DESIGN GUIDELINES
These design guidelines have been adopted by the Village as the basis for reviewing and
approving permitted, conditional and special use development, redevelopment and
modifications within the Innovation and Technology Center Zoning District.
Design Objectives
The guidelines illustrate key elements and design strategies for planning approvals, design,
construction and landscaping of development, redevelopment and modifications in the
Innovation and Technology Center Zoning District. The intention of the guidelines is to
promote development that will:
1) Create a high -quality business environment to attract and retain advanced technology -
driven uses in an aesthetically pleasing environment.
2) Distinguish and elevate the Innovation and Technology Center Zoning District as
separate and distinct from the Business Park, promoting local and regional recognition.
3) Encourage superior project design that will act as a catalyst for reinvestment and
redevelopment in the surrounding area and maintain uses and design that are
complementary to the nearby Elk Grove Technology Park.
II. Site Planning
A. Parcel Sizing
i. No parcel shall be less than four (4) acres in area.
B. Building Placement
i. Variations in siting and orientation of each building shall be considered in relation
to its specific parcel, the effect on adjacent parcels, and, as it occurs, the massing
of consecutive lots.
ii. Building entries should be located so that they are easily identifiable with
convenient public access. Each building should provide an aesthetically pleasing,
well-defined entry sequence for pedestrian and vehicular uses from the street to the
building.
