Plan Commission Council Chambers, 8:00 PM March 19, 2012


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman
Case: 2011-30P: Special Use Permit
 Special use permit for religious assembly at 5151 Church Street

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its February 2, 2012 meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request of Danut and
Anna Balint, on behalf of Williams Memorial Temple Church of God in Christ, for a
special use permit for an existing religious assembly use in a B2 Commercial zoning
district. The petitioners requested the special use in order to legalize the existing
church, which has been operating at the subject site without a special use or occupancy
permit since October of 2010. The church, which has 9 active congregants, is located
within the northern portion of the building and consists of a 72-seat worship area and 3
offices. The remainder of the building currently contains storage space, vacant
warehouse space, and a construction contractor’s office. The church is presently
exploring the possibility of buying the property from the owner. If it were to purchase
the property, the church would leave the remainder of the building vacant until it
intended to expand.
The site plan indicates that the parking lot can currently accommodate 16 parking
spaces, including 1 handicapped parking space. The petitioners would install
landscaping within the area at the northeast corner of the property as well in the
islands at the north end of the parking lot. The petitioners do not intend to make any
other changes to the interior layout or exterior appearance of the building at this time.
The Plan Commission concurred with the staff recommendation to grant the special use
permit subject to conditions. It should be noted that Village staff inspected the building
prior to the Plan Commission hearing and noted numerous code violations that would
need to be corrected prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit for the church.
In response to a question by a commissioner who asked the pastor of the church what
he expected the occupancy of his congregation to be at any one time during one of the
larger services, the pastor responded that he could not determine how large the
attendance could be at a service but acknowledged that Village staff would not permit
more than 64 people to occupy the space.
In response to another question by a commissioner who asked the pastor if he was
comfortable with the restrictions that the staff report imposed upon the church
regarding occupancy, the pastor replied that he understood the restrictions and stated
that he would come to the Village to amend his special use permit were the
congregation to grow beyond the maximum number of approved seats.

 1 of 17
Another commissioner asked whether there were any unsafe conditions currently
present at the subject site. Staff replied that aside from several items that would need
to be brought into compliance with code, the building itself was in good condition for its
age.
A commissioner asked if any of the fire safety requirements, such as the sprinkler and
warning systems, would be able to be waived. Staff replied that these conditions could
not be waived as code requires any building over 5,000 square feet to have these
systems in place. Although the building was not built with these safety systems in
place, the use of the building has changed, necessitating its need to be brought into
compliance with not just the fire code, but other codes as well. Because the church
occupied the subject site prior to the Village’s knowledge of its presence, staff did not
have an opportunity to inspect the building and bring these issues to the attention of
the church until this time.
Staff informed the petitioners that the Village had sent the pastor’s attorney a letter
inviting the church to meet with Village staff prior to the Plan Commission hearing to
discuss the code issues. Although the church did not choose to meet with staff at that
time, staff stated that the church and its architect would need to meet with staff prior
to the Village Board meeting in order to review details of the code violations so that a
plan could be developed to address these issues.

INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to all property owners in
the area of the subject site and all occupants within the subject site as prescribed by
the Zoning Chapter. No interested parties spoke regarding this case.
Subsequent to the Plan Commission hearing, the pastor and his attorney met with staff
and submitted a revised site and floor plan which depicts both the existing layout of the
sanctuary and the office space as well as a layout of the church’s future expansion into
the remainder of the building. The church will need to amend its special use permit
prior to any further expansion beyond the sanctuary and office space it presently
occupies.

APPEARANCE COMMISSION
Appearance Commission review was not required.

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommends by a vote of 8 ayes and 0 nays, with 1 member
absent, that the petitioners’ request for a special use permit for religious assembly at
5151 Church Street be APPROVED, subject to the recommended conditions.

PLAN COMMISSION
POSITIVE FINDINGS OF FACT 2011-30P: Special Use Permit
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, March 19, 2011


