bus, they are built in areas that are walkable or bikeable, and apartments or condominiums included in TOD projects can have smaller household sizes than found in traditional single-family neighborhoods, due to the unit type (studio apartments versus a four-bedroom home). Mount Prospect has several developments which would be considered TOD: The existing Lofts and Shops building, Emerson, Village Centre, Clocktower, and Founders Row are examples. Future projects include 20 West, Central and Main [10 N. Main], and Maple Street Lofts would also qualify as transit -oriented development due to their close proximity to the Union Pacific Northwest (UP -NW) Metra line. Page 111 Image, top: Mount Prospect PACE stop, downtown Image, bottom: Mount Prospect Metra Station Several surrounding communities are experiencing significant downtown revitalization through an increase in density. Des Plaines is either building or planning to build 325 dwelling units on 3.23 acres in its downtown, a proposed density of 1oo.6 dwelling units per acre. The proposed Arlington 425 redevelopment in downtown Arlington Heights has a density of 111.5 dwelling units per acre (358 dwelling units on 3.21 acres). The planned 483 dwelling units in Mount Prospect have a density of only 55.5 dwelling units per acre (8.7 acres planned). For Mount Prospect, the current density of existing or approved projects is as follows: Project # of Units Acres Units/Acre 20 West 73 o.62 118 Emerson 54 0.75 72 Residences at Village Centre 205 3.30 62 Maple Street Lofts 313 6.5 48 Clocktower 139 2.95 47 Lofts and Shops 34 1.17 29 As noted in the chart above, 20 West development was approved in 2018 and has a density of 118 dwelling units per acre (73 dwelling units on o.62 acres). For proposed projects, Maple Street Lofts has a density of 48 dwelling units per acre (313 dwelling units on 6.5 acres). The 10 N. Main Street proposal has a density of 62 dwelling units per acre (97 dwelling units on 1.57 acres). Only the 20 West development has a density which rivals the planned mid and high-rise developments in surrounding communities. Dense mid and high-rise development is experiencing a renaissance in the northwestern suburbs of Chicago. With very little rental product built over the ten years post the 20o8 recession, the market supply is only now catching up with the demand for rental units. The Village of Mount Prospect must be keenly aware of this opportunity and would be wise to capitalize on it. Page 112 Image, top: Bayview/Compasspoint Development at Ellinwood and Graceland, Des Plaines [Daily Herald] Image, bottom: Opus Development at 1555 Ellinwood Ave, Des Plaines [Daily Herald] Mount Prospect is not immune to the demographic shift that is occurring across the country and within the region. Taking into account available capacity, Mount Prospect can accommodate just 33% of the projected housing units that could be desired by future residents by 2040. The remaining 67%, or nearly 6,000 people, represent unmet demand — people who want to live in Mount Prospect, but cannot find available units." The Homes for a Changing Region Report states: "Many of these people would be looking for small - lot single-family homes, townhomes, and multi- family units. The Village's current codes likely would not be able to accommodate this future demand without changes." [Emphasis added]° The report continues to show and estimated increase in demand for units by type, indicating a shortage of over Boo "small lot single family", 350 townhomes, and 1,300 multi -family units. This high demand for housing in Mount Prospect also includes rental units, particularly for those earning less than $35,000 or more than $5o,000 annually. Future rental housing demand for the next 30 years will be driven specifically by those age 25 to 44, particularly for both lower and upper income rental housing. To address this anticipated shortage, it is important for the Village to create rental housing stock that targets that specific age group — the Millennials. Due to the community preferences of this age group (noted previously), the most suitable location within the Village to generate rental housing stock is downtown. The Village of Mount Prospect has not added rental dwelling units to its downtown in more than 30 years. Adding more than 48o dwelling units (of which 427 are planned as rental) within downtown through the use of greater density will make living in the Village a possibility for a sector of the population that has had to look elsewhere for housing. With residential density comes supports for the local business economy. Considering the current state of Mount Prospect's downtown lacks the luxury rental dweller (which tends to have disposable income), many businesses in the downtown lament low patronage. The more than 48o planned downtown dwelling units would go a long way toward achieving the aforementioned symbiotic relationship and creating a centripetal force for the downtown. Page 113 Image, top: 20 West Development Rendering, Mount Prospect Image, bottom: Park Terrace Rowhomes under construction, Mount Prospect, 2019 The changing opinion of what constitutes desirable housing and community - thanks to shifting demographics - combined with the future housing demand projections, point to necessary density. This idea is further supported by sheer geographical location; Mount Prospect's train line, easy access to Chicago and the lack of open "greenspace" for new development also support density through redevelopment. Smart, sustainable, and thoughtful use of density will help address a true housing need, support viable business, protect and improve property values, and create a stronger sense of place. Moving forward, staff and elected officials should continue to monitor Village demographics and housing stock. Modifications to the Village's zoning code should be completed where applicable. It is recommended that staff and elected officials carefully evaluate mixed-use development projects on a basis of what is best for the community moving forward, understanding generational demand, future population projections, and differentiating between development impacts with or without basis. Image, top: 10 N. Main Rendering Image, middle: Maple Street Lofts Rendering, Buildings D and A Image, bottom: Maple Street Lofts Rowhomes Page 114 A shift in population demographics brought about by the millennial generation, now with an average age of 29, is having a significant impact on both the housing market and community development patterns. The sheer demand created by those that need housing combined with the desire to live in a community which provides convenience and housing choice are factors that should be addressed when planning for future development. The Chicago area is taking future housing planning seriously — the Homes for a Changing Region Report contains useful data on future housing needs for the suburban Chicago region and specifically, Mount Prospect. This 2013 report's future projections are starting to become evident, as surrounding communities respond with dense developments within their own downtown or key location areas (such as near highway access or major retail). It is important for Mount Prospect to understand future housing demand, assess the availability of the existing real estate and housing market, and consider the social and economic benefits of density. By not building any rental units in the Village for more than 30 years, Mount Prospect is missing out on a significant population that could support the existing commercial and office community, particularly downtown. The desirability of Mount Prospect (location, access to transit, and great amenities) continues to fuel demand for housing, specifically for the millennial age group and those making greater than $50,000 annually. This, coupled with the lack of units built in the region over the last ten years as a result of 2oo8's Great Recession, has significantly increased the demand for new multi -family rental product in the northwestern suburbs and Mount Prospect specifically. With more than 48o dwelling units planned in the downtown, of which 427 are market -rate rentals, the Village has an opportunity like never before to create a significant rental population in its downtown. Successful, well-planned housing density strengthens existing relationships between the business, office, and residential communities. It creates a unique sense of place of which residents throughout the Village would benefit. A rising tide lifts all boats; increased density and downtown rental units are a potential rising tide that the Village of Mount Prospect would be wise to capture. Page 115 U.S. Census Bureau.

Compatibility with existing uses in the general area of the Subject Property. The proposed amendment is compatible with existing uses in the general area of the Subject Property. The proposed plan is more dense on the north portion of the property (which is bordered by commercial use to the west, Metra tracks to the north, industrial use to the east) transitioning to a less dense use on the south portion of the property (which is bordered by residential use to the west, park district use to the south and office use to the east). 2. Compatibility with the zoning classification of properties within the general area of the Subject Property The proposed amendment is compatible with the zoning classification of properties in the general area of the Subject Property. 3. The suitability of the Subject Property with regards to the uses permitted under the property's existing zoning classification. The permitted uses under the existing zoning classification do not provide for the proposed development's uses. 4. Consistency with the trend of development in the general area of the Subject Property, including changes that have occurred under the existing zoning classification. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Village's efforts to redevelop the downtown. 5. The compatibility of the surrounding property with the permitted uses listed in the proposed zoning classification. The surrounding property is compatible with the permitted uses listed in the proposed zoning classification. 6. The objectives of the current Comprehensive Plan for the Village and the impact of the proposed amendment on the said objectives. The proposed amendment fulfills a longstanding objective of the Village to bring vibrant redevelopment to these parcels. 7. The suitability of the property in question for permitted uses listed in the proposed zoning classification. The property is uniquely suited to the uses in the zoning classification and in the development proposal. The Subject Property is in the downtown directly across the street from the Metra platform. The size of the property allows for a development of appropriate scale to improve foot traffic for downtown businesses and offer a lifestyle community unavailable in Mount Prospect today.

From: peter Wojtkiewicz, P.E., PTOE Date: October 15, 2018 Re: Mount Prospect Downtown Transportation Study ADDENDUM #1 Sam Schwartz Consulting (Sam Schwartz) was retained by the Village of Mount Prospect to update its Downtown Transportation Study (March 2018) to reflect the proposed residential development, Maple Street Lofts, to be located along Maple Street between Prospect Avenue and Lincoln Street. The following memorandum serves as an addendum to the March report, documenting new data collection and Sam Schwartz's methodology for traffic demand forecasting and analyses for this study. Recommended improvements are documented to improve the functionality of the existing local transportation system and mitigate anticipated traffic -related impacts resulting from the proposed development. Study Area The study area for the original transportation study generally included the downtown Mount Prospect intersections on either side of the railroad tracks from IL 83 to School Street, both signalized and unsignalized locations, as well as at Mount Prospect Road. To evaluate the proposed development, the study area was expanded for this addendum to include the following additional intersections: 1. Maple Street with Lincoln Street 2. Maple Street with the commuter parking lot driveway 3. Lincoln Street with the commuter parking lot driveway 4. Prospect Avenue with (future) Elm Street 5. Lincoln Street with (future) Elm Street Existing Traffic Volumes Sam Schwartz conducted field visits to collect relevant information pertaining to the site, the surrounding street network, traffic volumes, traffic controls, lane geometry, and infrastructure at the study intersections. The Village of Mount Prospect collected new morning (7:00 to 9:00 AM) and evening (4:00 to 6:00 PM) peak period traffic counts in September 2018 to supplement previous counts collected in May 2017. The Existing Traffic volume diagrams for the weekday AM and PM peak hours are shown in Figure 1. Counts indicate the peak hour of traffic occurs 7:15 to 8:15 AM and 5:00 to 6:00 PM. It should be noted that northbound Maple Street was closed just north of Lincoln Street for Mount Prospect Downtown Transportation Study - ADDENDUM 2 October 15, 2018 construction from 7:30 to 9:00 AM during the morning counts so that all vehicles intending to enter the commuter parking lot from the west/south entered using the Lincoln Street driveway rather than the Maple Street driveway. Review of the existing peak hour traffic volumes indicates the following: • Traffic on Prospect Avenue has decreased approximately 5 to 7 percent in the morning and evening peak hours, respectively, since the previous counts were collected in 2017. This may be in part attributable to the closure of the mill shop, Parenti & Raffaelli, Ltd., on Prospect Avenue and its relocation outside of downtown. Thus, traffic generated by Parenti & Raffaelli was generally eliminated from the study area. • The existing 280 -space commuter surface parking lot generate 185 trips (mostly inbound) during the morning peak hour and 130 peak hour trips (all outbound) during the evening peak hour. Additionally, the Appendix includes the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) map available from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). Daily traffic flow on the street network through and surrounding downtown indicates the primary traffic pattern avoids Northwest Highway through downtown, choosing to use Central Road and Mount Prospect Road to bypass the downtown area, and presumably, the delays experienced crossing IL 83/railroad tracks. This is indicated by the much lower traffic volumes on the segment of Northwest Highway between Central Road and Mount Prospect Road when compared to north of Central Road and south of Mount Prospect Road. Signal and Railroad Crossing Characteristics Peak period traffic congestion through the downtown area is caused by large traffic volumes crossing the Union Pacific (UP) railroad tracks at -grade, interrupted by a high number of commuter trains during the same peak period times, as well as emergency vehicles. The only two railroad crossings in the downtown area are IL 83 and Emerson Street. The traffic delays are compounded by the condition that the IL 83 and Emerson Street railroad gates remain down while Metra passengers board and alight the train, increasing the time traffic is stopped and significantly decreasing the efficiency of the three interconnected traffic signals along IL 83 and at Emerson Street and Northwest Highway. Data pulled from the IL 83 with Northwest Highway and Prospect Avenue signal controller shows that the crossing gates are down 32 to 34 of the peak 90 -minute traffic periods. This signal and railroad crossing information is summarized in Table 1.

