Case 2023-31P – Site Plan Approval: 5202-5250 Old Orchard Road
Zeller OOT, LLC, on behalf of GW Property Group, LLC, requests to modify an existing site
plan approval for a planned development in an OR Office Research zoning district in order to
convert the 2 existing 7-story office buildings at 5202 and 5250 Old Orchard Road into an
office and 245-unit residential mixed-use development, retain the existing clinic at 5230 Old
Orchard Road, and convert the upper deck of the existing parking garage into a recreational
space for use by the residential tenants, and any relief discovered during the review of this
case.

Developers and contract purchasers, Mitch Goltz, of GW Property Group and Tom Drake, of
The Drake Group presented the case. They are proposing to add new housing stock on Old
Orchard Road by adapting and re-using a mostly vacant office development into a residential
+ limited office development. They commented that the staff report was very thorough and
complete. Current drawings and proposed renderings were displayed. The signage sizes will
stay the same as will some of the ground floor entryways.
# 616289 Plan Commission meeting minutes December 7, 2023
The north and south towers are basically identical with a mix of studio, one, two, and three-
bedroom units. The north tower will have a limited number of residential units on the ground
floor along with offices which have long-term leases. There will be recessed balconies and
some operational windows. They will also be making improvements to the garage adding
new signage and EV charging stations. Guest parking will be located on the ground floor of
the garage as well as outdoor spaces. They spoke of re-purposing the top deck of the
parking garage into recreational and amenities space for a pool, games, yoga, pickleball, and
bocce ball.
Chairman Luke inquired about the mix of office space within a residential building. Mr. Goltz
stated that the upper floors will be secured for the residential units and the ground floor
spaces would be for the commercial uses. No retail spaces are being considered for this
development.
Commissioner Berman asked the total number of spaces in the garage. Mr. Goltz answered
that they have 740 parking spaces available even after the garage roof transformation.
Commissioner Franklin asked if they will be looking to add more office uses in the future.
She questioned if the 1st floor is all commercial. Mr. Goltz responded saying that the north
tower is a combination of 1st floor commercial (longer leaseholds) with some residential. In
the future, both buildings will be totally residential once office leases expire.
Commissioner Mathee noted that they are not required to include any affordable units and
asked about rental rates. Mr. Goltz replied that it would depend on the market but would
approximately be $2.60 to $3.00 per foot. The units would appeal to renters. Community
Development Director Nyden added that the affordable housing ordinance was not approved
by the Village Trustees and therefore the petitioners, although encouraged to include
affordable housing units in the development, they are not compelled to. Commissioner
Mathee concluded that the exception is that they are using an existing structure.
Commissioner Berman inquired if the development group will retain ownership after
construction. Mr. Goltz stated that they would turn over the operation to a professional
building management company while keeping ownership.
Paul Reise, Planning Manager requested that the report be entered into the record as
written. Planning is in support of the project. He pointed out that some of the outdoor parking
spaces at the north end of the north tower were removed to make way for private patios. He
remarked that the generous setbacks and landscaping were a good buffer to neighboring
Wilmette and Glenview. He concluded his overview stating that the current ordinances will be
repealed.
When asked, the applicant had nothing further to add.
(V) RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
A motion was made to approve the request to modify an existing site plan approval for a
planned development in an OR Office Research zoning district in order to convert 2 existing
office buildings (5202 & 5250 Old Orchard Road) into an office + residential mixed-use

deck of the existing garage into recreational space for residents.

(IV) CASE DESCRIPTION
Case 2023-30P – Zoning Chapter Amendment: Co-Working
The Village is requesting an amendment to Section 118, Article II, Article V, Article IX,
Appendix A, and any other related sections of the Skokie Village Code to establish
provisions for co-working as a special use on Retail Streets in the Mixed-Use Zoning District.
Planning Manager, Paul Reise, presented the case. He announced that no changes to
Article V will be made at this time. Adult uses, cannabis dispensaries, etc. will continue to be
regulated by their special use permits.
“Co-working” is a very popular use especially since COVID. The pandemic forced
businesses to change their operations and some companies have adopted a hybrid work
model where people work part-time at home and part-time in an office on a revolving basis.
The use has been interpreted as “office not otherwise listed” in the use table (Appendix A)
and is not permitted in the Retail Streets areas of the Village. Staff believes that the co-
working use needs to be defined better and would have spill-over benefits to the Downtown
businesses much like retail and proposes to regulate the use through the special use permit
process to retain some control over compatibility and parking with surrounding uses.
# 615925 Plan Commission meeting minutes November 16, 2023
Chairman Luke questioned how retailers would know. Staff informed the group that our
Economic Vitality team has been out and about discussing the topic and raising questions.
Commissioner Berman shared that the Commission’s feeling in the past was not to have
this type of use take up space; and retail areas should be kept solely retail.
Commissioner Franklin inquired about the co-working space existing at Old Orchard from
Regus Membership Plan. Staff offered that there was 1 such use in the office tower at Old
Orchard.
Commissioner Ousley stated that times have changed, and improved language is needed to
clarify the use and its relationship to other uses. He also asked if there is an actual demand
for this use or is the Village being forward and pro-active. Staff answered that there is no
specific property or case coming up. Commissioner Mathee inquired if a request is filed,
would it be heard by the Plan Commission.
Commissioner Berman asked staff if there has ever been an office use turned down from
occupying space on a retail street. Other commissioners offered that several uses such as
insurance, real estate, and law offices have occupied storefronts on Oakton Street.
Commissioner Mathee recalled a previous case (2021-28P) which protects downtown
corner locations for restaurant or retail uses only.
(V) RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
A motion was made to approve the request to amend Section 118, Article II, Article IX,
Appendix A, and any other related sections of the Skokie Village Code to establish
provisions for co-working as a special use on Retail Streets in the Mixed-Use Zoning District
with no changes to Article V at this time.

PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL
The petitioner is requesting to modify an existing site plan approval for a planned
development in an OR Office Research zoning district in order to convert the 2 existing
office buildings at 5202 and 5250 Old Orchard Road into an office and 245-unit
residential mixed-use development.
With regards to the request, the petitioner explains that:
The proposed re-development of the existing Old Orchard Towers complex calls for the
adaptive re-use of over 300,000 s.f. of existing, mostly vacant office building into a Class
A residential rental building. The ground floors will be occupied with a mix of
commercial/office and residential uses. The existing 3-story Atrium building, on the east
side of the parking structure, will remain a commercial use. The 5-story parking
structure will continue to serve the parking needs of the development with the top level
being converted to outdoor amenity space for the residential apartments. Vehicular and
pedestrian access to the site and the surrounding landscaping will remain largely intact.
The exterior facade of the buildings will remain intact with the exception of new
recessed balconies and the introduction of operable window units into the glazed wall
assembly. The parking requirement will be reduced from what is currently required for
the commercial office use resulting in a reduction in the number of vehicles accessing
the site from the surrounding streets.
We believe that this would mark the first and largest adaptive reuse of an office complex
into residential uses which is environmentally and socially responsible. We are not
proposing any zoning change, nor do we plan to demolish any building structures nor
add onto the existing buildings.
To make this project economically viable without any public financial assistance (which
we are not seeking), we have not accounted for any designated affordable units within
the development plan.
VOSDOCS-#616006-v1-Staff_Report_-_2023-31P_-_Site_Plan_Approval__5202-5250_Old_Orchard_Road
3 of 10
In summary, the character of the surrounding neighborhood will be little impacted by
the re-development proposal and should benefit from the reduction in parking demand
in the transition from office to residential use.
STAFF ANALYSIS
All pertinent departments and divisions were offered an opportunity to comment on this
case. All departments had no comments, other than the Traffic Engineering Division,
Forestry Division, and Planning Divisions comments below.
Traffic Engineering Division
The Skokie Engineering Division acknowledges that the traffic intensity will decrease
due to the change in use and no Traffic Impact Study is required.
Overall parking requirement is met for the entire site. 740 parking spaces are
provided and 518 are required.
All required guest parking must be accessible to the public at all times.
Due to the existing 6.5 feet vertical clearance of the garage it is recommended to
plan accordingly for tenants who own vehicles that exceed the height restriction.
Large pick-up trucks and vans typically are taller than 6.5 feet.
Pavement markings should be used in the garage to help guide drivers through the
garage. Overhead signage may be used as well. No entry points should be clearly
marked.
Forestry Division
Coordinate with Cook County on parkway trees location along Old Orchard due to
impending roadway improvements scheduled for the next two years.
Regarding the trees on the garage roof, largest container/tree well possible is
required. Specialized lightweight soil is required to maximize health & lifespan of
trees planted.
Use native plants, shrubs, perennials where ever possible. Native plants are
preferred.
Tree protection is required for all existing trees to remain that are located near the
construction area. The protection must remain in place for the duration of the
project.
Planning Division
The Planning Division is supportive of the petitioner’s request for site plan approval.
This proposal will bring more than 300 new residents to the area to support nearby
retail and employment centers at Westfield Old Orchard Mall and Cook County
Courthouse. The generous setbacks and landscaping will screen and provide a buffer
for the residential areas to the north in Glenview and Wilmette. The site plan calls
VOSDOCS-#616006-v1-Staff_Report_-_2023-31P_-_Site_Plan_Approval__5202-5250_Old_Orchard_Road
4 of 10
for reducing the parking from the current conditions by removing parking from the
roof of the parking deck and converting the space into amenity space, including a
pool, putting green, and landscaping. The site is served by the highway interchange
at Old Orchard Road as well as served by the CTA 54A North Cicero/Skokie Blvd.
and Pace 422 Linden CTA-Glenview-Northbrook Court bus routes.
Affordable Housing
The proposed development does not include affordable housing units. The developer
cites challenging market conditions related to interest rates, financing, property
values, and construction costs as the reasons.
Sustainability
The development is re-using a mostly vacant office building. Converting an existing
building into a new use can be more cost-effective than constructing a brand-new
facility. The reuse of structural elements, such as walls and foundations, can
significantly reduce construction costs. This approach also helps to lower carbon
emissions associated with manufacturing new materials and transportation. By
repurposing existing structures, adaptive reuse reduces construction waste and
diverts it from landfills. This contributes to a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions
and supports sustainable development practices.
Other sustainability features include:
• 12 EV charging spaces and 12 EV ready spaces.
• All ranges and washers/dryers will be Energy Star electric appliances.
• Water sense plumbing fixtures.
• Solar Ready Rooftop.
• Bike room available to all commercial and residential tenants
Bird Strike Mitigation
Applicant will comply with the Village’s Bird Strike Mitigation regulations
Staff requests that existing site plan ordinance #10-11-Z-3796 and #15-7-Z-4156 be
repealed.
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
The elevations and relevant documents will be reviewed at a future Appearance
Commission hearing.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request to modify an existing site plan approval
for a planned development in an OR Office Research zoning district in order to convert
the 2 existing office buildings at 5202 and 5250 Old Orchard Road into an office and
240-unit residential mixed-use development, retain the existing clinic at 5230 Old
Orchard Road, and convert the upper deck of the existing parking garage into a