1 Consideration The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will
 not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals,
 or general welfare; and the proposed building or use at the
 particular location is necessary or desirable to provide a service or a
 facility which is in the public interest and will contribute to the
 general welfare of the neighborhood or community.
 Findings The existing religious assembly use will not be detrimental to or
 endanger the public health, safety, morals, or general welfare,
 provided that the building is brought into compliance with code
 regulations. The existing church is in the public interest and
 contributes to the general welfare of the community.
2 Consideration The proposed building or use will not substantially change the
 character of the neighborhood, will not have an undue adverse
 affect upon adjacent property or property values in the
 neighborhood, will not unduly aggravate traffic conditions, and will
 not unduly burden essential public services such as drainage
 facilities, public utilities, and those services pertaining to public
 health, safety, and welfare in general.
 Findings The church has been present at the subject since September of
 2010 and has not had a negative impact upon the neighborhood.
 Most church activities take place either during the evening or on
 weekends so there is little to no traffic or parking impact upon the
 other existing business that share the building with the church or
 upon other businesses in the area. It is not anticipated that the
 church will unduly burden essential public services such as drainage
 facilities, public utilities, and those services pertaining to public
 health, safety, and welfare in general.
3 Consideration The proposed building(s) or use will be designed, arranged, and
 operated so as to permit the development and use of neighboring
 property in accordance with the applicable district regulations.
 Findings The existing use has not impacted, nor is it anticipated that it will
 impact, the development and use of neighboring properties.




#396485 v1 – Master Plan Commission Report 2011-30P: Special Use Permit for religious assembly at 5151 Church Street
 7 of 17
4 Consideration The proposed use will not alter or be contrary to the primary
 purpose of the zoning district of the area in which it is proposed,
 when its effect is considered in conjunction with the cumulative
 effect of the number of various special uses of all types already in
 the adjacent area and in the Village as a whole.
 Findings The existing religious assembly use is not contrary to the primary
 purpose of the B2 Commercial district. The use is compatible with
 other uses and special uses in the adjacent area. A special use
 permit was issued in 1998 for another church, also within the B2
 district, to the west of the subject site.
5 Consideration The proposed use and its plan conform to the general intent of the
 Official Comprehensive Plan.
 Findings The site is designated as manufacturing/service employment in the
 Comprehensive Plan. Although the existing use does not conform
 to the general intent of the plan, it is located adjacent to land
 designated for single family detached residential land uses where
 religious assembly is a more compatible use.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioner’s Submittal
The petitioners are requesting a special use permit for religious assembly in a B2
Commercial zoning district. The special use is requested in order to legalize the
Williams Memorial Temple Church of God in Christ, which has been operating at the
subject site without a special use permit or occupancy permit since October of 2010.
The church is located within the northern portion of the building and consists of a 72-
seat worship area and 3 offices. Two of the offices are used for handling church
business and the third office functions as a meeting room. At the present time, there
are 9 active congregants. The church’s weekly schedule includes Sunday school and
worship, which meets between 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., bible study, which meets on
Wednesday evenings from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Friday prayer service, which meets
from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.
The remainder of the building currently contains vacant warehouse space and a
construction contractor’s office, which is operated by the property owner. A portion of
the southern part of the building is used by a relative of the property owner for storage
purposes. The church is presently exploring the possibility of buying the property from
the owner and would leave the remainder of the building vacant if it were to purchase
the property.
The site plan indicates that the parking lot can currently accommodate 18 parking
spaces, including 1 handicapped parking space. The petitioners will install landscaping
within the area at the northeast corner of the property as well in the islands at the
north end of the parking lot. The petitioners do not intend to make any other changes
to the interior layout or exterior appearance of the building at this time.
Comments
Staff Comment and Review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments. Staff
comments on the subject case were received from the Engineering Division, the Fire
Department, and the Building Division. All other departments returned the sheets with
no comments.



#396485 v1 – Master Plan Commission Report 2011-30P: Special Use Permit for religious assembly at 5151 Church Street
 10 of 17
Engineering Division
The Engineering Division recommends approval of the special use permit for the
existing religious assembly use but states that the parking lot can only accommodate a
total of 16 parking spaces, not 18 spaces as incorrectly depicted on the site plan.
Thirteen 9-foot wide spaces are to be provided along the west property line and two-9-
foot wide spaces and one 16-foot-wide handicapped space are to be provided within
the indented east side of the parking lot. The petitioner must revise the site plan to
show the approved layout and dimensions of the parking lot as well as indicate the
placement of an R7-8 and $250 fine signage in the required handicapped parking
space.

The parking requirement for the use is 1 space for each 4 seats or for each 80 lineal
inches of seating space in the assembly area. With 16 parking spaces provided on site,
a total of 64 seats are approved for the assembly area, not the 72 seats that are
currently present. The site cannot technically accommodate any additional seats due to
the lack of parking. No other businesses shall operate within the building while the
church occupies the building due to this lack of required parking, unless relief is
requested from Section 118-218(2) of the Village Code. Any increase in the seating
capacity or the overall area that the church occupies in the building shall require an
amendment to the Special Use Permit through the full public hearing process along with
a request for relief from Section 118-218(2) of the Village Code. If any existing floor
area within the building is intended for church social activities, the parking ratio for that
area will be calculated at 1 space per 100 square feet of net floor area.

