Lockerby, Village Manager -~^ . -, ...-T FROM: ^ /,.-.""/- \- \b-{/vL>^"' ^ Liz Zimm'emi'an, Assistant to the Director of Public Works DATE: December 9, 2020 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM Approval of an Intergovernmental Agreement for Provision of Snow Removal Assistance to Respond to Snow Emergencies During the COVID-19 Pandemic In anticipation that COVID-19 may impact snow and ice removal operations, Lincolnwood reached out to several nearby municipalities to establish a mutual aid agreement for snow removal and ice removal assistance. The participating parties include Evanston, Glencoe, Kenilworth, Lincolnwood, Northbrook, Northfield, Skokie, and Wilmette. If a participating municipality experiences a manpower shortage due to COVID-19 during a snowfall greater than two inches, they may solicit snow removal assistance from another participating municipality. The requesting party will be responsible for reimbursing personnel and material costs. The providing party may elect to provide its own equipment. Under foreseeable circumstances Skokie would elect to provide equipment as drivers are familiar with their own trucks and salt calibration system. The agreement terminates May 1, 2021; however; it is renewable for subsequent snow seasons. Participating parties are not obligated to aid and may terminate the agreement with a 30-day notice. The IGA has been reviewed by Risk Management and Corporation Counsel. It is prudent to have a contingency plan in place in the event that COVID negatively affects our snow and ice operations. Providing Public Works is at or near full staffing at the time of a request, we are in a good position to reorganize staff to assist another municipality, especially on Wednesdays and weekends when we can leverage personnel from the Refuse Division. I therefore recommend that the Village execute the IGA for mutual aid for snow removal assistance. Please contact me if there are any questions. ec: Barb Mangler, Assistant Corporation Counsel Debra Prottsman, Risk Manager Max Slaiikard, Director of Public Works B C MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and Board of Trustees FROM: Paul Luke, Chairman Skokie Plan Commission DATE: December 21, 2020 SUBJECT: CASE 2020-02M – A REQUEST BY LAKHANI OIL COMPANY THROUGH THE MODIFIED REVIEW PROCEDURE TO MODIFY A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR THE MOBIL GAS STATION TO ALLOW VACUUM STATIONS The Community Development Department received a request from Lakhani Oil Company owner of the Mobil gas station at 5015 Touhy to amend special use permit ordinance 04-6-Z-3272 through the modified review procedure. The special use permit for the station, which includes a refueling station, car wash, convenience store, and limited-service restaurant was approved in 2004. The limited-service restaurant was never developed. The owner is requesting approval to modify the permit to allow for the installation of five (5) modern vacuums. Motor vehicle uses underwent an extensive overhaul in the Zoning chapter since 2004, including parking requirements and specific use conditions. The existing special use ordinance contains many conditions that were removed or modified during that chapter that Zoning chapter amendment. The petitioner asked to Staff to recalculate the parking requirement based on the current standards, which included getting a parking determination for the car wash. The Plan Commission made that determination on November 19, 2020. The proposed plan meets the new requirements for all the uses on the site and allows an increase of the number of vacuum stations from two (2) in the rear of the site to five (5) in the front of the site. The revised plan also moves the air pump from the drive aisle to a dedicated parking space as required by Village Code. Staff reviewed the conditions in the existing special use ordinance, removed completed and outdated items, and updated many conditions to be consistent with the current zoning requirements. The Corporation Counsel, Plan Commission Chairman, and Community Development Director reviewed the request. It was their opinion that the requested modifications to the special use permit are in substantial compliance with the intent of the original ordinance. It is respectfully recommended that the Petitioner’s request be approved, repealing special use permit approval ordinance 04-6-Z-3272 and replacing it with a new special use ordinance with the updated conditions below: 1. The petitioner shall develop the Subject Property in substantial conformance with the final Village approved site plan dated December 10, 2020 and landscape plan dated February 9, 2004. 2.

