  Plan Commission Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, November 18, 2019

  To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
  From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairperson
  Re: 2019-31P: Site Plan Approval
 8110 Lincoln Mixed-Use

  PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
  During its October 17, 2019, meeting, the Plan Commission heard a request for a
  planned development in a CX Core Mixed-Use zoning district that includes a 4-story
  mixed-use building with 2,268 ft2 of commercial space, 18 upper-story residential units,
  covered parking, and storm water detention, as well as relief from §118-184(a) to allow
  a side yard setback less than 6’ but more than 0’ from the north and south lot lines.
  The site has been particularly difficult to develop because the lot is oddly shaped,
  making it difficult to meet all the standard zoning requirements. The demonstration
  project provision in §118-272(c)(6) of the Village Code allows the area of the residential
  parking areas to be subtracted from the floor area before the calculation of the FAR
  when the area is in a designated redevelopment district and meets the Village
  redevelopment goals. This provision reduces the area of the first floor by 5,100 ft2 so
  that the FAR requirement is met.
  There will be 19 vehicle parking spaces provided; 18 residential parking spaces and 5
  guest spaces are required. The 4-space difference will be accommodated through a
  $60,000 contribution to the Downtown Parking Fund. Additional contributions to the
  parking fund may be necessary depending on the commercial occupancy. Ample on-
  street parking on Lincoln is available to shorter-term customers with longer-term
  parking available in Village parking lots.
  Discussion from the Commissioners about this case included whether the units were
  intended to be owned or rented, potential occupancy in the commercial spaces,
  maintenance of the commercial storefront character of the street, how this
  development qualified as a demonstration project, and traffic circulation.
  Staff was supportive of the project including the relief for the 4-ft. side yards. The site
  is in the TIF district, but the applicant is not requesting any Village financial assistance.
  The height of the building is significantly less than then what is allowed in the district
  and just a few feet shorter than some of the new houses on Floral Avenue.
  A more detailed discussion of this case can be found in the attached meeting minutes.



  INTERESTED PARTIES
  Legal notice was advertised, posted, and delivered to property owners in the area as
  prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. Questions from the neighbors included the
VOSDOCS-#561774-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Reprt_for_2019-31P
 1 of 16
  justification for no vehicle access onto Lincoln Avenue, pedestrian safety and vehicle
  capacity in the alley adjacent to the site, whether a traffic study had been completed,
  building height, stormwater run-off, setbacks from adjacent buildings, construction
  staging, and traffic speed on Floral Avenue.
  Staff updated the neighbors on street and utility improvements in the area and the
  construction status of nearby projects and noted that an analysis done to examine
  traffic patterns from the 8000 North building going north and south toward to Oakton
  Street. It was determined that only a small amount of traffic will use Floral Avenue,
  and most will go to Oakton Street.
  The developer said that he understood the concerns of the neighbors and that IDOT
  caused the delay with the construction of the townhouse development. It is his
  experience that construction traffic will not use the alley because it would be too hard
  to turn, and Lincoln Avenue would more likely be used.

  APPEARANCE COMMISSION
  At its February 13, 2019, meeting, the Appearance Commission approved the proposed
  building (case 2019-001A), subject to a taller limestone band above the 1st floor
  windows, awnings above the storefront windows, 6 additional windows on the “tower”
  per the sketch presented at the meeting, the remaining east elevation windows be
  made wider, but not necessarily taller, and brick reveals on both side elevations and
  optional on the west elevation.

  PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
  The Plan Commission recommended, by a vote of 8 ayes, 0 nays, and 1 commissioner
  absent, that the petitioner’s request for site plan approval for a 1-lot demonstration
  project planned development in a CX Core Mixed-Use zoning district that includes a
  mixed-use building with covered parking and storm water detention, relief from §118-
  184(a) to allow a side yard setback of approximately 4’, as depicted on the final
  approved site plan, from the north and south lot lines rather than the required 6’, be
  APPROVED based upon the Positive Findings of Fact and subject to the Recommended
  Conditions listed below.

  PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL
  The Village owns the site at 8110 Lincoln Avenue. 8110, LLC, would like to get site plan
  approval for a 1-lot demonstration project planned development in a CX Core Mixed-Use zoning
  district that includes a 4-story mixed-use building with 2,268 ft2 of commercial space, 18 upper-
  story residential units, covered parking, and storm water detention. Relief from §118-184(a) to
  allow a side yard setback less than 6’ but more than 0’ from the north and south lot lines and
  any other relief that may be discovered during the review of this case.
  The total area of the building under roof is 34,778 ft2. The height to the top of the roof is 45’.
  Area of land to be dedicated to the Village counts as part of the land area prior to the
  dedication, yielding an FAR of 3.08. An area for public artwork is being provided at the front
  entrance of the building. The project is eligible for an FAR of 2.65; because of the irregular
  shape of the lot, it is not able to meet the commercial area needed to achieve the bonus for
  ground floor commercial, nor be able to provide efficient underground parking. At an FAR of
  2.65, 29,807 ft2 of building may be built.
  The demonstration project provision in §118-272(c)(6) of the Village Code allows the area of
  the residential parking areas to be subtracted from the floor area before the calculation of the
  FAR when the area is in a designated redevelopment district and meets the Village
  redevelopment goals. This provision would reduce the area of the first floor by 5,100 ft2, with
  the net building area being reduced to 29,678 and meeting the FAR requirement.

  STAFF ANALYSIS
  All pertinent departments and divisions were offered an opportunity to comment on this case.
  The Forestry, Engineering, Fire Prevention, and Planning Divisions provided comments on the
  subject case.


 Water and Sewer
 The Water and Sewer Division was not able to comment at this time because of the lack of
 civil drawings submitted with the application.


 Engineering Division


VOSDOCS-#561774-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Reprt_for_2019-31P

 The proposed plan indicates that 19 total vehicle parking spaces are provided. If the
 commercial spaces are filled with uses that are exempt from parking requirements
 (consumer goods sales, food establishments, health and personal care sales, and food
 services), then 23 vehicle spaces are required. This includes 18 spaces for the residences
 and 5 for guests. If non-exempt uses occupy the commercial spaces, then up to 4
 additional spaces may be required. Because of the prevalence of on-street and public
 parking lots in the area, variances may not be granted for parking in the X zoning districts,
 but payment into the Downtown Parking Fund in lieu is required. $60,000 is required at this
 time for the 4 spaces. $15,000 would be required for the 5th space and $24,000 for each
 space after that (or the current rate at the time of occupancy) if additional spaces are
 required. Once the credit is paid for the space, it would not need to be paid again for the
 life of the building.
 The guest parking space must only be used for residential guests. Since parking in the
 back/garage is only for residential use, then an ADA parking space is not needed. ADA
 parking spaces are only required for commercial parking areas. Remove the ADA parking
 space and convert it to a standard parking space.
 The owner should be aware that Lincoln Avenue is under IDOT jurisdiction and has a 2-hour
 parking restriction between 9 am and 6 pm. Further, there is no on-street parking in this
 area between 3 am and 5 am. The owner of the property should inform potential
 residential and commercial users of these restrictions. Longer term parking is available in
 Village lots.


 Planning Division
 Planning supports the proposed development, the relief for the side yards of approximately
 4’, and the designation of this proposal as a demonstration project planned development.
 The site is in a TIF district, and the Village purchased the site specifically for redevelopment.
 The very irregular shape of the lot has made efficient development very challenging. The
 proposal is maintaining the pedestrian character of the street and meets all other design
 guidelines for the zoning district.
 The bollards in the garage are a good safety precaution; however, their current placement
 restricts the ability of vehicles in parking spaces 1 and 9 to turn in order to exit the garage,
 the bollards should be repositioned to allow for a 5’ back out area at the end of the aisle.
 Also, to elaborate on Engineering’s comments with respect to the ADA parking spaces, if
 any commercial parking is provided then an ADA parking space is required. Since there are
 18 residential units and 19 parking spaces, if the 19th space is used for commercial
 purposes, then it could only be an ADA space; there would still be no standard parking
 space available for a commercial user. Making the 19th space a residential guest space,
 which is exempt from the ADA requirements, makes that 19th space available for more
 users.


  APPEARANCE COMMISSION
  At its February 13, 2019, meeting, the Appearance Commission approved the proposed building
  (case 2019-001A), subject to a taller limestone band above the 1st floor windows, awnings
  above the storefront windows, 6 additional windows on the “tower” per the sketch presented at
  the meeting, the remaining east elevation windows be made wider, but not necessarily taller,
  and brick reveals on both side elevations and optional on the west elevation.

