Request from 735 N Cass, LLC (Petitioner), and The Andrew C. Hoskins Trust and The Venouziou
Limited Partnership (as Owners), for the property at 735 North Cass Avenue, Westmont, Illinois, 60559,
for the following:
1) Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the property from the O/R Office/Research District to the M
Manufacturing District.
Presentation:
Carlo Rossi, petitioner, presented the request. Rossi clarified that the purpose of the request is to
improve the marketability of the property with limited exterior improvements.
Staff Comment:
Scott Williams, Senior Planner, presented the staff report.
Carmichael asked about the difference in allowed uses between the O/R and M districts. Williams
explained that the O/R district is much more limited in the types of the uses allowed than the M district.
Public Comment:
None.
Commissioner Comments:
Simpson:Simpson asked how the M district was selected.Rossi said that due to the configuration of the
building, a flexible or light industrial use is the most appropriate land use. Simpson expressed concern
with the allowed uses in the M district, asking if there are any prospective tenants interested in this
space. Rossi replied that there is not a specific tenant in mind, but would market the property to an
appropriate tenant.
Donoghue:Donoghue shared concerns about the alloweduses in the M district, but found it was
consistent with the zoning of surrounding properties.
Thomas:Thomas asked staff how they confirm a businessis allowed in a zoning district. Williams
answered that staff receives inquiries from the business or property owner to determine compliance, or it
is reviewed when a business license is submitted. John Zemenak, Village Attorney, added that the
business registrations are required, which includes a zoning review, and have very few exceptions. Rossi
added that they tell potential tenants to contact the Village for zoning information.
Peterson:Peterson did not have objections to themap amendment request.
Carmichael:Carmichael, referencing the petitioner’slist of potential tenants, asked what they envisioned
with vehicle storage. Rossi explained that it could be for collectors’ vehicles. Carmichael expressed
concerns about the frequency of vehicles coming and going.
3
Carmichael questioned the location of the fire sprinkler room. Rossi explained that tenants would not
typically have access to the room, but the Fire Department would.
Peterson asked if multiple tenants would be allowed in the subject property. Williams answered yes.
Williams added that if vehicle storage were to occur on-site, it would have to be fully indoors, unless a
Special Use Permit for outdoor storage was approved. Rossi added that outdoor vehicle storage is not a
land use they are interested in.

I. BACKGROUND OF ITEM
A. Location: 777 Oakmont Lane, Suite 50 is located at the southwest corner of Pasquinelli Drive and

Page 4 of 42
III. ZONING ANALYSIS
A. Zoning and Comprehensive Plan Designations
The current zoning district of the property is O/R Office/Research District, which is intended to
provide for a wide range of office uses and low-impact commercial activities. The Comprehensive
Plan designates the future land use in this area as Light Industrial/Business Park. The future land
use of this office corridor “...should consist of office and business uses, ranging from multi-story
buildings found in the Pasquinelli Drive Office Park to more industrial type uses at Ty Warner
Industrial Park…”
B. Entitlement Request
The petitioner has provided a project narrative and supporting documentation for the following
request, including the necessary responses to the Special Use Standards. Any corresponding
standards for entitlement approval consideration can be referenced in item V(B) below.
● Special Use Permit to operate a health and fitness service in the O/R Office/Research
District.
Chapter 95, Section 6.01 requires that all health and fitness services obtain a Special Use Permit in
the O/R District to assess impacts like traffic, activities, number of employees, and operating hours.
The petitioner describes the Tee Box business model as a members-only indoor golf and training
facility with fitness components. The business is proposed to be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week to allow their members to access the facility on their own time. All members are required to
book a tee time to use the simulators with reservations being available for one (1) or two (2) hour
blocks. Each member may bring up to three (3) guests with them. With five (5) simulators, a
maximum of 20 people can use the facility at a time. In addition to the five (5) bays, there will be a
central putting green, bathrooms and locker rooms, cold plunges, and a sauna. There will also be a
dedicated gym space complete with treadmills, weights, and similar equipment.
Tee Box’s business model requires only one (1) employee on-site. While present, the employee will
perform coaching and training services, as well as scheduled maintenance. The employee would
typically be present from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but may occasionally work from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00
p.m. to interact with members during the evening hours. When no employees are present, the
subject unit will be surveilled by both interior and exterior cameras around the clock. There will also
be panic button systems throughout the facility that alert the petitioners in case immediate responses
are necessary.
The facility will always be locked, requiring members to be granted access through a secure digital
key fob or mobile app credential. These measures, in conjunction with the remote monitoring
system, give the petitioners the ability to control the number of individuals using the facility. It is
anticipated that their peak hours will be on weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to
7:00 p.m.
Members will be allowed to bring in their own food and beverages, or purchase them from vending
machines within the unit. There will also be a small kitchen area with a microwave available for the
members. However, no alcoholic beverages will be sold on-site, nor will members be allowed to
bring their own alcoholic beverages inside.
____________________________________________________________________________________
PZC 002-2026 Page 3 of 4
Page 5 of 42
Chapter 95, Section 9.02 requires 2.5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet for health and fitness
services (consumer services). This is the same parking requirement for business or professional
offices. Since this is an office building, at least 201 parking spaces must be provided. The subject
property has about 245 parking spaces, which exceeds the minimum requirement by 44 spaces.
The use must be considered to the Special Use standards, which are listed below:
Special Use Permit Review and Approval Criteria (Sec. 14.04(H)):
No special use may be recommended for approval or approved unless the respective review or
decision-making body determines that the proposed special use is consistent with and in substantial
compliance with all village ordinances and regulations and that the applicant has presented evidence
to support each of the following conclusions:
(1) That the proposed use or activity is expressly authorized in this zoning ordinance as a special
use;
(2) That the proposed use at the proposed location is necessary or desirable to provide a service
or a facility that is in the interest of public convenience and will contribute to the general
welfare of the neighborhood or community;
(3) That the proposed use will not, in the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or
general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or be injurious to property values
or improvements in the vicinity;
(4) That approval of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and
improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district;
(5) That the proposed special use will be served by adequate utilities, access roads, parking,
drainage and other important and necessary facilities, infrastructure and community services;
and
(6) That the proposed special use complies with all applicable regulations of this zoning
ordinance except as expressly approved in accordance with the procedures of this zoning
ordinance.
IV. SUMMARY
The petitioner has requested a Special Use Permit to operate Tee Box, a health and fitness service
(golf simulator business), in the O/R Office/Research District. The request complies with both the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and the recommendations from the Comprehensive Plan, and
is subject to the standards of Special Use Permit approval.

