some form of mistreatment, or abuse, including physical, emotional, and sexual abuse,
as well as financial exploitation and neglect of basic care needs; and

 WHEREAS, Illinois has approximately two million citizens over the age of
sixty, meaning that as many as 90,000 Illinois seniors could currently be suffering
from some form of abuse; and

 WHEREAS, it is the mission of the Illinois Department on Aging and its
network of service providers, to increase public awareness of this plight against our
most vulnerable elderly; and to promote increased reporting of elder abuse; and

 WHEREAS, it is essential that the citizens of Illinois recognize the signs of
abuse, neglect and exploitation and report suspicions of abuse; and

 WHEREAS, it is imperative that each community in Illinois refuses to
tolerate this offense against our older citizens, by creating greater awareness of the
prevalence and severity of elder abuse in hopes of eradicating it from society.

 NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE VAN DUSEN, Mayor of the Village
of Skokie, do hereby proclaim the month of July 2012, as

 LOT 5 OF H&M REALTY SUBDIVISION, BEING A SUBDIVISION OF PART OF THE
 SOUTHEAST QUARTER OF SECTION 26, TOWNSHIP 41 NORTH, RANGE 13
 EAST OF THE THIRD PRINCIPAL MERIDIAN, IN COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS.
 PIN: 10-26-402-062-0000

 commonly known as 3448-3464 Touhy Avenue, Skokie, Illinois.

 2. At or near the time of execution of this Agreement, the VILLAGE granted an
 Occupancy Permit, Business License, or Special Use Permit hereinafter collectively
 referred to as “permit” pursuant to state statutes and local ordinances.

 3. By the terms of the aforesaid permit, the PROPERTY OWNER is required to install
 and maintain landscaping in accordance with the plan last revised April 25, 2012 or
 as it may be subsequently revised with the approval of the Village Manager, or
 designee, and the Corporation Counsel.

 4. The parties to this Agreement recognize that the installation and maintenance of
 landscaping is an integral part of the PROPERTY OWNER's plan for development
 and/or use of the property and is necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the
 VILLAGE's land use objectives, and that the permit would not have been approved
 by the VILLAGE without the assurance that this Agreement would be executed by
 the PROPERTY OWNER.

 5. The purpose of this Agreement is to assure:

 (a) installation of the landscaping in accordance with the landscaping plan
 approved by the VILLAGE, and
 (b) continued maintenance and care of the landscaping, including any
 landscaping indicated in the parkway area.
 6. The property, which is the subject matter of this Agreement, is legally described
 above. The portions of the subject property which are to be landscaped and
 maintained pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement are indicated on
 the Landscape Plan attached hereto, marked Exhibit “1” and are hereby made a part
 of this Agreement.

 7. PROPERTY OWNER agrees that the installation and maintenance of the
 landscaping which is required in accordance with the permit issued by the VILLAGE
 and this Agreement will materially benefit the subject property. Such landscaping is
 necessary in order for the PROPERTY OWNER to comply with the conditions of the
 permit issued or granted by the VILLAGE for the PROPERTY OWNER’s requested
 development or use of the property.

 8. PROPERTY OWNER shall diligently maintain and care for the landscaping which is
 installed and required by the permit and this Agreement, using generally accepted
 methods of cultivation and watering. The PROPERTY OWNER shall maintain a
 standard of care necessary to prevent the landscaping from deteriorating to the
 extent that its value as landscaping is destroyed. If Exhibit “1”, attached hereto or
 permit specifies maintenance standards or procedures, such procedures are hereby
 adopted as part of this Agreement, and by such adoption, become enforcement
 conditions of this Agreement.

 9. Failure to maintain the landscaping as required by this Agreement shall be a
 nuisance. In the event the PROPERTY OWNER fails to meet the standard of
 maintenance necessary to keep the landscaping in a healthy condition as required
 by this Agreement, the VILLAGE shall give written notice of the deficiency to the
 PROPERTY OWNER who shall have 20 days to make the necessary correction or
 replacement. If such correction or replacement is not made within the aforesaid 20-
 day period, the VILLAGE may elect to abate the nuisance and take necessary action
 to assure that the landscaping is replaced and/or maintained. In the event, the
 VILLAGE so elects; the VILLAGE shall serve notice of its intent to enter the
 premises for this purpose. The VILLAGE shall either personally serve the notice
 upon the PROPERTY OWNER or mail a copy of it by certified mail to the
 PROPERTY OWNER's last known address, or as shown on the tax rolls, at least 15
 days in advance of the date when the VILLAGE or its agent intends to enter the
 premises.

10. For this purpose, the VILLAGE or its agent may enter upon the property and perform
 such work as it considers reasonably necessary and proper to restore, maintain, or
 replace the landscaping required by this Agreement. The VILLAGE may act either
 through its own employees or through an independent contractor.

11. The VILLAGE shall be entitled to reimbursement for abating the nuisance in
 restoring, maintaining or replacing the landscaping, provided that the VILLAGE
 follows the procedures set forth in this Agreement. Costs shall include but shall not
 be limited to actual costs incurred by the VILLAGE and administrative costs. The
 VILLAGE shall make demand upon the PROPERTY OWNER for payment. If the
 PROPERTY OWNER fails to pay the costs within 30 days of the date on which
 demand is made, the VILLAGE may cause a lien to be placed on the subject
 property. The VILLAGE may record a notice with the Recorder of Deeds for Cook
 County stating that it has incurred expenses under the terms this Landscape
 Agreement. The VILLAGE shall be entitled to collect interest at the statutory rate on
 the amount owed.

12. In addition to having a lien placed on the subject property, the VILLAGE may
 institute a legal action to collect the amount owed. The PROPERTY OWNER agrees
 to pay the VILLAGE a reasonable sum for attorney's fees and court costs.

