 BOARD MEETING OF TUESDAY, JANUARY 20,2026

  A. Recommendation for Adoption of Ordinance for Short Term Rentals (STR).
 Community Development along with Corporation Counsel/Legal Department have
 been working on restructuring Short Term Rentals (STR) within the Village based
 on prior Board discussions. Village staff recommends that the Board authorize the
 attached ordinance to regulate Short Term Rentals through a STR license process,
 balancing neighborhood preservation with community-serving uses. The ordinance
 reflects discussions from the September 15, 2025 Village Board meeting. I concur
 with staff's recommendation and respectfully request Board approval to adopt the
 ordinance for Short Term Rentals. Johanna Nyden, Director of Community
 Development will provide a presentation.

* B. Purchase of a Fire Squad/Pumper Replacement- Fleet #101/Rescue 17
 Pierce Enforcer - $1,451,348 - Pierce Manufacturing / MacQueen Emerqency,
 Aurora, Illinois.
 The Fire Department is due for replacement of a fire squad/pumper (Rescue 17)
 that is identified in the Fiscal Year 2026 Capital Improvement Plan and per the
 replacement schedule, is projected to be delivered in FY2028. Due to industry and
 manufacture delays, a fire apparatus has a 47-50 month lead time from the time of
 order. To remain aligned with the Capital Improvement Plan and replacement
 schedule, a fire squad/pumper needs to be ordered. Pricing was obtained
 competitively through the Sourcewell Consortium Pricing Joint Government
 Purchasing Program. It is recommended that a contract be awarded to Pierce
 Manufacturing/MacQueen Emergency in the amount of $1,447,000 plus a $4,348
 performance bond. The peri'ormance bond was secured due to the long lead time
 for manufacturing. I concur with staff's recommendation and respectfully request
 Board approval.

* C. Purchase of One (1) CASE 651G Wheel Loader - McCann Industries Inc.,
 Addison. Illinois - $220,307.
 The Village's current front-end leader is used year-round for various tasks such as
 snow removal, leaf collection, alley maintenance, truck loading and stockpiling of
 materials and has experienced significant mechanical failure to the rear axle,
 causing the machine to become inoperable. Although this replacement was

 originally planned for Fiscal Year 2027, advancing the purchase is necessary due
 to the premature failure of the existing unit. It is staff's recommendation to
 purchase the new unit from McCann Industries, a vendor the Village has
 previously purchased from with satisfactory results. I concur with staff's
 recommendation that a contract in the amount of $220,307 be awarded to
 McCann Industries. This amount includes a trade-in allowance of $8,500. Board
 approval is respectfully requested.

  D. Request to Sell Surplus Vehicles and Equipment.
 The Public Works Director has requested authorization to sel! at auction certain
 surplus vehicles. These vehicles will be auctioned through the Northwest Municipai
 Conference (NWMC) Auction, which has proven to be successful in the past. The
 Village currently has five Village Haii vehicles, three Police Department vehicles,
 and one Public Works vehicle that are being replaced or removed from the fleet. In
 addition, there is also miscelianeous old automotive equipment to be sold at
 auction. I concur with these recommendations and respectfully request Board
 approval for these vehicles to be sold at the NWMC auction.

Memorandum
Community Development Department


TO: John Lockerby, Village Manager

FROM: Johanna Nyden, AICP, Community Development Director


DATE: January 15,2026

SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM ~ January 20, 2026 Village Board Meeting
 Recommendation for Adoption of Ordinance for Short Term Rentals (STR)


Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Village Board adopt the attached ordinance regulating short-term rentals
(STRs) in the Village through a STR license process.

Summary
The ordinance reflects the discussions from the September 15, 2025 Village Board meeting that seek
to:
 • Preserve residential neighborhood character: The very charm that makes STRs attractive in
 our residential neighborhoods is vitally important to preserve for Skokie's residents.
 • Recognize community serving uses: Many STRs may play home to guests who are visiting
 family or friends who are residents of Skokie or serve as housing for Skokie families that are
 temporarily displaced from their primary residence.


Below are key elements for how a STR would be regulated and permitted to operate in Skokie:


 • Eligibility and Residency Requirements
 o Operators ofOwner-Occupied STRs must demonstrate that the dwelling unit bein^
 offered as an STR is their permanent and legal primary residence or located on the
 same parcels as their permanent and legal primary residence, and the licensees are the
 record title or beneficial owner of the property.
 o No new Investor-owned STRs are permitted to operate in the Village; existing
 investor-owned STRs are permitted only if they were registered rental units or in
 process to obtain a rental registration from the Village prior to January 16, 2026.


 • Established STRs. Under current practice, STRs have been registered as residential rental
 units, similar to other residential property that is available for long-term rental (any period of
 30 days or longer). Under this practice, owners of rental properties pay an annual registration
 fees and are required to make the rental unit available for an inspection by a Code
 Compliance Specialist. Upon passing the inspection, units may be rented.


 The new regulations set forth in the attached draft ordinance, all owners of existing STRs in
 the Village must both apply for STR License and register any dwellings they plan to offer for
 rent as STRs with the Village not later than 120 days after the effective date of the ordinance.
 Existing STRs may only be registered with the Village if they were already registered as
 rental units.

 Return to Memo




 For properties that are operating as investor" owned STRS and have been registered through
 the Village's current rental registration process, they may continue to operate as investor
 STRs (and do not have to be owner-occupied) under a "grandfather clause." No investor-
 owned STR that was not previously registered with the Village as a rental unit may be
 registered as an STR under the new ordinance.


 Minimum Stay
 o No STR may rented for a period of less than seven (7) consecutive days.


 License for Operators and STR Unit Registration
 o Creates a license requirement for property owners who seek to offer dwelling units or
 portions thereof as STRs.
 o Creates a unit registration requirement for the dwelling units that will be offered as
 STRs.


 Permitted Locations
 o STRs may only be located in the primary residential structure on a parcel of property.
 STRs may not be located in any accessory structure or building on the property.
 o In multi-family buildings:
 • STRs may only be located in multi-family buildings in which the property
 owner (STR operator) maintains the property as their legal and permanent
 address (e.g. a resident owns a two-flat and seeks to rent a different unit
 within the same primary structure on the property);
 • STRs may only be located in condominium buildings where by-laws permit
 leasing of property for less than 30 days. Annual registration for these types of
 units will be required to demonstrate that by-laws continue to allow leasing of
 property for less than 30 days.


 Geographic Limitations of STRS. The total number of STRs allowed to operate is limited
 to one per block and block face in order to limit the impact on residential neighborhoods.


