  A. Howard Street (Crawford Avenue to McCormick Boulevard) Bike Trail
 Project Local Public Aaencv Agreement for Federal Participation.
 As part of the Village of Skokie Bikeway System Plan, this section of Howard
 Street has been earmarked for bike lane and off road trail installation. A 5-foot
 one-way bike lane with signage will be constructed on both sides of Howard
 Street from Crawford Avenue to Hamlin Street. From there, the bike lane will
 transition to an 8-foot path along the parkway on the north side of Howard Street
 to McCormick Boulevard. The Village received a Transportation Alternatives
 Program (TAP) grant and engineering design services were acquired from Baxter
 & Woodman. Bid letting is scheduled for September 12 and it is now time to
 execute the appropriate Local Public Agency Agreement for Federal Participation
 with the State of Illinois. This $778,295 project is included in the 5-year Capital
 Improvement Program (CIP) Budget. The grant is for $622,636 and the remaining
 $155,659 will be funded by Economic Development funds. I concur with staff's
 recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and Board approval of a
 Resolution authorizing execution of the agreement with the State of Illinois.

chapter amendments to add definitions for animal shelters and outdoor exercise areas
to §118-32, amend the Appendix A use table to make animal shelters and outdoor
exercise areas a special use in the TX Transit Mixed-Use zoning district, and any other
necessary changes to the Zoning chapter related to these uses.
Staff was generally supportive of adding animal shelters to the land use list, but had
concerns about this use in mixed-use districts. Ultimately, Staff only recommended
adding animal shelters to Appendix A as a special use if standard conditions are also
added to the chapter that will limit the locations of the use.
The proposed amendment also includes adding a definition of animal shelter, adding
“outdoor pet exercise areas in conjunction with kenneling activities only” to the mixed-
use districts with a separate special use permit, and that off-street parking be
determined by the Plan Commission. Staff would also recommended removing the
parking requirements for animal clinics and animal hospitals, since this use was
replaced by the use veterinary services and has the default parking requirement of 1
parking space for every 300 ft2 of net floor area for unlisted uses.
A commissioner stated that as a business man who strongly supports many animal
shelters in Cook and Lake Counties, locating in a residential area is not an appropriate
place.




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. Notice was reviewed
and ruled to be proper and correct. Many of the parties that spoke for this case also
commented on aspects of the related cases. One neighbor stated that she was
VOSDOCS-#501715-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2016-13P__Zoning_chapter_amendment_for_animal_shelters_

 1 of 10
opposed to the use in this district. She stated that within a 6-mile radius, there are 6
animal shelters in the area. She is also concerned that this entity is tax exempt. Skokie
is looking to generate tax revenue and the Village should be considering the economic
development implications beside the noxious waste odors, noise, and traffic. Another
resident stated that although he doesn’t live within the area, the area is retail deficient
along 2 major streets, Niles Center Road and Main Street, questioning why this not-for-
profit use with noxious odors and a need for sound control is being added to this zoning
district. A local business owner commented that he has partnered with the C.A.R.E.
organization for events over the last 6 years. They are a high-class operation looking
for a home in Skokie. They were looking at a different site on Oakton Street which
didn’t have enough parking. They have been branding with some downtown Skokie
businesses and would be a wonderful addition to Skokie. They should be welcomed
into the Village.


PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND VOTING

The Plan Commission recommended, by a vote of 8 ayes and 1 nay (S. Berman) to
concur with Staff’s recommendation that the following sections of Chapter 118 Zoning
of the Skokie Village Code be amended as presented in the attached Staff Report.

 General Information
 Petitioner Community Animal Rescue Effort, Inc.
 Purpose To review and recommend amendments to Chapter 118 of
 the Skokie Village Code regarding Zoning chapter
 amendments to add definitions for animal shelters and
 outdoor exercise areas to §118-32, amend the Appendix A
 use table to make animal shelters and outdoor exercise areas
 a special use in the TX Transit Mixed-Use zoning district, and
 any other necessary changes to the Zoning chapter related to
 these uses.

PETITIONER’S REQUEST
Community Animal Rescue Effort, Inc. requests that Staff review and recommend
amendments to Chapter 118 of the Skokie Village Code regarding allowing animal
shelters and outdoor exercise areas in the Village. Animal shelters are currently not on
the list of uses in Appendix A of the Zoning chapter. The outdoor exercise area that is
typical with this type of use is also not on the list of allowable outdoor activities. The
petitioner is requesting to add a definition of animal shelter in §118-32, add outdoor
exercise areas to the list of outside uses in mixed-use districts in §118-186, and to add
animal shelter as a special use to Appendix A.
Ultimately it is the petitioner’s intent to establish an animal shelter at 4927 Main Street
in a TX Transit Mixed-Use district.


STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff is generally supportive of adding animal shelters to the land use list; however,
Staff has concerns about this use in mixed-use districts. In the Zoning chapter, the
purpose of the mixed use districts is to promote higher densities and a vertical mixing
VOSDOCS-#501715-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2016-13P__Zoning_chapter_amendment_for_animal_shelters_

 4 of 10
of uses. In general, mixing an animal shelter with other upper-story uses that could
include office and residential is challenging and the potential externalities of noise and
odors may inhibit the use or development of adjacent properties. Staff developed site
selection criteria for animal shelters in June 2015. Staff will only recommend adding
animal shelters to Appendix A as a special use if standard conditions are also added to
the chapter that will limit the locations of the use. These standard conditions are
included in our recommendations. There may be other zoning districts where this use
may be appropriate, but Staff will not be recommending additional zones at this time.
In the future if another site is appropriate, Appendix A can be modified.
The petitioner proposed the following definition of animal shelter: “Animal Shelter: Any
place of business designated to provide for the kenneling of common household pets
for the purpose of finding a permanent adoptive home for them.” The petitioner also
provided a list of intended functions at the proposed facility. Staff’s modified definition
is in the Staff Recommendation that accommodates these activities.
The Zoning chapter is very specific about what activities are allowed outdoors. Staff is
recommending adding “outdoor pet exercise areas in conjunction with kenneling
activities only” to the mixed-use districts. A separate special use permit would be
required.
Because the list of potential activities within the proposed use can vary widely, Staff is
recommending that the off-street parking be determined by the Plan Commission. Staff
would also recommend removing the parking requirements for animal clinics and animal
hospitals, since this use was replaced by the use veterinary services and has the default
parking requirement of 1 parking space for every 300 ft2 of net floor area for unlisted
uses.


STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the following sections of 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 in the attached draft language.

 Date: August 4, 2016

A motion was made by Plan Commissioner Berman and seconded by Commissioner Laxpati
to approve the minutes of the July 21, 2016 meeting. All voted aye.


Case Description

2016-13P – Zoning Chapter Amendment: Animal Shelters

Community Animal Rescue Effort, Inc., requests an amendment to the Zoning chapter of the
Village Code to add definitions for animal shelters and outdoor exercise areas to §118-32,
amend the Appendix A use table to make animal shelters and outdoor exercise areas a special
use in the TX Transit Mixed-Use zoning district, and any other necessary changes to the Zoning
chapter related to these uses

Discussion and Interested Parties

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

Staff requested that the report be accepted into the record as written. Currently, animal
shelters and outside exercise areas are not included in the list of allowable uses and must be
added.

Staff is mostly supportive of the request but has concerns for this use in a mixed-use district.
They were expecting a higher density use for this location such as office with residential above.
It may be challenging to develop the adjacent properties with an animal shelter at this location.
Staff stated that along with adding the definition, certain site selection criteria needed to be
met as well.

One commissioner asked that all cases pertaining to this use be discussed together as has been
done for previous cases in the past. The chairman decided that the chapter amendment case
should be heard and voted on separately. Staff briefly summarized all the cases at the request
of the commissioners.

Margaret Poet, 4959 Elm has lived in her single-family home for 48 years. She is opposed to
the use in this district. She stated that within a 6-mile radius, there are 6 animal shelters in the
area. She is also concerned that this entity is tax exempt. Skokie is looking to generate tax
revenue and should be considering the economic development implications beside the noxious
waste odors, noise, and traffic.
The chairman stated that her comments would be better suited for the site plan approval case
as this one is just to let the use to be added to the list of allowable uses in the district.

Gary Chesin, 10-year resident at 8401 LeClaire Avenue stated that although he doesn’t live
within the area, the area is retail deficient along 2 major streets, Niles Center Road and Main
VOSDOCS-#501715-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2016-13P__Zoning_chapter_amendment_for_animal_shelters_

Street. Why is the Village giving it away for a not-for-profit use with noxious odors and a need
for sound control?