13. If either party upon the execution of this Agreement or during the course of
 performance considers that it is necessary to have the PROPERTY OWNER post
 additional security to guarantee the performance of his obligations hereunder, the
 VILLAGE may require the PROPERTY OWNER to post additional security. The
 VILLAGE may require either a cash deposit or a surety bond guaranteeing
 performance in a form signed by sureties satisfactory to the VILLAGE. The
 condition of the security shall be that if the PROPERTY OWNER fails to perform any
 obligation under this Agreement, the VILLAGE may, act on behalf of the
 PROPERTY OWNER and use the proceeds of the cash bond, or in the case of a
 surety bond, require the securities to perform the obligations of this Agreement.

14. The PROPERTY OWNER hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
 VILLAGE, its trustees, officials, employees and agents for any costs, claims, actions
 or causes of action for personal injury, property damage or otherwise, including
 reasonable attorneys fees, which may arise from the VILLAGE exercising any of its
 rights or obligations and performance under this Agreement.

15. All notices required or to be given pursuant hereto shall be in writing and either
 delivered personally or by a nationally recognized "over-night" courier service or

35 commonly known as a portion of 5701 Oakton Street, Skokie, Illinois (hereinafter “Subject
36 Property”), petitioned the Village of Skokie to reclassify the zoning of the Subject Property
 Page 1 of 3

 VOSDOCS-#404679-v1-Ordinance__2012-
 15P__Zoning_Map_Amendment__5701_Oakton__Niles_West_High_School__M1_and_R1_to_R2
 1 from M1 Office Assembly Industry and R1 Single-Family Residential districts to an R2
 2 Single-Family Residential district; and

 3 WHEREAS, the petitioner desires to rezone the Subject Property in order to place
 4 Niles West High School entirely within the R2 Single-Family Residential zoning district; and

 5 WHEREAS, currently, the Subject Property consists of a senior high school campus,
 6 which includes a large sports playfield area and a driver’s education training track; and

 7 WHEREAS, while senior high schools are a permitted use in an R1 district, they are
 8 not a permitted use in an M1 district. However, the majority of the property occupied by
 9 Niles West High School is already zoned R2 Single-Family and the reclassification will
10 eliminate the existing multiple zones that the high school currently occupies and place the
11 Subject Property wholly within the R2 district where high schools are a permitted use; and

12 WHEREAS, the Subject Property is surrounded by predominately single-family
13 residential uses to the north and mixed manufacturing and service uses to the south, east
14 and west; and

15 WHEREAS, until the late 1950’s when the high school was built, the Subject
16 Property and much of the surrounding area was used for agricultural purposes. The trend
17 in the general area since then has been towards manufacturing/service employment uses to
18 the west, south and east, and single-family residential, industrial and commercial uses to
19 the north. Zoning in the area has remained consistent over the last 50 years; and

20 WHEREAS, the Community Development Department staff concurs with the
21 requested zoning changes, thus, bringing the Subject Property wholly within one zoning
22 district; and

23 WHEREAS, the Skokie Plan Commission, at a public hearing duly held on April 5,
24 2012, heard testimony from one interested party who inquired as to why the property was
25 being rezoned and if it was being rezoned for the construction of single-family residences.
26 Staff stated that the reclassification would result in the Subject Property being a permitted
27 use wholly within one residential district, and that there would be no construction of single-
28 family residences as long as the high school was present; and

29 WHEREAS, after hearing all testimony, the Skokie Plan Commission (i) determined
30 that proper notice had been given; (ii) made the appropriate findings of fact in the affirmative
31 as required under Section 118-32 of the Skokie Village Code and (iii) voted to recommend
32 to the Mayor and Board of Trustees that the requested zoning reclassification be granted
33 and the Official Zoning Map of the Village of Skokie be amended to reflect this
34 reclassification; and

35 WHEREAS, the Mayor and Board of Trustees, after public meeting duly held on May
36 21, 2012, concurred in the aforesaid recommendation of the Plan Commission;

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

27 transmission antennae, in an M3 Industry District; and

28 WHEREAS, Sections 118-83(7) and 118-174(1) of the Skokie Village Code restrict the

19 antennae with a height no greater then 160 feet; and

21 findings of fact as required under Section 118-31 of the Skokie Village Code and voted to

To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairperson
Case: 2012-19P: Zoning Map Amendment
 8120 Skokie Boulevard

 Related Cases – 2012-20P: Zoning Map Amendment
 2012-21P: Zoning Map Amendment

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its April 19, 2012 meeting, the Plan Commission heard a request from the Village of
Skokie to amend the zoning map for the eastern portion of PIN number 10-21-415-003,
which is owned by ComEd, and all of PIN number 10-21-501-011, which is owned by
the Village of Skokie, from B3 Business to CX Core Mixed-Use. The western remainder
of PIN 10-21-415-003 is not included in the petition because it is not contiguous with
the subject site and will remain zoned M2 Light Industry as it is separated from the
subject site by M2-zoned property that is owned by the CTA. The Village desires to
rezone the properties, which contain a portion of the CTA Yellow Line Oakton-Skokie
station and the Kiss ‘n’ Ride drop-off area of the Oakton-Skokie station, to CX in order
to match the zoning of the properties along the east and west sides of Skokie Boulevard
between Main Street and Oakton Street.

The Plan Commission concurred with Staff’s recommendation to grant the zoning map
amendment.

INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to all property owners in
the area of the subject site and all occupants within the subject site as prescribed by
the Zoning Chapter. No interested parties spoke regarding the case.

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommends by a vote of 9 ayes and 0 nays that the petitioner’s
request to amend the zoning map from B3 Business to CX Core Mixed-Use for the
eastern portion of PIN number 10-21-415-003 and all of PIN number 10-21-501-011 be
APPROVED based on the proposed positive findings of fact.

