The motion passes. (III) RULING ON NOTICE Assistant Corporation Counsel Kobylski determined that notices were proper and correct in all cases. (IV) CASE DESCRIPTION Case 2024-22P – Special Use Permit: 9410-A Skokie Boulevard Core BNS Skokie, LLC, on behalf of Scout Veterinary Care Illinois, P.C., requests a special use permit for veterinary services in a B2 Commercial zoning district, and any relief that may be discovered during the review of this case. PINs: 10-16-204-013-0000, 10-16-222-024-0000 and 10-16-222-025-0000 # 621812 Plan Commission meeting minutes September 5, 2024 APPROVED 9/19/2024 Matthew Allee, associate from Akerman LLP law firm, presented the case and introduced Tripp Welge, CEO of Scout Veterinary Care Illinois. They are proposing to open a veterinary services business in a commercial and retail shopping center to treat dogs & cats exhibiting non-life-threatening illnesses. Currently, they have locations in Lincoln Park and the West Loop and are hoping to grow their business in Skokie. Scout plans on operating 7 days a week from 10 AM to 8 PM seeing between 15 to 30 animal clients each day with 5-10 employees (certified technicians, veterinary assistant, veterinarian, and front desk staff). A typical appointment will last between 15-90 minutes. There will be no grooming, boarding, or surgeries. Chairman Luke inquired about how many veterinarians will be on-site. Mr. Welge stated that a state certified veterinarian will be there at all times but if needed, staffing will match the demand. Commissioner Gevaryahu asked about their policy if more services are needed beyond their scope. Mr. Welge stated that they plan on building relationships with local animal hospitals and would refer patients to emergency vets or other area animal hospitals to provide additional medical attention. Staff requested the report be accepted into the record as written and is supportive of the request. The multi-tenant shopping center has 17 businesses with 349 parking spaces. No relief has been requested and no other department had comments on the case The property owner will add a bike rack and accessible parking near the storefront entry. Commissioner Berman inquired of staff if there were any other veterinary practices located within a Village retail plaza with shared parking. Staff stated that there was a recent case where an urgent care animal facility located at 5219 Touhy Avenue (Case 2023-23P). Public Comment Michael Cieslik, resident at 9350 Skokie Boulevard, commented that the shopping mall is in need of better trash management and is concerned with animal waste especially since a restaurant is nearby. Chairman Luke stated that there are veterinary businesses all over Skokie and there hasn’t been any concerns or problems. They are licensed facilities subject to inspections. They must use proper procedures to control the waste materials. Maintenance issues are the responsibility of the property owner and not the applicant. If there is a problem with the mall, call the Village. # 621812 Plan Commission meeting minutes September 5, 2024 APPROVED 9/19/2024 Scott Berman asked about waste disposal measures. Mr. Welge answered that they have medical waste picked up. Their Lincoln Park location shares a wall with a restaurant and there are no problems. Community Development Director Nyden responded that she will make a note to have Property Standards initiate a review of the property. (V) RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING Case 2024-22P A motion was made to approve, as presented, the Special Use Permit request for veterinary services in a B2 Commercial zoning district at 9410-A Skokie Boulevard Motion: S. Berman Second: S. Shpayher Ayes: 7 Nays: 0 (IV) CASE DESCRIPTIONS Case 2024-23P – Zoning Map Amendment: 5135 Golf Road Evam, LLC, requests to amend the zoning map to change the zoning district for 5135 Golf Road from B2 Commercial to NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use. Case 2024-24P – Site Plan Approval- 5135 Golf Road Evam, LLC, requests site plan approval in order to convert an existing 3-story office building that exceeds the maximum 25’ base building height into a mixed- use building with 4 residential units, first floor commercial, and surface parking at 5135 Golf Road in an NV Neighborhood Mixed-Use district, relief from §118- 212(i)(1) to allow continuous curbing less than 6’ from and parallel to any property line adjacent to a street frontage and any other relief that may be discovered during the review of this case. PIN: 10-16-200-045-0000 As both cases are related, they were discussed together but voted on separately. Gavin Sharp and Sara Gensburg of Gensburg Ltd. Architecture Design, presented the cases and introduced the property owner/petitioner, Osman Gorgulu and his wife. They wish to re-zone the property to NX and convert the 3- story vacant office building into a mixed-use building containing a commercial use on the ground floor with 2 residential units on each of the above levels. Each apartment suite would contain 5 bedrooms with private bathrooms in each. # 621812 Plan Commission meeting minutes September 5, 2024 APPROVED 9/19/2024 Ms. Gensburg explained that the family is of Turkish descent and, like many ethnicities, are accustomed to having entire generations living together in a single household. Her biggest challenge was fitting in the parking for the apartments and commercial area. Mr. Scott Berman asked about market conditions for other 5-bedroom apartments nearby. Corporation Counsel cautioned that the commissioners focus on the findings rather than who is being targeted to rent these units. Ms. Gensburg further clarified that her client’s idea was that every bedroom & bathroom is pre-fabricated and modular with a shared living room, dining room and kitchen. Each unit will have an additional full bathroom next to the kitchen. Tali Gevaryahu wanted confirmation of the rental fee. Each apartment would have a $3,000 - $4,000 monthly payment due. Commissioner Shpayher asked about compliance with affordable housing. As this is only a 4-unit building, it is not applicable. Staff requested that the reports be accepted into the record as written. The office building was built in 1968 in a B2 commercial district. The building changed ownership many times and was occupied until 2020. Residential units on upper floors of non-residential uses is not allowed in B2; therefore, changing to NX Mixed-Use would permit an older building to be repurposed and