A commissioner asked how long the building has been vacant. It was stated that the north
building has been empty for 7 years. The previous tenant was a real estate developer. The
south building is leased with no tenancy changes. The building has not been maintained.

Rob Paddor of Evanston Subaru commented that he has partnered with the C.A.R.E.
organization for events over the last 6 years. They are a high-class operation looking for a
home in Skokie. They are well capitalized and won’t be a nuisance. They were looking at a
different site on Oakton Street which didn’t have enough parking. They have been branding
with some downtown Skokie businesses and would be a wonderful addition to Skokie. They
should be welcomed into the Village.

Harry Smith, attorney for C.A.R.E. addressed the comment of being in a prime area. He stated
that if the location was considered so prime, why has it been vacant and not maintained for 7
years. The C.A.R.E. people will be fixing all the pending violations. He also mentioned that
there is a Korean church located at an adjacent property which is also tax exempt.

A commissioner stated that as a business man who strongly supports many animal shelters in
Cook and Lake Counties, locating in a residential area is not an appropriate place.

Recommendation and Voting

A motion was made to approve the zoning chapter amendment for animal shelters and outdoor
exercise areas. A motion was made to table the motion to approve. There was no second to
table the motion.

Motion: J. Burman Second: Marek

Ayes: 8

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
During its August 4, 2016, meeting, the Plan Commission heard the petitioner’s request
for site plan approval for a 4-lot planned development at 4927, 4910, 4930 Main Street
and 8343-8347 Niles Center Road in a TX Transit Mixed-use and M2 Light Industry
zoning district that includes 2 adjoining buildings and 2 surface parking lots and any
relief discovered during the review of this case.
Details of the Plan Commission discussion can be found in the attached meeting
minutes.
With respect to the site plan approval, a Commissioner asked about the location of the
trash area, State standards for noxious odors, and cleaning up after animals. C.A.R.E.
responded that they have a strict protocol in which volunteers are trained to follow to
maintain the utmost cleanliness using water and bleach. The trash area is located in a
corner on the east end of the site. There was also clarification that if, for example,
lighting struck the transformer on the pole, the transformer could be replaced in the
short-term, but the petitioner would have 2 years to relocate the transformer and bury
the utility wires.
Staff was very supportive of the parking plan on the north side of Main Street, which
will provide much needed public parking for the Main Street commercial area. The
implementation of the site plan will also allow for the completion of the restoration of
the Skokie Valley Trail land south of Main Street.
C.A.R.E. objected to the conditions that they contribute a portion of the cost of the
public parking lot that was needed to meet their parking requirement and having to
underground the utilities.
There was discussion among the commissioners regarding the relief sought from
C.A.R.E. Some thought that contributing to the parking fund was a fair trade for using
the shared parking spaces. Others thought that the Village can’t expect them to cover
the cost for undergrounding utilities for other facilities. The chairman suggested that

since the Plan Commission is a recommending body only, the issues should be reviewed
with Staff prior to going to the Village Board.
All corrections requested by Staff and the Commission prior to this Village Board
meeting were made, except for the shared use agreement for the parking lot north of
Main Street.


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. Notice was reviewed
and ruled to be proper and correct.
Six people spoke in favor of the proposal. They had the following comments about
C.A.R.E.:
  they survive on fundraising and donations
  they are all about saving animals
  there are synagogues and churches that don’t pay taxes and homes taken off the tax
 rolls
  even though the north parking is sub-standard, they could re-surface it and use
 it as built
  most people will patronize other businesses in Skokie
  very important for the community to welcome them
Three people spoke against the proposal. They had the following comments:
  very concerned of the environmental impact
  animal shelters don’t belong adjacent to residential districts
  questioned the need for another shelter when there were 6 shelters in a 6-mile
 radius
  the site was supposed to be use for economic development purposes
  concerned about the property being removed from the tax rolls
  they are underfunded to do what they want to do


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
At its June 8, 2016, meeting, the Appearance Commission approved the proposed
façade and landscape improvements, subject to only 1 awning to be located above the
main entrance, proposed signs to be approved by staff, landscaping to be modified and
approved by Appearance Commissioner Klein, and loading dock fencing facing Main
Street to be improved. Modifications to the façade and landscape plan have since been
made, including new board-on-board wood fencing surrounding all 3 sides of the
outdoor pet exercise area, replacing the previously-proposed chain link fencing. Staff
thinks that the Landscape Plan changes requested by Commissioner Klein are met.

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommended, by a vote of 8 ayes and 1 nay (S. Berman), that
site plan approval for a 4-lot planned development at 4927 & 4910-4930 Main Street
and 8343-8347 Niles Center Road in a TX Transit Mixed-use and a M2 Light Industry
zoning district that includes 2 adjoining buildings and 2 surface parking lots be
APPROVED, based upon the Plan Commission Positive Findings of Fact and subject to
the Plan Commission recommended conditions below.
The Plan Commission further recommended that relief be granted from §118-
212(c)(1)b.1. to allow a 12’ wide rather than 14’ wide driveway along the east side of
the building.


STAFF SUPPLEMENTATION FOLLOWING THE PLAN COMMISSION MEETING
Since the Plan Commission hearing Staff and the Corporation Counsel met with C.A.R.E.
representatives and would like to present potential modifications to the Plan
Commission recommended conditions:
Donation of Land for the Development of Additional Public Parking
C.A.R.E. has offered to donate the land north of Main Street to the Village. This would
create deficit of required parking in which payment in lieu would be required; however,
the payment in lieu in the Zoning chapter of the Village Code is to be used for the
development of public parking, which will occur as a result of the donation. Staff
recommends that the donation of land be accepted since anyone can park in a public
lot, including users of the shelter, subject to the regular set of restrictions that are
placed on the lot (e.g. no overnight parking, Downtown employee parking, etc.). This
would also allow the Village the flexibility to make potential realignments to the Skokie
Valley Trail through the property. The change has no practical effect on the availability
of parking from the original proposal presented to the Commission. If the Board
accepts this proposal, Staff recommends removing the portion of the site north of Main
Street from the final approved site plan and landscaping plan as well as the following
changes to conditions:
1. Prior to the hearing of the subject case before the Board of Trustees, the petitioner
 shall enter in a parking agreement for the shared use and maintenance for the
 parking lot north of Main Street.
3. The petitioner shall dedicate 3’ along Niles Center Road and 2’ along the north side
 of Main Street to the adjacent right-of-way.
NEW CONDITION: The petitioner will transfer ownership of parcels 10-21-226-001-0000
and 10-21-226-059-0000 to the Village prior to the issuance of occupancy of 4927 Main
Street. The petitioner will receive a credit of 12 required parking spaces for the uses in
this site plan approval.
4. The petitioner will be responsible for constructing the entire parking facility north of
 Main Street of the final approved site plan.
VOSDOCS-#501693-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2016-14P__site_plan_approval_for_4927_Main_St__and_8343-
47_Niles_Center_Road


 3 of 24
24. Prior to the issuance of building permits, the petitioner shall submit to the Village of
 Skokie Community Development Department a Cook County Assessor's Office
 Petition to Consolidation of Property with associated fees to consolidate property
 identification numbers 10-21-402-002-0000 and 10-21-402-096-0000 into a single
 tax parcel, and also 10-21-226-001-0000 and 10-21-226-059-0000 into a single tax
 parcel, or provide evidence that the petition was submitted to Cook County.


Modification to the Utilities Condition
To address the potential concerns from C.A.R.E. If the Board accepts this proposal,
Staff recommends the following changes to conditions:
5. When the property to the south redevelops necessitating the removal of overhead
 utilities or the aerial transformers on the Subject Property need replacement all
 overhead utilities on the Subject Property shall be placed or relocated underground
 within 24 months. The petitioner shall bear the full cost of any utility relocation
 and/or conflicts.
5. On-site overhead utilities must be placed underground if the service location of the
 buildings in the site plan approval changes, service to the properties to the south
 that use these utilities are placed underground, or ComEd places the east-west
 utility lines underground.




Additional Relief
Finally, after certain required missing dimensions were corrected by the petitioner, it
has been determined that relief from §118-212(a)(1) to allow for the width of the two-
way drive aisle dimension to be 23’-6” rather than 24’. The possibility of this relief was
presented by Staff to the Commission at the hearing. Should the Board approve this
site plan, this relief will also need to be added.