 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes
 Date: October 17, 2019

  A motion was made by Commissioner Laxpati and seconded by Commissioner J. Burman to
  approve the video minutes of the October 3, 2019 Plan Commission meeting.


  Case Description
  2019-31P –Site Plan Approval: 8110 Lincoln Avenue
  The Village of Skokie, on behalf of 8110, LLC, requests site plan approval for a 1-lot
  demonstration project planned development in a CX Core Mixed-Use zoning district that
  includes a mixed-use building with covered parking and storm water detention, plus
  relief from §118-184(a) to allow a side yard setback of 2.1’ from the north and south lot
  lines rather than the required 6’, and any other relief that may be discovered during the
  review of this case.
  PINs: 10-21-409-024-0000 and 10-21-409-025-0000


  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.
  Mr. Zach Joseph, of 8110, LLC, presented the case. He is proposing a 4-story mixed-use
  development with 2 commercial spaces on the ground floor and 18 residential units above.
  Parking will be in the rear.
  A commissioner asked if the residential units were apartments or condos. Mr. Joseph stated
  that at first, they will be built as condos to test the market and see how it goes; possibly
  turning into rental apartments. He wants to maintain the residential character, so the retail
  spaces are small storefronts; they are best suited for professional uses.
  Another commissioner asked if the Village is requiring the storefront retail spaces. Mr. Joseph
  answered that the layout of the building is conducive to ground floor commercial, but they
  could be retail. The commissioner asked if the Village wasn’t requiring the storefront windows
  with no parking would he do it. The petitioner stated that Al’s Bike Shop, the daycare center,
  the auto use, and the residential building all have storefront windows. He wanted to keep the
  look consistent and that there is public parking across the street.
  The chairman asked if there are any prospects for the commercial spaces yet. Mr. Joseph
  stated nothing has been determined yet.
  Staff requested that the report be entered into the record as presented. The proposal is a
  demonstration project because the lot is odd-shaped making the redevelopment challenging
  and the higher FAR (due to the 4-ft. sideyards and subtracting the residential parking from the
  gross area). There will be 19 vehicle parking spaces provided; 18 residential parking spaces
  including 5 guest spaces are required. If the commercial spaces are filled with exempt uses like
  consumer goods, food establishments, or health and personal care sales, then 19 spaces are
  required. If office or other exempt uses uses fill the spots, then up to 4 additional spaces may
  be required. There is on-street parking and public parking lots in the area. Parking variances
  may not be granted in mixed-use zones; payment into the Downtown Parking Fund would be
  required.

  Staff is supportive of the project including the relief for the 4-ft. side yards. The site is in the
  TIF district, but is not requesting any Village funding.
  A commissioner wanted confirmation that the site is considered a demonstration project
  because the lot is not rectangular and the FAR is higher. He also inquired if the Appearance
  Commission approved the same design that is being reviewed by the Plan Commission. Staff
  stated that the Appearance Commission approved the same plans in February, 2019. He also
  asked if the Village is requiring that the ground floor have glass storefronts. The petitioner has
  a design and cabinet business in Morton Grove that might relocate to the site.
  Another commissioner wanted to be shown the pathway for cars coming out of the parking lot
  from the north and south. Staff stated that parking is under the building and reviewed the
  parking layout. The commercial spaces are not large enough to require parking in the back;
  therefore, commercial parking is on-street only. The parking spaces provided are allocated to
  residential only.
  Arnie Cohen, 8109 Floral, asked why there is no entry from Lincoln Avenue. Staff stated that
  the alley has been widened to 20 feet and has been improved with a hard surface so that it can
  be used for access. As the building is close to the sidewalk, it is safer to eliminate any conflict
  with pedestrians walking on Lincoln and cars. Mr. Cohen answered that it is riskier for
  pedestrians who walk and kids who play in the alley. Everyone in the houses on Floral uses the
  alley for garage entry. Has a count been made of the many people who walk back and forth
  and kids playing? Should people be prohibited from using the alley?
  Nathan Tanner, 8138 Floral, agreed that using the alley is unsafe. He also questioned the
  traffic study. There are 18 units from this development and the townhouses across the street;
  that is a lot to pack into the area. He commented that very little thought and consideration was
  put into this. He also questioned why they are going 4-stories high.
  Rich Diverde, 8115 Floral, was concerned with the traffic and density between this
  development, the townhouses and the apartment complex on Oakton & Floral. He thinks that
  traffic will be funneled down Floral Ave. He also asked about the sewer system on Floral. Staff
  answered that the single-family homes on Floral have tanks that drain to Floral. The
  townhomes have their own sewer and this development will drain to the vault on Lincoln. Floral
  Avenue will not be affected.
  Larry Binder of Al’s Bike Shop wanted verification of the 4-foot setback and the sidewalk from
  the property line to the building.
  Christine Anderson, 8115 Floral, commented that 34 new homes (these 18 units and the 16
  townhomes) are being constructed and will create more traffic in the alley. She asked about
  construction staging and where the trucks will be coming from – Lincoln or the alley. She also
  asked why the townhouses haven’t been completed yet.
  Staff answered that during the building permit process, construction staging will be addressed.
  He also pointed out that Traffic Engineering had no concerns when they reviewed the case.
  Most single-family homes don’t have an alley with an improved hard surface and widened alley.
  This alley was built as a commercial grade alley.
  The current townhome development has had some IDOT issues with storm drainage which held
  it up.
  Brian Morse, 8105 Floral, stated that he rather have a dirt alley. He is concerned with the
  density & traffic especially with the big building on Floral and Oakton. He asked staff if they
  can address speed issues on Floral Avenue.

