The following zoning districts are hereby established for the Village of Glen Ellyn, Illinois. For the interpretation of this title, the zoning districts have been formulated to realize the general purposes as set forth in section 10-1-2 of this title. In addition, the specific purpose of each zoning district shall be as follows:

(A)

CR Conservation/Recreation District: The CR district is designed to preserve the existing open space area or protect natural resources; a second purpose is that of protecting the public health, safety, comfort and welfare; and, thirdly, reducing financial burdens imposed on the community and its individuals by restricting the use of those areas which may be subject to periodic flooding or which constitute water retention or recharge areas;

(B)

CC Community College District: It is recognized that public community colleges are enabled by the general assembly of Illinois and established pursuant to public referendum to provide educational facilities through capital projects in accordance with standards established by rules promulgated by the Illinois community college board in order to provide comprehensive higher education programs for the communities serviced by the public community college. Public community college facilities require unique uses with multiple buildings, recreational facilities and integrated vehicular and pedestrian systems and provide educational, economic and cultural benefits to the Village. For these reasons, it is appropriate to recognize the governmental powers of the public community college and to provide flexibility to public community colleges in the development of their property. The CC district is intended to provide such flexibility to the College Of DuPage. To the extent consistent with the public community college's educational mission, the Village shall engage with the College Of DuPage in a cooperative manner to minimize any negative impacts of development on the residential surrounding area. Development in this district shall only be in accordance with a master plan approved by the Village Board of Trustees;

(C)

RE Residential Estate District: The RE district is intended to preserve the existing large lot single-family residential areas with a rural/country estate type setting that may be annexed to the Village. The requirement for curbs and gutters, sidewalks, and streetlights may be waived by the Village Board after evaluation by the Plan Commission. This district will be generally located on the periphery of the Village;

(D)

R0 Residential District: The R0 district is intended to accommodate rural/country estate type residential uses, characterized as areas of low density, large lot single-family dwellings. The requirement for curbs and gutters, sidewalks, and streetlights may be waived by the Village Board after evaluation by the Plan Commission. This district will be generally located on the periphery of the Village;

(E)

R1 Residential District: The R1 district is intended to provide for large lot single-family areas. This district will be located generally on the periphery of the Village;

(F)

R2 Residential District: The R2 district is primarily designed to accommodate and protect the low density, single-family neighborhoods which comprise the bulk of the land use in Glen Ellyn;

(G)

R2B Residential District: The R2B district was created with the intention of applying this district to certain portions of unincorporated DuPage County as they are annexed to the Village. The standards in this district are a combination of DuPage County's R4 single- family residence district and Glen Ellyn's R2 Residential District. By combining the standards of these two districts the Village hopes to better protect the character of existing single-family neighborhoods as they are annexed to Glen Ellyn and to reduce the number of nonconformities that may be created upon annexation;

(H)

R3 Residential District: The R3 district is intended to provide areas of single-family, two-family and attached single-family dwellings. This district is also intended to serve as a transitional area between existing single-family residential neighborhoods and higher intensity land use areas;

(I)

R4 Residential District: The R4 district is designed to provide varied dwelling types of moderate density consisting of attached single-family and multi-family dwellings;

(J)

R5 Residential District: The R5 district is intended to ensure the planned and orderly development of those residential land areas identified within the Glen Ellyn Comprehensive Plan as areas which must be guided by an overall development plan to ensure the coordination of land use areas, dwelling unit densities, building sites, access points, internal circulation and open space systems. Within the R5 district, all unimproved land must be developed as a planned development, meeting all applicable requirements of the "planned unit development regulations" herein;

(K)

C1 District: This C1 district is reserved;

(L)

C2 Community Commercial District: The C2 district is intended to provide basic services and convenience shopping for adjacent neighborhoods as well as the entire community;

(M)

C3 Service Commercial District: The C3 district is designed to allow for a wide range of retail and service uses and to accommodate those motorist oriented commercial activities which may be incompatible with uses encouraged in other business districts;

(N)

C4 Office District: The C4 district is intended primarily to accommodate office buildings, and civic and governmental structures in a mutually compatible environment;

(O)

C5 Central Business District: The C5 district constitutes the historic business area of the Village. The C5 district is comprised of two separate and distinct subdistricts: the C5A Central Retail Core and the C5B Central Service. A principal purpose of this district is to maintain and protect the primary retail core of the "downtown", generally bounded by Pennsylvania, Forest, Hillside and Glenwood (C5A subdistrict). This compact area should be intensely developed and oriented to pedestrian shopping. Outside this retail core area, the remainder of the C5 district (C5B subdistrict) is intended to accommodate necessary service uses and consolidated parking, while allowing for the gradual and planned expansion of the retail core. Within the C5 district, all unimproved land or additions to existing structures which increase the square footage of a structure that is 4,000 square feet or greater, or increase a structure any size by more than 25 percent must be developed as a planned development, composed of permitted and/or special uses in the C5 district, and meeting all applicable requirements of the "planned unit development regulations" and "administrative procedures" herein;

(P)

C6 Commercial/Multiuse Planned Development District: The C6 district is intended to ensure the planned and orderly development of those areas identified as mixed use development areas in the Glen Ellyn Comprehensive Plan. These land areas are characterized by a number of unique design, land planning, and access considerations that warrant careful control of development by the planned development procedure. Within the C6 district, all unimproved land or additions to existing structures must be developed as a planned development, composed of permitted and/or special uses in the C6 district, and meeting all the applicable requirements of the "planned unit development regulations" herein;

(Q)

I1 Light Industrial Zoning District: The I1 district is intended to provide an environment suitable for industrial activities that do not create appreciable nuisance or hazards and which can be located harmoniously on the same lot with office uses and in relatively close proximity to residential areas.
