IV. Public Hearing - New Business
a. ZBA-26-09 – 31 W. Saint Charles Rd-Special Use Petitioner: Cat Guardians
Rachel Leedom presented
• Special Use permit would allow the space to function as an animal shelter.
• This property is roughly 2,000 sq ft and would allow for space to house rescued cats, host
outreach events, and educational events.
• The building would be primarily used to house cats in care, but would also have space for
organization administration, a public space to welcome people coming in to look at
adoptable cats, storage, laundry, and an exam room.
• The goal is to make the public spaces flexible so that they can be converted to spaces that
can hold events and raise money for the organization.
• The business currently operates by appointment only and would retain that initially.
• They will also have regular events, once every month or two, which will allow drop-in access
if people want to see the cats without an appointment.
• Cat Guardians is run entirely by volunteers. There are two volunteer cat care shifts a day,
which consist of approximately 2-4 volunteers on each shift, who feed the cats, clean litter
boxes, sweep, etc.
• Minimal interior remodeling is planned and would be reviewed in the building permit
process.
• Nine Parking stalls will be on site. Two parking stalls are all that is needed.
Beth Gowski explained the mission of Cat Guardians.
Judy Pappendorf Vice President of Cat Guardians
Fire department submitted that they would either need to have 24-hour on-site staff or
Automated fire system that notifies responders.
Beth Gowski responded that the building already is wired for the fire system and they will
pay for the service.
Jason Jarrett wanted to know how pet waste will be handled.
Beth Gowski stated that they take it out after each shift to the dumpster.
V. Public Comments Non-Agenda Items
Ron Riley- spoke in favor of Cat Guardians
Joan Spania - spoke in favor of Cat Guardians

Christine Murphy-spoke in support of Cat Guardians
VI. Commissioner Comments
Jason Jarrett had a concern about the dumpster at the rear of the property and how it goes
into the Public Right-of Way.
Rachel Leedom stated that it could be taken care of by code enforcement but can be
looked at when they apply for a permit.
Page 3 of 128
Greg Ludwig addressed the trash from the former tenant. He said it has not been an issue.
He is more than happy to do whatever needs to be done to comply.
Brian Igawski spoke, he said the most cost-effective way to deal with this would be to paint
an area and staff could make sure the dumpster goes in that area.
Jason Jarrett would like the applicant and staff to work together for a solution before the
Village Board votes on it.
Motion was made to recommend approval of ZBA-26-09 for a Special Use to permit a
boarding or animal shelter use within the existing building was made by Commissioner

RE: Petition ZBA-26-07 | 450 S. Villa Ave. | Variation
PETITIONER OWNER
Lynette Ball Lynette Ball
405 S. Villa Ave. 405 S. Villa Ave.
Villa Park, IL, 60181 Villa Park, IL, 60181
Request Summary
The Petitioner is seeking a Variation from Section 9.2.2- Allowed Fence Heights and Locations to permit a solid
fence with a height of 6 feet in the front yard, where a 4-foot-tall open style fence would be permitted. The subject
property is located on a corner lot.
Background
The petitioner is seeking a variation to replace the existing 6-foot-tall wooden fence with a 6-foot-tall vinyl privacy
fence that is also 100% opaque. The variation request would permit a 6-foot-tall, solid fence in the front yard
where a 4-foot tall, open style fence would be permitted by right. This house is located on a corner lot. The house
faces Villa Ave., but the property line adjacent to Highland Ave. is considered the front yard because it is the
smallest street facing property line. The area that the petitioner wants to fence in functions as her rear/side yard.
This fence height does not conflict with any visibility requirements.
Site Information

Comprehensive Plan Designation - Residential
Single-dwelling residential areas are neighborhoods where each lot contains one dwelling unit, which can be a
standalone house or attached units like townhomes and duplexes. These areas should encompass carefully
planned subdivisions and older, established neighborhoods exhibiting classic neighborhood layouts. Single-
dwelling homes are the most common form of residential property in the Village and most likely will remain so.
Zoning Request
The Petitioner is seeking a Variation from Section 9.2.2 - Allowed Fence Heights and Locations to permit a solid
fence with a height of 6 feet in the front yard, where a 4-foot-tall open style fence would be permitted.