VOSDOCS-#561774-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Reprt_for_2019-31P
 15 of 16
  Staff answered that the CX district is a high-density zone with building heights going up to 156
  ft. by right. The top of this proposed building will be just a little higher than the 3-story
  buildings on Floral. Utilities will be placed underground; the leaning pole, cable wires included.
  After that is completed, the development and Streetscape will each pay for a portion of the
  street repair. In spring, curbs will be fixed. Lighting will be extended to the park and parking
  will be available on both sides of the street to help the community and to slow traffic. There
  was an analysis done to examine traffic patterns from the 8000 North building going north and
  out to Oakton Street. It was determined that only a small amount of traffic will use Floral
  Avenue, and most will go to Oakton Street.
  In closing, Mr. Joseph said that he understands the concerns of the neighbors. IDOT caused
  the delay with the construction of the townhouse development. It is his experience that
  construction traffic will not use the alley because it would be too hard to turn. Contractor
  would most likely use Lincoln Avenue.


  Recommendations and Voting
  A motion to approve the request as presented was made for site plan approval for a 1-lot
  demonstration project planned development in a CX Core Mixed Use district that includes a
  mixed-use building with covered parking and storm water detention, plus relief to allow side
  yard setbacks of 4 feet.

Plan Commission Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, November 18, 2019


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairperson
Case: 2019-38P: Site Plan Approval
 Oakton Community College: 7701, 7739, and 7664 Lincoln Avenue; and 7801
 Terminal Avenue

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
Oakton Community College has prepared a 10- to 15-year master plan for its Skokie
Campus. Due to funding issues, the improvements are planned to be made in phases,
with the main circle entrance off Lincoln Avenue as the first area of focus. Security,
visibility, and safety improvements will be made with signage, lighting, and landscaping.
Parking is available in parking lots to the north and south of the building, and across the
street adjacent to Lincoln Avenue. The building has secondary entrances to its north,
west, and south sides. The college is near Downtown Skokie and is served by
sidewalks, bicycle facilities, and transit routes.
The Plan Commission is supportive of the petitioner’s request of improving the Oakton
Community College – Skokie Campus, using details that complement both the Des
Plaines Campus and the Skokie Campus design aesthetic. The flow of traffic will be
improved and the well-being of the faculty and students will be improved, including the
new shaded seating areas. The re-branded signage and design features will be the
start to enhancing the Skokie Campus.
It is recommended that the petitioner provides an easement for the Village’s 30” water
main that traverses the property, MWRD-based stormwater documentation, and tree
protection for existing trees where needed. In addition, the petitioner should contact
the Village Forester to discuss turf removal best practices, and must obtain proper
permits prior to the commencement of any work.
Per §118-58 of the Skokie Village Code, a 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.
The primary focuses of this request are Feature 1 (main entrance) and Feature 10 (turf
conversion, as it applies to the south driveway entrance). Both involve signs that were
approved by the Appearance Commission in September, but require relief from the Sign
Code. The proposed ground sign is 114.29 square feet per sign face, including the
concrete and metal features, exceeding the maximum allowed 35 square feet per sign
face; therefore, relief from §82-27(d)(2) is required. The canopy sign lettering will
project above the physical dimensions of the canopy; therefore, relief from §82-
22(b)(1) is required. Other existing exterior signs may or may not comply with the Sign
Code. Should any of them be damaged or replaced in the future, they shall comply
with the Village Code.

