This section focuses on the creation of mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods, and emphasizes building "form," "public realm," and high-quality site and building design. It is intended to set the foundation for a vital, attractive downtown by encouraging streets, blocks, and buildings that are pedestrian- oriented, have a mix of uses, contain architectural diversity, and offer additional opportunities to live, work, and shop in the village. Downtown Plan implementation is intended to:
1.
Create a sense of place that has uses desired and needed by the community;
2.
Enhance the aesthetic appeal of the downtown;
3.
Provide desirable amenities such as parking, open space and streetscape improvements; and
4.
Address the needs of the downtown merchants, while attracting additional high-quality establishments.
More specific statements of intent are found within each major section of this Downtown Development Code.
(6)
Adopted plans. The following plans have been adopted by the village board of trustees and should be considered in any decisions under this Downtown Development Code in the D-D Downtown Development District:
a.
Downtown Strategic Plan (2021).
b.
Comprehensive Plan (2017).
c.
Downtown Revitalization Plan (2006).
(7)
Minimum requirements. The provisions of this Downtown Development Code are the minimum requirements deemed necessary to carry out its stated purposes and intent.
(8)
Conflicting provisions. Conflict with private agreements and covenants:
This Downtown Development Code is not intended to interfere with, abrogate or annul any easement, covenant, deed restriction or other agreement between private parties. The village does not enforce or maintain a record of private agreements.
(9)
Severability. Should any section, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase, or word in this Downtown Development Code be declared invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect any of the remaining words, phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs or sections of this Downtown Development Code, since they would have been enacted by the president and board of trustees without the incorporation in this Downtown Development Code of any such invalid or unconstitutional word, phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, or section.
(c)
Regulating framework.
(1)
Purpose. The regulating framework defines the desired physical form for Downtown Glenview and sets development parameters such as land use, street type, building height, siting and setbacks, and parking placement. The Development Code incorporates the recommendations of the Downtown Strategic Plan and Downtown Revitalization Plan but also applies to, and regulates, parcels not specifically referenced in these plans.
(2)
Permitted uses. The following is a general description of land uses allowed in the D-D Downtown Development District (see figure c-1 for the location of each use by block). For a list of specific permitted and conditional uses, see section 98-84.
a.
Full ground-floor retail. These buildings are required to have uses in accordance with those listed in the use table located in section 98-84 on the ground floor. On the ground floor, service uses may only occupy up to 25 percent of the floor area within the frontage (as measured 30 feet from the building line). Service and office uses are allowed on upper floors along these blocks. Upper-floor residential uses are also allowed.
b.
Partial to full ground-floor retail. Uses in accordance with those listed in the use table located in section 98-84 are required on the ground floor along these blocks. On the ground floor, service and office uses may only occupy up to 75 percent of the floor area within the frontage (as measured 30 feet from the building line). Upper-floor residential and service/office uses are allowed.
c.
Ground-floor retail/office/service. Uses in accordance with those listed in the use table located in section 98-84 are encouraged if feasible on the ground floor along blocks with this designation. Residential, service, and office uses are allowed on upper floors. All-residential buildings also are allowed.
d.
Residential uses only. Only residential uses are allowed along blocks with this designation.
e.
Retail/office/service uses only. Only uses in accordance with those listed in the use table located in section 98-84 are allowed.
f.
Institutional uses. Civic or institutional uses such as libraries, churches, and schools are allowed.
Figure c-1: Downtown Uses
g.
Below-ground uses. Ancillary commercial, ancillary residential, parking, storage, and mechanical uses are allowed in a basement or below grade floors. If commercial uses are permitted on the ground floor, such uses are also permitted in the basement level as long as access to commercial space is separate from access to upper story residential units.
h.
Depths of use. Depths of use requirements shown in Figure c-1 extend 30 feet from the Building Line.
i.
Transition of use around corners. Street Frontages along Glenview and Waukegan Road shall transition around the first 30 feet of the street frontage of the intersecting street.
(3)
Minimum commercial depth. Commercial uses must have a minimum depth (from the front building line to the rear of the retail floor area) of 30 feet.
(4)
Uses on the same floor.
a.
While uses can be "mixed" within buildings by floor as noted above, residential and commercial (retail, service, or office) uses cannot be mixed on the same floor in a building above the ground floor. Residential can be mixed with commercial uses on the ground floor but not on the same street frontage. Residential lobbies, leasing office, amenity space, or building entrances are exempt from this standard.
b.
When transitioning between commercial and residential uses around corners, building elements such as secondary entrances, plazas/paseos/walkways, parking access, or other features shall be used to separate uses.
c.
A residential lobby/elevator is required on the ground floor in all buildings with residential uses on upper floors. Commercial uses on the first floor may have a secondary entrance from this lobby as long as their primary commercial entrance is from the sidewalk on the street.
d.
Parking is allowed on the ground floor behind commercial uses in buildings with retail, service, or office uses on the ground floor.
e.
In addition to the use information noted above by location, see subsection (d), Street frontages, for more specific regulations on allowed uses.
(5)
Building heights. Figure c-2 depicts the maximum number of stories allowed in specific areas of the D-D Downtown Development District.
Table c-1, Table c-2, and Table c-3 provide the maximum allowable height in stories and feet. All dimensions are measured from top of finished floor to top of finished floor/roof deck. The zero-foot elevation is measured on a horizontal plane at the average of the four existing grades (prior to commencement of demolition/construction) measured at the four corners of the proposed building or structure located nearest the most distant lot corners.
a.
Floor heights by story for multi-story commercial or mixed-use buildings: The ground floor shall be at least 15 and no more than 17 feet tall, with the upper residential or office floors being at least ten and no more than 12 feet tall.
b.
Floor heights by story for multi-family residential buildings: All floors shall be at least ten and no more than 12 feet tall.
c.
Floor heights for Waukegan Road north of Grove Street and 155 feet south of Lake Avenue ROW (up to existing corner lot) on the west side of Waukegan: For mixed-use buildings, the ground floor shall be 15 feet, with upper residential floors being at least ten and no more than 11 feet tall.
d.
All building heights are inclusive of pitched roofs, building parapets, and mechanical screening. Buildings are encouraged to include varied roof heights and forms and discouraged from large areas of flat roof planes.
e.
Elevator penthouses are exempt from the building height requirements listed in Table c-1, Table c-2, and Table c-3 provided they are located at least 30 feet behind the primary building facade and serve accessible roof decks or terraces. In these cases, elevator penthouses can extend up to 15 feet above the top of the roof deck provided the maximum area of such penthouse(s) cannot exceed 250 square feet per elevator.
f.
Decks/terraces: Use of terraces created by building step-backs are permitted and encouraged. Decks or terraces are not permitted on rooftops, except within 50 feet of the Glenview Road street frontage.

