PLAm CommisS'ON RECOMMENDATION REPORT
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCE UPDATE WORKSHOP
»°.P&
This report concludes the Plan Commission Workshop to review the updating of the Comprehensive
Plan and Zoning Ordinance Update as suggested by the Lohan Study.
It is the Plan Commission's recommendation that the Village proceed with the necessary steps for
revision of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance and other Village Codes as necessary to
implement the proposals contained in the Lohan Study.
This report consists of two elements. The first is the Plan Commission position and comments with
respect to the major elements and the second is an annotated copy of the "Concepts- Responses-
Outcomes" matrix with the Plan Commission's position on the balance of the proposal (shaded text).
MAJOR ELEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
FLOOR AREA RATIOS (FAR) AND OTHER BULK REGULATIONS
Recommend increasing, the FAR's in the ORA -1 Districts per the schedule in the study. In
order to deal with the eventual traffic increases due to these increased FAR's, the proposed
roadway infrastructure improvements connecting Commerce Drive to Swift Drive, connecting
Jorie Blvd. to Spring Road, and other lesser projects will be necessary. In addition, ongoing
cooperation with the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (ISTHA), the Illinois Department of
Transportation (IDOT), and the DuPage County Department of Transportation (DPCDOT) to
insure the best possible highway access is necessary.
In the event that the roadway infrastructure improvements are not likely to be built, it will be
necessary to reevaluate the FAR increases from the point of view of traffic impacts. The
FAR increases should be reduced accordingly. It will be important to keep in mind that the
Village's commercial properties are in competition with other commercial property in the
region, especially the 1 -88 corridor, and that the Village's traffic will increase even if the
Lohan proposals are not implemented.
