 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 70, ARTICLE III, OF THE
 SKOKIE VILLAGE CODE PERTAINING TO THEFT AND RETAIL THEFT

1 WHEREAS, Chapter 70, Article III, of the Skokie Village Code provides for offenses
2 against property; and

3 WHEREAS, with the successful rise in economic development and the positive benefits of
4 the growth of retail businesses in the Village of Skokie, there is a resulting increase in the
5 incidents of retail theft. Many of these incidents are of a minor nature with value amounts being
6 less than $300.00. Currently, the only redress for the Skokie Police Department is to do a formal
7 misdemeanor arrest which may take an officer up to 4 to 5 hours to process; and

8 WHEREAS, complicating factors concerning low level retail theft include the reluctance of
9 the State’s Attorney’s Office to charge or prosecute first time offenders and the asset protection
10 policies of some retail businesses which increase reliance on local authorities; and

11 WHEREAS, an amendment to the Skokie Village Code to allow for the issuance of a
12 citation for an ordinance violation instead of a formal arrest, should the circumstances allow, will
13 save valuable police hours and free police officers to be on duty; and

14 WHEREAS, with the addition of an ordinance violation for theft, Skokie police officers will
15 be able to issue a prepay citation with an escalating fine schedule payable to the Village of
16 Skokie. Respondents may also request a hearing before the Administrative Law Officer; and

17 WHEREAS, the Skokie Chief of Police and the Corporation Counsel recommended to the
18 Mayor and Board of Trustees that Chapter 70, Article III, of the Skokie Village Code be amended
19 accordingly; and

20 WHEREAS, the Mayor and Board of Trustees, at a public meeting duly held on October
21 19, 2020, concurred in the aforesaid recommendation of the Chief of Police and Corporation
22 Counsel; and

23 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, by the Mayor and Board of Trustees of the
24 Village of Skokie, Cook County, Illinois;

25 Section 1: That Chapter 70, Article III, of the Skokie Village Code be and the same is
26 hereby amended in the manner hereinafter indicated. The new material is highlighted in bold.

PLAN COMMISSION REPORT 2020-14P: Subdivision
Plan Commission Council Chambers, 8:00 PM October 19, 2020


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman
Re: 2020-14P: Subdivision
 7800 Austin Avenue

 Related Case – 2020-15P: Map Amendment

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its October 1, 2020 meeting, the Plan Commission heard the petitioner’s request to
resubdivide 5 properties, commonly known as 7800 Austin Avenue, into Bridge Point
Skokie Subdivision, 2 lots with dedication for right-of-way as Austin Avenue, in an M3
Industry and an R2 Residential zoning district. The petitioner also requested that relief
be granted to allow the width of a portion of the right-of-way to be reduced from the
required full width of 66’ to as little as 50’.
Staff was supportive of the petitioner’s request for relief. The Comprehensive Plan
identifies the future connection of Austin Avenue from Oakton Street to Howard Street.
The dedication will allow for the development of that street. Due to the existing 50’
right-of-way south of the site, Staff also supports the smaller right-of-way dedication
from 33’ to as little as 25’ from centerline for the portions of the site indicated on the
plat of subdivision.
The applicant indicated that Lot 1 will be redeveloped into Class A light industrial
building and Lot 2 will remain a parking lot but will be upgraded to comply with the
Village Code.
There was no discussion by the Commission regarding the petitioner’s request.
More detailed information about this case is in the attached Staff Report and minutes.


INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to all property owners
around the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. No interested parties
spoke regarding the case.


PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommended by a vote of 9 ayes and 0 nays, with no members
absent, that the petitioner’s request to subdivide 7800 Austin Avenue into Bridge Point
Skokie Subdivision, 2 lots and dedication of right-of-way as Austin Avenue, in M3
Industry and R2 Single Family zoning districts, be APPROVED subject to the attached

VOSDOCS-#571548-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2020-14P__Subdivision_of_7800_Austin_Avenue

conditions. The Commission further recommends that relief be granted from Sec. 118-
94(a)(2) of the Skokie Village Code to allow the width of portions of the right-of-way to
be reduced from the required 33’ to as much as 25’ from the platted centerline in those
portions of Bridge Point Skokie Subdivision as presented to the Commission.

PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL
The petitioner is requesting to resubdivide 5 properties, commonly known as 7800
Austin Avenue, into Bridge Point Skokie Subdivision, 2 lots with dedication for right-of-
way as Austin Avenue, in an M3 Industry and an R2 Residential zoning district. The
petitioner is also requesting that relief be granted to allow the width of a portion of the
right-of-way to be reduced from the required full width of 66’ to 50’ and any relief that
may be discovered during the review of this case.
The subdivision will include a 33’-wide dedication of Austin Avenue adjacent to 6001
Oakton Street, resulting in a full 66’-wide right-of-way, then a 25’ dedication along the
remainder of the existing 33’ right-of-way southward for approximately 404’. The rest
of the Austin right-of way dedication will be 50’-wide to match the existing 50’ Austin
Avenue right-of-way south of the site. Sec. 94-6(a)(2) of the Subdivision chapter of
Skokie Village Code requires a minimum width of 33’ on each side of the centerline (66’
total).
The dedication will result in the creation of 2 lots on either side of the continuous right-
of-way.

