The City of Edwardsville I-55 Corridor Zoning District represents the city's commitment to residents' quality of life, sustainability, and smart growth by adhering to the following principles:

A.

Citizen and community connection: Balance the needs of residents, developers, civic leaders and landowners by ensuring all participate in ongoing planning and development of the district. Maintain the quality and character of development in the I-55 District as first envisioned with Glen Carbon and Madison County.

B.

Economic development: Generate a sustainable and resilient economy for the I-55 District (in support of the entire city) through regulations that achieve desired outcomes in a creative and flexible manner.

C.

Development form: Promote compact, pedestrian-friendly and mixed-use neighborhoods, with many activities of daily life available within walking distance. The intensity of development should support transit in commercial areas and residential areas located near main roads.

D.

Urban design: Reinforce community design that results in interesting, human-scaled places. Development should connect people with places and each other.

E.

Architectural character: Design new developments that respond to the local traditions of residential and commercial architecture, so they result in unique places that maintain Edwardsville's character.

F.

Environmental design: Build mixed-use developments that are compact, accessible to other areas, and support walkability. Incorporate stormwater management systems that apply natural best management practices (BMPs) to increase permeability and reduce the need for impermeable stormwater management infrastructure.

(Ord. No. 6753-08-2022, § 2B(Exh. A), 8-16-2022)

The I-55 Corridor Zoning District shall apply to areas as indicated on the City of Edwardsville Zoning map.

(Ord. No. 6753-08-2022, § 2B(Exh. A), 8-16-2022)

In order to meet the intent of the City of Edwardsville Comprehensive Plan and address the various development considerations of the District, the I-55 Corridor Zoning District is further designated into five subdistricts as described below and shown in Figure 1 below.

Figure 1:I-55 Zoning Subdistricts

A.

Goshen Center: The Goshen Center subdistrict is the focal point of the I-55 Corridor area and has a primary commercial and office focus. The area is highly pedestrian in character with visitors and residents getting to and around the subdistrict easily on foot or bike. Connections to existing and planned trails to support this easy access are an important element of the area. If driving to the district, the goal is to park a vehicle once for multiple stops in the district. The subdistrict provides dining, retail, personal service, and workplace opportunities for residents and includes small retail, walkable streets, office, medical, etc. Mixed use development that includes residential living is encouraged in the area.

To create a consistent character and scale in Goshen Center, all new development will be considered by the city as a planned unit development and required to be a minimum of 15 acres in size. Further, to support a compact and successful mixed-use development the City will consider new developments adjacent to existing developments to be more appropriate and in keep with development standards. Similarly, the success of this subdistrict depends on compact development to support the scale and type of desired uses, as well as the walkable urban form. Therefore, the city expects that after sufficient area has been developed to establish a strong sense of place and reflect market demand, the balance of undeveloped area could be rezoned to Goshen Mixed Use.

B.

Goshen mixed use: A mixed-use area that is primarily pedestrian, but accommodates vehicular use. It has a denser, urban character and is a unique, attractive, and memorable destination for visitors and residents. The subdistrict has an interconnected network that provides convenient routes for pedestrians and bicyclists, connecting to passive and active open space and recreation trails. The development pattern encourages vertical mixed use buildings that include retail, office, and residential uses in the same structure. Other uses appropriate for the subdistrict include civic functions, senior housing, cultural/religious facilities, and entertainment activities.

C.

Goshen commercial: The Goshen commercial subdistrict is a predominantly office and employment area, and may include commercial and civic functions; the area services Edwardsville and the surrounding region. The district will have an interconnected roadway network that disperses traffic and provides convenient routes for pedestrians and bicyclists as well as being well connected to passive and active open space and recreation trails.

D.

Pin Oak commercial: The subdistrict takes its character from being most closely located to the I-55/State Rt. 143 Interchange. Development in the area reflects the types of office, commercial, medical, and unique uses that locate close to interchanges to draw on their regional access and high visibility. As this area is a gateway to Edwardsville, it is to be characterized by development in keeping with the city's design guidelines, consideration of I-55 District development standards, and evaluated through city review processes.

E.

Residential: This subdistrict is characterized by a variety of residential uses and housing types developed as neighborhoods. Townhome neighborhoods are appropriate within this district. The neighborhoods are easily traveled by car, bicycle or walking to adjacent neighborhoods, recreation areas, community uses, and commercial areas. The area may include community and cultural uses and is connected to local and regional passive and active open space and recreation trails.

