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

28 2. By the terms of the aforesaid permit, the PROPERTY OWNER is required to install
29 and maintain landscaping in accordance with the plan dated March 29, 2017,
30 or as it may be subsequently revised with the approval of the Village Manager, or
31 designee, and the Corporation Counsel.

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

38 4. The purpose of this Agreement is to assure:

39 (a) installation of the landscaping in accordance with the landscaping plan
40 approved by the VILLAGE, and
41 (b) continued maintenance and care of the landscaping, including any
42 landscaping indicated in the parkway area.

1 maintained pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement are indicated on
2 the Landscape Plan attached hereto, marked Exhibit “1” and are hereby made a part
3 of this Agreement.

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

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

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

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

36 10. The VILLAGE shall be entitled to reimbursement for abating the nuisance in
37 restoring, maintaining or replacing the landscaping, provided that the VILLAGE
38 follows the procedures set forth in this Agreement. Costs shall include but shall not
39 be limited to actual costs incurred by the VILLAGE and administrative costs. The
40 VILLAGE shall make demand upon the PROPERTY OWNER for payment. If the
41 PROPERTY OWNER fails to pay the costs within 30 days of the date on which
42 demand is made, the VILLAGE may cause a lien to be placed on the Subject
43 Property. The VILLAGE may record a notice with the Recorder of Deeds for Cook
44 County stating that it has incurred expenses under the terms this Landscape

2 the amount owed.

4 institute a legal action to collect the amount owed. The PROPERTY OWNER agrees
5 to pay the VILLAGE a reasonable sum for attorney's fees and court costs.

6 12. If either party upon the execution of this Agreement or during the course of
7 performance considers that it is necessary to have the PROPERTY OWNER post

Case: 2017-13P: Subdivision
 4900 and 4920 Madison Street

 Related Cases – 2017-14P: Site Plan Approval
 2017-15P: Special Use Permit

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its May 18, 2017 meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request of 4900 Madison,
LLC, to resubdivide 1 lot into 2 lots at 4900 and 4920 Madison Street in a TX Transit
Mixed-Use district. At the present time, the western portion of the subject site contains
New Leaf Park, which is a private playground that is operated by Swift Child Care. The
eastern portion of the subject site contains a warehouse building that is used for
storage purposes and a parking lot for the Swift Child Care business located on the
south side of Madison Street at 8260 Elmwood Street.
The petitioner intends to configure the new subdivision to place the day care’s
playground and required parking spaces into 1 lot. The second lot will include the
warehouse building, which will be converted into a mixed-use development containing
ground floor commercial bathrooms, commercial vehicle parking, commercial storage,
and residential parking, plus 7 upper-level multifamily residences (case 2017-14P).
The subdivision will include a 5-foot-wide dedication for right-of-way along a portion of
the south side of the property for a walkway that will connect the Skokie Valley Trail to
the public sidewalks on Madison Street and Elmwood Street.
A 20-foot-wide easement is being created to the west of Lot 1 in order to enable
unobstructed fire department access to the west side of the mixed-use development.
The Plan Commission concurred with Staff’s recommendation to grant the subdivision
approval subject to conditions.

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

Street in a TX Transit Mixed-Use district. At the present time, the western portion of
the subject site contains New Leaf Park, which is a private playground that is operated
by Swift Child Care. The eastern portion of the subject site contains a warehouse
building that is used for storage purposes and a parking lot for the Swift Child Care
business located on the south side of Madison Street at 8260 Elmwood Street.
The petitioner intends to configure the new subdivision to place the day care’s
playground and required parking spaces into 1 lot. The second lot will include the
warehouse building, which will be converted into a mixed-use development containing
ground floor commercial bathrooms, commercial vehicle parking, commercial storage,
and residential parking, plus 7 upper-level multifamily residences (case 2017-14P).
The subdivision will include a 5-foot-wide dedication for right-of-way along a portion of
the south side of the property for a walkway that will connect the Skokie Valley Trail to
the public sidewalks on Madison Street and Elmwood Street.
A 20-foot-wide easement is being created to the west of Lot 1 in order to enable
unobstructed fire department access to the west side of the mixed-use development.

 will need to be adjusted in order to accommodate all uses located within the mixed-
 use development. An additional easement must be added on the plat to grant
 ingress and egress access to and from Lot 1 to the Madison and Elmwood rights-of-
 way.

