 WHEREAS, owning your home is the American Dream. There is a special power in
a neighborhood where most families own their own homes; and

 WHEREAS, a new homeowner receives a key that does more than unlock a door: it
represents a place where children can grow, learn, and feel safe. It is an opportunity to save
money and build equity for the future; and a sense of stability and belonging to the
community; and

 WHEREAS, thanks to the prosperity this nation has enjoyed over the past decade,
more Americans are homeowners today than at any other time in our history. The Mayor of
the Village of Skokie and the Board of Trustees are committed to helping more citizens –
especially those who have been unable to afford a home, know the joy, the financial security,
and the sense of community that comes with owning their own homes; and

 WHEREAS, The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is providing
families with the tools and information they can use to overcome the barriers that deny
homeownership to far too many Americans. The department is working in partnership with
state and local governments, community groups, and the private sector, to make the most
effective use of federal funds. Through a combination of housing counseling, down payment
assistance and tax incentives, we have helped more Americans than ever to buy homes.

 NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE VAN DUSEN, Mayor of the Village of
Skokie, do hereby proclaim the month of June 2014 as


 “NATIONAL HOMEOWNERSHIP MONTH”


and that homeownership is good for the homebuyer, the Village of Skokie and our country. It
is the American Dream and we have rededicated ourselves to that dream and to every
American who seeks to achieve it.

Passed this 19th day of May 2014

 WHEREAS, during these extraordinary times, America looks forward to
new challenges and opportunities with a reinvigorated sense of unity and
common purpose; and

 WHEREAS, we are a diverse people because of our race, gender, religion,
culture, and family background; and

 WHEREAS, our diversity creates an opportunity for us to examine and
appreciate the similarities and differences of those around us; and

 WHEREAS, as parents, citizens, and community leaders, we must teach
our children to appreciate diversity in the human population and must take the
initiative to banish those actions that encourage hate, such as name-calling,
stereotyping, and bullying, and/or discrimination against those of a different race,
religion, age, ethnicity, sexual persuasion, or nationality.

 NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE VAN DUSEN, Mayor of the Village of
Skokie, do hereby proclaim the month of June 2014 as


 “UNITY APPRECIATION MONTH”

in the Village of Skokie and encourage all citizens to celebrate our diverse
heritage and culture and continue efforts to create a world that is more just and
peaceful, and to create togetherness in our society out of mutual respect for one
another.

 Passed this 19th day of May 2014

 commonly known as 7540 McCormick Boulevard, Skokie, Illinois.

 2. At or near the time of execution of this Agreement, the VILLAGE granted an

 and maintain landscaping in accordance with the plan dated April 17, 2014 or as it
 may be subsequently revised with the approval of the Village Manager, or designee,
 and the Corporation Counsel.

 4. The parties to this Agreement recognize that the installation and maintenance of
 landscaping is an integral part of the PROPERTY OWNER's plan for development

 VILLAGE's land use objectives, and that the permit would not have been approved

 5. The purpose of this Agreement is to assure:

 (a) installation of the landscaping in accordance with the landscaping plan
 approved by the VILLAGE, and
 (b) continued maintenance and care of the landscaping, including any
 landscaping indicated in the parkway area.

 6. The property, which is the subject matter of this Agreement, is legally described
 above. The portions of the Subject Property which are to be landscaped and
 maintained pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement are indicated on
 the Landscape Plan attached hereto, marked Exhibit “1” and are hereby made a part
 of this Agreement.

 7. PROPERTY OWNER agrees that the installation and maintenance of the
 landscaping which is required in accordance with the permit issued by the VILLAGE

 necessary in order for the PROPERTY OWNER to comply with the conditions of the
 permit issued or granted by the VILLAGE for the PROPERTY OWNER’s requested

 8. PROPERTY OWNER shall diligently maintain and care for the landscaping which is

 conditions of this Agreement.

 9. Failure to maintain the landscaping as required by this Agreement shall be a
 nuisance. In the event the PROPERTY OWNER fails to meet the standard of
 maintenance necessary to keep the landscaping in a healthy condition as required
 by this Agreement, the VILLAGE shall give written notice of the deficiency to the
 PROPERTY OWNER who shall have 20 days to make the necessary correction or
 replacement. If such correction or replacement is not made within the aforesaid 20-
 day period, the VILLAGE may elect to abate the nuisance and take necessary action
 to assure that the landscaping is replaced and/or maintained. In the event, the
 VILLAGE so elects; the VILLAGE shall serve notice of its intent to enter the
 premises for this purpose. The VILLAGE shall either personally serve the notice
 upon the PROPERTY OWNER or mail a copy of it by certified mail to the
 PROPERTY OWNER's last known address, or as shown on the tax rolls, at least 15
 days in advance of the date when the VILLAGE or its agent intends to enter the
 premises.

