morals and welfare.
B. Intent: The planned development is intended to provide for
developments incorporating a single type or a variety of related uses
Elk Grove Village Zoning
5-1 5-2
which are planned and developed as a unit. Such development may
consist of conventionally subdivided lots or provide for development
by a land use and zoning plat in keeping with the purpose of the
plan. (Ord. 842, 12-19-72)
5-2: PROCEDURE: A planned development shall be granted as a
special use in accord with the following procedures.
Applications shall be made on forms provided by the Village and shall be
accompanied by the required plats and documents. The application at each
step shall be reviewed and certified by the Plan Commission as being in
accordance with the planned unit development requirements.
A. Pre -Application Conference: Prior to the filing of an application for
planned development, the developer may request of the Plan
Commission, through the Village Manager, an informal meeting to
discuss the development of his land in conjunction with the Village
Plan'. Said meeting shall be a part of a regularly scheduled
meeting, shall be open to the public and be included on the
Commission's agenda in advance of the meeting.
The pre -application conference is not mandatory and does not
require formal application, fee or filing of a planned development
plat.
B. Approval of Preliminary Plat: A preliminary plat of the planned unit
development shall be submitted to the Village Manager for
transmittal to the President and the Board of Trustees who shall
refer same to the Plan Commission for public hearing, report and
recommendation as to whether or not the President and Board of
Trustees should issue special use permit for the plan. The required
procedure for approval of the preliminary plat shall be:
1. Materials Submitted: Submission of the following:
a. Written application for approval of a planned development to
be made on forms and in the manner approved by resolution of the

place not more than thirty (30) nor less than fifteen (15) days before
the hearing by publishing a notice thereof at least once in a
newspaper published or having general circulation within the Village.
3. Certifications: Copies of the preliminary planned development plat
and supporting data shall be submitted to the Village Manager and
Village Attorney for certification as to conformity with these
regulations, recommendations and suggestions.
4. Decisions by Plan Commission: Following the public hearing and
review of the preliminary planned unit development plat and
supporting data for conformity to these regulations, the Plan
Commission shall, within sixty (60) days from date of public hearing,
recommend approval, modification or disapproval, and the reasons
therefor, or indicate why a report cannot be rendered to the
President and Board of Trustees. As a condition to the approval of
the preliminary plat, the Plan Commission shall set forth in a
separate communication to the President and Board of Trustees
findings of fact on which it bases its approval, which findings shall
satisfy the zoning district requirements and as provided herein.
5. Decisions by President and Board of Trustees: The President and
Board of Trustees, after receipt of the preliminary development plat
from the Plan Commission, shall approve, modify or disapprove the
preliminary plat. In the case of approval, or approval with
modification, the Board of Trustees shall pass an ordinance granting
the special use permit and reciting necessary findings of fact,
indicate their approval upon the plat, direct the recording of said
documents as deemed necessary with the Recorder of Deeds and
arrange Zoning Map modifications as necessary. The Board of
Trustees may require such special conditions as it deems necessary
to insure conformance with the intent of all Comprehensive Plan
elements and the stated purpose of the planned development.
6.Interpretation of Preliminary Plat Approval: Approval of a
preliminary planned development plat shall not constitute approval of
the final plat. Rather, it shall be deemed an expression of approval
to the layout submitted on the preliminary plat as a guide to the
preparation of the final plat which will be submitted for approval of
the Village and subsequent recording upon the fulfillment of the
requirements of these regulations and conditions of the preliminary
Elk Grove Village Zoning
5-2 5-2
approval, if any. The final plat shall be approved as the final land
use and zoning plat if it conforms with the preliminary land use and
zoning plat. No building permit shall be issued for any structure until
the approval of the final plat.
C. Approval of Final Plat: The final planned development plat shall
conform substantially to the preliminary plat as approved, and if
desired by the developer, it may be submitted in stages with each
stage reflecting the approved preliminary plat which is proposed to
be recorded and developed; provided, however, that such stages
conform to all requirements of these regulations. The required
procedure for approval of a final plat shall be as follows:

preserve the public interest.
Final plats and supporting data shall show, in detail, the design,
location and use of all buildings and overall land development.
2. Certification: The final plat and supporting data shall be submitted
to the Village Manager or his designated agent for certification that
the final plat is in conformity with these regulations and in agreement
with the approved preliminary plat.
3. Decisions of Plan Commission: After review of the final plat, the
Plan Commission shall, within thirty (30) days after submittal,
recommend approval or disapproval or approval subject to stated
modifications and the reasons therefor to the President and Board of
Trustees.
4. Decisions of President and Board of Trustees: The President and
Board of Trustees, after receipt of the final plat from the Plan
Commission, shall approve or disapprove the final plat and shall
pass an ordinance authorizing the issuance of any and all other
necessary permits.