All 3 cases pertain to the same project and were heard together but voted on
separately.




516970v1
Discussion and Interested Parties

Legal notice was reviewed by Corporation Counsel and verified to be proper and
correct.

Raffi Arzoumanian, architect for the project, presented the cases. He provided
some history regarding the original proposal and approval from 2014. There has
not been any demand for industrial space in this area for some time. His clients
purchased buildings on Madison Street and Elmwood Street in an old industrial
area adjacent to the pedestrian path. They operate a day care facility for
children; have created a private outdoor playground at the west end, installed
commercial bathrooms, storage, and added indoor parking for the eastern
portion of the site in a warehouse building which included plans for 10 residential
units above. The Fire Department had issues with the conversion of the industrial
building to a residential use so that portion of the mixed-use development was
withdrawn from the plan as they looked for different projects to utilize the space.
The Fire Department would only allow very limited warehouse uses. They have
revised their plans and made adjustments to the building, scaled down the
project to 7 residential units instead. The new plan is acceptable to the Fire
Department.

The petitioner also added that his clients are dedicating 5 feet for a walkway to
connect Madison Street to the pedestrian path.

In the original plans, the daycare center was adding on a 2nd floor as well as an
addition at the back of the building at 8260 Elmwood and 4920 Madison Street.
These plans also were revised eliminating the additions. The day care is
petitioning for an amendment to their special use permit to add 2 classrooms in
the basement of their building instead. The Fire Department is OK with it as
there are 2 means ingress and egress in the basement already and the building
is sprinklered. DCFS has already given their approval.

A commissioner asked if there were any state laws which prohibit small children
from having activities in the basement. Mr. Arzoumanian stated that infants and
toddlers cannot be below level but the basement classrooms are geared for older
children.

The chairman inquired if the residential units were available for rental.
Mr. Arzoumanian answered in the negative. The units will be loft- styled, with an
industrial look to them. There will be a flat roof with planters and seating. The
2nd floor units will have balconies and the 3rd floor unit will have decks. The
playground is fully landscaped and additional plantings will be used to fill in
wherever they can.




516970v1
Staff requested that all reports be accepted into the record as presented. The
Planning Supervisor added that the subdivision separates the residential building
and parking lot from the rest of the site.

After studying the aerial map displayed, some commissioners asked about other
neighboring businesses. Staff answered that the area is zoned TX and the
existing tenants are legal non-conforming uses.

The chairman wanted confirmation that there is no safety issue with the
playground and traffic from the residential building. It was noted that the
residential entrance is significantly separated from the playground.

Recommendations and Voting

A motion was made to approve the requests for a subdivision of 1 lot into 2, site
plan approval for a 3-lot planned development, and an amendment to the
existing special use permit to expand a child day care to include 2 basement
classrooms.

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
During its May 18, 2017, meeting, the Plan Commission heard the petitioner’s request
for site plan approval for a 3-lot planned development to include a child day care not in
a residence, a private playground, and a mixed-use building containing ground floor
commercial bathrooms, commercial vehicle parking, commercial storage, and residential
parking, plus 7 upper-level multifamily residences.
This site plan approval amends and replaces the previously approved expansion of the
day care building, omits the previously approved upper-story residence, keeps the
parking in the rear of the building, and adds classroom space in the basement. The
warehouse building will retain the bathrooms for the adjacent park, add storage for the
daycare in the northern portion of the building with a residential terrace on that portion
of the roof, add 7 residential units to the southern portion of the top of the building,
remove the depressed loading dock, and develop the remainder of the ground floor as
residential parking. This site plan approval includes both buildings, the park, all surface
parking, and a link to the Skokie Valley Trail from the Madison/Elmwood intersection.
Details of the Plan Commission discussion can be found in the attached meeting
minutes.

