You know, there's 34 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:24,760 only two items so number two is going to go first, number one 35 00:07:22,919 --> 00:07:28,520 will go second if that's okay with everybody. 36 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:34,960 Um this So, the first item on the agenda tonight is a public hearing SUP 2026 37 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:39,120 -00012 for a special use permit and design 38 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:46,480 review with variations for a storage container at 581 Roger Williams Avenue. 39 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:51,200 My understanding is this item has been withdrawn by the 40 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:55,760 petitioner. Is that correct, Planner Bergsing and Planner Burhop? 41 00:07:52,880 --> 00:08:00,120 » Uh yes, so the applicant by email withdrew this application and so it is 42 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:03,120 not before consideration before the Plan and Design Commission. 43 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:08,960 Uh and they'll they'll then have to proceed to come into compliance with the 44 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:16,080 uh storage container regulations. >> And thus, having been withdrawn, that 45 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:21,560 means we have no action to take and that item has been dismissed. I'm sorry 46 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:30,240 if anyone was here to comment on that. But it doesn't look like it.

I believe I see only you here. 80 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,720 » Yes, thank you, Chair. 81 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:58,440 Just a brief presentation for this item. Okay, so good evening, everybody. My 82 00:10:56,680 --> 00:11:02,360 name is Karl Burhop. I'm a senior planner with the City of Highland Park 83 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,440 in the Community Development Department, the Planning Division. And so, this is a 84 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:09,600 presentation for the special use permit for this site. 85 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,400 So, this is a corner lot on Green Bay Road and I believe believe that's 86 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:16,760 Glenview Avenue to the south. Uh this is a public 87 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:20,880 hearing. Staff recommend the commission review this request to allow a different 88 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:24,520 non-conforming use. The commission may adopt findings of 89 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:29,200 fact recommending approval if it chooses that were in the packet. Uh staff did 90 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:33,880 not have any conditions of approval in the draft. The commission may also 91 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:38,200 consider conditions as appropriate. So, this is an existing building. 92 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:42,680 Uh the request is to convert uh the first floor of this two-story building 93 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:48,480 to a personal training facility. Uh several years ago 94 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:54,400 the city council made a interpretation uh through some specific regulation in 95 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:58,000 article 4 of the zoning code uh that uh personal training facilities are to be 96 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:03,560 considered a medical office land use for purposes of of regulation. Uh so, when 97 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:07,120 staff reviewed this for parking, for instance, we reviewed it to the medical 98 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:11,280 office requirement. The second floor will remain an office 99 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:15,720 space, which is in line with its uh current use and its approval from 2008. 100 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,600 Property is currently vacant, but it was previously used as a general office 101 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,480 space. Uh the overall footprint of the 102 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,480 principal structure will remain. No proposed changes to the exterior. So, 103 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,480 this actually does not need design review. There's no design review. 104 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:32,320 They're not making any changes to the exterior. This is purely an interior 105 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:35,720 change of use uh request before the commission. 106 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:39,360 This is an aerial of the site. You can see there's the parking lot there. I 107 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:42,040 think there's 19 spaces on it. It's a non-conforming parking lot, but it's 108 00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:45,000 existing and they're not proposing any changes to that. 109 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:50,240 Uh you may recall immediately to the south 110 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:53,160 uh this is going to become a town home development. 111 00:12:53,880 --> 00:13:03,720 Background. So, back in 2008, the site was approved. So, um the way 112 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:09,000 non-conforming uses kind of work at the time in 2008, presumably there 113 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:13,760 would have been a legal non-conforming use. Though at the time 114 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:17,800 uh they had vacated for more than 2 years, and so 115 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:22,560 uh the applicant at that time came in and requested two things. They requested 116 00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:26,720 uh that the 2-year uh abandonment clause or termination 117 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:29,920 clause in article 9 be varied from this site. That was a variation that actually 118 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,280 had to go to the zoning Board of Appeals. It was a comp area for all that 119 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:37,400 goes to the zoning Board of Appeals and the city council. Then it also had a 120 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:40,480 special use permit that 121 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:45,440 through the Article 9 non-conforming section which was a change of use. 122 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:49,880 It was approved. It was approved and so this site now has that variation to the 123 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:53,560 two-year abandonment clause that runs with the land and it has the special use 124 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:57,800 permit but the special use permit is only for general business office. And so 125 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,640 this request amends that special use permit to allow a medical office use 126 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,840 which again they are they're asking for a personal training facility. 127 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,880 I think yeah, this new use does not trigger any landscaping or lighting or 128 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:16,040 design review. It's a purely an interior type thing. 129 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:19,800 They did provide a traffic study which we which was sent to Civiltech and 130 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:25,200 Civiltech did provide comments that were in the packet. The applicant has since 131 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:28,160 responded to those comments yesterday or today. 132 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,640 We will staff will send that to Civiltech. 