The site is currently occupied by a 280 -space commuter parking lot. The adjacent site was formerly home to Parenti & Raffaelli, Ltd. Mill shop, which currently sits vacant on the site. The proposed site consists of the following: • 257 residential units in two apartment buildings with a total of 306 residential parking spaces • 10,000 square feet of ground -floor retail • 66 townhomes with two parking spaces per unit • 250 public parking spaces in a three-story parking structure • On -street parking along Prospect Avenue, (future) Elm Street, and other internal streets Elm Street will be a new public street extending through the site from Prospect Avenue to Lincoln Street. A new street will also extend east from Maple Street. Access to the uses on the site will be provided via these new streets and a series of driveways on Lincoln Street that directly serve the rear -loaded townhomes. As part of the development plan, the Village is planning to relocate 100 commuter parking permits from the Maple Street facility to the Village Hall parking garage in an effort to balance the additional traffic generated by the residential units. Commuters residing north of the tracks will be directed to the Village Hall parking garage to reduce traffic across the tracks during peak periods. This initiative will also remove trips coming to and leaving from the Maple Street Lofts site during peak hours. The remaining approximately 180 commuter parking spaces will be reserved in the new public parking garage on the site. The other parking spaces will be available to the public, including customers of the retail component of the site, as well as other existing businesses and events. Trip Generation The estimate of traffic to be generated in the future condition is based upon proposed land use type and size. The Institute of Transportation Engineer's (ITE) Trip Generation, 101h Edition was used to identify traffic generated by the Maple Street Lofts development concept. Table 2 summarizes the peak hour trip generation estimates, as well as the applicable Land Use Code reference. The data for the residential units, the apartments in particular, indicate they will be transit -oriented dwellings with a lower vehicular traffic demand than traditional suburban units. Many of the trips expected to be generated by the site in the morning and evening peaks will be person -trips oriented to and from the Metra station. The table also summarizes the commuter parking trips that are currently entering and exiting the surface lot on the site and the portion that will no longer be using the Maple Street facility as they are relocated to the Village Hall parking garage. Note that the total trips never equal the number of parking spaces because the table shows the peak one-hour period and the trips are disbursed across a two to three-hour window, not all arriving or departing in the same hour. Mount Prospect Downtown Transportation Study - ADDENDUM October 15, 2018 Table 2: Vehicular Trip Generation M New Trip Assignment The directional distribution of site -generated traffic is a function of several variables, including existing travel patterns, characteristics of the area street network, and characteristics of the surrounding neighborhoods. The resulting percentages are a best estimate using engineering judgment, familiarity with the area, and logical travel paths to likely origins and destinations for site users. The new residential/retail trips were assigned to the street network according to the directional distribution and are shown in Figure 2. The existing commuter trips captured in the traffic counts were assumed to remain on the street network to present a conservative worst-case scenario. However, 40 to 45 trips during the peak hour will actually be reassigned to the Village Hall parking garage and no longer enter or exit the site. The development -generated traffic was added to the existing traffic volumes to develop near- term future traffic conditions. The resulting Future Traffic volumes are shown in Figure 3. Capacity Analysis The operational effectiveness of transportation facilities is measured in terms of Level of Service (LOS). LOS ranges from LOS A to LOS F, with LOS A being the best level of operation for an intersection and LOS F being the worst. LOS A represents free-flow conditions where motorists experience a high level of comfort and convenience. LOS E represents saturated or at -capacity conditions, and LOS F represents oversaturated conditions. LOS at a signalized intersection is defined in terms of average control delay (measured in seconds per vehicle), which is the portion of total delay experience by a motorist that is attributable to the traffic signal. LOS A describes operations with minimal delays (up to 10 seconds per vehicle), while LOS F describes operations with delays in excess of 80 seconds per vehicle. At intersections with long cycle lengths, the quantity of red time that is allocated to an approach or movement may near or exceed that 80 -second threshold, increasing the likelihood of poor LOS. The LOS criteria for signalized intersections, as defined in the Highway Capacity Manual, Sixth Edition (HCM), are provided in Table 3.

This includes the time required for the vehicle to travel from the last -in -queue to the first -in -queue position. The LOS thresholds for unsignalized intersections, which differ from those for signalized intersections, are summarized in Table 4.

Highway Capacity Manual, 2010 Synchro 9 traffic analysis software was used to analyze the study intersections for the weekday peak hours under both existing traffic conditions and projected future traffic conditions with the addition of site -generated traffic. The capacity analysis results from Synchro provide average vehicle delays and LOS for each study intersection. SimTraffic, the traffic simulation module of the Synchro software package, was also used to develop traffic simulations for the existing and future scenarios to further inform traffic operations and to assist in determining the effectiveness of the existing roadway system. Traffic signal timings for the signalized intersections were obtained from IDOT's system and verified in the field. Summaries of the capacity analysis results under existing and future projected conditions are presented in Table 5.

