To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairperson
Case: 2016-29P: Site Plan Approval
 4817-4833 Oakton Street

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At the November 3, 2016, meeting, the Plan Commission reviewed a request for a site
plan approval for an existing 2-lot planned development at 4817-4833 Oakton Street in
a CX Core Mixed-Use zoning district. The reason for the request is to construct a 1,380
square-foot addition to the storage and loading dock area of the Aldi store, in an
existing paved area.
Other improvements include a new north façade for Aldi, parking lot surface
maintenance and lighting upgrades, and adjustments to the LaCrosse Avenue driveway
to better accommodate pedestrians, resulting in a slight decrease in impervious area.
The number of vehicle and bicycle parking requirements will be met with this proposal,
and landscape plan adjustments have been made. The parking lot is expected to be
milled, repaved, and restriped as part of this project.
A preliminary plat of dedication has been prepared, ensuring public sidewalk and traffic
signal infrastructure are located within public right-of-way on Oakton Street and
LaCrosse Avenue.
Post-Plan Commission meeting activities included the petitioners working with staff to
address the recommended site plan details while meeting corporate needs.
Providing public parking in the northwest corner of the site was discussed extensively
with Village and Aldi staff, to meet a customer parking shortage along the south side of
Oakton Street. Due to minimum corporate parking requirements and the expectation
that the new Aldi addition will increase its customer base, Aldi requested to defer for 2-
3 years the consideration of converting some of its private parking spaces to public
parking spaces to ensure there is enough parking for its customers. On a related issue,
plans are underway to convert 16 parking spaces in the Downtown employee parking
lot east of Walgreens from employee parking to 3-hour public parking in December. It
is believed that this would relieve the pressure for the need for public parking on the
east end of the Downtown in the immediate future. It is recommended that Village and
Aldi staff revisit their respective parking needs in late-2018 or 2019, per Aldi’s
requested timeline.




VOSDOCS-#506210-v2-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2016-29P_-_site_plan_approval 1
The outdoor shopping cart storage areas are existing, “grandfathered” conditions, and
per the request of staff, one of the Market Place corrals that was previously located in
the pedestrian walkway has been relocated to under the colonnade to create the
minimum 3’ pedestrian access needed in front of its store when the 4.5’ outdoor
seasonal/garden sales area is in use (case 2016-30P).


INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered as prescribed by the Zoning
Ordinance. No interested parties spoke at the meeting.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
The petitioner received a Certificate of Appropriateness (Case 2016-057A) at the
September 14, 2016), Appearance Commission meeting, subject to obtaining site plan
approval and relief for the oversized sign and a second sign on the north elevation.


PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommended, by a vote of 5 ayes, 0 nays, and 4 absent, that
the petitioner’s request for site plan approval for an existing 2-lot commercial
development with a new building addition at 4817-4833 Oakton Street in a CX Core
Mixed-Use district that includes 1 building be APPROVED, subject to the Plan
Commission Recommended Conditions and based upon the Plan Commission Positive
Findings of Fact. It is further recommended that relief be granted from Sec. 82-
27(c)(2) and Sec. 82-27(c)(3) of the Signs chapter to allow a second wall sign, and a
logo greater than 36” in height with a proportion exceeding 1/3 of the signable area.

SITE INFORMATION
  The Comprehensive Plan of Skokie, Illinois identifies the subject property as
 Pedestrian Oriented Mix, with the northern edge as Open Spaces (to provide a
 connection for the Skokie Valley Trail to a signalized intersection)
  Skokie Valley Trail’s primary route is on the Oakton Street sidewalk and alternate
 route is along LaCrosse Avenue, both officially crossing at the Oakton/LaCrosse
 signalized intersection.
  Public sidewalks run along Oakton Street and LaCrosse Avenue.
  The Oakton Street frontage of the subject property is a “retail street” per zoning
 regulations, where significant investment would necessitate the provision of a
 ground floor retail use at least 24’ in depth along Oakton Street.
  The subject site is accessed from 1 driveway along Oakton Street and 1 driveway
 along LaCrosse Avenue.
  The site is served by the CTA Yellow Line, CTA Bus Route 97, and Pace Bus
 Route 210.


STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioners’ Submittal
 The petitioners are requesting site plan approval for an existing 2-lot commercial
 development, including an approval for a relatively minor building addition within its existing
 loading dock area. The addition will be approximately 1,380 square feet and will provide
 additional room within the structure for storage- and retail-related activity for Aldi, Inc. The
 addition will have no impact on existing stormwater management facilities, as pavement is
 being replaced with rooftop, and the existing building setbacks to perimeter lot lines will not
 be reduced. In addition to the building expansion, per discussions with Village staff, some
 sidewalk and entrance apron improvements to the LaCrosse Avenue driveway are proposed
 to provide better pedestrian access to the site. The overall parking lot will be resurfaced
 and the light luminaires will be converted to environmentally-friendly LED lights. The Aldi
 façade will be upgraded for a fresher look, and Market Place on Oakton may consider
 upgrading its façade in the near future.
 The proposed improvements will result in a “new” look for the building and parking lot, and
 a more efficient operation within the Aldi store. The improvements will have a positive
 impact on the character of the neighborhood and surrounding property values.
 Improvements to the LaCrosse driveway will provide better direct access for pedestrians and
 allow for smooth traffic flow – there is no other impact on traffic conditions. Utilities to the
 building will remain unchanged. As mentioned previously, there is no impact on existing
 stormwater detention, and the driveway apron modification results in slightly less hardscape
 than exists today. There is no negative impact to public health, safety, morals, and general
 welfare of the community. The proposed project will be a welcome upgrade to the
 property.

