Draft PZC Minutes: May 26, 2026 IV. PUBLIC HEARING A. 317 W. Northwest Highway 1. Special use to permit the operation of a massage therapy business. No action was taken on this item, as the petitioner did not meet the required public notice requirements. VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 1 of 10 Minutes June 9, 2026 B. 1244 N. Jack Pine Court 1. Special use permitting a rear setback of 17 feet, encroaching upon the minimum required rear yard setback of 40 feet in the R-2 zoning district. SU-000266-2026 – 1244 N Jack Pine Court – District #1 Notice was published in the Journal & Topics on May 21st, 2026 and mailed to the owners of the surrounding properties. Petitioner's Exhibits: 1. Special Use Application 2. Proof of Ownership 3. Plat of Survey 4. Site Plan 5. Floor Plan 6. Elevations 7. Public Notice Background: Mr. Auer provides background and states the Petitioner is requesting to construct a rear addition to the principal structure on the subject property. Requesting a Special use to permit a rear setback of 17 feet, instead of the minimum required rear yard setback of 40 feet in the R-2 zoning district, pursuant to the zoning ordinance. Sworn in petitioner: Petitioner: Jenna Froelich Collins and Michael Collins – 1244 Jack Pine Court (Owners) Ms. Collins states they are requesting approval for two small single-story additions at the rear of the home. She explains that the lot has a unique configuration and that the proposed additions would encroach onto the required 40-foot rear yard setback. She notes that the home, which was constructed in 1995, is already located within the current 40-foot setback area. The additions are intended to provide additional living space for their growing family and help make the home their long-term residence. Ms. Collins references the plat of survey and explains that the south-west portion of the rear yard contains the larger open area, while the north-west side consists primarily of a narrow walk-around area with irregular grading and large boulders. She reviews the proposed locations of the additions and their relationship to the rear setback line. She states that she has spoken with all surrounding neighbors, VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 2 of 10 Minutes June 9, 2026 including those most directly affected by the project, and all have expressed support for the proposal. Commissioner Bettenhausen asks how the existing deck would be affected by the addition. Ms. Collins states that the existing deck would be removed. Commissioner Bettenhausen asks whether the deck will be replaced. Ms. Collins states that there are no plans to replace it at this time. Chairperson Wood asks how the addition may affect the nearest neighboring property and whether it would obstruct views, noting the presence and potential removal of mature trees between the properties. Ms. Collins explains that the larger addition would be located behind the garage and adjacent to the rear corner of the neighboring home. She states that the project was discussed with the affected neighbors and that they expressed no concerns. She also notes that one tree would be removed as part of the project. The neighbor abutting the rear of the property was informed of the tree removal and required process and had no concerns. Commissioner Fedota asks which neighboring properties were notified. Ms. Collins states that the adjacent properties to the rear of the home were informed of the proposal. Commissioner Fedota asks whether there are any existing drainage, retention, or ponding issues on the property. Ms. Collins states that there are no significant drainage concerns. She notes that the walk-around area on one side of the home can become wet and that a sewer structure located beyond the property line directs water toward that area. However, she states that the area has never experienced flooding, standing water, or elevated water conditions. Commissioner Friedman notes that the existing floor plan already contains a breakfast nook, kitchen, and laundry room in the area of the proposed addition. He asks about the necessity of the request, observing that the proposal appears to enlarge and open up existing spaces rather than create new functions. Ms. Collins states that the primary purpose of the addition is to enlarge the kitchen area and provide a larger laundry room that would also function as a mudroom. Mr. Auer provides additional information and states that the petitioner is requesting two additions at the rear of the residence. He notes that the proposal does not create any concerns related to lot coverage, building height, or area and bulk requirements. To determine the petition's alignment with Special use standards, Staff evaluated the requested encroachment into the rear yard setback and reviewed surrounding properties for consistency. He states that several nearby properties have rear setbacks that are less than the currently required 40 feet within the R-2 District. The VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 3 of 10 Minutes June 9, 2026 former zoning ordinance — active at the time of development — contemplated portions of the principal building as a permitted obstruction in the rear yard. This provision allowed for the principal structure to encroach upon the minimum 40’ setback if a minimum setback of 25 feet was maintained. He further explains that the configuration of the lot limits expansion opportunities and creates a disproportionate amount of open space on one side of the property, making alternative addition locations less practical. Staff believes the proposal is compatible with the surrounding area and meets the standards for a Special Use. Commissioner