No. 8346, § 3, passed 3-20-25)

(A)

Purpose. The following regulations are hereby established to promote the health, safety, general welfare and the orderly growth and/or redevelopment of properties within the Roosevelt Road corridor; to achieve the goals and objectives of the Lombard Comprehensive Plan and any special planning efforts undertaken by the village. This B4A District is intended to provide for specific uses in a planned retail commercial setting that is compatible and complimentary with adjacent uses, including nearby residential neighborhoods that will promote a high level of architectural and landscaping excellence. The establishment of this district shall encourage appropriate design principles for buildings, site planning, landscaping and/or signage. It also sets forth preferred land uses and land use regulations that advance the comprehensive plan's overall recommendation of preserving the corridor as a viable retail commercial corridor.

(B)

Applicability. The regulations for the Roosevelt Road Corridor B4A District shall apply to all properties within the district boundaries as depicted on the official zoning map. No land use or development within the Roosevelt Road Corridor B4A District boundaries, shall be commenced or approved except in conformance with the provisions of this Section.

(C)

Interpretation, scope of regulations. The regulations set forth by this Chapter shall be considered the minimum regulations and shall be uniformly applied, except as provided herein. For development activity occurring subsequent to the enactment of this Section, no building structure or land shall be used or occupied and no building or structure or part thereof shall be erected, constructed, reconstructed, moved or structurally altered except in conformity with all of the regulations herein. These regulations shall not apply to properties for which development approval has been obtained prior to the effective date of this ordinance. However, any future development activity not previously approved by the village prior to the adoption of this Section shall be subject to the regulations set forth herein.

(D)

Applicability. Because of the unique nature of the Corridor and that regional arterial corridors within Lombard have been identified as "areas of critical concern" due to heavy traffic movement, and because these corridors traditionally and functionally attract land uses of intense character, all development within this district shall, therefore, be subject to the site plan review provisions by the village's Inter-Departmental Review Committee (IDRC) as specified by subsection 155.103(1) of this Chapter. The IDRC and village staff shall provide guidance to the applicant to achieve the provisions set forth herein.

(E)

Design guidelines, objectives and considerations. The IDRC shall review all applicable permits for new construction to determine compliance with the Chapter. The IDRC shall consider the following criteria in reviewing an application:

(1)

Site design considerations: This Section pertains to how the site design impacts adjacent residences and neighborhoods, special management areas, adjacent streets, pedestrian needs, and parking lot function and safety.

(a)

Compatibility: The IDRC shall examine the functional relationship of the site to its surroundings, with special consideration of protecting adjacent residential neighborhoods. Particular attention should be given to the location of parking, driveways, outdoor lighting, outdoor use areas and compatibility of uses. Adjoining residential areas shall be protected by maintaining landscape buffers and providing decorative screening walls in locations where transitional setbacks cannot be provided.

(b)

Traffic patterns: The IDRC shall evaluate vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle traffic patterns. The development of land in cooperation with owners of adjoining properties is encouraged where parking, driveways, plazas and entries can be shared. Pedestrian and vehicular safety shall be maximized by properly locating and limiting the number of driveways as required by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and this Village Code.

(c)

Off-street parking: The IDRC shall evaluate the arrangement and adequacy of off-street parking facilities and access points. Parking shall be safe, easily accessible and shall not be allowed to dominate the entire development. Plant materials shall accent and define entries. Large paved areas shall be scaled down by introducing different materials. Specialty materials such as tile and brick may be introduced where appropriate.

(d)

Loading areas: The location, arrangement, and dimensions of loading ramps, docks and bays shall minimize visual and noise impacts on adjacent residential areas.

(e)

The location of trash receptacles and screening of such undesirable elements such as loading areas, trash receptacles and mechanical equipment shall be screened.

(f)

Exterior lighting and illumination upon neighboring properties shall meet the provisions included within subsection 155.602(A)(10)(d).

(2)

Site landscaping and buffering: Site landscaping shall buffer unwanted views and sound, create an interesting streetscape, and provide a safe transition between contrasting uses.

(a)

The location, height, and materials of walls, fences and screen plantings shall be reviewed. Selection of plant materials should be based on year-round interest, color, branching pattern, etc. Parking lots should be broken up with landscaped buffers to the greatest extent practical. The overall effect of both the perimeter landscaping and the interior landscaping should be one of a relatively consistent tree cover which will shade the pavement and vehicles.

(b)

Ensure plans for the on-going landscaping maintenance are achievable.

(c)

Open space should be located in a manner that maximizes its visual impact to adjacent rights-of-way and adjacent properties.

(d)

Requisite transitional buffers shall be designed to minimize the impact of ambient noise and light spill on adjoining residential properties.

(3)

Signage: Signage shall be designed in a manner that minimizes clutter and confusion and comply with provisions herein as well as within the Lombard Sign Ordinance (Chapter 153 of the Village Code). Signage plans for the entire site shall indicate how signs would be illuminated, their design and spatial relationship to other site amenities, including buildings. Signage, window designs and awnings are most effective when color coordinated with the building façade.

(4)

Utilities: Utility systems shall not detract from the building or site appearance. The size and location of all service systems shall be appropriate and maintainable. Electrical and telephone service systems shall be buried unless it is not deemed to be practical, as determined by the associated utility company.

(5)

Building design considerations: As part of the review process, the following elements shall be addressed:

(a)

Building mass: The relationship to the surrounding uses shall be considered in respect to the scale and massing of the proposed uses.

(b)

Exterior materials: Exterior materials and color shall reduce the apparent building mass and blend with the surrounding area. A variety of building colors to break up building mass is encouraged. Architectural elements such as overhangs, trellises, projections and awnings are encouraged to contribute to a building's character.

(c)

Building elevations: Building elevation treatments shall be carried to all sides of the building to the greatest extent practical. Building construction and design shall be used to create a structure with substantially equal attractive sides of high quality, rather than placing emphasis on the front elevation of the structure and neglecting or downgrading the aesthetic appeal of the side and rear elevations. Corporate building designs shall be blended to fit within or enhance the Corridor. Roof materials and rooftop mechanical screening shall complement the primary building material and color.

(d)

Accessory buildings: Accessory structures and/or additions shall utilize the same materials and design as the primary structure.

(F)

Plan review procedures. As with all applications for major developments and planned development applications, a pre-application meeting is strongly encouraged for development activity within the B4A District prior to submittal of a building permit. The intent of the meeting is to identify project issues, clarify submittal requirements and review the development standards for the B4A District.

Upon the completion of the Development Plan Review, applications for development within the B4A District that requires zoning relief shall be scheduled for action by the Plan Commission, the Zoning Board of Appeals and/or the Village Board, whichever is applicable, and upon submittal of an application for a public hearing. Should the proposal meet all provisions of this Village Code, the permit shall then be considered for approval by village staff.

(G)

Use regulations. The uses within the B4A District are designed to permit a wide variety of retail sales activity required to meet the demands of a developing local market and promote attractive development, an open and pleasant street appearance and compatibility with adjacent residential areas. Related personal, professional and business services which are complimentary to the overall corridor and adjacent residences can generally be deemed appropriate, provided that such uses are integrated into the overall context of the corridor.
