SUBJECT: MANAGER’S REPORT
 BOARD MEETING OF MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2022


 A. 2022 Tax Levy Ordinance and Tax Levy Abatement.
 The attached 2022 Property Tax Levy and Tax Levy Abatement Ordinances are
 for a first reading by the Village Board and will be on the Monday, December 19,
 2022 agenda for second reading and adoption.

 The Village of Skokie’s 2022 tax levy request is $15,456,695 and represents the
 32nd consecutive year that the Village Board has adopted a levy that is equal to
 the Village’s 1990 tax levy. In addition to the frozen levy, the ordinance includes
 $3,262 levied for Special Service Area (SSA) Number 10 improvements and the
 $12,276,686 levied by the Skokie Public Library to fund operations and capital
 during fiscal year 2023. The Village has five outstanding debt issues, specifically
 the 2013A Series, 2016A Series, 2018A Series, 2019A Series and 2022 A and B
 Series. A total of $17,523,135.46 is authorized by the bond ordinance for the 2022

Date: November 28, 2022


Subject: AGENDA ITEMS: 2022 TAX LEVY ORDINANCE
 2022 TAX LEVY ABATEMENT

Attached with this memorandum are two ordinances pertaining to the levying and
abatement of property taxes for the 2022 tax year. Your review and subsequent inclusion
in the December 5th board agenda packet is respectfully requested. The ordinances are
being presented for first reading at the December 5th meeting. The ordinance will also be
presented at the regularly scheduled board meeting on Monday, December 19, for second
reading and adoption.

2022 Tax Levy Ordinance
The Tax Levy ordinance serves as formal notification to the Cook County Tax Extension
Office of the aggregate amount of property taxes to be levied from Skokie properties. The
Village continues to maintain a frozen property tax levy in the amount of $15,456,695. The
total amount levied for tax year 2022, including the amounts necessary for the repayment
of debt and excluding any Special Service Areas-SSA, is equal to the amount levied in
1990, extending the tax freeze (implemented first in 1991) to its 32nd consecutive year. In
addition to the frozen levy, the ordinance includes $3,262 levied for SSA #10
improvements, and $12,276,686 levied by the Skokie Public Library to fund operations
and capital during fiscal year 2023.

2022 Tax Abatement Ordinance
The Village has five outstanding debt issues, specifically the 2013A Series, 2016A Series,
2018A Series, 2019A Series, and 2022 A and B Series. For each debt issue the Village
has filed an ordinance with Cook County, directing the County to collect an amount
sufficient to cover the annual interest and principal for each series. A total of
$17,523,135.46 is authorized by the bond ordinances for the 2022 tax year (including
Library debt). In order to maintain the Village's property tax freeze, it is necessary to abate
$6,890,241.35. The attached abatement ordinance serves as the formal action by the
Board to direct the county to not collect this amount, to be covered by other revenues, i.e.
property tax increment (for 2013A, 2016A, 2018A, and 2022B), telecommunications taxes
(for 2019A), municipal utility tax (2022A), and a portion of the frozen levy(2022A).

Village Board's review and subsequent adoption at the December 19th meeting is
respectfully requested. There will also be a presentation on the tax levy at the December
5th meeting.

*A. Ordinance, Code Amendment. Condominium Deconversion

 Item A is on the consent agenda for second reading and adoption. The first reading
 was on November 21, 2022.


 This ordinance will amend Chapter 34, Article 11 of the Skokie Village Code to require 85%
 of Condominium unit owners to consent to deconversion of the Condominium, in buildings
 with 10 or more units in order for deconversion to occur. At the September 6, 2022 Village
 Board Meeting, a discussion arose from comments made by individuals in the Public
 Comments portion of the meeting, concerning possible condominium board action at the
 Optima Condominium Maple Tower in Skokie. This potential action would result in the
 deconversion and forced sale from individual condominium ownership to a single owner
 rental company. The Village Board has heard from condominium owners from the Maple
 Tower who object to any deconversion of the Maple Tower, a few condominium owners
 from the Maple Tower who are interested in the contemplated Maple Tower deconversion
 and the representative of the Maple Tower Condo Board Association on this issue.
 Subsequent to research presented by Village Staff to the Village Board and discussions
 at several Board meetings, the motion to amend the Village Code requiring consent of
 85% of unit owners in buildings with 10 units or more was approved. This is an increase
 to the already required 75%, pursuant to the Illinois Condominium Act.