* Only if allowed in accordance with the quantity of stories permissible in accordance with Figure c-2.
(6)
Parking. A minimum quantity of off-street parking stalls shall be provided for each use according to the following ratios:
a.
Minimum parking by use.
1.
Townhomes/rowhomes. Two spaces per unit.
2.
Multi-family. One space per bedroom for one- and two-bedroom units, 0.75 spaces per bedroom for each bedroom over two. Seventy-five percent of all parking spaces shall be located indoors.
3.
Retail/service. One space per 300 gross square feet (except in the Glenview Road Corridor Frontage).
4.
Office. One space per 300 gross square feet (except in the Glenview Road Corridor Frontage).
5.
Restaurant. One space per 160 gross square feet.
b.
Exemptions from minimum parking by use. For any new development project, the first 2,000 square feet of retail, office, or service use shall be exempt from the calculation for required parking spaces. The exemption shall be applied to the least generating use on the ground floor. Only one exemption shall be allowed per building.
c.
Minimum parking—Glenview Road street frontage. For any new development project, the first 2,000 square feet of retail, office, or service use shall be exempt from the calculation for required parking spaces. The exemption shall be applied to the least generating use on the ground floor. Only one exemption shall be allowed per building.
1.
Retail, office, and service uses in this frontage are required to provide one space per 500 gross square feet of floor area due to the availability of street parking and commuter parking along the tracks.
2.
Restaurants and residential uses shall provide parking according to the ratios listed in section 98-135(c)(6)a.5.
3.
In the Glenview Road Corridor frontage, when a new use occupies a building existing as of May 21, 1996, additional off- street spaces are not required, provided that parking serving the building was not eliminated or reduced after May 21, 1996.
d.
Shared parking.
1.
Collective provisions. Shared parking should be considered to minimize the visual impact of land devoted to parking and to provide more efficient parking.
2.
Location. All required parking spaces shall be on the same lot as the building or use being served or within 500 feet of the property line (see Figure c-4), provided that no off-street parking for a business use shall be in a residential district.
3.
Mixed-use shared parking. New buildings or developments can use Table c-4 to calculate shared parking provided they include more than one use listed in the table, and are located within the same block or parcel. To use the table, apply the use percentages to the maximum parking demand required per section 98-135(c)(6)a. and add all of the shared parking totals for each column. The largest number of the four columns is the maximum parking demand and is the required parking for new development. All shared parking plans will require a parking management plan to show maximum parking demand by use, proposed shared parking reductions, number of publicly accessible spaces, and designated/reserved spaces (if applicable).
4.
Waiver. The director of community development may waive the number of spaces required in part or entirely if shared parking is deemed sufficient based on the location of the proposed use, anticipated hours of peak parking demand, shared parking, and availability of alternative parking. An executed written agreement covering such collective use shall be filed with the director of community development or their designee.
Figure c-3: Shared Parking
Table c-4: Shared Parking Table
(d)
Street frontages.
(1)
Purpose and intent. Each downtown street has been assigned a street frontage designation to define an optimal "building envelope" and "public realm" using setbacks, sidewalk and street widths, and other design parameters.
Along with subsection (e), Design standards, the required street, sidewalk and building relationships are intended to foster new development that enhances and expands the traditional "Main Street" scale of downtown.
Figure d-1 assigns designations to all street frontages in downtown and establishes a building line for each frontage.
(2)
Building line.
a.
Building line. The building line is a "build-to" line that will help establish consistent "streetwalls," sidewalk widths, and streetscape zones (see Figure d-1).
b.
Relationship of building line to right-of-way or property line. The building line may differ from the current location of a right-of-way or property line. In these cases, because the building line must be "built to," the right-of-way (ROW)/property lines will need to be adjusted through dedication of property between the property owner and village. More specifically, the property owner may need to dedicate property to the public ROW to create the desirable street and streetscape width, or the village may transfer ROW to the buildable development site.
1.
For Glenview Road, the building line is intended to eventually bring all buildings more in line with an 18-foot sidewalk width east of the river and a common 15-foot sidewalk width west of the river.
2.
For Waukegan Road, the building line is intended to eventually eliminate parking lots in front of buildings and bring buildings closer to the sidewalk to better frame the street, reduce its perceived width and scale, and establish this roadway as a physical part of the traditional downtown starting at Lake Avenue. The code also incorporates foundation landscaping in front of all-residential buildings and a landscaped median in the center of Waukegan Road to provide a "green," attractive entrance to the downtown.
3.
For residential buildings along Waukegan Road, the building line provides room for a consistent sidewalk/streetscape space that will accommodate foundation landscaping in front of buildings.
c.
Where the building line designated in this section differs from the Subdivision Code, chapter 66, section 66-165, the provisions of the Downtown Development Code shall apply.
(3)
Street standards.
a.
Purpose and intent. The street standards defined for each street frontage delineate street and sidewalk conditions that will establish a more attractive, pedestrian-oriented shopping environment.
1.
Over time, desired or common sidewalk widths will be established to create a more regular walking experience from block to block that incorporates a minimum five-foot "free zone" walking area and additional space for street trees, plantings in raised planters, or parkways.
2.
Developers are required to install village-approved streetscape elements for new developments.
b.
Required. All developments within the D-D Downtown Development District must comply with the Code's street standards.
(4)
Street frontages.
Glenview Road Corridor: Downtown's primary pedestrian-oriented shopping street.
Waukegan Road Corridor: An auto-oriented corridor where the Downtown Revitalization Plan seeks to encourage a more pedestrian-oriented character similar to Glenview Road, especially south of Grove.
Secondary street: Secondary street frontages are also intended to provide a walking shopping/office/service environment while allowing all-residential buildings and respecting adjacent residential uses.
Transition Street: This frontage provides a transition between commercial and residential areas (along Washington and parts of Glenview and Dewes.)
River corridor: This corridor defines regulations to protect the Chicago River, increase its visibility, promote public access to the waterfront, and establish a central open space as delineated in the Downtown Revitalization Plan.
Where street frontage designations change along a street, either designation can be applied for a maximum of 75 feet in either direction along that frontage. Developments on corner lots should use standards for the building's primary street and standards for the "side street" frontage.
Figure d-1: Street Frontages
Figure d-2: Setbacks - River Drive Vacated
Figure d-3: Setbacks
(5)
Street setbacks. See subsections (d)(6) through (d)(9) for more specific details on the dimensions of setbacks within each frontage zone.
(6)
Glenview Road Corridor.
a.
Purpose and intent. The Glenview Road Corridor is applied to Downtown Glenview's traditional shopping street. This stretch of Glenview Road has a pedestrian-oriented, "Main Street" character, and the Downtown Revitalization Plan and Development Code seek to enhance this character by providing a consistent building "streetwall," and a streetscape/sidewalk zone that allows ample room for walking, shopping, outdoor dining, and landscaping.