available to commercial & residential uses. Staff is supportive of the re-zoning and recommends approval. According to staff, the unique floor plan and lack of parking are the most concerning issues of this submittal. Twenty-four parking spaces would meet requirements with requested relief for landscape setbacks. However, only 22 spaces are feasible as parked cars in the 2 end spaces would be too close to the corner and cause a site obstruction at Leamington Avenue. The petitioner will be required to pay into the parking fund for the 2 deficient spaces ($15,000 each) because parking relief cannot be requested in a mixed-use district. Closing the 2 access drives on Golf Road would only shift more traffic onto Leamington Avenue as well. Staff recommends denial of the site plan approval request as well as the item of relief. The concept was compared to living in a European hostile. The layout suggests a “dorm-style” living environment for adults rather than a single-family household. There are no closets in the bedrooms & no bathtubs - only walk-in shower stalls. Staff concluded that adults living in these units would be of driving age which would increase parking needs. # 621812 Plan Commission meeting minutes September 5, 2024 APPROVED 9/19/2024 There is also a concern that designing and renting these units for specific ethnic multi-generational families would be against Fair Housing Act practices. The units need to be marketed to the general public and not just to one group. Commissioner Ross Mathee asked if this is a congregate living facility. Mrs. Gorgulu offered that 2 families are living together in their current living arrangement. This is the way that they lived back home. Staff mentioned that the petitioners wished to keep the site as is and not contact MWRD to relocate the existing manholes in the center of the driveway because of construction costs. Civil Engineering will require a determination letter from MWRD advising manhole locations and the requirement of a permit should they need to be moved. A tree removal permit & fee will need to be submitted for the parkway trees which will need to be removed from Leamington Avenue & Golf Road. As this residential living style is not a typical family arrangement, Planning staff is recommending, if approved, a condition be added requiring each unit be inspected annually to ensure that the spaces are being utilized for permitted residential uses and not as dormitory or congregate living. Director Nyden added that the whole property will be inspected. Commissioner Mathee inquired about the number of parking spaces currently on- site. Mr. Sharpe answered there are 20 spaces available. Ms. Erica Minchella asked if the furniture store slated to locate in the commercial space belongs to the applicant. Mr. Gorgulu stated that the furniture company wants a 20-year lease for a showroom only with 4-6 parking spaces. She also commented that if this layout doesn’t work, maybe another one would and was surprised that staff would recommend denial instead of working with the petitioner. Perhaps a change in the number of bedrooms or requiring compact cars would make the difference. Director Nyden advised that adding more requirements is not the answer if it affects the neighborhood too much. As an example, deliveries and guest parking would go to the residential streets. Discussion took place among commissioners: - Commissioner Scott Berman stated that the case is not ready to be reviewed by the Plan Commission and suggested dismissal for more work to be done postponing voting on both cases. # 621812 Plan Commission meeting minutes September 5, 2024 APPROVED 9/19/2024 - Commissioner Shpayher agreed and stated the petitioner should make changes and resubmit. - Commissioner Mathee suggested that the Commission vote on the re-zoning case and defer the site plan approval. - Chairman Luke offered that the petitioners may not want to go forward with the proposal and asked if they wanted some time to think about it. At 8:26 pm a 10-minute break was announced. The hearing resumed at 8:36 pm at which time Director Nyden suggested to move on to public comments. Public Comments Jennifer Seymour, 38-year resident at 9520 Leamington spoke of the added impact to heavy traffic with closing off access from Golf Road. Parking will also be affected and will spill over to an already very tight Leamington Avenue. She also inquired why there was no traffic study done. Ms. Seymour had concerns on how trucks would be getting through; where trash enclosures would be located; hours of operation for the furniture store; 5 bedrooms could mean 20-50 people (tenants, employees & customers); and children possibly playing in the parking lot. Mitch Selig, commented on the safety concerns with small kids & teenagers living on Leamington and the busy Golf Road traffic not being able to stop in time for turning cars on Leamington. As a carpenter by trade, he was questioning the plans and wanted to know if the builder has a history in Skokie. Director Nyden answered that the project will need permits and undergo inspections. He can submit a FOIA request for more details on the builder’s history. Michael Klozotsky, 9509 Leamington, questioned if this was a Fair Housing issue; creating a private living arrangement targeting a particular group and boxing out people. He is in favor of mixed-use rather than leaving a property vacant but this plan will cause traffic accidents. Karen Ruiz, 9535 Leamington, has lived in the neighborhood since 1992 and talked of the building being up on stilts with parking underneath was the only way to solve the parking problem. Taking away the driveway access on Golf Road is not safe with the heavy traffic. Carlos Ruiz, 9535 Leamington, is a retired city planner. In his opinion, after reviewing the plans, this proposed use doesn’t appear to be designed as family living for related people. The 2 driveways on Golf Road should remain and Planning should table the zoning change until a suitable use is found since staff has recommended denial of the site plan request. # 621812 Plan Commission meeting minutes September 5, 2024 APPROVED 9/19/2024 Chairman Luke asked the petitioners, after hearing the public comments, their thoughts. Mr. Gorgulu explained their family’s lifestyle. He does not want to change the project. He bought the building 3 years ago for $300,000 as commercial property. He has been working on this project for 1 year. Older family members do not drive. Chairman Luke mentioned