PLAN COMMISSION
POSITIVE FINDINGS OF FACT 2012-19P: Zoning Map Amendment
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, June 4, 2012


1 Consideration Existing use of property within the general area of the property in
 question.
 Findings The subject site consists of a kiss ’n’ ride drop-off area (presently
 under construction) for CTA Yellow Line Oakton-Skokie station.
 The surrounding uses include a short-term municipal parking lot
 (presently under construction), where a walk-up ATM is proposed
 to be located, high-tension overhead power lines and towers,
 several vacant buildings, an auto body shop, a microscope repair
 shop, an electrical construction contractor’s office, a furniture
 store, a bank with drive-through, an auto repair shop, and the CTA
 Yellow Line Oakton-Skokie station (under construction). The
 existing uses in the general area should not be negatively impacted
 by the proposed zoning map amendment.
2 Consideration The zoning classification of property within the general area of the
 property in question.
 Findings Properties to the north, south, and west of the subject site are
 zoned M2 Light Industry. Property to the east of the subject site is
 zoned CX Core Mixed-Use.
3 Consideration The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted
 under the existing zoning classification
 Findings Although local transit systems is a permitted use in the current B3
 zone, rezoning the property to CX will place the property, which
 will contain a portion of the soon-to-open CTA Yellow Line Oakton-
 Skokie station and a kiss ‘n’ ride drop-off area, into a mixed-use
 zone that better reflects the intent of the Village’s Comprehensive
 Plan for Sector A.




#403399 v1 – Master Plan Commission Report – 2012-19P: Zoning Map Amendment: 8120 Skokie Boulevard
 3 of 9
4 Consideration The trend of development, if any, in the general area, on the
 property in question, including changes, if any, which have taken
 place since the day the property in question was placed in its
 present zoning classification.
 Findings The subject site was initially zoned F Business prior to sometime
 between 1952 and 1956, when it was rezoned M2 Light Industry.
 The property has been zoned B3 Business since 1988. A building
 was constructed on PIN 10-21-501-011 in 1962 and the site
 functioned as a service station, automotive repair facility, used car
 sales lot, and truck rental business over the next 45 years until the
 Village tore the building down after acquiring the land. The
 existing high tension overhead power lines were constructed within
 the eastern portion of PIN number 10-21-415-003 sometime prior
 to the early 1960’s.
 The land use trend in the general area within the past 25 years has
 been towards commercial and mixed uses along Skokie Boulevard,
 transportation uses along the CTA Yellow Line between Searle
 Parkway and Oakton Street, and research & development uses to
 the west of the subject site. Zoning in the general area has
 changed significantly over the past 6 years with areas to the north,
 east, and southwest being rezoned to CX Core Mixed-Use, and the
 area to the west being rezoned to B6 Downtown Science and
 Technology.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioner’s Submittal
The Village of Skokie is requesting a zoning map amendment from B3 Business to CX
Core Mixed-Use for the eastern portion of PIN number 10-21-415-003, which is owned
by ComEd, and all of PIN number 10-21-501-011, which is owned by the Village of
Skokie. The western remainder of PIN 10-21-415-003 is not contiguous with the
subject site and will remain zoned M2 Light Industry since it is separated from the
subject site by CTA-owned property that is zoned M2. The Village desires to rezone the
properties, which will contain a portion of the CTA Yellow Line Oakton-Skokie station
and a kiss ‘n’ ride drop-off area, to CX in order to match the zoning of the properties
along the east and west sides of Skokie Boulevard between Main Street and Oakton
Street.

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 had no comments.

Engineering Division
The Engineering Division has no objection to the proposed zoning map amendment.

Planning Division
The Planning Division has reviewed the submitted materials and supports the proposed
zoning map amendment. Although local transit systems is a permitted use in the
current B3 zone, rezoning the property to CX will place the property into a mixed-use
zone that better reflects the intent of the Village’s Comprehensive Plan for Sector A.
The subject site was initially zoned F Business until sometime between 1952 and 1956,
when it was rezoned M2 Light Industry. A building was constructed on PIN 10-21-501-
011 in 1962 and the site functioned as a service station, automotive repair facility, used
car sales lot, and truck rental business over the next 45 years until the Village
demolished the building after acquiring the land. The existing high tension overhead
power lines were constructed within the eastern portion of PIN number 10-21-415-003
sometime prior to the early 1960’s. In 1988, the Village Manager requested that the
Plan Commission study the possibility of rezoning all of the properties along the west
side of Skokie Boulevard, between Washington Street and Oakton Street, and east of
the CTA Yellow Line right-of-way, from M2 Light Industry to B3 Business (case 88-22P).
The Plan Commission recommended rezoning only that part south of Searle Parkway
and east of the CTA Yellow Line to B3 and leaving the remainder of the properties along
Skokie Boulevard zoned M2 because, at the time, the property on the south side of
Searle was more conducive for commercial redevelopment than the industrially-used
properties north of Searle.
#403399 v1 – Master Plan Commission Report – 2012-19P: Zoning Map Amendment: 8120 Skokie Boulevard
 6 of 9
In 2008, Skokie’s Temporary Zoning Commission recommended approval of the creation
of 3 new mixed-use zoning districts that implemented portions of the 2020 Plan for
Sector A: Downtown. The Village acquired PIN 10-21-501-011 in 2009 through eminent
domain in preparation for the construction of the new CTA Yellow Line station.
Although most of the properties along Skokie Boulevard were rezoned to CX earlier that
year, PIN 10-21-501-011 remained zoned B3 due to the fact that the property was
involved in a court case to determine the total amount of compensation owed to the
previous property owner as a result of the Village’s eminent domain proceedings – a
matter that was not resolved until early 2012.
Current surrounding uses include a short-term municipal parking lot (under
construction), a proposed walk-up ATM, high-tension overhead power lines and towers,
several vacant buildings, an auto body shop, a microscope repair shop, an electrical
construction contractor’s office, a furniture store, a bank with drive-through, an auto
repair shop, and the CTA Yellow Line Oakton-Skokie station (under construction).
The land use trend in the general area within the past 25 years has been towards
commercial and mixed uses along Skokie Boulevard, transportation uses along the CTA
Yellow Line between Searle Parkway and Oakton Street, and research & development
uses to the west of the subject site. Zoning in the general area has changed
significantly over the past 6 years. In 2006, in preparation for the development of the
Illinois Science + Technology Park, the former Searle campus to the west of the subject
site was rezoned from M2 to B6 Downtown Science and Technology (case 2006-19P).
In 2009, most of the properties along Skokie Boulevard between Oakton and Main were
rezoned from B3 to CX. Residential properties that had previously been zoned R4
General along the west side of Keating Avenue were also rezoned to CX at that time.
The Crafty Beaver Home Center property, located to the southwest of the subject site,
was rezoned to CX from M2 in 2009 as well.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request to amend the zoning map from B3
Business to CX Core Mixed-Use for the eastern portion of PIN number 10-21-415-003
and all of PIN number 10-21-501-011 be GRANTED, subject to the attached Proposed
Positive Findings of Fact.