SITE INFORMATION
 The southern site has two adjacent multitenant buildings, one with a partial second
 story.
 There is a covered depressed loading dock on the east side of the north building.
 Parking for the site is located south of the buildings and on a separate lot north of
 Main Street. Portions of both parking lots and associated driveways encroach onto
 land formerly owned by the adjacent railroad and now owned by the Village; the
 occupied portion to the south of Main Street is the part of the Skokie Valley Trail.
 The south parking lot is deteriorated and lacks many improvements required by the
 Zoning chapter. It also contains 3 utility poles within the paved area of the lot.
 Public sidewalks run along Main Street and Niles Center Road.
 Overhead utilities run through the south side of the site, which also serve 2
 buildings to the south of the property.
 Main Street has a dedicated bicycle lane and the Skokie Valley Trail provides an off-
 road cycle path.
 The site is served by the CTA 97 Skokie bus. The CTA 54A bus is ¼-mile to the
 east. The CTA Yellow Line Oakton-Skokie and CTA Yellow Line Dempster-Skokie
 stations are both about 0.5 miles away.


STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioner’s Submittal
The petitioner is requesting site plan approval for a 3-lot planned development at 4927,
4910, 4930 Main Street and 8343-8347 Niles Center Road in a TX Transit Mixed-use and
M2 Light Industry zoning district that includes 2 adjoining buildings and 2 surface
parking lots and any relief discovered during the review of this case.
The site currently has 6 Cook County PIN numbers. The 3 PINs north of Main, 2 owned by
the petitioner and 1 owned by the Village, will be developed into a shared parking lot with 7
parking spaces wholly owned by the petitioner, 7 parking spaces partially owned by both
the petitioner and the Village, and 13 spaces wholly owned by the Village, totaling 27
Vehicle parking spaces. Currently, the lot has 4 parking spaces wholly owned by the
petitioner and 10 parking spaces partially owned by both the petitioner and the Village.
Since both the Village and the applicant will retain separate ownership of each parcel north
of Main, only 2 of the 3 PINs can be consolidated. The Village’s lot is the only portion of
the site that is zoned M2.
Two of the PIN numbers south of Main that include the southern building and the parking
facilities that wrap around the building will be consolidated into one PIN number. The
parking facilities south of Main Street will be modified to remove the encroachment onto
the Skokie Valley trail property and restore the property to soil. The circulation will become
one-way south from Main Street then exit westward toward Niles Center Road. Sidewalks
VOSDOCS-#501693-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2016-14P__site_plan_approval_for_4927_Main_St__and_8343-

will be installed connecting the parking areas to the front entrances on the street-sides of
the buildings. Off-street parking will be provided for 25 cars in this lot.
The north building is intended to be used as an animal shelter. A Zoning chapter
amendment (2016-13P) and special use permit (2015-16P) is required to establish this use.
It will remain on a separate PIN.
The loading dock on the east side of the building will be capped with metal decking and
mostly screened with board-on-board fencing. This area is intended to be used as an
outdoor pet exercise area. A Zoning chapter amendment (2016-13P) and special use
permit (2015-17P) is required to establish this use.
The planned development will include 4, not 3, lots in order to retain the Village’s
ownership of its parcel north of Main Street.
The petitioners provided the following information regarding the site plan approval:
 Architecture: The exterior façade will be cleaned and needed minor repairs made. Signage
 will be tasteful, taking into consideration the surrounding neighbors. While there will be
 renovation work done within the building, additional work beyond maintenance and repairs
 on the exterior of the building itself is not planned.
 Landscaping: Today's philosophy of animal sheltering stresses the importance of a shelter
 being welcoming and attractive. We plan to trim and provide continual upkeep of the existing
 bushes, and install plantings of annual and perennial plants meeting the Village's criteria. At
 a later date, the design of a commemorative perennial garden may be brought before the
 committee for approval. The landscaping will be designed to create a very welcoming feel to
 the building for our clients and passersby. The exercise area will have fence screening to
 mitigate noise.
Ultimately the applicant seeks to buy the petitioner’s portion of the site.


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

 Engineering Division
 The Engineering Division reviewed the site plan and has minor site plan revisions
 listed in the recommended conditions. Engineering is supportive of the proposed
 plan if the recommended revisions and conditions are met. Adequate parking is
 provided, and the reduction of width and locations of curb cuts in both the north and
 south parking facilities increases the level of traffic safety in the area.
 Engineering is also supportive of the relief discovered during the review of this case
 for a one-way driveway of 12’ rather than 14’ in width so that a full sidewalk width
 can be provided along the driveway.


VOSDOCS-#501693-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2016-14P__site_plan_approval_for_4927_Main_St__and_8343-
47_Niles_Center_Road


 11 of 24
 Forestry Division
 The Forestry Division’s only comment is that there is an existing American Elm on
 the site that is infected with Dutch Elm disease that needs to be removed from the
 property. The tree should be replaced with a new shade tree. The petitioner will be
 responsible for removing gravel and remaining pavement on the Skokie Valley Trail
 property and restoring the site with clean soil, and the Village will be responsible for
 planting and maintaining the landscaping on the Skokie Valley Trail property.


 Fire Department
 The Fire Department is requiring a fire alarm with wireless monitoring by Skokie
 Police Department Dispatch, a sprinkler system throughout the north building, and a
 Knox box. The fire department connection shall be no more than 100’ from the
 hydrant. A fire pump may be required based on a flow test by a certified fire
 engineer. A visual inspection of the property also revealed that the overhead
 utilities are too low for fire equipment to pass; these lines must be a minimum of 12’
 above the finished grade of the pavement.


 Planning Division
 The Planning Division is supportive of the petitioner’s request. The site
 redevelopment will be a significant improvement over the existing condition and
 remove many, but not all, of the non-conforming conditions on the site. Minor site
 plan revisions are listed in the recommended conditions.
 Staff is very supportive of the public parking plan north of Main Street developed by
 Staff to address the public parking needs of the Main Street commercial district on
 the north side of Downtown Skokie. This will be the first public parking lot in this
 area and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for Sector A. A shared use and
 maintenance agreement still needs to be finalized with the petitioner. The users of
 the site will have exclusive use of the 14 parking spaces wholly or partially on their
 property during their hours of operation. Otherwise, the parking spaces will be
 available for other users in the Main Street area and users of the Skokie Valley Trail.
 The spaces will not be allowed to be used for CTA Yellow Line commuter parking. It
 should be noted that without the use of the Village’s land, the proposed animal
 shelter would not be able to meet their off-street parking requirements.
 Planning still has concerns about the configuration of the overhead utilities on the
 site. Staff had requested that the utilities be comprehensively relocated and the
 poles removed. Not doing so at this time reduces the efficiency of the south parking
 lot and the number of parking spaces that are able to be provided. It will also
 increase the cost of making these improvements in the future when the properties
 to the south redevelop. Since the petitioner is not willing to comply with the
 Village’s condition at this time, Staff is recommending that the petitioner agree to

VOSDOCS-#501693-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2016-14P__site_plan_approval_for_4927_Main_St__and_8343-
47_Niles_Center_Road


 12 of 24
 pay the full cost of relocating the portion of the facilities that are on their site when
 the property to the south redevelops or when the aerial transformers need
 replacement on the site.
 Planning is also supportive of the relief to allow a 12’ driveway along the east side of
 the buildings since there are no parking back-out turning movements into the
 driveway and to improve pedestrian safety.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
At its June 8, 2016, meeting, the Appearance Commission approved the proposed
façade and landscape improvements, subject to only 1 awning to be located above the
main entrance, proposed signs to be approved by staff, landscaping to be modified and
approved by Appearance Commissioner Klein, and loading dock fencing facing Main
Street to be improved. Modifications to the façade and landscape plan have since been
made, including new board-on-board wood fencing surrounding all 3 sides of the
outdoor pet exercise area, replacing the previously-proposed chain link fencing. The
Appearance Commission still needs to review the modifications to the landscaping plan.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for site plan approval for a 4-lot planned
development at 4927 & 4910-4930 Main Street and 8343-8347 Niles Center Road in a
TX Transit Mixed-use and a M2 Light Industry zoning district that includes 2 adjoining
buildings and 2 surface parking lots be APPROVED, based upon the Proposed Positive
Findings of Fact and subject to the recommended site plan approval conditions below.
Staff further recommends that relief be granted from §118-212(c)(1)b.1. to allow a 12’
wide rather than 14’ wide driveway along the east side of the building.



RECOMMENDED SITE PLAN APPROVAL CONDITIONS
1. Prior to the hearing of the subject case before the Board of Trustees, the petitioner
 must revise the overall site plan with the following modifications:
 a. The plan must be drawn to a standard engineering scale.