Internal Staff Review
Variation
The Zoning Ordinance specifically allows for Variation petitions to grant relief to a property owner from strict
compliance with the regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. Variations are intended to help alleviate a practical
difficulty or particular hardship that would be caused by the literal enforcement of the subject ordinance
requirements and are site specific.
The petitioner is looking to replace their existing 6-foot-tall wooden fence with a 6-foot-tall vinyl privacy fence. The
variation request would permit a 6-foot-tall, solid fence in the front yard where a 4-foot-tall, open style fence
would be permitted by right. This variation request came about when the applicant applied for a fence permit and
the need for a variation was noticed during the zoning review for permits. The subject property is a corner lot. The
single-family home faces Villa Ave., but the property line adjacent to Highland Ave. is considered the front lot line
as it is the smallest street facing property line. Upon visiting the site, staff observed that the area along Highland
Ave. where the fence would be located has many trees and plantings and does not function as a front yard. The
area that the petitioner wants to fence in functions as their rear and side yard. The proposed fence height does not
conflict with any visibility requirements as it is 44 feet from the intersection of Villa Ave. and Highland Ave. and is
approximately 50 feet from the driveway serving the adjoining property.

Site Plan Review
The following comments summarize aspects of the proposed development plans in relation to various Zoning
Ordinance requirements:
1. Building and Structure Location:
a. This home is located on a corner lot, facing Villa Ave. The frontage on Highland Ave is considered
the front because it is the smallest street facing frontage. The area that is considered the
petitioner’s front yard functions as her rear/side yard.
b. The fence is in compliance with all other bulk regulations.
2. Building Scale:
a. Section 9.2.2 permits a 4-foot-tall open style fence in the front yard. The petitioner is requesting a
6-foot-tall solid fence.
b. The petitioner has an existing 6-foot-tall solid fence.
3. Lot Coverage:
a. No new lot coverage would be added as a result of this project.
4. Completeness: If the Zoning Board of Appeals requires additional information to determine whether the
applicant’s development requests comply with the applicable standards of the Code, they may direct
the Petitioner to furnish additional information and evidence that may provide clarity regarding their
concerns.
Findings
Per Sec. 11.5.6.8, the Zoning Board of Appeals’ recommendation must be accompanied by specific findings of
fact regarding whether practical difficulties or particular hardships would result if a Variation is not granted. The
Petitioner has submitted the following justification for a Variation from Article 2, Section 2.3, Table 2-3 of the
Zoning Ordinance:
A. State the particular hardship and/or practical difficulty created for you in carrying out the strict
letter of the zoning regulations to wit:
Petitioner: We live on a corner lot and have a small/no backyard. This area is considered our back
yard.
B. A reasonable return or use of your property is not possible under the existing regulations because:
Petitioner: No privacy, live on corner. There is a bus stop with people in our front yard all the time.
Sound is loud with cars.
C. Your situation is unique (not applicable in other properties in the area or zoning classification) in
the following respect:
Petitioner: We already have a 6 foot fence, just want to replace what is there. Backyard is small and
the side yard is where we use it. The corner is not block frontage. There is a bus stop, so it is a busy
corner with no privacy.
D. The variation will not alter the essential character of the locality, impair an adequate supply of light
and air to adjacent property; not increase hazard from fire; not impair property values in the
neighborhood; not unduly increase congestion in the streets, or otherwise impair public safety;
health and convenience because:
Petitioner: No, it will not harm anyone.