PLAN COMMISSION REPORT 2022-31P: Chapter Amendment
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, December 5, 2022



To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman, Skokie Plan Commission
Case: 2022-31P: Zoning Chapter Amendment
 Retail Streets


PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its September 15, 2022, meeting, the Plan Commission reviewed a request by the
Village Manager for a Zoning Chapter amendment to add “medium density” residential
adjacent to single-family residential zoning in a “park-or campus-like” setting to the
purpose statement of the OR Office Research district; allow residence, townhouse, and
residence, 3- or more unit multiple family uses in the OR district north of Old Orchard
Road; allow a limited service restaurant with drive-through and general commercial
uses in the OR district; reduced side and rear yard setbacks; and related corrections
within the overall Village Code.

The Plan Commission supported allowing a mix of residential unit types and limited
retail uses north of Old Orchard that would be compatible with the existing office
development and the residential properties to the north. The location of townhouses,
with a limited height of 40 FT (3 stories), would create a good buffer between the
single-family homes and more intense residential and office buildings. Taller residential
buildings, as the currently allowed office buildings, would be required to have a setback
of not less than 150 feet from residentially used property. Limited commercial uses in
the area fronting Old Orchard Road would also be desirable to provide the service
needs of businesses and residents in the area. The Optima development has been
compatible with adjacent uses allowed in the OR district as all developments have been
constructed under site plan approval and have adhered to the district principal of
creating a “planned park-like setting”.

They also supported allowing CX Core Mixed Use district uses in the OR district. These
are primarily commercial, retail, service and food uses. The only uses not allowed in
the CX district; but, recommended as Restricted Use in the OR district, are townhouses
and limited service restaurants with drive-through facilities.

There was much discussion by the commissioners regarding the addition of the limited-
service restaurant and drive-through component. Some commissioners questioned the
compatibility of a fast-food restaurant with a drive-through locating in a “park-like”
setting. Some restaurants were considered acceptable while others were not. Staff

cautioned that once a site plan is approved, any limited service restaurant can come in,
provided that a parking and stacking analysis is conducted and approved by the Plan
Commission. Additional discussion is included in the attached meeting minutes.

The Plan Commission recommended approval of the proposed Zoning Chapter
amendment on a split vote.

INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal Notice was properly advertised as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. No one in
the audience spoke on the matter.

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommended, by a vote of 4 ayes, 2 nays, and 3 members
absent, that Chapter 118 Zoning of the Skokie Village Code be amended, as presented
in the Staff Report, to amend the OR district to add “medium density” residential;
limited-service restaurant with drive-through; and general commercial uses; and reduce
side & rear yard setbacks.

Research District
Chapter 118 Zoning of the Skokie Village Code be amended with text to be added
highlighted and text to be removed highlighted and struck through.
Sec. 118-175. OR Office Research district.

 The OR Office Research district is established to allow the development of business and
professional offices, uses with "higher intensity" multifamily residential developments with a
mix of residences types, and other compatible uses in a planned park-like setting. The district is
intended to serve the Village and the surrounding urban region. Because of the unique character
of properties located within this district and its proximity to the Edens Expressway, the Old
Orchard Interchange, Cook County Forest Preserve and adjacent residential properties in other
municipalities, all properties within this district require site plan approval in accordance with
Article II of this chapter. Relief from any of the requirements of this district shall only be granted
by the Mayor and Board of Trustees. The petitioner shall have the burden of providing evidence
and persuasion that any such relief is necessary and desirable. Similarly granted relief to existing
developments in the district shall not be sufficient to base justification for approval upon an
already existing development. Each development shall be presented and judged on its own
merits. The following requirements shall apply to the OR district:

(1) Building height. The maximum building height shall be:

 a. North of Old Orchard Road: 105 feet. Buildings that exceed a height of 60 feet are
 required to have a yard to building height ratio of 2.5 to 1, from residentially zoned
 property. Residential uses located within 100 feet of a residentially zoned or used
 property shall have a maximum height of 40 feet or less.

 b. South of Old Orchard Road: 180 feet. Buildings that include residences shall have a
 minimum height of 80 feet.

(2) Front yard. A front yard of 50 feet is required. Residential uses located north of Old
 Orchard Road with a maximum height of 40 feet or less shall have a front yard of 25
 feet.

(3) Side yards. Side yards of 50 feet are required. Residential uses located north of Old
 Orchard Road with a maximum height of 40 feet or less shall have a side yard of 8
 feet.

(4) Rear yard. A rear yard of 50 feet is required. Residential uses located north of Old
 Orchard Road with a maximum height of 40 feet or less shall have a rear yard of 30
 feet.

