approaching from both directions. Mike tried to get the driver to exit the vehicle, but he refused
to do so. Mike called 9-1-1 to report the incident. Mike then turned on his cell phone flashlight

UNFINISHED
BUSINESS
METROPOLITAN The City has re-engaged The Lakota Group, a Chicago -based urban design firm that has
SQUARE PLAZA studied Metropolitan Square in the past, to revisit prior ideas with the current Council, to
REDESIGN collect feedback, to help settle on a preferred design, and to provide cost estimates and an
OPTIONS implementation framework.
Considerations include location, orientation, and number of parking spaces; type of plaza
surface; traffic and pedestrian routing and access; "placemaking" elements such as benches,
shade, landscaping and trees, overhead -cover structures; fountains; and outdoor tables for
dining for the adjacent restaurants.
Kevin Clark, Principal for The Lakota Group, presented options to the City Council which
were distilled into a Concept 1 and Concept 2.
Potential Cost — Concept 1 between $4,340,000-$4,760,000; Concept 2 between $3,456,000-
$3,853,000; and Metropolitan Way between $1,957,800-$2,260,000.
Mayor Goczkowski and the Aldermen stated their viewpoints on the concept designs; majority
preferred Concept 1 over Concept 2. The Aldermen also provided the overall vision they hope
to be conceptualized once the project is completed.
Resident John Boryk asked if the vendor access for Shop and Save can be expanded to alleviate
the congestion from the semi -trucks.
Kevin Clark stated he will move forward for refinements to Concept 1, and proceed with an
updated concept for the City Council.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT- Alderman Chester, Chair

APPROVING A January 20, 2022.
Page 6 of 9 2/7/22
FINAL PLAT OF
The petitioner requests combined approval of a Tentative Plat and recommended approval of
SUBDIVISION,
Final Plat of Subdivision under Section 13-2-5 of the Subdivision Regulations to consolidate
ZONING MAP AMD,
the existing seven parcels into one lot of record. In addition, the petitioner is requesting the
MAJOR
following under the Zoning Ordinance: (i) a Conditional Use under Section 12-7-2(I) for a
VARIATION, &
residentially zoned assembly use at 1495 Prospect Avenue; (ii) a Map Amendment under
COND USE PERMIT
Section 12-3-7 to rezone the subject property from R-1 Single Family Residential to R-3
AT 1495 PROSPECT
Townhouse Residential; and (iii) a Variation from Section 12-7-1 to allow more than one
AVE / 1932
principal building on a zoning lot.
ILLINOIS ST
Ordinance
The proposed project consists of enhancements to the parking areas, including striping and
Z-2-22'
curbs; landscaping and green space installations; and a significant reduction in the amount of
impervious surface to bring together a more cohesive and better engineered Phat Bao site. The
site would include the main L-shaped assembly building as well as the former single-family
house at 1932 Illinois St. The existing statue, platform, and waterfall feature located within the
buildable area on southern portion of the site are proposed to remain as part of this request.
The petitioner is also working with staff to address outstanding building and life safety issues
on the property as a whole and making any required interior and exterior improvements to the
structures to increase conformance to the current code.
The Phat Bao Temple Proposed Site Improvement Plans indicate the existing 26 parking
spaces, two of which are accessible, and details proposed enhancements to the existing parking
area, including striping and addition of parking lot landscaping. No changes to the existing
structures are proposed in this request, the parking standard does not apply. No parking
variation is necessary.
The petitioner is requesting a Final Plat of Subdivision to consolidate the subject property from
seven lots to one lot of record. The new subdivision, identified as 1495 Prospect Avenue
Subdivision, will encompass the entire 37,085 -square -foot property (0.85 acres). The
petitioner's Final Plat of Subdivision shows the existing eleven lots that are proposed to be
consolidated into one 37,102 -square -foot (0.85 acre) L-shaped lot measuring 222 feet along
Illinois Street (corner -side yard) and 200 feet along Prospect Avenue (front yard). The
proposed lot includes the existing L-shaped religious institution at 1495 Prospect Avenue and
existing unused residence at 1932 Illinois Street, neither of which are proposed to change with
this request. The Final Plat includes minimum 25 -foot front and rear building setbacks,
10 -foot corner -side building setback, and 5 -foot interior side yard building setbacks. The Final
Plat also shows the location of the 15 -foot -wide vacated public alley that was positioned in the
southeastern portion of the lot. Despite the separate addresses for the main worship building
and the rectory, the property is considered one zoning lot because all of the contiguous property
is within a single block, has common ownership (Phat Bao Temple), and has a scope of work
that encompasses both lots as a unit.
The petitioner seeks to rezone the subject property from R-1 Single Family Residential to R-3
Townhouse Residential. This is due to the existing use of the property at 1495 Prospect Avenue
as a residentially zoned assembly use, which is allowed with a conditional use permit in the
R-1 district only on sites of one acre or more with frontage on a collector or arterial street. As
the subject property is less than an acre and located on two local streets, these requirements
cannot be met, requiring a rezoning. A residentially zoned assembly use is a conditional use in
the R-3 district, but there are no acreage and street frontage requirements. Similarly, the
proposed rectory use at 1932 Illinois Street also requires a conditional use in the R-1 district,
but it is a permitted use in the R-3 district.
The petitioner requests several variations, many of which relate to existing conditions on the
site. However, staff has concluded that only one variation is required: to allow more than one
principal structure on one lot of record. The principal buildings include the L-shaped, main
building used for the assembly use and the existing house utilized as a rectory/parish house.
Page 7 of 9 2/7/22
Since there are two principal buildings proposed for one zoning lot, and only one is allowed
except for in certain circumstances that do not include the proposal, a variation is required
from this provision. It is foreseeable that the housing or office building(s) on religious
properties would exceed the Ordinance's limitation on accessory structures in multiple ways.
Instead, these buildings—in the petitioner's case, a rectory—are best classified as secondary
principal buildings, but the Ordinance does not make an allowance for them. It is also important
to note that both structures are under common ownership by the religious institution, Phat Bao
Temple, and whose uses are connected to the proposed residentially zoned assembly use so the
consolidation of the existing lots into one lot allows for a more cohesive design of the existing
development.
The PZB broke their determination into three separate motions: (1) Approval of the Tentative
Plat of Subdivision and recommendation (6-0) that City Council approve of the Final Plat of
Subdivision; (2) Recommendation (6-0) that City Council approve the Map Amendment; and
(3) Recommendation (6-0) that City Council approve the Conditional Use and Major Variation
requests in the staff report.
If the City Council chooses to approve these requests via Ordinance Z-2-22 staff recommends
the approval be subject to the following:
1. The Landscape Plan must be revised so that it meets all applicable landscaping
requirements under Section 12-10 of the Zoning Ordinance prior to its submission as
part of the building permit application process.
2. All improvements made as part of the proposed project must comply with all
applicable codes and ordinances. Drawings and Plans might need to be revised in order
to comply with current codes and ordinances.
3. Any governing documents prepared for the Subject Property must be reviewed by the
City Attorney prior to recordation.
Moved by Chester, seconded by Lysakowski, to Approve the Ordinance Z-2-22, AN
ORDINANCE APPROVING A FINAL PLAT OF SUBDIVISION, ZONING MAP
AMENDMENT, MAJOR VARIATION, AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A
RESIDENTIALLY ZONED ASSEMBLY USE AT 1495 PROSPECT AVENUE /