VOSDOCS-#561655-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2019-38P_-_SPA_school_-_7701_7739_7664_Lincoln_-_7801_Terminal.docx 1
A full site plan review will be necessary in the future via the full Plan Commission
review process. Comments for the planned future master plan phases are included in
the attached staff report. Items that should be addressed as part of this request
include:
 1. Remove the wheel stops that are currently stored in the triangular portion of the
 public alley to the west of the parking lot on the west side of Lincoln (7664
 Lincoln).
 2. Remove and replace the existing faded "no overnight parking" signs in the
 parking lot west of Lincoln Avenue.
 3. Remount/replace all shifted/missing concrete wheel stops along the east side of
 the parking lot west of Lincoln Avenue.
 4. Any new or replacement bicycle parking must be located and designed in
 compliance with §118-221 and §118-222 of the Village Code.
Commissioner comments included the need for front entrance improvements, ensuring
the new ground sign meets or exceeds site distance triangle requirements, and
preserving the grove of existing trees. In addition, trees should be added to the barren
parking lots in future master plan phases.


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 to be
proper and correct.
The residential neighbor at 4951 Brummel expressed concern regarding Lincoln and
Howard traffic, especially related to speed and volume. He asked about traffic-calming
measures, suggesting a turn lane, a traffic signal, and/or a pedestrian overpass. The
chairman replied that the Village can only control speeding, and anything else needs to
go through the State of Illinois and requires an IDOT permit.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
At its September 11, 2019, meeting, the Appearance Commission approved the
proposed signage (case 2019-049A) as presented.


PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommended, by a vote of 8 ayes, 0 nays, and 1 absent, that
the petitioner’s request for site plan approval to make improvements to the main
entrance area of Oakton Community College at 7701, 7739, and 7664 Lincoln Avenue,
and 7801 Terminal Avenue, in TX Transit Mixed-Use and R2 Single-Family zoning
districts, be APPROVED, based upon the Plan Commission Positive Findings of Fact
and subject to the recommended site plan approval conditions below.

VOSDOCS-#561655-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2019-38P_-_SPA_school_-_7701_7739_7664_Lincoln_-_7801_Terminal.docx 2
The Plan Commission further recommends relief from §82-27(d)(2) to allow a ground
sign greater than 35 s.f. per face (70 s.f. total), and §82-22(b)(1) to allow lettering to
project above the physical dimensions of a canopy.

SITE INFORMATION
 General
 The existing school’s main entrance is located off Lincoln Avenue, with secondary
 entrances to the north, west, and south sides of the building.
 Parking is available in parking lots to the north and south of the building, and across
 the street adjacent to Lincoln Avenue.




 Complete Streets
  The property is south of Downtown Skokie. Sidewalks are available around the
 perimeter of, and on, school grounds. Consider the needs of the visually- and
 hearing-impaired when making improvements to the site.
  Bicycle facilities include the Skokie Valley Trail to the east (with a direct
 connection to the campus), a bike route on Niles Avenue, and bike lanes on
 Howard Street. Bike lanes are planned for Lincoln Avenue in the future.
  CTA Bus Route 97 and Pace Bus Routes 210 and 226, are nearby bus routes
 serving Oakton Community College, and the Oakton-Skokie CTA Yellow Line
 Station is located 0.40 miles north of the campus.
  The site is within walking distance of other businesses, services, and shopping.
 Consider the needs of those who may access the site with transportation options
 other than a motor vehicle.
  Access to the subject site is available via Niles Avenue and Lincoln Avenue.
 Limited emergency access (and an informal pedestrian access) may be available
 from Skokie Boulevard and the Skokie Valley Trail.


STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioners’ Submittal
 The Main Entrance project for Oakton Community College – Skokie Campus, will provide
 many benefits to the Village of Skokie. The proposed terrace design is configured in such a
 way that, not only will the flow of traffic be improved, the well-being of the faculty and
 students will improve as well with the proposed new shaded seating areas. The re-branded
 signage and addition of high-quality pavers will help build character for the campus, as well
 as increase the property value. In conclusion, all of the additions and changes in store will
 positively impact the community.