PETITIONERS’ SUBMITTAL
In case 2014-12P, the petitioners had requested site plan approval for a mixed-use
building with a daycare center for children and an upper-story residential unit, a private
playground, and a mixed-use building containing ground floor commercial bathrooms
and storage, ground floor residential parking, and 10 units of multifamily residences.
Because of fire protection issues from the Fire Prevention Bureau, the conversion of the
industrial building to residential use was withdrawn from the plan and that building was
allowed to remain with very limited warehouse usage.
Since that time, the private playground was developed, the north parking lot was
installed, and minor improvements made to the warehouse building. Staff continued to
work with the petitioners to explore many options to gain full fire protection access to
the warehouse building to allow residential units. The plan presented in this case is
acceptable to the Fire Prevention Bureau.
The proposed revision to the existing site plan approval is a request for a 3-lot planned
development to include a child day care not in a residence, a private playground, and a
mixed-use building containing ground floor commercial bathrooms, commercial vehicle
parking, commercial storage, and residential parking, plus 7 upper-level multifamily
residences. The subdivision for this development, which will split off the mixed-use
building and its required parking from the private playground and the day care’s
required parking, is case 2017-13P. The amendment modifying the existing child day
care special use permit is case 2017-15P, which will omit the previously approved
expansion of the day care building, omit the previously approved upper-story residence,
keep the parking in the rear of the building, and add classroom space in the basement.
The warehouse building will retain the bathrooms for the adjacent park, add storage for
the daycare in the northern portion of the building with a terrace on that portion of the
roof, add 7 residential units to the southern portion of the top of the building, remove
the depressed loading dock, and develop the remainder of the ground floor as

residential parking. This site plan approval includes both buildings, the park, all surface
parking, and a link to the Skokie Valley Trail from the Madison/Elmwood intersection.
The petitioner contends:
 The [petitioner] is proposing to develop 7 residential dwelling units on top the
 existing industrial building. The building is set back from the street and is
 adjacent to a park and children playground. The building is also located along
 the trail to the east. The building has been vacant for many years. The
 character of the area has changed over the years and there is no market
 demand for industrial use in the area. The client has developed the adjacent
 property as a park for children. The access for large vehicles to the building is
 at best difficult. Therefore, there is no possibility of the building being used as
 an industrial facility.

 The proposed development will bring the building back into use. It will improve
 the area both from an aesthetic point of view and from safety point of view.
 The improved landscape, access, and utilities will certainly have positive impact
 on the character of the neighborhood and surrounding property values.



STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff requests for comment were sent to all pertinent departments. Staff comments on
the subject case were received from the Planning, Forestry, and Engineering Divisions.
All other departments either had no comments or did not respond.
Planning Division
 The Planning Division is supportive of the amended site plan.
 In case 2014-12P, Staff reported that if, in the future, adequate fire protection could
 be accommodated, the building or the site of the building may be developed for
 uses allowed in the TX district. The development of the north building is consistent
 with the zoning and a non-conforming industrial use will be removed.
 Planning is also supportive of the modifications to the day care building. Although
 the removal of the upper-story residence changes the previously approved use of
 this building from a mixed-use to a purely commercial building, such buildings are
 allowed in the TX zoning district. By not putting the addition on the back of the
 building, more day care parking spaces stay adjacent to the day care center
 building.
 The 5’ right-of-way dedication along the southern property boundary of 4920
 Madison Street will provide pedestrian access to the Skokie Valley Trail. This access
 not only is supported by the connectivity and enhancing open spaces core concepts
 in the Sector A: Downtown portion of the Comprehensive Plan, but will also
 discourage pedestrians and bicyclists from using private property to access the
 trailway and direct the general public away from the private park. The dedication

 will be part of the subdivision in 2017-13P. Two bicycle parking spaces need to be
 moved from the playground are to the day care center building parcel.
Forestry Division
 The pH within the soil in Skokie is too high for red maple. Forestry staff
 recommends substituting with Freeman maple or State Street maple. It is also
 recommended that species be diversified and other trees, such as hybrid elm or
 Kentucky coffeetree be substituted for some of the maples.
Engineering Division
 The Engineering Division recommends approval of the proposed site plan approval.
 Parking requirements are met.
  34 vehicle parking spaces required for all uses/39 provided (27 on day care
 lots/12 on residential lot).
  2 accessible parking spaces required, 2 provided.
  4 bicycle spaces required /10 provided (6 by day care park/4 in residential
 garage).
 The petitioner must provide lighting to the garage and parking lot with the current
 IES standards in accordance of Section 118-212 (f) of the Skokie Village Code.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
The Appearance Commission approved the design of the multifamily residences (2017-
031A) as presented, subject to conditions, on May 10. The condition of approval was to
have the landscape architect review the south landscape plan, vary the tree selection,
and look at the plants under the trees to ensure they can tolerate shade. In the
discussion just prior to the approval, the Freeman Maple was suggested as a possible
replacement tree.


STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS

development to include a child day care not in a residence, a private playground, and a
mixed-use building containing ground floor commercial bathrooms, commercial vehicle
parking, commercial storage, and residential parking, plus 7 upper-level multifamily

Discussion and Interested Parties

Legal notice was reviewed by Corporation Counsel and verified to be proper and
correct.

Raffi Arzoumanian, architect for the project, presented the cases. He provided
some history regarding the original proposal and approval from 2014. There has not
been any demand for industrial space in this area for some time. His clients purchased
buildings on Madison Street and Elmwood Street in an old industrial area adjacent to
the pedestrian path. They operate a day care facility for children; have created a
private outdoor playground at the west end, installed commercial bathrooms, storage,
and added indoor parking for the eastern portion of the site in a warehouse building
which included plans for 10 residential units above. The Fire Department had issues
with the conversion of the industrial building to a residential use so that portion of the
mixed-use development was withdrawn from the plan as they looked for different
projects to utilize the space. The Fire Department would only allow very limited
warehouse uses. They have revised their plans and made adjustments to the building,
scaled down the project to 7 residential units instead. The new plan is acceptable to
the Fire Department.

The petitioner also added that his clients are dedicating 5 feet for a walkway to connect
Madison Street to the pedestrian path.

In the original plans, the daycare center was adding on a 2nd floor as well as an addition
at the back of the building at 8260 Elmwood and 4920 Madison Street. These plans
also were revised eliminating the additions. The day care is petitioning for an
amendment to their special use permit to add 2 classrooms in the basement of their
building instead. The Fire Department is OK with it as there are 2 means ingress and
egress in the basement already and the building is sprinklered. DCFS has already given
their approval.

A commissioner asked if there were any state laws which prohibit small children from
having activities in the basement. Mr. Arzoumanian stated that infants and toddlers
cannot be below level but the basement classrooms are geared for older children.

The chairman inquired if the residential units were available for rental.
Mr. Arzoumanian answered in the negative. The units will be loft- styled, with an
industrial look to them. There will be a flat roof with planters and seating. The 2nd
floor units will have balconies and the 3rd floor unit will have decks. The playground is
fully landscaped and additional plantings will be used to fill in wherever they can.

 15 of 16
Staff requested that all reports be accepted into the record as presented. The Planning
Supervisor added that the subdivision separates the residential building and parking lot
from the rest of the site.

After studying the aerial map displayed, some commissioners asked about other
neighboring businesses. Staff answered that the area is zoned TX and the existing
tenants are legal non-conforming uses.

The chairman wanted confirmation that there is no safety issue with the playground
and traffic from the residential building. It was noted that the residential entrance is
significantly separated from the playground.

Recommendations and Voting

A motion was made to approve the requests for a subdivision of 1 lot into 2, site plan
approval for a 3-lot planned development, and an amendment to the existing special
use permit to expand a child day care to include 2 basement classrooms.

Plan Commission Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, June 19, 2017


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairperson
Re: 2017-15P: Special Use Permit
 8260 Elmwood Street and 4920 Madison Street

 Related Cases – 2017-13P: Subdivision
 2017-14P: Site Plan Approval

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
During its May 18, 2017, meeting, the Plan Commission heard the petitioner’s request
to amend an existing special use permit (2014-13P) to expand a child day care not in a
residence at 8260 Elmwood Street and 4920 Madison Street to include 2 basement
classrooms at the 8260 Elmwood building. Parking would be on both properties,
bathrooms and storage facilities would be located on the north side of Madison Street in
a planned mixed-use building to be assigned an address of 4900 Madison Street, and
an outdoor playground at 4920 Madison Street. This amendment also eliminates the
previously approved 2-story addition and retains the 4 parking spaces off the alley
behind the 8260 Elmwood building.


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. No interested parties spoke about this case.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
The Appearance Commission did not need to review this case.


PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommended, by a vote of 8 ayes and 0 nays with 1
commissioner absent, to amend an existing special use permit (2014-13P) to expand a
child day care not in a residence at 8260 Elmwood Street, 4900 Madison, and 4920
Madison Street to include 2 basement classrooms at the 8260 Elmwood building and
modified areas of 4900 Madison Street, all in a TX district, be APPROVED subject to
the attached Positive Findings of Fact and Recommended Special Use Permit Conditions
listed below. Staff further recommends that the current special use permit V.O. #14-

PETITIONERS’ SUBMITTAL
The petitioners’ request to amend an existing special use permit (2014-13P) to expand
a child day care not in a residence at 8260 Elmwood Street and 4920 Madison Street to
include 2 basement classrooms at the 8260 Elmwood building. Parking would be on
both properties, bathrooms and storage facilities would be located on the north side of
Madison Street in a planned mixed-use building to be assigned an address of 4900
Madison Street, and an outdoor playground at 4920 Madison Street. This amendment
also eliminates the previously approved 2-story addition and retains the 4 parking
spaces off the alley behind the 8260 Elmwood building.
The petitioners contend:
 The Swift Daycare Center has been operating at the above address for over a
 decade. The center has recently developed a new park and additional parking at
 4920 Madison. The addition of the existing basement to the school does not
 have any negative impact on the character of the neighborhood, surrounding
 property values and other matters. Providing additional parking as mentioned
 above has improved traffic and circulation in the area.


STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff requests for comment were sent to all pertinent departments. Staff comments on
the subject case were received from the Planning and Engineering Divisions. All other
departments either had no comments or did not respond.
Planning Division
 The Planning Division is supportive of the special use permit and the modifications
 to the day care building and adjacent park. The removal of the depressed loading
 dock improves the safety of the children. The address of the daycare portion of the
 mixed-use building will be 4900 Madison Street.

Discussion and Interested Parties

Legal notice was reviewed by Corporation Counsel and verified to be proper and
correct.

Raffi Arzoumanian, architect for the project, presented the cases. He provided
some history regarding the original proposal and approval from 2014. There has not
been any demand for industrial space in this area for some time. His clients purchased
buildings on Madison Street and Elmwood Street in an old industrial area adjacent to
the pedestrian path. They operate a day care facility for children; have created a
private outdoor playground at the west end, installed commercial bathrooms, storage,
and added indoor parking for the eastern portion of the site in a warehouse building
which included plans for 10 residential units above. The Fire Department had issues
with the conversion of the industrial building to a residential use so that portion of the
mixed-use development was withdrawn from the plan as they looked for different
projects to utilize the space. The Fire Department would only allow very limited
warehouse uses. They have revised their plans and made adjustments to the building,
scaled down the project to 7 residential units instead. The new plan is acceptable to
the Fire Department.

The petitioner also added that his clients are dedicating 5 feet for a walkway to connect
Madison Street to the pedestrian path.

In the original plans, the daycare center was adding on a 2nd floor as well as an addition
at the back of the building at 8260 Elmwood and 4920 Madison Street. These plans
also were revised eliminating the additions. The day care is petitioning for an
amendment to their special use permit to add 2 classrooms in the basement of their
building instead. The Fire Department is OK with it as there are 2 means ingress and
egress in the basement already and the building is sprinklered. DCFS has already given
their approval.

A commissioner asked if there were any state laws which prohibit small children from
having activities in the basement. Mr. Arzoumanian stated that infants and toddlers
cannot be below level but the basement classrooms are geared for older children.

The chairman inquired if the residential units were available for rental.
Mr. Arzoumanian answered in the negative. The units will be loft- styled, with an
industrial look to them. There will be a flat roof with planters and seating. The 2nd
floor units will have balconies and the 3rd floor unit will have decks. The playground is
fully landscaped and additional plantings will be used to fill in wherever they can.

Staff requested that all reports be accepted into the record as presented. The Planning
Supervisor added that the subdivision separates the residential building and parking lot
from the rest of the site.

After studying the aerial map displayed, some commissioners asked about other
neighboring businesses. Staff answered that the area is zoned TX and the existing
tenants are legal non-conforming uses.

The chairman wanted confirmation that there is no safety issue with the playground
and traffic from the residential building. It was noted that the residential entrance is
significantly separated from the playground.

Recommendations and Voting

A motion was made to approve the requests for a subdivision of 1 lot into 2, site plan
approval for a 3-lot planned development, and an amendment to the existing special
use permit to expand a child day care to include 2 basement classrooms.

