1 ORDINANCE SUB-COMMITTEE EDWARDSVILLE PLAN COMMISSION October 20, 2014 6:00 PM PRESENT ABSENT G. Coffey, Chair J. Mullane M. Rabe, Vice Chair P. Pitts M. Brandmeyer B. Schlueter, PC Chairman M. Pierceall W. Williams, Staff S. Hanson, Staff C. Porter, Staff L. Schneck, Staff A meeting of the Plan Commission's Ordinance Sub-Committee was held on Monday, October 20, 2014, and the following proposed ordinance was discussed (continuation from September 25, 2014): 1. An Ordinance amending the provisions of Chapter 1243 of the Codified Ordinances relating to Planned Unit Developments (PUD) Hanson presented the second part of a two part ordinance to review to the committee. Hanson explained the PUD Development Plan process which would be approved by City Council as previously discussed at the last meeting. Once that is done, the developer will move to the Site Plan Process. Most of the soft costs are included in the Site Plan Process. The plan that is approved by City Council will include a conceptual site plan. The actual Site Plan Process will allow for a 10% deviation from the plan approved by Council to give some flexibility. Currently, the City does not have a site plan review process. The only time there would be some type of review is if the property is located within a historic district. With this proposal, the developer can get preliminary approval to move forward without the out of pocket cost imposed with design objectives. The committee recommended the following changes. 1. Section 2.4.3 Site Plan Review Subsection (1) Purpose and Scope – “review” should be capitalized. 2. Make sure the permits pointed out in this section are consistent throughout the entire ordinance and do not need to be capitalized. 3. Subsection (1) “land use plan” should be replaced with “Comprehensive Plan”. 4. “Shall” should be replaced with “is” or “will” where needed. 5. Subsection (2) (a) – “review” should be capitalized. “Shall be” should be replaced with “is”. Remove “residential and nonresidential”. “Building Permit” should be lower case. Reference subsection (5) for the process of the Site Plan Review. 6. Subsection (2) (b) – Remove “in 2.4.3(3)” and “shall be reviewed and approve” should be replaced with “are subject to review and approval”. 7. Site Plan needs to be defined somewhere in this section with the details required for submittal including elevations and landscape plans. 8. Subsection (3) Exemptions in the first paragraph remove “City requirements” and replace with “provisions of the City codes”.  2 9. Subsection (3) the first sentence should be reworked. The board felt the wording was a little awkward. 10. Subsection (3) (a) remove “Individual”. 11. Subsection (3) (b) “Plans” does not need to be capitalized. Remove “to” and adding “ing” to “exceed”. Remove “per the provisions of” and replace it with “under”. 12. Review the difference from Subsection (3) and Subsection (8). Possibly combining these 2 subsections. 13. Combine Subsections (3) (b) and (c) by adding “or” after “building” in the first line. Both items have “not requiring submittal of a Stormwater Plan under the Land Development Code”. 14. Subsection (3) (d) “The” does not need capitalized. Remove “gross floor area, increase the intensity of use, or affect” and replace with “the”. Also striking “on a site that meets all development and site design standards of this ordinance”. Adding “and” and the end. 15. Subsection (3) (e) should read “temporary construction trailers.” 16. Subsection (4) - The word “review” in the first sentence should be capitalized. 17. Rename Subsection (5) to “General Procedure for Site Plan Review Process”. 18. Subsection (5) should read “The review procedure for a Site Plan Review is as follows:” 19. Captions should be after each step in Subsection (5). 20. Subsection (5) (a) caption should be “Site Plan Review Conference.” Remove the second sentence. This should include reference to an “Administration Manual”. 21. Remove Step 2 22. Subsection (5) (c) Insert “with the PUD Review Committee” in the first line after “meeting”. 23. Subsection (5) (c) The third sentence should be replaced with the following: “The Department of Public Works – DPZ shall provide to the applicant all review comments and recommendations.” 24. Subsection (5) (c) The 5th sentence “Upon submittal..” should be replaced with the following sentence: “Upon resubmission, the revisions will be scheduled for the next available meeting per the Administration Manual.” 25. Subsection (5) (c) – The last sentence should read “The DPZ shall prepare a report with rational as to how it relates to the development plan and recommend approval, approval with conditions, or disapproval of the Site Plan to the Plan Commission. Staff and Plan Commission’s review is based on the PUD Development Plan ” 26. Subsection (5) (d) – This subsection should read “The Plan Commission, at their next regularly scheduled meeting, shall make a decision to approve, approved with conditions, or disapprove the Site Plan application in accordance with this ordinance, state law, and the Plan Commission Bylaws. 27. Subsection (5) (e) needs to be looked into further to decide when this should be required – either before occupancy permit or building permit. 28. Land Use review should be built into the Administrative Manual. 29. Subsection (6) (b) Remove “is in compliance” and replace with “complies”. Also add “uses” after “base district”. 30. Subsection (7) (a) Need to coordinate the timeline to reflect either 1 year from PUD approval or 1 year from the Site Plan approval. The PUD could expire prior to the Site Plan approval. Should the PUD remain on the land instead of revoking the PUD and allow the developer to keep the zoning? If it would revert back to original zoning, that would be considered spot zoning if part of the PUD was developed. 31. Subsection (7) (b) “Planning” should be “Plan”. 32. Subsection (7) (c) Coordinate with Step 5 to read either Building Permit or Occupancy Permit. Hanson to review this section because it is not consistent with Step 5.  3 33.

Subsection (8) (b) i - should add “or decreased;” 36. Subsection (8) (b) ii – remove “nonresidential”. 37. Subsection (8) (b) iii & iv – remove “to be deleted” and replace with “any substantive change”.
