Comprehensive Plan
Designation The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Higher Density Urban Mix
with Residential
Preliminary Planned Unit Development
Project Description The petitioner is proposing a full redevelopment of the existing Feather Factory
manufacturing building property at 414 E. Golf Road with a 449-unit apartment
building with amenities and a commercial out-lot. The petitioner also plans to
relocate an existing commercial cell tower facility to another portion of the
subject property. The subject property currently consists of three separate lots
totaling 6.49-acres containing the 2-story, 106,846-square foot Feather Factory
building, 78 space surface parking area, commercial cell tower facility with
enclosure, and public access road to the Metra commuter parking lot. The
existing public access road to the Metra parking lot is located partially within
the boundaries of the subject property and partially on the Union Pacific
Railroad right-of-way pursuant to an existing easement agreement between the
Union Pacific Railroad and subject property owner. This easement agreement
will be renegotiated and presented at time of Final Planned Unit Development.
The proposed development will consist of:
- A six-story, 449-unit apartment building, 494 parking spaces (441 internal
and 53 surface), and multiple activity areas for residents;
- A one-story, 2,000-square foot commercial building with patio area,
drive-through, and thirteen parking spaces; and
- A relocated cell tower area with an approximate 30-foot by 40-foot
enclosure.
The entire project will be broken into two phases:
- Phase 1, scheduled between May 2021 and December 2022, includes a
portion of the 6-story apartment building with 284 apartments, 292 internal
parking spaces, ground floor lobby area, second floor amenity areas
totaling around 394,678-square feet, approximately one acre of near term
Page 2 of 47
open space for use of residents until the start of Phase 2, surface parking
areas including the separate 19-space main entry and 34 space surface
parking lots, 0.5-acre open space for residents, and the one-story
commercial out-lot area. Phase 1 also includes the relocation of the existing
cell tower and realignment of the Golf Road/Wolf Road intersection with
new-dedicated turn lanes into the site.
- Phase 2, scheduled between September 2022 and October 2024, will
include the rest of the 6-story apartment building totaling 165 apartment
units with approximately sixteen studios, 114 one-bedroom apartments,
and 35 two-bedroom units.
At this time, the petitioner is requesting the following exceptions to the current
Zoning Ordinance for mixed-use Planned Unit Developments:
- A building height exception of 71’-4” where the maximum allowed is 45
feet for building within the C-3 zoning district.
- A minimum lot area exception of 996-square feet per unit for Phase 1 and
630-square foot per unit for Phase 2 where the minimum lot area is 1,815-
square feet per unit.
The complete proposal includes the installation of 494 total parking spaces for
the apartment building and thirteen parking spaces for the stand-alone
commercial out-lot proposed to be a quick service food establishment. Pursuant
to Section 12-9-7 of the Zoning Ordinance, a quick service food establishment
commercial use, classified as a Class B restaurant, requires either one space for
every 50-square feet of floor area or one space for every four seats, whichever
is greater, plus one space for every three employees. Previously, all multiple-
family dwellings were required to have a minimum of two spaces per dwelling
unit with no delineation between dwelling unit type. However, in March 2020,
Ordinance Z-9-20 lowered the required off-street parking requirements for
efficiency, one-bedroom, one bedroom plus den, two-bedroom, and three or
more bedroom units on C-3 Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development zoned lots
that are within 2,500-feet of an operational passenger rail train station. The new
parking standards are summarized below:
Revised Parking Regulations for C-3 PUD Zoned Lots
Residential Use Required
Spaces
Efficiency and one-bedroom units in the R-4, C-5 and C-3
Mixed-Use PUD lots
1 space per
dwelling unit
One-bedroom plus den and two-bedroom units in the R-4,

Multi-Family dwelling units with three or more bedrooms
in the R-4 and C-3 Mixed-Use PUD lots
2.25 spaces per
dwelling unit
Dwellings, multiple-family in all districts approved for such
use, except the R-4, C-5, and C-3 Mixed-Use PUD lots
2 spaces per
dwelling unit
*The parking standards that apply to the proposed development are bolded and
italicized.
Page 3 of 47
Moreover, the total number of parking spaces required for the proposed
development pursuant to Section 12-9-7 are 492 spaces for the multiple-family
apartment development. At this time, the total number of parking spaces
required for the proposed 2,000-square foot commercial building are not
available since the end user for this building has not been finalized. However,
the petitioner has proposed a total of thirteen spaces for the out-lot at this time.
The total proposed parking counts provided by the petitioner are shown below:
Residential Use Number of Units Proposed Spaces
Dwelling, Efficiency (Studio) 65 units 65 (1 per unit)
Dwelling, One Bedroom 299 units 299 units (1 per unit)
Dwelling, Two Bedroom 85 units 128 spaces (1.5 per
unit)
Commercial Building Class B
Restaurant
13 spaces (6.5 per
1,000-sq. ft. of gross
floor area)
The attached traffic statement discusses the parking and trip generation for the
apartment development and commercial out-lot in more detail (Attachment 7).
Map Amendment & Conditional Use
Project Description: The petitioner has requested a map amendment to rezone the subject property
from M-1, Limited Manufacturing to C-3, General Commercial to
accommodate the proposed apartment development and commercial out-lot on
the subject property. It is appropriate to rezone the subject property from M-1
to C-3 to accommodate both uses since mixed-use Planned Unit Developments
are allowed as a conditional use in the C-3 zoning district pursuant to Section
12-3-5-1. The petitioner has requested an exception to the bulk regulation for
building height since the proposed apartment building will exceed the 45-foot
maximum height restriction in the C-3 district. However, the proposed
apartment building will meet all other C-3 bulk regulations as conceptually
shown in the table below:
Bulk Regulations for Proposed Restaurant Building
Yard Required Proposed
Front Yard (South) 5 Feet 10 – 25 Feet
Rear Yard (North) 25 Feet 30 Feet
Side Yard (East) 5 Feet 12 – 20 Feet
Side Yard (West) 5 Feet > 5 Feet
Building Height 45 Feet 71 Feet (six-stories)
*The petitioner has requested an exception to the building height regulation
for the C-3 zoning district.
Tentative Plat of Subdivision
Project Description: The petitioner has submitted a Tentative Plat of Subdivision request in order to
consolidate the existing three lots into one lot of record to reflect the
Page 4 of 47
redevelopment proposal of this property. The new, single lot of record will
encompass the entire proposed apartment development with its amenities,
commercial out-lot, cell tower enclosure, and retain the existing public access
road to the Metra parking lot as shown in the Tentative Plat of Subdivision
drawings (Attachment 5).
There are existing easements in the subject property today that will need to be
addressed to accommodate this new development proposal. The existing access
easements under Document #T1997027 allowing public access to the
Cumberland Metra Station along Northwest Highway and commuter parking
lot will need to be altered to allow for the realignment of this roadway in
coordination with the proposed Golf Road/Wolf Road/Seegers Road
intersection reconstruction. There is also a sanitary district easement under
Document #T1427055 for a large combined sewer line located along portions
of the north/northwest property line. The petitioner has noted that this easement
will not be altered or affected in any way from the proposed development.
Additionally, there is an unrecorded use and access easement for the existing
cell tower located on the northwest side of the Feather Factory building. The
proposal includes the relocation of this cell tower on site or in the immediate
vicinity with a revised easement agreement.
Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan
There are several parts of the City of Des Plaines’ 2019 Comprehensive Plan that align with the proposed
project. Those portions are as follows:
• Under Future Land Use Map:
o The property is marked for higher density urban mix with residential use. The proposed
development will take advantage of a well-located site next to Cumberland Metra Station,
abutting main arterial corridors in Des Plaines, and general proximity to established residential
neighborhoods.
o The proposal would satisfy the goal to expand mixed-use developments in the Cumberland
Metra Station and provide increased density and mixed uses within this area.
• Under Economic Development:
o The Comprehensive Plan recognizes the economic vitality of the surrounding area and its
importance to the broader region. The proposed redevelopment of this site would be in keeping
with prior development efforts and transform a currently vacant building into a new
development center for the surrounding area.
o This proposal would also provide additional housing options for residents, especially those
who utilize Metra to commute to and from work, and create a new Transit-Oriented
Development hub in a portion of the City where there currently is none.
Compliance with the Cumberland Station Area TOD Plan
There are several parts of the City of Des Plaines’ 2010 Cumberland Station Area TOD Plan that align with
the proposed project. Those portions are as follows:
• This proposal coincides with the top-priority goal to reconfigure the Golf Road/Wolf Road/Seegers
Road intersection, as this is a main component of the new development.
• This proposal also transforms an existing property that is characterized of being more auto-oriented
into a transit-oriented development focused around high-density residential units and an accessory
commercial component.
• The proposal also facilitates a better environment for pedestrian access and circulation by improving
access to and from the Cumberland Metra Station and parking lot.

