MEMORANDUM
TO:

Mrs. Baker, President of Council

FROM:

Patrick E. J. Titterington, Director of Public Service and Safety

DATE:

January 23, 2015

SUBJECT:

AUTHORIZING AGREEMENT WITH CROSSROADS CONSULTING SERVICES

FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR SECOND SHEET OF ICE FOR HOBART ARENA

FOR

RECOMMENDATION:
That the Recreation Board be authorized to enter into a professional services agreement with Crossroads
Consulting Services of Tampa, Florida to perform a Feasibility Study related to a second sheet of ice at the Hobart
Arena at a cost not to exceed $50,000.
BACKGROUND:
The July 28, 2014, report of the Committee of the Whole regarding the Riverfront Development Project, included
the recommendation of:
"While not a matter of legislation, based on the interest in the stand-alone second sheet of ice option,
several members of Council asked that the 2015 budget include funds related to a feasibility study and a
study of the economic impact such a facility could bring to the Troy community, as well as exploring funding
partnerships."
$50,000 was included in the 2015 Hobart Arena Budget for that feasibility study. The Recreation Director has
recommended that the firm of Crossroads Consulting Services of Tampa, Florida be authorized to perform the
feasibility study. This is the firm that Council authorized to perform the Hobart Arena Study at the end of 2013 and,
as a part of the study, already has some information relating to a second sheet of ice. At the January 21 meeting of
the Recreation Board, the Board supported the recommendation of the Recreation Director and approved a motion
that the Recreation Board recommends that Troy City Council authorize the Board to enter into a professional
services agreement with Crossroads Consulting Services to perform a feasibility study related to a second sheet of
ice at a cost not to exceed $50,000. The scope of services will include a market demand analysis, profile an
inventory of ice rinks in the region, survey user groups and develop an estimate of usage, assess operating
impact, develop a financial pro forma and cost benefit analysis, and develop a conceptual design and cost analysis.
The feasibility study does not provide a final design or cost estimates based on that design. The estimated time
frame to perform the feasibility study is about four months.
REQUESTED ACTION:
It would be appreciated if you would assign to a Committee of Council considering legislation authorizing the
Recreation Board to enter into an agreement with Crossroads Consulting Services to perform the feasibility study
for a second sheet of ice at Hobart Arena at a cost not to exceed $50,000.

MEMORANDUM

TO:

Mrs. Baker, President, Troy City Council

FROM:

Sue Knight, for the Troy Planning Commission

DATE:

December 11, 2014

SUBJECT:

REPORT OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON A REZONING APPLICATION- 600 WEST MAIN

STREET (40 PARCELS TOTAL) FROM TO M-2, LIGHT-INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT, TO OC-1, OFFICECOMMERCIAL DISTRICT; THE AREA PROPOSED TO BE REZONED CONSISTS OF TEN PARCELS
LOCATED ALONG NORTH ELM STREET (BETWEEN WASHINGTON STREET AND WEST WATER
STREET), FIVE PARCELS LOCATED ALONG THE INTERSECTION OF WEST WATER STREET AND
ADAMS STREET, AND 25 PARCELS THAT ENCOMPASS THE 600 WEST MAIN STREET LOCATION.

On December 10, 2014, the Troy Planning Commission considered the rezoning of 40 parcels that make up the
former ITW/Hobart Brothers site, with the general address of 600 West Main Street, from the zoning of M-2, Light
Industrial District, to the zoning of OC-1, Office-Commercial District. The owner of the property is the Hobart
Brothers Company; the City of Troy is the applicant.
Ten parcels are located along North Elm Street (between Washington Street and West Water Street), five parcels
are located along the intersection of West Water Street and Adams Street, and 25 parcels encompass the 600
West Main Street location.
The Commission had received a report of City staff, which was reviewed as part of the meeting discussion.
copy of the packet provided to the Commission is attached.

It was commented at the meeting that the City reached out to the property owner for a rezoning of the area that
will complement the commercial district and respect the nearby residential uses. Staff reviewed with the
Commission that the proposed OC-lOffice-Commercial District zoning will fit best into this mixed use area, as OC1 zoning is designed to accommodate a mixture of office and commercial uses consisting of groupings of
professional type uses, and the district is designed and intended to act as a buffer and is intended to be mapped
along major thoroughfares as a transitional area between nonresidential and residential uses. The OC-1 zoning
does not permit residential development in this district; however, it does allow residential uses on the second
story or above. Further, the OC-1 district limits commercial uses that are envisioned to prevent disruption to the
surrounding existing residential neighborhoods and the OC-1 zoning will protect the surrounding residences from
the more intensive uses that are currently allowed in the M-2 zoning district. The Comprehensive Plan's Future
Land Use (Figure 14-2) shows this area as it currently is (industrial) and the surrounding land uses to remain the
same, as a mix of commercial, government, residential and recreational uses. Retaining the industrial zoning does
not fit well with the adjoining mix of uses. Staff advised the Commission of the staff opinion that adjoining
properties will benefit from the positive impact of the proposed OC-1 zoning as it permits the greatest flexibility
to the reuse of the property while complementing the existing commercial uses and protecting the surrounding
residential zoning districts. The owner concurs with the rezoning to OC-1.