 Skokie Village Code, and provide a detail of the proposed bike rack.
 c. Adjust parking space depths to 16’ deep in the parking lot north of Main Street.
 d. Provide the sidewalk width south of the building. The sidewalk should be a
 minimum of 7’ wide.
 e. Show dimensions of the one-way drive aisles south and southeast of the
 building. These driveways should be a minimum of 14’ wide.

Discussion and Interested Parties
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to property owners in the
area as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. It was determined by Corporation Counsel
that notice was proper and correct.
As the cases all pertain to the same locations, they were discussed together but voted
on separately.

Staff requested that the reports for Cases 2016-16P and 17P be accepted into the
record as written. Amendments were made to Case 2016-14P after the report was
written subsequent to a meeting with the petitioner. These changes were discussed
when staff summarized the case.
Ben Schueler, a C.A.R.E. representative, expecting to be a homeowner in Skokie soon,
gave background information about the organization. C.A.R.E. is a grass roots, all
volunteer, non-profit charity organization serving Skokie and surrounding areas. It has
been in existence for 29 years and they are looking for a permanent home. Many of
their volunteers live and work in Skokie. The applicant intends to purchase the
property rather than lease. C.A.R.E. provides foster homes, vet care, and adoptions
for homeless, sick and injured animals. They also supply pet food to the food pantry.
The chairman asked what their capacity is currently. Their cat rescue center in Chicago
has about 15 cats and they can handle a maximum of 20 dogs. Right now, all their
dogs are in foster homes. They are a no-kill shelter.
Another commissioner asked where the trash area is located and if there were any state
standards regarding the noxious odors or regulations about cleaning up.
Linda Gelb, president, stated that all shelters are state licensed and inspected. She
said that C.A.R.E. has a strict protocol which volunteers are trained to follow to
maintain the utmost cleanliness using water and bleach. The trash area is located in a
corner on the east end of the site.
Another commissioner asked about the number of dogs allowed in the outdoor play
area at one time. Most times no more than 2 dogs at 1 time unless a play group of 2-3
dogs go out to play ball; but never unattended. When dogs are playing, there is no
barking.
Another commissioner asked about noise in the outside area. Ken Park, 9050 Ewing,
stated that the outdoor exercise area will be located at the east end where the loading
and receiving area is presently and is fully roofed and will be semi-enclosed by an 8-
foot board on board fencing which will provide a sound and visual barrier. The area will
face the bike trail and Skokie Swift.
Another commissioner asked that with 5 facilities within a 6-mile radius what the
demand is. Ms. Gelb stated that all shelters operate differently. Red Door takes in cats
and rabbits and Wrightway takes mostly dogs and puppies. C.A.R.E. helps the entire
north shore area and about half of C.A.R.E.’s animals are owner give-ups.
She also stated that the animal shelter in Morton Grove is in a residential area and Tree
House in Chicago backs up to residential.
One commissioner asked for an explanation of what the process is and how long until
an animal is placed. When an animal is taken in, they are spayed or neutered, given
appropriate shots, micro-chipped and evaluated on their energy level and temperament
before they are put up for adoption. When potential owners come in, they too are
evaluated so that the right pet is matched to a household.

Another commissioner asked about the two previous sites that were considered. Staff
answered they were in the industrial district (one on Oakton and one on Monticello) but
significantly deficient in parking.
Staff explained the site plan as 2 buildings and 2 surface parking lots with one rent
paying tenant. There is no change contemplated of this arrangement. Staff is very
supportive of the parking plan north of Main Street. It will be a shared lot with 7
parking spaces owned by C.A.R.E., 7 parking spaces shared between the petitioner and
the Village, and 13 spaces owned by the Village. The users of the site have exclusive
use of 14 spaces during the hours of their operation. Otherwise, the spaces will be
available for users in the Main Street area and bike trail. It is not for overnight or CTA
commuter parking. On the south, there are 25 parking spaces belonging to C.A.R.E.
Some of the property encroaches into the bike path. The removal of gravel & restoring
soil in the bike path will be the responsibility of the petitioner and the Village will be
responsible for the planting, landscaping and maintaining the bike path.
The Engineering Division is in support of a 12-foot driveway instead of the 14 feet so
that a full sidewalk can be constructed along the driveway.
The Planning Department requested that utilities & poles be relocated or put
underground. The wires are too low and should be raised. The Appearance
Commission approved the site design. The Fire Department commented that it is not
ideal but is workable.
Staff spoke about the changes to the recommended conditions. Condition 1-d. will be
removed, Condition 1-g. might need a variance, Condition 2-a. needs to be verified,
Condition 7. will be kept as is with a 24-month window, and a condition will be added
for land dedication of 3 feet on Niles Center and 2 feet at the corner of Main & Niles
Center which will not affect the site plan.
A commissioner asked if an environmental impact study on the bike path was
completed. Staff answered that the Village acquired the land from the railroad and did
not study adjacent land. Staff stated that a state grant from Illinois Department of
Natural Resources helped fund the bike path not federal money. The commissioner
asked if an economic impact study was done for the west side townhomes regarding a
reduction of property values.
Another commissioner responded that property impact studies are usually prepared by
the petitioners not the Village.
Another commissioner commented that an improved building would increase adjacent
property values rather than a building that has been vacant for a long time and in run
down condition.
Another commissioner asked about economic development within the School District 69
boundaries other than the Floral Avenue project. Staff reminded everyone that we are
coming out of a slow economic recovery and mentioned Chase Bank moving to a new
site. He stated however, there is interest in the area.

A commissioner wanted confirmation that if lightning struck the transformer on the
pole, the petitioner has 2 years for relocating the utilities and to change to no pole and
underground the lines. Staff added that the petitioner requested 3 years.
Staff worked with the petitioner for many years to find a suitable site. It is a concern to
many that this non-profit organization locating in the Downtown Science + Technology
TIF district would take the site off the tax rolls which help fund public improvements
and economic development for the district. Staff strongly encourages the petitioner to
actively do some merchandising at the site similar to a cat café (under construction in
Rogers Park).
A commissioner asked how staff can endorse this. Staff stated that accommodations
have been recommended that the petitioner pay the construction cost for their spaces
in the public parking lot (approximately 30%) north Main Street.
A commissioner clarified that if the Village created the parking lot, the funds would be
taken from the TIF.
A commissioner commented that a parking lot would be a benefit for all in the area. He
stated that the patrons utilizing this facility would use other downtown businesses. It is
better than keeping a site vacant.
For the outdoor exercise area, the petitioner must strictly comply with the nuisance
ordinance for sound and clean-up. Should the animal shelter provide shelter for cats
only, the operation of the outdoor exercise area would cease and the special use permit
automatically repealed.
The chairman asked for additional comments.
Ken Park stated that C.A.R.E. does not object to most of the recommendations of staff.
However, they are a non-profit organization and request relief for the 30% contribution
for the north parking lot. They also contend that there are 7 different properties that
get power from the transformer so it should be a shared expense and not theirs alone.
The expense of removing the overhead transformers would max them out and they
would prefer to leave the poles in.
There was discussion among the commissioners regarding the relief sought from
C.A.R.E. Some thought that contributing to the parking fund was a fair trade for using
the shared parking spaces. Others thought that the Village can’t expect them to cover
the cost for undergrounding utilities for other facilities. The chairman suggested that
since the Plan Commission is a recommending body only, the issues should move up
the ladder to the Village Board and give the petitioner time to work it out.
The Community Development director suggested that it is a non-issue. The pole is
there and ComEd is servicing it. It is the responsibility of ComEd to bring service to the
building in another way. Nothing has to be done now.
Listed are several interested parties in the audience who spoke in favor of C.A.R.E.

