Mike Hoffman, AICP, Vice President, Teska Associates, Inc. Date: June 3, 2021 RE: Lockport Zoning Update – Public Hearing Draft A Draft of the Lockport Zoning Update for consideration at the June 8th Public Hearing is attached. This draft also includes regulations for signs, landscaping and site plan review, which are related to development but located in other parts of the City Code. The overall update focuses on the following: • Reorganizing to a more conventional and easier to use order of regulations. • Editing to make the document more user friendly, reduce jargon, and increase understandability for the typical user. • Adding new code sections to reflect best practices in zoning administration. • Adding graphics to clarify code intent for regulations and procedures. Each of these has been aimed at creating a more modern code that is easier to use and more directly corresponds to current zoning, development and zoning enforcement issues in the City. Our thanks to the City staff and Zoning Working group for their time, insights, deliberations and commitment to the drafting process. This memo highlights the more substantive changes made to the Code, presented by Section. Section 156.001 - Section 156.004: Enactment. The main purpose of this Section is to provide definitions of zoning terms used in the Code. Definitions are important to code interpretation and enforcement, as well as determining the type of land uses that are permitted in the City. The most significant findings and refinements to this Section were: 1. Definitions have been included for most land uses in the land use table to support determinations of whether a proposed use is permitted, requires a special use, or is prohibited.

  • Section 2: Open Space & Trails
    Open Space & Trails Section 2: Open Space & Trails Landscape Lockport’s original landscape features -- rivers, streams, creeks, limestone outcroppings, prairies, wooded groves, marshes, and fens -- have all contributed to the shape of the City. Today, these features play an important role in creating the character of Lockport. Refer to page 11 for open space and trail systems within and around the downtown study area. Lockport is a valley town set above and to the east of the Des Plaines River. The heights were formed by glaciers that left behind moraines deposited in an east-west direction and composed of boulders, sand, and gravel. When the ancient lake that these moraines held back was breached, the torrential out-fl ow created the river valley. The amount and quality of open space in Lockport make it one of the City’s greatest physical assets. Open space within the project area consists of the I&M Canal National Heritage Corridor, the Milne Creek Corridor, West Side Park, the Deep Run Creek Corridor, and the east bank of the Sanitary & Ship Canal. Lockport’s natural resources are plentiful and relatively underdeveloped. They present a number of opportunities to enhance or expand upon these resources. I & M Canal National Heritage Corridor August 2008 Lockport Downtown Master Plan 23 Open Space & Trails I & M Canal National Heritage Corridor The Illinois & Michigan Canal, set here in the Des Plaines River Valley, is a major asset to the character and cultural history of Lockport. Building of the I & M Canal began in 1836 and was completed in 1848.