Friedman asks whether staff reviewed the location of the existing zoning rear yard setback line relative to the current home and the proposed additions. He asks how much of the existing residence is already located within the required rear yard setback area. Mr. Auer states that when the home was originally constructed, the Zoning Ordinance permitted up to 10 percent of the principal structure to encroach into the required rear yard setback, provided that a minimum setback of 25 feet was maintained. Staff reviewed the original standards and determined that the existing home complied with those requirements at the time of construction. Commissioner Friedman comments that Staff is assuming compliance based on the fact that the home was legally constructed. Mr. Auer agrees. Staff Recommendation: The Petitioner is requesting to construct a rear addition to the principal structure and an encroachment upon the minimum required 40-foot setback for the R-2 zoning district. At the nearest point, the proposed addition would be located 17 feet from the rear lot line. Upon review of the surrounding properties, Staff confirmed many principal structures, which are set back from the rear lot line at a distance below the required 40 feet. The proposed addition does not conflict with any additional R-2 zoning district standards. Staff recognizes the encroachment upon the rear setback is a sizable difference from the 40-foot setback, but also notes that the existing residence has a legal nonconforming rear yard setback of 27 feet. Staff also considers the lot's shape and its direct relationship to the petition. Staff believes the lot design simultaneously creates a disproportionate area of open space on one side, and is less compatible for an addition to the principal building on the south side of the lot. Accounting for the aforementioned items, Staff recommends approval of the Special Use application, subject to the following conditions: 1. The Special Use shall substantially conform to the Floor Plan and Elevations submitted by the petitioner, except as such plans may be changed to conform to the Village’s Codes and Ordinances. There were no further questions. The public hearing was closed. VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 4 of 10 Minutes June 9, 2026 Commissioner Noonan Made a motion to approve subject staff’s conditions; seconded by Commissioner Friedman DISCUSSION: Commissioner Noonan states that the subject property is a unique lot and notes that the proposal is consistent with similar properties in the surrounding area. Commissioner Friedman states that he appreciates the geometry and topography of the lot and the limitations they create for expanding the home. He notes that the proposal does not create any concerns related to lot coverage or other bulk regulations and is focused specifically on the rear yard setback. He states that the addition is a reasonable solution that allows the family to expand the home while working within the property's constraints. Chairperson Wood states that the proposal represents a significant addition but notes that it is limited to a one-story structure and does not extend across the entire rear of the property. She finds the request to be reasonable, notes that no neighboring property owners have objected to the proposal, and agrees with Staff's conclusion that the request meets the standards for a Special Use. Commissioner Roth-Wurster states that the lot configuration is unique and that the proposed additions are appropriately tucked into the site. She believes the design is logical given the property's limitations and notes that the project will not negatively impact surrounding property values or cause harm to neighboring properties. Commissioner Fedota states that although the proposal reduces the rear yard setback below the current minimum requirement, the addition remains a one-story structure and will sit below the sight lines of neighboring homes due to the site's topography. He notes that the exterior materials will match the existing residence and that the overall bulk and scale of the addition are not objectionable. Chairman Wood summarized that this request has met the standards and was unanimously approved by a vote of 7-0. This item will be reviewed by the Village Manager and approved if applicable or to Village Council on July 13th, 2026. RESULT: APPROVED BY ROLL CALL MOVER: Noonan SECONDER: Friedman AYES: Jan Wood, Cindy Roth Wurster, Tim Schubert, Stephen Fedota, Eric Friedman, Patrick Noonan, Rodney Bettenhausen NAYES: None C. 630 N. North Court, Unit:140 VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 5 of 10 Minutes June 9, 2026 1. Special use to permit the operation of a massage therapy business. SU-000265-2026 – 630 N North Court, Unit 140 – District #6 Notice was published in the Journal & Topics on May 21st, 2026 and mailed to the owners of the surrounding properties. Petitioner's Exhibits: 1. Special Use Application 2. Proof of Ownership 3. Plat of Survey 4. Business Plan 5. Floor Plan 6. Public Notice Background: The Petitioner is requesting approval of a Special Use to operate a business that includes massage uses. Therefore, the petitioner is requesting a Special Use to permit a massage therapy business at the subject property. Sworn in petitioner: Yvette Sitkowski – 630 N North Court, Unit 140 - Owner Ms. Sitkowski states that she is proposing a specialty massage business offering private, one-on-one services by appointment only. She explains that there will be no walk-in customers and no front desk operations. She anticipates seeing only a few clients per day and operating approximately five days per week, generally