THE HAIGHT was built in 1890 and operated as the Elgin Storage and Transfer
Company for more than 25 years, running horse drawn buses carrying the Elgin watch
factory workers to and from their homes prior to the automobile being invented.
Over the years several businesses have occupied this space including the most recent
which was John Haight Studios a private industrial design company.
John was the patriarch of the Haight family as well as owner of the building now referred
to as THE HAIGHT.
This space and all it encompasses is dedicated to him.
Today THE HAIGHT offers it’s guests the quintessential “rustic/warehouse/loft”
experience. Our guests choose THE HAIGHT because it is truly the unique
experience they are looking for their event and their guest’s experience.
The venue offers an ambience that is smartly decorated with a nod to Elgin’s
historic and industrial heritage.
It’s a one of a kind venue in Kane County with its look and, most importantly , it’s
vibe.
It’s not the grandest venue in the area, but it is unique and in a nonintimidating
way; welcoming and comfortable. And classy.
WELCOME TO THE HAIGHT!
Currently there are approx. 33,800 brides in the suburbs of Chicago
actively planning their weddings.

beautifully. Thank you to the "Haight family" that oversaw the night to make sure we were happy”.

entire team (from Doree & John) to their event planner Leanne have been so helpful, courteous, and
quick to respond.
•A lot of hard work and talent went into this place!
•Beautiful setting. One of the best Venues around.!! Five star rating
•Many told us it was the best wedding they'd ever been to, and I attribute much of the success to this
amazing and unique venue.

entertainment is arranged separately but the venue is an old warehouse with outstanding ambience.
Lots of great photo opportunities .
•I attended an event here. Absolutely beautiful place!! I loved the exposed brick and the entire set up!!
•Doree, John & Leanne were great in responding to our questions and concerns and very
accommodating when we wanted to stop by and have a look at the place (which we probably did about 3
times)!
•Everything sailed without a hitch and we have the greatest memories of the best day of our lives.
Thank you!

Okay.
Moving ahead, it is customary for me to
2
go over the agenda briefly especially for those at home
3
who may not be able to have a copy of it.
4
We have a number of very interesting items
5
tonight, and many of them have a commonality, and that
6
commonality is the word "adaptive reuse."
7
warehouse proposed to be an assembly hall; there is an
8
existing storm water detention area that wants to be
9
enlarged and support a larger facility; and, finally,
There's an old
10
there's an old set of rules -- and I'll go into that
11
later on -- that were useful in the past, but
12
circumstances have changed and they need to be updated
13
and perhaps reused.
14
So in any case, our city of Elgin is in the
15
forefront of the environmental movement and that it
16
considers the concept of adaptive reuse as something that
17
we need to take careful thought about how plan for the
18
future of our community.
19
So having said that and getting ready for the
20
big show, I'm going to ask that now anybody who wants to
21
speak tonight at the podium officially, you have to be
22
sworn in with our court reporter.
23
would be those of you who are officers of the court.

Okay.
First item on our

agenda tonight is No. 20-14, and it involves the building
6
at 166 Symphony Way which, again, is being proposed for a
7
use that it was not originally intended for.
I'm going to ask Ms. Momodu, do you have
8

evidence of proper notice for that?
10
MS. MOMODU:
Yes, we do, Mr. Chairman.

indication of interested parties?

And have you an
Yes, we do.
I think I have a sheet

So will you then introduce the Petitioners and
16
give us a brief summary of what's involved in this
17
petition, please.
18
MS. MOMODU:
Yes, Mr. Chairman.
19
The Applicant has requested a conditional use
20
to permit land use that involves the assembly of people
21
within an existing building which is located at 166 Symphony
22
Way, and tonight we have Mr. Mark Schuster here representing
23
the Applicants.