 Notwithstanding this limitation, in the event that multiple existing STRs are found in excess
 of the location limitation on the block or block face as of the effective date of this ordinance,
 all STRs that were registered rental units under the Village's rental registration program prior
 to January 16, 2026 will be allowed to continue to operate as STRs so long as their STR
 registrations are maintained in good standing.


 Create STR Operator Training Program. Similar to the Village's Landlord Training
 program, the Village will require STR operators to complete a Village sponsored or approved
 training program every 12 months to obtain and maintain their STR license. An STR
 operator may not register a STR unit or offer a STR unit to the public without completion of
 the annual training program. The training program will address property maintenance and
 code compliance expectations, applicable Village Code, occupancy limits, requirements to



* Rental periods exceeding 29 days are traditionally considered long-term rentals as they generally create a landlord-
tenant relationship and are outside the scope of Short-Term Rental regulations.

 Return to Memo




 inform visitors/guests of Village operations (e.g. garbage, public street parking regulations,
 noise), screening of guests through platforms and other recognized industry best practices for
 successful STR operation.


 • Initial STR Unit Inspection. Every potential STR unit will be required to undergo and pass
 an STR inspection prior to being made available to guests. STR units will be inspected by
 representatives from the Community Development and Fire Departments and other
 Departments as determined to be necessary to ensure the health, welfare, and safety of
 guests. Specific requirements for determining occupancy for overnight guests will be
 determined during the inspection process. Units will be required to undergo inspection
 annually.


 • Proposed fee structure:
 o Initial license fees for owners ofSTRs will be $1,200 ($100/month) for the initial
 one-year probationary period. The annual license renewal fee following the
 probationary license period will be $400 ($33.33/month).
 o Proposed registration fees for STR units is tiered based on whether the STR is an
 owner-occupied STR or an investor-owned STRs.
 • Initial registration for owner-occupied STRs will be $2,450 for the initial one-
 year probationary period. The annual registration renewal fee following the
 probationary registration period will be $1,800.
 * Initial registration for investor-owned STRs will be $3,600 for the initial one-
 year probationary period. The annual registration renewal fee following the
 probationary registration period will be $3,000.

 • Notice to Neighbors. Every STR operator must provide a notice to neighbors within 250
 feet that an STR is in operation. The notice must include the STR registration number, the
 STR address, name and contact information for the STR licensee and operator (email and
 phone) as well as any other pertinent information required by the Village. These notices
 must be sent every year following renewal of STR unit registration.


 • Establish "STR Probationary Period" for first 12 months ofSTR operation. Every STR
 will undergo a 12-month probationary period for its operation following applicable
 inspection and payment of fees). During this probationary period the STR operator will be
 limited to no more than 12 (twelve) STR bookings. Additionally, the Village representatives
 may inspect the premises of the STR at any time to determine compliance. At the end of the
 probationary period, the Village staff will evaluate if the STR host complied with the
 Village's regulations for STRs (paid hotel tax, passed inspections, did not violate any codes
 of conducts, had received any notices of violation, etc.). If the owner of the STR
 successfully complied with Village Codes, paid the hotel tax on a timely basis, and passed
 inspections at various intervals, they would be eligible for renewal of their STR License and
 corresponding STR Registrations. After successfully completing a probationary period, the
 12-booking limit will be lifted to allow up to 18 bookings per calendar year. In the event any
 code violations occur during the probationary period, the Village reserves the right to cancel
 the probationary period for the STR unit and determine that the property and/or STR operator
 cannot maintain a license is not able to apply for a STR at that property and/or other
 properties for a designated period of time, up to 24 months.

 Implementation and Utilization of STR Management Tool. Several communities utilize
 STR management tools that assist in the identification of STRs, monitor compliance with
 license, registration, and collection of fees, and assist with communication to operators
 regarding complaints and other concerns. The costs associated with this technology would
 be offset by revenues collected from license fees and taxes remitted by this use. Tools
 perform the following functionalities:
 o Monitor active STRs in the marketplace. These tools can identify different
 platforms throughout the Internet that offer STRs in Skokie. Notably some of these
 platforms utilize technology that makes it more challenging for municipal reviewers
 to identify STRs in the market. The tool identifies STRs and checks to make sure
 they are registered with the municipality and if not, "flags" the STR to help Village
 staff with appropriate follow-up and enforcement.
 o Manage Collection of Hotel Tax. These tools create interfaces to assist with the
 collection of applicable fees and taxes in order to facilitate timely payment to the
 Village.
 o Provides "Complaint Hotline". Some of these tools offer a third-party service that
 neighbors of STRs can provide feedback or address complaints and concerns
 regarding a STR in their neighborhood. The service immediately contacts the STR
 operator to address the concern (e.g. noise, garbage, occupancy issues, etc.). The
 Village is also provided a log of complaints that occur at the STR and can address in
 the event of evaluation during a probationary period or if revocation of license and
 registration is under consideration. This facilitates communication during times when
 Village staff may not be working (evenings and weekends) and can direct non-
 emergency complaints to the owner/operator and not through a public safety officer.


 Violations. STRs are subject to all Village Code requirements including noise control,
 property maintenance, and the Hotel/Motel guest privilege tax. In the event of failure to
 comply with Village Codes, the Village would issue a Notice of Violation (NOV). The STR
 operator would have a period of time to resolve the matter identified in the NOV. If this does
 not occur, the Village would issue a local ordinance citation. This would require the STR
 operator to come to an Administrative Adjudication hearing. Matters related to violations,
 found liable, may be subject to monetary fine of up to the maximum daily fine of $ 1,500 as
 well as suspension or revocation of the owner's STR License.


 Suspension and Revocation of STR Licenses and Registrations. In addition to monetary
 penalties, the Village Manager may conduct a hearing to determine whether an STR License
 or Registration should be suspended or revoked. The Village Manager's decision will be
 appealable to the Village Board. Similar to the probationary period for the STR, if a
 revocation of a STR License occurs, neither the owner of the STR nor anyone else is will be
 allowed to register a STR at that property and/or other properties for 24 months.


 Established STRs. Under current practice, STRs have been registered as rentals, similar to
 other residential property that is available for rent for more than 30 days. Under this practice,
 rental properties pay annual fees and complete an inspection with a Code Compliance
 Specialist. Upon passing the inspection, units may be rented.