c.
Building setbacks.
1.
Front yard. Zero. At least 75 percent of the ground-floor front façade must be built to within 30 inches of the building line, and ground-floor façades must be built to within 30 inches of the building line at each side property line. Within the 25 percent of the ground-floor façade not built to the building line, elements such as pocket parks, plazas, outdoor dining, areas to preserve mature trees, and landscape areas should be included. Where the façade above a recessed building entrance maintains the "street wall" at a distance within 30 inches of the building line, the frontage of the recessed entrance at the ground level shall be considered to be on the building line.
2.
Side yard, interior. Zero, at ground level. A ten-foot pedestrian pass-through is allowed if necessary to access a rear parking lot.
3.
Side yard, interior adjacent to residential district (including transitional street frontage). Twenty feet minimum
4.
Side yard, corner lot on side street. At least 60 percent of the ground-floor side façade must be built to within 30 inches of the building line.
5.
Rear yard. Five feet minimum.

This diagram represents typical conditions; existing conditions at individual sites
may vary.
d.
Building step-backs.
1.
Front: Starting with the fourth floor, ten feet from the building line, except for corner elements within 50 feet of the corner of the building.
2.
Side, interior: Starting with the second floor, ten feet from property line to allow air and light to windows.
3.
Side, corner lot: Starting with the fourth floor, ten feet.
4.
Building step-backs can include terrace step-backs, wedding cake step-backs, or corner terraces. See subsection (e)(7)b., Building massing strategies, for more detail.
e.
Parking placement. The following standards are for off-street, surface parking lots. In addition, parking may be contained within buildings or underground.
1.
Off-street, surface parking lots and parking decks must be placed behind a building.
2.
Five feet from the side yard. If a side alley or access drive is present, parking is permitted within the five-foot setback if the spaces are perpendicular to the alley. (Adjacent commercial parking lots must be connected.)
3.
Ten feet minimum from the rear of the lot if not adjacent to an alley.
4.
Five feet minimum from the rear of the lot if adjacent to an alley.
5.
Five feet from the building line on the side yard of a corner lot.
i.
Standards for underground parking. Underground parking must meet the building setbacks for the front and side yards at ground level specified in subsection (d)(6)c and the parking placement standards for the rear yard specified in subsection (d)(6)e.
Figure d-11: Glenview Rd. - Parking Placement
This diagram represents typical conditions; existing conditions at individual sites
may vary.
f.
Access.
1.
Mid-block curb cuts and access drives are not allowed in the Glenview Road Corridor. Loading, if provided, and parking access must be from the alley or side street.
2.
If no alley exists at the time of development, the developer is required to dedicate an alley ROW, construct the alley pursuant to Village requirements, maintain it by keeping it clear of stored materials and vehicles, and provide landscaping adjacent to the alley. Alley ROW width must be 20 feet with five feet remaining in the setback for foundation landscaping.
g.
Use. Land uses shall be in accordance with section 98-135(c)(6). For a list of specific permitted and conditional uses, see section 98-84.
h.
Building types. Building types allowed in the Glenview Road Corridor shall be retail/office and mixed-use as defined in subsection (e), Design Standards.
(7)
Waukegan Road Corridor.
a.
Purpose and intent. The Waukegan Road Corridor is currently an auto-oriented roadway that provides an entrance into Downtown Glenview's main shopping area. South of Grove Street, this corridor is envisioned as an extension of the pedestrian-oriented shopping environment found on Glenview Road. North of Grove Street, this corridor should provide an attractive, mixed-use gateway into the downtown retail core.
The Development Code seeks to both accommodate auto traffic and enhance the pedestrian environment along Waukegan Road. Establishing a consistent "streetwall" with an ample sidewalk/streetscape is the main priority for this frontage. Following a common building line and prohibiting off-street parking in front of buildings will allow Waukegan Road to be "framed" over time with building "streetwalls": (See Figure d-1.)

c.
Building setbacks.
1.
Front yard: Zero. At least 60 percent of the ground-floor front façade must be built to within 30 inches of the building line, and ground-floor façades must be built to within 30 inches of the building line at each side yard property line (unless an access drive is to be built adjacent to the interior side property line). An additional ten-foot plus 30 inches landscape setback is allowed for residential buildings. Within the 40 percent of the ground-floor façade not built to the building line, elements such as pocket parks, plazas, areas to preserve mature trees, and landscape areas should be included. Recessed building entries that maintain the "street wall" above do not count against building line calculations.
2.
Side yard, interior: Zero, at ground level. A ten-foot pedestrian pass-through is allowed if necessary to access a rear ROW lot.
3.
Side yard, adjacent to an access drive within property: Ten feet minimum where there is no alley requirement, zero in all other locations.
4.
Side yard, corner lot on the side street: At least 60 percent of the ground-floor side façade must be built to within 30 inches of the building line.
5.
Rear yard, adjacent to an alley: Five feet minimum.
6.
Rear yard, not adjacent to an alley: Twenty-five feet minimum.