that he could change the layout or reduce to 3 bedrooms & bathrooms and then come back with a new design for staff to look at. Mr. Gorgulu is willing to come back and said if he cannot do it then he must sell the building. Director Nyden confirmed that these cases regarding 5135 Golf Road be tabled until the October 17, 2024 Plan Commission meeting. Commissioner Berman wondered if a new public notice will be needed. Director Nyden stated that the information will be on the Village’s website and if there are any questions, please call the Village of Skokie. (V) RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING Case 2024-23P A motion was made to table the request to amend the zoning map to change the zoning district for 5135 Golf Road from B2 Commercial to NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use to the October 17, 2024 meeting. Motion: T. Gevaryahu Second: C. Franklin Ayes: 7 Nays: 0 Case 2024-24P A motion was made to table the request for site plan approval to convert an existing 3-story office building that exceeds the maximum 25’ permitted base height into a mixed-use building with 4 residential units, first floor commercial, and surface parking at 5135 Golf Road with relief to allow continuous curbing less than 6’ from and parallel to any property line adjacent to a street frontage to the October 17, 2024 meeting. Motion: S. Berman Second: T. Gevaryahu Ayes: 7 Nays: 0 # 621812 Plan Commission meeting minutes September 5, 2024 APPROVED 9/19/2024 (VI) ITEMS FOR COMMUNICATION The next regularly scheduled meeting will take place on September 19, 2024.

Case 2024-21P – Site Plan Approval: 4801-4999 Old Orchard Center Old Orchard Urban Limited Partnership, an Illinois limited partnership, requests to amend an existing site plan approval for a planned development for multiphase modifications at Westfield Old Orchard shopping center in an R1 Single-Family zoning district, a B1 Service Commercial zoning district and a B4 Regional Mixed-Use Shopping zoning district that includes: 3 621403 DRAFT/NOT APPROVED Phase I- The demolition of the existing retail space at the northwest corner of the shopping center (4963 Old Orchard Center and 4999 Old Orchard Center, Building J) and the construction of a 5- and 7-story mixed-use building in separate masses connected by multiple bridges and common areas, that will contain retail restaurant uses and up to 425 multifamily residential units, and residential amenity space; reconfigured internal driveways; and a new outdoor common area event space; Phase II- The demolition of the existing retail space to the east of Phase I (4999 Old Orchard Center, Building H), the construction of a 7-story mixed-use building that will contain retail and restaurant uses, 250 residential units, residential amenity space, and a parking garage; along with an 8-story mixed-use building that will contain retail and restaurant uses and a 200-key hotel or up to 125 residential units; and reconfigured internal driveways; plus any relief that may be discovered during the review of this case. PINS: 10-09-411-081-0000 and 10-09-411-085-0000 Donna Pugh, a Partner with the law firm Foley & Lardner on behalf of the petitioner started the presentation and stated that the names Westfield Old Orchard, URW might be used interchangeably throughout the presentation. Ms. Pugh explained the ownership of the parcels throughout the Old Orchard property and highlighted which parcels will be focused on both Phase I and Phase II of development. Stephen Fleur, Senior Vice President for Westfield, presented Phase I of the development plan, focusing on the “north mall” section of Old Orchard, north of the Professional Building. Mr. Fleur presented changes in the circulation and traffic patterns within Phase I for both vehicles and pedestrians, with an emphasis on frictionless travel and putting to use the underutilized Orange parking garage. Mr. Fleur thanked Village staff for their assistance and guidance through the process. Justin Pelej, Executive Vice President for Focus, presented examples of similar infill development work projects in the North Shore region, including Fox Valley Mall and Hawthorn Mall. Mr. Pelej stated that having apartments and a good mix of tenants at the mall is important, creating a vibrant space with more activity. Mr. Pelej stated that multifamily housing at a mall like Old Orchard provides renters who are seeking a suburban location with the walkability of an urban environment. Mr. Pelej presented on pedestrian and vehicle access and circulation within Phase 1, including a drop-off cul-de-sac. He also presented details regarding the 5- and 7-story residential buildings within the development, including amenities, design standards, and walkability between buildings. 4 621403 DRAFT/NOT APPROVED Vic Howell, Senior Development Manager at Focus, presented on the planned sustainability and resiliency goals for the development, stating that the project is pursuing LEED Gold standards. They are following sustainability initiatives per the Village’s Sustainability Plan and will include amenities such as bike storage, EV charging stations, and the addition of green space to assist with reducing the urban heat island effect. Mr. Howell presented that the Village’s recently passed Inclusionary Housing Ordinance pertaining to Affordable Housing is not applicable to this project due to the date of the development’s submission, but the developer is proposing 3.5% of the housing as affordable to residents earning 60-80% area median income (AMI), creating around 15 units of affordable housing on site. Mr. Howell stated that this will assist in targeting workforce housing residents and young professionals who work in the area. Stephen Fleur presented Phase II of the development, including both residential and hotel buildings east of Phase I. Mr. Fleur spoke on vehicle and pedestrian circulation in and around the site and stated that although a hotel is what the desired goal is for this phase of the development, it is dependent on economics at the time. Mr. Fleur stated that if the hotel is not viable at the time, then that building will be planned as multifamily residential instead. Mr. Fleur stated that the number of affordable residential units for Phase II would remain at 3.5% as well. Commissioner Scott Berman asked about finalized entrance and exits for the proposed parking garages. Mr. Berman also asked if the twenty-foot right-of-way on the proposed internal road within the development