The commission discussed proposed amendments to the Planned Development Overlay (PDO) administration for the Main Street corridor (Section 122.831). Amy Bennett explained the edits are intended to align the PDO administrative and exception processes with recent changes to the zoning code and to remove confusing or outdated language that remained in the section.
Notable substantive edits the commission asked staff to forward to the Village Board were:
- Replace references to "director of community development" with "zoning administrator" where appropriate. - Where the existing PDO referenced the Community Development Authority (CDA) as the decision body for exceptions, change references to the Planning Commission for consistency with other code sections; commissioners noted CDA will still be involved in redevelopment and funding discussions but recommended the Planning Commission retain the primary review role for PDO exceptions. - Remove a clause in the exception language that would have allowed an administrative exception to change a required use (the commission directed that the clause permitting a required‑use change via an exception be deleted and asked staff to reword the exception sub‑section for clarity).
The commission asked staff to work with the village attorney and zoning consultant to polish the exception wording before the ordinance goes to the Village Board. After the edits were summarized, the commission voted to forward the ordinance with the requested changes and with staff authority to refine the technical wording prior to the board packet.
