 SKOKIE VILLAGE CODE PERTAINING TO THEFT

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

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

9 the State’s Attorney’s Office to charge or prosecute first time offenders and the asset protection
10 policies of some retail businesses which increase reliance on local authorities; and

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

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

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

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

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

PLAN COMMISSION REPORT 2020-13P: Special Use Permit
Plan Commission Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, November 2, 2020



To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairperson
Case: 2020-13P: Special Use Permit
 3938 Dempster Street

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
The case was heard at the October 1, 2020, Plan Commission meeting, and involves a
request for a special use permit for outdoor dining at an existing limited-service
restaurant in a B2 Commercial zoning district, and any relief that may be discovered
during the review of this case.
The petitioner is proposing a covered outdoor dining area with up to 24 seats. The Plan
Commission is supportive of the proposal.
The maximum seating capacity is shown on the site plan dated October 19, 2020, and
may be reduced per circumstances and temporary regulations independent of this
request. Access to the site and main entrance will be provided and these walkways
cannot be obstructed at any time.
The outdoor dining hours will not be earlier than 8 a.m. and no later than 10 p.m., and
not outside business hours, from April 1 to October 31 of each year, and as otherwise
allowed to facilitate safe outdoor dining, takeout, and curbside pickup.
Since outdoor dining is seasonal, no additional motor vehicle parking is required. It is,
however, an intensification of use; therefore, 1 bicycle parking space will be provided.
Since 2011, limited service restaurants without drive-throughs have been permitted
uses in the B2 zoning district; therefore, the 2 existing special use ordinances will be
repealed.
The petitioner confirmed that only 1 ground sign and 1 wall sign facing Dempster Street
will be provided in compliance with the Signs Chapter of the Village Code.
The Fire Prevention Bureau requests cut sheets for any combustible materials that will
be used for supporting the structure or for aesthetics, and states that, if the restaurant
is sprinklered, the exterior canopy must be sprinklered with a dry pipe system.
Discussion per Commissioners’ inquiries specific to the special use permit request
included confirming the roof deck and fascia will be an extension of the existing
building, the Fire Prevention Bureau will be advised of any cold weather heating
equipment, and trash control is included in the recommended conditions. Discussion
regarding enclosing this outdoor area to comply with COVID regulations is a separate
matter and not applicable to this request.
After the meeting, it was determined the gross building square footage was not
relevant to the case for the recommended conditions, and the text was removed.

At its September 9, 2020, meeting, the Appearance Commission approved the proposed
development design (case 2020-035A), subject to a thicker soffit band to complement
the building and larger more substantial columns to complement the fascia. The
Appearance Commission also supports wall signs on all three sides of the new fascia.

PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL
 The proposed improvements to our building will have several positive effects on our
 community. First and foremost, we believe the outdoor patio is of utmost importance in
 regards to public health. During the current covid-19 pandemic, an emphasis has been
 placed on outdoor dining in order to slow the spread of the virus. Our current makeshift
 patio has helped greatly, but we feel a professionally built patio will provide customers with a
 much more enjoyable dining experience.
 In addition to the public health benefits, we feel the outdoor patio will add to the
 beautification of Dempster Street. New and modern building improvements are always a
 good way to create curb appeal in any neighborhood. The ultimate goal is to create
 additional business which will be a positive for Grecian Kitchen, but a positive for the entire
 neighborhood. We appreciate your time and consideration.



STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff Comment and Review requests were sent to all pertinent departments and were
received from Building, Engineering, Environmental Health, the Fire Prevention Bureau,
and Planning. All other departments returned the requests with no comments
regarding the subject case.


 Building
 V.O.S. section 2-784. All projects with proposed changes to exterior elevations must
 be reviewed and approved by the Skokie appearance commission. Architect to make
 the changes from the meeting on September 9, 2020.

 2 of 9
 Engineering
 Additional runoff created by canopy shall be dealt with appropriately during the
 permit phase.


 Environmental Health
 Provide at least one garbage/refuse container in the outdoor dining area for all
 garbage/litter and refuse.
 The container must be emptied as often as necessary and shall be emptied before
 closing.


 Fire Prevention Bureau (FPB)
 1. Skokie FPB requires cut sheets on any combustible materials that will be used
 for supporting the structure or for aesthetics.
 2. If the restaurant portion is sprinklered, the proposed exterior canopy must be
 sprinklered with a dry pipe system.
 3. FPB needs to be advised if any cold weather heating equipment will be
 integrated into the canopy or will be free-standing. These factors affect the
 type of material being utilized in the construction of the canopy.


 Planning
 Grecian Kitchen is proposing a covered outdoor dining area on the south side of the
 building with seating that would supplement the existing limited service restaurant.
 Outdoor dining requires a special use permit due in the B2 Commercial district due
 to the potential impact upon the immediate neighborhood and the Village as a
 whole. It requires a greater degree of scrutiny and review of site characteristics,
 operation of the use, and impacts to determine its suitability in a given location.
 The Planning Division recommends approval of the special use permit for the
 outdoor dining at 3938 Dempster Street. This recommendation is subject to the
 conditions listed later in this report.
 Since outdoor dining is seasonal, no additional parking is required. No tables or
 chairs are allowed to obstruct access to the main entrance. In addition, a dedicated
 5’-wide clear walkway must be provided from Dempster Street to the front door;
 therefore, it is recommended that this pathway be located west of the canopy
 addition and along the storefront to maximize outdoor dining capacity.
 Adding outdoor dining is an intensification in use; therefore, one bicycle parking
 space must be provided.
 Allowable outdoor dining hours are from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., but not beyond the
 posted hours of operation for the restaurant. Outdoor dining is limited to between
VOSDOCS-#571077-v1-Staff_Report_-_2020-13P_-_Special_Use_Permit_-_3938_Dempster_-_Outdoor_Dining
 3 of 9
 April 1 and October 31 each year, and as otherwise allowed to facilitate safe outdoor
 dining, takeout, and curbside pickup.
 The petitioner is looking to relocate the existing ground sign to the east of the site,
 which may be allowed pending compliance with the Village Code. The signs on the
 new outdoor dining canopy can be allowed; however, relief from §82-27(c)(1)b. of
 the Sign Code is necessary for the west wall sign, as it doesn’t face a public street or
 a parking lot.
 There are two existing special use ordinances for a restaurant for the subject site,
 94-8-Z-2451 and 81-6-Z-1367. In March 2011, limited service restaurants without
 drive-throughs became permitted uses in the B2 Commercial district; therefore,
 these ordinances can be repealed. Applicable conditions are in the recommended
 conditions below.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
At its September 9, 2020, meeting, the Appearance Commission approved the proposed
development design (case 2020-035A), subject to a thicker soffit band to complement
the building and larger more substantial columns to complement the fascia. The
Appearance Commission also supports wall signs on all three sides of the new fascia.


STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for outdoor dining associated with a
limited service restaurant at 3938 Dempster Street B2 Commercial district be
APPROVED, based upon the Proposed Positive Findings of Fact and subject to the
recommended conditions below.
Staff further recommends relief from §82-27(c)(1)b. to allow a wall sign facing west.
Staff also recommends repealing ordinances 94-8-Z-2451 and 81-6-Z-1367 while
ensuring the subject site complies with the Village Code, including plumbing (including
grease protection for sanitary service and backflow protection for water service),
accessibility, trash enclosure, stormwater infrastructure, parking lot, fence, and fire
safety regulations.
