Public Hearings
200309 PC 20-25: 1300 S. Main Street, Suites D and E, Lombard Veterinary
Hospital
The petitioner requests a zoning conditional use pursuant to Sections
155.417(G)(2) of the Lombard Village Code to allow for an animal
hospital and kennel to operate on the subject property located within the
Roosevelt Road Corridor B4A District (DISTRICT #2)
Sworn in to present the petition were: Jennifer Ganser, Assistant
Director; and Greg Ludwig and Georgie Ludwig, the petitioners.
Vice-Chair Flint read the Plan Commission procedures and asked if
anyone other than the petitioner intended to cross examine and,
Village of Lombard Page 1
Plan Commission Minutes October 19, 2020
hearing none, he proceeded with the petition.
Mr. Ludwig presented the petition. He stated that Lombard Veterinary
Hospital has been operating on St. Charles Road since 1959. The St.
Charles Road site sustained damage during a storm event in August
2020. The business is looking to move to a temporary location at 1300
S. Main while repairs are completed on the St. Charles Road building.
Mr. Ludwig noted that the animal hospital has operated on St. Charles
Road without disturbing nearby residents or property owners. The
petitioner will undertake internal renovations at the 1300 S. Main site,
but no significant exterior renovations are planned. There will be some
limited overnight kenneling of animals if they require medical services,
but otherwise boarding of animals will be limited.
Vice-Chair Flint asked if any person would like to speak in favor or
against this petition, or for public comment. Hearing none, he asked
for the staff report.
Vice-Chair Flint asked if staff had received any comment from
members of the public prior to the meeting. Ms. Ganser said no public
comment had been received.
Ms. Ganser presented the staff report, which was submitted to the public
record in its entirety. The petitioner proposes to operate an animal
hospital and kennel in the B4A Roosevelt Road Corridor District. The
subject property is a tenant space in a strip shopping center. The
petitioner, Lombard Veterinary Hospital, is proposing to use the space
for a temporary location while they complete reconstruction efforts on
their permanent location at 244 E. St. Charles Road, which sustained
major damage during a storm in August 2020.
Staff has reviewed the petitioner’s request and finds the proposed
animal hospital and kennel will not create any undue impacts on
neighboring properties. There are other veterinary hospitals in similar
business districts within the Village, and the petitioner will make interior
improvements designed to minimize impacts to other tenants in the
building. The petitioner may fence in a grassy area to the south of the
building to provide a space for dogs to be walked while attended by an
employee or pet owner. The fencing will meet fencing provisions in
Village Code and will require a permit. Staff supports the requested
conditional use.

Plan Commission Minutes October 19, 2020
Vice-Chair Flint asked if there were any questions of the staff report.
Hearing none, he opened the meeting for comments among the
Commissioners.
On a motion by Commissioner Sweetser, and a second by Commissioner
Burke, the Plan Commission voted 6-0 to recommend that the Village Board
approve the petition associated with PC 20-25, subject to the following five (5)
conditions:
1. That the petitioner shall develop the site in accordance with plans
submitted as part of this request;
2. That the petitioner shall make the following improvements to the tenant
space, as noted in this report:
a. Tenant separation walls shall have sound batting installed between this
space and adjoining tenant spaces;
b. Air sealing of the tenant separation walls (top and bottom of walls);
c. Adjustment of the outside air dampers for the rooftop HVAC units to have
this proposed space be negative air pressure to pull air from the space and
exhaust it out of the roof rather than positive air pressure that could push
smells into other adjoining spaces;
3. That any fencing installed in the grassy area to the south of the tenant
space shall meet Village Code provisions for fencing;
4. That the petitioner shall satisfactorily address all comments noted within
the Inter-Departmental Review Committee Report; and
This relief shall be valid for a period of one year from the date of approval of
the ordinance. If the animal day care facility and animal hospital and kennel
are not established by said date, this relief shall be deemed null and void
The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 6- Martin Burke, Ruth Sweetser, Stephen Flint, Leigh Giuliano, Bill Johnston,
and Kevin Walker
200308 PC 20-24: 980 N. DuPage Avenue, Gregory Boxing DuPage
Your Plan Commission transmits for your consideration its approval
recommendation regarding the above-referenced petition. The petitioner
requests a zoning conditional use pursuant to Section 155.420(C)(18) of
the Lombard Village Code to allow for a learning center/athletic training
center to operate on the subject property located within the Industrial
District. The petitioner requests a waiver of first reading. (DISTRICT #1)
Sworn in to present the petition were: Jennifer Ganser, Assistant
Director of Community Development; and Joe Phalen, the petitioner.
Vice-Chair Flint read the Plan Commission procedures and asked if
anyone other than the petitioner intended to cross examine and,
Village of Lombard Page 3
Plan Commission Minutes October 19, 2020
hearing none, he proceeded with the petition.
Mr. Phalen stated that he is applying for a conditional use to open an
athletic training center. He noted that he already owns another gym in
Des Plaines. This would be a second location. Mr. Phalen summarized
Wayne Gregory and his partners’ credentials and philosophy of
training.
Vice-Chair Flint asked if any person would like to speak in favor or
against this petition, or for public comment. Hearing none, he asked
for the staff report.
Ms. Ganser presented the staff report, which was submitted to the public
record in its entirety. The petitioner proposes to operate an athletic
training facility for boxing in the Limited Industrial Zoning District. The
business would be considered a learning center which is listed as a
conditional use. Staff has reviewed the petition and does not believe
the proposed use will create any undue impacts on neighboring
properties. The learning center is similar to other learning centers that
have been approved in the Industrial district. Staff finds the petition
meets the standards for conditional uses and recommends approval of
the petition.
Vice-Chair Flint asked if staff had received any comment from
members of the public prior to the meeting. Ms. Ganser said no public
comment had been received.
Vice-Chair Flint opened the meeting for comments among the
Commissioners.
Commissioner Burke said he had no comments and supports the
petition.
Commissioner Sweetser noted that according to the materials
submitted that there will be classes at 4:30 pm for children and
requested the end time of the class and how many participates and if
there will be difference in operation when COVID is over. Mr. Phalen
responded that the club is private and open to all that are interested,
and the application process involves a one on one interview with a
coach. All participants have their temperatures checked upon entering
the facility and the activities involved are inherently six feet or more
apart. The training space is approximately 4200 square feet which
allows for 15 trainees.