Building step-backs can include step-backs, wedding cake step-backs, or corner terraces. See subsection (e)(7)b, Building massing strategies, for more detail.
e.
Parking placement. The following standards are for off-street, surface parking lots. In addition, parking may be contained within buildings or underground.
1.
All residential buildings.
A.
Off-street, surface parking must be placed in the rear 50 percent of the lot depth (from the front building line to the rear property line) except on the west side of Waukegan between the river and Dewes St.
B.
Five feet from the interior side yard (adjacent parking lots must be connected when sharing access drive).
C.
Ten feet minimum from the rear of the lot if not adjacent to an alley.
D.
Five feet minimum from the rear of a lot if adjacent to an alley.
E.
Five feet from the building line on the side yard of a corner lot.
2.
Retail/mixed-use buildings less than 30,000 square feet on ground floor.
A.
Off-street, surface parking is encouraged to be placed in the rear of the building, and at least 75 percent of the spaces must be placed in the rear 75 percent of the lot depth (from the front building line to the rear property line).
B.
Five feet from the building line for the remaining 25 percent of spaces. The parking area may not occupy more than 50 percent of the frontage.
C.
Five feet from the interior side yard (adjacent commercial parking lots must be connected).
D.
Five feet minimum from the rear if adjacent to an alley.
E.
Ten feet minimum from rear if not adjacent to an alley, or if adjacent to properties along a transition street or other residential zone.
F.
Five feet from the building line on side streets.
3.
Retail/mixed-use buildings greater than 30,000 square feet on ground floor.
A.
Five feet minimum from the front building line, although a portion of the off-street parking is encouraged to be placed to the side or rear of the building.
B.
Five feet from an adjacent rear alley.
C.
Fifteen feet from the rear setback if no rear alley exists, or if adjacent to a residential zone.
4.
Standards for parking enclosures: Sites without alleys are permitted to have an enclosed parking within the rear yard building setback. The parking enclosure must be setback ten feet from the rear lot line and the structure cannot be more than ten feet in height. Covered commercial parking is encouraged to be open and not enclosed with walls.
5.
Standards for underground parking: Underground parking must meet the building setbacks for the front and side yards at ground level specified in subsection (d)(7)c and the parking placement standards for the rear yard specified in subsection (d)(7)e.

f.
Access.
1.
Mid-block curb cuts and access drives are not allowed in the Waukegan Road Corridor north of Grove Street and south of Lake Street on the west side of Waukegan Road. Loading, if provided, and parking access must be from the alley or side street.
If no alley exists at the time of development, the developer is required to dedicate an alley ROW, construct the alley pursuant to Village requirements, maintain it by keeping it clear of stored materials and vehicles, and provide landscaping adjacent to the alley. Sufficient ROW should be dedicated to provide a minimum alley width of 20 feet, with five feet remaining in the setback for foundation landscaping. Access to alley from single-family lots on west side is prohibited. Property under common ownership bisected by alley ROW can be used for parking purposes. (See Figure d-18 and Figure d-19)
Figure d-18: Rear Step-back with Alley
Figure d-19: Future Alley North of Grove Street and South of Maplewood Lane
Any mid-block developer is required to build the alley up-front in anticipation of future links. The site plan must show how parking could be connected to the alley in the future and how a temporary Waukegan Road driveway would be disconnected and greened when the alley becomes active.
Because the mid-block access drive is a temporary condition until a continuous rear alley is established, upper stories are permitted to be built to the side lot line over the access drive.
2.
Curb cuts and access drives are allowed on all other Waukegan Road blocks and shall be shared where feasible. Adjacent surface parking lots utilized by commercial uses must be connected.
3.
Curb cuts along Waukegan Road must be at least 100 feet from any intersection with a side street, such as Stevens, Maplewood, MacLean, Grove, and Glenview.
4.
Direct access to indoor parking, such as a parking deck or indoor parking within a residential or mixed-use development, is not allowed directly off of Waukegan Road. Access must be from a side street or access drive, alley, or parking area. Temporary access can be permitted from Waukegan Road until alley is improved to nearest adjacent street.
5.
Access drives must be shared with other mid-block developments on the same block.
6.
If a driveway is to be used to access commercial or residential rear parking lots on Waukegan Road, it must be shared with future developments on adjacent properties via easements if the future development cannot be accessed from an alley or side street.
7.
Access driveways to indoor parking as well as surface parking lots from side streets must be at least 25 feet from Waukegan Road.
g.
Use. Land uses shall be in accordance with section 98-135(c)(6). For a list of specific permitted and conditional uses, see section 98-84.
h.
Building types. Building types allowed in the Waukegan Road Corridor shall be retail/office, mixed-use and apartment/condominium as defined in subsection (e), Design standards.
i.
Development scenarios. The following 3-D massing diagrams show potential development scenarios on a sample block along the Waukegan Road Corridor.
Figure d-20 shows two infill developments that comply with the Downtown Development Code and fit in among existing buildings. Figure d-21 shows how the block could develop over time with four buildings. In all cases, developments should feature high- quality architecture with appropriate articulation and fenestration as discussed in subsection (e), Design standards.
Figure d-20: Infill Redevelopment
Figure d-21: Infill Redevelopment—Quarter-block Segments
(8)
Secondary street.
a.
Purpose and intent. Dewes Street, Railroad Avenue, and Harlem Avenue as well as side streets that intersect with Glenview and Waukegan Roads are considered secondary streets within downtown. These streets are intended to have a mixed-use character that is supportive of the pedestrian-oriented shopping environment along the Glenview Road and Waukegan Road Corridors. The secondary street frontage also seeks to provide appropriate transitions from the shopping blocks to adjacent residential neighborhoods.
The Downtown Revitalization Plan and Development Code encourage a consistent "streetwall" of buildings and ample sidewalk/streetscape space. Limited curb cuts are allowed to provide shared access drives to new developments within a block. (See Figure d-1, as well as figures throughout this subsection).

c.
Building setbacks.
1.
Front yard: Zero. At least 60 percent of the ground-floor front façade must be built to within 30 inches of the building line, and ground-floor façades must be built to within 30 inches of the building line at each side yard property line. An additional ten-foot landscape setback is allowed for residential buildings. Within the 40 percent of the ground-floor façade not built to the building line, elements such as pocket parks, plazas, areas to preserve mature trees, and landscape areas should be included. Recessed building entries that maintain the "street wall" above do not count against building line calculations.

