He asked if that is consistent. 35 Planner Mistretta advised backlit and halo-lit signage are virtually the same. Senior Planner Burhop read a 36 portion of the code addressing backlit, and halo-like signage in the B3 district. 37 38 Mr. Kerry Leonard, Owner’s Representative for Keshet, said they wish to bring uniformity. He noted the 39 building was purchased in 2023. 40 41 Mr. Alec Thornton, Architect with LCM Architects, LLC, said the monument/ground sign is not new (was 42 formerly a bank sign). He noted an SUV turning radius was added. Tenant signage was dropped down. 43 44 Chairperson Moore asked if anyone in the audience wishes to speak on this matter. There was no one. 45 46 Commissioner Kerch moved to approve the design review package with the amendment that City Staff does 47 not regulate nor enforce content of signage as stated B(2) on the Applicant’s Signage Standard page (see Plan and Design Review Commission Minutes October 21, 2025 - Page 2 Page 5 of 113  1 Attachment 4 of the packet).

Senior Planner Coleman said 34 yes. Chairperson Moore said it will have two sides whether it is V-shaped or not. 35 • a car would be on either side. Senior Planner Coleman said just on one side. 36 • there are variations. Senior Planner Coleman replied just two additional wall signs. 37 38 Mr. Seth King, Managing Counsel with Lucid Motors, highlighted: 39 • Two ground sign options 40 o wall sign is flush with the building 41 o proposed option is not pie-shaped 42 • Monument Sign 43 o no graphic 44 o back-to-back sign 45 • Other dealership signs were displayed 46 47 Some PDC comments are….. Plan and Design Review Commission Minutes October 21, 2025 - Page 3 Page 6 of 113  1 • Commissioner Kerch asked if: 2 o this is a static sign. Mr. King concurred. 3 o it would not be distracting. Mr. King said it would not. 4 • Chairperson Moore asked if standards would apply with Option 2 lighting the car. Senior Planner 5 Burhop said yes, a variation would be needed for an uplight. 6 • Commissioner Fettner likes Option 1. 7 • Commissioner Henry concurred, and said Option 2 isn’t less distracting. 8 • Commissioner Kerch said the PDC shouldn’t be dictating to Petitioners. 9 • Commissioner Mantis prefers Option 2. 10 • Commissioner Nanus concurred. 11 • Commissioner Ihnchak concurred, and said Option 1 looks like a billboard. 12 • Chairperson Moore is more in favor of Option 1. 13 14 Chairperson Moore asked if anyone in the audience wishes to speak on this matter. There was no one. 15 16 Commissioner Kerch moved to approve the sign package Amendment with the signage as Option 1 as 17 presented. Commissioner Fettner seconded the motion. 18 19 Commissioner Nanus said he is not a huge fan of the graphic sign. 20 21 On a roll call vote 22 Voting Yea Chairperson Moore; Commissioners Fettner, Henry, Kerch, & Mantis 23 Voting Nay: Commissioners Ihnchak & Nanus 24 25 Director Fontane declared that the motion passed 5-2. 26 27 4. Public Hearing #PUD-2025-00056 for a Special Use Permit in the Nature of a Concurrent Preliminary & 28 Final Planned Development, Final Plat of Re-subdivision, & Design Review, with Modifications from City 29 Code, for a four-townhome residential unit Development (932 Deerfield Road & 942 Deerfield Road) 30 31 Senior Planner Burhop reviewed the plan: 32 • Project Summary (continued from September 16, 2025, PDC meeting) 33 o 4-unit townhome 34 • Updates 35 • Renderings 36 o street-facing 37 o rear-facing 38 39 Director Fontane noted the windows could be expanded or changed. 40 41 Mr. Alex Malecki, Owner with Stalwart Development, explained they don’t wish to expand the windows, as 42 they aesthetically look better from the inside and are 4% above code regarding energy. 43 44 Some PDC comments are….. 45 • Chairperson Moore asked, and Mr. Malecki said panels for the exterior of the side elevation could be 46 considered. Plan and Design Review Commission Minutes October 21, 2025 - Page 4 Page 7 of 113  1 • Commissioner Nanus asked if the trees are accurate in the renderings. Mr. Malecki said he is unsure. 2 Senior Planner Burhop illustrated that 3 trees are missing from the back and 2 from the front. 