between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., depending on demand. She states that her practice focuses on the health and well-being of clients through light, superficial massage techniques targeting the lymphatic system and reducing fibrosis. Commissioner Fedota asks whether the business will utilize ultrasound equipment. Ms. Sitkowski states that no ultrasound equipment will be used. Commissioner Fedota asks about her professional background and qualifications. Ms. Sitkowski states that she became certified several years ago and has pursued additional specialty certifications through continuing education courses and seminars. She describes her career as a lifelong learning journey and notes that she previously worked providing massage services in hotels and resorts. She has also completed additional training and educational programs related to her specialty. VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 6 of 10 Minutes June 9, 2026 Commissioner Bettenhausen asks whether she currently has an established client list. Ms. Sitkowski states that she does not currently have a client list and hopes to build one over time. Commissioner Bettenhausen asks whether she is certified through the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). Ms. Sitkowski states that she is certified. Mr. Auer provides additional information and states that the petitioner is seeking Special Use approval for the proposed massage business. He notes that the proposed use is compatible with the zoning district and that all required State certifications have been provided. He states that the business is compliant with parking requirements and operates by appointment-only. Staff does not anticipate any adverse impacts or conflicts with surrounding properties. Commissioner Friedman asks whether the proposed operation would be located within a single office suite connected to a common corridor with shared restroom facilities available. Mr. Auer states that he is not aware of those specific operational details. Staff Recommendation: The Petitioner is requesting to operate a business massage therapy use at the subject property. Following the evaluation of the submitted business plan, Staff does not foresee the proposed business conflicting with the Special Use standards. Also, the proposed business does not increase the required parking facilities beyond the excess parking that is currently provided by the Renaissance subdivision. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the proposed Special Use application, subject to the following conditions: 1. The Special Use shall substantially conform to the floor plan and business plan submitted by Yvette Sitkowski, dated 05/01/2026, except as such plans may be changed to conform to Village Codes and Ordinances. There were no further questions. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Fedota Made a motion to approve subject staff’s conditions; seconded by Commissioner Noonan DISCUSSION: Commissioner Fedota states that he has no concerns regarding the proposed use. He notes that the business is expected to generate minimal parking demand and appears capable of meeting all applicable operational requirements, including hand- washing and health-related standards. He believes the use is appropriate for the building. VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 7 of 10 Minutes June 9, 2026 Chairperson Wood states that the proposed business is compatible with the other uses located within the office park. She notes that the operation will occupy a small office space, is not expected to create parking issues, and represents a reasonable start-up business. She finds that the request meets the required standards for Special Use approval. Chairman Wood summarized that this request has met the standards and was unanimously approved by a vote of 7-0. This item will be reviewed by the Village Manager for approval or tentatively to Village Council on July 13th, 2026. RESULT: APPROVED BY ROLL CALL MOVER: Fedota SECONDER: Noonan AYES: Jan Wood, Cindy Roth Wurster, Tim Schubert, Stephen Fedota, Eric Friedman, Patrick Noonan, Rodney Bettenhausen NAYES: None V. PUBLIC COMMENT Public Comment: Joseph Douglas McArthur – 6006 Highland Drive, Rolling Meadows Mr. McArthur states he is in possession of a subdivision plat of survey prepared by Murray & Moody, a certified land surveyor. He references prior direction from Mr. Ottesen to submit the document to the Public Works Department. Chairperson Wood notes the document is on file with Public Works. Chairperson Wood states that the Planning and Zoning Commission hears matters related to special uses and zoning relief only, and is not the appropriate body for the issues being raised. She explains that the Commission’s authority is limited to land use and zoning matters. Mr. McArthur questions whether procedural rules were provided prior to his comments and reiterates that he previously submitted the plat in PDF format per instructions from Mr. Ottesen. He also states he submitted a FOIA request for the plat of survey and was informed that no records exist. He references Ordinance O-136-95, which he states annexed the Euclid right-of-way north of Lots 20 and 21, and asserts that his property (Lot 20) was impacted without due process or compensation due to an expansion of the right-of-way. He further states there is only a 10- foot utility easement and claims a 35-foot expansion has occurred. He contends jurisdiction is unclear between Palatine and Rolling Meadows and raises concerns regarding authority over drainage and the bike path area, stating it is unsafe and improperly authorized. He also suggests that the MWRD (Metropolitan Water Reclamation