§ 154.195. OLDE SCHAUMBURG CENTRE (OSC) OVERLAY DISTRICT.
(A)
General Purpose: The purpose of the Olde Schaumburg Centre (OSC) Overlay District is to provide a regulatory framework that will enable the unique, turn of the century character of the area at the crossroads of Schaumburg and Roselle Roads to be preserved and to encourage compatible new development. The village seeks to strengthen the aesthetics and economics of the village centre by enabling the development and/or redevelopment of quality retail, commercial, office and residential uses in a village centre setting. The centre allows for the function of contemporary land uses while emphasizing pedestrian orientation within an intimate streetscape design and deemphasizing automobile related uses. The OSC overlay district is designed to accomplish these purposes by doing the following:
(1)
Regulating building location with a zero or small setback to create an intimate streetscape character and pedestrian-oriented environment;
(2)
Prohibiting parking in front yards, except in limited situations, to create a pedestrian focused rather than automobile focused environment and to create a stronger architectural statement by keeping buildings close to the roads; and
(3)
Prohibiting drive-through facilities and automobile related uses to encourage a pedestrian focused rather than automobile focused environment.
(B)
Designation of Olde Schaumburg Centre Overlay District: The Olde Schaumburg Centre Overlay District shall apply to the area of land at the crossroads of Schaumburg and Roselle Roads and shall be shown as an overlay to the underlying zoning districts on the official zoning map of the Village of Schaumburg, as amended.
(C)
Application of District: The provisions in this OSC overlay district shall serve as a supplement to the underlying zoning district regulations. Except where specifically altered in this OSC overlay district, the uses, minimum lot size, minimum lot width, yard requirements, lot coverage, floor area ratio, and maximum height shall be determined by the regulations applicable to the underlying district to which the OSC overlay district is superimposed. Where a conflict exists between the provisions of this section and those of any underlying zoning districts, the OSC overlay district provisions shall apply.
(D)
Site Plan Review: To ensure compliance with the applicable provisions of this chapter, any exterior construction, change in use, or increase in the intensity of an existing use, including variations and special uses, but excluding normal maintenance activity, in the OSC overlay district shall require site plan review by the Olde Schaumburg Centre Commission and approval by the village board of trustees prior to the issuance of a building permit. This process shall ensure that all development proposals are in full compliance with all applicable village codes, ordinances, standards and policies. Development proposals which are located within existing buildings or result in the redevelopment of existing properties shall comply with those village requirements and policies determined appropriate by the village board.
(E)
Olde Schaumburg Centre Commission: The Olde Schaumburg Centre Commission's review responsibilities for development proposals in the OSC overlay district are set forth in section 154.37, "Olde Schaumburg Centre Commission", of this chapter, and in section 31.033 of this Code.