Mr. Schuster, if you please want to step up to

We need to know your
name, sir.
MR. SCHUSTER:
7
Mark Schuster, I'm an attorney
8
at law here in Elgin, Illinois, and I'm here tonight on
9
behalf of the Applicants for this conditional use at
10
166 Symphony Way.
The application is submitted by
11
John Haight and Raul Nigron.
The company that will operate the premises
12
13
should the conditional use be granted is The Haight

Company.
15
We have a PowerPoint presentation regarding the use of
16
the property.

MR. SCHUSTER:
Thank you.
24
Tell me, do you have any on-site parking at all?
PLANET DEPOS

THE HAIGHT:
Not on-site, no.
2
MR. SCHUSTER:
3
your facility, where do they park?
4
MS. HAIGHT:
Okay.
So when people come to
There is a multitude of public
5
parking lots.
6
side of our building; we have the parking deck.
MR. SCHUSTER:
7
8
Just a second.
So that's a
surface lot that accesses off of Douglas Avenue; right?
MS. HAIGHT:
9
Correct.
MR. SCHUSTER:
10
11
We have the City parking lot on the west
All right.
And then -- go
ahead.
MS. HAIGHT:
12
Then we have the parking deck
13
kitty-corner from that surface lot.
14
MR. SCHUSTER:
And that's the one right next
15
door here to City Hall; correct?
16
MS. HAIGHT:
Correct.
Then we have the
17
municipal lots right here.
18
The Centre there's another free parking lot, as well, as
19
well as street parting.
MR. SCHUSTER:
20
21

23
24
The other side of The City
You mean down by the river?
MS. HAIGHT:
22
Then on the other side of
On the other side of the -- yes,
The Centre.
MR. SCHUSTER:
Okay.
Has there ever been a
PLANET DEPOS

problem with people parking and -- obtaining parking when
2
they come to your facility?
3
MS. HAIGHT:
4
MR. SCHUSTER:
5
Not at all.
between Highland Avenue and Kimball Street; correct?
6
MS. HAIGHT:
7
MR. SCHUSTER:
8
Yes.
MS. HAIGHT:
Yes.
MR. SCHUSTER:
10
So there's good arterial street
access to the premises?
12
MS. HAIGHT:
13
MR. SCHUSTER:
14
And that's midblock between
Douglas and Spring Street.

Correct.
All right.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I have no other