Conditional Use and PUD Findings
As required, the proposed development is reviewed below in terms of the findings contained in Section 3.5-5
of the Zoning Ordinance:
A. The extent to which the Proposed Plan is or is not consistent with the stated purpose of the PUD
regulations in Section 12-3.5-1 and is a stated Conditional Use in the subject zoning district:
Comment: A PUD is a listed conditional use in the C-3 zoning district. The proposed project meets the stated
purpose of the PUD. Additionally, the redevelopment of the subject parcels will enhance the neighboring area,
but also be cognizant of nearby land uses. Please also see the responses from the applicant.
B. The extent to which the proposed plan meets the prerequisites and standards of the planned unit
development regulations:
Comment: The proposed development will be in keeping with the City’s prerequisites and standards
regarding planned unit development regulations. Please also see the responses from the applicant.
C. The extent to which the proposed plan departs from the applicable zoning and subdivision
regulations otherwise applicable to the subject property, including, but not limited to the density,
dimension, area, bulk, and use and the reasons why such departures are or are not deemed to be in the
public interest:
Comment: The proposed project is in-line with the intent of a PUD as there are exceptions being requested
to accommodate the scale of the proposed apartment building and the variety of uses planned for this mixed-
use development. Additionally, some of the proposed exceptions are being requested to cover existing
improvements such as the building height and the minimum lot areas for the variety of dwelling unit types.
Please also see the responses from the applicant.
D. The extent to which the physical design of the proposed development does or does not make adequate
provision for public services, provide adequate control of vehicular traffic, provide for, protect open
space, and further the amenities of light and air, recreation and visual enjoyment:
Comment: All provisions for public services, adequate traffic control and the protection of open space are
being accommodated in the proposed development. Moreover, the reconfigured Golf Road/Wolf
Road/Seegers Road intersection will help guide motorists and pedestrians onto the new development and
address many of the existing traffic concerns in this area. Please also see the responses from the applicant.
E. The extent to which the relationship and compatibility of the proposed development is beneficial or
adverse to adjacent properties and neighborhood:
Comment: The proposed development complements existing development to the north and extends the
commercial and residential development mix intended for the higher density urban mix with residential future
land use, which is designated for this property. Additionally, considerations will be made to reduce any impact
on the nearby residential uses from light and noise pollution. Please also see the responses from the applicant.
F. The extent to which the proposed plan is not desirable to physical development, tax base and
economic well-being of the entire community:
Comment: The proposed project will contribute to an improved physical appearance within the City by
constructing a new apartment building and commercial out-lot with several amenities and open space, which
will contribute positively to the tax base and economic well-being of the community. Please also see the
responses from the applicant.
G. The extent to which the proposed plan is in conformity with the recommendations of the 2019
Comprehensive Plan:
Page 6 of 47
Comment: The proposed development meets the goals, objectives and recommendations of the 2019
Comprehensive Plan. Please also see the responses from the applicant.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The following is a narrative summary for the initial application of a Preliminary Planned Unit Development (PUD)
for the subject property (“Site”) located at 414 E. Golf Road in the City of Des Plaines. The development site is
currently occupied by a vacant industrial facility and is zoned M-1 Limited Manufacturing.
The applicant is proposing a new multi-family residential development, accompanied by a free-standing commercial
use bisected by a reconstructed access drive that will align with the intersection of N. Wolf Road and E. Golf Road.
The proposed residential development – branded as Cumberland Crossing – will be built in two subsequent phases,
with both phases ultimately combining as one building with common lobby and amenity spaces. 284 apartment
units are proposed in Phase 1, with an additional 165 units in Phase 2, totaling 449 units upon full build out. The
proposed parking count is 494 spaces, with a cumulative ratio of 1.1 spaces per unit, which meets current code
requirements for a mixed-use development in a Transportation Overlay District.
The site is immediately adjacent to the Cumberland Metra Station parking lot to the (north). Access to the Metra
parking lot is provided by an access road that is partially located on the subject property, with the remaining
portions of the access drive located on Union Paciϐic right-of-way.
Site Context Map
Attachment 1 Page 8 of 47
6 CUMBERLAND CROSSING | PRELIMINARY PUD SUBMISSION
SITE CONTEXT
The Site is 6.49 acres, and is currently occupied by a vacant 106,900 square foot industrial/warehouse building.
Surface parking lots are located along the southern portions of the property line along the Golf/Wolf Road frontage.
A truck loading and fenced-in storage area is located on the north/northwest side of the existing buildings, which
has little other improvements aside from an existing cellular tower that is proposed to be replaced or relocated. The
western edge of the property is bound by an existing access road off of Golf Road, which provides access to the onsite
parking areas, loading areas, and the Cumberland Metra station and commuter parking lot to the north. This access
road is partially located on the subject property and subject to easement agreements, noted in further detail below.
Including the above-mentioned access road, vehicular circulation routes exist on all sides of the property, with no
occupiable land uses immediately adjacent. The Cumberland Metra Station commuter parking lot is located to the
immediate north of the site, which provides access to the Cumberland Metra Station just north of the parking lot.
The south/southeast sides of the property are bound by Golf Road and Wolf Road, respectively, with a mix of
multi-family residential, single-family residential, and commercial and automotive service beyond opposite those
roadways. The Wolf Road frontage has a notable grade separation due to an existing retaining wall that increases in
height towards the east corner of the property.
The west side of the property is adjacent to a Union Paciϐic freight line, which includes a portion of the existing site
access drive. Beyond the freight rail line is an existing single-family residential neighborhood, which largely faces
way from the subject property. Upon completion, the proposed residential building will be roughly 150 feet from
the nearest single-family property line, and roughly 180 to 230 feet from the closest single-family structures.
Easements and Use Agreements
There are several easements and use agreements in place on the Site today, which will need to revised or redrafted
as part of this development proposal.
• Easements allowing public access to the Cumberland Metra Station and commuter parking lot (per
Document T1997027) will remain, but will require amendment to accommodate the proposed access drive
realignment. This effort is anticipated to involve the Site owner, City of Des Plaines, Metra, and Union Paciϐic.
Union Paciϐic also owns/controls portions of the access road, which is bisected by both UP land and the
subject property line.
• A Sanitary District easement runs along substantial portions of the north/northwest property line, which
will remain in place (per Document T1427055). This easement contains and provides access to a substantial
MWRDGC combined sewer line, and will not be encumbered by the proposed development.
• A cellular tower exists on the northwest side of the existing building, which is covered by an unrecorded
use and access agreement. This tower will be necessarily relocated or replaced with a new location and
apparatus on Site or in the immediate vicinity. Further coordination on this matter with the property owner,
tower operator, and City of Des Plaines is anticipated in advance of the Final PUD application.