3 • Commissioner Mantis asked if they are existing trees. Mr. Malecki said they are new. 4 • Commissioner Moore asked, and Senior Planner Burhop replied they will be 6’ high. 5 6 Councilperson Ross asked what the height would be at maturity. Mr. Malecki is unsure. 7 8 Continued PDC comments are….. 9 • Commissioner Fettner asked if specified trees could be noted if this is approved. Corporation Counsel 10 Martinez said a specific height by a specific date could be added. Director Fontane said there could 11 be an installed size and a maturity size noted. The rate of tree growth can be nebulous. He shared 12 the City Forester can assist in making that happen. 13 • Commissioner Mantis asked if: 14 o trees from the road and sidewalk are different. 15 o Evergreen trees are more appealing than short Boxwoods as shown. 16 17 Senior Planner Burhop said the height from the ground to the building material change is 10.33’. 18 19 • Commissioner Ihnchak said, regarding rear screening, there are 3 Ginkgo trees proposed that could 20 grow up to 80’ (per Google). She noted trees can rise in expense. Leaving it up to the City Forester 21 may be the way to go. 22 • Commissioner Kerch noted the landscape plan shows a lot more. Senior Planner Burhop concurred. 23 24 Chairperson Moore asked if there are audience members wishing to speak on this matter. The following was 25 previously sworn: 26 • Susan Bell thanked the PDC for paying attention to the landscape plan, height of trees, etc. She 27 noted a 20’ Crabapple is being removed. Currently, this looks warehousey. Senior Planner Burhop 28 stated, regarding the plant schedule, they are either 3 caliper inches or 6’ and need to be compliant. 29 30 Commissioner Kerch moved to recommend approval adopting the Findings of Fact with the conditions that 31 the landscape plan comply with City code and the developer confer with City Forester. Commissioner 32 Fettner seconded the motion. 33 34 Comments from the PDC ensued… 35 • Chairperson Moore stated this is a 4-story building. 36 • Commissioner Ihnchak said window modifications haven’t been completely finalized. 37 • Commissioner Henry doesn’t disagree; has an industrial look. 38 • Chairperson Moore said landscaping will help and doesn’t fix a solid blue wall. 39 • Commissioner Kerch shared this isn’t the worst example in Highland Park. 40 • Commissioner Mantis said there are other developments like this that have appropriate windows 41 and are more architecturally-interesting; wish this was more attractive. 42 • Commissioner Nanus said higher shrubs could be added. 43 44 Corporation Counsel Martinez said City Council would rely on the City Forester’s expertise. 45 46 On a roll call vote 47 Voting Yea Chairperson Moore; Commissioners Fettner, Henry, Ihnchak, Kerch, & Mantis Plan and Design Review Commission Minutes October 21, 2025 - Page 5 Page 8 of 113  1 Voting Nay: Nanus 2 3 Director Fontane declared that the motion passed 6-1. 4 5 5. Pre-Application Meeting (793 Laurel Avenue & 1696-1704 McGovern Street) 6 7 Director Fontane shared this is not a complete Application. It is a Public Meeting. 8 9 Senior Planner Burhop reviewed the plan: 10 • Project Summary 11 o separate zoning lots 12 o current RM1A zoning with rezoning to RO 13 o 5-story, 14 units at 793 Laurel Avenue 14 o 5 and 6-story, 21-unit building with 50 onsite parking spaces at 1696-1764 McGovern Street 15 • Neighborhood Context 16 • Zoning Context 17 • Preliminary Relief Review 18 o height relief 19 o lot-coverage request 20 o setbacks 21 • Landscaping 22 • Applicant’s Proposal was highlighted 23 o stepbacks 24 • Public Works & Inclusionary Information is included 25 26 Some PDC comments are….. 27 • Commissioner Henry said a lot is requested. The PDC is kind of walking blind. There is an expectation 28 of a balance with developer’s intentions vs. code restraints. He finds this troubling. 29 • Chairperson Moore explained we shouldn’t zone in a piecemeal manner. She wonders if the zoning 30 is being selected based on the least amount of variations. 31 • Commissioner Mantis said it’s great to see proposals. Context is important. A thought process/vision 32 is needed. 33 • Commissioner Kerch asked: 34 o what the RO district is. Director Fontane said it can allow office uses. 35 o if density and height is attractive for the RO district. Senior Planner Burhop concurred. 