(5) Yards, of properties primarily developed with non-residential uses, abutting residential
districts.

 be not less than 150 feet in depth, from the nearest lot line of the residentially used
 property outside the OR district.

 b. Within the yards abutting residentially used property, no building or structure of any
 kind, other than screening structure, is permitted.

 banked toward the yard boundary line and a retaining wall, shall have a side slope ratio of 3
 to 1 for ease of maintenance. Planting used for screening shall be a mixture of low wide-
 spreading evergreens, with taller deciduous trees. North of Old Orchard Road a solid 6-
 foot-high wall or fence shall be used, in addition to landscaping, to separate a
 development from any abutting residentially used property.

(8) Landscaping and site development plan. A plan showing the proposed landscaping and site
 development must be prepared. It must be submitted as a part of or in addition to the site
 plan. Such items as embankment ratios, types of planting, materials and their quantities and
 fencing/walls are to be spelled out.

 structure. Outdoor testing of materials and products, such as done by the Portland Cement
 Association, shall be limited to natural weathering only, and is to be located in either side or
 rear yard areas. The materials and products themselves may not exceed 2 stories or 26 feet

 (k) Lighting.

 (3) The illumination level for all off-street parking areas shall be as follows, unless
 otherwise approved by the Plan Commission as part of Site Plan approval:

STAFF REPORT 2022-31P: Zoning Chapter Amendment
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, September 15, 2022

To: Paul Luke, Chairman, Skokie Plan Commission
From: Peter Peyer, AICP

Case: 2022-31P: Zoning Chapter Amendment

 To allow residences north of Old Orchard Road within the OR Office Research District



 General Information
 Petitioner Village of Skokie
 Purpose The Village of Skokie is requesting a Zoning Chapter amendment to
 add “medium density” residential adjacent to single-family residential
 zoning in a “park-or campus-like” setting to the purpose statement of
 the OR Office Research district; allow residence, townhouse, and
 residence, 3- or more unit multiple family uses in the OR district north
 of Old Orchard Road; allow a limited service restaurant with drive-
 through and general commercial uses in the OR district; reduced side
 and rear yard setbacks; and related corrections within the overall
 Village Code.


STAFF REVIEW

Staff reviewed the Comprehensive Plan, the OR Office Research District, and Appendix A “Use
Table” in its analysis of the proposed text amendment.

The OR district is entirely located near the Old Orchard and Woods Drive intersections and
adjacent to I-94. This area is denoted as “Service Employment” in the Comprehensive Plan –
shown as pink in the map below. The brown area shown on the map is Optima Old Orchard
Woods, which is zoned OR but is shown as “Other Residential” on the map.




600493v1 – Zoning Chapter Amendment for allowing residences north of Old Orchard Road within the OR district
 Return to top of 31P




The “Service Employment” area land use designation is not limited to the OR district. It can be
found throughout the Village and includes B4, B6, H1, M2, and OR zoning districts and consists
of a wide variety of permitted office, retail, and service uses.

The OR district is considered part of the Industrial class of zoning districts. Like most
municipalities, the different classes of districts include Residential, Business, Mixed-Use, and
Industrial zoning. The classes represent a hierarchy of least flexible to most flexible regulations
where industrial zoning provides the most flexibility.

The OR district was established to, “to allow the development of business and professional
offices, uses with "higher intensity" multifamily residences, and other compatible uses in a
planned park-like setting. The district is intended to serve the Village and the surrounding
urban region. Because of the unique character of properties located within this district and its
proximity to the Edens Expressway, the Old Orchard Interchange, Cook County Forest
Preserve and adjacent residential properties in other municipalities, all properties within this
district require site plan approval in accordance with Article II of this chapter. Relief from any
of the requirements of this district shall only be granted by the Mayor and Board of Trustees.
The petitioner shall have the burden of providing evidence and persuasion that any such relief
is necessary and desirable. Similarly granted relief to existing developments in the district
shall not be sufficient to base justification for approval upon an already existing development.
Each development shall be presented and judged on its own merits.”

For many years only, office uses were allowed in the district and by the 1990s most
development sites were developed in accordance with the regulations and intent of the
district. However; it became apparent that redevelopment and upgrading of sites was needed
and that some sites would be difficult to develop strictly as office uses, thus, other compatible

600493v1 – Zoning Chapter Amendment for allowing residences north of Old Orchard Road within the OR district
 Return to top of 31P




uses were starting to be considered. In 2000, a portion of the Portland Cement property at
5400 Old Orchard Road was sold off for the development of a Lifetime Fitness health facility.
The Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center was approved and constructed in 2003 at
5330 to 5350 Woods Drive. Both of these facilities were similar, supportive and compatible
with the development in the area. In 2004, a major change occurred by amending the
district’s allowable uses and purpose statement to allow "higher intensity" multifamily
residences in the OR district south of Old Orchard Road. This change resulted in the
construction of the 700-unit Optima residential development in 2004 at 9645-9739 Woods
Drive. Most recently, in 2021, the district regulations were modified to allow the “Car Dealer
and marine craft” use in the district as a restricted use. A Carvana car dealership was
approved but has not been constructed.