POLICY CONTEXT
The proposed development directly conforms with a number of the City’s top policy and economic development
goals, informed by several studies and extended planning processes – and represents a unique opportunity for
strategic implementation and advancement of stated goals.
2019 Comprehensive Plan
As proposed, the plan for 414 E. Golf Road is supported by the top two “Overarching Principles” noted of the
Comprehensive Plan (page 8), which directly reference the Cumberland Metra Station and surrounding district. This
includes the priority to:
• Expand Mixed-Use Development – The City should focus its efforts on expanding mixed-use developments
in the Downtown, near the Cumberland Metra Station, and along the Oakton Street Corridor. Mixed-use
developments encourage development within compact areas of land, reduce trafϔic and pollution, and
contribute to the creation of a pedestrian-friendly environment.
• Provide a Range of Housing Options – In addition to mixed-use development, the City should be open to the
development of high-quality townhomes and other multiple-unit residences that would provide convenient
access to shopping, civic uses, and open space. Downtown Des Plaines and the stretch of Northwest Highway
near the Cumberland Metra Station are already home to a variety of housing types; these units provide valuable
housing options for the community and allow people to live within close walking distance of several amenities…
Future Land Use
In addition to advancing top policy
objectives, the Site is speciϐically
identiϐied in the community’s Future
Land Use Map on page 14, as a location
for ‘High Density Urban Mix with
Residential’ (HDUMR), the same land
use designation as shown within the
downtown core. Furthermore, the site
is by far the largest property within the
Cumberland Station’s HDUMR cluster,
as well as the most proximate to the
station. Combined, these factors present
the City with the single most impactful
opportunity to implement new
multi-family development at suitable
density and volume to help realize
it’s envisioned land use and economic
development goals.
Attachment 1 Page 11 of 47
7/24/2020 9
Other associated land use policies in support of the proposed development include:
• Land Use Plan, Residential (page 11) – A primary goal of the Des Plaines Comprehensive Plan is to preserve
and enhance established single-family neighborhoods, while expanding denser housing options. To accomplish
this, the Land Use Plan underscores the desire for attached Single-Family and multifamily developments in
the Downtown, near the Cumberland Metra Station, and along the Oakton Street Corridor.
• Multifamily (page 12) – The Land Use Plan supports the development of high quality multifamily housing
located in denser areas near multi-modal facilities...
Transportation
The proposed plan also incorporates and helps to implement several of the transportation goals and Recommended
Priority Improvements identiϐied in the Comprehensive Plan. These include the realignment and enhancement of
bike & pedestrian facilities at the Golf & Wolf Road intersection, and completion of a critical northern link of the
proposed Wolf Road Bikeway connecting Cumberland Metra Station to Maine West High School (Items E & 3 –
Recommended Pedestrian and Bike Improvements map on page 38).
2010 Cumberland Station Area TOD Plan
The Cumberland Station TOD Plan analyzed the Cumberland station area and provided guidance on how to attract
transit-supportive development and establish a range of pedestrian improvements within a ¼ mile of the station.
Ultimately, the plan identiϐied a range of Key Initiatives for implementation in both short- and long-term, of which
several are of directly relevance to the subject Site. Notable examples include:
• Reconϔiguration of the Golf/Wolf/Seegers Intersection. This enhancement was identiϐied as a top short-
term priority, and is now included as an essential component of the proposed plan for the Site.
• Facilitation of private-driven redevelopment of large auto-oriented sites into transit-supportive uses.
This key long-term initiative reϐlects the desire to redevelop the subject property, primarily as a dense,
residential development. Another aspect of the envisioned long-range master plan concept includes a
small new commercial use in the immediate proximity of the realigned Golf/Wolf intersection, which is also
included in the proposed Site Plan.
While the current proposal enables the substantial realization and implementation of the Cumberland Station Area
TOD Plan there are a few departures from the envisioned development concept, which was prepared in 2010 and
have since been determined to be infeasible based on current market trends and conditions. Examples include the
subdivision of the property by a new central access drive, resulting in a dramatic reduction in land use efϐiciency;
inclusion of lower-density building types that are not able to adequately support the land and infrastructure costs
associated with the envisioned development; and inclusion of condominiums, which are not considered feasible
under current conditions.
A market snapshot has been provided as part of this application and summarized later in this narrative, which
identiϐies the range of densities and unit types that are more appropriately suited to modern transit-oriented
development projects – and supported by the current real estate market.

10 CUMBERLAND CROSSING | PRELIMINARY PUD SUBMISSION
ZONING
The proposed zoning for the Site would replace the current M-1 Limited Manufacturing zoning with C-3 General
Commercial zoning, with conditional use as a Mixed-Use Development.
The underlying C-3 designation is consistent with neighboring C-3 zoned properties to the immediate south and
east, and with the bulk of the Cumberland Station Area properties located along the north side of Northwest
Highway. Conditional use as a Mixed Use Development is supported by the site’s proximity to the Cumberland Metra
Station and intended character and use identiϐied in the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Cumberland Station Area
TOD Plan as outlined above.
A property with existing multi-family residential uses is located to immediate east of the Site across Golf Road,
which is zoned R-3 Townhouse Residential. An R-1 Single Family Residential district is located to the southeast of
the Site beyond the Golf/Wolf/Seeger intersection.
To the west of the site is an existing neighborhood with R-1 Single-Family zoning, however these properties are not
immediately adjacent and separated from the Site by an existing Union Paciϐic freight line.

Variations to Bulk Standards
The following major variations to the City's bulk standards for development within a C-3 General Commercial District
and/or as a conditional use as a Mixed Use Development within a C-3 General Commercial District are anticipated:
• Minimum Lot Area – the proposed residential development exceeds minimum lot area requirements of 1,815
square feet per unit (24 units/acre) for C-3 Mixed Use developments. Proposed densities are consistent with
comparable TOD projects within the City and surrounding region. See the Real Estate Market Conditions section
of this narrative for additional information about relevant examples.
• Height – the proposed height of 71'-4" exceeds the maximum permitted height of 45’. The proposed
development is six-stories tall, including ϐive ϐloors of residential use over one ϐloor of podium parking.

12 CUMBERLAND CROSSING | PRELIMINARY PUD SUBMISSION
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The plan for the redevelopment of 414 E. Golf as Cumberland
Crossing – a new mixed use, transit-supportive development
– will pursue a two-phased approach to redevelopment of
the Site, where the bulk of site and access improvements
are provided in the ϐirst phase, alongside the substantial
completion of the proposed residential building and retail
out lot. Phase 2 will occur upon successful completion and
substantial lease up of the Phase 1 building. While this
phased approach provides an added degree of ϐlexibility to
adapt to future market conditions and timing, the proposed
residential development is designed in a manner that
allows for the ϐinal product to both appear and function as
a cohesive whole. Furthermore, the proposed plan ensures
that the bulk of site and neighborhood facing improvements
are provided as part of the ϐirst phase, while also minimizing
perceived external impacts through strategic Phase 1
building placement – ultimately enabling a more gradual
transition of density and intensity of use over time. An
outline of the proposed plan metrics, and more detailed
overview of the proposed building and site enhancements is
outline below – and in the attached plan exhibits.