Fire Department
The Fire Department requires that in addition to a fire alarm system and emergency
and exit lighting, a sprinkler system be installed in order for the building to be in
compliance with International Building Code regulations, as stated in Section 22-33(18)
of the Skokie Village Code. The required installation of a sprinkler system may also
necessitate upgrading the water service to the building. The boat that is currently
stored in the warehouse area in the south side of the building must be drained of all
fuel, if any is present, and no fuel is permitted to be stored within the building.

The Fire Department also requests that the floor plan be revised to indicate all intended
uses of the facility including the layout of the worship room, meeting and community
rooms, classrooms, kitchen, storage space, bathrooms, and exits.

Building Division
The Building Division recommends approval of the special use permit; however, in order
for the church to legally occupy the building, the tenant space has multiple issues that
must be brought into compliance with various codes. The size and number of exits, the
corridor size, and construction of the rear wall currently separating the church from the
rest of the building must be brought into compliance with the International Building

#396485 v1 – Master Plan Commission Report 2011-30P: Special Use Permit for religious assembly at 5151 Church Street
 11 of 17
Code. Washrooms must be brought into compliance with the State of Illinois Plumbing
Code. Exit signs and emergency lighting must be brought into compliance with the
National Electric Code. The fresh air ventilation system must comply with the
International Mechanical Code. The insulation, lighting, and HVAC system must be
brought into compliance with the International Energy Conservation Code. The tenant
space must also be brought into compliance with the latest edition of the Illinois
Accessibility Code.

Planning Division
The Planning Division recommends approval of the special use permit for the existing
religious assembly use. Although the church has been operating without a special use
permit or an occupancy permit at the subject site since September of 2010, the use is
compatible with the existing zoning and neighboring land uses. Another church, located
on Church Street and to the west of the subject site, was granted a special use permit
in 1998 (case 98-5P). Because most church activities take place either during the
evening or on weekends, there is little to no traffic or parking impact upon the other
existing business that share the building with the church or upon other businesses in
the area.

Any change in user to another religious group shall require an application for a new
Special Use Permit, including public hearings. The petitioners must provide proof to the
Village that the church is the sole occupant of the building prior to the issuance of an
occupancy permit.

The parking lot must be sealcoated and restriped to match the final approved site plan.
One bicycle parking space must be installed in a 2-foot by 6-foot concrete pad that shall
be located in the Church Street parkway across from the main entrance to the church.
The bicycle parking space must be depicted on the revised site plan. All materials
associated with the construction contractor’s business must be removed from the
parking lot. Additionally, the 3 existing lots of record that comprise the property must
be consolidated into a single new tax parcel.



APPEARANCE COMMISSION
Appearance Commission review is not required.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioners’ request for a special use permit for religious
assembly at 5151 Church Street be APPROVED, based upon the Proposed Positive
Findings of Fact and subject to the recommended and standard special use permit

Proposed Positive Findings of Fact 2011-30P: Special Use Permit
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, February 2, 2012


1 Consideration The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will
 not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals,
 or general welfare; and the proposed building or use at the
 particular location is necessary or desirable to provide a service or a
 facility which is in the public interest and will contribute to the
 general welfare of the neighborhood or community.
 Findings The existing religious assembly use will not be detrimental to or
 endanger the public health, safety, morals, or general welfare,
 provided that the building is brought into compliance with code
 regulations. The existing church is in the public interest and
 contributes to the general welfare of the community.
2 Consideration The proposed building or use will not substantially change the
 character of the neighborhood, will not have an undue adverse
 affect upon adjacent property or property values in the
 neighborhood, will not unduly aggravate traffic conditions, and will
 not unduly burden essential public services such as drainage
 facilities, public utilities, and those services pertaining to public
 health, safety, and welfare in general.
 Findings The church has been present at the subject since September of
 2010 and has not had a negative impact upon the neighborhood.
 Most church activities take place either during the evening or on
 weekends so there is little to no traffic or parking impact upon the
 other existing business that share the building with the church or
 upon other businesses in the area. It is not anticipated that the
 church will unduly burden essential public services such as drainage
 facilities, public utilities, and those services pertaining to public
 health, safety, and welfare in general.
3 Consideration The proposed building(s) or use will be designed, arranged, and
 operated so as to permit the development and use of neighboring
 property in accordance with the applicable district regulations.
 Findings The existing use has not impacted, nor is it anticipated that it will
 impact, the development and use of neighboring properties.