The advent of the COVID pandemic has result in changed work patterns and the reduced need
for office building space. Even before COVID, suburban office space was starting to lose its
appeal as corporations were relocating to downtown Chicago locations. As a result, it has been
difficult to maintain tenants in some OR district office buildings. The Portland Cement
Corporation site, the subject of Case 2022-32P, has been on and off the market for many years
since the association moved to Washington, DC. The OR properties north of Old Orchard Road
also have restrictions to development because they are almost all located adjacent to residential
properties in Glenview and Wilmette. The allowable height of buildings north of Old Orchard
Road in the OR district is lower and there is a greater setback requirement as building height
increases. In the past, there have been lawsuits from residential property owners to the north
that have modified office building height, setback and landscaping.

It is staff’s opinion that a mix of residential unit types and limited retail uses north of Old
Orchard would be compatible with the existing office development and the residential properties
to the north. The location of townhouses, with a limited height of 40 FT (3 stories), would
create a good buffer between the single-family homes and more intense residential and office
buildings. Taller residential buildings, as the currently allowed office buildings, would be
required to have a setback of not less than 150 feet from residentially used property. Limited
commercial uses in the area fronting Old Orchard Road would also be desirable to provide the
service needs of businesses and residents in the area. The Optima development has been
compatible with adjacent uses allowed in the OR district as all developments have been
constructed under site plan approval and have adhered to the district principal of creating a
“planned park-like setting”.

Staff has encouraged potential developers of residential developments in the OR district to
include a commercial component. However, at present there are very few commercial uses
allowed in the district and most of them are heavily restricted. As commercial uses will now be
allowed staff recommends that uses allowed in the CX Core Mixed Use district also be allowed in
the OR district. This district excludes heavier uses such as motor vehicle repair, car washes,
gas stations, etc.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Chapter 118 Zoning of the Skokie Village Code be amended with the
text in BOLD as follows:

 Draft Plan Commission Meeting Minutes
 Date: September 15, 2022


A motion to approve the minutes of the September 1, 2022 Plan Commission meeting was
made by Commissioner Burman, seconded by Commissioner Ousley, and approved by all with a
voice vote.

Case Descriptions:

2022-31P – Zoning Chapter Amendment: OR Office Research District
The Village Manager of the Village of Skokie is requesting a Zoning Chapter Amendment to add
“medium density” residential adjacent to single-family residential zoning in a “park- or campus-
like” setting to the purpose statement of the OR Office Research district; allow residence,
townhouse, and residence, 3-or more unit multifamily uses in the OR district north of Old
Orchard Road; allow a limited-service restaurant with drive-through and general commercial
uses in the OR district; reduced side and rear yard setbacks; and related corrections within the
overall Village Code.


Discussion and Interested Parties

Legal notice was advertised as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. Personal notice was not
required for this case. Corporation Counsel determined that notice was proper and correct.
Mark Gershon, attorney of Polsinelli, Inc. and Richard Tucker, CEO of Tucker Developments,
petitioners for a related case, added testimony.

Staff gave a brief history of the area. For many years the OR district only allowed office uses.
In time, suburban office buildings were losing their appeal and office parks were looking to
convert to other compatible uses; consequently, LifeTime Fitness Health Center and the
Holocaust Museum were developed. A major change was then made to allow higher density
multifamily residences to the district south of Old Orchard Road and the Optima Woods complex
was built. Work patterns changed with the onset of the pandemic and many office workers
were performing their duties remotely reducing the need for office space. Last year, regulations
were again modified to add car dealer and marine craft use to the mix. A Carvana car
dealership was approved in 2021 but hasn’t been constructed.

The OR properties north of Old Orchard Road have development restrictions as well (height,
setbacks and landscaping) since they are all located adjacent to residential properties in
Glenview and Wilmette. It is staff’s opinion that a mix of residential types and limited retail uses
would be compatible and a good buffer between the single-family homes and the existing office
developments. Townhouses would be limited to 3 stories; taller residential buildings would have
a setback of 150 ft from residential; and any commercial use that is allowed in the CX district
could front on Old Orchard Road providing the other area businesses and residents with needed
services.