Application for Special Use Permit
Certain uses may be necessary or desirable to allow in a zoning district, but the use may have a unique, special, or
unusual impact on the use and enjoyment of neighboring properties or public facilities. The special use process is
designed to allow these unique uses to operate in an appropriate location and/or explain how potential impacts
will be mitigated.
Proposed Special Use Project Details
State the scope of the work and indicate the specific special use you are requesting. Attach business plans,
diagrams, drawings or other information as may be useful to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Village
Board of Trustees in understanding your special use request. You must indicate the specific sections of the
Zoning Ordinance for which the special use is sought. Please consult Village staff for confirmation.
We are requesting the special use permit for our business which is classified as "Health and
Fitness" to be within this O/R district. Article VI Principal Uses | Sec. 6.01 Allowed Uses
Scope of work includes:
We are not an "open to public" facility. This is a members only training facility that operates very
similar to a gym. We operate 24/7 and have an on-site golf coach/trainer (40 hours a week).
No Food, Beverage, or Alcohol Service: The absence of any food, beverage, or alcohol service
fundamentally distinguishes this facility from recreational entertainment venues
The facility is centered around skill-based athletic performance.
Special Use Standards
The Village of Westmont is obligated to make specific findings of fact for all special use applications according to the
Village’s Zoning Ordinance and Illinois State Statutes. Applicants are REQUIRED to submit written evidence and/or
analysis of the standards for special use permits below. Additionally, applicants are strongly encouraged to review
the standards for special use permits in preparation for their case during the Planning and Zoning Commission
public hearing. A proposed special use shall substantially meet the following standards in order to obtain the
recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and approval of the Board of Trustees1:
1. That the proposed use or activity is expressly authorized in this zoning ordinance as a special use.
Yes, our business is classified as "Health and Fitness" and fits within this zone which is
classified as O/R district if a special use permit is obtained.

Village of Westmont - Application for Special Use Permit
2. That the proposed use at the proposed location is necessary or desirable to provide a service or a facility
that is in the interest of public convenience and will contribute to the general welfare of the
neighborhood or community.
This business is built on development and community. The audience is families with young
children who want to invest into training / working out for a better and healthier style of life.
This is a club that is involved with local high schools and community events to attract the
youth and high income individuals.
3. That the proposed use will not, in the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare
of persons residing or working in the vicinity or be injurious to the property values or improvements in the
vicinity.
This will not be an issue as this business is generally low traffic, does not include and food
or alcoholic beverage sale and is a high cost membership attracting high income
consumers. We focus on health and training with a coach/trainer also on-site.
4. That approval of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of
surrounding property for uses permitted in the district.
It will not. There are already similar businesses in this area such as physical therapy and
general health and wellness. This is a low traffic business with high cost membership cost
attracting high income consumers who are respectful. Although golf simulators are
generally entertainment, this is not.
5. That the proposed special use will be served by adequate utilities, access roads, parking, drainage and other
important and necessary facilities, infrastructure and community services.
Yes, all of these items are up to our needs. Parking is a non issue and access roads works