 Under the new ordinance, all existing STRs in the Village that have been previously
 registered under the Village's existing rental registration program, must initiate the process
 with the Village to be established as registered STRs under the new Village Code no later
 than 120 days after passage of the ordinance. For those properties that are registered rental
 properties that are operating as investor-owned STRS, they may continue to operate as
 investor STRs (and do not have to be owner-occupied) under the "grandfather clause" if they
 were a registered rental property prior to ordinance adoption.


Background
Under the Village's current practice, owner/operators of STRs are required to follow steps associated
with the Village's rental license process. This process is, however, tailored to a rental use associated
with long term renters and not shorter-term rental arrangements facilitated by Airbnb, VRBO, and
other "sharing economy" housing websites.

 SUBJECT: Ageuda Item - January 20, 2026 Village of Skolue Board Meetiug
 Fire Squad/Pumper Replacement" Fleet #101/Rescue 17 Pierce Eufox'cex'

Pricing for the Squad/Puinper (Rescue 17) fire apparatus was obtained competitively through the
Sourcewell Consortium Govenwnent Purchasmg Program. The Village is ati active member of
the Som-cewell Consortium Pricing Program and has purchased equipment through the program
in the past. The Village also maintains a membership with the Northwest Municipal Conference.
However, recent competitive bidding through the Northwest Municipal Confeiejice (NWMC)
did not include the type and style of chassis specified by the Village. The chassis selected by the
Village will provide improved maneuverability, durability, functionality, consistency, safety snd
dependability. Additionally, purchasing through Sourcewell doesn't require payment of an
administrative fee typically associated withNWMC purchases.

Total $1,451,348.00

* Payment is required at time of delivery, which is anticipated to be Spring of 203 0. The
budgeted amount has been identified in the 5-year plan of the PY2026 Capital Improvejnent
Program. The specific Budget Account and Project Code will be identified in the FY2028»
FY2029, and FY2030 Budget.

Recommendafion:
The Fire Department is due for replacement of a fire squad/pnmper (Rescue 17) that is identified
in the FY2026 Capital Improvement Plan and per the replacement schedule, is projected to be
delivered in FY2028. Due to industry and manufacture delays, a fu'e apparatus has a 47-50-
mouth lead time fi-om the time of order. To remain aligned with the Capital Improvement Plan
and replacement schedule, a fire squad/pumper needs to be ordered. The Fire Department
Apparatus Committee has received a fmal build^roposal totaling $1,447,000, plus a $4,348
performance bond.


It is recommeuded that a contract be awarded to MacQueen, the Sourcewell Consortium awarded
contractor for Pierce Bqulpment, in the amount of$l»451,348.00 for the manufactumig of a.
Pierce Enforcer Squad/Pumper. Awarding this contract amount helps remain aligned with the
Capital Improvement Program replacement schedule and avoids any future manufacture
inflationary increases. The contract price includes a Performance Bond that was secured due to
the long lead for manufactumig. The remaining budgeted amount would be utilized for apparatus
contingencies, striping, computer and radio installation, and essential equipment that cannot be
relocated from the current Rescue 17.


Comments:
Although showing some small signs of improvement, vehicle manufacturing is still extremely
volatile with excessive backlogs in purchase orders, labor shox-tages, parts sJioilages, and
inflationary price increases. Wlule Pierce Manufacturing has taken drastic steps to address these
delays, the addition of another facility and additional employees will not be realized for
approximately 24 months. Tlie cmrent lead time for delivery of a fn'e apparatus is 47 - 50
months. This mamrfacturiag backlog is requiring advanced plaiming for each vehicle purchase
and adjusfm.enfs in the Capital Improvem&nt Program.

The cun-ent PY2026 Ciipital Improvement Program 5-Year Plan mcludes $1,330,000 in PY2028
for the purchase of the new squacl/pumper. Due to industry increases, the original project cost
was exceeded. However, with the longer delivery time, the expense can be balanced out over
three budget cycles wliich will allow for greater utilization of Capital Improvement Program
Budget.

Fire Department staff and the Public Works Operations and Fleet Superintendent recommend
replacement of the current unit #101 (2007 Squad/Puinper) due to the age, mileage and life
expectancy. The new fu'e apparatus will be placed in-service as Rescue 17 (R17). Rescue 17 is a
specialized piece of fire equipment that provides many specialized rescue capabilities, including
vehicle extricatlon, while still providing fire protection and EMS coverage. The cun'ent Rescue
17 was placed in service in 2018 and will become our reserve squad/rescue apparatus (S17R).
This will provide the Village a reliable replacement when either of the front-line Squad 18 or
Rescue 17 apparatus iu-e being serviced by the Automotive Division.

The Fire Department Apparatus Committee has been evaluatmg numerous manufacturers and
types of fire apparatus over the past year in preparation for this purchase. Having carefully
reviewed the needs of the Community and the Fire Department, a strong recommendation was




Document Number: 637397
 Return to Mgr Rpt




 made for the purchase of a Pierce Enforcer Squad/Pumper. The Pierce EnfQrcer Squad/Pumper
 will have increased maneuverability, versatility and -will create efficiency m operations. It will be
 equipped with advanced safety teclmology and will be fblly compliant with the National Fire
 Protection Association Standard 1901 ~ Standard for Automotive Firs Apparatus. The apparatus
 has a better turning radius, whicli will greatly improve the Fire Deparhnenfs ability to access
 and function m the numerous multi-family cotttplexes in the Village and in the alleyy where the
 vehicle is due to respond. The Pierce Enforcer Squad/Pumper will allow the Fire Department to
 maintain consistency in operations by providing similar vehicle layout and a pump panel that is
 consistent with other vehicles in the Fire Department fleet.

The custom-built Pierce Enforcer Squad/Pumper allows the Fire Department to contmue to
include rear backstop bumpers that stop the apparatus if it backs into an object/person and the
full au'bag/rollover protection that are safety features that have been build into the other
apparatus in the fleet. Additionally, the cusfom-built Pierce Enforcer Squad/Pumper allows for
the low rear hose bed which has proven to be an injury reducing option and is imperative for the
hose deployment for firegi'oimd operations. A custom-built apparatus also allows the Fire
Department to decrease the water tank size to 500 gallons, from the 750 gallons in a stock unit.
This modification, which is appropriate due to tlie available water supply and hydrant system
witihin the Village^ creates additional compartment space, which is needed for this specialized
piece of equipment. The reduction in the water tank size also reduces the vehicle weight, which
makes the vehicle safer to operate and reduces maintenance costs. |
 [i
 t.
The unit will be custom built with an approximate forty-seven (47) month lead time by Pierce |
Manufacturing on an Enforcer chassis. The new chassis offers economic value, high safety J
statidards and features, improved reliability and serviceability. All department specifications |
have been incorporated into the chassis and body, keeping with consistent stand ardization of our |I
existing fleet, wliile enhancing Pii'e Department specialized rescue capabilities with the ability to j
still provide excellent fu'e suppression and EMS services. Fire Department staff and the Public |
Works Operations & Fleet Superintendent have reviewed the build specifications oxxd are |
confident that the unit bid by M^acqueen Emergency will provide outstanding performance for |
our applications. The Village has previously worked with and purchased vehicles manufactured |
by Piei'ce, and the overall experience has lieen extremely positive. I

 DATE: January 12, 2026

 SUBJECT: Purchase of one (1) CASE 651G Wheel Leader

 Pricing for the replacement of one (1) CASE 651G Wheel Loader was obtained through
the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasmg Contract #032119-CNH.