133 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,600 Staff considers the Civiltech comments to be minor in nature and more of a 134 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:38,320 clarification. Should the commission have concern, you 135 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:43,600 can certainly adopt that as an additional of approval. From a parking 136 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:48,240 standpoint and this was in the report, even with this proposed change of use, 137 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:52,640 they will meet the off-street parking requirements with I I don't remember one 138 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:56,800 or two or three spaces to spare. So they will meet the parking 139 00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:01,680 requirement. I do have I do have one more comment 140 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:05,320 here because this is the last slide. There 141 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:09,640 this was in the report. The commission is supposed to use the 142 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:15,600 special use permit standards of approval but you're only using 143 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:22,480 you're only using 1 2 4 and 9. So you're only using four of the nine standards 144 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:28,120 and and the the the they all all of those standards matter, but I just will 145 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:33,200 read and here it says that a non-conforming use may be replaced by an 146 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:37,560 equal or less intense non-conforming use. And so that's really one of the 147 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:42,640 critical findings that the commission is making if you adopt the findings of fact 148 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:46,920 that what's proposed is an equal or less intense use. And there's there's 149 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:51,320 different ways to get to that. One way to get to that is is through 150 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:55,320 off-street parking. Of course there are other things to look at. And again staff 151 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:59,840 will just point out that the site on its own does comply with off-street parking 152 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:03,320 with this proposed use. Um with one or two spaces extra. I can't 153 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,600 remember what it said in the report, but it complies. 154 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:12,440 Um and so that's it. I can take any questions if there are any. 155 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:18,240 » Questions for staff. Commissioner Mendez. 156 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:21,680 » Appreciate the background Carl on uh considering this medical office cuz I 157 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:26,080 was looking at the zoning code and it looks like we've got something called 158 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:29,280 sports training school, which felt like the way that it's described is a little 159 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:33,880 bit more in line with what's being proposed than 160 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:38,680 medical office. Is there any other color as to why it's not a sports training 161 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:41,000 school and why city council determined to call it medical 162 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:44,839 » Yes, so I can talk I can talk about this a little more. So there was a whole 163 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:49,040 resolution for this. Uh this was a few years ago. There were multiple reasons 164 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:53,640 why the city council made this uh land use interpretation, 165 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:56,440 uh but one of the primary reasons uh 166 00:16:55,160 --> 00:17:02,120 uh personal trainers are kind of like 167 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:05,760 physical therapists physical therapy. Uh and they and the applicant can speak 168 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,760 more about their proposed use than than I can, but my understanding is that you 169 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:14,160 know it's it's sometimes just this one-on-one or very small group oriented 170 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,439 where you're it's it's very similar to physical therapy. I I don't I mean 171 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,040 that's that's the gist of it and that's what 172 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,959 staff thought several years ago. I I really don't have 173 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:26,360 more to more to say to that. There was more to it when this was done a few 174 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:28,640 years ago, but uh that's the main my main takeaway and the main thing I 175 00:17:27,439 --> 00:17:31,920 remember. We thought those were very similar. Physical therapist to personal 176 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:36,120 training, and a physical therapist would be a medical office. 177 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:42,200 » That makes sense. Thank you. 178 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,200 » Any questions for staff? 179 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:50,400 Uh would the petitioner like to make a presentation 180 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:56,000 or come up just to answer questions? Welcome back, counselor. I hope we will 181 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:59,160 not impose so much on your time at this particular presentation 182 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,920 » Always a pleasure to be here. Thank you. 183 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,600 » Would you like me to put up your presentation? 184 00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:08,120 » If you don't mind, I'll be very quick. Um so, good evening. 185 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,920 » Uh I'm sorry. Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but 186 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,840 the truth? >> I do. 187 00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:17,200 Um so, for the record, Katie Jenky-Dale with the law firm of DLA Piper. Per 188 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:21,920 usual, Carl uh senior planner perhaps has stolen my thunder and done a very 189 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:25,160 comprehensive um job uh previewing the request. Um there were 190 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:29,400 just a couple items I figured I'd add on behalf of my client, 191 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:35,760 the property owner, uh who's represented here tonight by uh Leslie and Brian 192 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:38,720 Berish. Um they acquired the site, which uh as was just shown, is at the 193 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:44,480 northwest corner of Green Bay and Glenview Road uh Glenview Avenue, 194 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:50,320 rather, um approximately 3 and 1/2 years ago in December of 2022. Since that um 195 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:54,920 and they bought it from who was then the office tenant of the building um who 196 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:58,680 vacated the building after they sold it. Um since that time, they've been 197 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:04,560 actively marketing it for the office use it's already allowed with no luck um as 198 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:08,720 you can probably imagine, office market is not incredibly robust right now. Um 199 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:12,680 and oftentimes when they found users like this, a lot of times uh the users 200 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,840 said, "Oh, it's not allowed. I'm just going to move on and find something 201 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:19,600 else." So, uh um um, in order to they've, um, 202 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:23,880 know this user, uh, this operator and agreed with this, uh, use to, uh, take 203 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:30,320 it upon themselves to get the use approved, um, in hopes that they can, 204 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:33,640 uh, finally re-tenant the building. Like it was already covered, uh, before 205 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:38,160 being an office, it was actually an auto repair shop, which you can kind of tell 206 00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:43,960 when you, uh, see the floor plans. Um, and typically, um, we expect and we 207 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:48,520 know the traffic that we prepared, um, kind of assumed conservatively, like 208 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:52,800 worst case scenario as far as, uh, trips to the site, but we really, 209 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:58,320 um, expect mostly this is going to be one-on-one training or maybe one-on-two 210 00:19:55,240 --> 00:20:02,720 training, uh, if a couple or, uh, you know, two friends want to be trained 211 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:08,600 together, about 1-hour sessions, um, but quite limited as far as impact. 