Residential Development
The proposed two phase, transit-oriented multi-family development will consist of a six story podium-style building
with ground ϐloor covered parking and ϐive ϐloors of apartments above podium level, split into two buildings. In
addition to parking, the ground ϐloor will include a common two-story lobby, leasing ofϐices, mailroom, bicycle storage,
and trash collection rooms. Phase I parking garage will include approximately 294 parking spaces and Phase II parking
garage will include 147 parking spaces. When completed, internal parking between Phase I and Phase II will be
connected through common drive aisles. An additional 53 outdoor parking spaces will be provided for a total of 494
spaces. Two loading areas for move-ins/move-outs will be provided. Phase I loading space is located in the parking lot
at the northwest portion of the site and Phase II loading/drop-off space is located along the main entry circular drive.
A portion of the second ϐloor will be occupied by an approximately 7,000 sf amenity space, which will include a lounge
area, community kitchen, event room, game room, ϐitness and yoga, as well as common restrooms. The centrally
located amenity area will be directly accessible from an approximately 34,678 sf Phase I green roof/terrace and 11,545
sf Phase II green roof/terrace. The terrace will include a pool, spa, outdoor grilling area, sitting areas, yoga lawn, event
lawn, and outdoor theater. Second ϐloor apartment units facing the green roof will include private patios.
Luxury apartment units will occupy the remaining portion of second ϐloor as well as ϐloors three through six. A
mix of studios, one- and two-bedroom units will be provided. Phase I will consist of approximately 49 studios,
185 one-bedroom units, and 50 two-bedroom units, for a Phase I total of 284 units. Phase II will consist of
approximately 16 studios, 114 one-bedroom units, and 35 two-bedroom units, for a Phase II total of 165 units.
Phase I and II combined will house 449 apartment units. Apartment amenities will include 9 foot ceilings, stainless
steel appliances, tile backsplash, quartz counters, tile shower surrounds, smart thermostats, balconies, window
treatments, wide plank vinyl ϐlooring, in-unit laundry, high speed internet access and keyless apartment entry locks.

14 CUMBERLAND CROSSING | PRELIMINARY PUD SUBMISSION
The contemporary building design will feature a complimentary mix of utility size face brick and preϐinished wood
grain texture ϐiber cement panels and siding. Two brick and three ϐiber cement colors are proposed. The podium
level will consist primarily of brick with louvered, and spandrel glass openings, accented by ϐiber cement siding
at corners and building insets. The upper portion of the building consists primary of ϐiber cement siding and
panels with brick extending up to and including the ϐifth ϐloor at prominent elements. A decorative metal canopy
is proposed at the roof level to accentuate building corners. Floor to ceiling windows and hanging metal balconies,
tied back to building complete the design.
Commercial Development
A small, 1-story commercial use of roughly 2,000 square feet is proposed in the southern portion of the Site, in close
proximity to the realigned intersection of Wolf and Golf Roads. The location and orientation of this use is intended
to take advantage of the intersection’s high visibility and convenience for daily commuters coming and going from
the Cumberland Metra Station – and for residents living within walking distance of the Site. A speciϐic tenant has
not yet been conϐirmed at the time of this application, however the desired intent of the use is for a limited service
and convenience-oriented food & beverage provider such as a coffee shop. Drive-thru service and ease of access are
critical operational features. Indoor seating is expected to be limited in response to both the size and nature of the
anticipated service model. The Site Plan shows 13 head-in/angled parking spaces, along with six to eight stacking
spaces associated with the drive thru to support the anticipated use – all of which would be accessed through a
one-way loop off of the realigned access drive. Some outdoor seating and decorative landscaping is also included as
part of the proposed plan. Though the speciϐic location and design are not yet determined, building signage and a
free-standing sign element along Golf Road are anticipated.
Proposed Commercial Use ConceptWhile the building’s architectural
style and character will be largely
inϐluenced by the future tenant’s
corporate design standards. However,
it is expected that the building’s
design and aesthetic qualities will also
complement the proposed residential
development and adequately reϐlect
the important and highly visible
location at the ‘front door’ of the
Cumberland Crossing project site and
Cumberland Metra Station beyond it.
Attachment 1 Page 17 of 47

Site Access & Circulation
Vehicular Access
As noted previously, the proposed development will be loaded off of the existing Metra Station access drive, which
will be partially realigned to connect with the intersection of Wolf & Golf Roads. Additional study of the intersection
realignment’s geometrics and coordination with associated agencies – including the City of Des Plaines, IDOT, and
Union Paciϐic – is required, however the proposed plan is directly supported by numerous policy recommendations
and past site and area planning efforts. This improvement will provide greater control and visibility to cars entering
and travelling through the Site, while also increasing the distance between the primary access point and existing at-
grade rail crossing at Golf Road a the southern end of the property.
Upon entering the Site the primary access drive will generally follow the course of the existing road, which will
be enhanced with streetscape furnishings – including new decorative lighting and street trees located within a
tree lawn, providing a buffer between the road and adjacent sidewalk. A minimum curb to curb width of 26 feet is
proposed in accordance with recommendations provided by the City during the Technical Review process in order
to ensure adequate access for ϐire and safety services.
The existing access drive connection at Golf Road is currently shown as remaining in the proposed site plan, however it
is anticipated that this entrance will be converted to limited access – allowing for only right-in/right-out, right-out only,
or emergency access only – if not removed. Further study of this access point is expected and will be supported by the
development team’s trafϐic and engineering consultants, as well as input from City, IDOT, and Union Paciϐic.
Additional information regarding projected trafϔic impacts is provided in the attached Trafϔic Impact Statement
prepared by KLOA.
Building Access
Two vehicular entry and exit points are planned for the parking garage, one for Phase I and a second for Phase II,
both accessed from a common circle drive located at the western portion of the site. The circle drive will feature
decorative landscaping and paving and provided additional loading/drop-off areas in close proximity to the
building’s main entrance. In addition to the main entrance, additional pedestrian access points are provided on
the west, north, and east sides of the building, which will be controlled to ensure security. The northern building
entrance is located to allow direct, convenient access to the Metra Station, and will feature decorative landscaping
and lighting, and a commuter lobby that further enhance the project’s transit-supportive nature.
Bike & Pedestrian Circulation
The proposed plan will enable pedestrian circulation around all sides of the building, providing multiple routes
and linkages for both residents of the new development and the surrounding neighborhoods. These routes will be
improved with decorative landscaping and lit to ensure safety and comfort and align with essential street crossings.
The existing sidewalk along the east side of the site – along the Golf and Wolf Road frontages – will also be widened
to ten feet to allow for a new multi-use path in support of City and County efforts to implement a network of
local and regional bike trails. To support this use, an improved and expanded bike parking area is proposed at
the easternmost corner of the subject property and on the Metra Commuter lot (southeast corner). The strategic
location of this facility is intended to allow for convenient access from the proposed bike route, while also helping
to mitigate conϐlicts with pedestrian activity in closer proximity to the station platform entrance and discourage
potentially dangerous crossing behavior of the tracks. Further coordination with the City, Metra, and Union Paciϐic is
required in designing and implementing this facility.
Attachment 1 Page 18 of 47
16 CUMBERLAND CROSSING | PRELIMINARY PUD SUBMISSION
Landscaping & Open Space
Similar to the building’s architecture, the proposed Site landscaping employs a ‘four-sided’ approach where all sides
of the proposed building feature high-quality perimeter landscaping. The planting plan will include a mix of canopy,
evergreen, and ornamental trees, as well as an array of seasonal and perennial planting beds that meet the City’s
landscape standards while also complementing the aesthetic character of the building. Special attention will be paid
to landscaping at the main entrance and at the commuter entrance on the north side of the building, which will be
highly visible from the Metra commuter lot.
Open Spaces
The proposed building includes a substantial amount of open space in the form of a second-story green-roof and
amenity deck. Upon completion of both phases, the roof deck will total over 1 acre in size, and provide building
residents and guests with a wide range of on-site amenities and activities. An additional half-acre of passive open
space is provided in the northwest corner of the property, whose use may change over time to support the interests
of the building’s residents. In Phase 1, the extents of the Phase 2 building envelope will be utilized as additional
ground-level open space, providing an additional acre of ϐlexible use space for residents. In whole, the proposed plan
incorporates roughly 2.3 acres of usable open space in Phase 1 and 1.5 acres of space upon the completion of Phase 2.
Site Buffering
While the intention of the landscape plan is to enhance views and connectivity between the Site, surrounding
streets and commuter lot, additional landscape buffering is proposed along the western edge of the site between
the main access drive and neighboring Union Paciϐic freight line. This buffer, which would include new evergreens
and canopy trees will help to minimize visual and auditory impacts to both residents of the new building and of the
existing single-family neighborhood to the west. Similarly, the location and layout of the proposed building allows
for both increased sun exposure for on-site amenity spaces and units, while also effectively avoiding reductions of
sun exposure on any nearby or neighboring homes.
Grading & Drainage
Based on an analysis of the property and proposed site development plan, the majority of stormwater detention will
be provided by a constructed vault located below portions of the Phase 1 building footprint. Site volume control
will be primarily addressed through the use of CA-7 stone within the aforementioned detention vault, through
capture and inϐiltration on portions of the second story green roof, and with permeable pavers located on residential
building's main entrance drive.
A preliminary approach to stormwater management has been prepared by Spaceco (see attached Preliminary
Grading and Utility Plan).