(10)
River Corridor.
a.
Purpose and intent. In addition to a green edge along the West Fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River, the Downtown Revitalization Plan envisions a central open space framed by mixed-use buildings south of Glenview Road. The River Corridor Frontage requirements provide appropriate setbacks from the river to create an attractive, landscaped open space along its edge.
b.
Requirements.
1.
Buildings and parking must be at least 35 feet from the edge of the river, which is measured from the established high-water elevations - in most cases the channel bank.
2.
Property owners shall accommodate public access to the river through paths, plazas, gardens, or other forms of open space.
3.
Natural landscaping should be provided within the 35-foot setback.
4.
Developments at this location should comply with the standards for the street onto which they front and should also review the standards for the adjacent street frontage.
5.
If in accordance with the vision presented in the 2021 Strategic Plan, River Drive, south of Glenview Road, is vacated by the Village and a park is added between the river and new development, the building line for any new development west of the park will be located 10 feet away from the new property line. The size and location of the park (if any) has not been determined but Figure d-30 and Figure d-31 reflect a range of possible outcomes as determined by the 2021 Downtown Strategic Plan. Within the ten-foot setback of a new building line from the property line, elements such as pocket parks, plazas, areas to preserve mature trees, and landscape areas should be included. These features should complement the adjacent park if it has been designed or installed.
Figure d-30: Balanced Park Option A
Figure d-31: Balanced Park Option D
The Park scenarios presented in this document only reflect a range of possible outcomes as determined by the 2021 Downtown Strategic Plan.
(e)
Design standards.
(1)
Purpose and intent. The following design standards were created to complement the development regulations in the Downtown Development Code. The Standards should be used by landowners, businesses, developers, planners, architects, landscape architects, and engineers as guiding principles for developments proposed in Downtown Glenview. The design standards are intended to maintain and enhance the physical character of downtown by encouraging development proposals that strive for high-quality design.
(2)
Village character. Although these standards do not mandate or endorse one particular style of architecture, they do recognize the value of Downtown Glenview's traditional historic revival architecture and its identity as an upscale, North Shore commuter railway village. The standards encourage development that respects the village's history, "fits in" with high-quality adjacent structures, and enhances downtown's overall architectural character.
In light of Glenview's extensive and popular public land holdings, the community's history of preserving, creating, and supporting unique natural areas, and the village's award-winning professional natural resources staff, the preservation of existing and installation of new trees and green infrastructure in the downtown will require forethought, strategy, and employing available technologies from the scientific fields of arboriculture and urban forestry.
(3)
Objectives. Site and building design should enhance downtown's eclectic character by:
• Fostering a "built over time" appearance with variations in façades, building height, and rooflines.
• Articulating buildings with detailed fenestration, high-quality materials, signage, and lighting.
• Incorporating attractive, year-round streetscape/landscape elements.
• Incorporating environmentally sensitive, sustainable design where feasible.
Using forethought, strategy, science, and technology, we strive to create, maintain, and foster a mature tree canopy in the downtown for the benefit of businesses, residents, and visitors for generations to come.
(4)
Context. The design of each development, whether it consists of one or multiple buildings, will be reviewed by Village boards and commissions for its suitability for a given site, compatibility with adjacent development, and consistency with the goal of improving the design quality of Glenview's built environment. In addition, other plans and development regulations affect development in Downtown Glenview.
The Comprehensive Plan provides goals and objectives and a land-use direction for the entire Village.
The 2006 Downtown Revitalization Plan and 2021 Downtown Strategic Plan sets a new direction for the improvement and development of the area. The Downtown Development Code and its design standards seek to implement the Revitalization Plan by providing development regulations and design direction.
The Glenview Municipal Code provides a variety of other related development regulations, as noted in the introduction and administration sections.
(5)
Organization.Section 98-135(e)(6) lists the standards specific to certain building types in the downtown and includes "wireframe" diagrams that provide guidance regarding appropriate scale and massing. This section also provides photographs of buildings that feature high-quality design.
Subsection (e)(7) provides design standards applicable to all downtown buildings on properties covered by the code.
Subsections (e)(8) through (e)(10) provide standards for building materials, lighting, and outdoor cafés.
Subsection (e)(11) provides parking standards.
Subsection (e)(12) includes standards for downtown streetscape and landscape.
(6)
Building types. The following building types are allowed in Downtown:
• Mixed-use
• Retail/office
• Multi-family
• Rowhome/townhome
Each building type must comply with the regulating framework and street frontages sections and follow the design standards in this section.
The photos and graphics that follow show images for each building type. They provide additional direction for building siting, massing, and design. The 3-D "wireframe" diagrams are intended to show massing, scale, and fenestration but are not intended to show detailed architecture and articulation or indicate a preference for one architectural style for downtown.
Photographs included in these design standards are intended to show high-quality design and architecture but may not comply with every provision of the Downtown Development Code.