Cover Letter
21 Handicap LLC / 1349 N Cedar Rd. New Lenox, IL 60451 / 231-557-0386
Date: 1/12/2026
To: City of Westmont Planning & Zoning Commission
Please accept this letter and the enclosed materials as a formal request for a Special Use
Permit to operate a Tee Box franchise at the property located at 777 Oakmont Lane Suite 50,
Westmont, IL 60559.
Project Overview & Proposed Use
Tee Box is a premier indoor golf training and practice facility that utilizes state-of-the-art
simulator technology. Our mission is to provide a high-quality, accessible environment for
golfers to improve their game through data-driven practice and professional-grade equipment.
This is a member only facility that focuses on families with young active children as well older
golfers trying to improve their game and relies on community to thrive which is why we believe
in Westmont. Every Tee Box location includes Trackman golf simulators, gym equipment,
putting green, lounge area, bathrooms/locker rooms. No food or alcoholic beverages will be sold
in the facility as this is more health and fitness focused rather than recreational.
General Operations & Staffing
The facility is designed as a streamlined, tech-forward operation. Unlike traditional retail or high-
traffic businesses, Tee Box operates with a minimal physical footprint:
● Hours of Operation: To accommodate the diverse schedules of our members, the
facility will be accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
○ Peak hours vary but usually 7-9am and 5-7pm on weekdays. Weekends can
have average traffic throughout the day.
● Staffing: Due to our automated entry systems and remote monitoring, the facility
requires only one (1) employee on-site during peak hours or for scheduled maintenance
and coaching/training. The hours the employee is on-site will vary slightly so that the
employee gets face-to-face with different members but 9am-5pm generally and maybe
twice per week the hours will be 1pm - 9pm for more exposure.
● Capacity: Every member is required to book a tee time for an hour or two-hour block
and can bring 3 other guests with them so 4 people total per single reservation. The
number of simulators in the facility maxes the number of members that can book time
slots. In our case, with 5 simulators, there can only be 5 members in the facility at one
time and up to 3 other people with each of them if they choose, so 20 total people at
once is the current max outside of private events which will be infrequent (once a quarter
at most).
Rivian Internal
Page 12 of 42
● Operational Flow: Access is managed via a secure membership portal, ensuring that
the number of individuals in the facility at any given time remains low and controlled.
Security and Safety Protocols To ensure a safe environment for our members and the
surrounding community during all hours of operation, the following security measures will
be implemented:
● Security: Controlled Access: The facility always remains locked. Members gain entry via
a secure, individual digital key-fob or mobile app credential.
○ 24/7 Surveillance: High-definition interior and exterior cameras monitor the
premises around the clock.
○ Remote Monitoring: Ownership maintains real-time visibility of the facility, and
emergency "panic button" systems are integrated into the layout to ensure
immediate response if required where my business partner Luke or I will be
notified.
● Food and Drink: Members will be allowed to bring in their own food and beverages,
however the facility will not allow any alcoholic beverages on-site. No BYOB or
alcoholic beverages for sale. We plan on also having vending machines on-site for
food and a small kitchen area for microwaveable food.
Entitlements Sought The applicant is seeking the following entitlements to allow for the
successful operation of this business:
1. A Special Use Permit to allow for "Health and Fitness" in an Office/Research district.
We believe that Tee Box will be a quiet, low-impact, and valuable addition to the Westmont
business community, providing a modern recreational outlet for residents.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this application. I am available at your
convenience to answer any questions or provide further clarification.
Sincerely,
Dominic Woodard,
Dominic Woodard, 21 Handicap LLC Owner/Operator

approximately 1.01 acres of land. Historically, the building has operated with a single tenant,
comprising office space in the front and a flexible storage area in the rear. Datair Employee Benefits