REAL ESTATE MARKET CONDITIONS
SB Friedman Development Advisors has been commissioned to develop a market analysis of the Site and associated
development proposal – including a special focus on market rate apartment trends and standards. A thorough
review of ϐindings is included with this application, however key ϐindings from their analysis include:
• The overall unit density for Cumberland Crossing is comparable to recently delivered apartment projects
in the market. As shown in the chart below, the proposed ϐinal density of 69.2 units per acre (du/ac) falls
within the range of comparable projects within the region (ranging from 42 du/ac to 87 du/ac). Furthermore,
the proposed Phase 1 density is 43.8 du/ac, which sits at the lowest end of the comparable project range. By
carrying out the development in the phased manner as proposed, the plan allows for the Site to be initially
implemented at a minimum market threshold and then be increased in density over time as the Cumberland
Station Area matures.
• Cumberland Crossing’s proposed unit mix
favors studio and one-bedroom apartment
units. The balance of unit types proposed
has been tailored in response to leasing
trends at other nearby comparable projects,
including Buckingham Place. As a result, over
80% of the proposed units are studios or
one-bedroom apartments, which is a higher
proportion than other apartment projects
in the market. This approach is based on
observed market trends which show a shift
towards smaller apartment units in new
apartment projects, which have been more
successful in leasing up smaller end units.

414 E. Golf Road – Cumberland Crossing
Standards of Conditional Use Responses
Responses to the City’s Standards for Conditional Use are provided below.
1. The proposed conditional use is in fact a conditional use established within the specific zoning district
involved;The proposed mixed-use development for 414 E. Golf Road is a permitted conditional use as stated in the City’s Municipal Code under Section 12-3-5-1: Mixed Use Developments, under sub-section C. Special Uses; and meets the purpose and intent of sub-section A.
A.Statement Of Purpose: The purpose and intent of these provisions is to permit the construction of
residential dwelling units on the same zoning lot as commercial developments.
C.Special Uses:
1.Mixed use developments are allowed as a conditional use in the C-3 general commercial zoning
districts.
2. The proposed conditional use is in accordance with the objectives of the city's comprehensive plan and
this title;The proposed development accomplishes the objectives of allowing a mixed-use development as a conditional use, which are stated in 12-3-5-1.B:
1.Contribute to the economic viability of existing commercial areas; and
2.Encourage the implementation of innovative housing options, by providing alternatives to the
typical detached single-family dwelling unit.The proposed development would contribute substantially to the viability of nearby businesses and efforts to attract new businesses by both providing an increase in the local population, and serving as a highly-visible, landmark development that anchors the City’s efforts to promote the Cumberland Metra Station Area as a transit-oriented district. The proposed development also provides a range of multi-family residential unit types and sizes, with a unit mix that has been purposefully designed to fully satisfy the housing needs of people seeking to live in Des Plaines and is consistent with other transit-oriented development projects within the City and surrounding region. Overall, the proposed development fulfills the City’s long-time land use, economic development, and transportation goals for both the site and surrounding district, and is consistent with ‘High Density Urban Mix with Residential’ future land use designation identified for the site in the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
AUGUST 19, 2020
Attachment 2 Page 22 of 47
Page 2
3. The proposed conditional use is designed, constructed, operated, and maintained so as to be
harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general
vicinity; The proposed development is indicative of a modern transit-oriented development, which aims to increase residential density and overall activity within close proximity to regional transit infrastructure. The scale, style, and four-sided architectural design of the proposed residential building lend prominence to the site on par with its strategic location within the Cumberland Station Area District, and as a northern gateway into the community.
4. The proposed conditional use is not hazardous or disturbing to existing neighboring uses; The proposed development is consistent with best practices for mixed-use and multi-family residential development within a transit-oriented district, and satisfies a number of the City’s stated land use and economic development goals. In developing the property, a range of streetscape and public realm enhancements will be implemented throughout the site that help to improve pedestrian access, safety, and comfort – most notably for Metra commuters. Landscape enhancements will also greatly improve conditions along the perimeter of the site, and provide increased buffering between the Metra Station, proposed building(s) and nearby residential neighborhoods. In addition, the traffic improvements will also benefit the surrounding neighborhood.
5. The proposed conditional use is to be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such
as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer,
and schools; or the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed conditional
use shall provide adequately any such services; The design of the proposed site and building plans provide adequate provision for public services, control over vehicular traffic, provide and protect common open areas for building residents, and further amenities of light, air, recreation, and visual enjoyment. Where modifications to essential public facilities are proposed – such as the partial realignment and enhancement of the existing Metra Station access drive – the applicant will work with the City and other associated stakeholders and agencies to ensure that adequate and appropriate use of public facilities are maintained.
6. The proposed conditional use does not create excessive additional requirements at public expense for
public facilities and services and not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community; The proposed mixed-use development realizes a number of long-term goals for the City ranging from the 2010 Cumberland Station Area TOD Plan to the 2019 Comprehensive Plan update. This includes a number of substantial site improvements that will enhance conditions for future residents, Metra commuters, and the community at-large. Notable examples include a realignment and improvement of the Metra Station access drive at the intersection of Wolf & Golf Roads; enhanced pedestrian access, safety, and comfort around all sides of the property; and a partial completion of the Evanston-Elgin Regional Bikeway proposed by the Northwest Municipal Council.
Attachment 2 Page 23 of 47
Page 3
7. The proposed conditional use does not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and
conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or the general welfare by
reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors; The proposed development – consistent with standards and guidelines for mixed-use and multi-family residential developments – does not involve or include detrimental uses or activities. Furthermore, the proposed use is consistent the City’s own stated land use goals for the site and represents a substantial improvement from the property’s past use as a light manufacturing facility. It is anticipated that the location of the property immediately adjacent to the Metra train station will increase Metra ridership and reduce congestion.
8. The proposed conditional use provides vehicular access to the property designed that does not create
an interference with traffic on surrounding public thoroughfares; Adequate provisions will be made for the safe ingress and egress and minimal disruption of traffic based on the findings and recommendations of the traffic study included with the Preliminary PUD Application. Notably, the proposal includes a partial reconstruction of the existing Cumberland Metra Station access drive to enable alignment and completion of the Golf & Wolf Road intersection. This enhancement would provide a safer, more controlled entrance to the site for both pedestrians and vehicles, and complete a long-standing priority of the City as noted in both the Comprehensive Plan and 2010 Cumberland Station TOD Plan. In respect to the proposed multi-family residential building, the development meets the City’s access and circulation requirements as determined during an initial review by the City’s Technical Review Board in November 2019.
9. The proposed conditional use does not result in the destruction, loss, or damage of a natural, scenic, or
historic feature of major importance; and No natural, scenic, or historical features of major importance exist on the property, which is currently occupied by a now vacant light-manufacturing facility, access road, surface parking lot, and truck loading area.
10. The proposed conditional use complies with all additional regulations in this title specific to the
conditional use requested The proposed development complies with all additional regulations in this title as well as the applicable standards within a C-3 General Commercial District, with the exception of any variances identified and described in the applicant’s Responses to PUD Standards submitted as part of the initial Preliminary PUD application to the City on July 24th, 2020.