1.
The main entrance to each dwelling must face the street.
2.
Buildings on corner lots shall be designed with two front façades.
3.
Service, equipment, and trash areas must be located in and accessed from the alley where feasible.
4.
The design of garages, including materials, should be compatible with the design of the rowhomes/ townhomes.
(7)
Building design.
a.
General.
1.
To maintain an active pedestrian environment, buildings shall be oriented toward streets, sidewalks, and/or public plazas.
2.
Façades shall be proportioned to respect the human scale.
3.
Façade elements shall provide a change in plane, creating interest in light and shadow.
4.
Standardized, formulaic, non-regional architecture and architectural features used primarily for advertising purposes are not allowed.
5.
Developers should consider creative, adaptive reuse of high-quality existing buildings.
b.
Building massing strategies. The following building massing strategies are intended to reduce the visual mass of building façades, reduce the "canyon effect" on streets, while maintaining a "street wall" that is crucial to creating a pedestrian-oriented environment. Any building up to two floors with a façade over 120 feet long, and all buildings over two floors shall utilize façade articulation (see subsection (e)(7)b1. and all buildings over three stories shall require at least one other building massing strategy. This is in additional to specific requirements for street frontages specified in subsection (d), Street frontages.
1.
Façade articulation. Façade articulation is a strategy for creating rhythm and visual interest on a building façade or expressing a corner element, and can be used in conjunction with other building massing strategies. Articulated façades shall not be set back less than 30 inches from the primary building façade. façade articulation is required based on a 40-foot average, minimum. For example, a building that is 160 feet long would require four articulation points that could be more than six feet wide each on the façade.
Articulated façades are not required to be expressed on the ground level of a mixed-use building along a commercial tenant space, as the recessed tenant space entry serves this function. The articulation setback areas will be calculated according to the building line standards described in each frontage zone building setbacks subsection. See Figure e-8.
Figure e-8: Façade Articulation
2.
Wedding cake step-back. A wedding cake step-back is similar to a terrace step-back, except the step-back occurs on the upper floor rather than the second. This strategy should be considered to reduce the visual impact of buildings on the street and adjacent properties. Typically wedding cake step-backs are utilized on front or side façades but could also be used on rear façades to minimize the visual impact of buildings on adjacent properties. All step-back areas are encouraged to be utilized as public or private terraces and shall be set back no less than ten feet and no greater than 15 feet from the ground level façade. 75 percent of a building's upper floor façade must be stepped back to be considered a wedding cake step-back. See Figure e-9.
Figure e-9: Wedding Cake Step-back
3.
Corner terrace. A Corner Terrace is a public or private terrace located at a building corner. They are typically located above the first floor and serve as an amenity space for residential or office or outdoor dining terraces. Corner terraces shall be a minimum of 400 square feet and no larger than 25 percent of the ground floor building footprint. See Figure e-10.
Figure e-10: Corner Terrace
4.
Terrace step-back. A terrace step-back is defined as a setback of the building façade above the first floor. Typically terrace step-backs are utilized on front or side façades but could also be used on rear façades to minimize the visual impact of buildings on adjacent properties. All step-back areas are encouraged to be utilized as public or private terraces and shall be set back no less than ten feet and no greater than 15 feet from the ground level façade. 75 percent of a building's upper level façade must be stepped back to be considered a terrace step-back. See Figure e-11.
Figure e-11: Terrace Step-back
c.
Articulation.
1.
Plane/material changes.
i.
A building base, middle, and top shall be strongly articulated through materials, details, and changes in the plane of the wall, including step-backs and patios on upper floors.

Mixed-use buildings must have a distinct ground-floor base with easily identifiable, traditional storefronts with clear glass and kneewalls.
iv.
Façades shall be articulated to express vertical rhythm related to structural columns and bays.
v.
Building design should feature a balance of vertical and horizontal elements.
vi.
Unarticulated, flat-front, all-glass, or all-metal buildings are prohibited.
vii.
To prevent a "dead wall" on buildings with first-floor parking, articulate the ground floor with faux windows, banding, or other architectural features.
2.
Visual interest.
i.
Building orientation and design elements shall encourage overall visual continuity between developments.
ii.
To avoid a look of monotony of materials or design, buildings should be articulated, such as with projections, recesses, material changes, parapets, cornices, and varying roof heights.
iii.
Commercial, multi-family, and mixed-use buildings over 150 feet long should be "broken up" with articulation and contribute to a "built over time" appearance. Changes in materials, colors, rooflines, variations of window patterns or modules, architectural styles, or architectural features such as railings, columns, or cornices should also be considered.
iv.
Because of the prominence and visibility of corner buildings, features such as a cupola, rotunda, atrium, clock tower, pilasters, roofline balustrades, and/or varying rooflines should be considered to add visual interest to downtown.
d.
Entries.
1.
Building entries should be clearly defined and articulated.
2.
Primary store entrances shall be located along the primary street frontage, with secondary entrances located behind the building or along a side street.
3.
Primary access to individual commercial storefronts, including restaurants, must be from the street/sidewalk and not from inside lobbies and hallways.
4.
On mixed-use commercial buildings, residential or office entrances/ lobbies should be distinguished from storefronts and located on side streets and away from intersections wherever possible.
5.
Recessed entries for retail and service uses are encouraged to provide cover from the elements and to allow easier opening of doors. Non-recessed doors should not encroach into the five-foot pedestrian clear zone when opened. Primary building entrances shall not be recessed more than ten feet, secondary entrances and storefronts should not be recessed more than five feet. Recessed entries will not count as a portion of the façade built to the building line if the façade above the entry respects the building line. See subsection (d), Street frontages, for more detail regarding setbacks and building line lines.
e.
Roofs.
1.
Roofs can be pitched or flat.
2.
Pitched roofs shall utilize a minimum pitch of 4:12 and overhanging eaves shall be incorporated into the design of the building.
3.
Flat roofs or pitches below the minimum ratio shall be concealed with a parapet that extends around all sides of the building and shall screen all rooftop mechanical from public view.
4.
Varied roof pitches, planes, and heights shall be used to break up the massing of roofs visible from the public ROW. Roofs over 120 feet in length shall incorporate roof variation into the design.
5.
The roof design should be incorporated into the overall design of the building, working harmoniously with selected massing strategies specified in subsection (e)(7)b., Building massing strategies.
f.
Fenestration.
1.
Location.
i.
Ground-level retail or office space shall include large, clear-glass windows that allow views into building interiors to reinforce an active shopping and business environment.