District) should be involved. VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 8 of 10 Minutes June 9, 2026 Chairperson Wood references prior discussion from a previous meeting and asks staff for any updates. Mr. Auer states he has been briefed on the matter and has no new updates, but staff will continue to work with Mr. McArthur on the issue. Chairperson Wood asks what the next step would be and suggests scheduling a meeting with staff to help resolve the matter. Mr. Auer states that a meeting with administrative staff, engineering staff, and public works would be the most appropriate next step, as they are best positioned to address the technical issues raised. Chairperson Wood reiterates that Mr. McArthur should meet with staff rather than continue bringing the matter to public comment, noting the issue is outside the Commission’s jurisdiction. Mr. McArthur declines a staff meeting and states he wishes to keep the matter on public record. He further states he received a ruling from the Public Access Counselor dated May 11, referencing a decision by Joshua Jones. He indicates he intends to escalate the matter to the Attorney General’s Office. He reiterates concerns regarding FOIA responses, ownership of easements, drainage authority, and jurisdictional responsibility. He again asserts that the bike path and easement use were not properly authorized and that there is no clear documentation of ownership or regulatory authority. Chairperson Wood states the matter is outside the scope of the Commission and reiterates that no further discussion is appropriate within this forum. Mr. McArthur thanks the commission for their time. VI. COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Auer states there was no Village Council Meeting on June 8th, 2026. The two most recent items have not been deliberated - 100 E Wood Street and 649 W Revere will be deliberated on 6/15/26. VII.

Northwest Highway STAFF REPORT: TO: Palatine Planning and Zoning Commission Jan Wood, Chair FROM: R. Auer PETITIONER: Melissa Ohnsted PLAN NUMBER: SU-000260-2026 BACKGROUND: The Petitioner is requesting approval of a Special Use to operate a business that includes massage uses. Therefore, the petitioner is requesting the following: 1. Special Use to permit a massage therapy business at the subject property. The required notification procedures were not fulfilled for the June 9th public hearing. Therefore, Staff is recommending that this application be continued to the June 23, 2026 Planning and Zoning Commission hearing. ATTACHMENTS: None Page 14 of 37 IV.B 1244 N. Jack Pine Court STAFF REPORT: TO: Palatine Planning and Zoning Commission Jan Wood, Chair FROM: R. Auer PETITIONER: Jenna Froehlich, Owner PLAN NUMBER: SU-000266-2026 BACKGROUND: The Petitioner is requesting to construct a rear addition to the principal structure on the subject property. Therefore, the Petitioner is requesting: 1. Special use to permit a rear setback of 17 feet, instead of the minimum required rear yard setback of 40 feet in the R-2 zoning district, pursuant to Section 10.06(c)(12) of the zoning ordinance. KEY ISSUES: • The Subject Property is zoned R-2, Single-Family District and is within the Cedar Grove of Palatine Subdivision. The property is approximately 11,386 square feet and consists of a single-family residence. • The Petitioner is proposing two additions to the principal structure, in the rear and side (behind the garage) areas of the residence. The expansion is, in total, 513 square feet in area. The additions are both one-story in height. • Presently, at its closest point, the principal structure is set back 27 feet from the rear lot line. The proposed expansion will encroach 10 feet further into the rear yard – resulting in an 17-foot rear yard setback. o The second addition will result in a 27-foot setback from the rear lot line. • The proposal does not conflict with additional height, building, and lot coverage Page 15 of 37 maximums set for the R-2 district. • The subject property is located on a cul-de-sac, and results in a unique lot design. o Portions of the lot extend far beyond the principal structure at a sharp angle to the southwest, creating a disproportionate space of unimproved area at the southwest corner of the lot. Additions in this area may result in a smaller setback encroachment, however, may be complicated by factors such as lot shape and design compatibility. Expanding the principal structure into these areas is unlikely as it would warrant an uncommon residential design and may be considered inconsistent with the surrounding area. Surrounding Properties • The majority of the surrounding area is zoned R-2, Single Family Zoning District. • Upon review of the surrounding area, Staff identified a number of properties within the nearby area that possess a non-compliant rear yard setback; below 40’ from the rear lot line. • The former zoning ordinance — active at the time of development — contemplated portions of the principal building as a permitted obstruction in the rear yard. This provision allowed for the principal structure to encroach upon the minimum 40’ setback. o The ordinance contemplated portions of the principal building in the required rear yard, located no closer than 25 feet from the rear lot line. o The zoning ordinance has since been amended and no longer includes this provision. • The following properties feature their principal building set back below the minimum required 40-foot rear setback for the R-2 district: o 1237 N. Jack Pine Ct – 20’ o 1673 Sherwood Ct – 27.2’ o 1229 N. Jack Pine Ct - 29' o 1240 N. Jack Pine Ct – 29’ o 1236 N. Jack Pine – 31.4’ STANDARDS FOR SPECIAL USE: Since this Petition is not for a use publicly operated or traditionally affected with the public interest, those standards under Section 14.05 D (2) and (3) are applicable. Specifically, the Petitioners must show that the Special Use, if granted, is so designed, located, and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety, and welfare will be protected and will not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in which it is located. