ADJOURNMENT Page 1 of 23 Committee Item Memo Meeting Date: October 10, 2022 Staff Contact: Kate Portillo, Village Planner Department: Community Development Subject: Discussion of Case No. 22-07 Variances from §62-290 Required Parking Spaces and §62-266 Parking Space Sizes Related to 3745 Grand Blvd. Background Information: On August 5, 2022, Mr. Andy Kwak made an application to the Planning and Zoning Commission for variances related to the on-site residential parking requirements for the existing mixed-use building under renovation at 3745 Grand Boulevard. The property is located in the SA-1 zoning district. In 2021, the Village Code was amended to eliminate on-site commercial parking requirements for the SA-1 and SA-4a zoning districts and so there are no parking regulations related to the three (3) ground floor commercial uses (end-users presently unknown). The six (6) second floor residential units require 1.25 parking spaces per unit. Subject Site: Page 2 of 23 The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on September 22, 2022, to consider the petitioner requests for relief from the Village Code requirements as follows: • A variance from §62-290 Required number of parking spaces from eight (8) to six (6), with credit for one motor vehicle space by providing six long-term bicycle spaces within the building. • A variance from §62-266 Parking space sizes from the required parallel stall length of 24 feet to 16.17 feet for two (2) spaces (labeled #1 and #2 on exhibit), from the required 45 degree stall length of 17.5 feet to 16 feet for two (2) spaces (labeled #3 and #4 on exhibit), and from the required parallel stall length of 24 feet to 16 feet for one (1) parking space (labeled #5 on exhibit). The proposed parking stalls meet the size requirements of the 2018 Illinois Accessibility Code of 8 feet in width by 16 feet in depth. During the public hearing, Village Planner Kate Portillo gave the staff report and noted that the project is a renovation of an existing structure that represents no change in use and therefore there is not a requirement for an accessible space to be included in the provided off-street parking. Overnight parking in the immediate area is available on portions of Grant Avenue between Grand Boulevard and Forest Avenue, portions of Prairie Avenue between Grant Avenue and Brookfield Avenue, and on both sides of Forest Avenue between Brookfield Avenue and Grant Avenue. Commissioners raised questions related to the parking space size, parcel lines, and striping of parking. Members of the public raised questions related to alley clearance, alley conditions, site drainage, and potential encroachments on the loading areas and rear access of adjoining properties. Both the petitioner and Village Planner responded to questions and clarified that all parking will be within the parcel boundaries and not encroach on either the alley or other parcels. Commissioners explained that questions related to alley conditions and drainage are outside of the purview of the Commission. Findings of Fact: The Commission deliberations contemplated the standards of review for the petition request: Variance Standards 1. The hardship alleged is found to be derived from the conditions of the existing property which prevent full use to the same extent other properties in close proximity can be used as the rear parcel line is not a straight line but instead zig-zags and is located at a turn in the alley. 2. The hardship alleged is not self-created or self-imposed by the applicant or any acts of the prior owner as the primary structure is existing and there is a finite amount of space in which legal parking spaces may be located. 3. No other reasonable means exist other than the requested variations by which the alleged hardship or difficulty can be avoided or remedied to a degree sufficient to permit a reasonable use of the property. 4. The variations sought related to the existing site and proposed site improvements will not impair the adequate supply of light or air to the adjacent property. Page 3 of 23 5. The variations sought will not unreasonably diminish the values of the adjacent property in that the property is being renovated with the intention of future full occupancy thereby potentially increasing the values of the adjacent property. 6. The variations sought will not unreasonably increase congestion in the public streets or otherwise endanger public safety. 7. The variations are in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Village ordinances. Recommendations: By unanimous vote of 4 ayes, 0 nays and 0 abstaining, the Planning and Zoning Commission moved to recommend the following, with the stipulation that the three exterior parking spaces will be properly striped according to the Village Code: • To allow a variance in required residential parking from eight (8) spaces to six (6) spaces. • To allow a variance in the length of each parking space as follows: two parking spaces reduced from the required stall length of 24' to 16.17', two parking spaces reduced from the required stall length of 17.5' to 16', and one parking space reduced from the required stall length of 24' to 16'. Financial Impact: n/a Recommendation(s): Village staff recommends the Village of Brookfield Committee of the Whole discuss the petition request and attached recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission and direct the Village Attorney to prepare an Ordinance for vote at the next Village Board meeting.

The PZC held a public hearing on the matter on August 25, 2022 and continued to discuss it on September 22, 2022. The intent of these Text Amendments is to provide a consistent and predictable process for those applying for a Temporary Use and Event Permit, a uniform review of all departments of each application, and a simplification of the Village Code. Examples of the type of events which would require this permit are the Old Fashioned Streetdance, school district fun runs in the right-of-way, carnivals, etc. The PZC took public testimony and recommended changes to the proposed Text Amendments. Changes from the initial recommendation provided by staff include: removing and relaxing the timeframe restrictions, including a hold harmless agreement, including exemptions for government entities, private parties, and more, and a reduced application fee. After the changes were made the Commission voted 4-0 (unanimously) to recommend approval of the text amendments to the Committee of the Whole. Attachments to this memo include: • Draft application • Draft hold harmless agreement • Complete clean copy of text amendments • Redlined text amendments Financial Impact: N/A Recommendation(s): Page 6 of 23 Staff recommend discussing the proposed text amendments and directing the Village Attorney to prepare an ordinance adopting the changes.