Projected Future Traffic Operations The capacity analysis results show that almost all approaches and lane groups would operate at the same LOS as existing conditions and none would change beyond LOS D that are not already under LOS D, showing the increase in traffic is limited in its impact to LOS street operations. Alternatives Evaluation The overall purpose of the Downtown Transportation Study is to improve transportation conditions in the downtown. Through an alternatives evaluation, numerous improvement scenarios have been evaluated in the last several years. As detailed in the March report, however, traffic operations and the railroad signal system in the downtown area are complicated and highly interconnected, making a silver bullet solution difficult. Instead, the evaluation indicates several incremental improvements will overall result in marked operational improvements. Below is a brief summary of the alternatives studied and the outcome of those evaluations: Feasibility of At -Grade Crossing All railroads, including the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR), are generally opposed to any new at - grade crossings due to safety and maintenance issues. In the case of Mount Prospect, the UPRR has stated that for a new at -grade crossing, they would like to see three existing crossings closed. The Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) is the final authority for the authorization of any at - grade crossing in the state, and the UPRR will have significant input with the ICC for a crossing on their line. The ICC also would prefer to close crossings rather than open new crossings and even has a Crossing Closure Incentive Program to provide incentives for communities to close at -grade crossings. Considering these policies and that the crossing would require approval or permitting from ICC, UPRR, IDOT, and Metra, permitting a new at -grade crossing would need significant political support to be approved by those agencies. Physically, the analysis of a third at -grade crossing at Maple Street shows it is feasible with right-of-way acquisition, roadway and sidewalk realignment, and modifications (loss of parking) to the existing Metra parking lot. It also improves traffic operations and delay for through and turning movements at the IL 83 signalized intersections. The cost analysis projected a cost of approximately $5 million. Feasibility of Underpass The Downtown Transportation Study evaluated an underpass at School Street but determined substantial impact to resident and business access along Northwest Highway, Prospect Avenue, Mount Prospect Downtown Transportation Study - ADDENDUM 9 October 15, 2018 and School Street due to clearance needed under the tracks and maximum allowed slopes. In addition, a grade -separated crossing also requires approval from ICC, UPRR, and IDOT and UPRR policy for adding a grade -separated crossing is to attempt to eliminate one at -grade crossing. A detailed cost analysis has not been completed for this alternative but would be expected at $20 million or more. Closure of Prospect Avenue Long traffic signal cycle lengths at two of three signalized intersections along Northwest Highway and IL 83 are required because the current signal sequences require safety clear -out phases. Those long cycles cause all movements to experience lengthier delays than if the cycle length were shorter. In 2016, Sam Schwartz studied the elimination of several signalized phases at IL 83 and Prospect Avenue which would significantly improve the downtown traffic signal system but would require that Prospect Avenue be closed with cul-de-sacs at its current intersection with IL 83. The shorter cycle lengths would improve LOS at the IL 83/Northwest Highway intersection, as well as other intersections on the closed loop system. However, this alternative was not received well by key stakeholders and the public. Traffic Management Center Sam Schwartz previously looked at cost estimates for the Village to construct a Traffic Management Center (TMC), similar to Lake County's PASSAGE system, that would provide advanced real-time management of signalized intersections on certain systems in the Village. Our basic analysis in 2016 estimated a cost for a TMC that could easily exceed $1.5 million to convert several closed systems and cost approximately $150,000 annually in staffing and maintenance. Move Train Station/Platforms The Metra station in Downtown Mount Prospect is a key component in attracting residents and businesses to the area. However, the current location of the station and loading platform parallel to Northwest Highway between IL 83 and Maple Street causes traffic operational problems. The Downtown Transportation Study evaluated relocation options that would allow trains to be parked in the station and a clear zone set between the front of the engine and the IL 83 and/or Emerson crossings, potentially allowing the gates to reopen while the train is loading. Platform relocation either eastward or westward would require moving the train station depot to a point near the center of the relocated platform. To provide the same width between the railroad tracks and Northwest Highway that exists at the current depot location, significant land acquisition and the realignment of Northwest Highway would be required. Sam Schwartz estimates that either an eastbound or westward relocation would require a minimum land acquisition of 1.0 acre and a cost of $12-14 million. It would also move the Metra station from the heart of downtown. Move Inbound Trains In discussions between the Village, UPRR, and Metra, Metra is open to instructing eastbound train engineers to hit a certain pre -determined mark with the last engine to maintain the required clear zone that allows the railroad gates at the IL 83 crossing to return to the upright position once the train passes through the IL 83 crossing. This operational change may decrease the time gates are closed up to 11 minutes during the peak 90 -minute morning rush period and 4 minutes during the peak 90 -minute evening rush. Moving the inbound trains may require that the south platform Mount Prospect Downtown Transportation Study - ADDENDUM 10 October 15, 2018 be extended eastward approximately 250 feet. The cost analysis projected a cost of approximately $900,000. Relocation of Fire Station out of Downtown The Village is currently in the process of relocating its Police and Fire Department from its downtown Station 13 location on Northwest Highway. According to the department's information, there are approximately 4,500 emergency responses per year out of that station. Considering that two units typically respond to each call, there are at least 2,000 traffic interruptions per year caused by the pre-emptions. Observations and signal controller information indicate there is, on average, one call during both the morning and evening peak hours, which impacts traffic for approximately two minutes on each occurrence and is typically compounding or lengthening an already occurring traffic interruption. Relocation of the station so that emergency vehicles may avoid IL 83/Northwest Highway congestion would allow normal coordination plans to run for approximately 10 more minutes at programmed offsets by eliminating the transition period. The following Table 6 was compiled to illustrate the estimated incremental improvements that both moving inbound trains and relocating the fire station will have on the peak 90 -minute periods of traffic. Table 6: IL 83/Emerson Railroad Crossing Summary Morning (7:00-8:30) Evening (4:30-6:00) Train EmergencyI Train Emergency Vehicle Vehicle cn cn C: O U) U) C: c c c 0 0 0 :- CL 2 3 c3 CL Ca CL c iz I- i O ' i C CC: C O C CC: C O N= O E O CZ 70 O O O (n N O O O � '- Z C7 d Z W d Z U' d Z (n 0 Existing Condition 17 34 1 10 14 32 1 10 Improvements Relocation of Fire Station -1 -10 -1 -10 Move inbound trains -11 -4 Total (Projected Condition) 17 23 0 1 0 1 14 26 0 0 Pedestrian Push -Button Signals The current traffic signals at IL 83/Northwest Highway/Prospect Avenue and Emerson Street/Northwest Highway have one pedestrian push button on each corner. When pressed, the button calls for both crossings from the corner to be activated. This causes a false call in the unused direction which can create unnecessary green time for minor approaches and corresponding delays for major approaches. Morning pedestrian calls account for 22 seconds of delay per signal cycle (160 seconds total) and afternoon calls account for 16 seconds of delay Mount Prospect Downtown Transportation Study - ADDENDUM 11 October 15, 2018 per cycle (170 seconds total). By adding several push buttons and posts to these signalized intersections, pedestrians will be able to choose the crosswalk they intend to use, reducing the false calls and giving back green time to the highest traffic demand. The required process would be to submit plans and specifications to IDOT permits for approval and meetings with IDOT have indicated they are supportive of the improvement. IDOT Traffic Operations Department would handle coordination with ICC before IDOT ultimately issues the permit for construction. This is seen as a low-cost (approximately $65,000) improvement that would benefit traffic operations during 25 to 30 percent of the peak hour (five to six cycle lengths). Mount Prospect Road and Prospect Avenue This intersection is slated to be improved by IDOT and the signal timing may be adjusted by IDOT or one of their timing consultants after construction in the next five years. No street widening/capacity improvements are planned at this time. Field observations noted long queues eastbound on Prospect Avenue at Mount Prospect Road. The traffic volume distribution estimates approximately 10-20 vehicles will be added to the eastbound movements in the peak hours at that intersection under future conditions. Synchro analysis estimates this could lengthen the queue approximately 20-35 feet or one to two vehicles during the peaks. To accommodate the queues, Sam Schwartz evaluated the operational improvements of adding dual eastbound left -turn lanes on Prospect Avenue at the signal and the analysis shows the capacity improvement would reduce average delay by approximately 20 seconds and reduce eastbound queues by approximately 100 feet. The addition of dual lefts would require that Mount Prospect Road be widened (to approximately 35 feet) across the railroad tracks to accept the turning vehicles. Widening across the tracks is an expensive improvement considering a proposed crossing improvement would need to proceed through an ICC and IDOT approval process and involve train signal pre-emption equipment coordination. However, in the past, both IDOT and ICC have authorized geometric capacity improvements for existing railroad crossings. Signalization at Prospect Avenue/Emerson Street As part of the analysis, Sam Schwartz modeled the intersection of Emerson Street and Prospect Avenue under traffic signal control to test the operations compared to three-way stop sign control. The advantage of signalization is that the track clearance phasing will guarantee passage for both northbound traffic crossing the tracks through Northwest Highway and southbound traffic crossing the tracks through Prospect Avenue. The disadvantage, however, is that signalization will not significantly improve intersection LOS operations and it will degrade LOS at the Emerson Street and Northwest Highway intersection as more time will be required to be dedicated to clearance track phases, thus increasing the cycle lengths, for example from 85 seconds to 170 seconds in the PM period to match IL 83. The Emerson/Northwest Highway cycle length currently runs at half the length of the IL 83 signal cycles which has significantly reduced delays and queuing at the intersection. Move Permit Parking As part of the development plan, the Village is planning to relocate 100 commuter parking permits from the Maple Street facility to the Village Hall parking garage in an effort to reduce traffic demand in the immediate site area and balance the additional traffic generated by the residential units. The Village will target permit holders that live north of Northwest Highway to relocate to the Mount Prospect Downtown Transportation Study - ADDENDUM October 15, 2018 12 Village Hall parking garage where there is excess capacity and no need to cross the UP railroad tracks. This will reduce traffic crossing the tracks by 40 to 45 vehicles during the peak hour which will result in lower delays and shorter queues, particularly on IL 83 and Emerson Street. It also has the potential to offset over 30 percent of the traffic generated by the development, as summarized in Table 7. Table 7: Net New Trips to/from Site Land Use/ Size Weekday AM Peak Hour Weekday PM Peak Hour In Out Total In Out Total New Residential/Retail Trips 25 80 105 90 45 135 Relocation of 100 permits -40 0 -40 0 -45 -45 Net Vehicular Trips -15 80 95 90 0 90 Recommendations The evaluation indicates several incremental improvements will overall result in marked operational improvements. Sam Schwartz offers the following recommendations as incremental, near-term projects to improve traffic operations in the downtown area that have a high cost -benefit ratio (or are already planned). • The Village should continue to work with Metra to instruct engineers on eastbound (inbound) trains to hit a certain pre -determined mark with the last engine to maintain a clear zone that would allow the railroad gates at the IL 83 crossing to return to the upright position while the train is loading in the station but has passed through the IL 83 crossing. This operational change will reduce the duration gates are in the down position by 11 minutes in the peak morning period and 4 minutes in the peak evening period. Metra may require that the south platform be ultimately extended approximately 250 feet east. • Pedestrian posts and pushbuttons should be installed at the intersections of IL 83 with Northwest Highway and Prospect Avenue and the intersection of Northwest Highway with Emerson Street to improve the operational efficiency by eliminating unused green time caused by false pedestrian calls. This would benefit traffic operations during 25 to 30 percent of the peak hour (5-6 cycle lengths), and could reduce delay caused by unused vehicle green time up to 22 seconds per cycle length. • Relocation of the police and fire station will minimize pre-emption calls through the critical cluster of signalized intersections, particularly during the peak 90 -minute morning and evening rush periods, reducing signal offset transitions by approximately 10 minutes. • Neighborhood traffic control surrounding the Maple Street Lofts site should be provided as follows: o The intersection of Maple Street with Lincoln Street should remain under all -way stop sign control. Mount Prospect Downtown Transportation Study - ADDENDUM October 15, 2018 13 o The Elm Street (future) approaches at both Prospect Avenue and Lincoln Street should be under stop sign control, with Prospect Avenue and Lincoln Street remaining free flow (two-way stop controlled). o The new east -west street that will intersect Maple Street should also be under stop sign control with Maple Street remaining free flow. • As part of the development plan, the Village should relocate 100 permit parkers from the Maple Street facility to the Village Hall parking lot. In order for this to benefit traffic operations and eliminate trips crossing the railroad tracks, the relocated parkers will need to reside north of the railroad tracks. This relocation can offset over 30 percent of the peak hour development -generated traffic to and from the site. • As more pedestrian activity will occur at the intersection of Prospect Avenue and Maple Street with the development of the site, staff should evaluate pedestrian crossing placement and signage at the intersection in coordination with site plan development. • Staff should continue to monitor traffic volumes and speeds on surrounding neighborhood streets in the future and consider traffic calming measures as warranted as part of the Village's traffic calming program. Additionally, the following longer-term alternatives have merit and should continue to be evaluated by the Village: • In the long-term, the Village should pursue discussions with legislative representatives, the UPRR, and the Illinois Commerce Commission to determine if there is flexibility in the UPRR policy that requires three existing at -grade crossings be eliminated for one new at - grade crossing to be considered. • The Village should further study the intersection of Prospect Avenue with Mount Prospect Road to determine the costs and implications of widening Mount Prospect Road over the railroad tracks to accept dual eastbound left -turn lanes from Prospect Avenue.

Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting- March 14, 2019 PZ -20-18 Joseph Donnelly, Chair Mr. Cooney gave a brief history of the Subject Property and explained that the Village 2013 Downtown Plan called out the Subject Property as a key redevelopment site. Mr. Cooney further summarized the key differences between the original proposal with the revised proposal stating that Building A's height was reduced from eight stories to six, the number of rowhomes was reduced from 66 units to 56, and an interior court complete with open space was provided. The rowhome portion of the project was redesigned to provide street frontages on Maple Street, Lincoln Street, Elm Street, and Dawson Drive. Mr. Cooney gave a detailed summary of the traffic concerns brought forth by residents at the two public open houses that took place. He stated that capacity exists in the road network, and that the development will have a low impact on the existing traffic operations. He further stated that the Village in the process of addressing identified non -vehicle causes and additional improvements could be possible with TIF funds generated by the proposal. Mr. Cooney discussed the density of the development and compared it to other developments in the Downtown; stating the proposed development is most similar to the Clocktower development. Mr. Cooney gave a detailed explanation about the existing commuter parking and showed a chart explaining the commuter parking spots availability throughout the phases of the project. He stated that after construction the overall commuter parking inventory would be increased to 668 parking stalls, with 335 reserved for residents. Mr. Cooney stated the impact to schools would be minimal and addressed the impact on school districts 57 and 214. He stated that approximately 9 additional students would be generated by Maple Street Lofts Apartments and approximately 15 additional students would be generated by the Maple Street Lofts Rowhomes. He further explained that the Village is required to reimburse school districts an annual payment for any students generated by housing developments located in the TIF district. Mr. Cooney addressed stormwater management. He stated the existing conditions of the Subject Property is almost 100% impervious and drains into a combined sewer system. The proposed stormwater management will increase the greenspace and will have a proper stormwater system in place with multiple chambers.