conditions:
1. The conditional use permit for a learning center/indoor athletic training

use;
2. All business activity associated with the indoor athletic facility shall be
conducted within the existing building;
3. The petitioner shall satisfactorily address all comments noted within the
Inter-Departmental Review Committee Report;
4. This relief shall be valid for a period of one year from the date of approval

200299 PC 20-23: 150 E. Roosevelt Rd, Smoothie King
The petitioner requests an amendment to Ordinance 4088 to reinstate a
conditional use for an existing drive-through at 150 E. Roosevelt Road on
the subject property located within the Roosevelt Road Corridor B4A
District. The subject property is the vacant Boston Market and the new
tenant, Smoothie King, would like to use the drive-through. As the
drive-through has not been in operation for over one (1) year, zoning
entitlements are required (DISTRICT #6)
Sworn in to present the petition were, Faisal Raja the petitioners, and
Jennifer Ganser, Assistant Director.
Pursuant to Governor Pritzker’s Executive Order 2020-07, as extended
by Executive Orders 2020-18, 2020-33 and 2020-39, and pursuant to

Ms. Ganser presented the staff report, which was submitted to the public
record in its entirety. She said the subject property is the vacant
Boston Market restaurant and the proposed new tenant, Smoothie
King, would like to utilize the drive-through. As the drive-through has
not been in operation for over one (1) year, zoning entitlements are
required. The function or nature of the drive-through would not change,
and it would operate as it did under Boston Market. Staff supports the
request.
Vice Chairperson Flint asked if there were questions on the staff report.

Commissioners and asked each Commissioner if they had questions

and the neighboring properties. She said Northern Baptist moved in
2017 and the buildings are vacant and boarded up. She said the site
has development challenges such as a deep and narrow lot, and the
minimal frontage on Butterfield Road. She said the wetland will stay as
is. The pond is on the most valuable site and will need to be filled in.
Detention will be provided for elsewhere. She reviewed the proposed
lots.

storage facility. He discussed the Golf Social Lighting which will be LED
directed downward. He said additional lanes on Butterfield Road may
be required from IDOT and that should not affect their plans. They have
no objections to the limited access of the first driveway into lot 1. They
plan on submitting documents to IDOT soon.
Mr. Heitman said he is the project architect. He discussed the different
styles of Moretti’s and Golf Social and said they are a complementary
contrast. He discussed the landscaping, elevations, netting, and interior
floor plans.
Ms. LaSota said the detention will be beneath the Golf Social range and
that includes detention for a future development of lot 4. She discussed
the signage variances and noted that their project has multiple uses and
limited frontage on Butterfield Road. She discussed the informational