Tabulation:
Case Tractor Model 651G (Sourcewell) $220,307

Recommendation:
It is recommended to authorize the early replacement of one (1) CASE 651G Wheel
Leader be awarded to McCaim Industries Inc. Addison, IL, the Sourcewell Consortium
awarded dealer for CASE Equipment, for the amount of $220,307. This price includes a
base price of $228,807 less the frade-in allowance m the amount of $8,500 for the wheel
loader being replaced. Although this replacement was originally planned for FY27,
advancing the purchase is necessary due to the premature failure of the existing unit.
Subject to board approval, staff will coordinate with Finance to prefund the purchase,
expense accordingly and reflect the necessary changes to the Capital Improvement
Program.


Comments:
The Village's current firont-endloader is a 2011 CASE 621 with over 11,000 operating
hours. This unit was scheduled for replacement in the FY27 Capital Improvement
Program based on age, utilization, and lifecycle expectations. This unit has an expected
life of 15 years and is used year-round for many tasks such as leaf collection and
disposal, emergency clearing of snow and ice accumulations, loading of trucks and
stockpiling of materials such as road salt, stone, sweeper debris and vegetative brush
during wind storm cleanup.

Over the past 12 months, the Village has invested nearly $20,000 in repairs to keep the
machine operational. Despite these recent investments, the loader has experienced a
significant mechanical failure to the rear axle, causing the machine to become inoperable.
After evaluation, the repair would cost $43,453.00. Staff determined that the additional



Document Number: 637368
 Return to Mgr Rpt




repair costs required to return the machine to service are not economically justified and
could not guarantee long-term reliability.

The loss of this equipment significantly impacts the Village's ability to mamtain safe
road conditions, respond to winter weather events, and perform essential public works
functions. Due to the mimediate operational need, staff contacted McCann Industries and
identified an in-stock front end leader that meets all operational needs and aligns with
existmg units in the fleet. At this time, the market for hybrid and electric wheel leaders of
this size is non-existent, however, Public Works staff keeps a close eye on this evolving
market.


The Village has successfully purchased equipment from McCann Industries Inc. Addison,
IL in the past and does not anticipate any issues.

Memorandum

TO: Honorable Mayor and Board of Trustees

FROM: Paul Luke, Chairman
 Skokie Plan Commission

DATE: January 12, 2026

SUBJECT: CASE 2025-03M – A REQUEST BY OLD ORCHARD APARTMENTS,
 LLC AT 5202-5250 OLD ORCHARD ROAD FOR AN AMENDMENT TO
 SITE PLAN APPROVAL ORDINANCE 24-4-Z-4683 THROUGH THE
 MODIFIED REVIEW PROCEDURE

Staff recommends that the request by 5250 Old Orchard, LLC to amend site plan approval
ordinance 24-4-Z-4683 to modify the site plan at 5202-5250 Old Orchard Road be approved
through modified review.
In accordance with the Village Code, the Corporation Counsel, Plan Commission Chairman, and
Community Development Director reviewed the request. It was their opinion that the
modification to the site is in substantial compliance with the intent of the original site plan
approval.
Summary:
The Village received a request from 5250 Old Orchard, LLC to amend Ordinance 24-4-Z-4683
through the modified review procedure. On April 15, 2024, Zeller OOT, LLC received approval
from the Village Board for site plan approval for a mixed-use development at 5202-5250 Old
Orchard Road in the OR Office Research district. The site plan approval authorized the adaptive
reuse by conversion of two existing seven story office buildings at 5202 and 5250 Old Orchard
Road to include office space and 245 residential units, conversion of the upper deck of the
existing parking garage into a partial recreational green space amenity space for the residential
tenants, the addition of EV charging stations within the garage, and retention of the existing
clinic at 5230 Old Orchard Road. While the affordable housing ordinance was not adopted at that
time, the Developer agreed to designate 5% of the units in the South Tower as affordable
housing at 120% AMI for 25 years.

The petitioner, 5250 Old Orchard, LLC, was granted ownership of the subject site by Special
Warranty Deed on March 21, 2024. As current owner, the petitioner is requesting to amend the
approved site plan, approved landscape plan, and building elevations and is also requesting that
the Board of Trustees waive the requirements of Section 94.5 of the Village’s Subdivision
Ordinance, and the requirement to prepare and record a new plat of subdivision or resubdivision
related to petitioner’s interest in conveying Lot 2 to 5250 Old Orchard Apartments, LLC. The
proposed revisions to the site plan, landscape plan, and elevations relate to the following: 1)
minor façade changes, reconfiguration of the exterior balconies, and relocation of first floor
residential units to higher floors for both the North and South Towers, 2) removal of the amenity
deck from the roof of the existing parking garage due to structural concerns and removal of the
vegetated screens on the exterior sides of the garage, 3) the addition of recreational amenities at




VOSDOC 636855 Page 1 of 2
 Return to top of 3M




the ground level of the property adjacent to the perimeter of the existing garage structure and on
the first floor of the North and South Towers and the removal of 35 parking spaces along the
perimeter of the garage to accommodate those amenities, 4) additional landscaping along the
northwest elevation of the garage. The petitioner is also requesting modification of the
designated 5% of units in the South Tower as affordable housing at 120% AMI for 25 years to
eliminate said units. The redevelopment is intended to occur in stages, with the North Tower
redevelopment commencing first and the South Tower redevelopment following completion of
the North Tower. The petitioner acknowledges that delivery of affordable housing units in the
South Tower would not be date certain. Therefore, the petitioner is proposing to make a total
$1,000,000 affordable housing contribution in two parts; $400,000 with the issuance of the
building permits for the North Tower and $600,000 with the issuance of building permits for the
South Tower. The total affordable housing contribution is intended to serve as fee in lieu of
provision of any affordable units.