RESPONSES TO PUD STANDARDS
E. Findings: The planning and zoning board and the city council, in their review of planned unit
development applications, shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed planned
unit development and recommend or authorize approval, approval with modiϐications, or disapproval of the
planned unit development in terms of the following ϐindings to the extent applicable:
1. The extent to which the proposed plan is or is not consistent with the stated purpose of the planned unit
development regulations set forth in subsection A of this section;
The proposed Cumberland Crossing Planned Unit Development (PUD) is consistent with the stated purpose of
Section 12-3-5A – most notably in allowing for both a more efϐicient and more creative approach to the use of
land resulting in a better character and quality of design. In doing so, the proposal will also provide enhanced
access to the neighboring Cumberland Metra Station and associated commuter parking lot, including site,
streetscape, and public safety improvements far exceeding the current conditions of the site. In addition, the
proposed development is consistent with the stated objectives of the City’s Mixed Use Development standards
(Section 12-3-5-1B); while also supporting the community’s stated future land use goals of establishing a transit-
oriented development hub on surrounding lands to further bolster economic development.
2. The extent to which the proposed plan meets the requirements and standards of the planned unit
development regulations;
The proposed Cumberland Crossing Planned Unit Development is currently under uniϐied control and ownership
of Cumberland Crossing, LLC and at roughly 6.49 acres is larger than the minimum lot size of 2 acres as required
under C-3 General Commercial district zoning.
3. The extent to which the proposed plan departs from the zoning and subdivision regulations otherwise
applicable to the subject property, including, but not limited to, the density, dimension, area, bulk and use
and the reasons why such departures are or are not deemed to be in the public interest;
The proposed development meets or exceeds the following applicable regulations for the C-3 General
Commercial District and/or conditional use requirements as a Mixed Use Development within a C-3 General
Commercial District:
• The minimum size for a PUD in a C-3 District is 2 acres, the subject property is 6.49 acres.
• Setbacks – All proposed setbacks exceed the minimum standards for front (5’), side (5’), and rear yards
(25’). The minimum building setback for the proposed residential building (primary use) is 12 feet -
provided along the N. Wolf Road frontage and portions of the adjacent access drive on the southwest &
west sides of the proposed building. The northern (rear) building setback, adjacent to the Metra commuter
parking lot is 30 feet.
• Compatibility – the uses proposed for the site – multi-family residential and limited fast casual food &
beverage service – are typical of transit-oriented development sites and consistent with other neighboring
uses. Multi-family residential uses exist to the immediate east of the site across Wolf Road with commercial &
light industrial uses located to the south and east as well. The location of proposed uses within the PUD would
generally match these facing uses and feature street-level commercial use adjacent to the intersection of Wolf &
Golf Roads. Single-family uses to the west are separated from the new development by both an existing freight
rail corridor and enhanced access drive, in addition to new landscaping buffering around the perimeter of the
PUD STANDARDS

site. The Metra commuter lot to the north would be enhanced by adjacent perimeter landscaping, increased
pedestrian connectivity, and increased visibility, lighting, and building security measures.
• Parking – The proposed development meets the City’s on-site parking requirements for Mixed Use Developments.
• Trafϐic – Adequate provisions will be made for the safe ingress and egress and minimal disruption of trafϐic
based on the ϐindings and recommendations of the trafϐic study included with the Preliminary PUD Application.
Notably, the proposal includes a partial reconstruction of the existing Cumberland Metra Station access drive
to enable alignment and completion of the Golf & Wolf Road intersection. This enhancement would provide
a safer, more controlled entrance to the site for both pedestrians and vehicles, and complete a long-standing
priority of the City as noted in both the Comprehensive Plan and 2010 Cumberland Station TOD Plan.
• General Design – the general design of the building is anticipated to provide substantial improvements to the
current conditions of the site and surrounding vicinity. A ‘four-sided’ approach to architectural design has been
pursued, with each side of the proposed residential building featuring façade detailing and ornamentation.
Exceptions requested for:
• Density - the proposed residential development exceeds minimum lot area requirements of 1,815 square feet
per unit (24 units/acre) for C-3 Mixed Use developments, which is inconsistent with similar transit-oriented
development sites within the City and surrounding market area and therefore believed to be an undue burden.
The proposed minimum lot area for the total project is 630 square feet per unit (69.2 units/acre), however in
Phase 1 the proposed lot area is 996 square feet per unit (43.8 units/acre). Further examination of comparable
densities is provided in the Real Estate Market Conditions section of the Development Narrative.
• Height – the proposed height of 71'-4" exceeds the maximum permitted height of 45’.
4. The extent to which the physical design of the proposed plan does or does not make adequate provision
for public services, provide adequate control over vehicular trafϔic, provide for and protect designated
common open space, and further the amenities of light and air, recreation and visual enjoyment;
The design of the proposed site and building plans provide adequate provision for public services, control over
vehicular trafϐic, provide and protect common open areas for building residents, and further amenities of light,
air, recreation, and visual enjoyment.
The proposal incorporates a number of substantial site improvements that enhance conditions for future
residents, Metra commuters, and the community at-large. Notable examples include:
• Existing access road realignment and improvement to allow for a better controlled access point to the site
and greatly enhanced experience for commuters, buildings residents, and visitors alike, while also increasing
sight lines and distance from the existing Union Paciϐic freight line crossing at Golf Road. This enhancement
has been identiϐied as an important infrastructure priority in multiple plans adopted by the City.
• The proposed access road, existing Metra parking lot access lane, and proximity to Wolf Road allows for
adequate ϐire and emergency service access on all sides of the residential building.
• The plan increases pedestrian access and connectivity on and around the site, providing substantial
enhancements to the experience, comfort, and safety of people traveling by foot to both the proposed
development and Cumberland Metra Station.
• The sidewalk along the North Wolf Road and Golf Road frontages has been increased in width to 10 feet,
enabling an essential segment of the Northwest Municipal Council’s planned Evanston-Elgin Regional
Attachment 2 Page 26 of 47
7/24/2020 21
Bikeway. This connection also helps to advance the proposed Wolf Road bikeway – of the City’s ‘Priority
Improvements’ identiϐied in the Comprehensive Plan
• Upon completion, the proposed building plan provides new residents with just over one acre of common
open and amenity space, as well as another ½ acre of surface level open space. During Phase 1 of
implementation, the site would include an additional acre of surface-level open space. The majority of
proposed amenity deck open areas are aligned with a north-south axis providing increased sun exposure.
5. The extent to which the relationship and compatibility of the proposed plan is beneϔicial or adverse to
adjacent properties and neighborhood;
The proposed development is indicative of a modern transit-oriented development, which aims to increase
residential density and overall activity within close proximity to regional transit infrastructure. The scale, style,
and four-sided architectural design of the proposed residential building lend prominence to the site on par with
its strategic location within the neighborhood and as a northern gateway into the community.
In addition, substantial streetscape and perimeter landscaping enhancements on all sides of the development
would greatly enhance current conditions, and broadly promote walkability and pedestrian comfort and safety
within the surrounding neighborhoods and overall Cumberland Metra TOD Area district.
Furthermore, the proposed phased building approach also provide more a smoother land use transition over time
with Phase 1 building enhancements located primarily along the northern portions of the property adjacent to the
Cumberland Metra Station parking lot. The near-term impact of the project is also tempered by inclusion of an
additional one acre open space area in and lower density count in Phase 1 of the project. The majority of physical
site and community enhancements would also be implemented as part of Phase 1, substantially reducing risk of not
completing broader community goals, such as enhancing intersection and bike/pedestrian trail connectivity.
6. The extent to which the proposed plan is not desirable to the proposed plan to physical development, tax
base and economic well being of the entire community;
The proposed plan fulϐills a number of the City’s long-time land use, economic development, and transportation
goals, and offers a substantial improvement to property values and the tax base over the existing use – a vacant,
functionally obsolete light industrial facility. The development would provide a substantial beneϐit to local
businesses and the community’s efforts to attract new businesses. Furthermore, the development would provide
a boost to transit ridership and support the long-term viability of the Cumberland Metra Station,
7. The extent to which the proposed plan is not in conformity with the recommendations of the
comprehensive plan.
The proposed development is consistent with the ‘High Density Urban Mix with Residential’ future land use
designation identiϐied for the site in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Furthermore, the proposed PUD supports
the implementation of one of the City’s top ‘Overarching Principles’ of ‘Expanding Mixed-Use Development,
recommending to:
“… focus its efforts on expanding mixed-use developments in the Downtown, near the Cumberland Metra Station,
and along the Oakton Street Corridor. Mixed-use developments encourage development within compact areas of
land, reduce trafϔic and pollution, and contribute to the creation of a pedestrian-friendly environment”.