Community Development Department Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, June 19, 2017


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman, Skokie Plan Commission
Case: 2017-20P: Zoning Chapter Amendment
 Transportation, communications, information, and utilities uses

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its June 1, 2017, meeting the Plan Commission reviewed possible modifications to
the Zoning Chapter of the Village Code regarding transportation, communications,
information, and utilities uses.
The only recommendation was to change school and employee bus transportation uses
to a special use in M3. This use is already a special use in M1 Office Assembly and M2
Light Industry districts, but a permitted use in M3 Industry districts. With the increase
of retail uses along Touhy Avenue and the new high school at Central Park and Madison
in the southeast corner of Skokie adjacent to M3 districts, a special use permit would
allow the Plan Commission and Village Board to consider the potential impacts of this
use with respect to its neighboring uses and allow Staff to request a traffic impact study
to analyze peak traffic impacts that this use creates during specific times of day. This
change would not affect established users in the M3 district unless they expand or
change locations.


INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal Notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to all property owners in
the area of the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. No interested parties
provided testimony about this case.


PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommended, by a vote of 8 ayes, 0 nays, and 1 member
absent, that Appendix of Chapter 118 Zoning of the Skokie Village Code be amended to
change school and employee bus transportation from a permitted use to a special use
in M3 Industry districts.

 Transportation, communications, information, and utilities uses


 General Information
 Petitioner Skokie Village Manager
 Purpose To review and recommend possible modifications to the
 Zoning Chapter of the Village Code regarding transportation,
 communications, information, and utilities uses.

PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL
The Village of Skokie is requesting review and possible modifications of the Zoning
chapter of the Village Code regarding transportation, communications, information, and
utilities uses.


STAFF ANALYSIS
All pertinent departments and divisions were offered an opportunity to comment on this
case, and our collective comments are included in this analysis. As part of our review
of uses in the Zoning chapter of the Village Code, Staff reviewed the group of
transportation, communications, information, and utilities uses in Appendix A. This
group of uses includes transportation services, publishing, motion pictures and sound
recording, information and data processing industries, utilities, and utility services.
The only recommendation that Staff is making at this time is to school and employee
bus transportation uses. This use is already a special use in M1 Office Assembly and
M2 Light Industry districts, but a permitted use in M3 Industry districts. With the
increase of retail uses along Touhy Avenue and the new high school at Central Park and
Madison in the southeast corner of Skokie adjacent to M3 districts, Staff recommends
that this use also obtain a special use permit as it would in other industrial districts to
allow the Plan Commission and Village Board to consider the potential impacts of this
use relate to its neighboring uses. Specifically, the special use process gives Staff the
ability to request a traffic impact study to analyze peak traffic impacts that this use
creates during specific times of day.

 Date: June 1, 2017

A motion was made by Commissioner S. Berman and seconded by Commissioner
Laxpati to approve the minutes of the May 18, 2017 meeting.

Case Description

2017-20P – Zoning Chapter Amendment: Transportation, Communications,
Information, and Utilities Uses

The Skokie Village Manager requests a review and possible modifications to the Zoning
Chapter of the Village Code regarding transportation, communications, information, and
utilities uses.

Discussion and Interested Parties

Legal notice was properly advertised as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. Personal
notice was not necessary.

Staff requested the report to be accepted into the record as presented. Periodically,
they are asked to review sections of the Village Code. Initially, when the use chart was
reviewed and put into a table format, it was noted that uses were changing in the M3
districts.

There are retail uses now west on Touhy Avenue and the Rand McNally site is now a
private high school. Bus companies and outdoor bus storage lots are special uses in the
M1 Office Assembly and M2 Light Industry districts but are permitted uses in the M3
Industry district. Now that buses are sharing roadways with industrial uses there is the
potential for traffic conflicts and problems.

Staff is recommending that school and bus transportation uses be changed from being
a permitted use to becoming a special use in the M3 district to allow the Village to
examine the impact on traffic during peak periods.

A commissioner asked about the status of the bus companies currently in M3- one on
St. Louis and one very cramped on Howard Street and Channel Road. Staff stated that
they can continue as long as they stay as is and don’t intensify. If they move within the
district or a new company comes in, they will be required to go to the Plan Commission
and Village Board for a special use permit.