Request Summary
The Petitioner is seeking a Variation from Section 6.10.2 - Residential Accessory Structures, Table 6-2 Accessory
Structure Regulations, to permit a pergola with a maximum size of 250 square feet where 200 square feet is
permitted by right.
Background
This case came about as the result of a Work Without a Permit Violation issued March 5, 2026. The petitioner
applied for a building permit on March 14, 2026. It was noted during permit review that the pergola exceeds the
maximum of 200 sq. ft. permitted. The petitioner would like to keep the full size of the pergola, because it currently
covers the entire rear of the residence, including two sliding doors. The pergola is 13 feet by 19 feet for a total area
of 247 square feet. The pergola is approximately 8.0 feet tall, which is in compliance with bulk regulations. The
pergola complies with setback requirements.

Variation
The Zoning Ordinance specifically allows for Variation petitions to grant relief to a property owner from strict
compliance with the regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. Variations are intended to help alleviate a practical
difficulty or particular hardship that would be caused by the literal enforcement of the subject ordinance
requirements and are site specific.
The petitioner is seeking to install a pergola across the rear of the residence on top of an existing patio. The
petitioner received a violation notice for work without a permit on March 5, 2026. The petitioner came to apply for a
permit a week later. The pergola is 13 feet by 19 feet for a total area of 247 square feet. The reason for this size is to
cover the entire rear of the house on top of an existing patio and provide a covered entrance and exit from two
sliding patio doors on the rear of the house. Section 6.10.2 - Residential Accessory structures permits a pergola
with a maximum area of 200 square feet. No variations to height or setbacks are needed as part of this application.
Site Plan Review
The following comments summarize aspects of the proposed development plans in relation to various Zoning
Ordinance requirements:
1. Building and Structure Location:
a. The pergola has a length of 19 feet and a depth of 13 feet. The pergola has a total area of 247 sq.
ft. and exceeds the maximum area permitted by 47 sq. ft.
b. The pergola is in compliance with all other bulk regulations.
2. Building scale:
a. Section 6.10.2 - Residential Accessory structures permits a pergola with a maximum area of 200
sq. ft. The petitioner is requesting a 247-square-foot pergola.
3. Lot Coverage:
a. No new lot coverage would be added as a result of this project. The pergola is placed on an
existing patio.
4. Completeness - If the Zoning Board of Appeals requires additional information to determine whether the
applicant’s development requests comply with the applicable standards of the Code, they may direct
the Petitioner to furnish additional information and evidence that may provide clarity regarding their
concerns.
Findings
Per Section 11.5.6.8, the Zoning Board of Appeals’ recommendation must be accompanied by specific findings of
fact regarding whether practical difficulties or particular hardships would result if a Variation is not granted. The
Petitioner has submitted the following justification for a Variation from Article 2, Section 2.3, Table 2-3 of the
Zoning Ordinance:
A. State the particular hardship and/or practical difficulty created for you in carrying out the strict
letter of the zoning regulations to wit:
Petitioner: The practical difficulty is created by the layout of the home, which includes two rear
sliding doors that require continuous covered access across the full width of the patio. A pergola
limited to 200 square feet would not adequately span both door openings, resulting in incomplete
coverage and limiting safe and functional use of the space. The requested size of 13 feet by 19 feet
represents the minimum necessary to provide consistent coverage across both entry points and
allow the structure to function as intended.
2
Page 13 of 128
B. A reasonable return or use of your property is not possible under the existing regulations because:
Petitioner: Under the current 200 square foot limitation, the pergola cannot reasonably fulfill its
intended purpose of providing continuous covered access across both rear sliding doors. A smaller
structure would only partially cover the patio, reducing usability and creating an impractical layout.
The requested variation allows for a functional outdoor space consistent with normal residential use,
including family use, shade, and safe entry and exit from the home.
C. Your situation is unique (not applicable in other properties in the area or zoning classification) in
the following respect:
Petitioner: The unique condition of this property is the configuration of the rear elevation of the
home, which includes two separate sliding door access points that require a wider structure to
provide adequate coverage. This condition is specific to the layout of the home and is not a general
condition applicable to all properties in the area. The pergola must span a greater width than a
standard single-entry layout, making the 200 square foot limitation insufficient in this case.
D. The variation will not alter the essential character of the locality, impair an adequate supply of light
and air to adjacent property; not increase hazard from fire; not impair property values in the
neighborhood; not unduly increase congestion in the streets, or otherwise impair public safety;
health and convenience because:
Petitioner: The requested variation will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood or
negatively impact surrounding properties. The pergola is an open-air structure with an adjustable
slatted roof and does not create enclosed space or increase density. It is approximately 7 feet in
height and is located with appropriate setbacks, including approximately 7 feet from one side
property line, over 20 feet from the opposite side, and more than 15 feet from the rear property line.
The structure does not obstruct views, light, or air to adjacent properties and does not create any
additional traffic, noise, or safety concerns. Similar outdoor structures, including decks, exist on
neighboring properties, and the pergola is consistent with the residential character of the area. The
design complements the home’s exterior and contributes positively to the overall appearance and
value of the property.
Notification
Legal Notice was published in the Daily Herald on May 28, 2026, a sign placed on the subject property, and