Comments
Staff Comment and Review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments and were
received from the Engineering and Planning Divisions. All other departments returned
the sheets with no comments regarding the subject case.

 Engineering Division
 The Engineering Division reviewed the proposed site plan approval, and offers the
 following comments:
  Parking Spaces: 31 Aldi + 28 Market Place on Oakton = 59 total
 required (201 provided; requirement is met)
  Accessible Parking Spaces: 3 total required (4 provided; requirement is met)
  Bicycle Parking Spaces: 3 total required (4 provided; requirement is met)

 Items that need to be addressed as part of the development improvements:
  The parking lot should be milled, repaved, and restriped
  Provide a standard crosswalk in lieu of the “Continental” crosswalk on
 LaCrosse Avenue
  The ramps for the proposed crosswalk on LaCrosse Avenue should be
 constructed to ADA standards

 The Engineering Division recommends approval of the site plan if the above
 comments are addressed.

 Planning Division
 The Planning Division is supportive of the petitioners’ request, as modifications to
 the original development are minimal.
 Suggested modifications to the proposal include:
  Adding tree islands in the easternmost and westernmost rows of parking to
 ensure there is 1 tree for every 15 parking spaces.
  Updating the tree survey to create a landscape plan and plant list of all
 existing and proposed plantings on the subject property, including shrubs,
 perennials, etc.
  Relocating all shopping cart storage under the colonnade during the day and,
 at the tenant’s option, indoors overnight, ensuring a 5’ minimum pedestrian-
 only access to Aldi and a 3’ minimum pedestrian-only access to Market Place
 on Oakton from LaCrosse Avenue. Although the outdoor shopping cart
 storage is an existing condition, staff recommends improving upon existing
 conditions by improving on-site pedestrian access. Consideration should be
 given to narrowing the drive aisle to 24’ in front of the building, most notably
 in front of Market Place, providing an opportunity to widen the sidewalk.

 VOSDOCS-#505149-v1-Staff_Report_-_2016-29P_-_Site_Plan_Approval_-_4817-4833_Oakton
 3 of 8
  Dedicating portions of LaCrosse Avenue and Oakton Street where small
 slivers of existing public sidewalks are located on the subject site. The
 Oakton Street frontage is an official route of the Skokie Valley Trail (SVT) to
 cross Oakton at the LaCrosse signal.
 Suggested near-range accommodations include working with Village staff to provide
 2- or 3-hour public parking at the north end of the site, creating a fence opening at
 the northwest corner of the site, and establishing a public access easement on the
 subject property. In addition, it is recommended that a cross-access easement
 agreement be established between the subject property and the adjacent property
 to the east (4811 Oakton Street), to facilitate on-site traffic circulation and enable
 the consolidation of the existing access points on Oakton Street.
 Suggested long-range improvements would include constructing a new building at
 the northern end of the subject property.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
At its September 14, 2016, meeting, the Appearance Commission approved the
proposed building addition and wall sign package, including the oversized logo sign,
subject to obtaining relief. Ensure HVAC and dumpster screening is provided.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for site plan approval for an existing 2-
lot commercial development with a new building addition at 4817-4833 Oakton Street in
a CX Core Mixed-Use district that includes 1 building be APPROVED, based upon the
Proposed Positive Findings of Fact and subject to the recommended site plan approval
conditions below. Staff further recommends that relief be granted from Sec. 82-
27(c)(2) and Sec. 82-27(c)(3) of the Signs chapter to allow a second wall sign, and a
logo greater than 36” in height with a proportion exceeding 1/3 of the signable area.

RECOMMENDED SITE PLAN APPROVAL CONDITIONS

 right-of-way dedications along LaCrosse and Oakton to place public sidewalk in
 the public right-of-way. Consideration to narrowing the drive aisle to 24’ in front
 of the building, providing a wider sidewalk in front of Market Place on Oakton, is
 preferred. Illustrate truck turning radii on the site plan to ensure pedestrian and
 truck access can be appropriately accommodated.

Case Description

2016-29P – Site Plan Approval: 4817-4833 Oakton Street

Chicago Title Land Trust Co (TR) # 1110376 DTD, on behalf of Aldi, Inc. and Market
Place on Oakton, Inc., requests site plan approval for 4817-4833 Oakton Street in a CX
Core Mixed-Use district to allow the existing 2-lot commercial development with a new
building addition, and relief from Sec. 82-27(c )(2) to allow a second wall sign , Sec. 82-
27(c )(3) to allow a logo greater than 36” in height, and any additional relief that may
be discovered during the review of this case.