MEMO
PAGE TWO

The Planning Commission determined not to hold a public hearing on this rezoning application.
By unanimous vote, the Troy Planning Commission recommends to Troy City Council that the rezoning request
identified as 600 West Main Street (40 parcels total) from to M-2, Light-Industrial District, to OC-1, OfficeCommercial District, be approved, based on the findings of staff that:

o
o

The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Zoning Code's intent to separate incompatible land uses;
The proposed rezoning will C<?mplement the existing commercial zoning districts and provide flexibility for
future development; and
The OC-1 zoning district will act as a buffer from the surrounding commercial zoning district to the
surrounding residentially zoned neighborhoods.

This request is forwarded herewith to Council for consideration.

The Public Hearing before Council has been set for the January 20, 2015 meeting of Council.
The following information will be attached as part of this report:

Encl.

Information provided by City staff, which included the report of staff, which includes a listing of the
principal permitted uses for both the M-2 and OC-1 Zoning Districts, a listing of the OC-1 uses not
permitted under M-2, and a listing of the M-2 uses not permitted under OC-1 zoning.
A listing of the 40 parcels.

SUBJECT: Rezoning: 600 West Main Street & Surrounding Properties .

OWNER: Hobart Brothers Company
APPLICANT: City of Troy
BACKGROUND:

The City of Troy has applied, on behalf of Hobart Brothers Company, for Planning
Commission to consider the rezoning of 40 parcels from the M-2 Light-Industrial District
to the OC-1 Office-Commercial District. A list of the parcels, as well as, a map
highlighting the parcels of the proposed rezoning has been attached to this report.
The area of the rezoning is broken into 10 parcels located along North Elm Street
(between Washington Street and West Water Street), five parcels along the intersection
of West Water Street and Adams Street, and 25 parcels that encompass the 600 West
Main Street location.
The surrounding zoning districts include B-2 General Business District to the south, a
mixture of B-2 General Business District and R-7 Multi-Family to the east, R-6 TwoFamily Residential to the west, and M-2 Light-Industrial to the north.
DISCUSSION:

The razing of the old Hobart Brothers building has left an opportunity for redevelopment
in the heart of our community. This area was once dominated by industrial uses but has
since grown into a mixture of commercial and residential uses. The City has reached out
to the property owner for a rezoning of the area that will complement the commercial
district and respect the nearby residential uses. A rezoning from the M-2 Light-Industrial
district to the OC-1 Office-Commercial district will fit harmoniously into this mixed use
area.
The Zoning Code describes the OC-1 Office-Commercial district as "designed to
accommodate a mixture of office and commercial uses consisting of groupings of
professional, research, executive, administrative, accounting, clerical, stenographic and
similar uses." This district is designed and intended to act as a buffer and is intended to
be mapped along major thoroughfares as a transitional area between nonresidential and
residential uses. The OC-1 district does not permit residential development in this
district; however, it does allow residential uses on the second story or above.
The OC-1 district limits commercial uses that are envisioned to prevent disruption to the
surrounding existing residential neighborhoods and the rezoning will protect the
surrounding residences from the more intensive uses that are currently allowed in theM2 zoning district. Attached to this report are the permitted uses as described by the OC-1
zoning district and the M-2 zoning district

The Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use (Figure 14-2) shows this area as it currently
is (industrial) and the surrounding land uses to remain the same, as a mix of commercial,
government, residential and recreational uses. The industrial use does not fit well with
the adjoining mix of uses.
It is staffs opinion that adjoining properties will benefit from the positive impact of the

proposed rezoning. The proposed OC-1 district permits the greatest flexibility to the
reuse of the property while complementing the existing commercial uses and protecting
the surrounding residential zoning districts.

In reviewing a rezoning proposal, Section 1139.07 outlines the criteria on which to

base decisions:
(A) Whether the change in classification would be consistent with the intent and purpose
of this Zoning Code.

The proposed rezoning is consistent with Zoning Code. As described in the Zoning
Code, the purpose of the OC-1 District is to accommodate a mixture of office and
commercial uses and is designed and intended to act as a buffet. The OC-1 district is
intended to be mapped between nonresidential and residential uses.
(B) Whether the proposed amendment is made necessary because of changed or changing
conditions in the area affected, and, if so, the nature ofsuch changed or changing
conditions.

