(A)

General Purpose: The purpose of the Olde Schaumburg Centre (OSC) Overlay District is to provide a regulatory framework that will enable the unique, turn of the century character of the area at the crossroads of Schaumburg and Roselle Roads to be preserved and to encourage compatible new development. The village seeks to strengthen the aesthetics and economics of the village centre by enabling the development and/or redevelopment of quality retail, commercial, office and residential uses in a village centre setting. The centre allows for the function of contemporary land uses while emphasizing pedestrian orientation within an intimate streetscape design and deemphasizing automobile related uses. The OSC overlay district is designed to accomplish these purposes by doing the following:

(1)

Regulating building location with a zero (0) or small setback to create an intimate streetscape character and pedestrian-oriented environment;

(2)

Prohibiting parking in front yards, except in limited situations, to create a pedestrian focused rather than automobile focused environment and to create a stronger architectural statement by keeping buildings close to the roads; and

(3)

Prohibiting drive-through facilities and automobile related uses to encourage a pedestrian focused rather than automobile focused environment.

(B)

Designation of Olde Schaumburg Centre Overlay District: The Olde Schaumburg Centre Overlay District shall apply to the area of land at the crossroads of Schaumburg and Roselle Roads and shall be shown as an overlay to the underlying zoning districts on the official zoning map of the Village of Schaumburg, as amended.

(C)

Application of District: The provisions in this OSC overlay district shall serve as a supplement to the underlying zoning district regulations. Except where specifically altered in this OSC overlay district, the uses, minimum lot size, minimum lot width, yard requirements, lot coverage, floor area ratio, and maximum height shall be determined by the regulations applicable to the underlying district to which the OSC overlay district is superimposed. Where a conflict exists between the provisions of this section and those of any underlying zoning districts, the OSC overlay district provisions shall apply.

(D)

Site Plan Review: To ensure compliance with the applicable provisions of this chapter, any exterior construction, change in use, or increase in the intensity of an existing use, including variations and special uses, but excluding normal maintenance activity, in the OSC overlay district shall require site plan review by the plan commission for residential properties, zoning board for commercial properties and approval by the village board of trustees prior to the issuance of a building permit. This process shall ensure that all development proposals are in full compliance with all applicable village codes, ordinances, standards and policies. Development proposals which are located within existing buildings or result in the redevelopment of existing properties shall comply with those village requirements and policies determined appropriate by the village board.

(E)

Regulation of Construction, Rehabilitation, Exterior Appearance, Demolition, and Removal: It shall be unlawful for any person to construct, move, alter, change, make addition to, make any improvement to, add structures or buildings, demolish or remove the exterior or any aspect of the exterior of any building located within the centre unless the village has previously authorized such work. Prior approval shall not be required for ordinary repair and maintenance, in which there is no exterior change in appearance, or changes in color according to subsection (G) of this section. However, it shall be unlawful to change the color of the exterior of a building in the centre in violation of subsection (G) of this section.

(1)

Exterior alterations shall be reviewed by either the village board or the director, depending on the scope of the proposed work.

(a)

The village board shall consider exterior alterations that entail structural change, change in architectural style, building additions, new construction, and demolition. Such consideration shall not be made without a report on it from the plan commission or zoning board.

(b)

The director or designee may approve all other exterior alterations. Those shall include exterior repair and/or restoration which does not include structural change, change in architectural style, building additions, new construction, and demolition.

1.

The applicant shall submit to the community development department, hereinafter referred to as the "department", four (4) copies of plans showing existing and proposed exterior alterations.

2.

The director or designee shall render a decision in writing on the proposed plans within fourteen (14) days. If no decision is made within fourteen (14) days, the plans shall be deemed to be approved.

3.

If the plans are denied by the director, the applicant may appeal to the village board through the plan commission or zoning board. Such appeal must be made in writing to the director within ten (10) days of the denial. Such appeal shall be processed through the plan commission or zoning board in the same manner as in subsections (E)(2) and (E)(3) of this section.

(2)

In reviewing the proposed plans, the director, the plan commission or zoning board, and village board shall determine:

(a)

Whether the proposed construction or exterior alteration conforms to the objective and design criteria established for said centre as adopted by the plan commission or zoning board.

(b)

Whether the proposed work will highlight or positively enhance any exterior architectural feature of the improvement upon which said work is to be done.

(c)

Whether the new improvements will have a positive effect and harmonize with the external appearance of other neighboring improvements.

(d)

Whether the proposed improvements will have a positive effect on the general welfare of the centre.

(e)

Whether the proposed improvement will be in conformance with the historical character and appearance of the centre.

(f)

Whether the plans meet the requirements of the Olde Schaumburg Centre design manual.

(g)

Whether the plans are consistent with the preservation practices recommended in the secretary of the interior's standards for historic preservation.

(3)

If the proposed action involves the demolition, partial demolition or removal of a structure or accessory structure in the centre, a public hearing shall be held before the plan commission or zoning board.

Additional information shall be provided to the director or designee as needed for verification of material detailed in subsection (E)(3)(a) of this section.

(c)

If it is determined that the demolition or removal would produce results contrary to the purpose of this section, the proposed demolition may be denied by the village board after a recommendation on such from the plan commission or zoning board.

(d)

In approving the issuance of the demolition permit, the village board may prescribe any conditions it deems necessary to minimize the adverse impact of the requested demolition or removal.

(e)

Notwithstanding any provisions of this section to the contrary, the applicant may submit an application to the plan commission or zoning board for finding of economic hardship within forty-five (45) days of the denial of a demolition permit by the village board, requesting such finding should the applicant perceive said denial as causing economic hardship. Upon review of the required documentation provided by the applicant, the plan commission or zoning board shall recommend approval or denial of the application. The final decision shall be made by the village board. If the village board approves the application, the applicant shall be permitted to proceed with the proposed demolition based on the demonstrated presence of financial loss. The plan commission or zoning board shall require documentation of the applicant's financial condition relating to the subject property. This documentation shall be used by the plan commission or zoning board to determine the existence and validity of economic hardship.

General Purpose: The purpose of the Golf Road Corridor Overlay District is to provide guidelines and standards for development projects and land uses along Golf Road. The corridor is the village's highest traveled corridor and is a premier retail location. The eastern portion of this auto-oriented corridor serves as a regional destination, and it transitions further west to include uses that service a more localized population. The primary objective of the overlay is to maintain Golf Road as a premier commercial location by governing future land uses. It aims to promote quality commercial retail character while complementing the various car dealerships and other service uses within the corridor. The village seeks to accomplish the objectives of the Golf Road Corridor Overlay District by implementing the following:

(1)

Regulate specific land uses within the corridor by creating four (4) sub-districts.

(2)

Supplement and promote a mix of commercial, retail, and service uses to complement and enhance the "auto row" identity of the corridor.

(3)