PINs: 10-28-204-007-0000 and 10-28-204-008-0000


Discussion and Interested Parties

Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to property owners in the
area as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. It was determined by Corporation Counsel
that notice was proper and correct.

Bob Gudmundson of RWG Engineering and Pete Thomas, construction manager from
Aldi presented the case. They displayed an overall site plan to explain their project.
They are proposing a minor addition to the store – a back room expansion for more
storage space. This addition doesn’t require more parking as building setbacks will not
be reduced. The existing loading dock will remain as is.

They have also worked with staff on improving the entrance apron from the LaCrosse
Avenue driveway; opening it up for traffic and pedestrian access. At 88 parking stalls,
Aldi’s parking requirement is met. Their portion of the parking lot will be re-surfaced
and re-striped. The front façade will be improved and “dressed-up” with current Aldi
branding.

A Plan Commissioner asked if just the Aldi side of the parking lot will be resurfaced then
what will happen with the other half of the 2-lot development. The petitioners stated
that they cannot speak for Market Place.

Staff requested that the report be accepted into the record as written. Aldi and Market
Place had discussions to improve the entire parking lot. According to the Village, 59
parking spaces are required for both establishments and 201 spaces are available. The
bike and handicapped spaces exist or will be provided.
505826 Plan Commission meeting minutes 11/3//16
The Planning Department noted that tree islands need to be added on the east and west
sides on the parking lot; the requirement states one for every 15 parking spaces. A 3-
foot pedestrian access way can be widened by narrowing the drive aisle to 24 feet.
There are 2 slivers of public sidewalk that are located on the subject site and should be
dedicated to the Village so that the entire sidewalk is in the public right of way.

Ideas were brought up from the Economic Development Division from local business
owners. They wondered if parking spaces could be freed up at the north end of the lot
to provide some public parking for neighboring businesses on Oakton Street and if a
cross access easement could be created with the building to the east at 4811 Oakton
Street.

The Appearance Commission approved the building addition and 2nd wall sign with an
oversized logo facing Oakton Street at its September 9th meeting.

A commissioner made an observation that when traveling by car going westbound on
Oakton Street, making a left turn just beyond the yellow line tracks; it is difficult to get
into the parking lot. The Community Development director responded that when the
downtown was redeveloped a few years ago, the sidewalks were widened and the “pork
chop” was removed from the lot to make vehicular movement better.

Another commissioner asked about a co-operative agreement with the merchants on the
south side of Oakton Street.

The petitioners were asked to remark on the staff recommendations. They have
concerns about the parking comments. Aldi has a corporate parking requirement of 85
parking stalls. They cannot spare any to give up for public parking – that is an issue for
a corporate decision. They may be able to consider a 2-3 hour time period however.
They will need to wait until the addition is put in and see how it works out, possibly 2-3
years.

They will need to work with staff on the shortening of the drive aisle as that is where
trucks come in.

George Londos, owner of Market Place on Oakton expressed no objection. His only
question was about the parking lot re-surfacing. The development is 4 acres: 2 acres
for each entity. There are 200 parking spaces in the lot. He wanted to know how it will
be worked out fairly for each party.


Recommendation and Voting

A motion was made to approve the request for site plan approval for 4817-4833 Oakton
Street and relief for a 2nd wall sign with an oversized logo facing Oakton Street. The
vote was 5 ayes and 0 nays with 4 commissioners absent.

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At the November 3, 2016, meeting, the Plan Commission reviewed a request for a
special use permit to allow outdoor seasonal/garden sales at 4817 Oakton Street in a
CX Core Mixed-Use zoning district.
The outdoor seasonal/garden sales display will consist of three 4.5’ deep display areas
with a 3’ walkway adjacent to the parking lot drive aisle. Per §118-212(i)(11)b. the
required sidewalk may be reduced in width to 3’ if the sidewalk abutting the parking
area is not in conflict with vehicular traffic maneuvers, including backup maneuvers.
The display areas will be in use in the spring, summer, and fall, as long as the weather
permits, approximately 6 or 7 months. Fresh flowers usually don’t last as long when
they are inside the store. Items are not displayed outside in the winter.
The existing “grandfathered” shopping cart storage has been relocated to under the
Market Place colonnade, as was recommended at the Plan Commission meeting on
November 3, to ensure the minimum pedestrian access is provided. During the winter
months, the Market Place carts are typically stored indoors overnight.
If Market Place desires to update its façade, create deeper outdoor seasonal/garden
sales display areas, and/or widen pedestrian access to 5’ in the future, a new sidewalk
or diagonal striped area shall be provided in front of the store, while maintaining a
minimum 24’ drive aisle and proper delivery truck access. This may be accomplished
with the approval of the Director of Community Development or designee.
Market Place will work with Aldi regarding the parking lot maintenance improvements,
and wants to ensure the arrangements are worked out fairly for each party.

INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered as prescribed by the Zoning
Ordinance. No interested parties spoke at the meeting.

the petitioner’s request for a special use permit for outdoor seasonal/garden sales at
4817 Oakton Street in a CX Core Mixed-Use district that includes 1 building be
APPROVED, subject to the Plan Commission Recommended Conditions and based
upon the Plan Commission Positive Findings of Fact.

  Skokie Valley Trail’s primary route is on the Oakton Street sidewalk and alternate
 route is along LaCrosse Avenue, both officially crossing at the Oakton/LaCrosse
 signalized intersection.
  Public sidewalks run along Oakton Street and LaCrosse Avenue.
  The Oakton Street frontage of the subject property is a “retail street” per zoning
 regulations, where significant investment would necessitate the provision of a
 ground floor retail use at least 24’ in depth along Oakton Street.
  The subject site is accessed from 1 driveway along Oakton Street and 1 driveway
 along LaCrosse Avenue.
  The site is served by the CTA Yellow Line, CTA Bus Route 97, and Pace Bus
 Route 210.


STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioners’ Submittal
 The petitioner is requesting approval for a special use permit for outdoor seasonal/ garden
 sales in front of the store, in conjunction with the site plan approval for Aldi/ Market Place
 on Oakton. There should be no negative impact upon the character of the neighborhood,
 surrounding property values, and traffic conditions as a result of placing outdoor seasonal/
 garden sales in front of the store. This use also has no impact on existing stormwater
 management facilities or public utilities. The outdoor seasonal/ garden sales will be
 maintained in a neat and orderly manner.


Comments
Staff Comment and Review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments and were
received from the Engineering and Planning Divisions. All other departments returned
the sheets with no comments regarding the subject case.

 Engineering Division
 The Engineering Division recommends approval of the special use permit as long as
 the comments from case 2016-29P are addressed.

 Planning Division
 The Planning Division is supportive of the petitioners’ request, creating 4.5’ deep
 display areas with a 3’ walkway adjacent to the parking lot drive aisle. Per §118-
 212(i)(11)b. the required sidewalk may be reduced in width to 3’ if the sidewalk
 abutting the parking area is not in conflict with vehicular traffic maneuvers, including
 backup maneuvers.
 Emphasizing one of the recommendations from case 2016-29P, staff suggests
 relocating all shopping cart storage under the colonnade during the day and, at the

 VOSDOCS-#505382-v1-Staff_Report_-_2016-30P_-_Special_Use_Permit_-_4817_Oakton
 2 of 5
 tenant’s option, indoors overnight, ensuring a minimum 5’ pedestrian access to Aldi
 and a minimum 3’ pedestrian access to Market Place on Oakton from LaCrosse
 Avenue. Consideration should be given to narrowing the drive aisle to 24’ in front of
 the building, providing an opportunity to widen the sidewalk and possibly a deeper
 display area in front of Market Place on Oakton.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
A Certificate of Appropriateness will need to be sought from the Appearance
Commission if, in the future, the petitioner requests changes to the external
architectural features of the building for which a building permit is sought.


STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for special use permit for outdoor
seasonal/garden sales at 4817 Oakton Street in a CX Core Mixed-Use district that
includes 1 building be APPROVED, based upon the Proposed Positive Findings of Fact
and subject to the recommended special use permit conditions below.

Chicago Title Land Trust Co (TR) # 1110376 DTD, on behalf of Market Place on Oakton,

Street in a CX Core Mixed-Use district, and any relief that may be discovered during the
review of this case.

PIN: 10-28-204-008-0000


Discussion and Interested Parties

Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to property owners in the
area as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. It was determined by Corporation Counsel
that notice was proper and correct.

George Londos, owner of Market Place presented the case. He has been displaying
seasonal items in 3 small areas at the front of the store and didn’t know that they
needed a permit to do so.

A Plan Commissioner asked if the display areas are used all year long. Mr. Londos
replied that they are in use as long as weather permits- about 6-7 months; spring,
summer and fall. Fresh flowers usually don’t last as long if they are stored inside the
store and there is nothing displayed in winter.

Staff requested that the report be accepted into the record as written. The request is in
conjunction with Aldi’s request for site plan approval. (Case 2016-29) The Planning
Department is supportive of the request to display and maintain these 4 ½ feet deep
areas. There needs to be a 3-foot pedestrian walkway area adjacent to the drive aisle
making sure that there is no conflict with moving traffic in the abutting parking lot. Staff
is also looking at opportunities to free up additional space in front of the Market Place
entry by suggesting narrowing the drive aisle to 24 feet so that patrons do not have to
walk in the drive aisle. The cart storage corral arrangement is an existing grandfathered
condition.

There is no need for approval from the Appearance Commission unless the petitioner
upgrades the façade in the future.

Mr. Londos had no additional comments other than having to work things out with Aldi
regarding the parking lot.