AYES: NAYS: ABSENT: PASSED and APPROVED this day of April 2019. Arlene A. Juracek Mayor ATTEST: Karen M. Agoranos Village Clerk February 4, 2019 Arlene Juracek, Mayor Mike Cassady, Village Manager Nellie Beckner, Assistant Village Manager Bill Cooney, Director of Community Development Sean Dorsey, Director of Public Works ALL: William Grassi, Trustee Eleni Hatzis, Trustee Paul Hoefert, Trustee Colleen Saccotelli, Trustee Richard Rogers, Trustee Michael Zadel, Trustee On behalf of the Mount Prospect Downtown Merchants Association and the Mount Prospect Chamber of Commerce, we fully support all aspects of the plans for the proposed Maple Street Lofts project. We have attended many months of VBM and COW meetings, Open Houses and have had discussions with residents and business owners. Please read and accept the statements below as our responses to the concerns raised: Traffic —The "Traffic" argument is exaggerated. The population of Mount Prospect has tripled since 1960. Traffic in the city of Chicago at rush hour is traffic; what we have in our village are minutes of delay when hundreds of commuters are traveling to and from work during very specific times of day. This is anticipated and expected in every community. Out of Character —"Character" according to whom? The current character or "feel and appearance" of that block of the neighborhood is that of a factory. Density and RESIDENTS are necessary to support existing businesses and the kind of businesses younger residents expect in their downtown. Mount Prospect needs to meet the needs of its residents and that includes the younger demographic. The younger population who will occupy the majority of these units will utilize the train and frequent the businesses. This describes a healthy and growing community. This is part of long term goal planning and something which has been discussed at length for over a decade with many residents and business owners during that time period. Zoning/units per acre — As of the cost of land and new construction rises, projects going "up" makes these developments possible. The downtown business community can only be as robust as the number of residents who live IN the downtown area. Downtown Merchants Association members have repeatedly expressed that critical mass is vital to business survival. We greatly appreciate the experience and expertise from the participating engineers and project managers at Sam Schwartz and KLOA. Their detailed and thorough presentations in November were excellent, along with details and responses from Chris Coleman of Wingspan Development. All concerns and questions were handled thoroughly and professionally. Additionally, and equally important of course is the time, research, knowledge, talent, and review/recommendations provided by our Public Works and Community Development Departments. We are excited and proud of this and all proposed residential development projects. We strongly encourage the Board to move forward with Maple Street Loft project. Thank you. Respectfully subbiitte.d, Chriozonelos President D wn Fletcher Collins Executive Director Mount Prospect Downtown Merchants Association Mount Prospect Chamber of Commerce TO: Planning and Zoning Commission Members Chairman Joseph Donnelly FROM: Prospect Avenue Business Owners and Managers DATE: March 14, 2019 RE: MAPLE STREET LOFTS PROPOSAL Dear Members of the Mount Prospect Planning and Zoning Commission: As business owners along Prospect Avenue, we write to you in support of the Maple Street Lofts development proposed at the corner of Maple Street and Prospect Avenue in downtown Mount Prospect. We support this project as it relates to the long-term economic development goals of the downtown Mount Prospect corridor. A greater number of residents in our downtown region means a growing customer base for our existing businesses, a critical component to ensuring our success and, frankly, our survival. More residents into the area will spur future commercial development and invigorate our downtown. Not only will our downtown residents benefit from this growth, but we will draw surrounding residents into the area to frequent our shops, services, and restaurants. Following public input, the developer, Nicholas and Associates, has presented revised plans that effectively address the concerns raised by residents who live in the immediate area. The proposed development will be a welcome change on what was once an industrial woodworking site. Furthermore, an apartment development serves as an improvement to the previous use of this site and will complement already existing residential neighborhoods in the area. We support the Maple Street Lofts development project and respectfully request you approve the proposal at the March 14" Planning and Zoning meeting. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Kaitlin Skye Collins, owner the collective.

It is imperative to the growth and vibrancy of Mount Prospect that this project happen. Capannari Ice Cream will be celebrating its 19t11 season this year. We are blessed to have survived so many years. We have worked hard on our business but more importantly, we have worked hard on building a community. We understand the importance of collective thinking, agreed vision and overarching goals. Our survival depends on our fellow merchant's survival. We all play a role in driving the vision of Mount Prospect forward. The Maple Street Lofts bring the most important link to our chain. The project will bring density and create a tipping point of residents. That tipping point will drive retailers here and support those that are already established. Mount Prospect needs more residents to support the shops, restaurants and services in the downtown area. The Maple Street Loft proposal should be approved for the continued growth and positive direction Mount Prospect is headed. We have so much to be proud of in Mount Prospect, let's keep the momentum going for the future of our great town. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully, Katie Dolan Dix Capannari Ice Cream Ar A WINGSPAN DEVELOPMENT GROUP J: 1H H� P ',"R"-' I "I Maple Street Lofts Petition Maple Street Lofts is a proposed mixed-use development in Mount Prospect, IL, consisting of: 257 Luxury Apartments ® 56 Single -Family Attached Rowhomes ® 14,000 Square Feet Commercial Space 0 268 Space Parking Structure I support this project because it will bring new residents to Downtown Mount Prospect, creating more customers for Downtown's many restaurants, retailers, and shops, as well as revitalize a now vacant site in the heart of Downtown.

Signature: Print Name: Business Name: A L/ Address: Date: 1.3 March 14th, 2019 Dear Planning & Zoning Committee, We're writing today to encourage you to vote YES to the Maple Street Development. We have lived here now for 31 years. We're very excited for all the new developments and the giant leaps in progress that Mount Prospect is making. We have gone to the Open Houses and viewed what the plans for this development are. We don't have a problem with the original plans at 8 stories high, but we understand that some people do. We feel strongly that the developer has made many efforts to listen to the concerns of the residents and made adjustments. We have heard many of the complaints and we feel like there is a lot of misinformation out there causing these complaints. We like the new parking plans having the north side commuters parking in the Village garage which alleviates pressure at the main intersections downtown. I'm sure you've heard it more than once and from more than one source about the need for a grocery store. I agree, but I also know that we aren't going to get one if we don't have the density to support it. Unfortunately, many think we should have the stores come in first and then build around it, but no business is going to come here and lay out a lot of money to build out a business and then sit and wait for the town to come. We are also small business owners here for 25 years and know for all of the small businesses to survive we need more people and yes, more traffic. We think this is a well laid out, thought out plan and I hope you will vote YES to let this project move on to the next step.

We always held you as Mayor along with the trustees with respect. Respect that you would do what it right not only for Mount Prospect, but for the residents and the neighborhoods. I notice that most trustees don't live in the Lions Park area, so they probably don't care. You have heard it all ... and it is all true. Congestion on Prospect and very likely the side streets. Schools.... don't tell me it won't affect schools.... that you honestly can't say that it won't. Common sense says otherwise. Over load on sewers, etc. Then in the last issue of Mount Prospect news ... there is the issue of flooding. What a careless and insensitive comment that if you have a back up issue, just go and get a stand pipe. Shame on you. I know people who wanted to add on to their homes, but the Village would not let them because it would lessen the vard space. Now you are making your own rules and changing the zoning so more building can fit in a smaller area. There is hardly any green space allowed for this project. We are not against moving forward, but this is not moving forward. Cut the height of the building to 5 stories... apartments 4 stories.... maybe 25 - 30 row homes. Speaking of row homes, are they going to be the ugly ones this builder has built in Des Plaines with all the steps in front? Can't he come up with something attractive and appealing? The size of this will look so ugly and out of place .... it will ruin our whole downtown area. Retail .... it will have to be something really special to draw customers. It sure seems that there is money under the table here. The village manager came from Palatine after being fired there. According to friends in Palatine, they tell us to be careful of him. This really makes me nervous. This of course is hear say, but it does make a person wonder. NO NO NO...........................do not pass what it being presented. It is NOT in the best interest of Mount Prospect. The fire chief even said that their equipment will not reach all the way to the top of the condo building in case of an emergency. As stated..."WE WANT NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE VILLAGE THAT CONFORMS TO EXISTING ZONING CODES" Outsiders (Builders) are not welcome who will not build according to our zoning codes.

Emerson Street Mount Prospect, IL 60056 Dear Mayor Juracek and Board of Trustees: I am a 30+ year Mount Prospect resident and live 2- blocks west of Emerson Street on Lonnquist Boulevard. I am in favor of the Maple Street Lofts. DO NOT believe the quality of life and character of Mount Prospect will be negatively impacted by this development. On the contrary, I believe this would be a good development for Mount Prospect. The traffic that is experienced today is from commuters who do not live near the train. They are the ones that cause congestion during rush hour. It would not be by those who conveniently live near the train and can walk to "catch one." Parking shouldn't be an issue since there will be a new parking garage on site, in addition to the one we already have downtown. Please vote YES to the Maple Street Loft development. David Bottari 504 s Emerson Mt Prospect IL 60056 847 691 5241 3/27/2019 Mount Prospect Village Board of Trustees Village Hall 50 S. Emerson St. Mount Prospect, IL 60056 Dear Mount Prospect Village Board of Trustees, I am a resident of Mount Prospect and I am writing to express my concerns about the proposed Maple Street Lofts project composed of: 2 apartment buildings with a total of 257 apartments, 56 single-family rowhomes, a 14,000 sq. ft. commercial space and a Village -owned parking garage with 268 spaces. I do not support this project because as proposed it will: • increase density in a residential neighborhood located east of the core central business district of the Village; • increase traffic of all forms—pedestrian, vehicular and bicycle in the Lions Park Neighborhood and the surrounding area; • increase the commute times for Mount Prospect residents by building a parking garage to replace the Maple Street commuter parking lot; and • increase enrollment at already crowded District 57 schools specifically: Westbrook School for Young Learners, Lions Park Elementary School and Lincoln Middle School. The proposed project is moving ahead on the "fast-track" with the Village, which is not allowing Mount Prospect residents a fair opportunity to provide public comment and input on the development of this parcel. Furthermore, additional studies are needed to assess the overall impact a project of this size will have on the traffic in the neighborhood where the development will be located and the impact additional students will have on the already over -crowded schools, particularly Westbrook School for Young Learners and Lions Park Elementary. The Maple Street Lofts as proposed is too MUCH, too FAST! Therefore, I respectfully request the Village Board to vote "No" on Maple Street Lofts. Sincerely, David Bottari From: Jurarek.