Comments
Staff Comment and Review requests were sent to all pertinent departments and were
received from Water & Sewer, Civil Engineering, Forestry, and Planning. All other
departments and divisions did not submit comments regarding the subject case.


 Water & Sewer
 Please provide an easement for the Village's 30" water main. Water main runs
 east/west under main entrance canopy. Water main needs to be potholed prior to
 excavation.
 [Note: “Potholing” is also known as “daylighting”, where test holes are dug to
 existing underground utilities, such as a water main, to identify their specific
 horizontal and vertical locations.]


 Civil Engineering
 Provide a copy of the MWRD permit/letter of determination.
 Obtain a Village paving permit prior to commencing site improvements.


 Forestry
 A tree removal permit is required prior to demo. There is only one tree slated for
 removal that is >8" DBH. It is a 16" river birch with chlorosis. Normally the payment
 for this size tree is $1,200. A reduced payment of $600 is still required. This will be
 reimbursed once the new trees are planted back.
 Tree protection fencing is required for site trees in a construction project. The plan
 looks good for the entrance area; however, protection is needed for the trees near
 the monument sign by the street.
 According to the landscape plan plant list, four shade trees are to be planted. The
 plan does not show where these trees are to be planted.
 Several of the trees to be saved are declining & chlorotic river birch to the right of
 the entrance. Some of them have already been removed. The remaining trees will
 not survive the construction and should be removed. The bond would be reduced or
 exempt. I recommend replacing them with an upright oak or other upright specie
 tolerant of high pH soils. River birches are not tolerant of these soils.
 When implementing any of the plan phases, please avoid the use of herbicides as
 much as possible. Contact the Village Forester to discuss best practices options.

 Planning Division
 The Planning Division is supportive of the petitioner’s request of improving the
 Oakton Community College campus.
 Per §118-58 of the Skokie Village Code, a 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.
 The primary focuses of this request are Feature 1 (main entrance) and Feature 10
 (turf conversion, as it applies to the south driveway entrance). Both involve signs
 that were approved by the Appearance Commission in September, but require relief
 from the Sign Code:
  Ground sign. The proposed ground sign is 114.29 square feet per sign face,
 including the concrete and metal features, exceeding the maximum allowed
 35 square feet per sign face; therefore, relief from §82-27(d)(2) is required.
  Canopy sign. The canopy sign lettering will project above the physical
 dimensions of the canopy; therefore, relief from §82-22(b)(1) is required.
  Other existing exterior signs may or may not comply with the Sign Code.
 Should any of them be damaged or replaced in the future, they shall comply
 with the Village Code.


 A full site plan review will be necessary in the future via the full Plan Commission
 review process. Comments for the planned future master plan phases include:
 1. Prepare an exterior master sign plan for the entire Skokie campus.
 2. Coordinate a pedestrian-friendly north parking lot gateway at, and a walkway
 connection to, the intersection of Lamon Avenue and Mulford Street.
 3. Balance the evergreen/large shrub wind screening with the need for visibility
 and surveillance between the north parking lot and the building.
 4. Maximize on-site bike parking convenient to the building entrances. The next
 phase of the master plan will necessitate additional bicycle parking that
 complies with §118-221 and §118-222 of the Village Code. The bicycle
 parking requirement for schools is 10% of the number of students.
 5. Provide a tree inventory, tree preservation plan, and landscape plan for the
 entire campus.
 6. One parking lot tree is required for every 15 parking spaces. Consider
 planting parking lot trees within the eastern and western landscape islands
 within the southern parking lot.
 7. The triangular portion of the public alley to the west of the parking lot on the
 west side of Lincoln (7664 Lincoln) should be vacated and conveyed from the
 Village to Oakton Community College. Once vacated, the pavement should
 be removed and replaced with landscaping. The Village will file the vacation.