Recommendation and Voting

2016-29P before the case is presented to the Village Board.

A motion was made to approve the request for a special use permit for outdoor

To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairman
Case: 2016-31P: Special Use Permit
 8015 Ridgeway Avenue

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its November 3, 2016 meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request of 8015 N.
Ridgeway, Inc., on behalf of Oakton Auto Repair, DBA Advanced Auto Body, for a
special use permit to operate an automotive repair facility at 8015 Ridgeway Avenue in
an M2 Light Industry district. Advanced Auto Body has outgrown its current location in
Skokie at 7316 Ridgeway Avenue and intends to relocate to a larger facility within a
portion of the south half of the subject site. The proposed use will continue to operate
the existing vehicle lift, paint prep area, and spray booths that were installed by the
previous car dealer and automotive repair businesses that occupied this space. The
service area of the auto body shop is accessible from an existing overhead door which
is located on the south side of the building.
The parking requirement for the proposed use is met. Three parking spaces are
provided within the service area of the auto body shop. Eighteen existing angled
parking spaces are provided along the south and west sides of the building and 1
handicapped parking space is present on the west side of the building near the
southwest corner of the property. The petitioner intends to provide 5 additional parking
spaces within a fenced area that is currently used for outdoor storage behind 8023
Ridgeway Avenue.
Subsequent to the drafting of the Staff Report and prior to the Plan Commission
meeting, Planning and Engineering staff met to discuss the petitioner’s objections to
several of the original Recommended Special Use Conditions. The petitioner desired to
maintain the existing parking lot striping configuration along the south and east sides of
the building and did not want to remove the asphalt and restore the area near the
southwest corner of the building with sod. Staff agreed to remove these requirements
as these were existing conditions that staff did not require to be corrected during
previous recent inspections of the site.
The Plan Commission concurred with Staff’s recommendation to grant the special use
permit subject to conditions, as amended.
One commissioner asked what the previous tenant of the facility was and whether that
tenant had a special use permit. The petitioner responded that most recently, an auto
repair shop that sold vehicles was located there but went out of business. Staff
indicated that there was a special use permit issued for the subject site many years ago
for a car dealer (the permit was eventually repealed after the business closed).

Another commissioner asked about the hours of operation. The petitioner responded
that the business would be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 pm and
Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Another commissioner asked where vehicles in need
of repair would be kept on the site. The petitioner responded that vehicles would be
kept inside as well as within a gated area on the north side of the property.


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 the case.

APPEARANCE COMMISSION
Appearance Commission review is not required.


PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommends by a vote of 5 ayes and 0 nays, with 4 members
absent, that the petitioner’s request for a special use permit to operate an automotive
repair facility at 8015 Ridgeway Avenue in an M2 Light Industry district be APPROVED,

 The site is served by the CTA 97 Skokie bus.


PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL
The petitioner is requesting a special use permit for an automotive repair facility at
8015 Ridgeway Avenue in an M2 Light Industry district. Advanced Auto Body has
outgrown its current location in Skokie at 7316 Ridgeway Avenue and intends to
relocate to a larger facility within a portion of the south half of the subject site. The
proposed use will continue to operate the existing vehicle lift, paint prep area, and
spray booths that were installed by the previous car dealer and automotive repair
businesses that occupied this space. The service area of the auto body shop is
accessible from an existing overhead door which is located on the south side of the
building.
Three parking spaces are provided within the service area of the auto body shop.
Eighteen existing angled parking spaces are provided along the south and west sides of
the building and 1 handicapped parking space is present on the west side of the
building near the southwest corner of the property. The petitioner intends to provide 5
additional parking spaces within a fenced area that is currently used for outdoor storage
behind 8023 Ridgeway Avenue. The petitioner intends to replace the existing tall fence
and gate with a shorter fence and gate.
With regards to the proposal, the petitioner states that:
 Our building has more than enough parking to accommodate this business. The
 proposed business will not alter the character of the neighborhood. There are
 numerous automobile body shops found in the immediate surrounding area and
 therefore this is an appropriate use for the space.


STAFF ANALYSIS
Comments
Staff comment and review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments. Staff
comments on the subject case were received from the Engineering Division. All other
departments returned the sheets with no comments.

 Engineering Division
 The Engineering Division recommends approval of the special use permit for an
 automotive repair facility. A total of 11 parking spaces are required for the
 proposed automotive repair facility and 10 parking spaces are required for the
 remainder of the building. The petitioner’s 8015 Ridgeway Ave. Parking Plan
 indicates that 24 spaces are provided, therefore the parking requirement is met.
 However, Engineering staff recommends that the angled parking along the east side
 of the building be replaced with 9 foot-wide, 90 degree angled parking spaces, as
 shown on the attached Staff Recommended Site Plan. Angled seventy-five degree