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
During its August 4, 2016, meeting, the Plan Commission heard the petitioner’s request
for a special use permit for an animal shelter at 4927 Main Street in a TX Transit Mixed-
Use zoning district and any relief discovered during the review of this case. The
petitioner submitted a full narrative, which is attached to this report.
Details of the Plan Commission discussion can be found in the attached meeting
minutes.
Staff presented that it worked with the petitioner for many years to find a suitable site.
It was Staff’s concern that this non-profit organization locating in the Downtown
Science + Technology TIF district would take the site off the tax rolls, which helps fund
public improvements and economic development activities for the district. Staff
strongly encourages the petitioner to actively do some merchandising at the site similar
to a cat café (under construction in Rogers Park). A commissioner questioned how staff
could support the special use permit, given the number of negative findings. Staff
stated that there were positives that balanced, including the opportunity to provide
public parking spaces in the area. Restrictions are also placed in the Plan Commission
Recommended Conditions to limit further degradation of the tax base.
Responding to an interested party’s claim that there were 6 other shelter facilities within
a 6-mile radius and the demand of additional shelters, a C.A.R.E. representative stated
that all shelters operate differently. Red Door takes in cats and rabbits and Wrightway
takes mostly dogs and puppies. C.A.R.E. helps the entire north shore area and about
half of C.A.R.E.’s animals are owner give-ups. She also stated that the animal shelter in
Morton Grove is in a residential area and Tree House in Chicago backs up to residential.
A commissioner asked for an explanation of what the process is and how long until an
animal is placed. When an animal is taken in, they are spayed or neutered, given
appropriate shots, micro-chipped and evaluated on their energy level and temperament

before they are put up for adoption. When potential owners come in, they too are
evaluated so that the right pet is matched to a household.
Another commissioner asked about the two previous sites that were considered. Staff
answered they were in the industrial district (one on Oakton and one on Monticello) but
significantly deficient in parking.
The Plan Commission determined in case 2016-15P that this user has an off-street
parking requirement of 25 vehicle spaces as the case was presented.
Before the vote on this matter it was reiterated to the Commission that the motion on
the table was to concur with the Staff recommendation only with all the recommended
conditions.
All corrections requested by Staff and the Commission prior to this Village Board
meeting were made, except for the shared use agreement for the parking lot north of
Main Street.


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. Notice was reviewed
and ruled to be proper and correct.
Six people spoke in favor of the proposal. They had the following comments about
C.A.R.E.:
  they survive on fundraising and donations
  they are all about saving animals
  there are synagogues and churches that don’t pay taxes and homes taken off the tax
 rolls
  even though the north parking is sub-standard, they could re-surface it and use
 it as built
  most people will patronize other businesses in Skokie
  very important for the community to welcome them
Three people spoke against the proposal. They had the following comments:
  very concerned of the environmental impact
  animal shelters don’t belong adjacent to residential districts
  questioned the need for another shelter when there were 6 shelters in a 6-mile
 radius
  the site was supposed to be use for economic development purposes
  concerned about the property being removed from the tax rolls
  they are underfunded to do what they want to do

At its June 8, 2016, meeting, the Appearance Commission approved the proposed
façade and landscape improvements, subject to only 1 awning to be located above the
main entrance, proposed signs to be approved by staff, landscaping to be modified and
approved by Appearance Commissioner Klein, and loading dock fencing facing Main
Street to be improved. Modifications to the façade and landscape plan have since been
made, including new board-on-board wood fencing surrounding all 3 sides of the
outdoor pet exercise area, replacing the previously-proposed chain link fencing. Staff
thinks that the Landscape Plan changes requested by Commissioner Klein are met.


PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommended, by a vote of 8 ayes and 1 nay (S. Berman), that a
special use permit for an animal shelter at 4927 Main Street be APPROVED, based
upon the Plan Commission Positive Findings of Fact and subject to the Plan Commission
recommended conditions below.


STAFF SUPPLEMENTATION FOLLOWING THE PLAN COMMISSION MEETING
If the Village Board accepts the petitioner’s proposal to donate the land north of Main
Street to the Village in site plan approval case 2016-14P, Condition 4 in the Plan
Commission Recommended Conditions for this special use permit would need to be
stricken from the final special use ordinance.

 land formerly owned by the adjacent railroad and now owned by the Village; the
 occupied portion to the south of Main Street is the part of the Skokie Valley Trail.
 The south parking lot is deteriorated and lacks many improvements required by the
 Zoning chapter. It also contains 3 utility poles within the paved area of the lot.
 Public sidewalks run along Main Street and Niles Center Road.
 Overhead utilities run through the south side of the site, which also serve 3
 buildings to the south of the property.
 Main Street has a dedicated bicycle lane and the Skokie Valley Trail provides an off-
 road cycle path.
 The site is served by the CTA 97 Skokie bus. The CTA 54A bus is ¼-mile to the
 east. The CTA Yellow Line Oakton-Skokie and CTA Yellow Line Dempster-Skokie are
 both about ½-mile away.

 Our plan is to update the 4927 Main Street building, parking lots and surrounding
 landscaping for use as our animal shelter.
 C.A.R.E. is a "limited access, unlimited stay'' organization. This means that adoptable
 animals remain with us until the right home is found.
 The shelter will provide the Skokie community with an attractive, bright, and welcoming
 resource to find a companion animal, participate in humane educational programs, take
 advantage of volunteer and community service opportunities, and meet with knowledgeable
 volunteers who can assist with information, training tips, and support in caring for their
 pets.
 C.A.R.E. has already begun to actively participate in the many community events offered by
 Skokie and looks forward to expanding our engagement with the community through work
 with local schools and community groups, particularly those that serve children and
 teenagers, to provide shelter tours and humane education. C.A.R.E. would be an active
 community advocate for responsible pet ownership, including spaying and neutering,
 regular vaccinations, obedience training for dogs, and microchipping to ensure lost pets can
 be reunited with their owners.

 C.A.R.E. volunteers have long favored Skokie as an ideal location for our shelter. Not only
 are many of our volunteers Skokie residents, but also many of our adopters and supporters
 are from Skokie. Because of Skokie's central location, C.A.R.E. will be no more than a 30-
 minute drive from 10 suburbs and the north side of Chicago, making Skokie a destination of
 choice for those interested in responsible pet ownership and the mission of humane
 organizations (in addition to Skokie's well-deserved reputation as a destination for shopping,
 dining, and special events).
 C.A.R.E., which has worked with Skokie Animal Control in the past, would be available as a
 resource to Skokie's Animal Control personnel for referrals for people who need assistance
 with their animals-behavior, rehoming, food, etc. In addition, as resources and space allow,
 C.A.R.E. would be able to assist the Animal Control Division of the Skokie Health
 Department in its goal of finding homes for all unclaimed adoptable animals.
 By expanding into a sheltering facility C.A.R.E. will be able to help at least 50% more cats
 and dogs than we do currently.
 Committed to being a good neighbor that adds value to the community, we will enhance the
 existing outside area with a landscape plan that will also provide a buffer for noise. Shelter
 dogs will never be outside unsupervised and animal waste will be picked up immediately.
 The Adoption Center hours are at non-peak times so traffic should not be adversely
 impacted.
 Based on past experience, we expect visits from 1-3 individuals/families interested in
 adopting per weeknight; on weekends 6-10 potential adopters individuals or families. The
 site has over 35 parking spaces to accommodate both clients and volunteers some of who
 will be on bicycles. The number of people in the building during open hours
 (volunteers/public) is expected to be 20-30 in the evenings or on weekend days.
 Educational programs, shelter tours, etc. that are offered to the community will usually be
 for smaller groups and should normally be accommodated by the building's parking spaces.
 Hours of Operation: Adoption hours: Initially hours will be 6 to 8 pm Monday-Friday and
 noon to 4 pm Saturdays and Sundays. As our volunteer base increases additional adoption
 hours may be added. Four adoption counselors - 2 cat and 2 dog - will work with adopters
 to find an animal suitable for their home.
 Other Working Shifts:
  Mornings (approximately 8:30-11 am): Animal Care, Laundry and Cleaning; about 3-6
 volunteers will be on location.
  Evenings (6-10 pm): About 10 - 12 volunteers will be on location (supervisor and
 cage/kennel crews.)
 Medical care hours: Volunteer medical personnel (max 2) will be present based on their
 schedules.
 Hours with no volunteers on-site: C.A.R.E. does not anticipate having volunteers in the
 center overnight 10 pm-8: 30 am). The building will be armed with a fire/burglary
 alarm/sprinkler system.