#396485 v1 – Master Plan Commission Report 2011-30P: Special Use Permit for religious assembly at 5151 Church Street
 16 of 17
4 Consideration The proposed use will not alter or be contrary to the primary
 purpose of the zoning district of the area in which it is proposed,
 when its effect is considered in conjunction with the cumulative
 effect of the number of various special uses of all types already in
 the adjacent area and in the Village as a whole.
 Findings The existing religious assembly use is not contrary to the primary
 purpose of the B2 Commercial district. The use is compatible with
 other uses and special uses in the adjacent area. A special use
 permit was issued in 1998 for another church, also within the B2
 district, to the west of the subject site.
5 Consideration The proposed use and its plan conform to the general intent of the
 Official Comprehensive Plan.
 Findings The site is designated as manufacturing/service employment in the
 Comprehensive Plan. Although the existing use does not conform
 to the general intent of the plan, it is located adjacent to land
 designated for single family detached residential land uses where
 religious assembly is a more compatible use.

PLAN COMMISSION REPORT 2012-2P: Chapter Amendment
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, March 19, 2012


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman, Skokie Plan Commission
Case: 2012-2P: Zoning Chapter Amendment
 Automated teller machines


PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its March 1, 2012 meeting, the Plan Commission reviewed proposed regulations for
walk-up automatic teller machines (ATMs) where the user is standing outside; however
the Zoning Review Committee (ZRC) did discuss the broader question of what activities
may be allowed outside. Staff found that certain aspects of ATM usage are regulated
by the Illinois Automated Teller Machine Security Act, which prohibits the licensing of
ATMs and preempts any security requirements that the Village may apply.
The recommendation includes general conditions for outdoor usage of ATMs as a
special use in districts that allow banks. Outdoor storage and sale of propane in
business districts with a special use permit was also recommended. There was no
discussion by the Commission on the proposed amendments.
Subsequent to the Plan Commission meeting, the Code Committee met and discussed
propone sales, concluding that the mechanical vending of propane should not be
allowed. It should be noted that many of the siting and control concerns expressed at
the Code Committee could be accommodated as conditions to a special use permit.


INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly advertised as prescribed by the zoning chapter. No
interested parties spoke at the public hearing.


PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommends, by a vote of 9 ayes and 0 nays, recommends that
sections of Chapter 118 Zoning of the Skokie Village Code, as shown in the attached
Staff Report for 2012-2P, and that outside uses be studied further with the possibility of
consolidating chapter sections in the Village Code.

Case: 2012-2P: Zoning Chapter Amendment
 Automated teller machines


 General Information
 Petitioner Planning Division
 Purpose A review of outside uses and activities, including walk-up
 automatic teller machines, in the Zoning chapter of the Skokie
 Village Code.

STAFF ANALYSIS
In a continuing effort to review, modernize, simplify, and reorganize the Zoning chapter
of the Skokie Village Code, this case specifically addresses walk-up automatic teller
machines (ATMs) where the user is standing outside; however the Zoning Review
Committee (ZRC) did discuss the broader question of what activities may be allowed
outside.
This group of uses has historically been subject to a large number of regulations and
multiple amendments. The Village has been very restrictive about what business
activities may be outdoors. In various sections of the Code, the Village requires that all
business, servicing, storing, processing, manufacturing, fabricating, assembly,
disassembly, repairing, cleaning, and servicing and testing of materials, products and
goods shall be conducted within completely enclosed principal buildings, except as
otherwise provided by the Zoning chapter. Exceptions to these rules are very limited in
various zoning districts and include:

Some examples of other activities that are not currently permitted in the Village include:
1. Walk-up carryout windows
2. Uncovered or relatively unenclosed outdoor display of produce, landscaping
 materials, soft drinks, or windshield wiper fluid outside grocery stores, gas stations,
 or home improvement centers.
3. Cafeteria trucks
4. Mobile food vendors
5. Storage and sale of propane and propane tanks except at automotive sales or
 service establishments and automobile rental locations.
6. Collection boxes for clothes or other items.
7. Ice machines
In practice, propane should not be stored indoors. There are a few places in the
business districts that do sell propane.
The trend has been to start outdoor activities as special uses, then if problems are
limited to move toward revised special use requirements or permitted uses with
standard conditions.
The International Zoning Code (IZC) does not provide specific regulations regarding
outdoor activities; therefore it is presumed that all outside activities are conditional
(special) uses. Land Based Classification Standards (LBCS) does not specifically classify
ATMs as a function. The Village would consider an ATM as a bank, credit union, or
other savings institution. There is a kiosks structure category that would describe the
physical stand alone machine..
Currently all ATMs in Skokie are required to be indoors, usually within some type of
vestibule, lobby, or business use, or as part of a drive-though facility. Many people
have seen or used ATMs with outside access in other communities or walked up to an
ATM in a drive-through facility.
The Village had issued one special use permit for a walk-up ATM as a vending machine
for the former Washington Mutual near the Dempster-Skokie Yellow Line station, but
that SUP has since been repealed and the ATM removed. Staff suspected that there
might be legal issues with treating ATM machines like vending machines. The Illinois
Automated Teller Machine Security Act (ATM Act) prohibits the licensing of ATMs as well
as preempts any security requirements that the Village may apply. The Village requires
vending machines to get an annual license. The Police Department had initially
requested to review video surveillance plans for outdoor ATMs; however those
recommendations were not put in the ZRC’s recommendations because of the ATM Act.
When looking at the ATM issue before us, the ZRC has developed 5 scenarios in which
ATMs that are not accessed in the same building with another use may be located:

A. Within the side of the building with on-site outdoor access
This is the situation where the customer walks up to a building that has an ATM machine embedded into
the building structure. The ATM might face a private sidewalk or a parking lot.
B. Within the side of the building with outdoor access from a public sidewalk
In this scenario, the customer walks up to a building that has an ATM machine embedded into the
building structure, but conducts the transaction on a public sidewalk, such as in a building built to the
property line, which is allowed in most business districts and all mixed-use districts.
C. Stand alone machine or kiosk with on-site outdoor access
Here there is a separate machine or structure housing the ATM with access from somewhere on site.
This might include an outside ATM at a park or outside a building.
D. Stand alone machine or kiosk with access from a public sidewalk
Here there is a separate machine or structure housing the ATM on the sidewalk edge with access from
the public sidewalk.
E. Stand alone building housing an ATM machine with interior access.
Regardless how this building is oriented, the Village would apply all zoning regulations for a building with
the use as bank.

Based on these scenarios, the ZRC has developed standard conditions to regulate all
ATMs as allowed by the ATM Act in terms of use, clearance, and access, similar to the
standard conditions for outdoor dining and the equipment for motor vehicle charging
stations. The definition should be separated from vending machine, but like outdoor
vending machines, outdoor access to ATMs should require a special use permit in
districts where banks are allowed: in NX, TX, CX, B2, B3, B4, M1, M2, , M3, and on
retail streets. The ZRC further recommends adding propane storage and sales as a
special use to business districts.


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 deleted
highlighted and stricken through. Staff further recommends that outside uses be
studied further with the possibility of consolidating chapter sections in the Village Code.

 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes
 Date: March 1, 2012

A motion to approve the minutes of the February 16, 2012 meeting was made by Plan
Commissioner Mitchell and seconded by Commissioner Paradise. All voted aye.

Case Description

2012-2P – Zoning Chapter Amendment:
The Village of Skokie Planning Division is requesting a review of outside uses and activities,
including walk-up automatic teller machines, in the Zoning chapter of the Skokie Village Code.

Discussion and Interested Parties

Legal Notice was properly posted and advertised as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter.

Upon gathering information on outside uses, the Planning Supervisor found various sections in
the Village Code where they are discussed and is requesting to consolidate them in a table format
or have an ordinance drafted for consistency at another time. Tonight’s focus is on walk-up
ATMs and propane tank sales.

During the review of this case, it has been discovered that there are regulations on walk-up
ATMs put in place by the state. They cannot be licensed, or considered like vending machines,
or have any security requirement placed on them. We can however, regulate their location and
recommend standard conditions to be applied as allowed by the Illinois Automated Teller
Machine Security Act.

There are a few places in Skokie where propane is sold. Propane may be sold with auto uses.
Typically the tanks cannot be stored inside. Staff is proposing adding propane sales as a special
use in business districts.

There were no interested parties in the audience and no questions from the commissioners. The
Planning Supervisor requested that the staff report be entered into the record as presented.


Recommendation and Voting

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