VOSDOCS-#504699-v1-Staff_Report_-_2016-31P_-_Special_Use_Permit__8015_Ridgeway_Avenue.doc
 2 of 8
 parking spaces shall be striped along the south side of the building to allow for
 easier pull-in and back-out maneuvering due to the shallow depths of the spaces
 and the presence of fencing along the south side of the alley. A total of 21 parking
 spaces are provided on the Staff Recommended Site Plan, meeting the parking
 requirement for the site. While the 3 additional indoor spaces within the body shop
 cannot be counted toward meeting the parking requirement because the width of
 the interior driveway does not meet Village code, these spaces can be used for
 storage of vehicles in need of repair.
 The existing handicapped parking space is to be shifted south to be in alignment
 with the parking spaces to the east and the excess pavement to the north of the
 handicapped space is to be removed and replaced with sod. The space shall remain
 striped at a 90 degree angle. The parking lot within the fenced area behind 8021
 Ridgeway must be resurfaced due to the poor condition of the existing pavement
 and the parking spaces within the lot must be reconfigured to match the layout
 shown on staff’s recommended site plan.
 One bicycle parking space is required and must be placed on the south side of the
 sidewalk to the north of the area where sod is requested to be installed. The space
 must be designed and located in compliance with §118-221 and §118-222 of the
 Village Code.
 Planning Division
 The Planning Division recommends approval of the special use permit request for an
 automotive repair facility. While there are several other automotive repair facilities
 operating in the area that have insufficient on-site parking and storage area, the
 proposed use should be able to function within the subject site without adversely
 impacting the surrounding area because there is sufficient on-site parking.
 Although most of the parking on the subject site is substandard in depth, it is a pre-
 existing condition due to the position of the building relative to the south and east
 property lines. Planning staff has produced an alternative site plan that meets the
 parking requirement and improves the site’s parking layout while retaining the
 angled parking that is desired along the south side of the building (due to the
 shallow depths of the parking spaces).
 The 5 parking spaces behind the business at 8023 Ridgeway Avenue are best suited
 for the parking of vehicles in need of repair because the area will be fully screened.
 The petitioner must provide the body shop with full access to this screened parking
 area. All other vehicles in need of repair must be parked along the east side of the
 building in order to screen them from view from Ridgeway.
 Staff supports Engineering’s request to relocate the handicapped parking space and
 remove the excess pavement from the west side of the building. Removal of the
 pavement will increase the amount of permeable surface on the property and
 reduce runoff.

 All materials that are presently being stored outdoors within the fenced area must
 be removed and relocated inside the building. Continued outdoor storage is
 prohibited without first obtaining a special use permit for that use.

APPEARANCE COMMISSION
Appearance Commission review is not required.

Case Description

2016-31P – Special Use Permit: 8015 Ridgeway Avenue

8015 N. Ridgeway, Inc., on behalf of Oakton Auto Repair, DBA Advanced Auto Body,
requests a special use permit for an automotive repair facility at 8015 Ridgeway Avenue
in an M2 Light Industry district, and any relief that may be discovered during the review
of this case.

PIN: 10-23-331-047-0000


Discussion and Interested Parties

Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to property owners in the
area as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. It was determined by Corporation Counsel
that notice was proper and correct.

Eli Steinhardt, property owner of 8015 Ridgeway presented the case. Freddy Yellin (?)
and Johnson Shino, representing Advanced Auto Body were in attendance to answer any
questions. Mr. Steinhardt purchased the building 1½ years ago. The southern half
has been vacant for 5 years. The last owner sold foreign cars out of this location. The
business before that was a body shop and the space is still set up as one. A mutual
friend put him in touch with Advanced Auto Body who is currently located at 7316
Ridgeway Avenue. They have outgrown their space after 20 years and since their client
base is in Skokie would like to stay in the area. They didn’t have to look far for a larger
space.

A Plan Commissioner asked about their hours of operation especially week-end hours.
They are open Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4:30 PM and from 9 AM to noon on
Saturdays.

Another commissioner questioned how wreckers operate when dropping off cars at their
shop. They said that cars are never left in the alley or on the street or in the public’s
view. They are brought inside for all work. Mr. Steinhardt also stated that there is a
dedicated enclosed yard reserved for the storage of wrecked cars.

In their written comments, the Engineering Division stated that the parking requirement
has been met but they are suggesting shifting the handicapped space south to align
with the parking spaces to the east. They also recommended that the excess pavement
505731 Plan Commission meeting minutes 11/3//16
to the north of the handicap space be removed and replaced with sod. The fenced yard
behind 8021 Ridgeway is in poor condition and needs to be re-paved or re-surfaced. A
bicycle parking space needs to be placed near where the sod is to be put down.

Mr. Steinhardt stated that last year he submitted plans for occupancy and was approved
for an auto repair use. In accordance with those plans, he had the area striped. He
would rather not have to re-do it again. He hoped to keep everything as is including not
replacing the pavement to install sod as it would interfere with the loading area.