There was much discussion by the commissioners regarding the addition of the limited-service
restaurant and drive-through component. Some commissioners questioned the compatibility of
a fast-food restaurant with a drive-through locating in a “park-like” setting. A Panera would be
600745- September 15, 2022 Plan Commission meeting minutes –Zoning Chapter Amendment
 Return to top of 31P




OK, but a McDonalds wouldn’t. Mr. Gershon added that a limited service restaurant with a
drive-through, like a coffee shop, can bring the community together. With the site plan
approval, the petitioner can control or limit what use is accepted. Staff cautioned that once a
site plan is approved, any limited service restaurant can come in. Another commissioner offered
that the space is approximately 5,000 sq. ft so it won’t be a big user. The chairman inquired if
the Plan Commission can strike out the drive-through element and only recommend approval
for the limited service restaurant. The restaurant must come back to the Plan Commission to
specifically ask for the drive-through. Corporation Counsel advised that the Zoning Code would
have to be amended again. Richard Tucker offered that a coffee shop won’t go in without a
drive-through piece. A commissioner concluded that the most appropriate use would be a
coffee shop with a drive-through.

Before voting, a commissioner wanted verification that by approving the change to the OR
chapter, other fast food restaurants with drive-throughs could locate in the district.

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
During its September 15 ,2022 meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request for Site
Plan Approval for a mixed-use development at 5400-5420 Old Orchard Road. The
proposed development will be located on an 11.16 acre site currently developed as an
office and research building. The site is zoned OR Office Research; the zoning would
remain the same with the understanding that a text amendment is making the
proposed development permissible.

 General Information
 Location 5400-5420 Old Orchard Road
 Purpose To request site plan approval to construct a mixed-use
 development with 3- or more unit multiple family residential,
 townhouse residential, retail and a limited service restaurant with
 drive-through in a OR Office Research district, and any items of
 relief that may be discovered during the review of this case.
 Petitioner Barco Land Development, LLC on behalf of TD 5400 Old Orchard,
 LLC
 Size of Site Approximately 486,006 SF (11.16 Acres) with frontage on Old
 Orchard Road.
 Existing Zoning & OR Office Research – Existing Office and Research Buildings
 Land Use

 Comprehensive Plan The site is designated as service employment.


SITE INFORMATION

VOSDOCS‐#602781‐v1‐Plan_Commission_Report_5400‐5420_Old_Orchard_Road 1
 Return to top of 32P




 The site is currently developed with office and research buildings that are still
 occupied.
 Village staff has reviewed several potential development plans for the subject site;
 however, none went on to the full public hearing process.
 The Pace 208 Bus Route operates along Golf Road, and CTA 54A Bus Route
 operates along Old Orchard Road. Each has a stop at Woods Drive.
 The Skokie Valley Trail runs along the east side of the Life Time Fitness property
 and south of Old Orchard Road on the east side of the OR district.
 The subject site is part of a two-lot development including a health and fitness
 center and research and testing laboratory with business offices which was
 approved by site plan approval ordinance V.O. #00-9-Z-2930. The current site plan
 approval ordinance should be amended to remove the subject site and a new site
 plan approval ordinance created.


The proposed use is not consistent with the comprehensive plan; however, staff is open
to considering residential and limited commercial uses at this location. Despite the
inconsistency, the property is adjacent to an existing OR zoning district to the south of
Old Orchard Road where residential buildings are allowed and have been compatible
with office and institutional uses. The proposed development will be an allowable use
in the OR district based on the approval of Zoning Ordinance amendment case 2022-
31P. The purpose of the OR district is to allow the development of business and
professional offices, uses with "higher intensity" residential developments with a mix of
residence types, and other compatible uses in a planned park-like setting. The proposed
development meets these requirements by providing townhome residences along the
north property line of the site, higher intensity multi-story residential buildings in the
center of the site, and a mix of commercial and residential uses fronting Old Orchard
Road to the south.


Barco Land Development, LLC on behalf of TD 5400 Old Orchard, LLC intends to
facilitate the development of a mixed-use development at the northwest corner of Old
Orchard Road and Woods Drive. The subject site is currently occupied by the Portland
Cement Association on an 11.16 acre site. The development is part of a planned
development that includes Life Time Fitness Center which is located on a parcel
subdivided from Portland Cement property. The proposed plan overview:
  Building Square Feet (SF) and Units:
 o Commercial: 13,000 SF total
 8,000 SF contained in the main residential building facing Old Orchard Road
 + 5,000 SF in a free-standing building with a drive-through facility
 o Residential: 294 rental units at 26.3 units per acre.
 49 townhouse units (3 story)

 Return to top of 32P




 245 units in a 4-story building containing 4 studio units, (65) 1-bed, (123) 2-
 bed and (53) 3-bed units
  Mixed-use Building First Floor Uses: commercial, residential lobby and related uses,
 structured parking, and a clubhouse.

