presented. Staff is in support of the petitioner’s request for a special use permit.

and a pro shop offering pickleball accessories for purchase. As the facility will
share the site with XSport Fitness, there is sufficient parking. A garbage corral
will be located on the west side.
Emmanuel Byarm, attorney from Shain Banks, along with Hillary Gelfman and
Ken Rice, business owners, provided an overview of their request and
represented that the use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, compatible
with other area uses, and will not create any traffic issues.
The business owners wish to repurpose a single-story warehouse building into
an indoor pickleball facility available for drop-in play, court reservations, lessons
& clinics, tournaments, and private events. They will be open from 7 AM to 10

Mike Voitik, Planning Coordinator, requested the staff report be accepted as
presented and recommends approval. The use will not impact adjacent
properties or the shared parking facilities as customers will be required to
schedule appointments ahead of time for services and completed vehicles will
remain inside the garage until customers retrieve them.
The site and floor plans were displayed showing the 126 parking spaces that
wrap around the building. Existing tenants require 97 spaces while this use will
require 11 spaces more. There is an excess of 18 parking spaces at this site.
As Mike reviewed the staff recommended conditions, it was noted that condition
#2 should be removed per the Fire Dept. as no building permit will be necessary.
The Fire Dept. will do a walk-through with the property owner to determine if a
sprinkler system is required.
Commissioner Scott Berman inquired if there were any complaints from other
tenants or from neighbors.
Anne Junia, attorney representing Pure Fleet and Bob Jovanovic, business
owner added more background information. They featured a short PowerPoint
presentation explaining the vinyl covering that is used on vehicles instead of
paint. It most closely relates to putting a sticker or decal on a car.
This use is a cross-over between car graphics and car detailing. Therefore, it
belongs in the M1 zoning district but no auto repair work will be done. The
previous tenant of this space, SIGNificant Graphics, put forward similar services;
indoor & outdoor signs and vehicle wrapping. A lease for this space was signed
back in August and Mr. Jovanovic is ready to open his doors for business. No
changes are needed to the warehouse space.
The chairman asked if he currently operates at another location. Mr. Jovanovic
stated that he is working on Elston Avenue.
(IV) RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
A motion was made to approve as presented with Condition #2 removed, for a
special use permit for a car customization service facility at 7802 Frontage Road
in the M1 Office Assembly Industry district.

P etitioner’s Subm ittal
The petitioner is proposing the construction of a 3-story, 33’ 2” building that exceeds
the maximum 25’ permitted base building height to contain a religious assembly use
and 17 dormitory units, along with surface parking at 7848 & 7852-7854 Lincoln
Avenue in an NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use district.
With regard to the proposal, the petitioner explains that:
DDMBA Chicago Chapter, a Buddhist organization, is a local chapter of DDMBA (web
address: ddmbachicago.org, a US-based NGO (located in New York State) which aims to
contribute to the well-being of humanity and the planet through its focus areas: youth
leadership, interfaith dialogue, peace building, protecting the natural environment and
VOSDOCS-#623651-v3-Combined_Staff_Report_7852_Lincoln_Avenue

