C. PUBLIC FORUM:

D. PUBLIC HEARINGS:

1. Conduct the public hearing to consider a variance to Section 6-7D-4:1 (B4 District:
 Required Conditions) of the Naperville Municipal Code to allow a general service use on
 the first floor of the Naper Place property located at 119 S. Main Street Unit 103,
 Naperville - PZC 18-1-024
 Erin Venard, Planning Services Team, gave an overview of the request.
 The PZC inquired about occupancy of the existing space. Venard responded the
 current space is vacant; it was previously used by North Central College.

 Andrew Wadhams with California Closets spoke as the petitioner.
 The PZC inquired about other California Closets locations. Wadhams
 responded that all other locations are in downtown areas similar to the
 proposed location.

 Public Testimony:
 Maureen McManamen previously worked for California Closets and believes the
 business would create a destination in the downtown.

 Lorinna Uram lives in Naperville and was formerly employed by California
 Closets; believes the showroom will be a good business in downtown
 Naperville.

 Bob Tanaka is the owner of the Naper Place building and is supportive of the
 proposed California Closets.

 The PZC inquired about the south Naperville location and the reasons for
 closure. Wadhams responded it was due to franchisee failure.

 James Olguin, attorney speaking on behalf of the petitioner, made a closing

 statement.

 PZC closed the public hearing.

 Chairwoman Martinez and Commissioners Fessler, C. Hansen, B. Hanson,
 Losurdo, Morin, and Williams did not support the petitioner’s request for a
 variance. The Commissioners found the variance did not meet the standards
 for granting a variance and that a showroom does not need a downtown
 location to thrive.
 Commissioners Bansal and Margulies supported the petitioner’s request for a
 variance, finding the showroom to be a good fit for the downtown.
 A motion was made by Hansen and seconded by Fessler to adopt the findings of
 fact as presented by the staff and deny PZC 18-1-024, a variance to Section
 6-7D-4:1 (B4 District: Required Conditions) of the Naperville Municipal Code to
 allow a general service use on the first floor of the Naper Place property located
 at 119 S. Main Street Unit 103, Naperville.