36 Director Fontane said what’s proposed is a significant departure. He stated perhaps the rest 37 of the block should be changed to RO and explained that extending B4, B5 would not be 38 appropriate. 39 • Chairperson Moore asked about the differences of RM1A and RO. Director Fontane said Staff would 40 provide this information. 41 • Commissioner Ihnchak asked if this proposal would meet the code in the B4, B5 districts. Director 42 Fontane replied yes. 43 • Commissioner Kerch said this Applicant seems to take the most logical approach. He noted, as one 44 goes toward Green Bay Road, there should be more density and more height. Chairperson Moore 45 added…..or…..as one leaves downtown, buildings should get shorter, etc. 46 Plan and Design Review Commission Minutes October 21, 2025 - Page 6 Page 9 of 113  1 Director Fontane shared, from a land development point of view, the need for that alley has been 2 reviewed many times. The consensus is nothing should happen to the alley. He noted the right-of- 3 way is not owned by the Applicant. 4 5 Other alternatives would be a townhome development. 6 7 • Commissioner Mantis asked if there is a requirement for actual number of units for residential uses 8 and density. Chairperson Moore emphasized smaller number of units in a building could offer larger 9 unit sizes. Director Fontane said unit sizes are not dictated, with the exception of inclusionary units. 10 Financial metrics are also involved. Parking drives a lot in a development. Market segments are 11 reviewed for whom to attract. 12 13 Mr. Michael Ezgur, Attorney with Acosta Ezgur, LLC, said he appreciates Staff and all of the thoughtful 14 discussion. He explained this is a challenging site, vacant for years. The biggest issue is the 20’ steep slope 15 zone/SSZ. They believe this fits in. The front address would be on McGovern Street. The appropriate 16 transition from a nearby 6-story building was explained. This would be consistent with other RO approvals 17 (height, lot coverage). The 4th and 5th floors would be stepped back. Due to the large alley, it provides for 18 vehicular access. In this development, the building is setback, has open space, etc. They don’t think the 19 single-family home between them is a problem. This project would set the context. 20 21 Mr. David Goldman, Founder with Structa LLC, advised he grew up in Highland Park and went to Highland 22 Park High School. Many from this team are Highland Park residents. He shared this site should provide 23 context to its neighboring properties. Staff’s recommendation is it would be a PUD, require relief. Zoning 24 was a starting point. His background has been working in Chicago (built 3,000 units there). This feels like one 25 site; cohesive development. Offices or retail are not intended. This offers home-replacement options (lower 26 maintenance, family flexibility, a home for those who are away in summertime, etc.). Larger units are the 27 trend. More visual representation will be provided. Grade change is over 17’. This is why the east building 28 has 2 step backs. The slope plays a big role in lot coverage. Several of the utility poles at the corner make it 29 difficult for trucks, etc. to navigate. These utilities will be placed underground and upgraded. The PDC’s 30 feedback is critical, as they want to be successful at this site. Perhaps a different zoning makes better sense; 31 would like to maximize what is on these lots. This is downtown, close to amenities, etc. They would like to 32 unlock this opportunity. 33 34 Some PDC comments are….. 35 • Chairperson Moore is concerned about the overall ask (stories, lot coverage, inclusionary units). 36 • Commissioner Kerch said most of the relief is justified. Setbacks and open space are important. A 37 substantial public benefit must be commensurate with relief. 38 39 Mr. Goldman noted this is a large complex site. They are trying to create a viable project. 40 41 • Commissioner Mantis said there could be smaller units and more of them. There’s a walkable 42 element; would like to see this feed the community. 43 44 Mr. Goldman replied they are well below the maximum-allowable density. He indicated supply 45 brings the prices down. 46 47 Chairperson Moore asked if there are audience members wishing to speak on this matter. There was no one.