Our downtown is dead in the evening. It can support only a very few restaurants which of course bring in tax money. The status quo means stagnation. We are so far behind! Last Saturday night we went to the Metropolis Theater in Arlington Heights. Every restaurant in the area was full and people were walking all around. It's a fun place to be. The theater was also full. I assume that all brings in tax money to the village. Even Des Plaines' downtown has more activity than Mount Prospect's. I do think the parking situation can be resolved without shelving the whole project. Please consider that many residents would like a more vibrant and welcoming downtown. Too often the vocal minority wins. Thank you for considering my input. Milli Cady 915 S Elm St Sent from my iPad Sent from my iPad Scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service. Mayor Juracek and Board of Trustees Village of Mount Prospect Village Hall 50 S. Emerson Street Mount Prospect, IL 60056 Dear Mayor Juracek and Board of Trustees: I am a 50 year Mount Prospect resident and oppose the Maple Street Lofts complex as proposed. I think the quality of life and character of Mount Prospect will be negatively impacted by this development and will further stress our existing infrastructure. I am not opposed to development, but believe any development in the area needs to conform to current zoning standards, including limiting building height to 80 feet or less and density not exceeding 16 to 30 housing units per acre. Moreover, the impact on traffic and commuter parking needs are of great concern. It is also shocking to me that the traffic study that was done, did NOT extend east to the other end of the block at School Street, bordering Lion's Park. This is especially alarming since it was brought up at the meeting that this ENTIRE block is up for redevelopment, from Maple Street to School Street. It's better to address our traffic and density concerns NOW vs. AFTER the development is said and done. Please LISTEN to the neighbors and do not allow the Maple Street Lofts project to move forward as proposed. Thank you, Signature: �4. cak�e° Print Name: Mary Campbell Address: 521 E. Lincoln Street, Mount Prospect, IL Dated this 2nd of April, 2019 50 years ago my parents packed up the station wagon and moved our family of 5, to sleepy little Mayberry. They chose Mt. Prospect (specifically the Lion's Park area) for the good schools and close proximity to the train. Living across from Lion's Park, we see an influx of residents (cars and foot traffic) on the surrounding streets for 7-8 months of the year. People flock to the Veteran's Memorial bandshell for concerts and veteran's ceremonies. They come to the park for football, baseball and soccer games and to join with our village emergency services to celebrate the National Night Out. They bring their kids to the playground, tennis courts and Big Surf Wave pool, as well as attend classes and meetings at Lions Park Rec Center. On an average day, parking on Lincoln street is relatively easy, but quickly EXCEEDS parking capacity and overflows on to William Street to the east and Maple Street to the west on days with almost any kind of park event. Then it's usually parking on BOTH sides of the streets to accommodate the additional vehicles. I can only imagine the impending gridlock, and safety worries with the addition of the Maple Street Lofts. A couple years ago a village employee suggested I apply for a position with the village. As a long time proud resident on Mt. Prospect, I jumped at the chance... but was soon told (off the record) that the village would rather hire a shiny new 20 something with no relevant experience, than a 50 something with the experience they were looking for. With no ties to Mt. Prospect, she left the job within 2 years. What's my point you ask? For some reason, the village is eagerly courting shiny new potential RENTERS, while dismissing the voices of 777 current residents (at last count, who signed the petition) who are passionate about their neighborhood and have valid concerns about the potential new development. Historically, renters don't have the same investment in their home/neighborhood/town, that homeowners do, and yet our concerns are being MINIMIZED. We've heard that bringing these new residents will bring businesses to our town. But then I ask, what have we done to encourage long time businesses (like Keefers for example) to stay? Mt. Prospect could and SHOULD be a destination town. We should be courting new unique businesses, making it a place people come to for a great restaurant or unique shop, not a place where people rent, and hop the train for their favorite sushi place. The Farmer's Market and Friday Concerts on the Green are great examples of how current residents from all over town, (not just those in close proximity to the center of town), participate in village events. I would hate to think we've hired village officials, who've forgotten who they're working for. A very large number of residents are voicing their concerns about the density of this development, the height of the buildings and the overall impact on their neighborhood. We're not suggesting the development be scrapped, just that the development strictly adhere to existing density requirements for the area, while lowering the height of the buildings out of respect for the existing neighbors and topography of the surrounding neighborhood.

We have reviewed the Traffic Study and related articles on how traffic could be controlled, but none of the information provided thus far actually explains how this would not have an adversed affect on our streets.

The project is an opportunity to enhance the residential density of the downtown area to better support existing and attract new business. Aside from Busse Automotive and the small business next door the area is transitioning from commercial spaces to residential. The proposed MSL development is a fitting addition to the area. While I hear the concerns that nearby residents have regarding increased traffic, their fears are not supported by traffic studies of similar developments in other communities. The notion that all apartment and townhome residents are going to leave at once in the morning and return at night is simply not factual. Development is a give and take between the Village and the developer keeping the needs of the community in the forefront, not just for today and tomorrow, but for the next 20 years. Thank you in advance or considering this new opportunity carefully and keeping ALL the residents of Mount Prospect in mind, not just those that are more vocal, throughout your deliberations and final vote.

Prospect as long as it reasonable and fits within the character of the surrounding neighborhood. I do not believe Maple Street Lofts does as it is currently proposed. This development will be the third "luxury" apartment development in downtown Mt. Prospect with one being built now and another at or near Village approval. I fear a glut of luxury apartments if Maple Street Lofts is allowed to add an additional 2S0+ luxury rental units to the mix. I agree that apartments are needed to attract and keep younger adults in Mt. Prospect. I disagree on the number of "luxury" units needed. I am very concerned about the height of the proposed apartment buildings. These buildings are twice the height of other buildings in the area which are one, two, or three story buildings. The proposed six and seven story apartment buildings do not fit with the character of the neighborhood and will stick out due to the height of the buildings. I know that traffic studies have shown no negative affect on the area as a result of the density of the proposed project. However, these traffic studies have been performed now before the other two luxury apartment developments have been completed. The Village has expressed a concern already with traffic tie ups due to train traffic. Moving the train station further east appears to be the only solution, but this comes with a large financial cost (building a new station, adding platform length, track re -alignment to make room for extended center platform). Part of Mt. Prospect's charm is the homey, small town feeling amid the suburban sprawl. I believe Maple Street Lofts as currently proposed does not fit in with that image. As currently proposed, Maple Street Lofts is not reasonable, doesn't fit within the character of the surrounding neighborhood, and does not fit with Mt. Prospect's image as a homey, small town.

Emerson St. Mount Prospect, IL 60056 Dear Mount Prospect Village Board of Trustees, I am a resident of Mount Prospect and I am writing to express my concerns about the proposed Maple Street Lofts project composed of: 2 apartment buildings with a total of 257 apartments, 56 single-family rowhomes, a 14,000 sq. ft. commercial space and a Village -owned parking garage with 268 spaces. I do not support this project because as proposed it will: • increase density in a residential neighborhood located east of the core central business district of the Village; • increase traffic of all formspedestrian, vehicular and bicycle in the Lions Park Neighborhood and the surrounding area; • increase the commute times for Mount Prospect residents by building a parking garage to replace the Maple Street commuter parking lot; and • increase enrollment at already crowded District 57 schools specifically: Westbrook School for Young Learners, Lions Park Elementary School and Lincoln Middle School. The proposed project is moving ahead on the "fast-track" with the Village, which is not allowing Mount Prospect residents a fair opportunity to provide public comment and input on the development of this parcel. Furthermore, additional studies are needed to assess the overall impact a project of this size will have on the traffic in the neighborhood where the development will be located and the impact additional students will have on the already over -crowded schools, particularly Westbrook School for Young Learners and Lions Park Elementary. The Maple Street Lofts as proposed is too MUCH, too FAST! Therefore, I respectfully request the Village Board to vote "No" on Maple Street Lofts. Sincerely, Mary Floyd I am Sharmi Gandhi, and have been resident of Mt. Prospect since 1972. Mt. Prospect has grown from the population of 28,000 people to more than 56,000 people. During this time, Mt. Prospect has undergone demographic change, but the quality of life has changed for the better. I would like this to happen in the times to come. Unfortunately, quality of life will go downward as the proposed building moves upward. make this representation to oppose it through my voice, as I am not financially coequal to the promoters of the proposed buildings, who lacks stake in living a quality life in my neighborhood. In other words, the deficiencies in my finances are made up by the strong opposition expressed through the spoken words. I expect that my words will be given deference by the decision makers at a higher level than those who seek to have their ways through money power. Tangible benefit from living in my home is the quality of life. Sun rises in the morning, I saw it when we moved into our home, and I continue to see it. Sunshine brings smile. This is a necessity to fight secondary diseases. Schools have improved from being average to offering rigorous education. Parental involvement, students' effort along with teachers' dedication made Prospect High School students to become high achievers. Over time some neighborhood schools may have been emptied due to shortages of students. This has resulted from people like my self are not moving out of their home to be taken over by parents having school aged children. Central question that has to be addressed is will the construction of a multi -story building result in an improvement or worsen the quality life? The follow-up questions to ask are whose life will improve, and whose life will worsen? The promoter of the construction of the building will improve their life due to the money to be made, The life of the current residents will worsen. There will be less sunshine on sunny days. The tall buildings will block the sunlight. With the increase in the residential occupancy, there will be an increase in congestion and traffic. The impact will be experienced by lack of availability of parking space when my children, friends and other relatives visit me. Traffic will worsen, which means that it will be complicated to drive in the neighborhood when going for grocery shopping. One of the reasons to move to Mt. Prospect was to have less congestion. It Is one of many concerns. I don't want this congestion to be brought to the local area. One question that arise is that why make representation at my age? After I am gone, this home will be occupied by any of my grandchildren. I have to ensure that they will have access to quality life that our family has experienced. 0/0 E E 0 0 L- ,2 4- fll Ln Ln m 4� CY) m W -0 0' L- CL LA cif 0 1 QJ 4� 4� Lf) t 0 CL GL Ln J "P ........ .... as Ln (n O hl< 4-J Ln Ln co: ro 4-J 0 4-j V) D _0 E ru C: C :L> 0 4-j Ln c: 0 rl AA (V OJE L- 4-j C: C C +j 0 >- Ln 0- m > 0 > +D C ro 0 Cj 4J dE u7 0 x OJ Ln 0 0 0 t E 7& E 0 N aj 4- ro C w 0 M:L- ro > -C ai C: aj I— u 0 4- a) w cy- a) --a 0 0 E E 0 0 L- ,2 4- fll Ln Ln m 4� CY) m W -0 0' L- CL LA cif 0 1 QJ 4� 4� Lf) t 0 CL GL Ln J "P ........ ....

