COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT — Alderman Sayad, Chair
Director of Community and Economic Development Mike McMahon reviewed a
memorandum dated March 11, 2019.
The prospective buyer of 2100 S Wolf Road, Seefried Industrial Properties, Inc.,
has filed an application requesting a City resolution in support of its Cook County
Class 6b Tax Incentive Application based on new construction.
The 3.89 acre property is zoned M-2 General Manufacturing. The company
currently operating out of the subject building, Radco Tools, is proposing to sell
the property.
If approved for the Cook County Class 6b, the applicant proposes to raze the
current building and construct a new Class A precast concrete industrial building
with a general construction value of $4,400,000.
Cook County's Class 6b economic development tool encourages industrial
investment by offering a real estate tax incentive. The applicant is applying under
New Construction.
Assessment of Tax Impact Scenarios:
1. Estimate Property Taxes as -is with vacancy relief in 2020 $ 77,017
2. Estimated Property Taxes with proposed improvements without a 6b in 2020:
$220,336
3. Estimated Property Taxes with proposed improvements with a 6b in 2020:
$ 88,134
A Class 6b incentive requires a resolution of consent from municipalities. Staff
recommended approval Resolution R-72-19.
Moved by Brookman, seconded by Chester to Approve a Resolution to Support
and Consent to Approval of a Class 6b Classification for the Property located at
2100 S Wolf Road; and further recommend that R-72-19 be adopted at the
appropriate time this evening. Upon voice vote, motion declared carried.
The petitioner, Brian Liston from Liston & Tsantilis, P.C., is requesting a
Preliminary Planned Unit Development (PUD) with exceptions, a Tentative Plat
of Subdivision, a Map Amendment to rezone the properties from C-2 Limited
Office to C-3 General Commercial, and a Conditional Use for a Localized
Alternative Sign Regulation to allow for the construction of a new freestanding
restaurant building, the construction of a new parking lot, incorporating various
wall and ground signs and other various property improvements on the subject
property.
The property owner proposes to construct an approximate 6,000 square foot Class
A sit-down restaurant; a brand-new business incubator space within the existing
office building to assist emerging businesses find office space within the O'Hare
office sub -market; construction of a new 88 space off-street parking lot on the
vacant parcel; significant infrastructure upgrades to all properties including the
Page 6 of 8 04/01/19
addition of stormwater detention facilities to accommodate run-off; and
construction of a new bridge over Willow Creek to connect the office building
property to the new off-street parking lot.
Additionally, the building was constructed in 1986. At that time, the C-2 Limited
Office Commercial District did not exist. Once this zoning district was
introduced, it made some components of the existing property non -conforming.
The petitioner is proposing to rezone the subject properties from C-2 Limited
Office Commercial District to C-3 General Commercial District.
The petitioner has submitted a tentative plat of subdivision in order to re -
subdivide the existing lots into five new lots to reflect the redevelopment of this
property.
The last component of this application is to create a unified sign plan for the
seven -acre+ development. There are existing signs located on the property and
new proposed signs to accommodate the office building address, tenants and the
new free-standing restaurant.
Given the size of the development, the unique position of the property, setback
of the office building from the road, the lay out of the office building and the
proposed restaurant in relationship to I-90 and Higgins Road, staff finds the
necessity for all requests in order to identify several businesses/users coming
from multiple directions.
The Planning and Zoning Board recommended (6-0) that the City Council
approval of the request with the following conditions.
1) A Landscape Plan shall be submitted with the Final PUD and Final Plat of
Subdivision Application.
2) That the exterior color and building materials for the future restaurant building
complement the existing office building and comply with the Building Design
Standards in the Zoning Ordinance.
3) Floor plans, colored elevations and a rendering of the proposed restaurant
building shall be submitted with the Final PUD and Final Plat of Subdivision
Application.
4) Cross access easements shall be placed throughout all parcels for pedestrians
and motors to access all new lots.
5) A parking access easement shall be placed onto all lots to allow all uses to be
able to park on any of the lots within the development.
6) Air right/billboard overhang easements shall be provided for the two existing
billboards on the Final Plat of Subdivision.
Moved by Chester, seconded by Lysakowski to Approve a Planned Unite
Development and Conditional Use Amendments for a Localized Alternative Sign
Regulation for the Construction of a Commercial Retail Building on Lot 1 of the
Orchards at O'Hare Development, 1620-1630 Higgins Road; and further
recommend that Z-5-19 be adopted at the appropriate time this evening. Upon
voice vote, motion declared carried.