For all development that abuts a residential property at the rear, an eight-foot-high solid screen fence is required along the property line. If alley condition is present, fence to be installed within alley ROW adjacent to residential property. Fence to be maintained by property owner.
viii.
Service areas can be used to access underground storm water detention for maintenance, as long as access to driveways or parking areas are maintained.
Figure e-12: Rear Façade Service Area
2.
Location and maintenance.
i.
Separate areas for loading, trash, and utilities for individual businesses are discouraged. Shared service areas between businesses should be considered for ease of maintenance and improved aesthetics.
ii.
Rear façades visible from streets and sidewalks should be treated with similar articulated architecture and fenestration as the front and sides of the building. Architecture and fenestration on the rear façade should extend at least 40 feet from the curb on a side street (see Figure e-13).
iii.
Loading, trash, and utility areas (including pipes, conduit, utility boxes, and utility doors) shall be located out of view wherever possible and in all cases screened from street and sidewalk views. Roof top mechanicals shall be located in the middle of the roof and shielded by a screening wall similar in design and materials to the building.

If a driveway is needed to access rear parking lots, it must be shared with future development on adjacent properties via easements if the future development cannot be accessed from the alley or side street.
Figure e-16: Parking Layout
(12)
Streetscape/landscape. An attractive and effective streetscape will provide visual continuity from block to block and continue to define downtown as a special place. Developers should incorporate the Village's streetscape design into development, including standards for street trees, street furniture, pavers, and other streetscape elements. This will help visually unify the district.
a.
Design.
1.
The current streetscape design installed along Glenview Road should be enhanced and continued throughout downtown, with modifications to match different road and sidewalk widths.
2.
Landscape and hardscape for large corner bump-outs should be treated on an individual basis because of particular needs and situations in each area. Individual elements should follow the overall downtown streetscape design theme.
3.
The developer is responsible for installing Village-approved streetscape elements within all new developments.
4.
Developments are encouraged, where feasible, to include "greening" elements such as planter boxes, gardens on terraces or patios, landscaping, and other environmentally attractive and beneficial features.

Pattern book. The pattern book is meant to highlight a range of architectural styles, details, and intentions that reflect the preferred look and feel of new development in Downtown Glenview. These images are reflective of multiple community visual preference exercises and other means of garnering community input over an 18-month process. The pattern book is not meant to be a definitive or exhaustive review of design styles or details, rather it is intended as a guide for future development direction.
The pattern book categories include:
• Architectural style
• Façades
• Recesses/projections
• Overhangs/awnings
• Entryways
• Tower elements
• Roofs
• Materials
• Windows/fenestration
• Expression of base, middle, and top
• Architectural details
Architectural style.
Intent: While no specific architectural style(s) have been chosen for downtown, building designs should complement the historic nature of the area, support a look of being "built over time", and reflect an expression of high-quality, timeless materials and design details.
Façades.
Intent: Façades play a very important role in creating the "character" of downtown. Façades evoke immediate impressions about the quality of the development. Articulation of façades can provide visual interest to the building and highlight important areas such as entries, display windows, and outdoor dining while positively impacting the visual scale of buildings.
Recesses/projections.
Intent: Recesses or projections in the building facade provide an opportunity to reduce the scale of long building façades, articulate important architectural features, and provide visual interest to the buildings. Highlighting areas such as entries, important displays, outdoor gathering/dining areas, or structural repetition with recesses or projections help to organize and unify buildings within downtown.
Overhangs/awnings.
Intent: Overhangs and awnings can be used to emphasize building entries, provide protection from rain, create signage opportunities for tenants, and reduce the visual mass of buildings at the sidewalk. Awnings can be structural or fabric.
Entryways.
Intent: Entryways should be recessed to provide visual interest to the ground plane, rain protection, and to reduce conflicts of doors opening directly onto the sidewalk. Entries can be combined with awnings/canopies, signage, display windows and/or plantings to creating a welcoming entrance into a building or shopfront. If a building includes multiple entries, visual consistency between the entries is important to create a unified streetscape.
Tower elements.
Intent: Tower elements can be used to add visual interest to a building and mark important intersections or gateways in downtown. As shown in the images below, tower elements need not project higher than the primary roof height to be effective.
Roofs.
Intent: Roofs create visual interest in buildings, and screen roof top mechanical equipment. Used properly, roofs can create a sense of rhythm and hierarchy in buildings with long façades. Variations in roof forms can be used to mark building entries, or frame important gateways in downtown.
Materials.
Intent: Building materials should be muted, natural, and evoke high-quality, timeless architecture. Brick, stone, and/or other masonry products should be considered for primary building materials, while wood, metal or stucco should be used sparingly as accent materials.
Windows/fenestrations.
Intent: Windows should be organized on the building facade to best serve the intended use of the buildings and to also provide structure, rhythm, and repetition to the building facade. In ground floor retail applications, windows (along with entrances) are the most visible aspect of the building and should be designed to provide a harmonious "base" to a building.
Expression of base, middle, and top.
Intent: All multi-story buildings should express the base, middle, and top through step-backs, architectural details, and/or material changes to form a unified building facade that include proportionality that is consistent throughout downtown.
Architectural details.
Intent: Architectural details such as brick or masonry details, inset windows, metal work, etc. provide visual interest to buildings and support the "built over time" look and feel that is appropriate for downtown.