 10. For this purpose, the VILLAGE or its agent may enter upon the property and perform
 such work as it considers reasonably necessary and proper to restore, maintain, or
 replace the landscaping required by this Agreement. The VILLAGE may act either
 through its own employees or through an independent contractor.

 11. The VILLAGE shall be entitled to reimbursement for abating the nuisance in
 restoring, maintaining or replacing the landscaping, provided that the VILLAGE

7P__SUP__Self_Service_Storage_Facility__7540_McCormick__Extra_Space_Storage.doc
 follows the procedures set forth in this Agreement. Costs shall include but shall not
 be limited to actual costs incurred by the VILLAGE and administrative costs. The
 VILLAGE shall make demand upon the PROPERTY OWNER for payment. If the
 PROPERTY OWNER fails to pay the costs within 30 days of the date on which
 demand is made, the VILLAGE may cause a lien to be placed on the Subject
 Property. The VILLAGE may record a notice with the Recorder of Deeds for Cook
 County stating that it has incurred expenses under the terms this Landscape
 Agreement. The VILLAGE shall be entitled to collect interest at the statutory rate on
 the amount owed.

 12. In addition to having a lien placed on the Subject Property, the VILLAGE may
 institute a legal action to collect the amount owed. The PROPERTY OWNER agrees
 to pay the VILLAGE a reasonable sum for attorney's fees and court costs.

 13. If either party upon the execution of this Agreement or during the course of
 performance considers that it is necessary to have the PROPERTY OWNER post
 additional security to guarantee the performance of his obligations hereunder, the
 VILLAGE may require the PROPERTY OWNER to post additional security. The
 VILLAGE may require either a cash deposit or a surety bond guaranteeing
 performance in a form signed by sureties satisfactory to the VILLAGE. The

 obligation under this Agreement, the VILLAGE may, act on behalf of the
 PROPERTY OWNER and use the proceeds of the cash bond, or in the case of a
 surety bond, require the securities to perform the obligations of this Agreement.

 VILLAGE, its trustees, officials, employees and agents for any costs, claims, actions
 or causes of action for personal injury, property damage or otherwise, including

 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 70, ARTICLE V, DIVISIONS
 2 AND 3, AND CHAPTER 46, ARTICLE III, OF THE SKOKIE VILLAGE
 CODE PERTAINING TO FIREARMS REGULATIONS AND FEES

1 WHEREAS, Chapter 70, Article V, Division 2, of the Skokie Village Code provides for
2 rules and regulation pertaining to firearms; and

3 WHEREAS, Chapter 46, Article III, of the Skokie Village Code provides for fees for
4 business and occupation licenses; and

5 WHEREAS, while most laws concerning the licensing, possession and registration of
6 firearms are the exclusive domain of the State, municipalities retain limited powers regarding
7 the regulation of the sale and use of firearms; and

8 WHEREAS, the Village of Skokie (hereinafter “Village”) is always concerned for the
9 safety and welfare of its residents and is cognizant of recent court rulings concerning Second
10 Amendment rights and new legislative action in the State of Illinois; and

11 WHEREAS, given that residents now have the right to carry a concealed weapon at all
12 times and that there is a proliferation of firearms sales within the State of Illinois, it is in the
13 best interest of both those residents and the Village as a whole to make available and
14 encourage adequate training in the use of such weapons; and

15 WHEREAS, as there is a logical nexus between the purchase of firearms and the
16 opportunity to experience the firing of a firearm before such a purchase and the training on
17 the skills associated with the use of a firearm after such a purchase, the Village seeks to
18 establish that the sale of firearms only occur within a facility that has a firearms range; and

19 WHEREAS, the Corporation Counsel requested certain text amendments concerning
20 zoning regulations for firearms sales and firearms ranges as part of Plan Commission Case
21 2014-4P and further recommended to the Mayor and Board of Trustees that Chapter 70,
22 Article V, Divisions 2 and 3, of the Skokie Village Code be amended accordingly; and