would be wide enough to accommodate two cars passing. Kelly Conolly, Transportation Engineer with Sam Schwartz Engineering, presented details on traffic circulation and parking garage access, stating that the design of the future underground parking garages will be finalized once structural plans are complete. The proposed internal road is intentionally narrow for speed reduction and follows the recommended lane widths of 10-11 feet per lane. Commissioner Scott Berman asked if parking in the Orange Garage was limited to residential or will allow for customer retail use. Kelly Conolly answered that only the top floors of the parking garage will be reserved for residential, the remaining will be for retail and hotel use. Justin Pelej stated that they were trying to strike a balance between keeping the street pedestrian friendly and calm with traffic, but they also spent time reviewing this street with the Fire Department too make sure it was adequate for them. Commissioner Jeff Burman asked if the Village’s Bird Strike Mitigations would apply to the taller buildings within the development. Johanna Nyden, Community Development Director, stated that these buildings would need to adhere to current policies for Bird Strike Mitigation, which will come up during permit review. 5 621403 DRAFT/NOT APPROVED Commissioner Gevaryahu asked if the parking at the Orange Garage was for both the north and south buildings of Phase I and how far of a walk is it between the garage and these buildings. Kelly Conolly stated that for Phase I the parking garage will accommodate parking for both the north and south portion. Ms. Conolly stated the distance between the parking garage and the building was approximately 200 feet. Justin Pelej stated that the intent is that the parking spots will be listed adjacent to the units where the resident lives, so that they’re not parking across the development. Commissioner Gevaryahu asked if the retail tenants in the new buildings will be subject to all of the same standards as the other retail tenants in Old Orchard. Stephen Fleur stated the new tenants will have the same standards that Old Orchard currently has. Commissioner Shpayher asked about the location of parking for new businesses as there are many surface parking spaces being removed. Kelly Conolly stated that the Orange Garage is currently about 15% occupied on a December condition and is highly underutilized. Ms. Conolly stated that this garage will continue to accommodate the proposed businesses and accommodate all of the residential in this building. Ms. Conolly stated that it is correct that approximately 400 surface parking spaces will be removed in the area, however there are new parking garages being built to further accommodate the Village’s parking requirement for residential which is one and a half spaces per unit. She also stated that this requirement will probably be too much for the demand that will be generated, so there may be some option to use that for commercial. Commissioner Mathee asked how many of the six floors of the Orange Garage will be dedicated for just residential. Justin Pelej confirmed that the Orange Garage currently has 2,033 spaces and the residential as planned would use 638 of those. Vic Howell stated that the bridges that connect to the residential buildings are on floors three, four, and five, and six so the residential parking will be on sections of those floors. Commissioner Mathee asked if it will be secured via card access on the dedicated floors that will be separate from mall customers. Vic Howell confirmed that there will be separation between public and private parking per floor of the parking garage. Commissioner Scott Berman asked about what will be happening to Barnes & Noble and Cheesecake Factory since the phases look like they will be eliminated. Stephen Fleur verified that Westfield is working with businesses and has a plan for those that may need to be relocated. Commissioner Jeff Burman asked if the applicant could address the traffic issues relative to Old Orchard Road and Lavergne in terms of increased traffic flow and volume. Kelly Conolly stated that the traffic study was completed by Sam Schwartz and reviewed by Village and County staff and contains needed items regarding traffic control, 6 621403 DRAFT/NOT APPROVED pavement markings, and signage recommendations. Ms. Conolly stated that in general the study concludes that residential is not a high traffic generator and it also helps that any retail traffic created would be dispersed over the course of the day. She stated that there will be approximately 300 additional trips in the morning and only generating about 100 additional trips on a Saturday in peak hours of the day, totaling about 5-6% increase for the whole shopping center. Ms. Conolly stated that they were confident that is manageable considering the updates to the circulation and geometric improvements in the area. Chairman Paul Luke asked if some of the residents could enter from the south end at Golf and work their way through the shopping center to park. Kelly Conolly stated that they anticipate that Lavergne will be a key route from the south due to the direct access. Commissioner Shpayher asked if this development affects the high school in any way in terms of traffic or construction. Kelly Conolly stated that the traffic study incorporates the school session. Justin Pelej made a point to clarify that the additional traffic counts that were mentioned a moment ago were based on a Bloomingdale’s that is now closed. Mr. Pelej also stated that Vic and himself met with both of the superintendents for the schools and had positive meetings, concluding that there might be an additional 10-20 children coming from these buildings and were not concerned about transportation. Commissioner Mathee asked about the timelines for Phase I and Phase II. Justin Pelej stated that 27 months would be the intent after approvals, working drawings for permits, and financing. He stated that a reasonable assumption would be a construction start time in the second or third quarter of next year. Mr. Pelej also stated that they would want to execute Phase I and seeing and schedule Phase II since they are two different construction projects. Commissioner Mathee asked if they would finish Phase I before beginning Phase II. Justin Pelej stated Phase I is the first project to focus on. Mike Voitik, Planning Technician, requested that the staff report be accepted as recommended. Staff is supportive of