Request Summary
The Petitioner is seeking a Variation from Section 14.1.9 - Setbacks to permit a patio in the front yard. This double
frontage lot has two front yards and the patio would be placed behind the rear of the residence.
Background
The petitioners are seeking a variation to build a concrete patio in the space that functions as their rear yard.
Because the property abuts Terry Lane, the area that functions as their rear yard, is considered a front yard per
zoning code. If this patio were located in a rear yard on a typical lot, no variation would be required. This area is
surrounded by a privacy fence. A wooden deck was previously in this location but was removed due to disrepair.
The proposed patio is 16 feet by 26 feet for a total area of 416 square feet. The patio is setback 41 feet from the
secondary frontage, Terry Lane. The patio is setback 8.75 feet from the north property line and 25.3 feet from the
south property line.

Comprehensive Plan Designation - Residential
Single-dwelling residential areas are neighborhoods where each lot contains one dwelling unit, which can be a
standalone house or attached units like townhomes and duplexes. These areas should encompass carefully
planned subdivisions and older, established neighborhoods exhibiting classic neighborhood layouts. Single-
dwelling homes are the most common form of residential property in the Village and most likely will remain so.

Variation
The Zoning Ordinance specifically allows for Variation petitions to grant relief to a property owner from strict
compliance with the regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. Variations are intended to help alleviate a practical
difficulty or particular hardship that would be caused by the literal enforcement of the subject ordinance
requirements and are site specific.
The petitioners are seeking a variation to build a concrete patio in the space that functions as their rear yard. The
proposed patio is 16 feet by 26 feet for a total area of 416 square feet. The proposed patio is setback 41 feet from
the secondary frontage, Terry Lane. The proposed patio is setback 8.75 feet from the north property line and 25.3
feet from the south property line. If this patio were located in a rear yard on a typical lot, no variation would be
required. This area functions as the rear yard for the residence and is surrounded by a privacy fence. A wooden
deck used to be in this location, but was removed because it was in disrepair.
Site Plan Review
1. Building and Structure Location:
a. The proposed patio is 16 feet by 26 feet for a total area of 416 square feet.
b. Setbacks are in compliance with section 14.1.9- Setbacks
i. North setback: 8.75 feet
ii. East setback: 41 feet
iii. South setback: 25.3 feet
2. Building scale:
a. The proposed patio is 16 feet by 26 feet for a total area of 416 square feet.
b. Per Section 6.10.2- Residential Accessory Structures, there is no maximum size for a patio.
3. Lot Coverage:
a. The current lot coverage is 38%. After the patio installation, the lot coverage would be 43%.
b. Per section 2.3- Lot and Building Regulations, maximum lot coverage for RS-7.5 is 60%.
4. Completeness - If the Zoning Board of Appeals requires additional information to determine whether the
applicant’s development requests comply with the applicable standards of the Code, they may direct
the Petitioner to furnish additional information and evidence that may provide clarity regarding their
concerns.
Findings
Per Sec. 11.5.6.8. The Zoning Board of Appeals’ recommendation must be accompanied by specific findings of
fact regarding whether practical difficulties or particular hardships would result if a Variation is not granted. The
Petitioner has submitted the following justification for a Variation from Article 2, Section 2.3, Table 2-3 of the
Zoning Ordinance:
A. State the particular hardship and/or practical difficulty created for you in carrying out the strict
letter of the zoning regulations to wit:
Petitioner: Our lot is located on a pre-shaped parcel between Summit and Terry at the narrowing
end. There is no neighboring house behind ours (Terry) and thus it is considered we have 2 front
yards.
B. A reasonable return or use of your property is not possible under the existing regulations because:
Petitioner: A concrete patio is not allowed by zoning in front yard, which is our back yard and already
surrounded by privacy fencing.
3
Page 96 of 128
C. Your situation is unique (not applicable in other properties in the area or zoning classification) in
the following respect:
Petitioner: We’d like to use our yard for BBQ and entertaining that a concrete patio would allow.
D. The variation will not alter the essential character of the locality, impair an adequate supply of light
and air to adjacent property; not increase hazard from fire; not impair property values in the
neighborhood; not unduly increase congestion in the streets, or otherwise impair public safety;
health and convenience because:
Petitioner: It is ground level so no light or air disruption. Less fire hazard than the old wood deck.
Updates to the home will improve values, cause no traffic issues or safety issues. Neighboring home
already has a similar concrete patio without incident.
Notification
Legal Notice was published in the Daily Herald on May 28, 2026, a sign placed on the subject property, and
notifications sent to property owners within a 250.0-foot radius of the subject property in advance of the Public
Hearing.
Sample Motion
Should the Board approve Case ZBA 26-13, staff recommends the following motion and conditions:
Motion to approve Case ZBA 26-13, a request for variations from Section 14.1.9- Setbacks to permit a patio in
the front yard, subject to the following conditions:

Request Summary
The Petitioner is seeking a Special Use permit for a Planned Unit Development and other relief from the Village of
Villa Park Village Code as may be required for this project. The project is an addition to the existing building to
accommodate new restaurant space.
Background
The petitioner requests a Special Use permit for a Planned Unit Development to construct an addition to the
existing building at 5 W. Park Blvd. The petitioner intends to use the space for restaurant and bar use. The
project includes a commercial kitchen, restaurant space, lounge space, and a walk-up window for pedestrians
picking up food. The existing hair salon and residential space would remain. The site would include a trash
enclosure, three (3) on-site parking stalls, and 11 on-street parking stalls (including approximately eight (8)
newly constructed parking stalls).
Site Information

Comprehensive Plan Designation – Local Commercial
Local commercial areas are designed to provide small-scale retail and services catering to nearby residents’ day-
to-day needs. These areas typically include a grocery store or restaurant and other smaller retailers, such as gas
stations, dry cleaners, convenience stores, and banks. The Village should look to provide these daily necessities
and services close to home as an amenity for nearby residents and to reduces the need to drive.
Page 102 of 128
Zoning Request
The petitioner is requesting approval of a planned unit development (PUD) designated as a “special use”
administered under Section 11.3 Planned Unit Development. The project is an addition to an existing building to
accommodate new restaurant space. Several variations from the underlying zoning requirements are being sought
by the petitioner as part of the PUD.
Internal Staff Review
Planned Unit Development
The petitioner requests a special use permit for a Planned Unit Development to renovate the ground floor of the
existing building at 5 W. Park Blvd and construct a single-story addition in the current parking lot at the subject
property. The petitioner intends to use the renovated and expanded space for a restaurant and bar. The project
includes a commercial kitchen, restaurant space, lounge space, and a walk-up window for pedestrians picking
up food. The existing hair salon on the ground floor and two residential dwellings on the upper floor of the existing
building would remain. The petitioner also proposes improvements to the Village right-of-way to add additional
on-street parking. The proposal would maintain the existing 100% impervious cover on the site with no
landscaping proposed. Staff has concerns regarding landscaping and building materials that should be
addressed by the applicant.
Site Plan Review
The following comments summarize aspects of the proposed development plans in relation to various Zoning
Ordinance requirements:
1. Building Location and Scale:
The proposal includes a one-story addition of 2,595 square feet and remodeling of the first floor of the
existing building. The proposed building addition would be roughly 73 feet by 43 feet with a building height of
24 feet. A commercial business (a salon) located in the rear of the ground floor of the existing building at the
subject property, as well as two (2) residential units located on the upper floor, would remain.
Per Section 4.6.2, parapet walls may be a maximum of six feet (6 ft.) in height. The proposed single -story
addition features a 12.3 ft. Ground floor with a parapet wall measuring 11.7 ft. in height. A waiver of 5.7 ft.
is required to permit the proposed parapet wall height.
Proposed North Elevation – Parapet wall outlines in ORANGE
2. Building Materials:
The petitioner is proposing the use of engineered architectural panels as the primary facade material. Per
discussion with the architect, cast stone would also be used at the base of the building. The architectural
panels come in a wide variety of colors.
2
Page 103 of 128
Per section 4.7.1, 80% of each façade shall be constructed of primary materials. Permitted primary building
materials include high quality, durable, natural materials, such as stone, brick; wood lap siding; fiber
cement board lapped, shingled, or panel siding; glass. Other high quality synthetic materials may be
approved during the site plan process with an approved sample and examples of successful, high quality