As directed in Condition #29 of Ordinance 24-4-Z-4683, “All modifications to building
elevations, signage, and landscaping shall be subject to the review and approval of the
Appearance Commission, the petitioner brought portions of the proposed changes to the
Appearance Commission on June 11, 2025 and complete proposed changes to the Appearance
Commission on November 12, 2025. Certificates of Appropriateness were issued on both
occasions.

Staff has reviewed the site plan approval modification request. Staff has no objections to the
request and recommends that the Petitioner’s request be approved to amend site plan approval
ordinance 24-4-Z-4683 to modify the site plan at 5202-5250 Old Orchard Road to reflect the
current ownership and according to the attached proposed plan set dated November 20, 2025.

 OLD ORCHARD TOWERS

 APPLICATION FOR MODIFIED REVIEW

 DECEMBER 19, 2025

 STATEMENT OF EFFECTS

 The subject property is located at 5202-5250 Old Orchard Road and is commonly known as the
“Old Orchard Towers” (the “Property”). The Property is improved with two mostly vacant office buildings,
the Block Center for Integrative Cancer Treatment in a separate concourse building, a parking garage and
a surface parking lot. On April 15, 2024, the Village Board of Trustees passed Ordinance 24-4-Z-4683
(the “Approval Ordinance”) approving a site plan, a landscape plan and building elevations for, among other
things, the adaptive reuse of the aforesaid office buildings (referred to individually as the “South Tower” and
the “North Tower” and collectively as the “Project”) for multi-family residential use.
 The current owner of the Property is 5250 Old Orchard Road, LLC, an Illinois limited liability
company (the “Petitioner”). This entity has as its members principals or entities affiliated with
DIR Development About DIR Development - DIR Development.
 Lot 1 of the Property currently consists of the South Tower and the south half of the garage building,
and Lot 2 of the Property currently consists of the North Tower and the other half of the garage building.
 In furtherance of the plan to convert the Property to multi-family residential use, as contemplated
by the Approval Ordinance, the Petitioner now intends to convey, by a metes and bounds legal description,
Lot 2 and a portion of the garage building to a recently formed Illinois limited liability company--5250 Old
Orchard Apartments, LLC--which has as its members principals or entities affiliated with DIR Development
and principals or entities affiliated with Belgravia Group Belgravia Group | New Developments in Chicago.
At this time, the Petitioner intends to retain title to Lot 1 and the remaining portion of the garage building.
The garage building, which contains more than the 518 off-street parking spaces required by the Approval
Ordinance, will be encumbered by a declaration that creates shared access and cross-parking easements
and establishes maintenance and utility cost sharing responsibilities.
 Finally, the Petitioner and the aforesaid recently formed limited liability company seek to be
identified as the parties benefited by an amended and restated approval ordinance which the Board of
Trustees considers through the Modified Review process.
 On June 11th, the Village’s Appearance Commission unanimously voted to grant a Certificate of
Appropriateness to the Petitioner to renovate the North Tower for residential use with minor modifications
to the elevations for the North Tower referenced in the Approval Ordinance. The changes that were
presented on that date contemplated reconfiguration of the balconies on the exterior of the North Tower
and minor modifications to previously submitted floor plans for the North Tower to relocate the bike storage
from the garage to the first floor and relocate to higher floors units which were initially proposed to be
created on the first floor. There was no change to the total number of dwelling units the Approval Ordinance
approved for the North Tower (125) or balconies as a result of these changes.
 Thereafter, Petitioner encountered several issues which prevented commencement of the
approved renovations and prompted further discussions with Village staff. The Petitioner subsequently
submitted a new application to the Village requesting Appearance Commission consideration of
modifications to the site plan and landscape plan for the Project and for the renovation of the South Tower
for residential use, again with minor modifications to the elevations for that building referenced in the
Approval Ordinance. The South Tower, if converted to multi-family residential use, will include 120 dwelling
units, as contemplated by the Approval Ordinance.
 On November 12th, the Appearance Commission unanimously voted to grant a Certificate of
Appropriateness to the Petitioner for the South Tower if it is converted to multi-family residential use, and
for the modified site plan and landscape plan, with two requested plan revisions which the Petitioner
subsequently incorporated into its plans.
 The modified plans contemplate identical revisions to the elevations and floor plans for the North
Tower and South Tower, the removal of the amenity deck from the roof of the garage that sits between the
 Return to top of 3M



North Tower and the South Tower due to structural concerns 1 and the removal of the green screen on the
sides of the garage, the addition of recreational amenities at the ground level of the Property adjacent to
the perimeter of the existing garage structure and on the first floor of the North Tower and the South Tower,
the removal of 35 parking spaces along the perimeter of the garage to accommodate those amenities, and
the addition of landscape plantings along the northwest elevation of the garage for added screening.
 Section 29 of the Approval Ordinance states that any modification to the approved elevations and
landscaping plan shall be subject to review and approval by the Skokie Appearance Commission. It is for
that reason that the Petitioner appeared before that commission on June 11th and November 12th. The
modified site plan, landscape plans and building elevations substantially conform to those approved by the
Approval Ordinance. There will be no negative impacts to surrounding property values, traffic conditions,
public utilities, stormwater management requirements, or other matters pertaining to the public health,
safety, morals and general welfare of the surrounding community as a result of the redevelopment of the
Property pursuant to the modified plans.
 In addition to seeking approval of its desired plan changes, the Petitioner is proposing to advance
the Village’s goals with respect to the creation of new affordable housing opportunities in Skokie by making
a $1,000,000 affordable housing contribution to the Village. The Petitioner will pay the Village $400,000
upon Village issuance of a building permit to undertake the North Tower building improvements, and it will
pay $600,000 upon Village issuance of a building permit to undertake improvements which will convert the
South Tower to multi-family residential use. It should be noted that, with respect to the North Tower, the
Approval Ordinance contemplated neither a monetary contribution for affordable housing nor the provision
of affordable housing units in the building and, with respect to the South Tower, the Approval Ordinance
required no monetary contribution for affordable housing, but it did contemplate the reservation of 5% of its
units as affordable housing units, for a period of 25 years, for families making 120% of the Area Median
Income. The Petitioner now proposes to pay the fee described above in lieu of the provision of these
affordable units.
 Finally, since the division of the garage and the conveyances described above would fall under
exemptions in the Illinois Plat Act, since the Property has already been subdivided, and since no new
buildings are being constructed on the Property, the Petitioner is requesting that the Board of Trustees
waive the requirements of Section 94.5 .of the Village’s Subdivision Ordinance which would require the
preparation and recording of a plat of resubdivision.
 Based on the foregoing, the Petitioner respectfully requests Board of Trustees adoption of an
ordinance amending the Approval Ordinance to (i) approve the Petitioner’s modified site plan, landscape
plans, building elevations and floor plans, (ii) provide for the Petitioner’s payment of the affordable housing
contribution described above in lieu of the provision of any affordable units in the South Tower; (iii) identify
the Petitioner and the aforementioned recently formed limited liability company as the parties benefited by
an amended and restated approval ordinance; and (iv) waiving the requirements of Section 94.5 of the
Village’s Subdivision Ordinance to the extent they might apply to the plan of redevelopment described
above.