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its April 19, 2012 meeting, the Plan Commission heard a request from the Village of
Skokie to amend the zoning map from M2 Light Industry to CX Core Mixed-Use and B6
Downtown Science and Technology for PIN numbers 10-21-415-042 and 10-21-500-
026. The Village desires to rezone both properties, which will contain a portion of the
Skokie Valley Trail multi-use path (currently under construction), to CX and B6 in order
to match the zoning of the properties along the east and west sides of the subject site.
While all of PIN 10-21-415-042 and the southern half of PIN 10-21-500-026 will be
rezoned to CX, the northern half of PIN 10-21-500-026 will be rezoned to B6 as it runs
between CX-zoned properties that are occupied by the Illinois Science + Technology
Park.

The Plan Commission concurred with Staff’s recommendation to grant the zoning map
amendment.

INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to all property owners in

PLAN COMMISSION
POSITIVE FINDINGS OF FACT 2012-20P: Zoning Map Amendment
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, June 4, 2012


1 Consideration Existing use of property within the general area of the property in
 question.
 Findings The subject site is in the process of being developed into a portion
 of the Skokie Valley Trail multi-use path. The surrounding uses
 include another section of the Skokie Valley Trail multi-use path
 that is under construction on the north side of Searle, food and
 greeting card manufacturing companies, a grocery store, a produce
 market, an office building, a parking garage for Illinois Science +
 Technology Park, a construction material sales center, a research &
 development campus, a municipal parking lot, and a drug store.
 The existing uses in the general area should not be negatively
 impacted by the proposed zoning map amendment.
2 Consideration The zoning classification of property within the general area of the
 property in question.
 Findings Properties to the north of the subject site are zoned M2 Light
 Industry. Properties to the south of the subject site are zoned CX
 Core Mixed-Use. Properties to the east and west of the subject
 site are zoned B6 Downtown Science and Technology and CX Core
 Mixed-Use.
3 Consideration The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted
 under the existing zoning classification
 Findings Although parks are a permitted use in the current M2 zone,
 rezoning the property to CX will place the property, which will
 contain a portion of the Skokie Valley Trail multi-use path, into
 zoning that matches the existing zoning of the adjacent properties
 to the east and west.




#403432 v1 – Master Plan Commission Report – 2012-20P: Zoning Map Amendment: 4820 Oakton Street
 3 of 9
4 Consideration The trend of development, if any, in the general area, on the
 property in question, including changes, if any, which have taken
 place since the day the property in question was placed in its
 present zoning classification.
 Findings The subject site has been zoned G Light Industry/M2 Light
 Industry since 1946. The property was originally the site of the
 Chicago and North Western Railway (later Union Pacific Railroad)
 tracks. The railroad tracks remained in active use until 2002, when
 the Crafty Beaver Home Center stopped receiving lumber
 shipments by rail. The tracks were abandoned several years later
 by Union Pacific, and the Village of Skokie acquired the land in
 2010. A section of the Skokie Valley Trail multi-use path, which
 will eventually run from Lincoln Avenue to Dempster Street, is
 presently being constructed within the subject site.
 The land use trend in the general area within the past 25 years has
 been towards commercial and mixed uses along Skokie Boulevard
 and Oakton Street, transportation uses along the CTA Yellow Line
 between Searle Parkway and Oakton Street, and research &
 development uses to the west of the subject site. Zoning in the
 general area has changed significantly over the past 6 years with
 areas to the east and west being rezoned to CX Core Mixed-Use
 and B6 Downtown Science and Technology from M2 and B5, and
 the area to the south being rezoned from B5 to CX.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioner’s Submittal
The Village of Skokie is requesting a zoning map amendment from M2 Light Industry to
CX Core Mixed-Use and B6 Downtown Science and Technology for PIN numbers 10-21-
415-042 and 10-21-500-026. The Village desires to rezone both properties, which will
contain a portion of the Skokie Valley Trail multi-use path (which is currently under
construction), to CX and B6 in order to match the zoning of the properties along the
east and west sides of the subject site. All of PIN 10-21-415-042 will be rezoned to CX.
PIN 10-21-500-026 will be split at a line drawn as a southwesterly extension of the
existing south property line of the Illinois Science + Technology parking garage (also
being the south line of Lot 7 in the Illinois Science and Technology Park Subdivision) to
the west line of PIN 10-21-500-026, with the area to the north of the line zoned B6 and
the area to the south zoned CX. The Village will file a petition with Cook County to
divide PIN 10-21-500-026 into 2 new parcels so that the separately-zoned areas will
have their own PINs in the future.

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 had no comments.

Engineering Division
The Engineering Division has no objection to the proposed zoning map amendment.

Planning Division
The Planning Division has reviewed the submitted materials and supports the proposed
zoning map amendment. Although parks are a permitted use in the current M2 zone,
rezoning the property to CX will place the property, which will contain a portion of the
Skokie Valley Trail multi-use path, into zoning that matches the existing zoning of the
adjacent properties to the east and west.
The subject site has been zoned G Light Industry/M2 Light Industry since 1946. The
property was originally the site of the Chicago and North Western Railway (later Union
Pacific Railroad) tracks. The railroad tracks remained in active use until 2002 when the
Crafty Beaver Home Center stopped receiving lumber shipments by rail. The tracks
were abandoned several years later by Union Pacific, and the Village of Skokie acquired
the land in 2010. A section of the Skokie Valley Trail multi-use path, which will
eventually run from Lincoln Avenue to Dempster Street, is presently being constructed
within the subject site.
Current surrounding uses include a section of the Skokie Valley Trail multi-use path that
is under construction on the north side of Searle, food and greeting card manufacturing