 Items that should be addressed as part of this request include:
 1. Remove the wheel stops that are currently stored in the triangular portion of
 the public alley to the west of the parking lot on the west side of Lincoln
 (7664 Lincoln).
 2. Remove and replace the existing faded "no overnight parking" signs in the
 parking lot west of Lincoln Avenue.
 3. Remount/replace all shifted/missing concrete wheel stops along the east side
 of the parking lot west of Lincoln Avenue.
 4. Any new or replacement bicycle parking must be located and designed in
 compliance with §118-221 and §118-222 of the Village Code.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
At its September 11, 2019, meeting, the Appearance Commission approved the
proposed signage (case 2019-049A) as presented.


STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS

Single-Family zoning districts, be APPROVED, based upon the Proposed Positive
Findings of Fact and subject to the recommended site plan approval conditions below.
Staff further recommends relief from §82-27(d)(2) to allow a ground sign greater than
35 s.f. per face (70 s.f. total), and §82-22(b)(1) to allow lettering to project above the
physical dimensions of a canopy.

 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes
 Date: October 17, 2019

A motion was made by Commissioner Laxpati and seconded by Commissioner J.
Burman to approve the video minutes of the October 3, 2019 Plan Commission meeting.


Case Description
2019-38P –Site Plan Approval: 7701, 7739, and 7664 Lincoln Avenue; and
 7801 Terminal Avenue
The Board of Trustees of Oakton Community College requests site plan approval in a TX
Transit Mixed-Use zoning district and an R2 Single-Family zoning district that includes a
college campus, plus relief from §82-27(d)(2) to allow a ground sign greater than 35
s.f. per face (70 s.f. total); §82-22(b)(1) to allow lettering to project the physical
dimensions of a canopy, and any other relief that may be discovered during the review
of this case.
PINs: 10-28-221-001-0000, 10-28-221-032-0000, 10-27-100-011-0000, 10-28-227-037-
0000, 10-28-221-003-0000


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.
Mr. Gabriel Wilcox, architect from Farr Associates on behalf of Oakton Community
College presented the case. In his overview, he referred to the entire master plan
which covers the next 10-15 years of planning for the college. Improvements were
made to the Des Plaines campus previously and now they would like to make
enhancements to the Skokie location to link the 2 campuses together. Due to funding
issues, these improvements will be done in phases; the first area of focus will be to
upgrade the security, visibility, and safety of the main circle entry with signage, lighting,
and landscape changes.
The current signage is old, outdated and out of warranty. They would like to maintain
the current height of the sign but need relief to exceed the area from 35 sq. ft. to 113
sq. ft. of sign face. The canopy sign lettering will project above the physical dimensions
of the canopy and therefore, relief will also be needed.
A commissioner asked what the signage looks like at the Des Plaines campus. The
signage is a rust-looking copper sign to compliment the woods while the Skokie sign is
more modern and urban with a gray metal look to match the building.
Staff requested that the report be accepted into the record as written. Site plan
approval is required because the site is greater than 1 acre. Relief is needed for the

561363
ground sign as well as the canopy sign. The sidewalks surrounding the site access the
multi-use trail and lead to downtown.
In their comments, Water & Sewer are requesting an easement for the water main
running through the site. The water main will be located via “potholing” or
“daylighting” (digging holes to identify the horizontal & vertical locations of the existing
water main).
Forestry has recommended not using herbicides and to contact them for best practices
regarding turf removal. Tree protection is needed for the ones near the monument
sign. During Phase 1, turf will be removed at the south driveway entrance.
Planning is supportive of the requested relief for the larger than allowed ground sign
and the lettering projecting above the canopy. However, they will require a full site plan
review for future phases. It was noted that a pedestrian friendly gateway should be
coordinated with the north parking lot and the intersection of Lamon Avenue and
Mulford Street. A triangular portion of the alley west of the parking lot across the street
on Lincoln Avenue should be vacated and given to the college in the future as well as
adding more bike parking to be in compliance with the Village Code. Lastly, Planning is
requesting the consolidation of all PINs into a single tax parcel and before plans are
submitted for building permits, a temporary construction vehicle and pedestrian
circulation plan should be included.
A commissioner commented that the front entrance can use improvements. He
inquired how far back the new monument sign will be as there have been numerous
accidents related to view. Staff answered that the new sign exceeds site distance
triangle requirements so there will be plenty of visibility.
Other commissioners noted the nice grove of existing trees hoping they will remain
untouched but the north and especially the south lots are barren and in need of shrubs
and trees. Adding plants is in the master plan but not to be done at this time.
Mark Kantrowitz, 4951 Brummel, is concerned with the Lincoln and Howard traffic. In
the evenings he witnesses speeding cars and waits for 20 cars to pass before he can
proceed. It is very challenging when going south to turn onto Howard. He asked about
putting traffic calming measures in place such as a turn lane, a signal at the
intersection, or a pedestrian overpass.
The chairman answered that the Village can only control speeding but anything else
needs to go through the State of Illinois and requires an IDOT permit. There is not
enough room for a traffic light at Niles Avenue and Lincoln. The request doesn’t meet
the criteria and the State of Illinois will not allow it.
Recommendations and Voting
A motion to approve the request as presented was made for site plan approval in a TX
Transit Mixed-Use district that includes a college campus, and relief to allow a ground
sign greater than 35 sq. ft. per face and to allow lettering to project above the physical
dimensions of a canopy.