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Page 16 of 37 The Petitioner is requesting to construct a rear addition to the principal structure and an encroachment upon the minimum required 40-foot setback for the R-2 zoning district. At the nearest point, the proposed addition would be located 17 feet from the rear lot line. Upon review of the surrounding properties, Staff confirmed many principal structures, which are set back from the rear lot line at a distance below the required 40 feet. The proposed addition does not conflict with any additional R-2 zoning district standards. Staff recognizes the encroachment upon the rear setback is a sizable difference from the 40-foot setback, but also notes that the existing residence has a legal non- conforming rear yard setback of 27 feet. Staff also considers the lot's shape and its direct relationship to the petition. Staff believes the lot design simultaneously creates a disproportionate area of open space on one side, and, is less compatible for an addition to the principal building on the south side of the lot. Accounting for the aforementioned items, Staff recommends approval of the Special Use application, subject to the following conditions: 1. The Special Use shall substantially conform to the Floor Plan and Elevations submitted by the petitioner, except as such plans may be changed to conform to the Village’s Codes and Ordinances.

Explain: No. The additions are small, single story rear additions that will match with the home's exterior and style and do not have any impact on overall neighborhood appeal nor value. Page 19 of 37 In order to supplement the above standards, the Planning and Zoning Commission may also consider the following: With respect to front yard fencing and fencing in a rear yard/side yard abutting a street, the following additional standards must be met: a. Will meet the following aesthetic criteria: i. Will not destroy existing vistas in the area; ii. Will enhance the appearance of the homes and the streets in the area; and iii. Will not detract from the overall appearance of the community; or b. The fencing is found to be necessary to protect private property or the safety of the inhabitants of the property.

FILE #: SU-000266-2026 VILLAGE OF PALATINE Jan Wood, Chair Palatine Planning and Zoning Commission DATED: This 22nd day of May 2026 RA Page 26 of 37 IV.C 630 N. North Court, Unit:140 STAFF REPORT: TO: Palatine Planning and Zoning Commission Jan Wood, Chair FROM: R. Auer PETITIONER: Yvette Sitkowski PLAN NUMBER: SU-000260-2026 BACKGROUND: The Petitioner is requesting approval of a Special Use to operate a business that includes massage uses. Therefore, the petitioner is requesting the following: 1. Special Use to permit a massage therapy business at the subject property. KEY ISSUES: • The Petitioner is seeking Special Use approval to permit a therapy business. • The Subject Property is located in the Renaissance Office subdivision and zoned P, Planned Unit Development. • Subject to Ordinance #0-8-77, uses on the subject property are limited to permitted and Special Uses in the B-1 and B-2 zoning districts. The zoning districts both contemplate massage uses as a Special Use. • The Petitioner has submitted documentation and has confirmed licensure in the state of Illinois. • The business will operate five days a week (unspecified), between 8am and 6pm. • The submitted business plan confirms that no walk-in appointments are permitted. Appointments are required to be scheduled in advance. • This tenant space is approximately 315 square feet in area. The business operation will not contain any equipment of significant scale. • The proposed use (required parking @ 1/300 SF) does not increase the required parking, beyond what is provided. Calculating for business and office uses, the parking spaces provided on the subject property exceeds minimum parking requirements. o 6,785/300 = 23 minimum required spaces Page 27 of 37 o 39 spaces provided STANDARDS FOR SPECIAL USE: Since this Petition is not for a use publicly operated or traditionally affected with the public interest, those standards under Section 14.05 D (2) and (3) are applicable. Specifically, the Petitioners must show that the Special Use, if granted, is so designed, located, and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety, and welfare will be protected and will not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in which it is located. The Petitioners have attempted to address the required standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Petitioner is requesting to operate a business massage therapy use at the subject property. Following the evaluation of the submitted business plan, Staff does not foresee the proposed business conflicting with the Special Use standards. Also, the proposed business does not increase the required parking facilities beyond the excess parking that is currently provided by the Renaissance subdivision. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the proposed Special Use application, subject to the following conditions: 1. The Special Use shall substantially conform to the floorpan and business plan submitted by Yvette Sitkowski, dated 05/01/2026, except as such plans may be changed to conform to Village Codes and Ordinances.