16
now answer questions or respond to comments from members
17
of the Commission.
Mr. Dixon, you're on first, sir.
18
19
comments, thoughts at this point?
20
mind.
Questions,
You may change your
21
MEMBER DIXON:
Thank you.
22
First, I'd just like to say thank you for the
23
building and wanting to have that business there.
24
looks like a beautiful interior design, and it looks like
PLANET DEPOS
It
19
1
something that a lot of people will really enjoy.
So
2
it's great to know that you're trying to ramp it up and
3
just do it more often and do it the right way.
4
first want to say thank you for that.
So we
We appreciate that.
I am just wondering, since you've already --
5
6
and this is not a deep question at all.
I was just
7
wondering since you've already started doing events over
8
the last year in 2014, so if you get the green light, how
9
soon are you going to be -- how soon will it be before
10
you hit the ground running, or is that something that you
11
still have to do a lot -- put a lot more into?
12
the time frame for that?
What's
13
MS. HAIGHT:
We're almost -- we're pretty much
14
on the ground running right now.
15
exposing the space, but we let everybody know that things
16
are in the works.
We're out there
So like I said, we're getting four or five
17
18
inquiries a day on this.
19
MR. SCHUSTER:
So it's just a matter of time.
Mr. Dixon, if I may, there's
20
one or two building issues.
There's a second exit that's
21
required, and there's been a plan proposed and a permit
22
issued.
23
that.
24
inside to complete the handicap access next door.
If it stops snowing, we're going to start on
There's a chair lift that needs to be installed
PLANET DEPOS
And we
20
1
have the liquor question, although, the facility could
2
operate through the catering system as is.
So as soon as those things can be resolved and
3
4
the City Council might approve this conditional use, the
5
company is ready to start.
MEMBER DIXON:
6
7
you.
8
any objections to this.
Okay.
Great.
Looking at this, this looks great.
MS. HAIGHT:
9
Best of luck for
So I don't have
Thank you.
10
MEMBER DIXON:
So good luck.
11
12
Ms. Beyer, your turn.
13
MEMBER BEYER:
Yes.
Thank you, Mr. Dixon.
There have been some
14
concerns that I am reading about about parking.
15
address a little bit how people park when they come to
16
your facility?
17
but some of it is quite a distance away from your
18
facility.
I know there's a lot of parking there,
19
MS. HAIGHT:
20
MEMBER BEYER:
21
22
Can you
Sure, sure.
Can you just kind of address
that a little bit?
MS. HAIGHT:
We can address -- with our
23
clients we can address the parking up front with them.
24
If they need it pull up and drop somebody off, they can
PLANET DEPOS
21
1
do that.
But like I said earlier, we've really directed
2
all of our clients to park in the free municipal lots or
3
City lots, and we also have an agreement with Ziegler Ace
4
Hardware that if need be, we can use their lot, as well.
Now, granted, yes, some people -- the majority
5
6
of people may have to walk a block or so, but it's no
7
different than if you park in a Marriott parking lot and
8
you have to park in the last parking spot and walk into
9
theirs.
10
MEMBER BEYER:
11
12
That's all.
Thank you.
Ms. Revesz, your
thoughts, your questions, your comments.
MEMBER REVESZ:
13
First, I'd like to say it's
14
great.
Elgin needs a banquet facility downtown.
15
with the parking, you've had four events before, how many
16
people attended those events?
17
maximum amount in any of those events?
18
MS. HAIGHT:
19
MEMBER REVESZ:
20
MS. HAIGHT:
21
22
But
Did you get up to the
Not yet.
Approximately how many people?
We have a 98 head count right now
until we get our max occupancy.
MEMBER REVESZ:
Okay.
Were there any
23
complaints from anyone on record with the police
24
department or anything about the parking?
PLANET DEPOS
22
1
MS. HAIGHT:
No.
The majority of weddings
2
that may have 150, 200 people are also running shuttles
3
to and from their hotels.
4
A lot of their guests are not driving to the actual event.
5
MEMBER REVESZ:
So that comes into play, too.
Okay.
You mentioned some
6
local vendors that you're working with.
7
contracts with them, some of these guys already?
8
9
MS. HAIGHT:
Do you have
We have a preferred vendor list
that we're working on, and they are on there.
So when we
10
have an event, we let our clients work directly with them,
11
and we put them on a preferred list, meaning that we trust
12
them to treat our space as we would treat our space.
13
MEMBER REVESZ:
14
15
Okay.
Thank you.
Ms. Kruger, your
thoughts, your comments, your questions.
16
MEMBER KRUGER:
Well, first of all, I'm very
17
excited about this venue.
18
daughter is looking at downtown Chicago that I'm saying
19
no because it's too far way.
It's very much like one my
20
MR. SCHUSTER:
We'll give you a business card.
21
MEMBER KRUGER:
22
But this is a great venue to have here.
Thank you.
I've
23
worked with nonprofits, and there are large nonprofit
24
events, and there are smaller ones, so this will
PLANET DEPOS
23
1