Staff requested that an amended report be accepted into the record. The petitioner’s
concerns about site improvements were discussed with the Engineering Department.
Staff created and recommended a revised parking plan. Five parallel spaces were
changed to angled spaces. It was noted that the 3 parking spaces inside cannot count
as part of the required parking because the width of the driveway does not meet Code.
However, they can be used for storing cars in need of repairs. Cars cannot be stored in
the fenced area for longer than 10 days without getting a separate special use permit
for outdoor storage.

Staff has agreed to remove the conditions of requiring the installation of sod and will
consider the excess pavement as a grandfathered condition. Staff is cognizant that the
configuration of the building on the site doesn’t conform to Code and therefore the
parking spaces are not as deep to allow 90º angle parking. They can operate the
parking lot as it stands. They can also forgo the re-striping because it was done last
year.


Recommendation and Voting

A motion was made to approve the amended staff report for a special use permit for an
automotive repair facility at 8015 Ridgeway Avenue. The vote was 5 ayes and 0 nays
with 4 commissioners absent.

Case: 2016-32P: Zoning Map Amendment
 3721 Chase Avenue

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its November 17, 2016 meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request of 3721
Property Owner, LLC, to amend the zoning map to change the zoning district for 3721
Chase Avenue from M3 Industry to B2 Commercial. The petitioner desires to rezone
the subject site, which presently contains a 2-story industrial building and parking lot,
to B2 in order to subdivide the building into multiple units and lease to tenants that
include, as of the time of the filing of this case, a Crossfit gym and a basketball training
facility. The northern portion of the building will be retained for office uses.
The petitioner eventually intends to also rezone and redevelop several adjacent
properties to the south and southwest of the subject site. The petitioner will also be
requesting site plan approval to connect the subject site with the adjacent properties in
order to share parking and driveways.

The Plan Commission concurred with Staff’s recommendation to grant the zoning map
amendment.
A commissioner asked the petitioner if there was an overall site plan showing the
redevelopment of the subject site and the adjacent properties. The Community
Development director reminded the commissioners that they would be voting on the
merits of the subject site only and the site plan approval would be subject to a future
case. The petitioner displayed elevations and a floor plan for the building at the subject
site and a preliminary site plan for the overall development.
Another commissioner asked about the Village’s desire to keep the properties north of
Chase Avenue zoned for industrial use. The Community Development director
responded that the Village wants to keep this industrial area intact and is only
permitting properties south of Chase to be rezoned for commercial purposes. The
commissioner also commented that it is not easy driving within the area due to the
rapid growth of commercial activity nearby
Another commissioner asked if this was the first instance of an industrial property not
facing a main street to petition to be rezoned. Staff responded that no other property
has come to mind, but the property is adjacent to the B2 district and has been actively
sought for commercial redevelopment several times.

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.

One interested party who owns an industrial business in the neighborhood was hoping
that the traffic patterns in the area would be improved because driving was becoming
more difficult due to the recent development.
Another interested party noted that while the area is struggling with many vacant
buildings, she would like to see the subject site remain as industrial. Staff responded
that the area is always changing and that the Village in recent years committed to
upgrading the industrial area by adding parking and street lighting, increasing the
turning radii at intersections, and taking the non-industrial uses out of the area. The
interested party wondered if there was any positive synergy between the retail and
industrial zoned areas.

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommends by a vote of 6 ayes and 0 nays, with 3 members
absent, that the petitioner’s request to amend the zoning map to change the zoning
district for 3721 Chase Avenue from M3 Industry to B2 Commercial be APPROVED,
subject to the attached Proposed Positive Findings of Fact.

PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL
The petitioner is requesting to amend the zoning map to change the zoning district for
3721 Chase Avenue from M3 Industry to B2 Commercial. 3721 Property Owner, LLC,
desires to rezone the subject site, which presently contains a 2-story industrial building
and parking lot, to B2 in order to subdivide the building into multiple units and lease to
tenants that include, as of the time of the filing of this case, a Crossfit gym and a
basketball training facility.
The petitioner eventually intends to also rezone and redevelop several adjacent
properties to the south and southwest of the subject site. The petitioner will also be
requesting site plan approval to connect the subject site with the adjacent properties in

STAFF ANALYSIS
Comments
Staff comment and review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments. Staff
comments on the subject case were received from the Engineering Division. All other
departments returned the sheets with no comments.