Comments
The proposed shelter is 9,534 ft2 and will occupy the entire north building. The shelter
activities will include the acceptance and kenneling of dogs and cats; volunteer and new
pet owner training; a Community Area for school groups, meetings of volunteers, and
for miscellaneous community purposes; fundraising events such as dog washes, nail-
trimming, yard sales and auctions, holiday bazaars, bake sales, plant sales, and
walks/runs; and the storage and transport of pet related foods and supplies to the food
bank. A screened outdoor pet exercise area is proposed for the east side of the
building (2016-17P).
Although C.A.R.E. has no current plans to convert part of the building for retail sales or
services to the general public, C.A.R.E. will evaluate its needs and opportunities as they
arise.
The Planning Division has worked with the applicant for many years to find a location
for their animal shelter. At the request of the Village Manager, a set of zoning
considerations and site selection criteria was previously developed to assist in the
evaluation of locations for this use. Many of these were included in the proposed
Zoning chapter amendment (2016-13P) for animal shelters.
Staff evaluated the C.A.R.E. proposal for this location against the proposed site
selection criteria.
 The site must have adequate off-street parking to meet the needs of customers and
 employees. Based on the recommended parking determination in 2016-15P there is
 adequate parking for this use, but only with the use of the shared public parking
 spaces in the site plan approval for the planned development in 2016-14P.
 The site should be on an arterial street with bus service, for convenient access by
 customers and employees. Niles Center Road is an arterial street with regular bus
 service 7 days a week. Other bus and train service is in close proximity.
 The building must be sound proofed. As a condition of this case, 4927 Main Street
 must be sound proofed so that the noise from inside the shelter cannot be heard off-
 site.
 The building should be adequately sized to allow space for required services and
 exercise for animals when outdoor exercise is not possible due to weather
 conditions. The proposed outdoor pet exercise area in 2016-17P is covered and
 mostly sheltered. Some indoor spaces are adequate to meet this condition.
 Nonprofit organizations should seek rental properties of currently tax exempt
 properties to preserve the Village’s tax base. We are aware of multiple locations in
 Skokie that C.A.R.E. sought when looking for a new home. At least one was
 currently tax exempt. Others were not. This is particularly concerning for many on
 Staff because it is in the Downtown Science and Technology Tax Increment
 Financing (TIF) district. In TIF districts, all the property taxes collected above the
 established base go directly for public improvements and economic development
 programs defined for each district. This revenue is used to generate revenue to pay

16P__SUP_for_C_A_R_E__aminal_shelter_at_4927_Main_Street

 for the bonds to start the Illinois Science + Technology Park, building the Oakton-
 Skokie station, assist in funding façade improvements and interior rehabilitation for
 retail and restaurant uses, utility relocations, land acquisition, and other public-
 benefit improvements. The assessed valuation of the TIF is above established base,
 which means that 100% of the property taxes collected from any increase in value
 in the TIF go directly to fund these programs. It also means that 100% of the
 property taxes lost from any decrease in value in the TIF are directly taken from
 these programs. C.A.R.E. has worked with the Village to reduce the impact seeking
 property tax-exempt status by agreeing to only seek exempt status for the tax
 parcel with the 4927 Main Street building.
 The site should be in an area where the animals can be brought outside for
 controlled exercise (walking on a leash). The proposed outdoor pet exercise area
 fulfills this requirement.
Staff is supportive of the mission of C.A.R.E. but does have reservations about this
location. It is a large site located in the TX Transit Mixed-Use district that is close to 2
rapid transit stations and could be used for much denser buildings. Because the use is
all-volunteer, no jobs will be created from the use. This site has no retail component
despite being on a retail street, and will generate no sales taxes except for sales at
special events. There are also concerns whether the use will hamper the
redevelopment of the adjacent properties. The second, attached building on the site is
currently occupied by legal nonconforming uses that do produce employment and
should be generating some sales tax. As a condition of this special use permit, the
petitioner must agree that no other portion of the site plan in 2016-14P will be removed
from the property tax rolls and that upon cession of any of the nonconforming uses,
that portion of the building may only be re-occupied by an allowable use in the zoning
district. This may require financial contributions in lieu of providing off-street parking,
as required in the Zoning chapter.
Staff strongly recommends that some accommodation be made for regular retail sales
activities in the building such as pet supplies or a café (a cat café is under construction
at the Tree House Humane Society in West Rogers Park).
Because the use would be short of parking without the use of Village parking and the
use will eliminate property tax TIF revenue that would otherwise be used to construct
the public parking lot, Staff is requiring that C.A.R.E. fund 35% of the cost of the
parking lot that is on Village property.
Staff will only support the petitioner’s request if all the Recommended Special Use
Conditions are agreed to by the petitioner. Also, Staff was not able to make all positive
Recommended Findings of Fact.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
At its June 8, 2016, meeting, the Appearance Commission approved the proposed
façade and landscape improvements, subject to only 1 awning to be located above the

main entrance, proposed signs to be approved by Staff, landscaping to be modified and
approved by Appearance Commissioner Klein, and loading dock fencing facing Main
Street to be improved. Modifications to the façade and landscape plan have since been
made, including new board-on-board wood fencing surrounding all 3 sides of the
outdoor pet exercise area, replacing the previously-proposed chain link fencing. The
Appearance Commissioner still needs to review the modifications to the landscaping
plan.


STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for a special use permit for an animal
shelter at 4927 Main Street be APPROVED, based upon the Proposed Findings of Fact
and only subject to the recommended and standard special use permit conditions.


RECOMMENDED SPECIAL USE CONDITIONS
1. The petitioner shall comply with all the conditions in the site plan approval ordinance
 for this location.
2. The petitioner shall develop the Subject Property in substantial conformance with
 the final Village approved sign plans dated <insert date of final approved plan> and

Discussion and Interested Parties
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to property owners in the
area as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. It was determined by Corporation Counsel
that notice was proper and correct.
As the cases all pertain to the same locations, they were discussed together but voted
on separately.

Staff requested that the reports for Cases 2016-16P and 17P be accepted into the
record as written. Amendments were made to Case 2016-14P after the report was
written subsequent to a meeting with the petitioner. These changes were discussed
when staff summarized the case.
Ben Schueler, a C.A.R.E. representative, expecting to be a homeowner in Skokie soon,
gave background information about the organization. C.A.R.E. is a grass roots, all
volunteer, non-profit charity organization serving Skokie and surrounding areas. It has
been in existence for 29 years and they are looking for a permanent home. Many of
their volunteers live and work in Skokie. The applicant intends to purchase the
property rather than lease. C.A.R.E. provides foster homes, vet care, and adoptions
for homeless, sick and injured animals. They also supply pet food to the food pantry.
The chairman asked what their capacity is currently. Their cat rescue center in Chicago
has about 15 cats and they can handle a maximum of 20 dogs. Right now, all their
dogs are in foster homes. They are a no-kill shelter.
Another commissioner asked where the trash area is located and if there were any state
standards regarding the noxious odors or regulations about cleaning up.
Linda Gelb, president, stated that all shelters are state licensed and inspected. She
said that C.A.R.E. has a strict protocol which volunteers are trained to follow to
maintain the utmost cleanliness using water and bleach. The trash area is located in a
corner on the east end of the site.
Another commissioner asked about the number of dogs allowed in the outdoor play
area at one time. Most times no more than 2 dogs at 1 time unless a play group of 2-3
dogs go out to play ball; but never unattended. When dogs are playing, there is no
barking.
Another commissioner asked about noise in the outside area. Ken Park, 9050 Ewing,
stated that the outdoor exercise area will be located at the east end where the loading
and receiving area is presently and is fully roofed and will be semi-enclosed by an 8-
foot board on board fencing which will provide a sound and visual barrier. The area will
face the bike trail and Skokie Swift.
Another commissioner asked that with 5 facilities within a 6-mile radius what the
demand is. Ms. Gelb stated that all shelters operate differently. Red Door takes in cats
and rabbits and Wrightway takes mostly dogs and puppies. C.A.R.E. helps the entire
north shore area and about half of C.A.R.E.’s animals are owner give-ups.
She also stated that the animal shelter in Morton Grove is in a residential area and Tree
House in Chicago backs up to residential.
One commissioner asked for an explanation of what the process is and how long until
an animal is placed. When an animal is taken in, they are spayed or neutered, given
appropriate shots, micro-chipped and evaluated on their energy level and temperament
before they are put up for adoption. When potential owners come in, they too are
evaluated so that the right pet is matched to a household.

Another commissioner asked about the two previous sites that were considered. Staff
answered they were in the industrial district (one on Oakton and one on Monticello) but
significantly deficient in parking.
Staff explained the site plan as 2 buildings and 2 surface parking lots with one rent
paying tenant. There is no change contemplated of this arrangement. Staff is very
supportive of the parking plan north of Main Street. It will be a shared lot with 7
parking spaces owned by C.A.R.E., 7 parking spaces shared between the petitioner and
the Village, and 13 spaces owned by the Village. The users of the site have exclusive
use of 14 spaces during the hours of their operation. Otherwise, the spaces will be
available for users in the Main Street area and bike trail. It is not for overnight or CTA
commuter parking. On the south, there are 25 parking spaces belonging to C.A.R.E.
Some of the property encroaches into the bike path. The removal of gravel & restoring
soil in the bike path will be the responsibility of the petitioner and the Village will be
responsible for the planting, landscaping and maintaining the bike path.
The Engineering Division is in support of a 12-foot driveway instead of the 14 feet so
that a full sidewalk can be constructed along the driveway.
The Planning Department requested that utilities & poles be relocated or put
underground. The wires are too low and should be raised. The Appearance
Commission approved the site design. The Fire Department commented that it is not
ideal but is workable.
Staff spoke about the changes to the recommended conditions. Condition 1-d. will be
removed, Condition 1-g. might need a variance, Condition 2-a. needs to be verified,
Condition 7. will be kept as is with a 24-month window, and a condition will be added
for land dedication of 3 feet on Niles Center and 2 feet at the corner of Main & Niles
Center which will not affect the site plan.
A commissioner asked if an environmental impact study on the bike path was
completed. Staff answered that the Village acquired the land from the railroad and did
not study adjacent land. Staff stated that a state grant from Illinois Department of
Natural Resources helped fund the bike path not federal money. The commissioner
asked if an economic impact study was done for the west side townhomes regarding a
reduction of property values.
Another commissioner responded that property impact studies are usually prepared by
the petitioners not the Village.
Another commissioner commented that an improved building would increase adjacent
property values rather than a building that has been vacant for a long time and in run
down condition.
Another commissioner asked about economic development within the School District 69
boundaries other than the Floral Avenue project. Staff reminded everyone that we are
coming out of a slow economic recovery and mentioned Chase Bank moving to a new
site. He stated however, there is interest in the area.