local installations. While architectural panels are commonly used as accent materials, Staff has concerns
regarding the use such panels as a primary material.
Details regarding proposed building materials were received the week prior to the June 10, 2026 public
hearing. As the only significant outstanding item, Staff agreed to process the application and keep the case
on the June 10, 2026 agenda. Staff requested material samples and examples of where the proposed
engineered architectural panels have been used for smaller-scale projects within the Chicago region. The
project architect provided several examples and those have been included with the application materials .
Staff continue have concerns regarding the use of the architectural panels as a primary façade material
given that all but one of the examples shared appear to have been institutional buildings. The petitioner
should speak to the proposed primary materials choice and examples from elsewhere in the region.
Per section 4.7.1, main building colors shall utilize any historic palettes from any major paint manufacturer.
Other colors may be utilized for details and accents, not to exceed a total area larger than ten (10) percent of
the facade surface area. The petitioner did not provide an indication as to which colors are proposed and
Staff was unable to determine with compliance as a result. Staff recommends that compliance with
building color requirements be included as a condition of approval.
Proposed Primary Façade Material – Engineered Architectural Panels(Examples provided by Architect)
Proposed Accent Material – Cast Stone

Page 104 of 128
3. Façade Transparency
The proposed project is meets minimum façade transparency requirements along the Ardmore Avenue
(primary street) frontage, however additional transparency is required along Park Blvd. While the front of the
proposed restaurant and bar are highly transparent, the applicant has indicated that additional windows
along the back of the building are not desired due to the location of the kitchen and storage in this area. The
applicant should be prepared to speak to the need for less transparency due to the existing site constraints
and kitchen needs. Staff feels these requests are reasonable given the circumstances.
a. North: 70% transparency is required. The petitioner proposes 64% transparency on the North façade
(Ardmore Ave.). A waiver of 6% is requested.
b. East: 70% transparency is required. The petitioner proposes 80% transparency on the East façade
(Park Blvd.).
c. West: 15% transparency is required for the open space frontage. The petitioner proposes 0%
transparency on the West façade (abutting parking) due to kitchen restraints. A waiver of 15% is
requested.
d. Per section 4.5.5.B - Blank Wall Segments, no more than 30% of any story shall be without
transparency. The petitioner proposes 67% without transparency due to kitchen restraints. A waiver
of 37% is requested.
4. Lot Coverage
The site currently is 100% impervious surface. Although the requirement for Zoning District MX -2 is a
maximum of 75% impervious coverage, the petitioner requests to maintain the 100% cover. Staff has
identified areas for possible landscaping but applicant has declined. Staff feels while adding an additional
25% of landscaping to the site may not be reasonable given the site constraints, there are opportunities to
include some type of landscaping and 100% impervious surface is not necessary.
a. Per section 4.4.2- Storefront Building, the maximum impervious cover for the MX-2 District is 75%
b. The lot is currently 100% impervious surface and is proposed to remain at 100% lot coverage.
Petitioner request a waiver of 25%.
5. Site Circulation
The three (3) on-site parking stalls would be accessible from Park Blvd. All other parking and vehicular traffic
would remain on Ardmore Ave and Park Blvd.
a. With the new building addition and reconfiguration of the parking lot, the existing garage space
serving the existing salon business can no longer be served directly by a delivery vehicle. As a
condition of approval, Staff recommends that vehicles be prohibited from driving across the
designated pedestrian way along the north façade of the existing building and that deliveries to the
space must be made from the parking lot.