Office/Research District to the M Manufacturing District.
____________________________________________________________________________________
PZC 003-2026 Page 2 of 6
Page 23 of 42
III. ZONING ANALYSIS
A. Zoning and Comprehensive Plan Designations
The current zoning district of the property is O/R Office/Research District, which is intended to
provide for a wide range of office uses and low-impact commercial activities. The O/R district does
allow for select manufacturing accessory uses with Special Use Permit approval (Ch. 95, Sec. 7.19).
However, this approval is conditional upon there being no substantial building alterations to support
the accessory use. Alterations such as the addition of overhead doors, loading docks, etc., would not
be allowed.
The Comprehensive Plan designates the future land use in this area as Light Industrial/Business
Park. The future land use of this office corridor “...should consist of office and business uses, ranging
from multi-story buildings found in the Pasquinelli Drive Office Park to more industrial type uses at Ty
Warner Industrial Park…” The subject property is within proximity of Ty Warner Park, meaning that
“more industrial type uses” would be an appropriate future land use.
Comprehensive Plan - Proposed Land Use Map - 735 North Cass Avenue
B. Entitlement Request
The petitioner has provided a project narrative and supporting documentation for the following
request. Any corresponding standards for entitlement approval consideration can be referenced in
item V(B) below.
● Zoning Map Amendment from the O/R Office/Research District to the M Manufacturing
District.
____________________________________________________________________________________
PZC 003-2026 Page 3 of 6
Page 24 of 42
Chapter 95, Section 14.02 dictates the following regarding zoning map amendment request:
(2) Zoning Map Amendments
(a) The decision to amend the zoning map is a matter of legislative discretion that is not
controlled by any single standard. In making recommendations and decisions about zoning
map amendments, review and decision-making bodies must consider at least the following
factors:
i. The existing use and zoning of nearby property;
ii. The extent to which the particular zoning restrictions affect property values;
iii. The extent to which any diminution in property value is offset by an increase in
the public health, safety and welfare;
iv. The suitability of the subject property for its zoned purposes;
v. The length of time that the subject property has been vacant as zoned,
considering the context of land development in the vicinity;
vi. The value to the community of the proposed zoning map amendment; and
vii. The comprehensive plan.
(b) In acting on zoning map amendments, review and decision-making bodies are expressly
authorized to recommend and approve a less intensive zoning district classification than the
zoning district that was described in required public notices.
Allowable Uses
The applicant has identified a variety of potential future uses for the property. However, they do not
have a specific tenant that would utilize the location. These uses are expected to be generally
low-impact, similar to operations permitted in the Village’s manufacturing districts.
Potential target uses the petitioner has specified include:
● Light Industrial/Manufacturing: Small third-party storage and delivery operators, small
sign or machine part manufacturers, and light warehouse or small manufacturing
operations.
● Specialized Activities: Environmental research and testing laboratory services,
specialized research activities, and storage for antique or rare automobile collections
(automotive storage).
● Recreation: Children’s recreation, such as soccer or gymnastics training academies.
The applicant has explicitly stated that the proposal does not include vehicle repair activities or
industrial manufacturing processes. However, if rezoned any potential tenant or property owner may
request any special use allowed in that district or allow for any permitted use to move in by right. The
list of uses that are allowed in the M District are delineated in the attached document.
Parking
The existing property offers 47 striped parking spaces, which includes 2 accessible spaces. The
minimum requirement for off-street parking is determined by the specific use of the building, as
outlined in Section 9.02. Table I presents the parking ratios for a selection of uses the petitioner has
indicated as potential targets. However, the exact parking ratio may vary depending on the ultimate
user's specific operations.

PZC 003-2026 Page 4 of 6
Page 25 of 42
Table I: Section 9.02 Require Off-Street Parking for Selected Manufacturing District Uses
Use Category Required Parking Rate Estimated Spaces Required
(Per 1,000 sq. ft.) (Based on Building Size)
Warehouse & 0.75 Approximately 11 spaces
Distribution
Manufacturing & 1.10 Approximately 16 spaces
Industry (except as
noted below)
Lot and Building Regulations
The existing building on site was constructed prior to 1978 based on historical imagery. The building
itself has several nonconforming features including a substandard front-yard setback of 25 feet when
30 feet is required in the O/R District and an existing interior side yard setback of 10 feet when 20
feet is required. If approved, the building itself would meet the minimum interior side yard setback of
5 feet in the M District but would still have a non-conforming front yard setback of 25 feet when 30
feet is required. Further details regarding the bulk standards for each district can be found in Table II.
Additionally, the applicant has explained additional site improvement are proposed to the building
including the addition of two over head garage doors on the north facade, a bike rack, a fire sprinkler
room, and the division of the building into two tenant suites (approximately 7,060 sq. ft. and 7,774
sq. ft.). A floor plan has been prepared by the petitioner and is attached.
Table II: Office/Research and Manufacturing District Lot and Building Regulations

IV. SUMMARY
The petitioner seeks a Zoning Map Amendment to change the property's zoning classification from the
O/R Office/Research District to the M Manufacturing District. While no specific use has been identified,
the petitioner’s intent is to create two units and market the property for light manufacturing uses and
flexible spaces.