NORTH CT Unit:140 Please provide a description of your proposed request: The applicant is requesting approval of a Special Use to operate a small, appointment-only lymphatic practice. The business, The Lymph Current, is a solo practitioner office led by a licensed Certified Lymphedema Therapist and Massage Therapist specializing in manual lymph drainage catered toward post-surgical lymphatic drainage and patients needing fascia support. The proposed use is low-impact and office-based. Services are provided privately by appointment only, with no walk-in traffic, no group classes, no retail storefront activity, no amplified sound, no outdoor activity, and no exterior building changes proposed. The practice will typically serve one client at a time in a quiet treatment-room setting. The business is not intended to operate as a high-volume spa, salon, or walk-in massage establishment. Its focus is specialized lympathic care for patients seeking lymphatic drainage, post-surgical recovery support, and relief from swelling, heaviness, and fluid retention. The use is compatible with the surrounding commercial/office environment because it generates minimal traffic, minimal parking demand, no noise, no odors, and no adverse impact on neighboring tenants or properties. The applicant will comply with all applicable Village requirements, building occupancy requirements, licensing requirements, and any reasonable conditions of approval. The proposed use supports the health, safety, and general welfare of the community by providing a professional, appointment-based wellness service in an appropriate commercial/office location. Petitioner Justification Special Uses shall not be granted except on findings based upon the evidence in each specific case. Please address the following standards as these will be used in considering the specific relief you are seeking. That use deemed necessary for the public convenience at that location. Explain: The proposed use is necessary for the public convenience because it offers a specialized service that is not commonly available in a focused, professionally operated, appointment- only setting. Lympathic care is an area that is underserved. Patients benefit from having access to this type of service in a convenient local office location rather than needing to travel farther to access specialized care. The location is well suited for this use because the business will operate quietly, privately, and by appointment only. The use will not generate walk-in traffic, noise, outdoor activity, or intensive parking demand. Instead, it will function as a low-impact professional service office serving one client at a time. Page 30 of 37 The use is designed, located, and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety, welfare will be protected. Explain: The proposed use will protect the public health, safety, and welfare by operating as a professional, licensed, and carefully managed practice within an existing commercial office setting. The Lymph Current will provide private, one-on-one lymphatic services in a clean, controlled treatment environment. The applicant will maintain all required business licensing, professional licensing, liability insurance, sanitation protocols, and compliance with applicable Village, building, fire, and occupancy requirements.

The use is consistent with the type of quiet professional and personal-service activity commonly found in commercial office settings. No exterior alterations are proposed, and the practice will not change the appearance, character, or function of the property. The business will be conducted entirely indoors and will not create conditions that could negatively affect neighboring properties, such as excessive noise, odor, outdoor storage, heavy customer volume, or disruptive activity. The practice is limited in scale and will be maintained in a clean, orderly, and professional manner. Because the use is compatible with the surrounding commercial environment and does not introduce adverse physical or operational impacts, it is not expected to diminish nearby property values. In order to supplement the above standards, the Planning and Zoning Commission may also consider the following: With respect to front yard fencing and fencing in a rear yard/side yard abutting a street, the following additional standards must be met: a. Will meet the following aesthetic criteria: i. Will not destroy existing vistas in the area; ii. Will enhance the appearance of the homes and the streets in the area; and iii. Will not detract from the overall appearance of the community; or b. The fencing is found to be necessary to protect private property or the safety of the inhabitants of the property. Not applicable. The proposed Special Use does not include any new fencing or modification to existing fencing. No front yard fence, rear yard fence, side yard fence, or fence abutting a street is proposed as part of this application. Therefore, the additional fencing standards are not applicable to this request.