companies, a grocery store, a produce market, an office building, a parking garage for
Illinois Science + Technology Park, a construction material sales center, a research &
development campus, a municipal parking lot, and a drug store.
The land use trend in the general area within the past 25 years has been towards
commercial and mixed uses along Skokie Boulevard and Oakton Street, transportation
uses along the CTA Yellow Line between Searle Parkway and Oakton Street, and
research & development uses to the west of the subject site. Zoning in the general
area has changed significantly over the past 6 years. In 2006, in preparation for the
development of the Illinois Science + Technology Park, the former Searle campus to the
west of the subject site and the parking garage to the east of the subject site were both
rezoned from M2 to B6 Downtown Science and Technology (case 2006-19P). In 2009,
The Crafty Beaver Home Center property, located to the east of the subject site, was
rezoned to CX from M2. The municipal parking lot and the Walgreens drug store to the
west of the subject site, the grocery store, produce market, and office building to the
south of the subject site were all rezoned from B5 Downtown to CX in 2009 as well.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request to amend the zoning map from M2 Light
Industry to CX Core Mixed-Use and B6 Downtown Science and Technology be
GRANTED, subject to the attached Proposed Positive Findings of Fact.

Proposed Positive Findings of Fact 2012-20P: Zoning Map Amendment
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, April 19, 2012


1 Consideration Existing use of property within the general area of the property in
 question.
 Findings The subject site is in the process of being developed into a portion
 of the Skokie Valley Trail multi-use path. The surrounding uses
 include another section of the Skokie Valley Trail multi-use path
 that is under construction on the north side of Searle, food and
 greeting card manufacturing companies, a grocery store, a produce
 market, an office building, a parking garage for Illinois Science +
 Technology Park, a construction material sales center, a research &
 development campus, a municipal parking lot, and a drug store.
 The existing uses in the general area should not be negatively
 impacted by the proposed zoning map amendment.
2 Consideration The zoning classification of property within the general area of the
 property in question.
 Findings Properties to the north of the subject site are zoned M2 Light
 Industry. Properties to the south of the subject site are zoned CX
 Core Mixed-Use. Properties to the east and west of the subject
 site are zoned B6 Downtown Science and Technology and CX Core
 Mixed-Use.
3 Consideration The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted
 under the existing zoning classification
 Findings Although parks are a permitted use in the current M2 zone,
 rezoning the property to CX will place the property, which will
 contain a portion of the Skokie Valley Trail multi-use path, into
 zoning that matches the existing zoning of the adjacent properties
 to the east and west.

4 Consideration The trend of development, if any, in the general area, on the
 property in question, including changes, if any, which have taken
 place since the day the property in question was placed in its
 present zoning classification.
 Findings The subject site has been zoned G Light Industry/M2 Light
 Industry since 1946. The property was originally the site of the
 Chicago and North Western Railway (later Union Pacific Railroad)
 tracks. The railroad tracks remained in active use until 2002, when
 the Crafty Beaver Home Center stopped receiving lumber
 shipments by rail. The tracks were abandoned several years later
 by Union Pacific, and the Village of Skokie acquired the land in
 2010. A section of the Skokie Valley Trail multi-use path, which
 will eventually run from Lincoln Avenue to Dempster Street, is
 presently being constructed within the subject site.
 The land use trend in the general area within the past 25 years has
 been towards commercial and mixed uses along Skokie Boulevard
 and Oakton Street, transportation uses along the CTA Yellow Line
 between Searle Parkway and Oakton Street, and research &
 development uses to the west of the subject site. Zoning in the
 general area has changed significantly over the past 6 years with
 areas to the east and west being rezoned to CX Core Mixed-Use
 and B6 Downtown Science and Technology from M2 and B5, and
 the area to the south being rezoned from B5 to CX.

Case Description

2012-20P – Zoning Map Amendment: 4820 Oakton Street
Village of Skokie requests a zoning map amendment from M2 Light Industry to CX Core
Mixed-use and B6 Downtown Science and Technology for PIN numbers 10-21-415-042
& 10-21-500-026.

Discussion and 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.

Staff provided a summary of the staff report. The Village would like to rezone both
parcels which will contain a portion of the multi-use path which is under construction to
CX and B6 to match the zoning of the properties along the east and west sides of the
subject site. The north side will change to B6 and the south end will have the CX
designation. This southern portion was not included when surrounding properties were
changed to CX in 2009 because some of the property was not owned by the Village at
that time. The Village will file with Cook County so that each separately zoned property
will have its own PIN number.


There were no questions from the commissioners or any from the audience.


Recommendation and Voting

The Plan Commission moved to recommend approval of this case based on positive
findings of fact. This motion was approved with a vote of 9 ayes and 0 nays.

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its April 19, 2012 meeting, the Plan Commission heard a request from the Village of
Skokie to amend the zoning map from M2 Light Industry to CX Core Mixed-Use for 8158
Skokie Boulevard at the northwest corner of Skokie Boulevard and Searle Parkway. The
Village desires to rezone this property. This property will contain a short-term
municipal parking lot and a proposed ATM machine (case 2012-22P). A rezoning to CX
is requested in order to match the zoning of the properties along the east and west
sides of Skokie Boulevard between Main Street and Oakton Street.

The Plan Commission concurred with Staff’s recommendation to grant the zoning map
amendment.
In response to a question by a commissioner who wanted to confirm that the Village
had no intention to change the zoning to the north of Searle Parkway and west of the
CTA Yellow Line tracks, staff replied that the area in question would remain zoned M2.

INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to all property owners in
the area of the subject site and all occupants within the subject site as prescribed by
the Zoning Chapter. No interested parties spoke regarding the case.

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommends by a vote of 9 ayes and 0 nays that the petitioner’s
request to amend the zoning map from M2 Light Industry to CX Core Mixed-Use for
8158 Skokie Boulevard be APPROVED based on the proposed positive findings of fact.