212 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:13,360 Um, this is the, uh, floor plans. Again, we're not, uh, like outlining we're not 213 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:16,160 making any significant changes to, uh, the building, but we are building out 214 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:21,080 the first floor for that personal training and physical therapy space and 215 00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:24,520 keeping office on the second floor. And I think this actually, um, kind of 216 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:28,360 illustrates better, uh, you know, what that first floor 217 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:32,069 personal training area would look like, but don't ask me what you do with any of 218 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,680 that equipment. >> [laughter] 219 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:38,960 » Um, and the one other thing that I know is outlined in the staff report is we 220 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:43,560 have worked with the tenant, um, and have proposed, uh, have proposed signage 221 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:47,800 as part of this, um, that's detailed in the packet, one per frontage given that 222 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:54,440 we're on a corner lot. And you can kind of see the former use 223 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,440 as an auto shop, uh, in the building. 224 00:20:54,680 --> 00:21:01,800 And then, I I get to add one fact, uh, at this time. So, uh, the parking as 225 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:06,760 outlined, uh, we do have two extra spaces from what the, uh, what would be 226 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:10,600 required per code and a very nominal, uh, again, conservatively 227 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:16,240 uh, estimated traffic increase less than 1%. 228 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:20,160 And then these are the four standards that were just outlined that are 229 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:25,800 applicable here and we've outlined those in the packet as well as in the slide 230 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:28,640 how we believe that we comply with it. But with that, we're available for any 231 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:35,360 questions. We respectfully request favorable consideration and approval of 232 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:39,000 this. Thank you so much for your time. >> Questions for the petitioner. 233 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:47,395 Seeing none. Do we have any members of the public who 234 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,415 would like to speak on this matter? >> [clears throat] 235 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,440 » I got no takers on anything tonight. Man. [laughter] 236 00:21:53,720 --> 00:22:00,720 Uh okay. Seeing that there are no members 237 00:21:57,120 --> 00:22:06,080 of public who wish to speak. What is the will of the commission? 238 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:09,200 Do you wish to discuss this? Do you wish to make a motion? 239 00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:18,960 Or we can order pizza. >> I'm I'm fine with this. So I'm I'm fine 240 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,960 motioning to approve. 241 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:24,075 » I would second that motion. >> What was the motion? 242 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,800 » It's a motion to approve the base. >> [laughter] 243 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:29,000 » What motion to approve and >> I'll second. 244 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,120 » So that's just a recommendation to approve? 245 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:35,280 » Right. Yeah. >> The findings of fact as 246 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:39,240 Adopt the findings of fact as presented in the packet. 247 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:42,280 Uh no conditions on that. Okay? >> Nope. 248 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:47,840 » Okay. That's been moved and moved by Vice Chair Manis 249 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:52,200 and seconded by Commissioner Mantis. Um any discussion on the motion? 250 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:57,480 Oh that's a roll call. Sorry. I'm going to 251 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,500 I was almost going to do it myself. >> [laughter] 252 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,360 » It's a location. 253 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,600 » Commissioner will score all.

Any information items? Administrative design review updates. 266 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:56,800 » I I do chair. I have two administrative design review updates. 267 00:23:54,560 --> 00:24:02,480 Uh both on Roger Williams Avenue. So, 572 Roger Williams Avenue was approved. 268 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:08,720 I believe they changed the color of the awnings. 269 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:14,040 And then 473 Roger Williams Avenue, a uh design review on the front side for 270 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:19,480 I believe it's new windows uh along the sidewalk. And then on the 271 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:23,840 back side uh I believe uh screening for a mech unit on the roof and possibly 272 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:27,840 also a refuse container on the back. So, those are the two administrative design 273 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:31,560 review updates. >> Were those new new tenants in those 274 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:35,720 spaces or just changes? 275 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:40,040 » I the 473 Roger Williams will be a a new tenant and the other one I'm not sure. I 276 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,920 think so, but I don't I don't recall immediately. 277 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,720 » You may recall planner one Anthony Mistretta.

It's rather It's rather long in the land use table, 285 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:24,720 but basically it's cell phone facilities without towers. So, antennas, equipment 286 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:30,097 boxes that go up on rooftops, looking only at the B2RW overlay zone. 287 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:33,600 » Thank you. >> [snorts] 288 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:39,240 » Uh any case briefings, Director? >> Yes, Mr. Chairman.

I am going to share that it was 308 00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:29,560 a five to one vote. The mayor was out of town. 309 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,560 And 310 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:37,880 I was the one who voted against the subdivision. 311 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:41,840 And there was a question about whether the 312 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:45,240 whole site is landmarked and in fact staff was very clear that it is all 313 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,240 landmarked.