A commissioner wanted confirmation that if lightning struck the transformer on the
pole, the petitioner has 2 years for relocating the utilities and to change to no pole and
underground the lines. Staff added that the petitioner requested 3 years.
Staff worked with the petitioner for many years to find a suitable site. It is a concern to
many that this non-profit organization locating in the Downtown Science + Technology
TIF district would take the site off the tax rolls which help fund public improvements
and economic development for the district. Staff strongly encourages the petitioner to
actively do some merchandising at the site similar to a cat café (under construction in
Rogers Park).
A commissioner asked how staff can endorse this. Staff stated that accommodations
have been recommended that the petitioner pay the construction cost for their spaces
in the public parking lot (approximately 30%) north Main Street.
A commissioner clarified that if the Village created the parking lot, the funds would be
taken from the TIF.
A commissioner commented that a parking lot would be a benefit for all in the area. He
stated that the patrons utilizing this facility would use other downtown businesses. It is
better than keeping a site vacant.
For the outdoor exercise area, the petitioner must strictly comply with the nuisance
ordinance for sound and clean-up. Should the animal shelter provide shelter for cats
only, the operation of the outdoor exercise area would cease and the special use permit
automatically repealed.
The chairman asked for additional comments.
Ken Park stated that C.A.R.E. does not object to most of the recommendations of staff.
However, they are a non-profit organization and request relief for the 30% contribution
for the north parking lot. They also contend that there are 7 different properties that
get power from the transformer so it should be a shared expense and not theirs alone.
The expense of removing the overhead transformers would max them out and they
would prefer to leave the poles in.
There was discussion among the commissioners regarding the relief sought from
C.A.R.E. Some thought that contributing to the parking fund was a fair trade for using
the shared parking spaces. Others thought that the Village can’t expect them to cover
the cost for undergrounding utilities for other facilities. The chairman suggested that
since the Plan Commission is a recommending body only, the issues should move up
the ladder to the Village Board and give the petitioner time to work it out.
The Community Development director suggested that it is a non-issue. The pole is
there and ComEd is servicing it. It is the responsibility of ComEd to bring service to the
building in another way. Nothing has to be done now.

1. Acceptance and kenneling of adoptable dogs and cats.

Lobby:

When a dog or cat is accepted by C.AR.E: Paperwork is started, in the Lobby with a
description of animal, how received, what medical work is needed .
If animal is a give-up – a relinquishment questionnaire is completed.

Animal is then given flea treatment and placed in a cage – a note is made to collect a
fecal sample.

C.A.R.E.’s volunteer Medical Directors are informed on the new arrival. Animal will be
medically assessed and transported by volunteers to a local Vet for spay/neutering,
inoculating as needed, and microchipping.

Lobby is to be used for adopters to fill out paperwork and then wait for available
adoption counselors to determine the appropriateness of adoption.

Plan Commission Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, September 6, 2016


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairperson

 4927 Main Street (outdoor pet exercise area)
 Related Cases – 2016-13P: Zoning Chapter Amendment

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its August 4, 2016, meeting, the Plan Commission heard a request for a special use
permit for an outdoor pet exercise area at 4927 Main Street in a TX Transit Mixed-Use
zoning district and any relief discovered during the review of this case.
Staff provided summary information regarding this case. The plan is to update the
4927 Main Street building, parking lots, and surrounding landscaping for use as an
animal shelter, where C.A.R.E. can house and care for a maximum of 20 dogs and 30
cats awaiting adoption.
The outdoor dog exercise area is located on the east side of the building and will have a
wood fence screening to mitigate noise.
Committed to being a good neighbor that adds value to the community, C.A.R.E. will
enhance the existing outside area with landscaping that will also provide a buffer for
noise. Shelter dogs will not be outside unsupervised.
Per the Zoning chapter amendment in case 2016-13P, the outdoor pet exercise area
may only exist in conjunction with an animal shelter. This use is part of the special use
request for an animal shelter in case 2016-16P.
Staff had concerns in regards to potential noise and odor from this outdoor use.
Suggestions to mitigate these potential impacts included providing soundproofing
and/or other means of noise control, plus cleaning up after each dog and placing one or
more covered waste receptacles in the outdoor pet exercise area. For the outdoor
exercise area, the petitioner must strictly comply with the nuisance ordinance for sound
and clean-up.


Should the animal shelter cease operations, or only provide shelter for cats in the
future, the special use permit for the outdoor pet exercise area would be automatically
repealed.



VOSDOCS-#501694-v2-Master_Plan_Commission_report_for_2016-17P_-_SUP_for_outdoor_pet_exercise 1
The Plan Commission supports this request, subject to the petitioner ensuring noise and
odor control in the outdoor pet exercise area.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
At its June 8, 2016, meeting, the Appearance Commission approved the proposed
façade and landscape improvements, subject to conditions. The petitioner has
addressed these conditions, and the landscape plan will be subject to one last review
and approval by the Appearance Commissioner with a landscape design background.


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. Notice was reviewed
and ruled to be proper and correct.
Comments made by individuals that pertain to the outdoor pet exercise area include a
favorable comment, C.A.R.E. is about saving animals, and comments of concern,
including the environmental impact should the use be allowed and animal shelters don’t
belong adjacent to residential districts. C.A.R.E. representatives stated dogs will be
taken in if they bark and dogs will never be left unattended in the exercise area.


PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommended, by a vote of 8 ayes, 1 nay, and 0 absent, that the
Petitioner’s request for a special use permit for an outdoor pet exercise area, only in
conjunction with an animal shelter at 4927 Main Street, be APPROVED, based upon
the Proposed Findings of Fact and subject to the recommended and standard special
use permit conditions.

Discussion and Interested Parties

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




501669 Plan Commission meeting minutes 8/4/16
As the cases all pertain to the same locations, they were discussed together but voted
on separately.

Staff requested that the reports for Cases 2016-16P and 17P be accepted into the record
as written. Amendments were made to Case 2016-14P after the report was written
subsequent to a meeting with the petitioner. These changes were discussed when staff
summarized the case.

Ben Schueler, a C.A.R.E. representative, expecting to be a homeowner in Skokie soon,
gave background information about the organization. C.A.R.E. is a grass roots, all
volunteer, non-profit charity organization serving Skokie and surrounding areas. It has
been in existence for 29 years and they are looking for a permanent home. Many of
their volunteers live and work in Skokie. The applicant intends to purchase the property
rather than lease. C.A.R.E. provides foster homes, vet care, and adoptions for
homeless, sick and injured animals. They also supply pet food to the food pantry.

The chairman asked what their capacity is currently. Their cat rescue center in Chicago
has about 15 cats and they can handle a maximum of 20 dogs. Right now, all their
dogs are in foster homes. They are a no-kill shelter.

Another commissioner asked where the trash area is located and if there were any state
standards regarding the noxious odors or regulations about cleaning up.

Linda Gelb, president, stated that all shelters are state licensed and inspected. She said
that C.A.R.E. has a strict protocol which volunteers are trained to follow to maintain the
utmost cleanliness using water and bleach. The trash area is located in a corner on the
east end of the site.

Another commissioner asked about the number of dogs allowed in the outdoor play area
at one time. Most times no more than 2 dogs at 1 time unless a play group of 2-3 dogs
go out to play ball; but never unattended. When dogs are playing, there is no barking.

Another commissioner asked about noise in the outside area. Ken Park, 9050 Ewing,
stated that the outdoor exercise area will be located at the east end where the loading
and receiving area is presently and is fully roofed and will be semi-enclosed by an 8-foot
board on board fencing which will provide a sound and visual barrier. The area will face
the bike trail and Skokie Swift.