Thank you, Steve Goodman 516 S Owen ST March 25, 2019 Mount Prospect Village Board of Trustees Village Hall 50 S. Emerson St. Mount Prospect, IL 60056 Dear Mount Prospect Village Board of Trustees, I have been a resident of Mount Prospect for nearly 17 years, and I am writing to express my concerns about the proposed Maple Street Lofts project composed of: 2 apartment buildings with a total of 257 apartments, 56 single-family rowhomes, a 14,000 sq. ft. commercial space and a Village -owned parking garage with 268 spaces. I do not support this project because as proposed, it certainly will increase: • density in a residential neighborhood located southeast of the Village's central core business district; • all forms of traffic—vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle in the Lions Park Neighborhood and the surrounding area; • commute times for Mount Prospect residents by building a multi-level parking structure at the current Maple Street commuter lot with more space one block north of the train station; and • enrollment at already crowded District 57 schools specifically: Westbrook School, Lions Park Elementary School and Lincoln Middle School, which the Village will fund with our tax dollars. I am even more convinced of these and other issues after having heard of these plans from both the Village and Builder at a recent Planning and Development meeting. I believe that this project will detract from Mount Prospect being a great place to live and raise families while expanding existing vacancies in buildings throughout the downtown. The proposed project is moving ahead on the "fast-track" with the Village, which is not allowing Mount Prospect residents a fair opportunity to provide public comment and input on the development of this parcel. Indeed, additional studies are needed to assess the overall impact a project of this magnitude will have on first responders and other infrastructure services, traffic throughout neighborhoods adjacent to this property, and the impact of additional students and the necessary support of Village funds. The Maple Street Lofts project as proposed is too MUCH, too FAST! Therefore, I respectfully request the Village Board to vote "No" on Maple Street Lofts. Sincerely, Paul Grippo 403 S.

They were feeling that the people against the Maple Street Lofts were coming across somewhat negatively. They suggested coming up with a list of 10 things that needed to happen for this group to support the development. I guess bringing forth valuable suggestions which would allow the group to support some development. For example, if the city did an independent traffic study and shared the results with the community might be one suggestion. Another might be an independent study on which demographic might move in (families with kids, etc.) Anyway, the idea is to create constructive discourse instead of just saying no. I'm not certain if this has already been done; however, I think that it is a great idea. Sincerely, Trish Haban Sent from my iPhone Scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service. April 3rd, 2019 Dear Mayor and Trustees, We're writing today to encourage you to vote YES to the Maple Street Development. We have lived here now for 31 years. We're very excited for all the new developments and the giant leaps in progress that Mount Prospect is making. We have gone to the Open Houses and viewed what the plans for this development are. We don't have a problem with the original plans at 8 stories high, but we understand that some people do. We feel strongly that the developer has made many efforts to listen to the concerns of the residents and made adjustments. We have heard many of the complaints and we feel like there is a lot of misinformation out there causing these complaints. We like the new parking plans having the north side commuters parking in the Village garage which alleviates pressure at the main intersections downtown. I'm sure you've heard it more than once and from more than one source about the need for a grocery store. I agree, but I also know that we aren't going to get one if we don't have the density to support it. Unfortunately, many think we should have the stores come in first and then build around it, but no business is going to come here and lay out a lot of money to build out a business and then sit and wait for the town to come. We are also small business owners here for 25 years and know for all of the small businesses to survive we need more people and yes, more traffic. We think this is a well laid out, thought out plan and I hope you will vote YES to let this project move on to the next step. Thank you, Roberta Hamann Patrick Hamann Tom Nelson Shallcross, Jason From: Christina Intounas <christinaintounas@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2019 10:57 AM To: Shallcross, Jason Subject: Maple Street Lofts Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged Good morning, I will not be able to attend the Village meeting this Thursday but wanted my voice to be included in the Maple Street Loft (MSL) planned development. I completely oppose the Maple Street Lofts. I live a few houses away from Lions Park and have 3 kids in District 57 schools. I also own a local long time business. I include this information to show that I have a interest both as a resident and a business. As you know Mount Prospect residents were recently faced with the D57 referendum. One of the driving concerns was over crowding of our schools, with mobile classrooms having to be installed at Westbrook. We are one of the few school districts that do not offer and cannot offer full time kindergarten because space does not allow it. It was always a running comment by kindergarten families that we felt it was an extension of preschool rather than kindergarten. With the referendum passing I now have to pay over $1,400 per year. That is not the issue. The issue is now I will have to worry about over crowding in our schools because of the MSL in my backyard. Not only is overcrowding in our schools a concern but also the traffic, both foot and automotive. I understand that MP is trying to move forward but this is not the proper way. I keep hearing trustees comparing MP to Arlington Heights. AH has new schools that don't need new funds from the community to enlarge and rebuild or maintain. They had a plan that include all entities of the village and made a decision that was best for the current residents both financially and local offerings. I lived in AH for 25 years. Gowing through the school district and as an working adult. MP recently passed video gaming that I followed very closely. The businesses that lobbied for video gaming gave reasons to compete with neighboring businesses. With one of the louder voices having sold their business after fighting for video gaming. They fought for video gaming in my town then got up and left. We now have video gaming at some of the establishments that we USED to frequent. I will not bring my family to these establishments. I believe a food establishment should make money from food. If they can't, they have a poor business model. It seems that MP is leaning on the interest of businesses and not the residents. We as a community need more transparency from our village before plans are created. We feel that we are constantly battling the village, school district and park district. All of which do not work together for the better of the community. MSL is not the answer to Mount Prospect's concerns. - Christina Scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service.

How does this particular development fit with your vision for Mount Prospect? This development is out of character with the entire streetscape of Prospect Ave from Central Road to Mount Prospect Road. Nothing on Prospect Ave, including the new row home developments at Edward and Elmhurst, exceeds 3 stories in height. Nicholas is proposing to build 2 multiple story buildings (exceeding our 80 feet zoning restrictions for multifamily residences, such as have currently been limited to the triangle area), into a part of town which is several stop signs/lights away from any major arterial street. And once you break the height barrier for this development, what's next up and down Prospect Ave and Northwest Highway? How do you envision our village? We seem to be veering from the most current comprehensive strategic plan dated 2013 to no plan at all and just settling and being grateful for whatever developers offer us. I would be delighted to learn that something in the order of what is being built on Elmhurst Ave behind the post office is being proposed. Why can't we consider something of this scope for the property under consideration? The current proposal is much too dense for the neighborhood and infrastructure. Please give some consideration to the impact such density will have on those of us living anywhere near Prospect Ave, as well as the impact on the traffic that daily backs up on 83 and Emerson from the tracks to Lincoln. Please consider the already crowded class rooms at Westgate, Lions Park, Lincoln and Prospect, as well as the impact on the MP commuters who park daily in the Maple St lot, etc. There are many details about this project that raise concerns starting with the transfer of 2.2 acres of public lands to a developer without a request for proposal from other developers, much less community input from the residents who use this land on a daily basis. I am referring to the Maple Street Metra surface parking lot. The inclusion of this property in the Maple Street Lofts proposal has been obscured on numerous occasions. I have documents on file demonstrating these omissions. Surface parking lots may not be good for the EAV but they are preferred buy commuters for their safety and ease of use. In the 2013 plan we were going to increase commuter parking at this site by 150 spaces - this plan reduces it by 100. Concerns about traffic are being dismissed by a flawed traffic study. See video from Village Board Meeting on Nov 212018 where flaws in the traffic study are discussed at length by concerned and informed citizens. No other PUD in the village has been proposed in an area without direct access to major arterial streets. The project is out of place. School enrollment estimates proposed by the developer are a full 200% below current enrollments from nearby 2 and 3 bedroom townhomes. Green space is minimal; sustainabilility of design elements is not even considered. Can you please slow down and give this major of a move in city planning more time to study the impact more fully? Where is the needs assessment? Where is the environmental impact study? Has a stress test for adverse economic conditions be studied? etc. You are currently handling so many proposals - 20 West, the police and fire stations, 17-19 N Elmhurst, the "pocket park", Central/Main property, the list goes on. And there are a lot of unhappy Mount Prospect residents feeling unheard about those projects. Contentious village board meetings are becoming the norm. If that doesn't make you want to pause and consider, I don't know what will. Why not wait and see how the current Nicholas project pans out in terms of impact on our schools, traffic, etc. and delivery on promised EAVs before we jump into yet another deal with them that is 4 times the scope and in a groundbreaking area of town. Let's give this some time for public discussion. What's the rush? See attachments for additional information.

Recent TOD projects have often catered more to young professionals, empty nesters or other households without children, as these have been seen as the strongest market segments for transit - oriented housing. However, building TOD that better accommodates the needs and preferences of families with children is an increasing concern for communities around the country. This growing field is based on the idea that TOD focused on accommodating families can both attract new populations to live near transit and help retain existing residents in these locations, making neighborhoods and regions both more competitive globally and attractive locally http://ctod.org/pdfs/tod205.pd Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design in Parking Facilities by Mary S. Smith, US Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, National Institute of Justice, Research in Brief, April 1996 Key issues: Because parking facilities comprise a large volume of space with relatively low levels of activity, violent crime is more likely to occur in a parking facility than in other commercial facilities. Key findings: Municipal governments can have a major influence on building design, and local officials can play a much stronger role in fostering security planning. lb;t:u:,P..':��.p.:� ;,.�� iris, irk;Dji,� �,�;Il;��;��, ,ir;. ira�/Oc.95/3588e001d666919cga0f55ef3650d995f.pdf WINGSI.,kN DEVELOPMENT GROUP Maple Street Lofts Petition Maple Street Lofts is a proposed mixed-use development in Mount Prospect, IL, consisting of. ® 257 Luxury Apartments ® 56 Single-Fainily Attached Rowhornes 0 14,000 Square Feet Commercial Space 0 268 Space Parking Structure I support this project because it will bring new residents to Downtown Mount Prospect, creating more customers for Downtown's many restaurants, retailers, and shops, as well as revitalize a now vacant site in the heart of Downtown.

