Introduction. This section is designed to provide for the future growth and development of those residences, businesses, and industries that seek an aesthetically attractive working environment. The intent and purpose of this section is to promote and maintain desirable economic development within the district that is practical, feasible, and an asset to owners, neighbors, and the Village of Hobart while maintaining an attractive environment. To maintain flexibility and a timely review procedure, the following site review procedures will be utilized for review of potential developments within the district. All other zoning classifications remain subject to site review procedures as outlined in Article XXXIII of this chapter.

Objectives. The purpose of this section is to establish rules, regulations, standards, and procedures for approval of all new development proposals and the expansion of existing businesses and light industry and to comply with the stated goals, objectives and aesthetics outline in the Master Plan document.

Standard requirements. The interpretation and application of the provisions of these standards shall be held as minimum requirements for the promotion of the public health, safety, and welfare.

Master Plan conformity. No structure shall be erected, converted, enlarged, reconstructed or altered, and no structure or land shall be used for any purpose nor in any manner which is not in conformity with the provisions of this section and the Master Plan document.

Character and intensity of land use. The uses proposed and their intensity and arrangement on the site shall be of a visual and operational character which:

Economic feasibility and impact. The proponents of a site plan application shall provide evidence satisfactory to the Village staff and to the Site Review Committee of its economic feasibility, of available adequate financing, and that it would not adversely affect the economic prosperity of the Village or the values of surrounding properties.

Engineering design standards. The width of street right-of-way, width of paving, width of location of street or other paving, outdoor lighting, location of sewer, electrical, gas, cable, telephone, and water lines, provision for stormwater drainage or other similar environmental engineering considerations shall be based on standards necessary to implement the specific function in the specific situation; provided, however, in no case shall standards be less than those necessary to ensure the public safety and welfare as determined by the Village-designated engineer.

Implementation schedule. The proponents of a plan within the district shall submit a reasonable schedule for the implementation of the development to the satisfaction of the Village planning staff and Site Review Committee, including suitable provisions for assurance that each phase could be brought to completion in a manner which would not result in an adverse effect upon the community as a result of termination at that point.

Administration. The administration of this section shall be vested in the following: Village Administrator, Community Development Director, the Zoning Administrator/Building Inspector and Site Review Committee.

Purpose. The purpose of this section is to establish general development performance standards, in accordance with the Village of Hobart zoning ordinances, the Comprehensive Plan and the Master Plan document. These standards are intended and designed to assure compatibility of uses; to prevent urban blight, deterioration, and decay; and to enhance the health, safety, and general welfare of the residents of the community.

Building. The Master Plan encourages a variety of architectural styles. However, basic harmony is intended to prevail so that no one structure detracts from the attractiveness of the overall environment or the design themes and guidelines contained in the Master Plan. The Site Review Committee shall review building design in order to ensure architectural compatibility and integrity.

Building exterior. Within the district, all colors, materials, finishes, and building form shall be coordinated in a manner consistent with general guidelines of the Master Plan for each of the front, side, and rear exterior walls. Materials, color and texture may vary so long as the integrity of the design guidelines of the Master Plan document are upheld. The Master Plan document outlines appropriate materials, colors and texture and proponents of a plan should, to the maximum extent practicable, follow the guidelines for suggested building exteriors.

Front building wall and building walls facing an adjacent street. Any exterior building wall (front, side or rear) facing an adjacent street shall be constructed with materials consistent with the surrounding and adjacent buildings to uphold the general design theme within the district.

Mechanical equipment. All mechanical equipment shall be enclosed or screened. Roof-mounted equipment shall be integrated into the design of the structure, enclosed or screened to the maximum extent possible.

Construction. Construction shall commence within one year of plan approval or in accordance with a development agreement with the Village. No site plan approval by the Site Review Committee shall be valid for more than 12 months from the date of such approval unless a building permit is obtained and development in accordance with such site plan is commenced within such period. The provisions of this section shall apply unless otherwise agreed to by the Site Review Committee.

Maintenance. The exterior walls and roof of buildings shall be maintained in a clean, orderly and attractive condition; free of cracks, dents, punctures, breakage and other forms of visible marring. Materials that become excessively faded, chalked, cracked, chipped, damaged or otherwise deteriorated shall be replaced, refinished, repaired or repainted in accordance with the reasonable determination and order of the Zoning Administrator/Building Inspector within 60 days' notice of such defect.

No right to divide property. After a site plan has been approved, the property subject to the approved site plan shall not be further divided without a review and consent of the Village.

Fences.

Site plan review. No fence shall be constructed, moved or altered without Site Review Committee review. Fences constructed in Single-Family and Two-Family Residential (SFR) Districts are exempt from Site Review Committee review, provided they are reviewed by the Building Inspector/Zoning Administrator.

Any lighting used to illuminate off-street parking, loading and service areas shall be shaded, diffused, or arranged to reflect light away from adjacent parcels. Glare, whether direct or reflected, as differentiated from general illumination, shall not be visible beyond the limits of the site from which it originates. Parking lot lights may be used in either a single or multiformat. Characteristics include 27,000 metal halide, spaced approximately 100 to 120 feet off-center, consisting of sharp, cutoff-type luminaries, maximum height for pole not to exceed 30 feet, to be an approved pole. Poles must be uniform in style, per the Master Plan document, and height. The use of wooden poles is prohibited.

Walkway lighting should be of the same family as mentioned above, height to be 10 feet to 14 feet above grade. Bollard lighting can be used as low-level walkway illumination on private property.

Building lighting should occur as part of the overall design concept using recessed lighting in overhangs and at the entrance. Well-designed soft lighting of the building exterior is allowed provided it does not impact on the surrounding properties, complements the architecture, and the light source is concealed.

The use of building-mounted floodlights and tall freeway-type fixtures is prohibited. Ground-mounted floodlights used to accent principal buildings are permitted.

Flag directional lighting is permitted with approval of terms and conditions of use of such lighting by the Site Review Committee.

Site plan approval required.

Design objectives. The following objectives will be considered in reviewing any application for a site plan approval:

Site plan approval. The following procedure shall be followed for the submittal of site plans. Where procedures and requirements imposed by this section are either more restrictive or less restrictive than comparable procedures and requirements imposed by any other provision of this chapter or any other law, ordinance, resolution rule or regulation of any kind, the regulations which are more restrictive or impose higher standards or requirements shall govern. For purposes of this section, all applications must be executed by all owners and the party or parties that will be responsible for the development of the site, all of whom shall be collectively referred to in this section as the "applicant."