(Ord. No. 6753-08-2022, § 2B(Exh. A), 8-16-2022)

In addition to off-street parking and loading requirements in section 1250.13 of the City Code, the following parking regulations shall apply in all I-55 subdistricts except residential:

A.

Cross-access between adjacent lots. Where parking lots for separate uses are adjacent to one another and the opportunity for connected cross-access exists, such access is in encouraged. Cross-access should be done in a logical manner that results in safe and efficient circulation between adjacent parking areas.

B.

Shared parking.

1)

Description. Shared parking is an arrangement whereby two or more owners of nonresidential properties or uses with different peak-hour parking demands use the same off-street parking spaces to satisfy their off-street parking requirements.

2)

General. The zoning administrator may approve shared parking areas, subject to the following standards:

a)

Eligible uses. Shared parking is allowed among land uses that can evidence differing operations, peak parking demand times, or specific circumstances that facilitate successful shared parking.

b)

Ineligible uses. Accessible parking spaces (for persons with disabilities) may not be shared and must be located on-site.

c)

Location. Shared parking spaces shall be located within 750 feet of the primary entrance of all uses served, unless shuttle bus service is provided to the parking lot.

d)

Shared parking. Applicants wishing to use shared parking as a means of satisfying parking requirements shall submit an analysis to the zoning administrator that clearly demonstrates the feasibility of shared parking. It shall address, at minimum, the size and type of the proposed development, the composition of tenants, the anticipated rate of parking turnover and the anticipated peak parking and traffic loads for all uses that will be sharing parking spaces. Applications for shared parking shall be submitted by or authorized by the property owner.

e)

Agreement. Applicants must provide a shared parking agreement in a form approved by the city attorney and executed by the parties establishing the shared parking spaces and the City of Edwardsville. Shared parking privileges will continue in effect only as long as the agreement, binding on all parties, remains in force. Should the agreement cease to be in force, or should the intensity of a business that is party to the agreement increase, parking must be provided as otherwise required within this article. Shared parking agreements shall be recorded with Madison County Recorder's Office for all properties involved in the agreement.

f)

Shared parking within shopping centers. Cumulative parking requirements for mixed-use occupancies may be reduced where it can be determined that the peak requirement of the several occupancies occurs at different times during the day. For a shared parking arrangement, the zoning administrator may make an administrative adjustment that reduces the off-street parking requirements for each participating commercial property. To approve such an administrative adjustment, the zoning administrator shall find:

i)

The collective parking area is located within 750 feet walking distance of each of the uses, as measured from the entrance of each use to the nearest parking space in the collective parking area.

ii)

Convenient, safe, accessible and visible pedestrian connections are located between the facilities and all of the shared properties.

iii)

A shared parking study shows that the commercial properties do not have the same hours of operation.

iv)

Applicant provide a shared parking agreement in a form approved by the city attorney or lease rider between the parties sharing parking spaces.

C.

Bicycle parking.

1)

All nonresidential developments which provide automobile parking facilities shall provide bicycle parking facilities (bike racks) at a ratio of at least one bicycle parking space for every ten automobile parking spaces.

2)

Multi-family developments shall provide interior bicycle parking facilities for building residents at a ratio of at least one bicycle parking space for every three dwelling units. Such bicycle parking facilities must be provided near the building entrance accessible to the street. Multi-family developments shall also provide bicycle parking facilities for visitors/public at a ratio of at least one bicycle parking space for every 20 automobile parking spaces provided.

3)

No development, except a one- or two-family development, shall have fewer than three bicycle parking spaces nor be required to exceed a maximum of ten such spaces.

4)

Bicycle parking facilities for nonresidential developments shall be located a maximum distance of 50 feet from the building entrance, or shall be located at least as close as the closest automobile space. Said bicycle parking shall not impede pedestrian traffic.

5)

Each bicycle parking facility shall include a metal anchor sufficient to secure the bicycle frame when used in conjunction with a user supplied lock.

D.

Land banked future parking.

1)

Land banking future parking. The city council may grant relief from city parking requirements to allow banking of up to 25 percent of the required parking spaces, provided that:

a)

Sufficient evidence shall be provided by the applicant that supports the reduced parking needs.

b)

The area proposed for land banking of parking spaces shall be an area suitable for parking at a future time.

c)

Landscaping of the land-banked area shall be in full compliance of the zoning regulations and, at a minimum, landscaped with turf grass. As a result of site plan review, additional landscaping of the land-banked area may be required.

d)

The land banking area will not be used for any other use. The land banked parking area cannot be used to fulfill other landscaping, greenspace, or stormwater detention/retention requirements within this appendix.