1 A memorandum prepared by the structural engineering firm Thornton Tomasetti, Inc. which discusses the load limits

of the garage roof has been shared with Village staff.

 1 WHEREAS, the Developer has planned this project to be an adaptive reuse of the
 2 property, which avoids the demolition of the buildings on the property and the impact, such as
 3 landfill, which would result; and
 4 WHEREAS, additionally, the Developer is planning to retain the existing clinic at 5230
 5 Old Orchard Road and convert the upper deck of the existing parking garage into a partial
 6 recreational green space for the residential tenants; and
 7 WHEREAS, the residential mix in the north and south towers will be nearly identical
 8 consisting of studio, one, two and three-bedroom units; and
 9 WHEREAS, the site plan contemplates improvements to the garage including EV
10 charging stations. Guest parking will be located on the ground floor of the garage as well as
11 outdoor spaces; and
12 WHEREAS, the Skokie Plan Commission, at a public hearing duly held on December 7,
13 2023: (i) determined that proper legal notice had been achieved; (ii) made the appropriate
14 findings of fact in the affirmative, as required under Section 118-6(g) of the Skokie Village Code;
15 and (iii) voted to recommend to the Mayor and Board of Trustees that the requested site plan
16 approval be granted subject to the conditions contained in the Plan Commission Report dated
17 March 18, 2023; and

18 WHEREAS, the Mayor and Board of Trustees, at a public meeting duly held on March
19 18, 2024, voted to concur in the aforesaid recommendations and findings of fact of the Skokie
20 Plan Commission by a vote of 3-2 in favor. However, pursuant to the Skokie Village Code, a
21 motion before the Village Board must have 4 affirmative votes to pass and therefore, the Skokie
22 Plan Commission case was not approved; and

23 WHEREAS, the Mayor and Board of Trustees, at the next public meeting duly held on
24 April 1, 2024, on a motion to reconsider, voted to concur in the aforesaid recommendations and
25 findings of fact of the Skokie Plan Commission by a vote of 5-1 in favor. (It was determined
26 upon clarification of the identity of the Developer, that the previous recusal by one of the Trustees
27 was not necessary); and

28 WHEREAS, while the Village has not adopted an affordable housing ordinance which
29 would govern this project, the Developer has agreed to designate 5% of the units in the
30 south tower as affordable housing at 120% AMI for 25 years; and

31 WHEREAS, it has also been determined by the Corporation Counsel, that it is in the best
32 interest for legislative economy that Village Ordinances 10-11-Z-3796 and 15-7-Z-4156,
33 constituting the previous site plan approval and amendments for this property, be repealed.
34 This action was also recommended by staff in the report dated December 7, 2023 to the Plan
35 Commission, but was inadvertently not included in the Plan Commission’s case
36 recommendations to the Mayor and Board of Trustees.

37 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Mayor and Board of Trustees of the
38 Village of Skokie, Cook County, Illinois:

Plan Commission Report 5050 Church Street
Village Board Council Chambers, 7:30 PM January 20, 2026


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman
Re: 2025-16P: Special Use Permit
 2025-17P: Site Plan Approval

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND ANALYSIS
At the October 16, 2025, meeting of the Plan Commission, the request from Holy
Apostolic Catholic Assyrian Church of the East Diocese of North America for a site plan
approval amendment that includes an expansion of the existing building to allow for the
relocation of the existing religious assembly use from the gymnasium into a dedicated
space at the north end of the building, the construction of a new façade and dedicated
entrance at the west end of the relocated religious assembly use, minor modifications to
the existing landscaping and parking lot striping at 5050 Church Street in a B2
Commercial zoning district was recommended as APPROVED by a vote of 8 ayes and 0
nays, with 1 member absent. The petitioner’s request for a special use permit for a
religious assembly use was also recommended as APPROVED by a vote of 8 ayes, 0
nays, and 1 member absent.
The requests include the following:
 • The construction of a 1,536-square-foot addition to the northeast corner of the
 existing building and the remodeling of the north portion of the building
 (formerly the location of the Mayer Kaplan Jewish Community Center’s pool) that
 will allow the Mar Sargis Parish to relocate from the building’s gymnasium that it
 has been utilizing for several years. A new vestibule will be constructed on the
 west side of the building and function as the main entrance to the church. The
 6,658-square-foot worship space will contain movable seating for 300
 parishioners, a sacristy, an office, and two powder rooms. A staircase and
 elevator will be installed and provide access to a mezzanine in the worship space
 as well as to a quiet room and a choir room.
 • The implementation of a shuttle bus service that will provide access to an
 additional 125 parking spaces at Assyrian National Council of Illinois (ANCI),
 located at 9131 Niles Center Road.
 • The planting of additional landscaping throughout the subject site.
 • The installation of new bicycle racks near the main entrance of the building and
 also the new entrance to the church.

The Plan Commission concurred with staff’s recommendation to grant the site plan
approval and the special use permit, subject to the attached conditions.

Code Information
Per Section 118-58 of the Village Code, site plan approval is required for the
development, redevelopment, or modification of buildings and structures or site plan
modifications of sites 1 acre or larger in size in the OR Office Research District and all
business, mixed-use and residential districts.
Per Appendix A of the Village Code, religious assembly uses require a special use permit
in the B2 Commercial zoning district. The Plan Commission has the duty to make
recommendations, including any conditions of approval, to the Village Board for site plan
approvals and special use permits per Sections 118-6(d)(8) and 118-6(d)(9),
respectively, of the Village Code. Each request for a site plan approval and special use
permit must be consistent with the findings of fact enumerated in Sections 118-6(f) and
118-6(g), respectively, of the Village Code.

