COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT — Alderman Rodd, Chair
Director of Community and Economic Development Mike McMahon reviewed a
memorandum dated May 14, 2019.
The City of Des Plaines is proposing several text amendments to the Des Plaines
Zoning Ordinance which are as follows:
• Amending the Planned Unit Development — Permitted Exceptions and
Minimum Development Standards;
• Amending Off Street Parking Requirements for the following items;
• Amend the parking regulation for "Warehousing and Wholesaling";
• Add "Food Processing Establishment";
• Add "Shopping Center";
• Amending the Off Street Loading Requirement section;
• Adding a new Permitted Land Bank Parking section; and
• Amending or Adding the following terms to the Definition section of the
Zoning Ordinance:
• "Shopping Center"; and "Floor Area"
The Planning and Zoning Board recommended (5-0) that the City Council
approve the proposed Text Amendments.
Staff recommended approval of Ordinance Z-13-19.
Moved by Chester, seconded by Moylan to Approve Various Text Amendments
to the City of Des Plaines Zoning Ordinance; and further approve Ordinance
Z-13-19 be adopted at the appropriate time this evening. Upon voice vote, motion
declared carried.
Director of Community and Economic Development Mike McMahon reviewed
a memorandum dated May 15, 2019.
The petitioner, Lisa Neal of Doyle Signs, is requesting a major variation to allow
for 152 square feet of wall signage at 1365 Lee Street. The subject property is
located along Forest Avenue and is positioned behind an existing shopping center
and vacant outlot, both located along Lee Street. The petitioner's request to
allow a wall sign area of 152 square feet where only 125 square feet is permitted
constitutes the need for a major variation to Section 12-11-6(B) of the 1998
Des Plaines Zoning Ordinance.
The petitioner is requesting larger signs as the building is currently undergoing a
remodel and footprint expansion. There is an existing monument sign at the
southwest corner of 1387 Lee Street where the petitioner utilizes a panel for the
subject business. An active sign easement agreement, established in 2005, allows
Page 5 of 7 06/03/19
(Cont.) the subject business to have a panel on this sign. There is no request by the
petitioner to increase the monument sign panel.

LEGAL AND LICENSING — Alderman Brookman, Chair
City Manager Bartholomew and City Clerk Tsalapatanis presented text
amendments to the City Code regarding the City Clerk's duties. The portion of

Duties was drafted in 2002. In 2008 the City Council changed the City Clerk's
position from full-time to part-time and adopted Ordinances M-39-08 and M-40-
08. Upon approval of the Ordinances, the City Code was not updated to reflect
the job duties of a part-time position. Many of the responsibilities outlined in the
City Code have been taken on by other departments.
Staff recommended approval Ordinance M-15-19.

Plaines City Code Regarding Duties of the City Clerk; and further recommend
