CONSIDER Director of Community & Economic Development Carlisle reviewed a memorandum dated APPROVING A 2ND January 26, 2023. MAJOR AMEND TO EXIST PUD, FIN At staff's request, the Council deferred its second and final reading of approving Ordinance PLAT OF SUBDIV. Z-39-22 at the January 17, 2023 meeting. After the packet materials were finalized, staff & MAJ VAR. & learned the real estate negotiations between petitioner Mariner Higgins Centre, LLC (current REPEAL PRIOR owner) and hotel developer NexGen Hotel Management (Representative: Chris Patel) had APVL FOR 1700 W. progressed, with more details now known. The hotel developer proposes to purchase Lot 2 of HIGGINS RD the proposed subdivision, upon which the hotel and its immediately adjacent parking would be Ordinance built. They do not propose purchasing Lot 1, which contains the existing office building. The Z-39-22 purchasing entity for Lot 2 would be DP Hospitality, Inc. The Council voted 7-1 to approve the first reading of the approving Ordinance at its January 3, 2023 meeting after deferring the item from December 19, 2022. Between these two Page 5 of 9 2/6/2023 meetings, staff researched the off-street parking requirements of other communities in the O'Hare area for office and hotel uses. In summary, Des Plaines' current requirements are in line with the comparison group, although Arlington Heights (office) and Schiller Park (hotel) require less. It appears all communities in the study group require more parking for both uses than the averages concluded by ITE. Separate from and dependent on the approval of this request, the petitioner is applying for the City's amended support to a Class 7b Cook County Property Tax Incentive. The petitioner is requesting the following: (i) a Major Change to a Conditional Use for a Final PUD under Section 12-3-5 of the Zoning Ordinance to allow for a hotel to the east of the existing office building but without the parking garage that was approved in 2021; bulk exceptions include building height for the hotel, parking lot curb distance from lot lines in the proposed hotel parking area, and width of the parking lot perimeter landscape area; (ii) a Final Plat of Subdivision under Section 13-2-8 of the Subdivision Regulations to subdivide the site into four lots of record and grant subdivision variations for lot depth and frontage for the billboard lots; and (iii) Major Variations to reduce the required parking for the existing office building and proposed hotel. The petitioner and hotel developer NexGen Hotel Management approached the City in 2022 to propose the hotel in substantially the same form, scale, and location as approved in 2021 but without the previously approved parking garage west of the office. The proposed reduction in parking necessitates City Council approval of a "major change." Since the previously approved parking garage would not fit on private property, the garage necessitated a vacation of a portion of City right-of-way, approximately 18,195 square feet of the former Webster Avenue. However, without the parking garage, the vacation is no longer necessary. Nonetheless, the 2021 approval of the Final Plat of Subdivision included this vacation area in its geometry, which means an amended Final Plat of Subdivision pursuant to Section 13-2-9 of the Subdivision Regulations is necessary for the newly proposed project and site arrangement. There are also two existing two-sided billboards on the subject property, one on the northwest corner of the site and the other on the northeast portion of the site. The subdivision places each on their own small lots, which do not front on a public street or meet the minimum lot area of the Subdivision Regulations, which do not contemplate billboard lots. All of the requests are intended to work in concert to achieve the following: • Obtain major variation relief for the number of required off-street parking spaces for both the existing office building and the proposed hotel. • Resubdivide the existing lots to provide individual lots for the existing office building, each of the two existing billboards, and the proposed hotel, with subdivision variations for the billboard lots. • Modify the existing parking lot area in the southeast corner of the subject property to make room for a new hotel building and its parking area. The petitioner, Mariner Higgins Centre, LLC, is requesting a Major Change to the PUD to allow for the construction of a 107 -room, five -story (approximately 59 -foot -tall) Home2 Suites by Hilton hotel. The hotel specializes in extended stay. The Final PUD plan has been revised to show the proposed hotel positioned in the southeast corner of the property substantially in the same location as in the 2021 approval. However, the existing surface parking area on the northwest portion of the property, where the parking garage had been proposed, is now retained. The property owner now proposes: Page 6 of 9 2/6/2023 • Construction of an approximately 64,760 -square -foot hotel on the southeast corner of the lot; • Separate parking area and access for the new hotel; and • Stormwater detention facilities for the hotel parcel (Lot 2) to accommodate run-off. The subject property is currently accessed by one signalized entrance off Higgins Road and single drive aisle to the building, surface/covered parking areas, and billboard signs. The proposed lot configuration will reallocate the parking area east of the drive aisle for the new hotel and hotel surface parking area but will not alter the existing drive aisle. The new hotel parcel will be accessible via a single entranceway, which is aligned with the existing