Title

General Plan Amendment, Rezone and Parcel Map Application No. PLN2020-0102 - M&B Family Development

Description

Request to amend the General Plan and zoning designation of a portion of a 2.84 parcel from Agriculture and A-2-40 (General Agriculture) to Planned Development, and to create a 0.35-acre parcel and a 2.47-acre remainder parcel, to legalize an unpermitted parking lot. The parking lot was developed with 28 paved parking stalls and an eight-foot tall chain-link fence with privacy slats without any land use or grading permits. The parking lot is proposed to be used in conjunction with the existing mixed-use development on the adjoining parcel to the south, via a reciprocal access easement. The mixed used development consists of an existing cardroom, 27-unit apartment complex, and restaurant. The parking lot will not be limited on the hours of use as the existing cardroom is open 24 hours a day. The use of the parking stalls will not be restricted, and stalls will be utilized by customers, employees, or any other visitors to the site. No additional customers are expected to be generated as result of this development. The applicant developed the parking lot as result of potential expansion of tables for the cardroom operation, which required additional onsite parking to be developed. Additionally, the 0.35-acre parcel is proposed to be developed with a storm drain basin, frontage improvements including curb, gutter, and sidewalks, two light poles 25 feet in height, and landscaping consisting of a combination of trees, shrubs, and groundcover along the eastern (road frontage), northern, and western property lines. No new well or septic systems are proposed for on-site use. No change in the General Plan and zoning designations of the 2.47-acre remainder parcel is proposed and the use of the property, which is developed with two single family dwelling and accessory structure will remain unchanged. Consequently, the remainder cannot be developed any further without a Master Plan for the North McHenry corridor.