  Building Height: Townhomes 3 Floors (35FT) Apartments 4 Floors (50 FT)
  Other Features: Two courtyards for use by residents
  Motor vehicle access to the subject site will use the existing signalized full access
 driveway at Woods Drive and Old Orchard Road and 2 limited access right in and out
 driveways on Old Orchard Road.
Pedestrian access will be via public sidewalks abutting the property and a multi-use
path south of Old Orchard Road. The public sidewalk will also accommodate bicyclists
and connects the Skokie Valley Trail to the Harms Woods Forest Preserve.

Bird Friendly Design
The Village is currently investigating and working on developing bird friendly building
design guidelines. Although the tallest building will only have a height of 50 FT bird
friendly design should be considered as the building is adjacent to Forest Preserve
property to the south.
Sustainability
The applicant has indicated they will employ sustainability measures in this project.
Staff has suggested investigating Green Globes Certification, installation of solar panels
where appropriate, and management of refuse with attention to waste diversion (e.g.
composting).
Affordable Housing
The applicant is proposing that 13 units within the apartment complex at the project be
designated for rents affordable at 100% of Area Median Income. The composition of
the units would reflect the unit mix of the apartment complex: four studios, four one-
bedroom apartments, three two-bedroom apartments, and two three-bedroom
apartments.
INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was advertised, posted, and delivered to property owners in the area as prescribed
by the Zoning chapter of the Village Code. There were no comments from members of the
public during the Plan Commission meeting.
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
On August 10, 2022, the Appearance Commission approved Case 2022-32P, reviewed
and approved the proposed building elevations, signage and landscaping concepts. It
was required that the 1st floor glazing shall be of clear and transparent glass. A bird
strike mitigation policy or guidelines are currently being considered by the Village. Since
the property is adjacent to Harms Woods, bird-friendly glass or other mitigation
measures may be necessary. The proposed apartment building, commercial and
townhomes have a modern design with a combination of brick and wood look and other
panel materials. The Appearance Commission approved the appearance of three ground
signs for the site. Although one ground sign is generally allowed per site, they are
allowed under the site plan approval process.
PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommended, by votes of 6 ayes, 0 nays, and 3 absent that- the
petitioner’s requests for the site plan approval at 5400-5420 Old Orchard in the OR
Office Research Park be APPROVED, based upon the Proposed Positive Findings of


VOSDOCS‐#602781‐v1‐Plan_Commission_Report_5400‐5420_Old_Orchard_Road 5
 Return to top of 32P




Fact and the recommended conditions below. The Plan Commission further
recommended relief from the following sections of the Zoning Ordinance:
  §118-175.(4) to allow a rear lot of 28’ rather than the required 30’
  §118-175(6) to allow 37% lot coverage by buildings rather than the 30% allowed
  §118-217(d)(1) to allow parking in a required front yard. The setback will be 15
 feet rather than the required 50 feet.
  §118-212(k)(a) to allow lighting levels less than illumination standards for
 parking lots in areas by using 16-foot poles that are more compatible with the
 residential townhome design.
Additional recommendations included:
  three ground signs shown on the site plan be approved as recommended by the
 Appearance Commission.
  Site Plan Approval Ordinance V.O. 00-9-Z-2930 be amended to remove the
 subject site from the overall site plan and that two new site plan approval
 ordinances be adopted.

 Draft Plan Commission Meeting Minutes
 Date: September 15, 2022

A motion to approve the minutes of the September 1, 2022 Plan Commission meeting was
made by Commissioner Burman, seconded by Commissioner Ousley, and approved by all with a
voice vote.

Case Descriptions:

2022-32P – Site Plan Approval: 5400-5420 Old Orchard Road (exact addresses to be
determined)
Barco Land Development, LLC, on behalf of TD 5400 Old Orchard, LLC, is requesting site plan
approval to construct a mixed-use development with 3 or more unit multifamily residential,
townhouse residential, retail, and a limited-service restaurant with drive-through in an OR Office
Research district at 5400-5420 Old Orchard Road (exact addresses to be determined), and any
items of relief that may be discovered during the review of this case.