entranceway to the front of the office building. The service drive for the hotel parcel does not provide access to all sides of the proposed hotel building and does not meet width standards for fire truck access due to space constraints. The proposal does include a fire hydrant located on the east side of the building, which has been approved by the Fire Prevention Bureau. The proposed hotel building (Lot 2) consists of 107 rooms and approximately 587 square feet of office space area, requiring a total of 110 spaces. The proposal for the hotel parcel includes 61 spaces, with two additional designated as loading spaces. Therefore, the minimum requirement is not met and requires variation. Similarly, for the existing office building (Lot 1), after subtracting the excluded floor areas, the requirement is 541 spaces. The subject property was built under different parking regulations and contains 392 spaces, which does not conform with the current parking requirements. Section 12-9-9 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that for any new commercial building, loading shall be provided, with 50,000 square feet of gross floor area as the basis for the number of loading spaces. The petitioner's submittal does not designate or label a loading space. Further, the Section establishes that the standard size of a loading space is 35 feet long by 15 feet wide. Section 12-9-9.A. does state, however, that the dimensions for a loading space may be "otherwise specified." Consequently, the PZB specified that standard -width (9 feet) and -length (18 feet) parking space(s) would suffice as required loading space(s), provided they are signed and marked. The proposal seeks to add landscaping throughout the new proposed Lot 2 designated for the new hotel including foundation and parking lot landscaping areas as illustrated on the attached Landscape Plans. A PUD exception to waive the required five -foot -wide perimeter parking lot landscape area behind the south and east parking space rows is requested. Even with granting the exception, the proposal contains perimeter plantings in these areas as well as additional landscaping at the corners of the parking areas and throughout the entire site. The existing property consists of two parcels totaling 5.74 acres, containing a six -story office building with 139,000 square feet of leasable office space and a 392 -space parking facility with 358 surface spaces, 28 indoor spaces, and six handicap accessible parking spaces. The petitioner proposes to resubdivide the existing parcels into four lots— without the addition of a vacation -of -right-of-way area as approved in 2021. The site description of Final Plat of Subdivision: • Parcel 1 includes the existing office building and existing surface parking areas, except for the parking area portion located east of the entrance drive from Higgins Road; • Parcel 2 includes the proposed hotel and separate new surface parking area located east of the entrance drive off Higgins Road; • Parcel 3 includes the existing northeastern billboard sign; and • Parcel 4 includes the existing northwestern billboard sign. The Final Plat shows the following existing easements: (i) a 34 -foot -by -92.29- foot stormwater detention area; (ii) a 51 -foot -by -76.9 -foot stonnwater detention area; (iii) a 10 -foot storm NEW BUSINESS Page 7 of 9 2/6/2023 sewer easement at the southwestern portion of the property; (iv) a 14 -foot public utility easement throughout the south portion of the property; and (v) a 10 -foot public utilities easement throughout the north portion of the property. The proposed Lots 3 and 4, which will contain the billboard signs, are new lots and are subject to the Subdivision Regulations. Pursuant to Section 13-2-5.R, all new lots must be a minimum of 125 feet in depth. Since the proposed Lots 3 and 4 are only 10 feet deep, they do not meet the minimum depth requirements resulting in a need for subdivision variation for each as part of this request. Further, pursuant to Section 13-2-5.V, all lots must front on a public street. The proposed lots border a private parking area, but not a public street, thus each requiring a subdivision variation. The petitioner has submitted variation requests for required off-street parking due to the unique size and shape of the development. As noted above, the property has 392 existing parking spaces, which will be reduced to 308 spaces (net loss of 84) with the construction of the hotel and no proposed parking garage. The petitioner has allocated 61 spaces for the proposed hotel building on Lot 2—previously 63, but two have been re -allocated as loading to comply with Section 12-9-9—leaving a total of 247 spaces for the office building on Lot 1. Since a total of 110 spaces are required for the hotel and 541 spaces for the office building, the petitioner has requested two major variations. The PZB voted 6-0 to approve the Tentative Plat and voted 6-0 for each of other motions, to recommend approval of the major variations, Final PUD, and Final Plat of Subdivision (with Subdivision Variations). Should the City Council vote to approve the requests, staff and the PZB recommend the following conditions: 1. Off-street loading in a location and quantity required by Section 12-9-9 of the Zoning Ordinance and in the size specified by the PZB will be provided. 2. All governing documents for the proposed development including covenants, conditions, and restrictions, or any operating reciprocal easement agreements must be submitted to and approved by the City's General Counsel prior to the recording of the Final Plat of PUD or Final Plat of Subdivision.