disaster relief. DDMBA, in turn is the US branch of DDM Taiwan. The vision of DDM
Taiwan is to uplift the character of humanity and to build a pure land on earth.
DDMBA Chicago Chapter is a non-profit volunteer organization which derives its
operational funds from public donations. All the board members and chapter members
who operate this organization are volunteers and do not withdraw any funds from
Chicago Chapter. We currently have around 200 members with 10 of them running most
of the programs. DDMBA Chicago Chapter is currently renting a space (about 1500 SF)
at 241 Holbrook Drive, Wheeling, IL 60090. Our current operations include classes and
activities on site as described in the DDMBA Chicago Class spreadsheet, as well as online
classes organized and zoomed by our chapter members and online classes organized
and zoomed by DDMBA. We intend to transition all the online classes to onsite classes
once the meditation/community/culture center is built as Covid-19 is easing and people
are more comfortable with onsite classes and activities. As shown in the DDMBA Chicago
Classes, 2nd revision, all these classes are to be held on weekdays from 5:30 pm to 8:30
pm or weekends from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. These classes include Chan workshop, Book
study, visiting teacher retreats, Tai Chi, Yoga, Dharma instrument, and Abbot visits. The
number of participants for all these classes varies from 5 to 30 with most classes falling
within 10 participants. The Abbot of DDM Taiwan will visit our local chapter once every
two years. During the Abbot visit, we will hold one gathering with 100-150 attendees.
As depicted in the site plan, we will have a total of 11 parking spaces with 9 open
parking spaces, one garage site and one designated for handicapped. We also have
signed a parking rental agreement with the Assyrian National Council of Illinois (7840
Lincoln Ave., Skokie, IL 60077) for their 15 parking spaces. In total, we have 26 parking
spaces at our disposal of. In considering our parking space needs, please also keep in
mind that our current site is accessible by public transportation. Therefore, some of our
participants may come to our site by bus or train. And some of our participants may
come to our site by bicycling. Therefore, the total parking spaces needed should be
eased considerably. As mentioned above, we also anticipate a visit by our Abbot from
DDM Taiwan once every two years. During the Abbot's visit, a gathering with about 100
to 150 participants will be held. This event will be held after working hours or on the
weekend. The parking space need is also described and summarized in the revised
parking study conducted by KLOA.
In our architectural drawing, we have spaces designated as dormitories. However, its
use is only limited to up to 4 times a year (2 nights each time, Friday, and Saturday
night) when we have visiting teacher retreats. Our dormitory is meant for the meditation
participants to stay during a visiting teacher retreat. The essence of meditation during
retreat is to provide a serene environment for meditation participants. This requirement
extends to the time beyond meditation session, i.e. include evening and nighttime. This
is the main reason we opt to provide dormitory spaces for meditation participants.
Please noted that we do have designated space on the third floor for maintenance
equipment storage and laundry in the basement should our retreat participants have
such need. The visiting teacher retreat involves lots of preparation in advance and
concurrent staff support during the session. With our current core volunteer size, we at
most will be able to support 6 retreats a year. We believe that the current 4 retreats a
year will last for a while before we can offer 6 retreats a year. The VIP room as depicted
in architectural drawing is to be used as lodging for the visiting teacher and our Abbot
from Taiwan. This space is also used as a place for the Abbot and visiting teacher to
meet guests and to receive students. We also need to emphasize that we do not hold
VOSDOCS-#623651-v3-Combined_Staff_Report_7852_Lincoln_Avenue
3 of 13
routine religious assembly like Christian church. The Chan workshop, Sunday Chinese
book study, Saturday Chinese book study and visiting teacher retreat are essentially our
religious assemblies.
All the classes and activities offered by DDMBA Chicago Chapter are open to the public.
Most of the classes and activities are free with some having a very modest charge. It is
the intention of DDMBA Chicago Chapter to offer the Dharma teaching, to care and to
serve the community, and to integrate into the community.
The petitioner organized an open meeting with neighboring residents to discuss the
proposed development. The meeting was held at the Skokie Public Library on December
19th, 2024 and served as a platform for the petitioner to present the project details and
engage with the community by addressing any questions or concerns about the
intended uses of the property. The dialogue facilitated a transparent exchange of
information, aimed at fostering understanding and collaboration between the petitioner
and the local community. A total of 8 neighboring residents attended the meeting and
had the opportunity to voice their concerns.
CASE 2024-30P
The petitioner is requesting site plan approval in order to construct a 3-story, 33’ 2” tall
building that exceeds the maximum 25’ permitted base building height. Staff has
identified §118-184(a) which allows for a maximum building height of 45’ under site
plan approval. No items of relief are being requested as part of the subject case.
Staff Analysis and R ecom m endation
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for site plan approval to construct a 3-
story, 33’ 2” tall building along with surface parking at 7848 & 7852-7854 Lincoln
Avenue in an NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use district be APPROVED, subject to the
recommended conditions and attached Proposed Positive Findings of Fact.
As a matter of comparison, nearby building heights are as follows: 7840 Lincoln Avenue
is 30’ 11¼”, Lincoln Junior High located at 7839 Lincoln Avenue is 44’ in height to the
roofline and 57’ to the top of the clocktower, and Wintrust Bank at 7839 Lincoln Avenue
is 35’.
Staff comments to be addressed are as follows:
• Dedication for the alley off of Babb Avenue is required. Village Code Section 94-
6(5)(a) states that alleys shall be 20 ft wide when not in a single-family
residential zoning district. The alley as proposed is 16 feet wide and will require
a 4-foot dedication. Staff requests that the Mylar of the 4-foot dedication be
submitted to the Village upon the passage of the ordinance by the Board of
Trustees.
• Off-site special event parking in Wheeling is not acceptable for meeting the
parking demand of special events. When an Abbot’s visit special event for 100-
150 participants is anticipated, an application for a special event permit shall be
submitted to the Village 90 days before the event and accessory off-street
parking in the Village of Skokie and within 0.5 miles of the event shall be
VOSDOCS-#623651-v3-Combined_Staff_Report_7852_Lincoln_Avenue

