Case 2025-02P: Special Use Permit: 8046 Ridgeway Avenue A request from Chicago Title Land Trust Company, as Trustee Under Trust #53330-SK, dated September 1, 1995 on behalf of Rashid Ahmed, for a special use permit for outdoor storage (display of vehicles for sale) in an M2 Light Industry zoning district and any other relief that may be discovered during the hearing. # 625518 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes March 20, 2025 APPROVED on 4/17/2025 PIN: 10-23-330-054-0000 Corporation Counsel, Tyler Kobylski, determined that notice was proper and correct. Mike Voitik, Planning Coordinator, requested that the staff report be accepted into the record as written. He stated that staff is supportive of the request for a special use permit for an outdoor storage area. He mentioned that this space is also shared by a business at 8040 Ridgeway Avenue. Mr. Voitik noted that 8046 Ridgeway is a car dealership and the outdoor storage area is adjacent to the building it occupies. The outdoor storage special use request is required due to the outdoor storage area being gravel and not pavement. Commissioner Gevayahu asked to clarify if the outdoor storage lot that is proposed will be used for the sale of cars and not for off-street parking for customers. Mike Voitik confirmed that customers would be parking in one of the angled spots provided by the petitioner for customer parking on the south side of the building or customers may use one of the four parallel spaces on the north side of the building. Commissioner Minchella asked how many cars the petitioner expect to park in the outdoor storage area. Mr. Voitik explained that they have measured 54 feet from front to back, and assuming they park bumper to bumper, the petitioner may potentially be able to park up to nine (9) cars within the lot. Commissioner Minchella also inquired about the 5-foot clearance requested by staff along the wall to the north of the outdoor storage space and if cars will need to be moved. Mr. Voitik explained that the Fire Department requested this 5-foot clearance for a pathway along the north end of the outdoor storage space and it will be a condition for approval, and any objects obstructing that 5-foot clearance will need to be moved. Commissioner Berman asked if there is any condition that there be a 5-foot clearance between the outdoor storage space and the building to the south. Mr. Voitik confirmed that there will be no condition requiring a 5-foot clearance from the building to the south due to the fact that there is existing parking making it a “Grandfathered in existing condition”. Commissioner Berman also asked if the village ever requires applicants to pave their gravel lots as an acceptable condition. Mr. Voitik explained that this site has had a long history of an outdoor storage use without a permit and now the applicant is legalizing this use with their application. Mr. Voitik also explained that the applicant was given the option to either pave the lot and install sewer infrastructure, which would be a tremendous cost, or apply for a special use permit to allow the gravel surface for an outdoor storage use. The applicant agreed to the latter. # 625518 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes March 20, 2025 APPROVED on 4/17/2025 Commissioner Berman continued asking if there is a prohibition in place for repairing cars in the outdoor storage lot and if it is necessary to do so. Mr. Voitik explained that it wouldn’t be necessary as this lot would strictly be used to store cars that are for sale. The business does have a small garage in which they repair cars, but he explained that only minor prep work, if any, will be done in the outdoor storage lot. Chairman Luke asked the petitioner, Muhammed Azlan, if he agrees with the report given by staff and if he has anything to add. Mr. Azlan stated that he agrees with the staff report and wanted to clarify that the outdoor storage lot is strictly for display and that the nine-car outdoor storage lot is more than enough space to fit their needs. Chairman Luke also inquired about lighting for the storage lot. The petitioner confirmed that there are flood lights and security cameras in place facing the lot. (IV) RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING A motion was made to approve case 2025-02P, along with conditions, as presented. Motion: S. Berman Second: T. Gevaryahu Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 (V) PULIC COMMENTS Joseph Zaya, a local business owner in the area voiced concerns regarding the available parking in the area and shared concerns about the proposed outdoor storage special use permit causing further issues with parking. Chairman Luke clarified that the proposal includes staff on-site parking and will have a low number of staff employed and parked at this location, so parking overflow will be slim to none. Chairman Luke clarified that the proposal includes off-street parking for staff and will have low impact on the available street parking in the surrounding area. Chairman Luke asked the petitioner to confirm how many staff members will be or are employed at this business and the petitioner clarified that only two. With most of their customer base coming from their website, there is also no high foot traffic generated. (VI) ITEMS FOR COMMUNICATION None # 625518 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes March 20, 2025 APPROVED on 4/17/2025 (VII) ADJOURNMENT Chair Luke adjourned the meeting at 8:08 PM.