Plan Commission Council Chambers, 8:00 PM November 18, 2019


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman
Case: 2019-39P: Zoning Map Amendment
 9328-9336 Skokie Boulevard

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its October 17, 2019 meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request of Post
Property Group, LLC, to amend the zoning map to change the zoning district for 9328-
9336 Skokie Boulevard from B1 Service Commercial to B3 Business. The petitioner
desires to rezone the subject site, which presently contains a multitenant commercial
building in order to match the existing zoning of the property to the north. The vacant
car wash to the north of the subject site (9340 Skokie Boulevard) will be remodeled into
a commercial space and both buildings will share a common façade. Additionally, the
existing parking lot configuration within the eastern portion of the subject site will be
extended northward along the east side of the 9340 Skokie property so that both
properties can share parking and driveways.
The Plan Commission concurred with Staff’s recommendation to grant the zoning map
amendment without discussion. Based on existing land uses and development trends
within the immediate area, the proposed B3 zoning is more suitable for the subject site
because the existing and proposed uses within the subject site accommodate a larger
consumer population in this significant commercial corridor than is provided for in the
B1 district, and the site does not directly abut properties in the R1, R2, and R3 districts.

INTERESTED PARTIES
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 interested parties
spoke regarding this case.

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING

The Plan Commission recommends by a vote of 8 ayes and 0 nays, with 1 member
absent, that the petitioner’s request to amend the zoning map to change the zoning
district for 9328-9336 Skokie Boulevard from B1 Service Commercial to B3 Business be
APPROVED, subject to the attached Proposed Positive Findings of Fact.

PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL
The petitioner is requesting to change the zoning district for 9328-9336 Skokie
Boulevard from B1 Service Commercial to B3 Business. The petitioners desire to rezone
the subject site, which presently contains a multitenant commercial building in order to
match the existing zoning of the property to the north. The vacant car wash to the
north of the subject site (9340 Skokie Boulevard) will be remodeled into a commercial
space and both buildings will share a common façade. Additionally, the existing parking
lot configuration within the eastern portion of the subject site will be extended
northward along the east side of the 9340 Skokie property so that both properties can
share parking and driveways.

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
 proposed zoning map amendment to allow for the proposed site plan approval for
 the planned development. Historically, uses occupying the subject have not met the
 intent of the existing B1 Service Commercial zone, which is to provide day-to-day
 shopping convenience for persons residing in the Village’s residential areas. B3
 Business is a more appropriate zone for the subject site because the existing and
 proposed uses within the subject site accommodate a larger consumer population in
 this significant commercial corridor than is provided for in the B1 district, and the
 site does not directly abut properties in the R1, R2, and R3 districts.
 The subject site was initially zoned A Single Family in 1946. At some point between
 1952 and 1956, the subject site was rezoned to B2 Commercial. In 1956, the
 subject site was rezoned to B1 Service Commercial.
 The existing building was constructed in 1962 as a furniture store and has been
 subdivided into multiple commercial spaces since that time. Prior to 1962, the
 property was undeveloped.
 Current surrounding uses include a vacant car wash, banks with drive-throughs, a
 motor vehicle parts and accessories store, a post office, a gift shop, a clothing store,
 clinics, a full service restaurant, a limited service restaurant, a cell phone store, a
 limited service restaurant with a drive-through, and vacant commercial spaces. The
 trend in development in the general area over the past 25 years has been toward
 commercial uses along both sides of Skokie Boulevard between Gross Point Road
 and Golf Road and multifamily residential uses to the northwest of the subject site.