secured as a part of this application.
CASE 2024-32P
PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL
The petitioner is requesting a special use permit for religious assembly at 7852 Lincoln
Avenue in an NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use zoning district.
Staff Analysis and R ecom m endation
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for a special use permit for religious
assembly at 7852 Lincoln Avenue in an NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use zoning district be
APPROVED, subject to the attached Positive Findings of Fact.
Five religious assembly uses operate within a ½ mile radius of the subject site and are
as follows: Ethical Humanist Society at 7574 Lincoln Avenue, Devar Emet Messianic
Synagogue at 7800 Niles Avenue, St. Paul Lutheran Church at 5201 Galitz Street, St.
Peter’s United Church of Christ at 8013 Laramie Avenue, and Saints Peter and Lambert
at 8116 Niles Center Road.
CASE 2024-34P
PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL
The petitioner is requesting a special use permit for a dormitory use at 7852 Lincoln
Avenue in an NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use zoning district.
Staff Analysis and R ecom m endation
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for a special use permit for a dormitory
at 7852 Lincoln Avenue in an NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use zoning district be
APPROVED, subject to the attached Positive Findings of Fact.
The petitioner has represented that overnight accommodations are requested for the
purposes of 1) a maximum of six (6) meditation retreats annually for up to 30
participants and 2) to accommodate the Abbot and ancillary staff during a visit
approximately every two (2) years. Village Code §118-32 General definitions provides
that “Dormitory means a rooming or boarding establishment that serves a specific
group or membership, provides temporary accommodations, and may offer
housekeeping, meals, and laundry services” and this use in Appendix A: Use Table most
closely matches the use description provided by the applicant.
CASE 2024-31P and 33P
PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL
The petitioner (DDMBA Chicago Chapter) is requesting a parking determination for a
religious assembly use with an accessory dormitory use at 7852 Lincoln Avenue in an
NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use district. Off-street parking requirements for the uses are
determined by the Plan Commission.
Staff Analysis and R ecom m endation
VOSDOCS-#623651-v3-Combined_Staff_Report_7852_Lincoln_Avenue
5 of 13
Staff recommends that the Plan Commission determine the off-street parking
requirement for the proposed DDMBA Chicago Chapter at 7852 Lincoln Avenue to be 13
vehicle parking spaces and 1 bicycle parking space. Staff’s parking analysis for the
proposed use supports the requirement for the petitioner to make a financial
contribution in lieu of providing off-street parking.
During normal operations, DDMBA has a parking demand of 0.91 spaces per attendee.
11 off-street parking spaces and 4 bicycle parking spaces will be provided at 7852
Lincoln Avenue. With an expected maximum of 14 attendees, the number of parking
spaces required in a typical week is 13 parking spaces. A variance or relief from
providing required off-street motor vehicle parking is not permitted in the NX
Neighborhood Mixed-Use district. A payment shall be made to the Village for financial
contribution in lieu of providing off-street parking for each deficient required parking
space to 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. A contribution of $15,000 for each of the first 5 parking spaces
requested and $24,000 for each additional parking space requested thereafter must be
paid prior to the issuance of a building permit. In this case, a payment of $30,000
would be required in lieu of 2 parking spaces.
Staff recommends that the Plan Commission determine the off-street parking
requirement for the proposed DDMBA Chicago Chapter dormitory use at 7852 Lincoln
Avenue to be 27 vehicle parking spaces and 1 bicycle parking space.
The Association is also proposing to host small special events that will occur a
maximum of 6 times annually. The purpose of the dormitory use is to provide a stay for
these events. The expected maximum number of attendees is 30. With 30 attendees,
27 parking spaces are required using the ratio of 0.91 per attendee.
The applicant has represented that they signed a rental agreement with the Assyrian
National Council of Illinois located at 7840 Lincoln Avenue for 15 additional off-site
parking spaces when the special events occur. In any occurrence that the lease
agreement expires or is lost, additional off-street parking must be obtained to host
these special events.
The parking analysis worksheet is attached for your review. Staff reviewed the
submitted parking study and agreed with the study’s analysis, which recommended that
27 spaces be required for the dormitory use at 7852 Lincoln. A total of 11 spaces are
provided within the lot that DDMBA Chicago will occupy, with an additional 15 parking
spaces being leased from the Assyrian National Council of Illinois to be utilized all day
on weekends and after 5:30 P.M. on weekdays. The leasing hours are outside of the
Assyrian National Council of Illinois’ normal hours of operation and therefore the off-site
parking arrangement is acceptable to the Village. One of the 11 spaces on site will be
required to be handicapped accessible.
As is typical for large special events at various institutions throughout the Village, at a
time when the applicant anticipates a large event of 100-150 attendees, an application
for a Special Event Permit shall be made to and approved by the Village.

Required Loading Spaces = 0 (118-220 table for industrial district)
Comments: Parking requirement not met. Based on a survey of the existing facility, the DDMBA has a parking demand of
approximately 0.91 spaces per attendee. With an expected maximum of 14 attendees, the number of parking spaces required in a
typical week is 13 parking spaces. 11 off-street parking spaces are provided. Since a variance or relief from providing required off-
street motor vehicle parking is not permitted in this district, a payment shall be made to the Village, to 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, for each deficient required parking space. A contribution of $15,000 for each of the first 5 parking spaces
requested and $24,000 for each additional parking space requested thereafter must be paid prior to the issuance of a building
permit. In this case, a payment of $30,000 is required for 2 parking spaces. The facility is also proposing to host special events that
will occur 4 times annually. The purpose of the dormitory use is to provide a stay for these events. The expected maximum number
of attendees is 30. With 30 attendees, the expected number of parking needed is 27 when using the same ratio of 0.91 per attendee.
The facility has leased 15 parking spaces from the Assyrian National Council of Illinois to be utilized all day on weekends and after
5:30 P.M. on weekdays. That sums up to a total of 26 off-street parking spaces. The site shall always have an additional parking lot
to host these events that expect a higher parking demand than what the site can provide.
In the event that the site needs to host larger events, the applicant shall apply for a special event permit. The event must have final
approval from the Special Events Coordinator, the Village Manager’s Office and in some cases, the Village Board.