Due to family commitments I am not able to attend the meeting Thursday night. Please consider our comments. Our concerns specific to Maple Street Lofts include 1. Scale of the buildings. Nothing in the immediate vicinity if the Maple Street Loft project is as tall as what is proposed. It simply does not fit in with the rest of the neighborhood. The proposed structures would tower over other residences and buildings in the surrounding area. 2. Commuter parking. The Maple Street lot is near or at -capacity. I know because I park there every weekday. Capacity of the proposed parking deck is not sufficient for current users of the lot. The alternatives suggested by the Village for parking north of the train station is reasonable but still does not give sufficient parking options — and still exacerbates traffic problems around the area. What is the expected price of commuter parking in this new structure? How many daily pay spaces vs. monthly parking passes will be allocated? 3. Impact on the schools. Our children will soon start going to Lions Park School. We are concerned about overcrowding. 4. The proposal exceeds zoning for the area. Too many people in too small of a space. 5. Traffic in the area of Rt 83 / Northwest Highway / Emerson / Prospect Ave is already congested during the morning and evening commutes, and busy times on weekends. Adding all these homes, apartments, etc. will only exacerbate the problem. 6. The proposed plan has little green space. As homeowners we must maintain a ratio of green space vs. structure. Maple Street Lofts should be held to the same standard. 7. It is understandable and responsible for Village to attract new business and residents to the community. The Maple Street Loft project is ambitious; perhaps too much so given the other projects already in the works — the tower at Rt. 83 and Northwest Highway, the apartment block at Rt. 83 and Central recently approved (story in Daily Herald), and the proposed work at Rt. 83 and Prospect Ave. It is our opinion the Village would be better served by pausing the Maple Street Loft project all together and waiting to see the results of developments already under way. If the project does proceed, it should be done on a smaller scale. Respectfully, Robert and Kathleen Ksiazek & family 711 S Louis Street Mt.

Signa Print' Addrc Date: March 30, 2019 Via Email Only Mount Prospect Village Board of Trustees Village Hall 50 S. Emerson St. Mount Prospect, IL 60056 Dear Mount Prospect Village Board of Trustees, We are residents of Mount Prospect of 13 years and we are writing to express our support about the proposed Maple Street Lofts project composed of. 2 apartment buildings with a total of 257 apartments, 56 single-family rowhomes, a 14,000 sq. ft. commercial space and a Village -owned parking garage with 268 spaces. We support this project, among other reasons, because it will: • increase the much needed level of diversity and culture in our residential neighborhood; • increase the variety of businesses on the south side of the tracks; • keep MP residents from going to Des Plaines or Arlington Heights businesses; • generate economic growth of MP; and • allow for more residents downtown to support existing small business and attract new ones. The proposed project will not affect the overcrowding issue in our schools as the majority of renters will not have school aged children. In addition, we assume that there would be more tax base supporting the schools. The concern of traffic is important to us and we would like to see a specific plan developed by the village to address this. We live on the corner of S Albert and Council Trail and it is often a speed zone where drivers are weaving through to avoid Mount Prospect Road traffic. We do believe that this would get worse, as would traffic on nearby side streets. If the village developed a clear plan to address this, more citizens might support the construction. Despite this issue, we feel that there are many more benefits to the construction and we express our support.

My husband and I will not be able to attend this Thursday's (3/14) meeting on the Maple Street Loft project, but as citizens of MP, we wanted to voice our concerns for the record. I understand that new construction and housing can draw people to our town, but I feel that this project is just not right for the area you want to place it in. I feel that it will cause more problems in the end, and there is no going back once it is started. We need more retail to draw people in, not more residences. I have read up on the proposed plans, and they are 'wrong' in so many ways... Current commuter parking is 280 spaces in the lot you all want to build on. You say proposed parking is 180 in the garage along with 63 street parking for residents. This is still 37 spots shy of what we currently have. I have seen this lot at capacity during the work week, so losing 37 spots means 37 cars need to find alternative parking. For my side of the tracks, the only real options are parking farther down Prospect Ave, or attempting to cross the tracks to get to what I am guessing is the public lot by city hall. The other parking lots that are along side the tracks and NW Highway also are full. I also heard rumors that the physical train station might be moved, so that further away parking might become an even longer walk. And, in general, crossing the tracks at rush hour can be brutal, even without the new development. I read that there will be 313 new residences between all the buildings being constructed. This means the possibility of 100+ children entering our school system (never mind the other residences you are putting up in the middle of down town or the proposal over by 83 and Central). We already had to have a property tax hike to accommodate our schools and now you want to add a bunch more kids in a short amount of time to schools that are already stretched. We are known for our great school system, but now it is on a decline. People with kids won't want to move here, and you might lose residents that end up trying to find something better for their kids. I personally do not have children, but if I do in the future I know I would move if the school system is over populated and under staffed/under funded. I have heard that the zoning code in the area calls for a density of 30 people/acre. This proposal blows that away at 60 people per acre. Why is this suddenly ok? Our neighborhoods can get crowded at times, but now you are doubling the amount of people in a very small space, in an area that is crowded with traffic and pedestrians on a normal day. While I agree that more retail space is a good thing, I feel it is out of character for Maple Street. That area is fading into the neighborhoods and parks, so it does not need the added traffic of retail. And, as a retailer do you really want to be in a part of town that is hard to get to and very crowded at rush hour? Other than those living in the project and maybe some nearby homes, who would go visit these retailers? I also take issue with the height of the buildings. I saw the diagram comparing the work to other structures, but most of them are in Arlington Heights. I cannot see them from our town, and our town has nothing that big... especially in the neighborhood. The structure is also shorter than the Empire State Building, but that doesn't mean it fits in with the neighborhood. While the renderings look nice, the height and size of the project is just out of place for this part of MP. In the downtown area or down Northwest Highway, maybe. But not in the neighborhoods where 99% is 1 and 2 story homes. I realize there was a traffic study done, but I feel like even if that study thinks things will not be too bad, it will be. Right now, if you are anywhere near Emerson/Maple and Prospect at rush hour, it is very congested. You have cars coming in and out of the parking lots, cars trying to get across the tracks, plus hundreds of people trying to get to and from the train. And, a lot of time at the Emerson/Prospect intersection, it backs up a lot on both roads because only so many cars can get across the tracks to the NW Highway light, and all traffic from these two streets has to stop when the light goes green since the people crossing the tracks from the Starbucks side get the right of way. Add the many trains at rush hour, and you really don't get anywhere fast. The intersection at the tracks on 83 is not much better. Now you propose the possibility of 100+ more cars and/or pedestrians. I don't see that malting a minor change. Even if you move the station somewhere else, there still will be traffic, and it will still be worse with the new project. People will still park in that lot, and people living there will still drive somewhere. Did you also take into consideration the neighborhoods? During rush hour "main" neighborhood roads like Emerson and Council Trail see a heavy amount of cars. What's to say that the Maple Street Loft residents won't use the neighborhoods to get around or that others, in an attempt to avoid the new horrible traffic find other ways to cut through the neighborhoods? I have a feeling that a lot of those people won't be doing 25 MPH and some people might not follow the rules of stop signs either (I have had a few near hits at S Wille and W Shabonee where the Shabonee driver doesn't realize that the Wille driver has no stop). I do not object to giving the area an update with better parking and some residences, but I do object to the current proposal - it is too much in many different ways for our area. I would considered a large downsize to the project, like two or three story townhomes, but not this monster of a project. Thank you for your time.

I chose to live there because of Lions Park, Lions Park School and the park district facilities. This area is surrounded by single family homes, townhouses and two 3 story apartment building. Yes, only 3 story apartment buildings, which does fit in with the character of this area I live in. I can't believe the village is considering is erecting 6 and 7 story building 2 blocks away, which will most definitely have a negative effect on this community and the area I live in. I wish the village would put resident's concern before the almighty dollar. It just seems that the village just wants to recoup get the millions they spent on acquiring and demolishing that property no matter how it affects the residents, traffic, school overcrowding, architectural character of the area. I am not against developing this area, but not with retail and not with hi rises. Row homes are fine (there are row homes along Prospect Ave and they fit in just fine) and any multi level building should be kept to what is already on the south side of the tracks, no more than 3 stories. And I am not in favor of a 4 level parking garage that provides even less parking.The density will not only cause increased traffic at Northwest Hwy but up and down Prospect and Lincoln. Lincoln Street traffic will increase to a point I feel that will be unsafe. This project will look like a monstrosity if it goes through. And I heard our Fire equipment doesn't reach that high. So does the village then spend more money on new fire equipment? It was mentioned at a meeting that the village will use surrounding suburb's equipment; I certainly wouldn't want to be in the upper floors for an additional 10 or 15 minutes waiting for another suburb to come to the rescue. I have no confidence in those on the village board or who want to be on the board that are so gung ho about this project. How about all those businesses that are vacant (Keefer's former location, another empty spot a few doors west, and a myriad of empty businesses in and around the downtown area of Mt Prospect? Why doesn't the village work on bringing businesses to fill those empty spaces? I think row houses fit in with the character of this side of the tracks as does an apartment building no higher than 3 (at the most 4) stories high. I am not even comfortable with a 4 level parking garage. What is being proposed is just too dense and out of character for this side of the tracks. Scaling back an 8 story building to a 7 story building is an insult. These high rises need to be scaled back to 3 or 4 stories. So maybe it will take a little longer to get your ROI, but overall a scaled back project will be a much more pleasant addition to the community. The village listened to it's residents regarding the Wendy's situation as well as Chicago Executive Airport. And many years ago I understand that the village wanted to build high rises by the water tower; evidently village listened to it's residents and there are lovely town homes in that area. It's time to really listen the the hundred's of residents that will be directly negatively impacted by this way over the top project. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