DISCUSSION Director of Community and Economic Development Carlisle reviewed a memorandum dated
REGARDING January 12, 2022.
ZONING PUBLIC
Page 8 of 9 2/7/22
HEARING At the December 6, 2021 meeting, the City Council requested a review of Des Plaines' and
NOTIFICATION similar communities' public hearing notification regulations for zoning applications, in
RANGE particular the mailed notices.
Applications that require a public hearing, such as conditional uses, variations, map and text
amendments, and planned unit developments, are made public in several ways. For all public
hearings, a published legal notice must appear in a local newspaper between 15 and 30 days
prior to the hearing. Further, except for a text amendment — which would apply to the whole
City — a notice sign must be posted at the subject property. Finally, for map amendments,
conditional uses (which include planned unit developments), or major variations, property
owners within 300 feet of the perimeter of the subject property receive a notice via standard
mail.
Municipalities determine the notification range from the subject property, and whether the size
of this range will be dependent on the type of application, or the same ("fixed") for all zoning
applications requiring a mailed notice.
The Northwest Municipal Conference (NWMC), of which the City of Des Plaines is a member,
has conducted two surveys pertaining to mailed public hearing notices in recent years. In
December 2019, most (14 of 17) respondents indicated a fixed public notice range between
150 and 300 feet from the subject property. Just three communities had variable ranges that
could extend beyond Des Plaines' current 300 -foot range: Winnetka, Evanston, and Glenview.
In Winnetka, mailed notices were sent to property owners within 250 feet from the subject
property, with an exception for special uses in their commercial overlay district, which
required a 500 -foot radius. Evanston's requirement ranged from 250 feet for minor variations
to 500 feet for major variations or map amendments, and finally 1,000 feet for planned
developments.
The 2015 NWMC survey elicited 15 responses besides Des Plaines. With the exception of two
municipalities, all respondents had established a fixed notification range between 150 and 300
feet from the perimeter of the subject property. In 2015 the exceptions were Lake Forest and
Deerfield. In Lake Forest, special use permits required a notice area of 1,320 feet, or three
properties deep, whichever was less. In Deerfield, a 250 -foot range was utilized, with an
exception for height variations, which required a mailing range of 500 feet.
Mailed notice preparation, addressing, and stuffing envelopes is completed by City staff,
although the applicant is charged for the service via an escrow deposit. The Council may wish
to balance the cost for petitioners and use of staff resources with the desired notice shed.
Resident Bruce Ahlmann encouraged the City Council to enlarge the notification area.
City Council indicated they want to proceed with increasing the notification area of
commercial and industrial zoning districts to 1,000 feet, excluding the residential zoning
districts.