Another commissioner asked that with 5 facilities within a 6-mile radius what the
demand is. Ms. Gelb stated that all shelters operate differently. Red Door takes in cats
and rabbits and Wrightway takes mostly dogs and puppies. C.A.R.E. helps the entire
north shore area and about half of C.A.R.E.’s animals are owner give-ups.
She also stated that the animal shelter in Morton Grove is in a residential area and Tree
House in Chicago backs up to residential.

One commissioner asked for an explanation of what the process is and how long until an
animal is placed. When an animal is taken in, they are spayed or neutered, given
appropriate shots, micro-chipped and evaluated on their energy level and temperament


501669 Plan Commission meeting minutes 8/4/16
before they are put up for adoption. When potential owners come in, they too are
evaluated so that the right pet is matched to a household.

Another commissioner asked about the two previous sites that were considered. Staff
answered they were in the industrial district (one on Oakton and one on Monticello) but
significantly deficient in parking.

Staff explained the site plan as 2 buildings and 2 surface parking lots with one rent
paying tenant. There is no change contemplated of this arrangement. Staff is very
supportive of the parking plan north of Main Street. It will be a shared lot with 7 parking
spaces owned by C.A.R.E., 7 parking spaces shared between the petitioner and the
Village, and 13 spaces owned by the Village. The users of the site have exclusive use of
14 spaces during the hours of their operation. Otherwise, the spaces will be available
for users in the Main Street area and bike trail. It is not for overnight or CTA commuter
parking. On the south, there are 25 parking spaces belonging to C.A.R.E. Some of the
property encroaches into the bike path. The removal of gravel & restoring soil in the
bike path will be the responsibility of the petitioner and the Village will be responsible for
the planting, landscaping and maintaining the bike path.

The Engineering Division is in support of a 12-foot driveway instead of the 14 feet so
that a full sidewalk can be constructed along the driveway.

The Planning Department requested that utilities & poles be relocated or put
underground. The wires are too low and should be raised. The Appearance
Commission approved the site design. The Fire Department commented that it is not
ideal but is workable.

Staff spoke about the changes to the recommended conditions. Condition 1-d. will be
removed, Condition 1-g. might need a variance, Condition 2-a. needs to be verified,
Condition 7. will be kept as is with a 24-month window, and a condition will be added
for land dedication of 3 feet on Niles Center and 2 feet at the corner of Main & Niles
Center which will not affect the site plan.

A commissioner asked if an environmental impact study on the bike path was
completed. Staff answered that the Village acquired the land from the railroad and did
not study adjacent land. Staff stated that a state grant from Illinois Department of
Natural Resources helped fund the bike path not federal money. The commissioner
asked if an economic impact study was done for the west side townhomes regarding a
reduction of property values.

Another commissioner responded that property impact studies are usually prepared by
the petitioners not the Village.

Another commissioner commented that an improved building would increase adjacent
property values rather than a building that has been vacant for a long time and in run
down condition.

Another commissioner asked about economic development within the School District 69
boundaries other than the Floral Avenue project. Staff reminded everyone that we are

501669 Plan Commission meeting minutes 8/4/16
coming out of a slow economic recovery and mentioned Chase Bank moving to a new
site. He stated however, there is interest in the area.

A commissioner wanted confirmation that if lightning struck the transformer on the pole,
the petitioner has 2 years for relocating the utilities and to change to no pole and
underground the lines. Staff added that the petitioner requested 3 years.

Staff worked with the petitioner for many years to find a suitable site. It is a concern to
many that this non-profit organization locating in the Downtown Science + Technology
TIF district would take the site off the tax rolls which help fund public improvements and
economic development for the district. Staff strongly encourages the petitioner to
actively do some merchandising at the site similar to a cat café (under construction in
Rogers Park).

A commissioner asked how staff can endorse this. Staff stated that accommodations
have been recommended that the petitioner pay the construction cost for their spaces in
the public parking lot (approximately 30%) north Main Street.

A commissioner clarified that if the Village created the parking lot, the funds would be
taken from the TIF.

A commissioner commented that a parking lot would be a benefit for all in the area. He
stated that the patrons utilizing this facility would use other downtown businesses. It is
better than keeping a site vacant.

For the outdoor exercise area, the petitioner must strictly comply with the nuisance
ordinance for sound and clean-up. Should the animal shelter provide shelter for cats
only, the operation of the outdoor exercise area would cease and the special use permit
automatically repealed.

The chairman asked for additional comments.

Ken Park stated that C.A.R.E. does not object to most of the recommendations of staff.
However, they are a non-profit organization and request relief for the 30% contribution
for the north parking lot. They also contend that there are 7 different properties that
get power from the transformer so it should be a shared expense and not theirs alone.
The expense of removing the overhead transformers would max them out and they
would prefer to leave the poles in.

There was discussion among the commissioners regarding the relief sought from
C.A.R.E. Some thought that contributing to the parking fund was a fair trade for using
the shared parking spaces. Others thought that the Village can’t expect them to cover
the cost for undergrounding utilities for other facilities. The chairman suggested that
since the Plan Commission is a recommending body only, the issues should move up the
ladder to the Village Board and give the petitioner time to work it out.

The Community Development director suggested that it is a non-issue. The pole is there
and ComEd is servicing it. It is the responsibility of ComEd to bring service to the
building in another way. Nothing has to be done now.

• Public sidewalks run along Main Street and Niles Center Road.
• Overhead utilities run through the south side of the site, which also serve 2
 buildings to the south of the property.
• The east side of the building on the Subject Site is served by a 12’ access driveway
 located on site.
• Main Street has a dedicated bicycle lane and the Skokie Valley Trail provides an off-
 road cycle path.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioner’s Submittal
Tumbling River LP, on behalf of Community Animal Rescue Effort, Inc. is requesting
approval for a special use permit for an outdoor exercise area at 4927 Main Street in a TX
Transit Mixed-Use zoning district and any relief discovered during the review of this case.
The petitioner submitted a statement, paraphrased as follows:
 The plan is to update the 4927 Main Street building, parking lots, and surrounding
 landscaping for use as our animal shelter, where we can house and care for a maximum of
 20 dogs and 30 cats awaiting adoption.
 The dog exercise area will have fence screening to mitigate noise.
 Because all the animals live by the moment, we are committed to the continual
 improvement of their quality of life by meeting medical, emotional, and physical needs on a
 daily basis, stressing training, socialization, and mental stimulation.
 Committed to being a good neighbor that adds value to the community, we will enhance the
 existing outside area with a landscape plan that will also provide a buffer for noise. Shelter
 dogs will never be outside unsupervised, and animal waste will be picked up immediately.
 The adoption center hours are at non-peak times, so traffic should not be adversely
 impacted.



 VOSDOCS-#500486-v1-Staff_Report_-_2016-17P_-_special_use_permit_for_outdoor_pet_excercise_at_4927_Main_Street

 There will be different hours of operation for adoption and animal care. C.A.R.E. does not
 anticipate having volunteers in the center overnight (10:00 p.m. to 8:30 a.m.); however,
 the building will be armed with a fire/burglary alarm/sprinkler system.


Comments
Staff Comment and Review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments. Comments
were provided for related cases; however, none were provided for case 2016-17P, other
than the Planning Division.


Planning Division
Per the Zoning chapter amendment in case 2016-13P, the outdoor pet exercise area
may only exist in conjunction with an animal shelter. This use is part of the special use
request for an animal shelter in case 2016-16P.
Staff had concerns in regards to potential noise and odor from this outdoor use.
Suggestions to mitigate these potential impacts included providing soundproofing
and/or other means of noise control, plus cleaning up after each dog and placing one or
more covered waste receptacles in the outdoor pet exercise area.
The petitioner is providing a wood fence to minimize noise and will be picking up animal
waste immediately to minimize odor.
Should the animal shelter cease operations, or only provide shelter for cats in the
future, the special use permit for the outdoor pet exercise area would be automatically
repealed.
Staff generally supports this request, subject to the petitioner ensuring noise and odor
control in the outdoor pet exercise area.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
At its June 8, 2016, meeting, the Appearance Commission approved the proposed
façade and landscape improvements, subject to only 1 awning to be located above the
main entrance, proposed signs to be approved by staff, landscaping to be modified and
approved by Appearance Commissioner Klein, and loading dock fencing facing Main
Street to be improved. Modifications to the façade and landscape plan have since been
made, including new board-on-board wood fencing surrounding all 3 sides of the
outdoor play area, replacing the previously-proposed chain link fencing.