DATE: July 21, 2020
SUBJECT: Traffic Impact Statement
Proposed Cumberland Crossing Development
Des Plaines, Illinois
This memorandum summarizes the results and findings of a site traffic evaluation conducted by
Kenig, Lindgren, O’Hara, Aboona, Inc. (KLOA, Inc.) for Cumberland Crossing, a transit-oriented
development (TOD) to be located on the north side of Golf Road (Illinois Route 58) at its
signalized intersection with S. Wolf Road in Des Plaines, Illinois. As proposed, the site, which
currently contains a vacant industrial building, will be redeveloped with a six-story apartment
building with 449 units and an internal parking garage and a 2,000 square-foot fast casual
restaurant with a drive-through lane. Primary access to the development will be provided via a
proposed full movement access road that will form the fourth (north) leg of the signalized
intersection of Golf Road with S. Wolf Road.
The Union Pacific Northwest (UPNW) Metra commuter railway’s Cumberland station is located
approximately 200 feet north of the site and the primary commuter parking lot serving the station
borders the site to the north. As part of the development, the existing access roadway that connects
the parking lot to Golf Road will combined with the proposed access system allowing vehicles to
access the Metra commuter parking via the proposed access drive opposite Wolf Road. Further, at
its intersection with Golf Road, the access road will be restricted to right-turn outbound only
movements.
The purpose of this impact statement is to evaluate the trip generation characteristics of the
proposed development and the adequacy of the proposed access drive. Figure 1 shows an aerial
view of the site.
Existing Traffic Conditions
The following provides a detailed description of the physical characteristics of the roadways
including geometry and traffic control and average daily traffic volumes along the adjacent area
roadways.
Attachment 7 Page 38 of 47
Aerial View of Site Figure 1
Attachment 7 Page 39 of 47
Golf Road (Illinois Route 58) is generally an east-west, other principal arterial roadway that.
provides two lanes in each direction generally divided by a raised median. Between its
intersections with S. Wolf Road and State Street/Broadway Street/North Wolf Road, Golf Road
operates in a northeast-southwest direction. At its signalized intersection with S. Wolf Road, Golf
Road provides two through lanes and an exclusive right-turn lane on the eastbound approach and
an exclusive left-turn lane and two through lanes on the westbound approach. At its unsignalized
intersection with the Metra commuter parking lot access road, Golf Road provides two through
lanes in each direction and no exclusive turn lanes. Golf Road is under the jurisdiction of the
Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), carries an annual average daily traffic (AADT)
volume of 28,100 vehicles (IDOT 2019) and has a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour.
South Wolf Road is a north-south, minor arterial roadway that extends south from Golf Road and
provides two lanes in each direction generally divided by two-way left-turn lane. At its signalized
intersection with Golf Road, S. Wolf Road provides a left-turn lane and a right-turn lane. S. Wolf
Road is under the jurisdiction of IDOT, carries an AADT volume of 9,650 vehicles (IDOT 2018)
and has a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour.
Traffic Characteristics of the Proposed Development
The plans call for developing the site with a six-story apartment building with 449 units and an
internal parking garage and an approximately 2,000 fast causal restaurant with a drive-through
lane. Parking for the apartments will be provided via 439 spaces within the internal parking garage
and 54 surface parking spaces and parking for the restaurant will be provided via 13 surface
parking spaces. Primary access to the site will be provided via a full movement access road that
will form the fourth (north) leg of the signalized intersection of Golf Road with S. Wolf Road.
This access drive will provide two inbound lanes and two outbound lanes striped to provide a
shared through/left-turn lane and an exclusive right-turn lane. As part of the development, a
westbound right-turn lane and an eastbound left turn lane will be provided on Golf Road serving
the proposed access road. As previously mentioned, as part of the development the access road
serving the Metra commuter parking will be combined with the proposed access system. At its
intersection with Golf Road, the access road will be restricted to right-turn outbound only
movements.
Development Traffic Generation
The estimates of traffic to be generated by the development are based upon the proposed land use
type and size. The volume of traffic generated for the transit-oriented development was estimated
using data published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual,
10th Edition. As previously indicated, the proposed transit-oriented development is located 200 feet
south of the Cumberland Station serving the UPNW Metra Commuter Railway. As such, many of the
residents will utilize public transportation to get to work. Based on census data provided for
households located within one-quarter mile of the Westmont Metra Station, approximately 15 percent
of residents utilize public transportation to travel to/from work. As such, the trips estimated to be
generated by the proposed apartment units were reduced by 15 percent due to the proximity of public
transportation. Table 1 summarizes the trips projected to be generated by the proposed
development.