PIN: 10-09-100-019-0000

Discussion and Interested Parties

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

Mark Gershon, attorney of Polsinelli, Inc., presented the case. He introduced members of the
development team: Richard Tucker, CEO of Tucker Developments, Aaron Tucker, President of
Tucker Development, Mark Kurensky and Mark Hopkins of HKM Architects, Robert Gudmunson,
Civil Engineer of RWG Engineering, and Luay Aboona, of KLOA, Traffic Engineers. All were
sworn in and gave testimony.

The proposed mixed-use development was presented and approved by the Appearance
Commission at their August 10, 2022 meeting. The site is part of a 2-lot planned development
with LifeTime Fitness Center. The existing site plan ordinance will need to be amended to
remove the subject site and 2 new site plan approvals be adopted.

Richard & Aaron Tucker gave the commission some background of their knowledge and
experience with retail and mixed-use properties. This is a very appealing site because of the
feeling of openness. There are bike and walking trails in the surrounding green space as well
as being close to the highway and shopping mall. Also, as a benefit, is the neighboring fitness
center and the proximity to a medical facility.

Mr. Gershon displayed a variety of slides showing the development layout. A smaller free-
standing retail building with a drive-through facility and commercial spaces will front Old
Orchard Road. A clubhouse with a courtyard area is nestled behind. The main residential
building, in the center of the site, will contain 245 rental units (studios, 1, 2, and 3-bedroom)
with 420 parking spaces in a parking deck. Forty-nine 3-story townhouses are located closest to

600808- September 15, 2022 Plan Commission meeting minutes –Site Plan Approval – TD 5400
Old Orchard LLC
 Return to top of 32P




the single-family residences of Glenview; each unit with 2-car garages plus .5 parking spaces
per unit for visitors.

The custom landscaping and utility plans were briefly reviewed. Stormwater will be contained
on-site in vaults and over-sized fixtures and sewers. The traffic analysis showed that there will
not be a negative impact and no modifications are needed. The development can use the signal
at Woods Drive. When comparing the new development with an existing office building, the
same amount of traffic or more would be generated from the office building. Old Orchard Road
will be the main access with right turns in and out of the complex.

The chairman mentioned the courthouse flooding and asked about water run-off from Glenview.
There will be a gentle pitch from north to south – nothing will flow to Glenview.

Another commissioner asked about bird strike mitigation, lighting, and glass considerations.
Other than the ground floor retail areas, most of the buildings will not be covered by windows.
The railings, as well, will not be glass. The landscape plan encourages pollinators. Relief is
being requested for the lighting plan – they would like to create a “dark sky” so they can use
lower light but meet code requirements.

Staff requested that the reports be accepted into the record as written and spoke of the
following requested items of relief:
 - To allow a rear yard of 28’ rather than 30’
 - To allow 37% lot coverage by buildings rather than 30% allowed
 - To allow parking in the required front yard with a setback of 15’ instead of 50’
 - To allow less lighting levels than illumination standards for parking lots

In conclusion, Mr. Gershon reiterated that this development is a high-quality project. It will
support the Old Orchard mall and the commercial uses will be a good buffer to the townhouses
and single-family properties to the north.

A commissioner commented that the new development has less concrete and more green
space. Another commissioner asked if there can be greater control over restaurants with drive-
throughs. Staff stated that every drive-through request needs to submit a parking and traffic
analysis.

PROPOSAL SUMMARY
Barco Land Development, LLC on behalf of TD 5400 Old Orchard, LLC intends to
facilitate the development of a mixed-use development at the northwest corner of Old
Orchard Road and Woods Drive. The subject site is currently occupied by the Portland

 Return to top of 32P




  Motor vehicle access to the subject site will use the existing signalized full access
 driveway at Woods Drive and Old Orchard Road and 2 limited access right in and out
 driveways on Old Orchard Road.
Pedestrian access will be via public sidewalks abutting the property and a multi-use path south
of Old Orchard Road. The public sidewalk will also accommodate bicyclists and connects the
Skokie Valley Trail to the Harms Woods Forest Preserve.
STAFF REVIEW
All pertinent departments and divisions were offered an opportunity to comment on this case.
The following is a summary of principal aspects of the proposed development:

Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan has identified uses for this site as service employment in Sector H.
The proposed use is not consistent with the comprehensive plan; however, staff is open to
considering residential and limited commercial uses at this location. Despite the inconsistency,
the property is adjacent to an existing OR zoning district to the south of Old Orchard Road
where residential buildings are allowed and have been compatible with office and institutional
uses. The proposed development will be an allowable use in the OR district based on the
approval of Zoning Ordinance amendment case 2022-31P.