The proposed amendment is a result of the razing of the former Hobart Brother's building
which was used to house an industrial use. This provides an opportunity for
redevelopment in the downtown area to can promote commercial use but also respect the
surrounding residential neighborhoods.
(C) Whether the uses that would be permitted on the property if it were reclassified
would be compatible with the uses permitted on other property in the immediate vicinity.

Commercial uses would be permitted on this property and is permitted on surrounding

commercial properties already in existence. The intent is to eliminate the intrusive
industrial uses and create a buffer for the adjoining commercial & residential zoning
districts.
(D) Whether adequate utility, sewer, and water facilities, and all other needed public
services exist or can be provided to serve the uses that would be permitted on a property
if it were reclassified.

All utilities are provided.

(E) The amount ofvacant land that currently has the same zoning classification as is
proposed for the subject property, particularly in the vicinity of the subject property, and
any special circumstances, in any, that make a substantial part ofsuch vacant land
unavailable for development.
In the vicinity of the subject property, there is no available vacant land with the OC-1

zoning classification.
(F) Whether the proposed amendment would correct an error in the application of this
Zoning Code as applied to the subject property.

Not applicable in this request.

PUBLIC HEARING:

Due to the straight forward nature of the rezoning request and the fact that City Council is
required to hold a public hearing if the request proceeds on, staff does not feel that a
public hearing before the Planning Commission is warranted.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the

rezoning from the M-2 Light-Industrial Zoning district to the OC-1 Office-Commercial
district, based on the following:
o The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Zoning Code's intent to separate
incompatible land uses; and
o The proposed rezoning will complement the existing commercial zoning districts
and provide flexibility for future development; and
o The OC-1 zoning district will act as a buffer from the surrounding commercial
zoning district to the surrounding residentially zoned neighborhoods.

Mr. Rodney L. Jones

Director of Real Estate and Controller
lllinois Tool Works, Inc.
3600 West Lake Avenue
Glenview, IL 60026-1215
Dear Mr. Jones:
To follow up with our conversation last week, the City of Troy is interested in initiating the rezoning of the
parcels that collectively make up the site of the former Dlinois Tool Works (ITW)/Hobart Brothers
manufacturing facility at 600 West Main Street. Those 31 parcels (a map of which is attached hereto) are
currently zoned M-2 Light Industrial District, which as you know is not compatible with the surrowuiing
properties and uses. The City desires to rezone those parcels to OC-1 Office Commercial District, which
would allow compatible uses, as evidenced by the list of Principal Permitted Uses that is also attached.
I am requesting your signature below to demonstrate that ITW does not object to the City rezoning those
parcels. Please note that the rezoning process will be completed by the City of Troy at no cost to ITW.
Sincerely,

Patrick E. J. Titterington
Director of Public Service and Safety

Illinois Tool Works does not object to the City of Troy, Ohio initiating, at its
sole cost, the rezoning ofthe properties identified on the attached map.

THE

INTERSECTION OF WEST WATER STREET AND ADAMS STREET, AND 25 PARCELS THAT ENCOMPASS
THE 600 WEST MAIN STREET LOCATION; OWNER IS HOBART BROTHERS COMPANY; APPLICANT IS
CITY OF TROY. Mr. Davis commented that the City of Troy on behalf of Hobart Brothers Company has requested
the rezoning of 40 parcels from the M-2 Light-Industrial District to the OC-1 Office-Commercial District; the report of
staff (attached to original minutes) includes a list of the parcels (nine of which do not have parcels number due to a
prior replat and being built over), a map highlighting the parcels of the proposed rezoning; and information related to
the allowed uses under both zoning categories. It is noted that this includes the location of the recently demolished
Hobart Brothers/ITW factory complex that carried the address of 600 West Main Street. He further reported that the
surrounding zoning districts include B-2 General Business District to the south, a mixture of B-2 General Business
District and R-7 Multi-Family to the east, R-6 Two-Family Residential to the west, and M-2 Light-Industrial to the
north; the razing of the old Hobart Brothers building has left an opportunity for redevelopment in the heart of our
community; this area was once dominated by industrial uses but has since grown into a mixture of commercial and
residential uses, the City has reached out to the property owner for a rezoning of the area that will complement the
commercial district and respect the nearby residential uses; a rezoning from the M-2 Light-Industrial district to the
OC-1 Office-Commercial district will fit harmoniously into this mixed use area; the Zoning Code describes the OC-1
Office-Commercial district as "designed to accommodate a mixture of office and commercial uses consisting of
groupings of professional, research, executive, administrative, accounting, clerical, stenographic and similar uses";
this district is designed and intended to act as a buffer and is intended to be mapped along major thoroughfares as
a transitional area between nonresidential and residential uses; the OC-1 district does not permit residential
development in this district; however, it does allow residential uses on the second story or above; the OC-1 district
limits commercial uses that are envisioned to prevent disruption to the surrounding existing residential
neighborhoods and the rezoning will protect the surrounding residences from the more intensive uses that are
currently allowed in the M-2 zoning district; the Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use (Figure 14-2) shows this
area as it currently is (industrial) and the surrounding land uses to remain the same, as a mix of commercial,
government, residential and recreational uses; the industrial use does not fit well with the adjoining mix of uses; and
it is staff's opinion that adjoining properties will benefit from the positive impact of the proposed rezoning as the
proposed OC-1 district permits the greatest flexibility to the reuse of the property while complementing the existing
commercial uses and protecting the surrounding residential zoning districts.
outlines the criteria on wh ich to base decisions, staff reported:

Regarding the Section 1139.07

(A) Whether the change in classification would be consistent with the intent and purpose of this Zoning Code.

The proposed rezoning is consistent with Zoning Code. As described in the Zoning Code, the purpose of the
OC-1 District is to accommodate a mixture of office and commercial uses and is designed and intended to act
as a buffet. The OC-1 district is intended to be mapped between nonresidential and residential uses.
(B) Whether the proposed amendment is made necessary because of changed or changing conditions in the
area affected, and, if so, the nature of such changed or changing conditions.

The proposed amendment is a result of the razing of the former Hobart Brother's building which was used to
house an industrial use. This provides an opportunity for redevelopment in the downtown area to can promote
commercial use but also respect the surrounding residential neighborhoods.
(C) Whether the uses that would be permitted on the property if it were reclassified would be compatible with
the uses permitted on other property in the immediate vicinity.

Commercial uses would be permitted on this property and is permitted on surrounding commercial properties
already in existence. The intent is to eliminate the intrusive industrial uses and create a buffer for the adjoining
commercial & residential zoning districts.
(D) Whether adequate utility, sewer, and water facilities, and all other needed public services exist or can be
provided to serve the uses that would be permitted on a property if it were reclassified.

All utilities are provided.

(E) The amount of vacant land that currently has the same zoning classification as is proposed for the subject
property, particularly in the vicinity of the subject property, and any special circumstances, in any, that make a
substantial part of such vacant land unavailable for development.

In the vicinity of the subject property, there is no available vacant land with the OC-1 zoning classification.
(F) Whether the proposed amendment would correct an error in the application of this Zoning Code as applied
to the subject property.

Not applicable in this request.

Staff did not recommend a public hearing be held by the Commission due to the straightforward nature of
the rezoning request and the fact that City Council is required to hold a public hearing if the request proceeds on.
Staff recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the rezoning from the M-2 LightIndustrial Zoning district to the OC-1 Office-Commercial district, based on the following:
o

The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Zoning Code's intent to separate incompatible land uses; and

The proposed rezoning will complement the existing commercial zoning districts and provide flexibility for
future development; and

The OC-1 zoning district will act as a buffer from the surrounding commercial zoning district to the
surrounding residentially zoned neighborhoods.

Discussion:

Mr. Force asked about the Troy Lumber Property, located adjacent to the site of the proposed

rezoning, and was advised that Mr. Goodall, owner of Troy Lumber, now owns that site; that he was contacted
about being included in the rezoning and advised that while he supported the redevelopment of the site, at this time
he did not want to include his property in the area proposed to be rezoned.

In response to Mayor Beamish, it was

stated that as OC-1 allows residential units on a second floor, this could be a benefit for the land to be more
marketable and the OR zoning permits uses that may be more disruptive to the neighborhood. Mr. McGarry stated
he was pleased to see that the city is taking the initiative on this rezoning proposal.

PUBLIC HEARING: A motion was made by Mayor Beamish, seconded by Mrs. Mahan, that the Planning
Commission not holds a public hearing, noting that one will be held by Council.
MOTION PASSED, UNANIMOUS VOTE
REZONING REQUEST:

A motion was made by Mr. McGarry, seconded by Mrs. Johnson, that the

Planning Commission recommends to Troy City Council that the rezoning request identified as 600 West Main
Street (40 parcels total) from to M-2, Light-Industrial District, to OC-1, Office-Commercial District, be approved,
based on the findings of staff that:
o

The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Zoning Code's intent to separate incompatible land uses; and

The proposed rezoning will complement the existing commercial zoning districts and provide flexibility for
future development; and

The OC-1 zoning district will act as a buffer from the surrounding commercial zoning district to the
surrounding residentially zoned neighborhoods.