I don't feel that the residents' best interests are being considered. I haven't seen where a narrow, 2 lane street (Prospect, Maple, Lincoln, William, Emerson and others) can handle the volume of people and cars that will be the result with 6 and 7 story high rises, 56 row homes, retail, not to mention the parking lot traffic. Not only will traffic increase over the tracks, but what about all additional traffic on Prospect, Lincoln, William, Emerson, and additional residential streets not appropriate for that volume of traffic. That is why the buildings on Northwest Hwy, Central, Main are more appropriate- 4 lanes of traffic versus 2, which is why I feel that the larger hi rise type buildings belong on the north side of the tracks near the larger streets able to handle the additional traffic. I realize that this property needs developing, however, keep it with the character of the surrounding homes and apartments, row homes, townhouses, and 3 story apartment buildings. It really bothers me that the almighty dollar and a developer that seems to have been involved with a majority of past, present and future development takes precedent over the residents who will be adversely affected by those large unsightly hi rises that will stick out like a sore thumb. I strongly doubt if a trustee or any other decision maker lived a block or two from this proposed development they would be so gung ho for these enormous, unsightly 'out of character' buildings and the additional density and traffic it would bring to this area. This project still needs to be scaled down; please do not make a rush decision. Respectfully, Linda Phillips Mt Prospect, IL 60056 Scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service. To Mount Prospect Village Board members, I do not support this project because as proposed the Maple Street Lofts will: • increase density in a residential neighborhood located east of the core central business district of the Village: • increase traffic of all forms—pedestrian, vehicular and bicycle in the Lions Park Neighborhood and the surrounding area; • increase the commute times for Mount ,Prospect residents by building a parking garage to replace the Maple Street commuter parking lot; and • increase enrollment at already crowded District 57 schools specifically: Westbrook School for Young Learners, Lions Park Elementary School and Lincoln Middle School. The proposed project is moving ahead on the "fast-track" with the Village, which is not allowing Mount Prospect residents a fair opportunity to provide public comment and input on the development of this parcel. Furthermore, additional studies are needed to assess the overall impact a project of this size will have on the traffic in the neighborhood where the development will be located and the impact additional students will have on the already over -crowded schools, particularly Westbrook School for Young Learners and Lions Park Elementary. The Maple Street Lofts as proposed is too MUCH, too FAST! I, as a Village resident, respectfully request the Village Board to vote "No" on Maple Street Lofts.

I am writing to you to express that I absolutely say NO to this project. I have lived on the 700 block of William Street for 35 years and there was not much traffic on this street. Years ago, with construction on Golf, William Street got turned into a detour and everyone found out that William cut through to Prospect Ave. Now the traffic is terrible. During the summer it turns into a drag strip, they go right through the stop sign on Berkshire at 2 AM and scares the hell out of you! This project is going to REALLY increase this traffic and I do NOT want it. I use to let my kids play in front .... I will not let my grandkids play in front because of the crazy drivers down my street. It is just NOT safe. If you lived where I do, you would not want this in front of your home. Second ... do you have any idea how hard it is to get over the tracks during busy times with the trains? The traffic is crazy and the corner of Emerson and Prospect is a terrible intersection. Putting up a few row houses is one thing but not the size of this project. Not only am I concerned about safety and congestion with much increased traffic but I am also very concerned with overcrowding in our schools. They are already at their capacities.

As a resident of Emerson St, I am not in favor of having the construction of Lofts on Maple Street. Not only will it be an eyesore to the downtown area. But it will be a traffic catastrophe. Since living on Emerson St since 1985, I've witnessed the build up of traffic on Emerson as cars are backed up on 83(Elmhurst Rd). This is especially noticeable during the summer months If a loft is wanted, then build it on the empty lot where the Doretta's Pharmarcy once existed. There's a lot across the Fannie Mae Store that can be use for business too. I'm all for having the Metra Station move a block east of Emerson Street so that traffic on 83 can flow quicker. But having lofts on Maple Street as I will repeat, is an eyesore. OK, build a garage at the corner as was presented across from Busse Automotive. But keep the land south of the garage as part of Lion's Park. Fill the land with several trees and flowers, a playground, and have an open area where a Farmer's Market can be held. Where families can picnic, and Food Trucks ca sell there products, and where Mount Prospect Activities can be held without traffic closure to the downtown area. Where people can have access to parking and walk freely in the neighborhood. Redesign the area so that business can come, and people can use the facilities that already exist. The current building of a six story building on the Northwest corner of 83 and 14 is already an eyesore. Ask yourself this, "Would you want a six story building near you if you live in a family home?". It seems that the current interest is in money. Money can't buy you love. Always do would love ask and requires. In this case, it asks you to do what the citizens of Mount Prospect need in the downtown area. Do they need more buildings or do they need a place to gather as a family? I miss Little America Restaurant, White Hen Store, Prospect Theater, Skobe's Hot Dogs. These are some that I miss because things change. Hopefully, some of the places I enjoy now like Submarine Express, Le Peep's, Mrs P and Me, and Emerson Ale House don't become obsolete because of the current proposed design of the Downtown area. There is no guarantee that having a building with more people won't bring more cars and traffic problems. John E.

This is Mike and Sue Schumer responding to the Notice of Hearing letter. We live at 402 S. Emerson St. in Mt. Prospect and have 2 concerns about the current proposal for Maple Street Lofts. 1) We are concerned that school districts 57 and 214 will be able to continue to offer high-quality education to the students of the Village. Our sons received an excellent education here, which helped them at the University of Illinois and in their professional careers. We hope that our local schools' fine work will not be negatively impacted by the financial workings of the TIF district. 2) Emerson Street is plagued by heavy traffic. This also affects Prospect Avenue. It was a good first step to open the upper levels of the Village Parking deck to commuters. What else will be done to alleviate the current traffic congestion? We will probably see even more vehicles with the nearly 700 new residents that would populate Maple St. Lofts. What practical and achievable solutions will be enacted?

The market supports such development. Reducing the density at a site adjacent to a Metra station would lead to more negative than positive impacts First, GoTo 2040 places a high priority on infill and high density development at transit nodes, and in particular, near suburban Metra stations. If individual communities start to restrict such development, the result will be sprawl and the additional costs, both public and private, associated with auto oriented lower density development. Second, downtown needs more residential units to be commercially viable. The market is not there yet. Numerous effort by both the Village and developers to increase commercial development have met with very limited success. The solution is not subsidies but increasing income and the number of households in the downtown area. Third and most importantly, the Maple Street Lofts at the planned densities will decrease, NOT INCREASE, downtown traffic. If the development occurs at a lower density, it will force development out of downtown (where people can walk to the train station) to other locations (where they will drive into downtown to take the train). Reducing the density of the Maple Street Lofts will NOT reduce demand for housing in the area—just shift it away from the immediate proximity to the train station. This will increase traffic at rush hour when downtown Mount Prospect suffers it congestion problems --the short periods around train arrivals when traffic drops to LOS D and E levels. I strongly encourage you to consider the broader consequences of not allowing high density --in the 2.0 to 2.4 FAR range- -in the area within 500 yards of the Metra station.

We have lived in Mount Prospect for 19 years. We, like so many of our friends and neighbors, chose Mount Prospect over Arlington Heights for the open spaces. If you want a bunch of tall apartments and condos and traffic congestion you live in Arlington Heights. This proposed development will cram too many people into a tiny plot of land We have zoning laws for a reason. This location is NOT THE PLACE for this monstrosity. Right now it is impossible to cross the tracks at rush hour. We don't even want to think about how long it will take if this development goes forward. We are not against development in Mount Prospect. On the contrary, we would love to see more responsible development at the Central/83 intersection, and in the DOWNTOWN area. Please honor you commitment to this community. Don't let this fiasco be your legacy. Thank you, Curt & Karen Thompson 912 S.

I still believe it is too dense for the area and the changes made since it was first proposed at the Mrs. P & Me open house is still inadequate. I am still in favor of developing the parcel at some point but not with the proposal from Nicholas & Associates. It is too dense, lacks proper green space, and does not have adequate parking for both residents of the planned development as well as guests and Metra commuters. I had attended all of the open houses back in 2013 when Lakota was gathering community input regarding our downtown. While I understand our Village only accepted their proposal as an idea, I am surprised how much you are willing to deviate so greatly from current zoning, other well -thought-out recommendations, and community concerns. I have included the 2 plans that Lakota had proposed for the site in question. Both are MUCH more desirable in density, ease of parking for residents and guests of the development as well as Metra commuters. The amount of green space is also much more inviting than what is being proposed in the current design from Nicholas and Associates. While I am all for developing this area and creating some more density to help build our downtown, I am against the current plan that will be presented to Planning and Zoning next week. I wish the village would reject this plan if Nicholas is not willing to make some serious modifications. I understand that the Maple Street Loft plan does not go as far east as School Street but the Lakota plan does. What are the businesses that are still located on this site just east of the Maple Street plan? What would happen to that land if/when those businesses are relocated? More apartments?? I had hoped to include the members of the Planning and Zoning committee on this email but I cannot seem to find their email addresses anywhere on the Village website. If you could forward to them, I would appreciate it. I am unable to make the meeting next week since I will be out of town. This is my only way to express my disagreement with the Maple Street Loft Plan. Thank you.

Signature: Print Name: Y Address: IVN7C1 - wa&A2`� Date: I?-- 1 - -2-1�), To Mount Prospect Village Board members, I do not support this project because as proposed the Maple Street Lofts will: e increase density in a residential neighborhood located east of the core central business district of the Village: * increase traffic of all forms—pedestrian, vehicular and bicycle in the Lions Park Neighborhood and the surrounding area; • increase the commute times for Mount Prospect residents by building a parking garage to replace the Maple Street commuter parking lot; and • increase enrollment at already crowded District 57 schools specifically: Westbrook School for Young Learners, Lions Park Elementary School and Lincoln Middle School. The proposed project is moving ahead on the "fast-track" with the Village, which is not allowing Mount Prospect residents a fair opportunity to provide public comment and input on the development of this parcel. Furthermore, additional studies are needed to assess the overall impact a project of this size will have on the traffic in the neighborhood where the development will be located and the impact additional students will have on the already over -crowded schools, particularly Westbrook School for Young Learners and Lions Park Elementary. The Maple Street Lofts as proposed is too MUCH, too FAST! 1, as a Village resident, respectfully request the Village Board to vote "No" on Maple Street Lofts.

I would like to see a reduction of height of the seven story high building to be 6 stories like the other one. 2. The townhomes across the street from the Maple St. Lofts are 2 story buildings with grass front lawns and small patios. The Recency 2 story townhomes on Kensington have small patios with small yards, lots of trees and buildings far enough apart so that there is grassy areas in between townhomes. The boxwood apartments on Wheeling Road are the same with nice size front yards, small patios opening onto a common green area. This is the model that I would like to see followed because they fit the suburban feel of open land around the buildings, many trees and grass yet offer townhome living. I also appreciate the 2 story model rather than the 3 story model. 3. In summary, the townhomes are still too dense to provide a residential feel. Bringing some density to the downtown with apartment buildings and reduced density to the townhomes is a nice compromise. 4. 1 am assuming that the parking garage will house the cars from the apartments. If so I would like to see the same number of parking spaces offered currently on the flat surface parking plus apartment parking. I don't want to lose the total number of surface parking spots.