PLAN COMMISSION
POSITIVE FINDINGS OF FACT 2012-21P: Zoning Map Amendment
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, June 4, 2012


1 Consideration Existing use of property within the general area of the property in
 question.
 Findings The subject site consists of a short-term municipal parking lot
 (presently under construction) where a walk-up ATM is proposed to
 be located. The surrounding uses include a public storage facility,
 vacant auto dealership buildings, a kiss ’n’ ride drop-off area for
 CTA Yellow Line Oakton-Skokie station (presently under
 construction), CTA Yellow Line tracks, high-tension overhead
 power lines, a greeting card manufacturing company. The existing
 uses in the general area should not be negatively impacted by the
 proposed zoning map amendment.
2 Consideration The zoning classification of property within the general area of the
 property in question.
 Findings Properties to the north and east of the subject site are zoned CX
 Core Mixed-Use. Property to the south of the subject site is zoned
 B3 Business. Property to the west of the subject site is zoned M2
 Light Industry.
3 Consideration The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted
 under the existing zoning classification
 Findings Although local transit systems is a permitted use in the current M2
 zone, rezoning the property to CX will place the property, which
 will contain a short-term municipal parking lot and a proposed ATM
 machine, into a transit-oriented zone that reflects the intent of the
 Village’s Comprehensive Plan for Sector A.




#403448 v1 – Master Plan Commission Report – 2012-21P: Zoning Map Amendment: 8158 Skokie Boulevard
 3 of 9
4 Consideration The trend of development, if any, in the general area, on the
 property in question, including changes, if any, which have taken
 place since the day the property in question was placed in its
 present zoning classification.
 Findings The subject site was initially zoned F Business prior to sometime
 between 1952 and 1956, when it was rezoned M2 Light Industry. A
 building was constructed on the subject site in 1960 and the site
 operated as a car wash, used car dealership, and automotive repair
 facility until 2008 when the Village demolished the building after
 acquiring the land.
 The land use trend in the general area within the past 25 years has
 been towards commercial and mixed uses along Skokie Boulevard,
 transportation uses along the CTA Yellow Line between Searle
 Parkway and Oakton Street, and research & development uses to
 the west of the subject site. Zoning in the general area has
 changed significantly over the past 6 years with areas to the north,
 east, and southwest being rezoned to CX Core Mixed-Use, and the
 area to the west being rezoned to B6 Downtown Science and
 Technology.

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 had no comments.

Engineering Division
The Engineering Division has no objection to the proposed zoning map amendment.

Planning Division
The Planning Division has reviewed the submitted materials and supports the proposed
zoning map amendment. Although local transit systems is a permitted use in the
current M2 zone, rezoning the property to CX will place the property, which will contain
a short-term municipal parking lot and a proposed ATM machine, into a transit-oriented
zone that reflects the intent of the Village’s Comprehensive Plan for Sector A.
The subject site was initially zoned F Business until sometime between 1952 and 1956,
when it was rezoned M2 Light Industry. A building was constructed on the subject site
in 1960 and the site operated as a car wash, used car dealership, and automotive repair
facility until 2008 when the Village demolished the building after acquiring the land. In
1988, the Village Manager requested that the Plan Commission study the possibility of
rezoning all of the properties along the west side of Skokie Boulevard, between
Washington Street and Oakton Street, and east of the CTA Yellow Line right-of-way,
from M2 Light Industry to B3 Business (case 88-22P). The Plan Commission
recommended rezoning only that part south of Searle Parkway and east of the CTA
Yellow Line to B3 and leaving the remainder of the properties, including the subject
site, along Skokie Boulevard zoned M2 because, at the time, the property on the south
side of Searle was more conducive for commercial redevelopment than the industrially-
used properties north of Searle.
In 2008, Skokie’s Temporary Zoning Commission recommended approval of the creation
of 3 new mixed-use zoning district that implemented portions of the 2020 Plan for
Sector A: Downtown Village. The Village acquired the subject site in 2009 through
eminent domain in preparation for the construction of the new CTA Yellow Line station.
Although most of the properties along Skokie Boulevard were rezoned to CX earlier that
year, the subject site remained zoned M2 because the property was still involved in
eminent domain proceedings at the time.
Current surrounding uses include a public storage facility, vacant auto dealership
buildings, a kiss ’n’ ride drop-off area for CTA Yellow Line Oakton-Skokie station (under
construction), CTA Yellow Line tracks, high-tension overhead power lines, and a
greeting card manufacturing company.

The land use trend in the general area within the past 25 years has been towards
commercial and mixed uses along Skokie Boulevard, transportation uses along the CTA
Yellow Line between Searle Parkway and Oakton Street, and research & development
uses to the west of the subject site. Zoning in the general area has changed
significantly over the past 6 years. In 2006, in preparation for the development of the
Illinois Science + Technology Park, the former Searle campus to the southwest of the
subject site was rezoned from M2 to B6 Downtown Science and Technology (case 2006-
19P). In 2009, most of the properties along Skokie Boulevard between Oakton and
Main were rezoned from B3 to CX. Residential properties that had previously been
zoned R4 General along the west side of Keating Avenue were also rezoned to CX at
that time. The Crafty Beaver Home Center property, located to the southwest of the
subject site, was rezoned to CX from M2 in 2009 as well.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request to amend the zoning map from M2 Light
Industry to CX Core Mixed-Use for 8158 Skokie Boulevard be GRANTED, subject to the

Case: 2012-22P: Zoning Map Amendment
 8158 Skokie Boulevard (outdoor ATM)

 Related Case: 2012-21P: Zoning Map Amendment (from M2 to CX)

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
During its April 19, 2012, meeting, the Plan Commission heard a request from the
Village of Skokie to provide outdoor automated teller machine (ATM) services 24 hours
a day and 7 days a week to commuters at 8158 Skokie Boulevard, via a third party
provider. The ATM will be located within a new waiting area lot, which will include an
open space with a sculpture and seating areas, and will be located across the street
from the new Oakton-Skokie Station. No habitable building will be a part of the site.
The Oakton-Skokie Station Waiting Area Lot was designed by the Engineering Division,
and the proposed ATM will be located per the site design.
The Village of Skokie Comprehensive Plan identified the subject site as a pedestrian
oriented mix use; however, this site is across the street from the new Oakton-Skokie
Station, and since additional transit-supporting uses were needed near the station, this
property was selected to accommodate such uses. The primary benefit of the ATM will
be to provide convenient access to financial transactions for the traveling public using
the new Oakton-Skokie Station. ATMs are allowable uses in all zoning districts where a
bank is allowed. Since this is a proposed outdoor ATM, a special use permit is required.
Once the lessee is identified, the proposed ATM and any supporting structures, signage,
and landscaping, will require review and approval by the Appearance Commission at a
future date.

INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered as prescribed by the Zoning
Ordinance. One Plan Commissioner asked if, at some time in the future, the outdoor
automated teller machine could become enclosed within a booth or structure. If that
request came forward in the future, Appearance Commission review would be
necessary. There were no other testimonies by interested parties.

Plan Commission
Positive Findings of Fact 2012-22P: Special Use Permit
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, June 4, 2012


1 Consideration The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will
 not be detrimental to or endanger the pubic health, safety, morals,
 or general welfare; and the proposed building or use at the
 particular location is necessary or desirable to provide a service or a
 facility which is in the public interest and will contribute to the
 general welfare of the neighborhood or community.

 Findings An ATM will not endanger the public health, safety, morals, or
 general welfare. The use will contribute to the community by
 providing financial services near a Downtown transit station.



2 Consideration The proposed building or use will not substantially change the
 character of the neighborhood, will not have an undue adverse
 affect upon adjacent property or property values in the
 neighborhood, will not unduly aggravate traffic conditions, and will
 not unduly burden essential public services such as drainage
 facilities, public utilities, and those services pertaining to public
 health, safety, and welfare in general.

 Findings The proposed ATM will not substantially change the character of the
 neighborhood. Improvements to the subject site independent of
 this ATM request will improve the aesthetics and functionality of the
 property. The proposed walk-up ATM will not have an adverse
 affect upon adjacent property or property values in the
 neighborhood. The impact of this ATM on vehicular and pedestrian
 traffic will be minor.



3 Consideration The proposed building(s) or use will be designed, arranged, and
 operated so as to permit the development and use of neighboring
 property in accordance with the applicable district regulations.

 Findings The proposed ATM will accommodate the development and use of
 neighboring properties.




VOSDOCS-#404012-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2012-22P_-_Special_Use_Permit_for_Outdoor_ATM.DOC 3
4 Consideration The proposed use will not alter or be contrary to the primary
 purpose of the zoning district of the area in which it is proposed,
 when its effect is considered in conjunction with the cumulative
 effect of the number of various special uses of all types already in
 the adjacent area and in the Village as a whole.
 Findings The CX Core Mixed-Use district is intended for areas close to rapid
 transit hubs and employment centers. Entire blocks shall be zoned
 CX, where possible, to increase opportunities for pedestrian-
 oriented site and building design, conveniently located public
 parking, and open spaces. The remainder of the block of the
 subject site is zoned CX. In addition, the surrounding area is or is
 proposed to be zoned CX Core Mixed-Use and B6 Downtown
 Science and Technology. The Oakton-Skokie Station will be a
 transit hub servicing Downtown Skokie, the Illinois Science +
 Technology Park, and the surrounding community.
 Existing Special Use Permits 296 (“warehouse storage facility for the
 rental of trucks with a 2-story garage and a retail accessory use” at
 8220 Skokie Boulevard) and 309 (“motor vehicle leasing agency
 with outdoor storage and display of vehicles” at 8225 Skokie
 Boulevard), are compatible with the proposed use. An ATM can
 service both the neighborhood and the community at-large.



5 Consideration The proposed use and its plan conform to the general intent of the
 Official Comprehensive Plan.
 Findings The subject site is designated as pedestrian oriented mix in the
 Comprehensive Plan. Although the proposed use is pedestrian-
 oriented, it does not include the development of a mixed-use
 building. A determination has been made that the site is better
 suited for a transit-supporting use, and a change from M2 Light
 Industry to CX Core Mixed-Use is recommended in Case 2012-21P.

Case Description

2012-22P – Outdoor Automated Teller Machine
Village of Skokie requests a special use permit for an outdoor automated teller machine
in a CX Mixed-use district and any relief that may be discovered during the review of
this case.


Discussion and 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.

Staff provided a summary of the staff report. ATM’s are allowable uses in zoning
districts where banks are allowed. However, a special use permit is required for an
outdoor ATM. In this case, the special use is for a specific location and as of yet, a
vendor has not been named. The Village owns the property at the NW and SW corners
of Searle and Skokie Boulevards serving the new Oakton-Skokie station. The site will
contain the ATM, an overflow parking lot, open space with a sculpture and seating
areas. The ATM is a walk-up unit; out in the open. State law maintains that the vendor
will be responsible for safety and security. The Village will maintain the parking lot.

One Plan Commissioner asked if, at some time in the future it could become enclosed
within a booth or structure. At that time, Appearance Commission review would be
necessary.

There were no other questions from commissioners or from the audience.

Recommendation and Voting

The Plan Commission moved to recommend approval of this case based on positive
findings of fact. This motion was approved with a vote of 9 ayes and 0 nays.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioner’s Submittal
The Village of Skokie proposes to provide automated teller machine (ATM) services to
commuters at 8158 Skokie Boulevard, via a third party provider.


Comments
Staff Comment and Review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments. Only the
Engineering Division had comments regarding the special use permit for an outdoor
ATM.


Engineering Division
The Engineering Division concurs with and supports the proposed use. The Oakton
Station Waiting Area Lot was designed by the Engineering Division, and the proposed
ATM will be located per the site design.


Planning Division
The petitioner is proposing to enter into a lease agreement with a provider to operate
an ATM 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, at 8158 Skokie Boulevard. The ATM will be
located within a new waiting area lot, which includes an open space with a sculpture
and seating areas, and will be located across the street from the new Oakton-Skokie
Station. No habitable building will be a part of this subject site.