Traffic Analysis
The following provides an evaluation conducted for the existing, Year 2026 no-build, and Year 2026
total projected traffic volumes at the intersection of Golf Road with S. Wolf Road. Analysis for the
intersections was performed for the weekday morning peak hour (7:15 A.M. to 8:15 A.M.) and
weekday evening peak hour of traffic (5:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M.) as determined by peak period traffic
counts conducted by KLOA, Inc. on Thursday, February 27, 2020.
To determine the Year 2026 no build volumes, existing traffic volumes were increased by a
regional growth factor to account for the increase in existing traffic related to regional growth in
the area (i.e., not attributable to any particular planned development). Based on AADT projections
provided by the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), the existing traffic volumes
were increased by a compound annual growth rate of 0.43 percent per year for six years (buildout
year plus five years) for a total of 2.6 percent.
To determine the Year 2026 total projected volumes, the estimated weekday morning and evening
peak hour traffic volumes that will be generated by the proposed development were assigned to
the roadway system in accordance with a directional distribution based on existing travel patterns,
as determined from the traffic counts. Further, the existing traffic utilizing the Metra access road
was reassigned to the proposed access road. The development-generated traffic was added to the
Year 2026 no-build traffic volumes to determine the Year 2026 total projected traffic volumes.
The traffic analyses were performed using the methodologies outlined in the Transportation Research
Board’s Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), 6th Edition and analyzed using the Synchro/SimTraffic
10 software. The analysis for the traffic-signal controlled intersection of Golf Road with S. Wolf Road
were accomplished using field measured cycle lengths and phasings to determine the average overall
vehicle delay and levels of service.
Attachment 7 Page 41 of 47
The ability of an intersection to accommodate traffic flow is expressed in terms of level of service,
which is assigned a letter from A to F based on the average control delay experienced by vehicles
passing through the intersection. The Highway Capacity Manual definitions for levels of service
and the corresponding control delay for signalized intersections and unsignalized intersections are
included in the Appendix of this report.
Summaries of the traffic analysis results showing the level of service and overall intersection delay
(measured in seconds) for the existing, Year 2026 no-build and Year 2026 total projected
conditions are presented in Table A, included in the Appendix. Summary sheets for the capacity
analyses are included in the Appendix.
Evaluation
The results of the capacity analysis indicate that overall the intersection of Golf Road with S. Wolf
Road currently operates at LOS C during the weekday morning and weekday evening peak hour.
As can be seen, all movements at the intersection currently operate at LOS E or better during both
peak hours. Further, through movements on Golf Road operate at LOS C or better during the peak
hours. Under Year 2026 no build conditions, this intersection is projected to continue operating at
LOS C during both peak hours with increases in delay of less than two seconds. Furthermore, all
of the approaches are projected to continue operating at existing levels of service.
As previously indicated, as part of the proposed development a full movement access road serving
the development will be provided in alignment with S. Wolf Road forming the fourth (north) leg
of this intersection. This access drive will provide two inbound lanes and two outbound lanes
striped to provide a shared through/left-turn lane and an exclusive right-turn lane. Further, an
eastbound left turn lane and a westbound right-turn lane will be provided on Golf Road serving
this access drive.
When analyzing projected conditions, the following assumptions were made:
•All traffic generated by the development as well as the Metra commuter lot was assumed
to use the proposed access road opposite S. Wolf Road.
•S. Wolf Road was assumed to be restriped to provide a shared through/left-turn lane and
an exclusive right-turn lane
•All approaches provide an exclusive right-turn lane and were assumed to continue to
provide a right-turn overlap phase
•When determining future traffic signal phasing and green times splits, adequate time was
assigned to Golf Road through movements to ensure through movements operated at LOS
C or better as Golf Road is an SRA route.
•Northbound Wolf Road was given a protected lead phase in order to ensure northbound
left-turn movements are able adequate time to turn on to Golf Road.
Attachment 7 Page 42 of 47
Under Year 2026 projected conditions, and given the above assumptions, this intersection is
projected to continue to operate at LOS C during the weekday morning and weekday evening peak
hours. In addition, the northbound through/left-turn movement is projected to operate at LOS D
during the peak hours with 95th percentile queues of less 210 feet, which can be accommodated
within the existing turn lane. While southbound movements out of the site are projected to operate
at LOS E, this is primarily the result of the long cycle length (140 seconds) and the fact that Wolf
Road and Golf Road are major roadways and will continue to receive the majority of the green
time. Further, southbound 95th percentile queues are not projected to exceed four to five vehicles
which will be able to exit with each green phase. As such, Golf Road and Wolf Road will be able
to continue to operate efficiently even with the addition of the proposed fourth leg.
Conclusion
Based on the proposed development plan and the preceding evaluation, the following conclusions
and recommendations are made:
•A full movement access road serving the proposed development as well as the existing Metra
commuter parking lot is proposed off Golf Road opposite S. Wolf Road and will form the
fourth (north) leg of the signalized intersection.
•As part of the development, an eastbound left-turn lane and a westbound right-turn lane will
be provided on Golf Road serving the proposed access road.
•The existing access drive off Golf Road will be maintained and will be restricted to right turns
outbound movements under stop sign control.
•Assuming the provision of the recommended improvements, the intersection of Golf Road
with S. Wolf Road will continue to operate at a good LOS with through movements on Golf
Road continuing to operate at LOS C or better.

Surrounding Land Use: North: Single Family Residence
South: Single Family Residence
East: Single Family Residence
West: Single Family Residence
Street Classification: Cornell Avenue and Stone Street are local roads.
Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Single Family Residential.
Project Description: The petitioner Gary M. Rizzo, on behalf of Lisa Burman, is requesting a Final
Plat of Subdivision for the Beverly Burman estate located at 290 Cornell
Avenue. The subject property is 19,256-square feet (0.440 acres) in size and is
comprised of three lots, which is improved with a single-family home on the
north side of the property as shown in the Plat of Survey (Attachment 4).
The petitioner proposes to consolidate the three lots into two lots and construct
a new single-family home on the new southern lot as shown in the Proposed
Site Plan (Attachment 6). The existing home on the property will remain as is.
However, the width of the northern corner lot with the existing single-family
home will increase to 59.78-feet and the southern interior lot will have a width
of 60-feet as shown on the Final Plat of Subdivision (Attachment 5).
Final Plat of Subdivision Report
Name of Subdivision: Jay and Beverly Burman Subdivision
Address: 290 Cornell Avenue
Requests: Approval of Final Plat of Subdivision
Total Acreage of
Subdivision: 0.440 acres
Lot Descriptions and
Construction Plans: The petitioner’s Final Plat of Subdivision shows the existing 19,256-square foot
property being consolidated from three lots into two lots. The northern corner
lot will have an area of 10,807-square feet and the southern interior lot will have
8,520-square feet. The Final Plat of Subdivision shows a 5-foot public utility
easement and drainage easement at the rear, a five-foot public utility easement
and drainage easement on the sides, and a 30-foot private building line in the
front of each proposed lot.
Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan
There are several parts of the 2019 Des Plaines Comprehensive Plan that align with the proposed project.
Those portions are follows:
• Under Overarching Principles:
o The Comprehensive Plan seeks to promote a wider range of housing options and to
encourage the reinvestment and preservation of established Des Plaines neighborhoods
through the addition of new housing to fit diverse needs. The proposal seeks to reinvest in
this vacant lot and provide additional housing options in this established neighborhood.
Page 2 of 15
• Under Land Use Plan:
o A primary goal of the Comprehensive Plan is to preserve and enhance established single-
family neighborhoods while also expanding newer housing options. The proposal matches
the existing character of the neighborhood and provides modern housing options that are
prevalent in the immediate vicinity.
• Under Future Land Use Map:
o The property is marked for Single-Family Residential land uses. These areas are designated
for detached single-family residences to maintain and improve housing options for residents.
The proposed use will transform an existing residential lot with one residence and provide an
additional single-family housing option for the community as a whole.
While the aforementioned bullet points are only a small portion of the Comprehensive Plan, there is a large
emphasis on maintaining detached single-family zoning areas and promoting the expansion of these
developments to increase housing options for residents. The petitioner is proposing to take a 0.440-acre parcel
with one residence and add another residence for the community.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of the Final Plat of Subdivision pursuant to 13-2 of the Des Plaines
Subdivision Ordinance to allow for the consolidation of three lots into two lots of record in the R-1 zoning
district at 290 Cornell Avenue.
Planning and Zoning Board Procedure: Under Section 13-2-5 (Approval of Final Plat By Planning and
Zoning Board) of the Subdivision Ordinance, the Planning and Zoning Board has the authority to recommend
approval, approval subject to conditions, or denial of the above-mentioned Final Plat of Subdivision request
for the property at 290 Cornell Avenue.

Re: 290 Cornell Ave.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
The request is for a simple subdivision of land from the existing 3 parcels (which contains one
existing home) into 2 parcels. One parcel would retain the existing home. The second parcel
would be vacant and available for development of a single family residence.
Both contemplated lots conform to minimum lot sizes for the zoning classification and are
consistent with other development in the neighborhood.
The existing home needs work to be brought up to modern standards and will be sold to a
developer to be renovated.
The vacant lot resulting from the subdivision provides an opportunity for a builder or user to
purchase the vacant lot and construct a new home. This would add a quality new construction
to the neighborhood, evincing confidence in the area and supporting investment in existing
homes.
There is no immediate plan to develop the vacant lot. Thus the site plan included in the
engineering submission is not specific to a particular proposed structure. When the lot is
purchased for development by a homebuilder or user, the site plan and landscaping proposed
in conjunction with construction of a single family residence would have to comply with City of
DesPlaines ordinances.