deal since 2012. They propose to resubdivide 5 lots into 2 lots, with dedication for right-of-
way as Austin Avenue. They are also requesting relief to reduce the width for a portion of
Austin Avenue to 50 feet rather than the required 60 feet. The proposed Lot 2 at 7805
Austin has been used as a non-conforming parking lot for Castwell Products for many
years. Parking lots as principal uses are not allowable in R2 residential districts and as the
use will remain the same in the future, the request for rezoning to M2 has been put forth to
bring it into compliance with the Village Code. They plan to tear down the Castwell building
and build a Class A industrial warehouse.
The chairman inquired if the warehouse will have a single user or be a multi-tenant facility.
Mr. Houser stated that it was designed both ways. It could be a single user or possibly up
to 3 tenants as warehouse and distribution space or light manufacturing and assembly; no
production.
Matt Brandmeyer, Community Development Director, added that the request for the
subdivision will allow the dedication for the re-zoning of the east side parcel for parking.
The chairman wanted assurance that the use will match the zoning designation. Mr. Houser
answered that the building is designed to fit with the current zoning. The only change is re-
zoning the parking lot from R2 to M2 to match the building.
Staff requested that the reports be accepted into the record as presented and reminded all
that they are not reviewing a building; only the re-dividing from 5 lots to 2 lots with the
right-of-way dedication to Austin Avenue. The street is in bad condition and not actually a
full street. Improvements to Austin Avenue have been in the Comprehensive Plan for a
long time. Niles West High School is the adjacent property surrounding the subject site on
the north and east.
A commissioner noted the loading bays and remembering that a school transportation use
was approved for a nearby site, asked how the trucks would mix with the school buses
especially at the intersection of Austin Avenue and Oakton Street. Staff stated that
significant road improvements for the intersection and traffic lights are being planning for
the area. Mr. Houser answered that when Austin Avenue is extended south to Howard
Street trucks would be directed that way which is the preferred route.
Matt Brandmeyer stated that re-building the road is budgeted for and it is estimated that
the opening of Howard Street southbound to truck traffic will be about the same time as
the as the lot improvements are made.
Mark Houser and Nick Siegel had no additional details to present. There were no public
comments submitted regarding this case.

PLAN COMMISSION REPORT 2020-15P: Zoning Map Amendment
Plan Commission Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, October 19, 2020



To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairperson
Case: 2020-15P: Zoning Map Amendment
 7805 Austin Avenue

 Related Case – 2020-14: Subdivision

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
The case was heard at the October 1, 2020 Plan Commission meeting and involved a
request for zoning map amendment from R2 Residential to M2 Light Industry for what
is proposed to be Lot 2 in Bridge Point Skokie Subdivision, east of the extension of
Austin Avenue. The petitioner is rezoning the subject site in conjunction with a request
for a subdivision (case 2020-14P). The site has historically been used as a parking lot
for the steel manufacturing facility at 7800 Austin Avenue. The rezoning is needed
because parking lots are not a principle use in the R2 zoning district, and the
subdivision with the new dedication of Austin Avenue will separate the site from its
principle use.
There was no discussion by the Commission regarding the petitioner’s request.
A more detailed discussion of this and the related cases are in the attached staff report
and meeting minutes.


INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was advertised, posted, and delivered to property owners in the area as
prescribed by the Zoning chapter. It was determined by Corporation Counsel that
notice was proper and correct. There were no interested parties who spoke regarding
this case.


PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommended, by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 nays, with no
Commissioners absent that the petitioner’s request to amend the zoning map to change
the zoning district for 7805 Austin Avenue from R2 Single-Family to M2 Light Industry
be APPROVED, based upon the Positive Findings of Fact.

Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, October 1, 2020


To: Paul Luke, Chairman, Skokie Plan Commission
From: Steve Marciani, AICP, Planning Supervisor
Re: 2020-15P: Zoning Map Amendment
 7805 Austin Avenue

 Related Cases – 2020-14P: Subdivision


 General Information
 Location 7805 Austin Avenue
 Purpose To amend the zoning map from R2 Residential to M2 Light
 Industry for what is proposed to be Lot 2 in Bridge Point Skokie
 Subdivision, east of the extension of Austin Avenue.
 Petitioner Castwell Products, LLC
 Size of Site 79,205 square feet (1.8 acres) with frontage on Austin Avenue
 Existing Zoning & R2 Single-Family – parking lot
 Land Use
 Adjacent Zoning & North R2 Single-Family Residence – senior high school
 Land Use
 South M2 Light Industry – electric utility substation
 East R2 Single-Family Residence – senior high school
 West M3 Industry – steel manufacturing
 Comprehensive Plan The site is designated as single family detached residential.


PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL
The petitioner is requesting to change the zoning district for 7805 Austin Avenue from
R2 Residential to M2 Light Industry. The petitioner is rezoning the subject site in
conjunction with a request for a subdivision (case 2020-14P). The site has historically
been used as a parking lot for the steel manufacturing facility at 7800 Austin Avenue.
The subject site is currently being used for car parking and will continue to be used as
such. The surrounding properties appear to have been in their current use for a very
long period, so there does not seem to be any development trend in the area.
The rezoning is needed because with parking lots are not a principle use in the R2
zoning district. The subdivision requested in 2020-14P will separate the parking from
its principle use with the dedication of Austin Avenue. A parking lot is a permitted
principle use on a separate lot in the M2 zoning district.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Comments
All pertinent departments and divisions were offered an opportunity to comment on this
case. Other than the Planning Division comments below, all others did not respond or
approved the request without comment.


 Planning Division
 The Planning Division has reviewed the submitted material and supports the
 petitioner’s request. The property has been used as required parking for the
 existing metals manufacturing facility. The requested map amendment will bring
 the use of the property into compliance with the zoning ordinance.
 The request to rezone to M2 Light Manufacturing is not consistent with the
 Comprehensive Plan’s Single Family Detached designation. However, there are no
 single family detached residences surrounding the property; all uses are
 institutional, utilities, or industrial.
 As of 1946, the subject site was zoned B Single Family. By 1952 it was zoned R2
 Single Family and has been ever since. However, Niles West High School, which
 opened in 1959, occupies all the other adjacent land with the single family detached
 land use classification. This residual piece was developed for parking purposes for
 the adjacent industrial parcel and has been continuously used for this purpose.


STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request to amend the zoning map to change the
zoning district for 7805 Austin Avenue from R2 Single-Family to M2 Light Industry be
APPROVED, subject to the attached Proposed Positive Findings of Fact.

Case Descriptions:

2020-14P – Subdivision: 7800 Austin Avenue

Austin Avenue, into Bridge Point Subdivision, 2 lots with dedication for right-of-way as
Austin Avenue, in an M3 Industry and an R2 Residential zoning district. The petitioner is
also requesting that relief be granted to allow the width of a portion of the right-of-way to

2020-15P – Zoning Map Amendment: 7805 Austin Avenue

Discussion and Interested Parties
Legal notice was advertised, posted, and delivered to property owners in the area as
prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. Corporation Counsel determined that notice was proper
and correct.
As both cases are related, they were discussed together but voted on separately.
Mark Houser and Nick Siegel of Bridge Development Partners presented the cases. Nick
Siegel gave a short background of Bridge Development Partners. They are an active
industrial developer who is locally based for the last 20 years. This is their 15th Cook County
deal since 2012. They propose to resubdivide 5 lots into 2 lots, with dedication for right-of-

VOSDOCS-#571544-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2020-15P__Zoning_Map_Amendment_for_7805_Austin 6
way as Austin Avenue. They are also requesting relief to reduce the width for a portion of
Austin Avenue to 50 feet rather than the required 60 feet. The proposed Lot 2 at 7805
Austin has been used as a non-conforming parking lot for Castwell Products for many
years. Parking lots as principal uses are not allowable in R2 residential districts and as the
use will remain the same in the future, the request for rezoning to M2 has been put forth to
bring it into compliance with the Village Code. They plan to tear down the Castwell building
and build a Class A industrial warehouse.
The chairman inquired if the warehouse will have a single user or be a multi-tenant facility.
Mr. Houser stated that it was designed both ways. It could be a single user or possibly up
to 3 tenants as warehouse and distribution space or light manufacturing and assembly; no
production.
Matt Brandmeyer, Community Development Director, added that the request for the
subdivision will allow the dedication for the re-zoning of the east side parcel for parking.
The chairman wanted assurance that the use will match the zoning designation. Mr. Houser
answered that the building is designed to fit with the current zoning. The only change is re-
zoning the parking lot from R2 to M2 to match the building.
Staff requested that the reports be accepted into the record as presented and reminded all
that they are not reviewing a building; only the re-dividing from 5 lots to 2 lots with the
right-of-way dedication to Austin Avenue. The street is in bad condition and not actually a
full street. Improvements to Austin Avenue have been in the Comprehensive Plan for a
long time. Niles West High School is the adjacent property surrounding the subject site on
the north and east.
A commissioner noted the loading bays and remembering that a school transportation use
was approved for a nearby site, asked how the trucks would mix with the school buses
especially at the intersection of Austin Avenue and Oakton Street. Staff stated that
significant road improvements for the intersection and traffic lights are being planning for
the area. Mr. Houser answered that when Austin Avenue is extended south to Howard
Street trucks would be directed that way which is the preferred route.
Matt Brandmeyer stated that re-building the road is budgeted for and it is estimated that
the opening of Howard Street southbound to truck traffic will be about the same time as
the as the lot improvements are made.
Mark Houser and Nick Siegel had no additional details to present. There were no public
comments submitted regarding this case.


Recommendations and Voting
Case 2020-14P
A motion was made to approve the request as presented to re-subdivide 5 lots into 2 lots