The Village of Skokie Comprehensive Plan has identified the subject site as a pedestrian
oriented mix use; however, this site is across the street from the new Oakton-Skokie
Station, and since additional transit-supporting uses were needed near the station, this
property was selected to accommodate such uses. ATMs are allowable uses in all
zoning districts where a bank is allowed. Since this is a proposed outdoor ATM, a
special use permit is required.

Nearby special use permits (SUPs) include:
  SUP 296: warehouse storage facility for the rental of trucks with a 2-story garage
 and a retail accessory use at 8220 Skokie Boulevard
  SUP 309: motor vehicle leasing agency with outdoor storage and display of
 vehicles at 8225 Skokie Boulevard


Across the street to the east from the subject site, an ordinance for Site Plan
Approval/Planned Development 384 at the intersection of Skokie Boulevard and
Cleveland Street is in place for the construction and establishment of 2 mixed-use
residential and commercial developments. This development has not yet been realized.

VOSDOCS-#400925-v1-Staff_Report_-_2012-22P_-_Special_Use_Permit__8158_Skokie_Boulevard.DOC

 2 of 6
The primary benefit of the ATM will be to provide convenient access to financial
transactions for the traveling public using the new Oakton-Skokie Station.
The Planning Division supports the granting of a special use permit for the operation of
an outdoor ATM at 8158 Skokie Boulevard.

APPEARANCE COMMISSION
The standards from the Design Guidelines for Mixed-Use Districts will apply. The
guidelines state that the purpose of site design includes providing pedestrian-oriented
amenities and separating vehicle and pedestrian traffic. It is preferred to locate plazas
on major streets adjacent to transit stops and accessible from sidewalks with major
pedestrian flow. Plazas should be at sidewalk level, provide seating, and display public
art.
Although not specifically mentioned in the guidelines, the ATM and supporting
shelter/signage/etc. should complement its surroundings.
Once the lessee is identified, the proposed ATM and any supporting structures, signage,
and landscaping, will require review and approval by the Appearance Commission at a
future date.


STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for a special use permit for an outdoor
automated teller machine at 8158 Skokie Boulevard be APPROVED, based upon the
Proposed Positive Findings of Fact and subject to the recommended and standard
special use permit conditions.


RECOMMENDED SPECIAL USE CONDITIONS
In addition to the recommended and standard special use permit conditions for case
2012-21P, the following shall apply:
1. Prior to the application for a building permit, the petitioner shall submit a design
 proposal to the Appearance Commission for review and approval.
2. The ATM shall be installed and maintained at the Subject Property in substantial
 conformance with the final Village approved “Proposed Site of ATM” exhibit, titled
 “2012-22P”, and per the design package as approved by the Appearance
 Commission. No ATM signs shall be allowed on the site, other than those on the
 ATM.
3. The ATM shall be operated in compliance with all requirements of the contract with
 the Village.

Proposed Positive Findings of Fact 2012-22P: Special Use Permit
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, April 19, 2012

1 Consideration The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will
 not be detrimental to or endanger the pubic health, safety, morals,
 or general welfare; and the proposed building or use at the
 particular location is necessary or desirable to provide a service or a
 facility which is in the public interest and will contribute to the
 general welfare of the neighborhood or community.

 Findings An ATM will not endanger the public health, safety, morals, or
 general welfare. The use will contribute to the community by
 providing financial services near a Downtown transit station.



2 Consideration The proposed building or use will not substantially change the
 character of the neighborhood, will not have an undue adverse
 affect upon adjacent property or property values in the
 neighborhood, will not unduly aggravate traffic conditions, and will
 not unduly burden essential public services such as drainage
 facilities, public utilities, and those services pertaining to public
 health, safety, and welfare in general.

 Findings The proposed ATM will not substantially change the character of the
 neighborhood. Improvements to the subject site independent of
 this ATM request will improve the aesthetics and functionality of the
 property. The proposed walk-up ATM will not have an adverse
 affect upon adjacent property or property values in the
 neighborhood. The impact of this ATM on vehicular and pedestrian
 traffic will be minor.



3 Consideration The proposed building(s) or use will be designed, arranged, and
 operated so as to permit the development and use of neighboring
 property in accordance with the applicable district regulations.

 Findings The proposed ATM will accommodate the development and use of
 neighboring properties.




VOSDOCS-#400925-v1-Staff_Report_-_2012-22P_-_Special_Use_Permit__8158_Skokie_Boulevard.DOC

 5 of 6
4 Consideration The proposed use will not alter or be contrary to the primary
 purpose of the zoning district of the area in which it is proposed,
 when its effect is considered in conjunction with the cumulative
 effect of the number of various special uses of all types already in
 the adjacent area and in the Village as a whole.
 Findings The CX Core Mixed-Use district is intended for areas close to rapid
 transit hubs and employment centers. Entire blocks shall be zoned
 CX, where possible, to increase opportunities for pedestrian-
 oriented site and building design, conveniently located public
 parking, and open spaces. The remainder of the block of the
 subject site is zoned CX. In addition, the surrounding area is or is
 proposed to be zoned CX Core Mixed-Use and B6 Downtown
 Science and Technology. The Oakton-Skokie Station will be a
 transit hub servicing Downtown Skokie, the Illinois Science +
 Technology Park, and the surrounding community.
 Existing Special Use Permits 296 (“warehouse storage facility for the
 rental of trucks with a 2-story garage and a retail accessory use” at
 8220 Skokie Boulevard) and 309 (“motor vehicle leasing agency
 with outdoor storage and display of vehicles” at 8225 Skokie
 Boulevard), are compatible with the proposed use. An ATM can
 service both the neighborhood and the community at-large.



5 Consideration The proposed use and its plan conform to the general intent of the
 Official Comprehensive Plan.
 Findings The subject site is designated as pedestrian oriented mix in the
 Comprehensive Plan. Although the proposed use is pedestrian-
 oriented, it does not include the development of a mixed-use
 building. A determination has been made that the site is better
 suited for a transit-supporting use, and a change from M2 Light
 Industry to CX Core Mixed-Use is recommended in Case 2012-21P.