ADDITIONAL PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
Commissioner discussion centered around the subject site being able to provide
adequate on-site and off-site parking for the users of the facility, especially during
events that draw a larger number of people. Commissioners and staff both explained
that they were aware of attendees parking illegally along Church Street and on private
properties in the immediate area instead of utilizing the shuttle service from the
overflow parking lot at ANCI.
One commissioner questioned staff as to how the illegal parking would be enforced,
and staff responded that enforcement would be handled by the police. Enforcement
letters and tickets would be sent by Village staff to the church for matters related to
attendees parking without permission on private property. Staff stated that the church
leadership needs to clearly communicate the need to utilize the approved off-site
parking lot to service attendees.
Another commissioner asked if the new elevator that will be installed meets life safety
requirements and whether any other elevators are currently present in the building.
Staff responded that the new elevator would meet current requirements and that the
building currently has an elevator.

LEGAL NOTICE AND PUBLIC COMMENT
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to all property owners in
the area of the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. One individual
submitted a letter expressing concern regarding parishioners parking illegally in their
business parking lot. Another individual living in the neighborhood spoke at the

meeting, stating that parishioners have parked along his block on several occasions and
he has not been able to park on the street near his home at those times.

Click here for the meeting minutes

Subsequent to the Plan Commission meeting, Village staff continued to observe service
attendees parking along both sides of Church Street during Sunday mass as well as
within the private parking lot at the House of Rental property at 5115 Church Street.
Church Street is maintained by the Cook County Department of Transportation and has
recently been resurfaced. The existing striping pattern is being reconfigured to add
bike lanes in both directions, which will further prohibit the practice of on-street parking
within the immediate area of the subject site. On-street parking is available on Church
Street to the west of Terminal Avenue but is utilized mainly by the residents in that area
as well as by another religious assembly use.
Staff and the petitioner have been in regular communication with regards to off-site
parking issues and the petitioner has recently taken several measures to lessen its
traffic impacts on the neighborhood, including:
 • Elimination of large post-service gatherings
 • Reduction of Sunday events
 • Limiting the use of the fellowship hall
 • Redirection of overflow attendance to other parishes
 • Ongoing parking compliance reminders during services
 • On-site police monitoring during services
A copy of the letter outlining these efforts is included in the attachments below.
Additional conditions identified since the time that the case was heard by the Plan
Commission are proposed for the Village Board’s consideration. They are as follows:
 Site Plan Approval (case 2025-17P)
 • If the off-site parking location changes at any time in the future, a covenant for
 shall be required for the new location.
 Special Use Permit (case 2025-16P)
 • Upon completion of interior reconfigurations and establishment of occupancy of
 the new worship area, the occupant loads for the theater, fellowship hall, and
 gymnasium shall in no way authorize usage of said spaces for satellite worship
 services.
 • For the purpose of accommodating any large special event in which the parking
 needs for the event are unable to be met by both the parking provided at the
 subject site and at the approved off-site parking location, the petitioner shall
 submit to the Village in advance and receive approval for a special event
 application that includes an agreement for an additional off-street vehicle parking
 facility located within one mile of the subject site.

Plan Commission Report 2025-19P: Special Use Permit
Village Board Council Chambers, 7:30 PM January 20, 2026


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman
Re: 2025-19P: Special Use Permit
 7550 Linder Avenue

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND ANALYSIS
At the November 20, 2025, meeting of the Plan Commission, the request from Gandhi
Group, LLC, for a special use permit for a limited retail use, plus relief from §118-
171(1)e in order to provide a limited retail use that exceeds 10% of the total floor area,
at 7550 Linder Avenue in an M1 Office Assembly Industry zoning district was
recommended as APPROVED by a vote of 8 ayes and 0 nays, with 1 member absent.
The request includes the following:
 • The legalization of an existing 1,910-square-foot retail sales area that the
 petitioner has been operating since February of 2024. The retail sales area
 contains displays of packaged dry goods, refrigerated prepared food and
 beverages, cooking utensils and equipment, and health and beauty supplies, as
 well as a checkout counter.
 • The installation of a bike rack and the placement of a trash receptacle within an
 area to the east of the building and south of the existing 20-space parking lot.

The Plan Commission concurred with staff’s recommendation to grant the special use
permit, subject to the attached conditions, as amended.


Code Information
Per Section 118-171(1)e of the Village Code, except for specifically listed retail uses,
retail sales of goods that are manufactured, processed, or wholesaled on the premises
may be allowed with a special use permit. The retail use cannot exceed the lesser of
5,000 square feet or 10% of the total gross floor area. Parking requirements must be
met for the retail portion of the operation. The Plan Commission has the duty to make
recommendations, including any conditions of approval, to the Village Board for special
use permits per Section 118-6(d)(9) of the Village Code. Each request for a special use
permit must be consistent with the findings of fact enumerated in Section 118-6(f) of
the Village Code.

ADDITIONAL PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
One commissioner expressed concern over the loose trash observed in the area and
asked that the site be patrolled for litter every 4 hours in accordance with code
requirements and noted interest in adding a condition as reiteration.
Another commissioner questioned the delay between the time the retail operation
began in 2024 and now requesting the special use permit. Staff responded that an
enforcement letter was sent to the petitioner earlier in 2025 when the retail operation
was discovered by the Village. The petitioner explained that he was unaware of the
requirement for the special use when he opened the business to the public.

LEGAL NOTICE AND PUBLIC COMMENT
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to all property owners in
the area of the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. No one from the
public spoke regarding the case.

APPEARANCE COMMISSION
No modifications are being made to the building or signage at the subject site that
require Appearance Commission review.

Presentations and Reports

Report of the Village Manager
 a. Recommendation for Adoption of Ordinance for Short Term Rentals (STR).
Village Manager John Lockerby noted that staff had been working on restructuring short-term
rentals within the village based on prior board discussions and recommended the board authorize
the ordinance to regulate STRs through a license process balancing neighborhood preservation
with community serving uses.
Community Development Director Johanna Nyden presented the need for regulation, citing life
safety—ensuring residential units meet safety standards—and neighborhood livability, including
preserving character, limiting units per block, and creating accountability and enforcement
mechanisms.

