1.

If any building, structure or use exceeds or varies from any of the provisions of the health services district by ten percent (10%) or less, said modification shall be considered a minor change and shall be processed accordingly as set forth in Section 6-3-8 of this Title.

2.

If any building, structure or use exceeds or varies from any of the provisions of the health services district by greater than ten percent (10%), said modification shall be considered a major change and shall be processed accordingly as set forth in Section 6-3-8 of this Title.

3.

A conditional use shall not be granted unless the standards set forth in Subsection 6-3-8.2 of this Title and the following standards are met:

3.1.

Open Spaces: All proposed developments shall mandate the provision of landscaped open spaces between buildings and around setback areas in such a manner to ensure the provision of an adequate level of light and air and to diminish the appearance of height and bulk in relation to the character of the surrounding neighborhood.

3.2.

Materials: All new buildings or structures or additions to existing buildings or structures shall rely primarily upon high quality materials consistent with materials heretofore used to date within the overall development. Materials shall be of a high quality, especially where they are visible from surrounding uses or public rights-of-way. The architecture shall be designed so as to diminish the appearance of height and bulk with relation to the surrounding character of the neighborhood as well as to complement the existing buildings within the overall development.

3.3.

General Site Development: All development actions shall provide landscaping, pedestrian access, automobile access, and parking in such a manner that positively affects the value and enjoyment of the subject property, the provision of municipal services, and the flow of traffic throughout the subject site.

3.4.

Height: The height of the proposed structure shall not result in the imposition of an adverse impact on the surrounding character of the neighborhood and shall be visually compatible with the adjacent buildings within the health services district.

3.5.

Scale Of Building: The size and mass of structures shall enhance and emphasize open spaces designed to provide a buffer between surrounding uses and publicly dedicated rights-of-way and result in interconnectivity throughout the development.

3.6.

Proportion Of Front Facade: The front elevations of all structures shall be visually compatible with the buildings, public ways, and common open spaces to which the building is visually related through the enhancement of the provision of light and open space.

3.7.

Location: All new buildings or structures or additions to existing buildings or structures shall take into consideration surrounding land uses and the required adjacency aspects of the uses within the buildings or structures or additions to existing buildings or structures. The adjacency of uses shall be a factor to be considered in reviewing and approving any conditional use and shall be weighed as a factor when considering the request to exceed or vary from the provisions of the health services district.

3.8.

Economic Factors: Recognizing that the review process for medical facilities is not limited to the City of Naperville, and that the State of Illinois is also required to review any major construction projects for hospital facilities, economic factors shall be weighed as a factor when considering the request to exceed or vary from the provisions of the health services district. Review under this standard will take into consideration the standard set forth in Subsection 6-7J-6.3.7 of this Section, the State process (if any at the time of a request being filed) including the review parameters of the State as they relate to cost allowances, and the overall economic impact to the entity requesting approval. In doing so, the City recognizes the value to the general public health, safety and welfare of both the overall development and the specific request.

3.9.

Need: Any development must demonstrate the operational need for said development.