6. Parking
The proposed project includes a total of fourteen (14) parking stalls. Three (3) parking stalls are on the
subject property, including one ADA accessible parking stall. Eleven (11) parking stalls are provided on
Ardmore Ave. and Park Blvd. For the new restaurant, two residential apartments, and a commercial space,
twenty (20) parking stalls would be required.
a. The site proposes 14 parking stalls, 3 on-site parking stalls and 11 on-street parking stalls. Per
section 7.2 Minimum Parking Ratios, 20 stalls are required. The petitioner is requesting a waiver of
six parking stalls (a 30% reduction).
i. Residential: 2 one-bedroom apartments, 2 parking stalls required
ii. Commercial: 3 stalls per 1,000 square feet, 1 stall required
iii. Restaurant: 0.33 per seat, 17 stalls required
b. Section 7.4.1- On-Street Parking, allows for non-residential uses to count on-street parking towards
the number of required parking stalls at a rate of 1 stall per 20 feet of abutting right of way.
7. Landscaping
No landscaping is proposed as part of the Special Use application.
a. Staff has noted areas where landscaping or planters could be added, but petitioner has declined
these suggestions. Per Section 9.1.5.C, when a new development abuts non-residential properties, a
landscaped buffer is required. While staff believe the landscape buffer is not practicable given site
constraints and the scale and character of adjacent development. No landscaping is proposed as
part of the Special Use application.
b. Section 4.3.4 states that open space that is not used for sidewalk or patio space, shall contain
landscaping. Staff has suggested two areas where landscaping could be installed. Staff has also
suggested planter boxes be installed to include some type of vegetation. The petitioner has
declined these suggestions and should speak to their decision to omit landscaping.

8. Lighting
The petitioner is proposing recessed lighting at the entrances to the building. Per comments from the
petitioner, the lighting fixtures will include shielding to direct light away from adjacent right-of-way and
minimize glare. Parking lot lighting is not required because the proposed parking lot has fewer than six (6)
stalls. As there is no required site lighting, Staff waived the requirement for a photometric analysis.
Staff has concerns regarding the potential for low light levels in the parking lot in the evening when the
restaurant and bar will be active (compared to the salon at the subject property). In response to these
comments, the petitioner indicated a willingness to install lighting in the parking area and that has
been included as a condition of approval. The petitioner has agreed to provide a photometric plan as part
of the permitting process if requested by Staff.
Proposed Soffit Lighting
9. Signage
The petitioner proposes two new wall signs and one projecting sign as part of this project. Proposed signage
complies with Article 8 regulations. One existing wall sign for the commercial space shall remain. The
petitioner is proposing 180 square feet of signage within six (6) wall signs. Per Section 8.6.3 - Wall Signs, 180
square feet of wall signage is permitted. 180 square feet of signage is proposed.
10. Completeness
If the Zoning Board of Appeals requires additional information to determine whether the applicant’s
development requests comply with the applicable standards of the Zoning Ordinance, they may direct the
applicant to furnish additional information and evidence that may provide clarity regarding their concerns.
The case may also be continued if the board determines that it lacks complete information needed to make
an informed recommendation.
11. Findings