After the Commission heard the case, the petitioner contacted Staff and indicated that he did not want to move forward at this time. However, it was decided that the Commission would still bring the case to the Village Board. The broader application of allowing additional indoor crop farming would be suited for many local industrial buildings. Expanding the available zones for these uses is also consistent with one of the objectives of The Skokie Sustainability Plan, which is to support local/regional farming efforts to reduce the transportation distance for food. This recommendation looks comprehensively at indoor agricultural uses. It adds to the list that was initially specific to the creation of the B6 Downtown Science and Technology zoning district in 2007 and then added to the mixed-use districts when they were created in 2009. This modification would allow additional crops not categorized as food crops or floricultural by the federal government like agave, hay, herbs, grass seed, industrial hemp, hops, and spices and also expands the uses already on our list to the M1, M2, and M3 industrial districts. Medical and recreational use cannabis are not included, consistent with previously established precedent or otherwise regulated in the Zoning chapter. Discussion from the Commission included questions about industrial hemp, which although no longer central to this case, would now be included on the list. A more detailed discussion is summarized in the attached minutes. INTERESTED PARTIES Legal Notice was properly advertised as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. No interested parties provided testimony about this case.

STAFF ANALYSIS Tom Voitik is requesting an amendment to Appendix A of Chapter 118 Zoning of the Skokie Village Code to add all other miscellaneous crop farming to the use table to allow additional crops to be grown in the industrial zone and any other Zoning chapter modifications to accommodate this request. The only agricultural uses currently allowed in the Village are:  Floriculture production – special use in TX and CX, permitted in B6  Food crops grown under cover – special use in TX and CX, permitted in B6  Medical cannabis cultivation center – special use in M3 only Floriculture and indoor food crops uses were added as uses in the B6 Downtown Science and Technology zoning district with its creation in 2007; these uses were included for research purposes. When the mixed-use districts were created in 2009 these uses were added to the TX Transit Mixed-Use and CX Core Mixed-Use districts as potential roof-top uses. Growing outdoor crops was included with the definition of agricultural research and education for The Talking Farm in 2014; however, outdoor farming is not a separate use. Indoor growing medical cannabis was added in with the medical marijuana amendments, also in 2014. Growing adult recreational cannabis was not included with the recreational cannabis amendments in 2019. VOSDOCS-#582922-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2020- 16P__Zoning_chapter_amendment_for_miscellaneous_crop_farming 3 of 7 According to the federal government’s North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)all other miscellaneous crop farming includes non-food crops like agave, hay, herbs, grass seed, industrial hemp, hops, and spices. The petitioner’s intention is to grow industrial hemp for CBD production. Industrial hemp is regulated in Illinois by the Industrial Hemp Act [505 ILCS 89], which among other things, requires that all seeds, clones, transplants and propagules used to cultivate industrial hemp in Illinois shall be certified under the Association of Official Seed Certifying Agencies (AOSCA) standards and guidelines for industrial hemp or shall be accompanied by a certificate of analysis from an accredited certified laboratory from a state with a regulated industrial hemp program that certifies the industrial hemp grown will not contain in excess of 0.3% THC, the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis. A State licenses is also required. Staff is generally supportive of adding the broader category of indoor non-food crop production to the M1, M2, and M3 districts in Appendix A, excepting out medical and recreational use cannabis, which are otherwise regulated in the Zoning chapter and consistent with the previously established precedent. Staff would like to take this opportunity to further recommend adding the floriculture and food crops used to the M zones, too. The Village has many buildings that would be suited for such uses and expanding the available zones for these uses is consistent with one of the objectives of The Skokie Sustainability Plan, which is to support local/regional farming efforts to reduce the transportation distance for food. Parking for the proposed use would be the same as floriculture and food crops grown under cover. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the following sections of Chapter 118 Zoning of the Skokie Village Code be amended, with text to be added highlighted and text to be removed highlighted and stricken through in the attached draft ordinance. Sec. 118-218. Required number of off-street motor vehicle parking spaces. … (4) Office, retail, service, and industrial uses. Greenhouse, nursery, and floriculture: a. Floriculture production, and food crops grown under cover, and all other indoor crop farming: 1.5 parking spaces for each 1,000 ft 2 of gross floor area, except that if any portion of the facility or operations is for retail use then the requirement is 3.0 parking spaces for each 1,000 ft 2 of gross floor area for the whole facility. … VOSDOCS-#582922-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2020- 16P__Zoning_chapter_amendment_for_miscellaneous_crop_farming 4 of 7  APPENDIX A … retail streets R1 R2 R3 R4 R5 NX TX CX B1 B2 B3 B4 B6 H1 M1 M2 M3 OR AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY, FISHING, AND HUNTING Crop Production Greenhouse, nursery, and floriculture: Floriculture production S S P P P P Food crops grown under cover S S P P P P Medical cannabis cultivation S center All other indoor crop farming, P P P except cannabis not otherwise defined as industrial hemp by State law VOSDOCS-#582922-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2020-16P__Zoning_chapter_amendment_for_miscellaneous_crop_farming 5 of 7  DRAFT Plan Commission Meeting Minutes Date: November 19, 2020 A motion was made by Commissioner Burman and seconded by all to approve the minutes of the October 1, 2020 Plan Commission meeting.

Case Descriptions: 2020-16P – Zoning Chapter Amendment: Miscellaneous Crop Farming Tom Voitik is requesting an amendment to Appendix A of Chapter 118 Zoning of the Skokie Village Code to add all other miscellaneous crop farming to the use table to allow additional crops to be grown in the industrial zone and any other Zoning chapter modifications to accommodate this request. Discussion and Interested Parties Legal notice was advertised as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. Personal notice was not required for this case. Otherwise, Corporation Counsel determined that notice was proper and correct. The applicant was not present at this meeting. His intention was to grow industrial hemp for CBD production which is regulated by an industrial hemp program that certifies the industrial hemp grown will not contain in excess of 0.3% THC, the hallucinogenic constituent of cannabis. Staff is recommending to expand and broaden the category of indoor non-food crop production (hay, hemp, herbs and spices) to the industrial districts, including adding floriculture and food crops. Staff requested that the report be accepted into the record as presented. There were minor typos that were brought to the attention of the commissioners. 582342 Plan Commission meeting minutes for Case 2020-16P on 11-19-2020 The Village has many buildings that would be suited for such uses. This amendment will provide the necessary language for possible future indoor agricultural uses. The chairman asked about hemp licensure. Staff answered that a State license is required, and regulations are in place based on the federal bills for recreational and medical marijuana. A commissioner asked if this would be considered micro-farming that is allowed on rooftops. Staff answered that in our climate, agricultural farming must be done indoors. A new commissioner wanted clarification of the uses and different categories in the industrial zones. Staff explained that in the southeast & southwest areas of Skokie certain uses; mostly manufacturing, warehousing, and office uses are allowed. There were no comments or questions from the public. Recommendations and Voting The Plan Commission recommended that sections of Chapter 118 Zoning of the Skokie Village Code be amended as presented by Staff in the Staff Report. Motion: Burman Second: Mathee Absent: Mitchell Ayes: 8 Nays: 0 After the meeting, it was learned that the petitioner withdrew his request. Staff wishes to continue the process as a general amendment for final Village Board approval. 582342 Plan Commission meeting minutes for Case 2020-16P on 11-19-2020 2020-21 Community Development Block Grant Budget and Status Report December 21, 2020 Status Grant Awarded ($) Administration 20-1.0a VOS - Funding is being used to administer the Village’s CDBG Program, implement and monitor all Underway 100,000 Program projects, submit all required documentation to HUD, and coordinate all planning activities relative to Administration the Village’s community development efforts. 19-1.0b; 20-1.0b VOS - Funding is being used to continue the preparation of a regional Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH), Underway 10,000 Planning to be submitted to HUD in 2021.