He shared the 5 City Manager suggested dinner be provided to the PDC before a future meeting due to all the hard work, 6 Special Meetings the PDC has been involved in. 7 8 Councilperson Ross disclosed she knew the architect who spoke earlier years ago and decided to say hello. 9 Her allegiance is to City Council. She suggested contextual photos be requested from the developer. 10 11 Councilperson Ross asked why the Lucid sign wouldn’t go to City Council. Director Fontane said the PDC has 12 the authority for sign packages. She respects the choice the PDC made. 13 14 Councilperson Ross endorses dinner for the PDC. 15 16 2.

Plan and Design Review Commission Minutes October 21, 2025 - Page 8 Page 11 of 113  MEMORANDUM – PLAN & DESIGN COMMISSION TO: Plan and Design Commission (“Commission”) FROM: Community Development Department DATE: for the November 4th, 2025 Commission meeting RE: DES-2025-00081 Design Review & Sign Package Amendment with Variations from the City Code (10 Skokie Valley Rd.) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommend the Commission carefully review the submitted materials and discuss the proposed design changes. A Cert. of Approval is included as Attachment 6 that adopts the Design Review and Sign Package Amendment as proposed 1. Project Summary: Ryan Razowsky (the “Applicant”), acting as an agent for RDK Ventures LLC (the “Property Owner”), proposes new design features and signage at 10 Skokie Valley Rd. (the “Property”). The Applicant proposes the following changes: 1. Repaint the exterior of the convenience store and car wash to match the Rmarts branding. 2. Replace the existing ‘V-Power’ panel on the fuel main ID sign with matching additional pricing digits that note fuel price ‘W/ Car Wash’. 3. Replace the existing sign noting ‘Food Mart’ at the front of the convenience store with illuminated ‘Rmarts’ sign. 4. Add a static non-illuminated ‘Rmarts’ sign to the back entrance of the convenience store. 5. Replace the existing ‘Car Wash’ sign on the east facing façade of the car wash with an illuminated red sign ‘Car Wash’. 6. Replace the existing ‘Car Wash’ sign on the north facing façade of the building with an illuminated faux neon sign- ‘Everybody Loves A Clean Car’. 7. Add a new illuminated sign to the existing car wash entrance arch- ‘Keep Er’ Clean’. The site is one tax parcel with frontage on Skokie Valley Road & Lake Cook Road, and is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of the aforementioned roads. The site is an existing gasoline fuel station currently dressed with the “Shell” branding and has a carwash on the back of the Property. The proposed amendment to the sign package would now include signage that showcases a new branding, which will be “Rmarts” Commission Consideration: 1 Cert. of Approvals are provided for Design Review and Sign applications and are not a recommendation by staff. The Commission may approve, approve with conditions, continue an item for more information, or deny the request. Page 12 of 113   The following considerations are before the Commission: 1. Design Review for the proposed improvements, including design, materials, landscaping, layout, and exterior lighting – see Attachment 2. a. A request to repaint portions of the property to reflect new branding. b. New painting / color scheme 2. Sign Package. a. A new digital sign panel for the ground sign at the southeast corner of the property at the street intersection for gas and car wash pricing information. i. Note – there is signage there now. b. 3 new wall signs on the convenience building. i. There is existing signage at the front entrance but the wall sign on the back is new (though allowed in the original sign package). ii. Applicant should verify on the renderings the proposed sign on the north side facing the east (behind the ice machine). c. 3 new wall signs on the car wash façade. i. There is existing signage at each of these locations now. d. Two new signs at two existing pole mounts leading to the car wash. i. These signs are on existing pole mounts but the signs are new. Existing Sign Package The existing sign package for the property was approved on 8/16/16 by the then Design Review Commission. The package encompasses the entirety of the signage that is currently