Land Use
The purpose of the OR district is to allow the development of business and professional
offices, uses with "higher intensity" residential developments with a mix of residence
types, and other compatible uses in a planned park-like setting. The proposed
development meets these requirements by providing townhome residences along the
north property line of the site, higher intensity multi-story residential buildings in the
center of the site, and a mix of commercial and residential uses fronting Old Orchard
Road to the south.

Zoning Requirements
The proposed building and improvements will adhere to the updated OR Office Research district
requirements for properties north of Old Orchard Road, or as otherwise allowed with relief.
Bulk requirements include the following:
 Building height. 105 FT and 40 FT for residential buildings within 100 feet of a
 residentially zoned or used property.
 Front yard. A front yard of 50 feet is required. Residential uses located north of
 Old Orchard Road with a maximum height of 40 feet or less shall have a front
 yard of 25 feet.
 Side yards. Side yards of 50 feet are required. Residential uses located north of
 Old Orchard Road with a maximum height of 40 feet or less shall have a side yard
 of 8 feet.

32P_Site_Plan_Approval_for_Residential_Development_5400‐5420_Old_Orchard_Road_ 3
600516v1
 Return to top of 32P




 Rear yard. A rear yard of 50 feet is required. Residential uses located north of
 Old Orchard Road with a maximum height of 40 feet or less shall have a rear yard
 of 30 feet.
 Maximum land coverage of buildings is 30 percent of the lot area.


Proposed heights, distances, and concepts:
  Building height: Apartments 50 FT to Top of Parapet –
 4 stories maximum

 Townhomes 35 FT to Top of Parapet –
 3 stories maximum

  Front yard: Apartments/Commercial 72’ to 77’
 Townhomes (Not Applicable)

  Side yard: Apartments/Commercial 50’ to 80’
 Townhomes 12’ to 25’

  Rear Yard: Apartments/Commercial 400’ to north border of site.
 Townhomes 28’ to 31’ (requirement not met)

  Lot coverage by buildings 37% (requirement not met)


Items of relief requested for this development:
  §118-175.(4) to allow a rear lot of 28’ rather than the required 30’
  §118-175(6) to allow 37% lot coverage by buildings rather than the 30% allowed
Building Design
The Appearance Commission, in case 2022-049A, reviewed and approved the proposed
building elevations, signage and landscaping concepts at its August 10th meeting. It was
required that the 1st floor glazing shall be of clear and transparent glass. A bird strike
mitigation policy or guidelines are currently being considered by the Village. Since the
property is adjacent to Harms Woods, bird-friendly glass or other mitigation measures
may be necessary. The proposed apartment building, commercial and townhomes have
a modern design with a combination of brick and wood look and other panel materials.
The Appearance Commission approved the appearance of three ground signs for the
site. Although one ground sign is generally allowed per site, they are allowed under the
site plan approval process.

Traffic Generation, Parking, Access, & Circulation
KLOA traffic consultants reviewed the proposed development and submitted a Traffic
Impact Study, dated July 15, 2022. The analysis indicated that the site will generate a
total of 2,190 two-way trips per day which is less than the current 183,000 SF office
complex occupying the site. The results of the analysis show that the projected traffic
can be accommodated by the roadway network and will have limited impact on
adjacent intersections. No roadway improvements are recommended to accommodate
the use.
The internal site driveways and two full access driveways to the garage were
determined to be adequate. The proposed access off Old Orchard Road will be
restricted to right turn in and out only improving traffic flow and reducing points of
conflict along Old Orchard Road.
The 420 parking spaces will serve 245 units resulting in a parking ratio of 1.71 spaces
per unit. This parking ratio is consistent with other suburban apartment developments.
The Village of Skokie parking requirement for the apartments is 406 spaces. The 49
townhomes will have 2 spaces per unit plus .5 spaces per unit for visitors for a total of
98 spaces that meets Village of Skokie parking requirements.
Although the submitted Architectural Site Plan for the development appears workable,
the plan is not properly dimensioned and does not accurately reflect the size of parking
spaces and driveway aisles. A revised dimensioned site plan is required prior to the
request being sent to the Village Board for approval. A review of the plan may alter the
layout of the site, require the elimination of substandard parking spaces, and reveal
addition required relief from Village standards.
The Engineering Division has reviewed the proposed plans and has submitted the
attached review, dated 8/31/2022. These comments must be addressed before the case
is sent to the Village Board for approval.
It should be noted that the commercial parking for the development along Old Orchard
Road is located in the 50-foot front yard setback. It is staffs’ opinion that relief should
be grant to allow a 17-foot setback rather than the required 50 feet to provided the
needed visibility for the commercial uses. The landscape strip fronting Old Orchard
Road is well developed and will compensate for the reduced yard width.