 Engineering Division
 The Engineering Division recommends approval to change the zoning from M3 to
 B2, but advises that the parking requirement for commercial uses is higher than the
 industrial and warehouse uses that are currently located at the subject site. The
 required parking for the new uses will be determined when additional plans with
 tenant information are submitted.
 Planning Division
 The Planning Division has reviewed the submitted materials and recommends
 approval of the proposed zoning map amendment. The petitioner shall only be
 permitted to lease spaces within the building up to the point at which no additional
 required parking is available on the site. All remaining space within the building
 shall remain vacant until the subject site is granted permission to share parking with
 properties to the south and southwest of the subject site through the site plan
 approval process.
 The subject site was initially split-zoned C Single Family and G Light Industry in
 1946. At some point between 1952 and 1956, the subject site was rezoned to M3
 Industry.
 Review of historical records indicates that the existing building was constructed in
 1971 and 1972. Prior to that time, the subject site was undeveloped.
 Current surrounding uses include truck and freight transportation services, primary
 metal manufacturing, janitorial services, vacant industrial buildings, a department
 store, limited service restaurants with drive-throughs, a home hospice and health
 care agency, and an ambulance business. The land use trend in the general area
 within the past 25 years has been toward commercial uses to the east and
 southwest of the subject site and industrial uses to the north, south, and west of the
 subject site.
 While rezoning this site to B2 is contrary to the manufacturing/service employment
 designation in the Village’s 2004 Comprehensive Plan, development trends to the
 east of the subject site along Touhy Avenue have changed significantly since that
 time and the Village has supported a policy of rezoning properties south of Chase
 Avenue to B2. Most of the properties adjacent to Touhy between Hamlin Avenue on
 the west and McCormick Boulevard on the east have been rezoned from M3 to B2
 within the past 5 years as commercial developments have replaced or repurposed
 outmoded industrial buildings. The petitioner’s proposal to rezone the subject site is
 a continuation of this trend.

 2 of 4
 Rezoning this site to B2 is more appropriate than maintaining the current M3
 designation because the 2 proposed tenants that would occupy a portion of the
 building are not permitted uses in the M3 district. Additionally, while it is anticipated
 that this property will be incorporated into a future B2 zoned development that
 includes properties to the south and southwest of the subject site, Staff is
 supportive of the petitioner’s request independent of the plan to redevelop the other
 properties.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request to amend the zoning map to change the
zoning district for 3721 Chase Avenue from M3 Industry to B2 Commercial be
GRANTED, subject to the attached Proposed Positive Findings of Fact.

Case Description
2016-32P – Zoning Map Amendment: 3721 Chase Avenue

3721 Property Owner, LLC, requests to amend the zoning map to change the zoning
district for 3721 Chase Avenue from M2 Light Industry to B2 Commercial.

PIN: 10-26-318-027-0000


Discussion and Interested Parties

Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to property owners in the
area as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. It was determined by Corporation Counsel
that notice was proper and correct.

Tim Hague (?), a member of the LLC and development partnership spoke of the subject
site which faces Chase Avenue and 2 other properties to the immediate south and
southwest which they have acquired for an opportunity to enhance the area eventually
with a development with shared parking and driveways. They will improve the exteriors
with new facades on the west and south sides and add restaurant and retail uses to the
development facing Touhy Avenue. The “Chase” building has a 2-story office
component which will be maintained with no changes and a large open warehouse. The
petitioners have separated this building out because there is initial interest for a
basketball training facility and a cross-fit gym to the warehouse area and they would like
to move forward with a lease agreement. The properties to the east have already been
rezoned to B2 and are home to the Walmart and Mariano’s developments. There are
preliminary discussions going on with Walmart for cross-access between the properties.
Also, as the properties surround the BP station, the petitioners are talking to BP as well
about possibly expanding their site by including the property that is now the car wash.

A Plan Commissioner asked if an overall site plan was available. The Community
Development director reminded all that they will be voting on the merits of the subject
site only and site plan approval will be subject to a future case. A conceptual rendering
was displayed showing the breakdown of the buildings.

Staff requested that the report be accepted into the record as presented. He stated that
this request will change the character of the area from industrial to retail. Staff is
supportive of the change in zoning from M3 to B2. The trend in the area is changing to

506321 Plan Commission meeting minutes 11/17//16
B2 and this site is better suited as B2 than M3. He reminded all that this case is a part
of a larger development.

A Plan Commissioner asked about the Village’s decision that properties north of Chase
are to remain industrial. The Community Development director answered that the
Village wants to keep the industrial area intact and is holding true that only properties
south of Chase Avenue are suitable for re-zoning.

The commissioner made a comment that at the development to the east, it is craziness
driving in and out trying to navigate the Walmart parking lot safely.

Another commissioner asked if this was the first time a recessed industrial property not
facing a main street has petitioned to be rezoned. Staff answered that no other
property has come to mind.

The petitioner concurred with staff’s report.

Steven Coven, owner of 7315 Hamlin, stated that as a neighboring business owner he
just wanted to know what the future of the area was going to be. He commented that
driving in the area is crazy and better traffic patterns are needed. He has no objection
to the petitioner’s request.

Dani Nichols (?) who works at Napco- 7315 Hamlin, commented that industrial space is
a premium and she would like to see it remain as industrial. She noted that even
though there are a lot of auto uses in the area it seems like the area is struggling and
there are a lot of empty buildings. Staff responded that the area is always changing. In
recent years the Village committed to upgrading the area and added lighting and
improved the radii. Vacancies are filling up. He commented that the Urban Land
Institute (ULI) recommended taking the non-industrial uses out of the area. The
racquetball club, mini go-karts and drive-in theatre are all gone now and the Village is
trying to keep it that way. She was wondering if adding retail will positively affect the
area.