benefit -- or they will benefit from this, as well.
2
The only question I have is the prep kitchen.
3
Is that -- does that work for a big event that you have?
4
Have you looked into that?
MS. HAIGHT:
5
It will.
It will.
We've spoken
6
to a couple of our caterers, and, again, they're very
7
used to working that way.
8
Salvage One downtown, which your daughter may be familiar
9
with, only has a prep kitchen, and they have an occupancy
10
An example is Danada House or
of 600 people downtown.
So caterers are very used to working that way,
11
12
and they'll adjust the menu and work with the menu, with
13
their clients and make it work.
MR. SCHUSTER:
14
I think part of that question,
15
is the prep area large enough to accommodate a catering
16
service that will have to feed 300 people?
17
MS. HAIGHT:
Yes, it is.
18
MEMBER KRUGER:
With that, that's the only
19
questions I had other than parking and that's been
20
addressed.
21
22
Well, let's see how the
conversation goes.
23
Thank you at this point, Ms. Haight.
24
MR. SCHUSTER:
May I make one more comment,
PLANET DEPOS
24
1
please?
2
3
MR. SCHUSTER:
Sure.
In the CC2 Center City District
4
there's a -- or in the City's parking regulation it's
5
recognized that areas like this in the downtown would not
6
have on-site parking.
7
correct me if I get any of this wrong -- is that parking
8
within 800 feet will be considered.
9
the City parking deck right next door to this building is
And so the rule in Elgin -- and
And, for example,
10
200 feet away from our front door.
11
quite a bit more territory, including the Civic Centre --
12
the surface lot here on the other side of the building.
13
So 800 feet picks up
So it's recognized that some folks in
14
downtown -- it's a pedestrian area; you may have to walk
15
just a little bit to get to where you're going.
16
location has got the parking deck, the surface deck, and
17
there's another smaller lot right along Douglas Avenue all
18
right there less than 800 feet, as close as 200 feet away.
19
So the parking is -- I think the CC2
But this
20
regulations look for that, and in this case it fits
21
pretty well.
22
23
I have now before me a list of people who have
24
something to say.
Okay.
Thank you.
So why don't you take your seats and
PLANET DEPOS
25
1
be prepared to respond should they have a question for
2
you directly.
3
The first person that signed in is Mr. Turner.
4
Tell us your name, your address, and then your
5
comments, sir.
6
7
8
9
MR. TURNER:
Sure.
My name is Jeff Turner.
My address is 37 North Worth Avenue, Elgin 61123.
I am here on behalf of The Haight, and I fully
support them in everything that they do.
I cannot speak
10
for other businesses in Elgin, but I can for our business.
11
And, incidentally, if you have any questions about the
12
catering side of things, I can probably help answer
13
those, as well, as far as the kitchen.
14
From my business standpoint based on inquiries
15
that I've received, our sales at our small business would
16
jump tenfold is an estimate that I come up with with
17
working with The Haight.
18
least 15 to 20 new staff, which would more than double my
19
current employees in my business right now, which is a
20
great -- huge percentage and a great jump for us.
21
I would also need to hire at
For our community I believe that by drawing
22
outside people to our town, those people will utilize our
23
city services, our bars, our restaurants.
24
types of people to Elgin, the brides and -- potential
Drawing these
PLANET DEPOS
26
1
brides and grooms will also help our bakeries, our flower
2
shops, our restaurants, our bars.
3
businesses will be -- my deli be impacted by drawing
4
these types of people into our town, our community here.
5
A good number of not-for-profits currently go
All of these different
6
outside of Elgin to hold their events.
7
would open up another opportunity for them to possibly
8
choose to have it right here in Elgin, which would be
9
great, just giving them another choice.
10
Having The Haight
An example of that is the upcoming Brides
11
Against Breast Cancer event that's going to be held at
12
the Haight.
13
me if I'm wrong -- but upwards of 4- to 500 brides and
14
their families, you know, coming into our town, into our
15
city and utilizing all that we have to offer and showing
16
what Elgin is all about.
17
They're going to see upwards -- and correct
When I won my Elgin Image award in 2010, I had
18
a vision of Elgin being a collaborative place where
19
business and our city and our citizens work together and
20
show other areas what Elgin has to offer.
21
facility and these partnerships that we're building are
22
going to do just that.
23
24
This type of
We opened almost seven years ago when our
country went into a recession.
We're still here because
PLANET DEPOS
27
1
of the support and our partnerships that we have built
2
and maintained over the past seven years.
3
another example of a great partnership that will benefit
4
personally my business, The Haight, and countless other
5
business in our city of Elgin.
This is