Permits are to be issued only after the final planned development
plat and supporting data have been approved by the Village
President and Board of Trustees.

planned development shall be effective only upon recording by the
Village Clerk, unless this Code shall otherwise provide, of the
planned development plats and supporting data with the County
Recorder of Deeds. No permit allowing construction of a building or
other development shall take place until the approval of the final plat.
The purpose of the land use and zoning plats is to designate, with
particularity, the land subdivided into conventional lots as well as the
division of other lands not so subdivided into common open areas
and building sites. The preliminary plat shall generally locate
buildings whereas the final plat shall show the exact location of each
building site. The recording of the land use and zoning plats shall
inform all who deal with the planned development of the restrictions
placed upon the land and act as a zoning control device.
E. Changes in the Planned Development: The planned development
project shall be developed only according to the approved and
recorded final plat and all supporting data. The recorded final plat
and supporting data, together with all recorded amendments, shall
be binding on the applicants, their successors and assigns and shall
limit and control the use of the premises and location of structures in
the planned unit development project as set forth therein.
1. Major Changes: Changes which increase the number of
bedrooms, the number of dwelling units containing two (2) or more
bedrooms, the density, the height of buildings, reductions of
proposed open space, changes in the development schedule or
changes in the final governing agreements, provisions or covenants
may be approved only by submission of a new preliminary plat and
supporting data and following the preliminary approval steps and
subsequent amendment of the final land use and zoning plat.
2. Minor Changes: The President and Board of Trustees may
approve minor changes in the planned development, provided they
do not change the concept or the intent of the development. The
same may be done without going through the preliminary approval
steps aforementioned. Minor changes shall be changes not defined
as major changes.

A. Purpose and Intent: A Combined Multi -Family Recreational District is
of such substantially different character from other developments
within Elk Grove Village so that specific procedures, additional

for those portions of the District designated for multi -family
dwellings, except as specifically required as a condition of rezoning
or as a condition for approval of the conceptual land use and zoning
map'.
The intent of this District is to permit flexibility and creativity in

7D-1: DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT: An office park development is
of such substantially different character from other
developments within the Village of Elk Grove Village so that specific and
additional standards and exceptions are hereby set out to govern such
districts. An Office Park District is defined to be a project comprehensively
planned as an entity and encompassing not less than one hundred (100)
acres in area. Such a District shall be permitted only on tracts of land not
contiguous to a residential use within the Village and which is abutting or
contiguous to a major or secondary thoroughfare as designated on the
Village Official Plan' and must provide for sufficient utility services, either
in being or to be provided, including streets, sanitary sewers, storm water
and water source and transmission facilities to adequately serve said
District. The intent of this District is to permit flexibility and creativity in
design, as well as diversification in the planning and location of structures
for the development of an office park within the Conditional Use District.
The Office Park Conditional Use District will promote the efficient use of
land to facilitate a more economic arrangement of buildings, circulation
systems and land use. (Ord. 1441-A, 4-14-81)

A. Definitions:
AMPLITUDE: The maximum displacement of the earth from
the normal rest position.
DAYTIME Seven o'clock (7:00) A.M. to seven o'clock
HOURS: (7:00) P.M., local time.
DISCRETE A ground transmitted vibration stemming from a
IMPULSES: source where specific pulses do not exceed
sixty (60) per minute (or 1 per second).
FREQUENCY: The number of times that a displacement
completely repeats itself in one second of time.
Frequency may be designated in cycles per
second (cps) or Hertz (Hz).
IMPACT: An earthborne vibration generally produced by
two (2) or more objects striking each other so
as to cause separate and distinct pulses.
NIGHTTIME Seven o'clock (7:00) P.M. to seven o'clock
HOURS: (7:00) A.M. local time.
PARTICLE A characteristic of vibration that depends on
VELOCITY: both displacement and frequency. If not directly
measured, it can be computed by multiplying
the frequency by the amplitude times the factor
6.28. The particle velocity will be in inches per
second, when the frequency is expressed in
cycles per second and the amplitude in inches.
Elk Grove Village Zoning
7E-7-2 7E-7-2
SEISMOGRAPH: An instrument which measures vibration
characteristics simultaneously in three (3)
mutually perpendicular planes. The
seismograph may measure displacement and
frequency, particle velocity, or acceleration.
STEADY STATE: A vibration which is continuous, as from a fan,
compressor or motor.
VIBRATION: A reciprocating motion transmitted through the
earth, both in horizontal and vertical planes.

satisfied, under the evidence heard before it, that such variation, if
granted by the President and Board of Trustees, will not merely
serve as a convenience to the applicant but is necessary to alleviate
some demonstrable hardship or difficulty so great as to warrant a
variation in the following instances:

district divides a lot in single ownership as shown on record.

has been destroyed or damaged to an extent of more than fifty

surroundings or condition of a specific piece of property or by reason

of property of record or by reason of exceptional topographical
conditions, the strict application of any provision of this Code would
result in peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties or particular
hardship upon the owner of such property and amount to a practical
confiscation of property as distinguished from a mere inconvenience

provisions contained in this Code.

the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or unreasonably
diminish or impair established property values within the surrounding
area or in any other respect impair the public health, safety, comfort,
morals or welfare of the inhabitants of the Village. The concurring
