Review and Discussion of Revised Zoning Code Updates - Articles 6-9 (Rev. 11/07/2025) (Draft) Tim Schwecke, of Civi Tek Consulting, provided a summary of Articles 6-9 of the Zoning Code Update in-progress, highlighting key differences and changes from the existing code, identifying possible areas for mixed residential housing and cottage-style housing which would provide a range of housing options for residents. The next item of discussion was item 5. 5. Discussion of Summary of Review Authority - Zoning Code Update Tim Schwecke, of Civi Tek Consulting, provided a summary of review procedures as written in the proposed code, as well as a table containing an at-a-glance overview of the type, frequency, authority, and appeals process for each of the procedures. He reviewed the current conditional use process, explaining that the process could be simplified by granting staff and the Plan Commission more authority. Per Schwecke, if conditional use public hearings were held at the Plan Commission level, public comments could be taken into consideration prior to making recommendations to the Village Board. Discussion followed regarding what the conditional use process would look like, how it would impact applicants, how decisions would be made, and what an appeals process might look like. The Commission was supportive of the idea and recommended the development of a new public hearing process continue. 8. Citizens/Village Staff to Address the Plan Commission None. 9.