the request based on conditions that include current site plan approval, the repeal of outdated ordinances, and that the 5 items of relief from previous approvals be carried over and maintained. Mr. Voitik explained that there is sufficient parking to accommodate the updated uses. He also stated that the Appearance Commission would be reviewing this case at the earliest date of August 28, 2024. Mr. Voitik presented staff’s recommended conditions for the development. Chairman Luke asked about the timeframe of the stoplight at Lavergne Avenue and the west access to the development (Editor’s note: staff’s previous comment was mistakenly stated as Lavergne Avenue instead of Lamon Avenue). Johanna Nyden stated that the warrant analysis would be one year after the completion and occupancy of Phase II. 7 621403 DRAFT/NOT APPROVED Commissioner Mathee asked about who will be responsible for maintaining and owning the Orange Garage. Mike Voitik stated that the ownership of the garage will be maintained and owned by the petitioner, Westfield. Commissioner Scott Berman asked about new loading and unloading areas throughout the new sections of the development and if they will be as out in the open as they currently are. Mike Voitik stated that multiple loading zones are shown on the site plan and developer can show details on the project elevation documents. Donna Pugh stated that her staff did not have any further questions or comments for staff. Commissioner Scott Berman asked for clarification for the loading and unloading zones within Phases I and II of the project. Justin Pelej stated that there will be a combination of enclosed and open loading zones at various locations throughout the development and that deliveries are scheduled and controlled. Commissioner Mathee asked if the loading and unloading zones include residential move-ins and outs. Justin Pelej stated that those movements will be scheduled as well. (V) PUBLIC COMMENT Kathy White, a resident at 5001 Golf Road, the first house southwest of Old Orchard. Ms. White stated that she was pleased with the changes thus far, but had concerns regarding drainage as there has been increased flooding in the area. Ms. White also had concerns about the financials for the project as well as affordable housing, stating that this project should maximize affordable housing within the development. C. Stelic, a Skokie resident, who lives on Bronx Avenue on the other side of the development and has concerns with the pedestrian safety and bicycle safety as some of the roads are main throughways for kids to get to the high school. Ms. Stelic also shared concerns about how to exit her neighborhood with the new traffic patterns and parking at the nearby park where the pickleball courts are. Sarah Gen, a business owner at Old Orchard, stated that she has concerns over where her business will be relocated at the mall as her business is currently part of Phase I. Ms. Gen stated that her business books far in advance and she has not been spoken to about the future of her business. 8 621403 DRAFT/NOT APPROVED Don Bell, a business owner at Old Orchard, asked if there was going to be any improvements to the Professional Building or the rest of the mall. Mr. Bell also asked if the 1% sales tax will be going away because his customers try to avoid paying it. Gail Schecter, on behalf of Skokie Neighbors for Housing Justice, stated that she’s pleased with the mixed-use project and thanked Mr. Fleur for meeting and listening to her group. Ms. Schechter asked the developer to consider permanent affordability so those units don’t expire as well as increasing the number of affordable units. Ms. Schechter stated that during the developer’s presentation there was no mention of local workforce and that the terms “young professionals” and “empty nesters” implies that families with children are not permitted to live at the development. Kimberly Polka, a Skokie resident, thanks the developers for including affordable housing and sustainability into the project, but wishes there was more affordable housing. Ms. Polka also shared concerns that residents don’t receive as much time to speak at meetings as the developers. Sue Lobach, Director of Advocacy at Connections for the Homeless, stated that she is happy to see affordable housing included but would like to ask for more; going up to 5%. Ms. Lobach also stated that she thinks that the largest employers in Skokie should be stakeholders in affordable housing as well as they are the ones paying the wages and could perhaps subsidize the rent for their workers in need, particularly the hospital systems. James Johnson, a Trustee for the Village of Skokie, asked the Plan Commission to push Westfield on the issue of affordable housing. Mr. Johnson stated that as a Village Trustee, he is going to be one of the officials receiving the Plan Commission’s recommendations and would like the Commission and the Westfield representatives to know that this redevelopment project will not have his support if Westfield is unwilling to fully comply with the Village’s new Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. Chairman Paul Luke asked Trustee Johnson to save his comments for the Board Meeting. Trustee James Johnson stated that not allowing his comments will be a violation of the Open Meetings Act and strongly advises against doing so. Chairman Luke stated that he believes it is inappropriate. Commissioner Scott Berman stated that in his opinion as a citizen, Trustee Johnson has the right to speak separate from his position. Commissioner Jeff Burman stated that Trustee Johnson is speaking as a Trustee, not a citizen. 9 621403 DRAFT/NOT APPROVED Commissioner Scott Berman referred to Tyler Kobylski, Assistant Corporate Counsel, for a legal opinion because Trustee Johnson has a right to speak as a citizen who happens to be a Trustee. Chairman Luke stated that Trustee Johnson has already identified himself as a Trustee and asked Trustee Johnson to reintroduce himself as a citizen. James Johnson reintroduced himself and stated that the affordability requirements in the Village’s Inclusionary Housing Policy are already low and, in his opinion, should be the bare minimum that Westfield should be considering in terms of affordable housing. Mr. Johnson continued stating that the Village has already done too much to assist Westfield in this development by saying that Old Orchard mall is a “blighted” area even though it is economically successful and has a higher sales tax.