on site. The sign package has not been modified since its original approval. It is worth noting that the original sign package does have a digital sign included. The existing Sign Package is included in Attachment 5 Proposed Sign Package The proposed sign package is included in Attachment 3. The proposed sign package will replace the following signage: • 2 existing wall signs on the central food mart, the car wash sign, the exit sign on the car wash, and the entrance sign, for five total. The two existing canopy signage will remain. o Therefore, the total number of wall signs will increase from 7 to 8. • For the ground signage, the existing ground-mounted sign at the southeast corner will remain the same size but is swapping in the gas plus carwash price sign to an existing signage area.. • The applicant also proposes 2 additional ground signs in the area of the car wash; note the poles are already installed but the signage is new. o The total amount of ground signs will thus, increase from 2 to 3 total signs. • In total, the sign package will account for 11 total signs. Total Wall Sign Area  Existing Total Sign Area: 146.4 Sq. Ft.  Proposed Total Sign Area: 154.3 Sq. Ft.  AMENDMENT: +7.9 Sq. Ft in total sign area Page2 13 of 113 NOTE: Sign Code Sec 150.2025 allows for 15% of the horizontal area or 125 Sq. Ft, whichever is the lesser. In this case 125 Sq. Ft. would be the maximum allowed. This context is provided by way of comparison as to what would be allowed ‘by-right’. Total Ground Sign Area  Existing Total Sign Area: 133.5 Sq. Ft  Proposed Total Sign Area: 192.2 Sq. Ft.  AMENDMENT: +58.7 Sq. Ft. in total sign area. NOTE: Sign Code Sec 150.2025 allows for 75 Sq. Ft per sign. If the property were to have multiple frontages then a sign would be allowed per frontage. The property at 10 Skokie Valley Road has two frontages, however the two new ground signs are placed at the western side of the property near the car wash. The proposed sign package also includes an additional digital LED reader board sign face to replace an existing sign face on the existing pole sign. The previous iteration of the sign package did allow installation of (1) of these sign faces in its original approval. The total number of digital sign faces would go from 1 to 2 if the proposed sign package amendment is approved.

It was once RVI ( Retail Visual Identification) and it is no RVIe ( Retail Visual Identification, Evolution). The above referenced location would like to upgrade to the new RVIe standard for Shell. They want to make sure the meet the specification of the Shell standard. Canopy We are proposing removing the existing channel letters on the canopy that spell out Shell and replacing them with a logo instead that decreases the current amount of square footage. We will be changing the fascia of the canopy to reflect the Shell and Circle K canopy color pattern of White, Yellow, and then reattaching the existing illuminated Red bar that is currently on the canopy. The canopy structure will remain as is, we will simply be changing the signage that is currently on the canopy now. Freestanding Sian: We will be changing the faces on the freestanding sign that our currently on the property, while maintaining the structure as is and reusing the existing cabinets that are currently on the sign. Buildina Sians: On the building we will be removing the Food Mart sign and replacing it with a new one that meets Shell specifications. We will remove the old building fascia of Red on the Right and Yellow on the Left to reflect the new Shell image of Yellow on top and Red on the bottom. We are hoping that these minor changes will be allowed and if there is anything that is not compliant with code regulations in Highland Park please let me know and I will get with my client so we can make sure we are in compliance. Following is the proposed changes along with examples of what these changes will look like. 5563 N Elston Chicago, IL 60630 P/ 773. 763. 9600 F/ 773. 763. 9606 Page 52 of 113 CIRCLE K 1 6808 1 HIGHLAND PARK, IL I FOOD MART PROPOSAL PGI/ 3 EXISTING w L 73 IIIIQdldOlAl C . 30 CUSTOMER LOCATION DRAWN BY REVISION CORPORATE SOLUTIONS CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE CORPORATE MN 01 6663NElston Ave Hlghlantl Pan.