The proposed ordinance included: owner-occupied STRs would be allowed (must be primary
and legal residence)
 Investor-owned units would be grandfathered if already registered as rentals
 7 consecutive day minimum stay
 Limited to 1 per block face or block
 Initial operator license and unit registration required with associated fees
 12-month probationary period with maximum 12 stays
 After probation, up to 18 stays annually if in compliance
 Required training program and inspections

Trustee Schechter asked about the types of complaints received. Director Nyden explained they
were largely from investor-owned properties with issues including parking concerns, trash
placement, visitors going to wrong homes due to unclear advertising, and visitors not knowing
local rules like snow parking regulations.
Mayor Tennes added that complaints to her office included disruptions at all hours from renters
unable to find properties and issues with alternate side parking compliance, which is crucial for
emergency vehicle access.
Trustee Schechter asked if we have the staff capacity to do this enforcement on top of all the
other enforcement.
Village Manager Lockerby noted that the Building Department is under review by an outside
consultant and that additional staff may be recommended, so current staff may not be able to
fully absorb the proposed workload.
Trustee Iverson inquired about how the ordinance would address these issues. Director Nyden
confirmed the code would require photographs of the property front clearly showing the address,
information about local rules posted in units, and training to cover these concerns.
Trustee Iverson noted the fees seemed high. Director Nyden explained the fees reflected the
labor-intensive nature of oversight, including inspections by multiple departments, software
tools, tax collection monitoring, and legal involvement.
Trustee Robinson thanked staff and suggested considering this as a pilot program, proposing they
follow it as written through to learn from the experience before codifying it into an ordinance.
Mayor Tennes supported the pilot idea but suggested a longer timeframe possibly 12-24 months.
Mayor Tennes noted the ordinance was written with a mindset similar to liquor licensing,
emphasizing the importance of protecting the integrity of residential neighborhoods.
Trustee Pure Slovin disagreed with the 7-day minimum, 7 days is a burden on the families that
need to rent them, suggesting 5 consecutive days instead.


637560
 13955
Meeting of the Mayor and Board of Trustees
Tuesday, January 20, 2026 Page Three 3

Mayor Tennes agreed that 5 days could be a reasonable compromise.
Trustee Lissa Levy emphasized the urgency: She wanted to know how quickly they could move
forward.
Corporation Counsel Stuart Weiss explained that to make the suggested changes (pilot program
and 5-day minimum), they would need to create a freestanding ordinance not intended to be
codified, with its own sunset provision. This revised ordinance could be brought back in two
weeks for adoption.

Public Comment on STRs:

Arnold Oskin recommended not grandfathering any STRs and keeping the 7-day minimum. He
described a nearby Airbnb’s impact on privacy, safety, and community well-being.
Lauren Grodnicki asked the board not to vote that night, asked for a resident-only working group
and highlighted waste, security, and condo short-term rental approval concerns.
David Dalka asked to delay action, noted temporary rental needs and address signage
enforcement issues.
Matt Jarvis spoke about the fee structure combined with stay limits.
Gordan Kalabic showed a video on his phone of a loud wedding with over 50 people at the STR
next to him.
After closing public comment, Mayor Tennes clarified that the grandfather clause would not
exempt existing STRs from the new rules - they would be subject to all regulations, fees, and
enforcement mechanisms. Mayor Tennes also confirmed there were caps on stays per year: 12
during probation, 18 thereafter.
Motion to request staff to develop a freestanding ordinance reflecting an 18-month pilot period
with written reports to the board at 6 and 12-month junctures with a final report at 18 months and
to modify the minimum stay from 7 to 5 days. This will come back to the board for consideration
on February 2nd, 2026.
Moved: Trustee Robinson Seconded: Trustee Pure Slovin
Trustee Schechter asked about the investor-owned properties and wanted more information about
how many would be grandfathered and whether they were the source of most complaints. Mayor
Tennes reiterated that investor-owned properties would be subject to all rules and could quickly
lose their licenses if non-compliant.

modified review procedure.

Meeting of the Mayor and Board of Trustees
Tuesday, January 20, 2026 Page Four 4

Motion to approve the petitioner’s request to amend site plan approval Ordinance 24-4-Z-4683
and to modify the site plan at 5202-5250 Old Orchard Road to reflect the current ownership and
according to the proposed plan set dated November 20, 2025.
Plan Commission Chairperson Paul Luke presented the modified review request from 5250 Old
Orchard LLC to amend the previously approved site plan for the mixed-use development. He
explained that he, the corporation counsel, and community development director had reviewed
the request and found it in substantial compliance with the original approval's intent.
The original approval from April 15, 2024, authorized adaptive reuse of two existing 7-story
office buildings to include office space and 245 residential units, conversion of the parking
garage upper deck to recreational space, addition of EV charging stations, and retention of the
existing clinic. The developer had agreed to designate 5% of south tower units as affordable
housing at 120% AMI for 25 years.

The requested modifications included:

  Minor facade changes and reconfiguration of exterior balconies
  Relocation of first-floor residential units to higher floors
  Removal of the amenity deck from the parking garage roof due to structural concerns
  Additional recreational amenities at ground level
  Removal of 35 parking spaces to accommodate amenities
  Additional landscaping along the garage's northwest elevation
  Modification to eliminate affordable units in favor of a $1 million contribution ($400,000
 with north tower permits, $600,000 with south tower permits)

Trustee Lissa Levy asked about the fee structure and timing of affordable units.
Developer Allen Lev responded that the project is a rehabilitation of existing buildings and that
high upfront costs made it financially marginal, while exceeding required contributions.
Mayor Tennes requested a modification to split the contribution evenly: $500,000 with north
tower permits and $500,000 with south tower permits, which the developer agreed to
accommodate.
Trustee Schechter asked why this wasn't returning to plan commission.
Director Nyden said this qualified as modified review with no intensity increase or cross-
easement issues.
Trustee Schechter said that 120% AMI would not constitute affordable housing in Skokie. Mr.
Lev acknowledged this but noted their adaptive reuse approach would still offer rents
"significantly less than the new projects like the Henry and Optima."
Trustee Kimani Levy asked about community notification and traffic concerns. Director Nyden
explained the original 2024 process included proper notification within 250 feet., and the traffic
study showed this would be less intense than office use. Mr. Lev confirmed the garage couldn't
support the added load of the amenity deck but was otherwise structurally sound.
Public Comment:
Deborah Wilson spoke about the lengthy timeline of the Old Orchard Road construction project
and encouraged stronger advocacy with IDOT.
David Dalka opposed to converting office buildings to residential and asked about a fourth
ambulance.
Lauren Grodnicki supported reuse of the building envelope and spoke about energy efficiency
concerns.
Mr. Lev stated the project would comply with all Illinois and Skokie energy codes but that
replacing the entire curtain wall would be cost-prohibitive. They were already modifying it to
add operable windows and balconies.
Motion to concur with modified review case 2025-03M with the change to split the million-
dollar fee 50/50.