SITE INFORMATION • The site is part of a larger shopping plaza with over 10 other businesses and ample parking. • The site currently contains a mattress store that will be replaced by the proposed veterinary services use. • The subject site is accessible by vehicle from Skokie Boulevard and Foster Street. • Overhead utilities run along the South and West sides of the subject site as well as along the parkway on the south side of Foster Street. VOSDOCS-#621401-v1-Staff_Report_-_2024-22P_-_Special_Use_Permit_9410-A_Skokie_Boulevard 11 Complete Streets  Sidewalks are located on both sides of Skokie Boulevard and Foster Street.  Bicycle parking presently exists between the storefronts at 9448 and 8454 Skokie Boulevard.  The site is directly served by the CTA’s 54A and 97 bus routes on Skokie Boulevard.  The Dempster-Skokie CTA Yellow line station is located 1 mile to the south of the site.  The site is within walking distance of residential neighborhoods, offices, services, hotels, and public parks.  Pedestrian access to the subject site is available from Skokie Boulevard and Foster Street. PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL The petitioner is requesting a special use permit for veterinary services in a B2 Commercial zoning district. The proposed use is part of a larger 1-story 90,578 square foot multi-tenant shopping center building that provides commercial and retail space for 17 businesses. A 349-space surface parking lot provides parking for the entire shopping center. With regards to the proposal, the petitioner explains that: Founded in 2022, Scout Veterinary Care (“Scout” or the “Company”) is a veterinary health platform that was established to provide urgent care and routine wellness services to pets in urban and suburban markets. Scout was created to address a growing and unmet need for veterinary services in an urgent care setting which is currently a $13B unaddressed market opportunity. Comparable to the successful establishment of human urgent care over the past decade or so, the Company fills a crucial gap between veterinary General Practitioner (“GP”) and Emergency Room (“ER”) settings. The combination of Scout’s cost effectiveness, high‐quality care and convenience make it the ideal choice for treating non‐life‐threatening injuries and illnesses that pet owners are all too familiar with, but do not have a solution for today. Scout’s first location is located at 2369 N Lincoln Ave in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago. Scout Veterinary Care expects to have 5-10 employees on any given day and will be open 7 days a week for 10 hours a day. They have communicated that staffing and customer demand will determine operating hours. Their other location in Lincoln Park is open 7 days a week from 10 AM to 8 PM. Scout Veterinary Care will not provide any overnight boarding services and will not be performing any advanced surgeries on-site. Scout’s services only warrant patients to be at the location from 15 to 90 minutes. The proposed floor plans depict 6 examination rooms, a room for X-ray examinations, a shared office space, a doctor’s office, and a larger treatment room with a pharmacy. VOSDOCS-#621401-v1-Staff_Report_-_2024-22P_-_Special_Use_Permit_9410-A_Skokie_Boulevard 12 Additionally, the proposed floor plan includes a waiting room with a reception desk, a break room for employees, multiple storage closets, and two bathrooms. STAFF ANALYSIS & RECOMMENDATION Comments Staff reviews were sent to all pertinent departments. All departments had no comments on the subject case. The petitioner’s proposal to establish a veterinary clinic at 9410-A Skokie Boulevard will bring back activity to a site that has been underserved by previous businesses with low footfall compared to the other businesses in the shopping center. In conjunction with the proposal, the property owner will add an accessible parking space with the portion of the parking lot to the east of the proposed use. The property owner will also install a bike rack within the sidewalk to the north of the 9410-B Skokie Boulevard storefront. Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for a Special Use Permit to establish a Veterinary Services business in a B2 Commercial zoning district be APPROVED, based upon the Proposed Positive Findings of Fact. APPEARANCE COMMISSION Appearance Commission review is not required. ATTACHMENTS 1. Recommended Conditions for 2024-22P 2. Proposed Positive Findings of Fact for 2024-22P 3.