The station at 2135 Green Bay Road ( on the north end of downtown Highland Park) updated its signs in 2014 and now two other stations are proposing similar upgrades: 10 Skokie Valley Road and 1411 Park Avenue West ( the northeast corner of Highway 41 and Park Avenue). The Shell station at 10 Skokie Valley Road is at the northwest corner of the Lake Cook and Skokie Valley Road intersection. The existing signs on the property have been in place for many years. The most recent upgrade was the electronic reader board for gasoline prices in 2006. Now the owner is requesting approval for a new sign package for the property to accommodate all the signs associated with Shell' s new branding standards. Gas stations have unique sign needs because of the layout of structures on the property. The gas station canopy over the pumps provides sign opportunities, as well as the convenience store and outbuildings such as the car wash. The Sign Code' s typical regulations allowing one wall sign or one canopy sign and a window sign for each use are poorly equipped to address this type of development. The Sign Package Pale 1 Page 59Pg,' Packet of 113 60  4. A. 3:. REQUEST FOR PLAN AND DESIGN COMMISSION ACTION offers the best opportunity for commercial properties with multiple buildings to propose a unified sign plan unique to their layout. Proposed Sign Package The sign plan for the Shell Station at 10 Skokie Valley Road proposes to replace all the existing signs. No new signs are proposed. Wall Signs o " Food Mart" wall sign on the front of the convenience store is being replaced with a newer version. The size is 23. 2 square feet, which is within the 15% size limit on the front facade of the building. o Three " Car Wash" signs are being replaced on the car wash. There is one sign at either end of the car wash and one on the front wall facing Skokie Valley Road. The signs are non -illuminated and 23. 2 square feet apiece ( about 2. 5' x 9') o Two Shell " Pecten" signs ( see Figure 1) on the gas pump canopy. The Pectens are replacing Shell lettering and have a smaller sign area than the lettering. Figure 1: Shell Pecten r— Ground Sign o The existing 18' 10" ground sign will remain on the property. It has interior illumination, which is permitted in the B3 — Highway Commercial zoning district. o The orange LED reader board for gasoline prices will be replaced with a new red LED unit and a new sign panel will be added to the sign for Shell V -Power gasoline. o The pole sign was approved in 2006 and is considered legal non -conforming. Pole signs are not permitted; ground signs must be monument - style signs with solid foundations / sign bases. Ground signs are limited to 15 feet in height in this district Sign faces are limited to 75 square feet in area. The sign face is increasing to 100 square feet, a 30% increase from existing conditions. NOTES: The Sign Code establishes regulations for Canopy Signs, but the regulations contemplate a fabric canopy connected to a building and extending out over a sidewalk. For instance, all signs are limited to the valance of a canopy, may not extend out past the canopy' s surface, and lettering is limited to nine inches in height. As a result, the regulations for wall signs are applied to the Shell signs on the gas pump canopy. The red bar will be illuminated on three sides of the canopy. This is consistent with other gas station canopies, including the Thornton' s gas station on the opposite side of Skokie Valley Road from this Shell station. SIGN RELIEF REQUESTED IN SIGN PACKAGE An applicant may request variations to the Sign Code as part of a sign package. The Shell Station at 10 Skokie Valley Road is requesting the following variations: 1) Height for a ground sign a. The height limit is 15 feet b. The existing legal non -conforming sign is 18' 10". Page 60 Packet Pg.of 61 113 I 1  4. X1 REQUEST FOR PLAN AND DESIGN COMMISSION ACTION 2) Sign Area for the Ground Sign a. The area limit is 75 square feet b. The proposed sign will have 100 square feet, or 30% more than permitted by right 3) Allowing a Pole Sign instead of a conforming monument -style sign 4) Quantity of Wall Signs a. One wall sign is permitted by Article 20, the Sign Code b. Six wall signs are proposed i. One on the gas station ii. Three on the car wash iii. Two on the Canopy iv. Note all the signs currently exist and were approved by the Design Review Commission prior to the adoption of the current sign code. SIGN PACKAGE APPROVAL PROCESS A sign package is processed as a type of sign variation and the Plan & Design Commission has full approval authority for sign variations. However, sign packages have strict standards for eligibility. Per 150. 