Thank you.

Mr. Ziegler, sir, the podium is yours.
9
MR. ZIEGLER:
10
you, Commissioners.
11
here tonight.
Thank you, Mr. Turner.
Chairman Siljestrom, nice to see
I'm here in support of the Applicant
12
I'm really pretty jazzed about this.
For some
13
of us that have been around for a while, I'm from Ziegler
14
Ace Hardware.
When Danny's Pizza opened up, that was
15
pretty clear.
And then Andy is here with Town & Country
16
Flowers.
17
venue it's really exciting to see.
We've got a flower place, and now with this
18
Of course, the vision of Elgin and the City
19
leaders over all these years continuing to reinvest in
20
downtown, it's starting to happen, and you can see that
21
we're getting to the tipping point on that.
22
suffered through the five years of all the roads tore up
23
and all of that, and that's kind of behind us now, and
24
this is what happens when you have a vision and you
But we all
PLANET DEPOS
28
1
invest in the downtown.
2
to do that.
So from that I'm really excited
3
The other thing I'm pretty jazzed about is
4
this is a local family, and whatever profits that are
5
made in a business like this will continue to be
6
reinvested; they won't go down to Arkansas, or Atlanta,
7
or Charlotte, or something like that; they're going to
8
stay in Elgin.
9
local family is just really cool for the city.
And to be able to support a business, a
The other thing, they did mention about
10
11
parking.
We've got a little parking lot over there at
12
Ziegler's Ace, and a lot of the time that this venue will
13
be happening I'm assuming is Saturday nights and Sunday
14
nights, and we just happen to be closed at that time.
15
we have a little arrangement that we'll be able to work
16
out, and I think they'll probably park over at Ziegler's
17
Ace Hardware.
18
Thank you.
19
20
Next person is Andy -- did I mispronounce
21
22
that?
If I did, I apologize.
MR. ENGELMANN:
So
Thank you, Mr. Ziegler.
It's my new glasses.
Well, you know what, you as
23
the staff of Elgin I feel like are saying there's a
24
problem with parking.
God bless us that we have a
PLANET DEPOS
29
1
problem with parking.
We're going to have so many people
2
downtown, we might need to build another deck.
3
people bring money, and if we have to put some more money
4
back into the city, God bless the city that people are
5
ready to invest their money and you might have to invest
6
a little bit more to give us a little bit more space.
7
My flower shop is all Internet, all phone.
Because
8
other four locations do have walk-ins.
9
my facade that will be coming up soon will maybe bring
My
I'm hoping that
10
more walk-ins for me.
But when I'm open, they're
11
closed -- or when I'm closed, they'll be running full
12
swing.
13
bless Elgin.
So maybe we'll need two more parking decks.
God
14
Thank you, sir.

SUBJECT:
Petition 01-15
Text Amendment to Various Provisions of the Zoning Ordinance
SUMMARY
From time to time, staff becomes or is made aware of minor issues with text of the zoning
ordinance. The purpose of this amendment is to correct those minor problems within one
application before city council.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This section provides an explanation of each of the proposed six minor amendments.
Amendment 1
At more than 20 locations throughout the municipal code, including the zoning ordinance,
the Community Development Department is referred to as the either the City Planning
Department or the planning department. This amendment replaces those out-of-date and
inconsistent references with “the Community Development Department” as established by
Chapter 2.28 of the Elgin Municipal Code.
Amendment 2
The zoning ordinance has no locational considerations for shopping cart corrals or electric
vehicle charging stations. This amendment would make both items permitted yard
obstructions within a street yard, a side yard, or a rear yard.
Amendment 3
The ARC arterial road corridor overlay district prohibits new and used auto dealerships
along the city’s arterial streets when the associated property is less than four acres, and
State Route 19/East Chicago Street is one of the listed city arterial streets. However, the
city has made it a point to congregate new and used auto dealerships to this area,