PINs: 10-29-208-027-0000, 10-29-208-028-0000, 10-29-208-029-0000, and 10-29-210-012-0000 Corporation Counsel, Tyler Kobylski, determined that notice was proper and correct. Jose Acosta, Planning Coordinator, requested that the staff report be accepted into the record as written. He stated that staff is supportive of the request for additions to the District 219 campus including the 4 items of relief. He displayed the site plan, Findings of Fact, and recommended conditions. The 2-story building is new construction for the Niles Central High School (an alternative education use) on the southeast side while the 3-story addition will be on the northeast side of Niles West school building. The proposal includes reconfigured surface parking, new stormwater detention, and a new traffic signal on Gross Point Road. It was discovered during the review of this case that IDOT owns the parking lot on the northeast corner. However, it is included in the site plan approval request. The petitioner and IDOT are in communication and a formal agreement is being drawn up for the use of this lot. The improvements made will positively impact traffic congestion and vehicular and pedestrian safety at the school and in the neighborhood. As part of the new traffic signal, a new walkway is proposed from Gross Point Road to Oakton Street to provide pedestrian access to the new Niles Central High School. Also, as part of this project, a condition will be added that the unimproved driveway portion of Austin Avenue which serves the football stadium on the west side of the campus will be paved to Village standards when the resurfacing of Austin Avenue takes place. Items of relief include: - Install directional signs in a residential district. # 625188 Plan Commission meeting minutes March 6, 2025 DRAFT/ NOT APPROVED - Allow directional signs to be in excess of 4 sq. ft and be greater than 38” in one direction. - Waive the requirement of 1 parking lot tree for every 15 parking spaces. - Waive landscaping between the property line and the continuous curbing adjacent to street frontages in parking lots. Scott Berman inquired if a separate approval is needed from IDOT regarding the parking lot that they own. Community Development Director, Johanna Nyden answered that the parking lot has long been part of the site and is considered part of the application. Ken Florey, attorney from Robbins Schwartz and Athi Toufexis, architect of Studio GC representing the school showed a power point slide show of their proposal. They added that the student body is not increasing. The educational services of Niles Central are for Niles West & Niles North students only – no out of district enrollees. They also mentioned that the no landscaping within the school lots is a safety protocol so people cannot hide. Scott Berman asked about the stormwater detention and the decrease in parking spaces. Jim Vreeland, Asst. Superintendent for Business answered that the stormwater detention is all underground. The net decrease in parking lot spaces is due to the repurposing of the space that Drivers-Ed and bus parking utilized. Ross Mathee wanted confirmation that the School Board has approved the project. He also inquired where the school administrative office will be located. Mr. Florey stated that the administration and business offices will still be on-site locating in the main school building addition. (IV) RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING A motion was made to approve as presented the recommendations of staff for site plan approval to construct a 2-story building which will serve as the new location of Niles Central High School and a 3-story building addition at Niles West High School, along with reconfigured surface parking, new stormwater detention, and a new signalization intersection at Gross Point Road.

Figure 3: Aerial View of the Subject Site PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL The petitioner is requesting a special use permit for outdoor storage at 8046 Ridgeway Avenue in an M2 Light Industry zoning district, and any relief that may be discovered during the review of this case. The outdoor storage area will be operated in conjunction with the existing Car’s Unlimited car dealer business, which is located within the northern end of the first floor of the building. The business contains an administrative office and a garage space where vehicles are prepped for sale. A special use permit is required in order to allow the car dealer to park its vehicle inventory on an existing crushed gravel surface that is located to the north of the building. The outdoor storage area will be able to accommodate up to 9 vehicles while maintaining a walkway adjacent to the north side of the building. An existing 8’-tall wood fence screens the storage area from view from VOSDOCS-#625029-v1-Staff_Report_-_2025-02P_-_Special_Use_Permit__8046_Ridgeway_Avenue 3 of 7 Ridgeway Avenue and the storage area contains security cameras and motion detection lighting. The remainder of the area to the north of the building and directly east of the alley is currently paved and will be striped to contain a total of 4 parallel parking spaces and a driveway which will provide vehicular access between the alley and the outdoor storage area. The petitioner also has permission from the property owner to use 4 of the existing spaces in the parking lot to the south of the building. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for a special use permit for outdoor storage at 8046 Ridgeway Avenue in an M2 Light Industry zoning district be APPROVED, subject to the recommended conditions and attached Proposed Positive Findings of Fact. The special use permit will legalize usage of a portion of the 8040-8046 Ridgeway Avenue property where unpermitted outdoor storage has occurred in the past. Constructed in 1949, the building currently contains a car dealer, which has occupied the space since 2024, as well as a wholesale trade establishment. The 8046 Ridgeway tenant space was previously occupied by a different car dealer. Sufficient on-site parking is provided for both tenants. Public parking is available along both sides of Ridgeway Avenue and Keeney Street, to the north of the subject site. Due to the presence of second story windows and vents, staff requests that no vehicles be parked or stored within 5 feet of the north wall of the building in order to maintain unobstructed access. Prior to the petitioner’s use of the outdoor storage area, the property owner shall restripe the south parking lot in order to bring the depths of the parking spaces into compliance with Village Code requirements. A one-way sign shall be installed on the subject site at the north side of the entrance to the south parking lot at Ridgeway Avenue.