2030( B)( 2), an applicant may request a voluntary review of a sign package for the following: i) any property containing more than one building for which an application has been submitted requesting approval of more than one sign on that property; ii) any property that has frontage along two or more streets for which an application has been submitted requesting approval of more than one sign on that property; and iii) any multiple tenant building for which an application has been submitted requesting approval of more than one sign on that building. The Shell station' s request satisfies standard ( i) above: the property contains multiple buildings ( car wash, convenience store, gas pump canopy) and the sign request is for six signs. The Plan & Design Commission can approve a sign package by a simple majority vote based on an evaluation of the standards identified below: Sign Package Standards Section 2030 of the Sign Code discusses Sign Packages. The following subsection outlines the standards that apply to them: Section 2030( D) Standards. No Sign package shall be approved by the Design Review Commission unless the Design Review Commission shall find that the Sign package incorporates Signage that is: i. Unified and consistent throughout the building or property; and ii. Of a higher quality than would be otherwise required under the applicable Sign regulations; and iii. Compatible with the design and materials of the building or buildings, and consistent with the area surrounding the building or property. SIGN PACKAGE REQUIREMENTS The Sign Code requires the following information for a Sign Package: Section 2030( C) Contents of Sign Package. An application for approval of a Sign package shall include details regarding the design and location of all proposed Signs for which a Sign permit is required. The Sign package shall clearly define the areas of the building or property for which approval of a Sign package is requested. At a minimum, the following details shall be provided in the application submittal for approval of a Sign package: 17a,-4, 13., Page 61Pg., Papket. of 62 113,  I 4. A.3 REQUEST FOR PLAN AND DESIGN COMMISSION ACTION 1. Sim design, material( s), anchorage, and support( s) The proposed sign package includes plans showing specific sign design and material specifications. The cabinetfor the existing ground sign will be reusedfor the proposed ground sign and new wall signs will consist ofACMfascia and LED -illuminated signs mounted to the existing canopy over the gasoline dispensers on the site. 2. Sign location( s) The sign package identifies the locations of all proposed signs on the property. Importantly, no locations will be changing from the existing conditions. Only the sign design and content will be updated. 3. Sign color( s) The proposed sign package regulates the color of the proposed signage based on Shell corporate image standards. 4. Sign dimensions The dimensions of individual signs are shown on the plans. 5. Method of illumination Both the ground sign and the wall signs on the canopy are proposed to be internally illuminated. Internal illumination is permitted in the B3 —Highway Commercial zoning district. RECOMMENDATION: The Department of Community Development recommends that the Plan and Design Commission discuss the proposed sign package per the standards identified above. The Commission can approve the proposal, deny it, or recommend changes and continue the discussion to a fixture meeting. If the Commission approves the request, a Certificate of Design Review Approval will be drafted that identifies the plans for the proposed sign package. All building permits issued for the signs will be reviewed for conformance to the approved plans. Documents Attached: Sign Summary Sign plan Packet62 Page of 63.

Page4 82 of 113 To: Plan and Design Commission - City of Highland Park Request: Request for Planned Development Review Property: Ravinia Elementary School 763 Dean Avenue Highland Park, IL 60035 Project Description: The school district proposes an amendment to the previously approved, and in-progress, Planned Unit Development to allow for the expansion of off-street parking facilities. The project seeks to address parking demands generated by existing use within the PUD and to improve overall off-street parking capacity. The original PUD application included off-street parking for 52 stalls with approval for future expansion of 11 additional stalls for a total of 63 stalls. The immediate proposal (Phase II) is to construct an additional 15 stalls on the south end of the property with future expansion provisions (Phase III) of up to 16 an additional stalls. The proposed amendment includes the construction of additional off-street parking spaces within the existing development boundaries, reconfiguration of certain drive aisles, and minor adjustments to landscaping to accommodate the new layout. The design will comply with applicable zoning and development standards, including requirements for accessible spaces, screening, stormwater management, and landscaping buffers. No changes are proposed to the approved building footprints, land uses, or density of the development. The amendment is limited in scope to the expansion of parking capacity and associated site improvements, with the intent of minimizing impacts on adjacent properties and the surrounding community. This modification is consistent with the intent of the original PUD approval and enhances the overall functionality of the site by ensuring adequate parking to serve visitors and employees. Timeline: The project will begin and complete as soon as possible and as weather and material supply permits.