23 WHEREAS, the Mayor and Board of Trustees at a public meeting duly held on May
24 19, 2014, concurred in the aforesaid recommendation of the Corporation Counsel; and

Community Development Department Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, May 19, 2014


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman, Skokie Plan Commission
Case: 2014-4P: Zoning Chapter Amendment
 Firearms sellers and firearms ranges

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its April 3, 2014, meeting, the Plan Commission reviewed the Village’s request to
amend the Zoning chapter of the Village Code to add definitions for firearms sellers and
firearms ranges, make firearms ranges a special use in the M3 Industry, set its parking
requirement to be determined by the Plan Commission, and other necessary changes to
the Zoning chapter related to these uses. The proposed amendment will allow firearms
sales only at firearms ranges.
Staff has received numerous inquiries to establish a firearms range in the Village.
Staff reviewed regulations from other municipalities, the Comprehensive Plan, and
current Code provisions and recommended definitions as well as locations for the
proposed uses. Additional amendments to the Village Code to modify the Village’s gun
regulations, establish business licenses, and incorporate the comments of the Police
Department will need to be made that are beyond the jurisdiction of the Plan
Commission.
Discussion from the Commissioners included necessary safety and instruction; noise in
general and also specifically near churches, parks, and schools; eliminating the
possibility of guns being sold at department stores or sporting goods stores; concerns
about access to Skokie from Chicago; and the need to provide gun training and safety
skills for gun owners. It was also asked if Skokie was required to accommodate this
use.
Staff also recommended other technical amendments to standardize the portions of the
Zoning chapter that organize the regulation of the broader category of arts,
entertainment, and recreational uses such as vehicle and bicycle parking. These
technical amendments do not fundamentally change the intent of the existing
regulations.
The Plan Commission concurred in whole with the attached Staff Report, which more
adequately describes the technical rationale for this case.

Case Description

2014-4P –Zoning Chapter Amendment: Firearms Sellers and Firearms Ranges
The Village of Skokie requests an amendment to the Zoning chapter of the Village Code to add
definitions for firearms sellers and firearms ranges, make firearms ranges a special use in at least
one industrial district, and any other necessary changes to the zoning chapter needed related to
these uses.

Discussion and Interested Parties

Legal Notice was advertised as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter.

Steve Marciani, Planning Supervisor, requested that the staff report be submitted into the record
as written. He presented a summary of the case.

As a result of the passage of the Firearm Concealed Carry Act, a review of regulations by the
Legal Department, the Comprehensive Plan, the Zoning Review Committee along with input
from other departments, a series of amendments to the Zoning chapter were recommended to
define firearms ranges and firearms sellers as well as locations for use.

Staff suggests allowing firearms sellers only in conjunction with a firearms range as a special use
solely in the M3 Industrial district because it is the only district not adjacent to or containing
residential homes. He also noted that the uses must wholly be indoors.

A commissioner asked why this matter is being brought up. Staff replied that there have been
many inquiries recently. There is no listing of the use currently in the Zoning chapter which gets
updated periodically. A commissioner agreed that if it is allowed, regulations regarding safety
and instruction are necessary.

Another commissioner inserted that the amendment would prevent confusion with gun ranges
locating in commercial areas.

Another commissioner commented that the parking seems inadequate. Ranges tend to be very
crowded. Staff answered that the Plan Commission would determine the parking ratio.

A commissioner wanted clarification that by “exempting” firearms seller from retail sales, the
Village is taking away the possibility of guns being sold at department stores or sporting goods
stores. He also was concerned with the proximity of ranges to churches, parks and schools; not
for the crime factor but for noise and congestion. Staff stated it would be controlled under the
Nuisance Ordinance.

4P__Zoning_chapter_amendment_for_firearms_sellers_and_firearms_ranges

Another commissioner commented that the Bass Pro shop in Gurnee sets caliber limits at the
soundproof range within the store. Another commissioner added that the range at Mt. Prospect
Road & Oakton is located in an old factory and the noise level is minimal; only a popping noise
is heard outside. He also mentioned that GAT Guns in East Dundee has an indoor range in an
old restaurant. Another commissioner recalled the lack of noise at the state of the art range at the
Police Station when they gave tours of the facility.