specifically between Willard Avenue and Shales Parkway, going so far as to allow special
sign considerations for motor vehicle dealers on lots of four acres or more. This
amendment would allow new and used auto dealerships on any sized lot along State Route
19/East Chicago Street between Willard Avenue and Shales Parkway, but it maintains the
current limit for special sign consideration to only those lots of four acres or more.
Amendment 4
The zoning ordinance provides relief from the off-street parking requirement for uses
within the center city zoning districts; however no relief from the off-street loading
requirements is afforded any uses anywhere within the city. The minimum size of a
required loading berth is 10-feet wide by 25-feet long with a 14-foot vertical clearance.
This amendment would eliminate the requirement that a use within the CC1 or CC2 center
city zoning district provide a loading berth. Note that this amendment does not mean that a
use within the downtown cannot have a loading berth; rather it simply makes the provision
of such a facility elective rather than mandatory.
Amendment 5
The zoning ordinance provides no finality for applications for zoning relief that have had a
zoning public hearing but are not acted upon by city council. This amendment establishes
that an application for map or text amendment, planned development, conditional use,
variation, or appeal is denied if the application is not approved within 12 months of the
close of the public hearing.
Next, this amendment eliminates the requirement that applicants provide as many as 12
copies of an application for planned development or conditional use. As staff and the
Planning & Zoning Commission have embraced the electronic submittal and distribution of
applications and their associated documents, a requirement to submit 12 printed copies of
an application is wasteful.
Next, this amendment eliminates the requirement that an application for planned
development have a formal concept review. Note that this amendment does not mean that a
concept review cannot take place; rather it simply makes the consultation with staff
elective rather than mandatory.
Finally, this amendment eliminates the suggestion that planned developments should have
limits to certain site design regulations when other sections within the planned
development chapter already suggest that the site design regulations shall be those
regulations provided in the most-similar zoning district which is not a planned
development. Regardless, still other sections within the planned development chapter give
city council the authority to depart from the standards, regulations, requirements, and
procedures of any other provision of the zoning ordinance.

Amendment 6
The supplementary regulations for a “residential occupation, conditional” erroneously
states that such uses are subject to the provisions of chapter 19.60, when chapter 19.60
regulates planned developments. The correct reference should be chapter 19.65, which
regulates conditional uses.
RECOMMENDATION
At its February 2, 2015 meeting, the Planning & Zoning Commission concurred with staff
and recommended approval of Petition 01-15. On a motion to recommend approval and to
adopt specific findings, the vote was five (5) yes and zero (0) no. The written findings and
recommendation of the Commission and staff are attached under separate cover as required
by the zoning ordinance.

DETAIL AND BACKGROUND
From time to time, staff becomes or is made aware of minor issues with text of the zoning

The following provides an explanation of each of the proposed six minor amendments:

such uses are subject to the provisions of chapter 19.60, when chapter 19.60 regulates planned
developments. The correct reference should be chapter 19.65, which regulates conditional uses.
Finally, note that, while it was included within the published legal notice, after additional
consideration, it was determined that an amendment to Section 19.90.015, regarding the
definition and supplementary regulations for “dwelling, upper floor apartment,” is not required.
FINDINGS OF FACT
After due notice as required by law, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing
and considered Petition 01-15 on February 2, 2015. The city submitted a Statement of Purpose
and Conformance and Text Amendment Review dated February 2, 2015.
The Community Development Department and the Planning & Zoning Commission find that
these proposed revisions comply with the following purposes and intents of the Zoning
Ordinance (§ 19.05.300):
 Promote the public health, safety, comfort, morals, convenience, and general welfare;
 Conserve the taxable value of land and structures throughout the City;
 Establish standards to which building or structures therein shall conform; and

in the zoning ordinance.
