Crystal Lake Planning Commission Considers Possible Revision of Unified Deelopment Ordinance

The Crystal Lake Planning and Zoning Commission will meet this evening to conduct a one-year review of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Some of the highlights of the agenda to be considered include:
  • -Revisions to the limited/special use review criteria for some uses
  • -Change to the Clear Sight Triangle (Utilize IDOT Bureau of Local Roads method for calculating sight triangle dimensions)
  • -Clarification regarding when certain improvements to parking lots are required
  • -More uses added to the off-street parking requirements
  • -Sign Code Changes (for e.g. A-frame signs permitted City-wide versus just downtown and the Virginia Street Corridor, larger wall signage allowance depending on façade length).
The Zoning Commission will make a recommendation on the proposed amendments to the City Council and the Council will make the final decision.