 A commissioner asked what other communities are doing; especially the ones bordering
Chicago. He was concerned that Skokie would be the closest range to Chicago and that would
be like an open invitation. He mentioned that Lincolnwood does not want to be the first town to
welcome gun sales. A commissioner stated that it is not allowed in Lincolnwood because of the
proximity to the schools and parking issues. There is a private range in Morton Grove. The
chairman offered that there is a gun range in Elmwood Park on Harlem Avenue close to the city.
Another commissioner stated that it is unknown what Chicago will do. People who want to buy
firearms will find the places to go. Staff stated that the Legal Department did the research on
this case and their focus was on firearms ranges within Illinois. Three or four different
communities seem to generally control firearms by means of special use permits or conditional
use permits. There are separate ordinances for gun sales. Des Plaines gives the Police Chief the
authority to review sales and require security checks.

Another commissioner had a different interpretation of this ordinance. He thought the Village
was being pro-active and prudent to restrict the use to the smallest possible area rather than to
open it up like the Wild West.

Another commissioner stated that he lives near Main Street and can hear the skeet shooting from
Evanston Golf Club which is located in the center of town. It was pointed out that it is an outdoor
range for recreational use and has grandfather rights.

Another commissioner questioned whether Skokie is required to have firearms ranges at all. He
was surprised that Skokie would want to be involved with it. He asked if there was any
consideration of the general public on this issue. He thought the majority would be against
having gun ranges. He asked, with a show of hands, how many commissioners owned firearms.
There were 4 commissioners who announced that they own firearms.

Recommendation and Voting

The Plan Commission made a motion to approve the case as presented. The vote was 8 ayes and
1 nay.

STAFF REPORT 2014-4P: Zoning Chapter Amendment
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, April 3, 2014




To: Paul Luke, Chairman, Skokie Plan Commission
From: Steve Marciani, Planning Supervisor
Case: 2014-4P: Zoning Chapter Amendment
 Firearms sellers and firearms ranges


 General Information
 Petitioner Village of Skokie
 Purpose To amend the Zoning chapter of the Village Code to add
 definitions for firearms sellers and firearms ranges, make
 firearms ranges a special use in at least one industrial district,
 and any other necessary changes to the zoning chapter
 needed related to these uses.

STAFF ANALYSIS
The Village of Skokie is requesting to amend the Zoning chapter of the Village Code to
add definitions for firearms sellers and firearms ranges, make firearms ranges a special
use in at least one industrial district, and any other necessary changes to the zoning
chapter needed related to these uses. The Village has received numerous inquiries to
establish a firing range in the Village.
After careful review of the regulations in other communities, the Comprehensive Plan,
and consultation with the Legal Department and Zoning Review Committee, Staff is
recommending a series of amendments that will provide locations for persons to safely
learn to use and discharge a firearm. Our recommendation defines both firearms ranges
and firearms sellers. Firearms sellers would be allowed to operate only in conjunction
with a firearms range. A firearms range would be a special use in the M3 Industry
district. M3 is the only district that in almost every circumstance does not contain
residential uses and is not immediately adjacent to zones that may contain residences.
It is also the district most likely to contain uses that produce noise. It should be noted
that the Zoning chapter already requires that uses must be wholly indoors, with the
exception of very explicit circumstances, and there should be little noise from this use.
Any outdoor firing range is not an allowable use. Parking would be determined by the
Plan Commission.
A survey of other communities revealed that when allowed, firearms ranges are
primarily indoor activities with a conditional or special use permit in industrial districts.
These uses were allowed in both free-standing and multitenant buildings.

Other regulations regarding firearms are in Chapter 70, Article V, Division II of the
Skokie Village Code. These sections are attached to this report for your information.
The Legal Department is aware that certain modifications are needed due to recent
changes in State law. These updates will be brought to the Village Board with or near
the time this case is heard.
The Police Department is also making certain recommendations regarding noise,
building construction, background checks for operators, hours of operation, Firearm
Owner Identification cards, and safety and security plans. These issues also need to be
addressed in portions of the Village Code other than Zoning. A separate business
license is also being considered for firearms ranges that will include operating
regulations and distance requirements from residential properties, schools, parks,
religious uses, etc.
Since a firearms range is an arts, entertainment, and recreational use, Staff is also
requesting technical amendments to standardize the portions of the Zoning chapter that
organize regulation of arts, entertainment, and recreational uses such as vehicle and
bicycle parking. These changes further the Plan Commission’s goal to continually
review and revise the Zoning chapter of the Village Code in order to implement the
policies of the Comprehensive Plan and make the chapter more user-friendly. These
technical amendments do not fundamentally change the intent of the existing
regulations.


STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Village Code be amended, with text to be added highlighted.