2)

As part of the site plan review process, the applicant shall show the area to be banked on the site plan and marked as "Land-Banked Future Parking."

3)

The zoning administrator at their sole discretion, on the basis of increased parking demand for the use, or provided parking proving to be inadequate, may require the conversion of all or part of the land-banked area to off-street parking spaces. The owner may convert the land-banked area to parking, subject to all required permits.

(Ord. No. 6753-08-2022, § 2B(Exh. A), 8-16-2022)

(Ord. No. 6753-08-2022, § 2B(Exh. A), 8-16-2022)

Citywide design guidelines (Appendix A of Appendix B of the City Code) shall be applied in the review process for any development in the I-55 District. Those standards are augmented by additional design guidelines shown below, which are reflective of unique characteristics of certain subdistricts. The design guidelines presented in this subsection are not specifically required to be incorporated into a development. Where appropriate for the site, structure and design, the building elements identified here are presented as options for how citywide design guidelines may be met in the I-55 District.

A.

Intent: Building frontage elements in this section should be considered by developers, property owners and designer to be incorporated into design of buildings in the Goshen Center and Goshen Mixed Use Subdistricts. When applied, they should be in context of existing structures or consistent with an overall design plan for multiple buildings.

B.

Applicability: Use of these design elements will be considered by the plan commission and city council regarding planned unit developments and special uses. If no such zoning process is required, these elements will be considered through the site plan review process.

C.

Building frontage types appropriate in the Goshen Center and pedestrian oriented areas of Goshen Mixed-Use Subdistricts.

1)

Awnings and canopies: A canopy is a cantilevered structure, often retractable, made of canvas or similar material. The covering protects pedestrians from the elements and should enhance the appearance of a building facade.

2)

Bay windows: Bay windows add character, variety, and physical depth to buildings. When bay windows are included forward of the build-to line by no more than two feet, when authorized by the zoning administrator.

3)

Storefront: A storefront should be oriented toward pedestrian areas with the entrance at sidewalk grade and easy to identify. The storefront should be transparent so merchandise and activities in the store can be seen. An overhang, canopy, shading element, or awning that encroaches over the sidewalk can be used to enhance the storefront.

4)

Outdoor cafe: An outdoor cafe accommodates outdoor seating for restaurants and cafes. Where possible, outdoor cafes should be located on private property. All outdoor cafe areas must meet the requirements of chapter 22, article V, (Outdoor dining on sidewalk).

D.

Building frontages considered appropriate in pedestrian oriented areas of the Goshen Mixed Use Subdistrict. The architectural elements noted in this subsection D are not compatible or appropriate with all architectural styles or forms of development. The elements described below should only be applied in situations where they are in keeping with the architectural and visitor use objectives of the development. The city will apply this consideration as it evaluates whether city wide architectural guideline requirements are met.

1)

Balconies: Balconies may or may not have roofs, but are open, outdoor, non-air-conditioned parts of the buildings. On corners, balconies may wrap around the side of the building facing the side streets. Balconies that occur in front of the build-to-line shall not extend past the curb line.

2)

Terrace and light court: This architectural design is where the facade is set back from the property line by an elevated terrace or sunken light court. This buffers residential use from urban sidewalks and removes the private yard from public encroachment. The terrace is suitable for conversion to outdoor cafes as the eye of the sitter is level with that of the standing passerby.

E.

Building frontages in the in Pin Oak Commercial District. In addition to citywide design guidelines, development in the Pin Oak commercial subdistrict should integrate the following considerations:

1)

Encourage a sense of arrival through the placement of significant buildings and attractive architectural facades.

2)

Highlight city entry points at the interchange and buildings sited near there with character creating features like intensive landscaping, public art, water features, etc.

3)

Improve visual aesthetic of roadways using landscaping and streetscape amenities (gateway and wayfinding signage, lighting, pedestrian paths), planted medians, and landscaped setback areas.

4)

Edwardsville gateway signs with complementary landscaping should be located in the area.

(Ord. No. 6753-08-2022, § 2B(Exh. A), 8-16-2022)