(Ord. No. 6494, § 15, 9-6-2022)
Sec. 98-200. - Open space developments.
(a)
Statement of purpose.
(1)
The intent of this subsection is to permit one-family residential development in certain selected and restricted areas that, through design innovation, will encourage creative development alternatives that will benefit the total community by preserving desirable open space, wetlands, woodlands and other natural assets, in conjunction with the development of clustered one-family attached and detached residential dwellings, and provide improved design alternatives other than conventional subdivision development for difficult sites. The proposed open space development must meet the letter and spirit of this chapter, and the use will be compatible with already existing uses in the area, not interfere with the orderly development of the area and not be detrimental to the area.
(2)
The purpose of an open space development is to provide a method of development for land that permits variation in lot sizes without an increase in the overall density (numbers of dwelling units per acre) of population or development. This allows developments of varying lot sizes so as to provide home buyers a choice of lot sizes according to their needs and preserves open space, tree cover, scenic vistas, natural drainageways and outstanding natural topography. Such measures prevent soil erosion by permitting development according to the nature of the terrain; provides larger open areas with greater utility for rest and recreation; and encourages the development of more attractive and economic site design.
(3)
Open space developments are permitted only as planned developments in accordance with the provisions of section 98-50, section 98-84, and article X, planned developments, of this chapter of the Code. In order to be eligible for consideration as an open space development, the subject property shall exhibit one or more of the following conditions:
a.
The property is of such a depth and/or width so as to make traditional single-family subdivision platting difficult.
b.
The parcel is shaped in such a way that it contains acute angles which would make a traditional development difficult to achieve.
c.
The parcel contains a floodplain or poor soil conditions which results in a substantial portion of the total area of the parcel being unbuildable. Soil test borings, floodplain maps or other documented evidence must be submitted to the hearing body in order to substantiate the parcel's qualification for open space development.
d.
The parcel contains natural assets which could be preserved through the use of open space development. Such assets may include the natural stands of large trees, land which serves as a natural habitat for wildlife, unusual topographic features or other natural assets which should be preserved.
e.
The parcel contains natural land forms which are arranged so that the change of elevation within the site includes slopes in excess of ten percent between the elevations. The elevation changes and slopes shall appear as the typical feature of the site, rather than the exceptional or infrequent features of the site. The topography is such that achieving road grades of less than that permitted by the Village would be impossible unless the site were mass graded.
f.
The site plan creates the additional open space required under this subsection (p) as a site amenity.
g.
In addition to one or more of the conditions set forth in subsections (1)c.1.—6. of this section, the site shall contain at least one of the following characteristics:
1.
The parcel has at least one lot line which abuts a non-single-family residential zoning district, a permanent non-residential use or major thoroughfare; or
2.
The parcel is situated so that the open space development option will allow flexibility in design and placement of open space for increased insulation and protection for the residential units from an adjacent expressway or other major thoroughfare.
(b)
Total project dwelling units per acre. The number of dwelling units per acre of the proposed open space development shall not exceed that permitted in the underlying zoning district. In calculating the dwelling units per acre of the proposed open space development, the total site area shall exclude public or private rights-of-way, paved parking lots and any school and/or park sites. In calculating the permissible numbers of dwelling units per acre in the underlying zoning district, the following shall be used:
(1)
R-E, one dwelling unit per two acres.
(2)
R-1, one dwelling unit per acre.
(3)
R-1.3, 1.33 dwelling units per acre.
(4)
R-2, two dwelling units per acre.
(5)
R-3, three dwelling units per acre.
(6)
R-4, four dwelling units per acre.
(7)
R-5, five dwelling units per acre.
(8)
RT-8, eight dwelling units per acre.
(9)
R-18, 18 dwelling units per acre.
(c)
Minimum parcel size. No open space development shall be permitted unless the development contains a total site area of not less than five acres.
(d)
Permitted uses. Single-family detached dwelling units, attached dwelling units (townhomes) and related accessory structures shall be permitted uses in open space developments.
(e)
Bulk requirements.
(1)
The following bulk standards shall be applicable to open space developments, notwithstanding the bulk standards applicable to other types of planned developments:

Single-family attached dwellings shall be set back a minimum of 30 feet between buildings.
4.
Exterior side setbacks (adjoining a street). Exterior side setbacks (adjoining a street) shall be set back a minimum of 20 feet to the right-of-way.
5.
Interior rear setbacks. Interior rear setbacks shall be a minimum of 40 feet between buildings.
f.
Maximum site coverage. Maximum site coverage shall be 40 percent of the net area of the site. For purposes of this subsection, the term "net site area" shall mean the total site area exclusive of any site area devoted to public or private rights-of-way. However, at the discretion of the hearing body and/or Village Board, such percentage may be adjusted as deemed appropriate or desirable with respect to the proposed development.
g.
Minimum site perimeter yard. A yard shall be provided around the perimeter of the site of no less depth or width than that required by the underlying zoning or the corresponding minimum yard required on the property adjacent to the site, whichever is greater. If the property abuts a right-of-way, the perimeter yard shall be that established on the approved site plan.
(2)
Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (5)a. of this section, the hearing body and/or Village Board shall have the right to impose such requirements or adjust and/or increase any such requirements as set forth in this section.
(f)
Minimum total parking. A minimum of two parking spaces shall be provided per unit, with additional parking spaces to be provided and located commensurate with anticipated need as established by Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) or other similar standards.
(g)
Additional application requirements. In addition to the submission requirements applicable to other planned developments, any application for an open space development shall also include:
(1)
A statement setting forth the total area of the tract;
(2)
The available developable acreage;
(3)
The maximum number of lots allowable for the site by the underlying zoning under conventional zoning requirements;
(4)
The number and size of lots in the proposed open space development; and
(5)
The total area of the open space system.
(h)
Additional approval standards. The following standards are applicable to open space developments and supplement the other planned development approval standards set forth in this section:
(1)
An open space development shall include substantially more open space than might be expected with more traditional development patterns.
(2)
Each dwelling unit shall be provided with an adequate private area adjacent to each such unit for the benefit of the resident.
(3)
Each dwelling unit within the development shall be provided with linkages and/or vistas or shall otherwise benefit from the open space areas proposed as part of the development.
(4)
Street and right-of-way widths within the development shall be designed and installed to the minimum width necessary to provide minimum emergency vehicle access, preserve the benefits of concentrating development on the site and foster a sense of immediacy and community.
(5)
Design techniques shall be incorporated into the design of the street system to reduce traffic volume and speed.
(6)
Through streets shall be minimized and the use of cul-de-sac and other design features shall be encouraged to reinforce the desired development pattern of small groupings of residences surrounded by open space.
(7)
Adequate alternative utility easements shall be provided elsewhere on the site in order to accommodate public utility needs appropriate to the minimal widths of public rights-of-way.
(8)
Sidewalks might not be required in an open space development if alternative pedestrian paths are provided that may include carriage walks to accommodate and encourage pedestrian circulation. In instances where no sidewalks are provided, linkages to circulation systems and public areas on adjacent properties shall be required.
(9)
The size of dwelling units within the open space development shall be consistent with needs of anticipated residents.
(10)
Common areas shall be protected from future development by conservancy or other easements that shall also assign ongoing maintenance obligations for such areas.
(11)