Petitioner Evam, LLC Size of Site 15,338 square feet (0.352 acres) with frontage on Golf Road and Leamington Avenue Existing Zoning & B2 Commercial – vacant multi-tenant office building Land Use Adjacent Zoning & North R1 Single-Family and B2 Commercial – child and youth Land Use services, clinic South R2 Single-Family – detached residences East R2 Single-Family – detached residences West B3 Business – automotive repair facility Comprehensive Plan The site is designated as retail/service employment. PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL The petitioner is requesting to change the zoning district for 5135 Golf Road from B2 Commercial to NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use. The petitioner is rezoning the subject site in conjunction with a request for site plan approval to convert a vacant three-story office building into a mixed-use building containing commercial space on the first floor and four upper-story residences (case 2024-24P). VOSDOCS-#621178-v1-Staff_Report_-_2024-23P_-_Zoning_Map_Amendment__5135_Golf_Road 21 STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Staff has reviewed the submitted material and supports the petitioner’s request. Under the existing B2 zoning, upper-story residences are not permitted over nonresidential uses. The office building has undergone several ownership changes over the past decade and has remained vacant due to difficulty in attracting suitable tenants. The petitioner’s request to rezone the property to NX will provide an opportunity to repurpose an older office building to accommodate commercial and residential uses. There has also been recent interest in many communities to convert existing vacant or underutilized office buildings into residential spaces as more companies are offering their employees the flexibility of working from home. However, these properties are typically not zoned to allow for residential uses. The NX district is intended for commercial areas adjacent to single-family districts that are not adjacent to CX Core Mixed-Use districts, and the building is compatible with uses in R1 and R2 Single-Family residential districts, as recommended per §118-181(b) of the Village Code. The request to rezone to NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use is partially consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s retail/service employment designation for the subject site due to the conversion of the building’s covered ground-level parking lot into a commercial space. Chapter 8 – Land Use, the retail/service employment land use group “includes employment producing area that include sales of merchandise in varying intensities and most service activities.” As of 1946 the subject site was zoned “F” Business. Sometime between 1952 and 1959 the entire property was rezoned to B2 Commercial. Construction of the existing office building was completed in 1968. Review of historic aerial photography indicates that the subject site was undeveloped prior to the construction of the building. Current surrounding uses are listed in the general information at the beginning of this report. Other than the construction of The Lock Up Self-Storage at 5250 Golf Road in 2004, no major improvements have been made to the commercial or residential properties within in the surrounding neighborhood over the past 25 years. Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request to amend the zoning map to change the zoning district for 5135 Golf Road from B2 Commercial to NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use be APPROVED, subject to the attached Proposed Positive Findings of Fact.

PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL The petitioner is requesting site plan approval in order to convert an existing 3-story office building that exceeds the maximum 25’ permitted base building height into a mixed-use building with 4 residential units, first floor commercial, and surface parking at 5135 Golf Road in an NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use district and relief from §118- 212(i)(1) to allow continuous curbing less than 6’ from and parallel to any property line adjacent to a street frontage. With regards to the proposal, the petitioner explains that: In this building, we want to make a furniture store on the first floor, and on the second and third floors, we want to make 4 apartments. Since we are Turkish and most of our community is Turkish…we usually live in big families with many children. Every child has their own private [room] and [bathroom], especially children that are girls. We thought about making a family apartment like this. [And we] believe that it will be easier to find tenants if we do it this way. The company who wants to rent our space on the first floor to make it a furniture company (Zellano Home Furniture), has 2 stores and a big storage space in Chicago. On the first floor of the building, the furniture store will be used as a showroom (For ex: like the IKEA store). There will be sample room furniture there. They will only show the customers the furniture. There will be no furniture storage. Also, this store will not ship any furniture. They made a 20-year contract with us. They want 4, max 6 vehicle parking spaces from us. VOSDOCS-#621222-v1-Staff_Report_-_2024-24P_-_Site_Plan_Approval__5135_Golf_Road 26 … The proposed furniture showroom space on the ground level features a proposed floor-to-ceiling storefront around the perimeter of the building to enclose the space, which is currently an open parking lot. The storefront design is intended to resemble the color and materiality of the existing windows at the upper floors and establish a more appealing exterior façade. A variety of new landscaping and trees are proposed throughout the site to provide a warm, inviting feel and blend with the landscaping of the adjacent single-family residences. These various features are intended to significantly improve the building’s overall curb appeal and attract new customers and residential tenants. … Changes to the traffic flow surrounding the site [are] intended to be minimal. The two existing driveways at the north [side] of the lot are proposed to be removed and replaced with new sidewalks and landscaping. A new driveway is proposed on the east end of the lot along Leamington Avenue which will provide access to a new proposed parking lot at the south end of the existing building. … A primary power line [within] an existing easement at the west half of the property is planned to be removed and relocated. ComEd has granted the property owner permission to enclose the area above the easement and allow the vacating of the easement. Each apartment unit on the second and third floors is designed to be approximately 3,000 square feet in size and with a total of 5 bedrooms. The existing entry core provides access from Golf Road to the residences via two staircases and an elevator. New doors and walkways are proposed to be installed to the east and west of the core, providing access to the commercial space from Golf Road. A new door is proposed to be installed on the south (rear) wall of the first-floor commercial space to provide direct access to the parking lot. Additionally, two bicycle parking spaces will be provided east of the eastern front door. The reconfigured parking lot is designed to be expanded south into the north half of the vacated alley and will contain a total of 24 spaces, including one accessible space. This layout presumes relief is granted from providing continuous curbing less than 6’ from and parallel to any property line adjacent to street frontage. A new 6-foot-tall solid wood fence would be constructed along the full length of the south lot line to provide screening for the residential property to the south. A trash enclosure would be constructed at the west end of the north row of parking spaces. A paved walkway, which will match the grade of the parking lot, would run alongside the rear wall of the building, connecting with the public sidewalk on Leamington Avenue, and wheel stops would provide protection from parked vehicles. The parking lot’s two existing drainage manholes will remain in their current locations. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for site plan approval to convert an existing 3-story office building that exceeds the maximum 25’ permitted base building height into a mixed-use building with 4 residential units, first floor commercial, and surface parking at 5135 Golf Road in an NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use district be DENIED, subject to the attached Negative Findings of Fact. Further, staff does not VOSDOCS-#621222-v1-Staff_Report_-_2024-24P_-_Site_Plan_Approval__5135_Golf_Road 27 recommend that relief be granted from §118-212(i)(1) to allow continuous curbing less than 6’ from and parallel to any property line adjacent to a street frontage. The petitioner’s proposal to convert an existing office building into a mixed-use development is laudable in that it is an efficient and sustainable reuse of office space. However, staff has concerns regarding the intent of the residential units that will be constructed. The proposed 2nd and 3rd floor plans depict each of the unit’s five bedrooms being roughly equal in size (300 to 320 square feet) and containing a full bathroom, with none of the units including a primary bedroom. Each unit also has an additional full bathroom located adjacent to the kitchen. The residences appear to be designed to function as a dormitory or congregate living facility, not as single household units. The site plan and interior configuration of rooms suggests a “dorm-style” living environment with each sleeping room as an en suite arrangement. The bedrooms lack closets and a walk-in shower is provided in each bathroom, but no bathtub. The arrangement of the living spaces suggests that adults may be the intended residents of the rooms and a concern regarding the greater intensity of use of the property has emerged, particularly as it relates to parking. Currently, the parking lot has a capacity of 22 parking spaces. The project is only able to realize the required total number of parking spaces (24) by decreasing the width of the continuous curbing between the east property line and the parking lot. This presents a potential safety hazard for pedestrians on a residential street. The presence of vehicles parked within the easternmost spaces eliminates sight lines and will create increased visual obstructions for traffic exiting from the parking lot onto Leamington Avenue. Staff further believes that given the arrangement of living space, the proposed project may have more occupants that are adults in use of vehicles. The proposed total number of spaces in the parking lot will fall short of being able to accommodate the actual parking demand of the residential occupants, due to the total number of bedrooms being proposed. Over time, it may create additional parking on the residential streets in the neighborhood. The petitioner’s indication that they are designing these units for occupancy by Turkish families also is cause for further concern because the property will need to follow Fair Housing Act practices and the units will need to be available for rent to the general public regardless of family size, race, ethnicity, country of origin, etc. If the site plan approval request is recommended for approval by the Plan Commission, staff recommends that relief not be granted from §118-212(i)(1) to allow continuous curbing less than 6’ from and parallel to any property line adjacent to a street frontage. The curbing will need to be provided at a distance of at least 6’ from the east property line. Consequently, the subject site will have a deficiency of 2 parking spaces and the petitioner will be required to contribute a $15,000 payment to the Village as required by §118-218(b)(7)e.4. of the Village Code. Relief from not providing required off-street motor vehicle parking in the mixed-use districts is not permitted. The payment will be held in a reserve account to provide for the acquisition, erection, construction, or installation of public parking structures or lots within or adjacent to a mixed-use district. VOSDOCS-#621222-v1-Staff_Report_-_2024-24P_-_Site_Plan_Approval__5135_Golf_Road 28 Furthermore, the petitioner shall adhere to all regulations listed in the Recommended Conditions that are attached to the Staff Report. Planning Services staff will require that Village staff inspections of each of the residential units be conducted on an annual basis to ensure that the spaces are being utilized for permitted residential uses and not as dormitory-style housing for adults or as a congregate living facility. Additionally, the petitioner has indicated that they do not intend to relocate the existing manholes into the center of the proposed driveway due to the anticipated construction costs and desire to avoid potential MWRD review. Civil Engineering staff requires that the petitioner obtain a determination letter from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District in order to determine if the manholes can remain in place and if an MWRD permit is required in the instance that they need to be relocated. An IDOT permit will be required for the removal of both of the driveways along Golf Road. A tree removal permit is required for the tree that will be removed within the Leamington Avenue parkway as well as the trees that will be removed along the south side of the subject site. A non-refundable $900 permit fee is required for the removal of the parkway tree. Tree protection fencing is required for all parkway trees during the construction project. The proposed site/landscape plan must be revised to include the protection fencing details.

As a result, the applicant requires relief to place additional parking spaces in areas of the site that jeopardize pedestrian and vehicular safety. Furthermore, staff believes that the total number of parking spaces proposed in the parking lot will fall short of being able to accommodate the actual parking demand of the residential occupants, due to the total number of bedrooms being proposed. Vehicles that are unable to park in the lot will end up parking along Leamington Avenue for day-to-day parking needs rather than having availability for off- street parking needs. This will negatively impact the availability of on-street parking for residences to the east and south of the subject site.

The closure of the two existing driveways on Golf Road and the creation of a new driveway on Leamington Avenue will improve traffic safety by eliminating two access points along Golf Road. Having said that, the substandard width of the continuous curbing between the east property line and the parking lot will allow for vehicles to park closer to the public sidewalk, creating an increased visual obstruction for traffic exiting from the parking lot onto Leamington Avenue, thus presenting a potential safety hazard for pedestrians on a residential street.
