MEMORANDUM
TO: Andy Lukasik, Village Manager
FROM: Bill Spikowski
DATE: January 8, 2o19
SUBJECT: Code Revisions - Joint Workshop on January 15 at 6:30 PM
Backup material is attached for the January 15th joint workshop of the Village Council and the
Planning Commission. During this workshop we will cover chapters 1-13 and 29 of the code
revisions, highlighting the following subjects:
1. Authority of Planning Commission under a new "site plan and appearance review"
process (replacing "certificate of appropriateness")
2. Planning Commission may grant certain waivers and special exceptions
3. Planning Commission to begin serving as the zoning board of adjustments
4. Revisions to the Village's "Appearance Plan" as to architectural styles
5. New methods to specify which uses are permitted in certain zoning districts
6. Renaming all commercial zoning districts (to become more self-explanatory)
7. Changes to the current code's "similar use" procedures
8. Revised landscaping code (incorporating Northlake Blvd. landscaping code)
Attached to this memo is a draft of slides we will use to focus on each of these issues.
Also attached is actual text of the code revisions for these chapters, with new language underlined
and deleted language struck -51.. Yellow highlighting is used to call attention to the most
important changes. Note that chapters i and 8 have been revised slightly since the November 1st draft
of these revisions (which we had circulated previously).
I'm also attaching our preliminary schedule of additional workshops on these code revisions.
