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.
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 undeveloped lot to
provide additional single-family housing options 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 an
undeveloped 0.596-acre parcel and subdivide it to provide two additional residences for the community.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of the Final Plat of Subdivision pursuant to 13-2 of the Des
Plaines Subdivision Ordinance to split one lot into two lots of record in the R-1 zoning district at 460 Good
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 460 Good Avenue.
A motion was made by Board Member Saletnik, seconded by Board Member Hofherr, to recommend
approval of the Final Plat of Subdivision for the property at 460 Good Avenue, as presented.

Petitioner: Michael Tobin, Midwest Gaming and Entertainment, LLC, 900 N. Michigan Avenue,
Suite 1600, Chicago, IL 60611
Owner: Gregory A. Carlin, Midwest Gaming and Entertainment, LLC / Devon Parcel, LLC,
900 N. Michigan Avenue, Suite 1600, Chicago, IL 60611
Chairman Szabo swore in the following individuals via Zoom: Michael Tobin, Midwest Gaming and
Entertainment, 900 N. Michigan Avenue, Suite 1600, Chicago, IL; Corey Wise, Rivers Casino, 3000 River
Road, Des Plaines, IL; Todd Shaffer, Haeger Engineering LLC, 100 E State Parkway, Schaumburg, IL; and
Javier Millian, KLOA Inc, 9575 W Higgins Road, Suite 400, Rosemont, IL.
Mr. Shaffer presented a thorough synopsis of the expansion plan, which includes a reconfigured back of
house space, a new restaurant, additional area for slot machines, and a table gaming area on the first
floor. The second floor expansion includes an event space, additional slot machines, and a poker room;
an additional office area is also included in the expansion on the mezzanine level for casino operations.
Mr. Shaffer also highlighted the overall site plan, landscape plans, parking plans and provided
renderings, which included proposed signage, which will be applied for and discussed at a future date.
Chairman Szabo asked if there were any questions from the Board.
Member Catalano inquired about the possible Tollway interchange along 294 and suggested that the
Casino may be interested in coordinating with the Tollway for a northbound exit ramp. Mr. Millian stated
that he was not aware of any plans to construct an interchange. Mr. McMahon provided history or the
proposed interchange; there were plans for an interchange in mid-to-late 2000’s with the O’Hare Lakes
mixed-use development, however, that project did not happen due to the housing crash. Mr. McMahon
stated that the addition of an exit ramp is a costly project and tied to a private development or a TIF
district. Mr. Tobin stated that the casino has explored an additional interchange with the Tollway over the
years.
Member Catalano inquired about traffic counts. Mr. Millian provided traffic counts for peak hours on
Friday and Saturday (Friday evening – 68 inbound/Saturday evening-73 inbound/Saturday morning -86
outbound/Saturday evening – 71 outbound). Member Fowler asked when the counts were taken. Mr.

Millian stated that the counts were taken on a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday in September
2019.
Member Hofherr asked is the access road would still be used to get on Devon Ave. Mr. Shaffer stated that
the road would still be utilized.
Member Hofherr inquired about the construction timeline. Mr. Tobin responded that that prep work
would begin in March, with construction beginning in April. Rivers plans to open the areas in phases, with
the first phase opening in February 2022, a second in early March 2022 and the event space opening in
mid-late March 2022.
Member Hofherr inquired about the increase in Des Plaines Fire/Police response. Mr. Wise stated that
although there is an increase in casino capacity, it would not be a proportional increase in customers. Mr.
Wise believes that the increase for emergency services would be minimal.
Member Veremis asked about the increase for employees. Mr. Wise stated that they plan to hire between
200-300 new employees for positions in security, food and beverage and table games. Mr. Wise
mentioned that Rivers Casino provides training for dealers at no cost and is a lifelong skill.
Chairman Szabo asked if there was a preference to hire Des Plaines residents. Mr. Wise stated that the
casino has current job openings and encourages those to apply.
Member Hofherr asked when live entertainment would return to the casino. Mr. Wise stated that with
the building of the second floor event space, it could be configured for concerts, break out groups, etc.
and looks forward to return of events to the casino.
Member Saletnik inquired about the traffic patterns (egress/ingress and pedestrian/vehicular traffic)
during construction. Mr. Shaffer provided a detailed explanation of the traffic plan for employees,
customers and vehicle traffic during the construction phases.
Member Hofherr inquired about the addition of a hotel on the casino property. Mr. Shaffer stated that
the hotel was part of the original Planned Unit Development in 2009/2010. Mr. Tobin stated that future
plans include a hotel on the south side of the casino.
Chairman Szabo asked that the Staff Report be entered into record. Planner Stytz provided a summary
of the following report:

Final Planned Unit Development
Project Description The applicant is requesting a Major Amendment to the Planned Unit
Development to amend Ordinance Z-33-19 to allow for a proposed
expansion of Rivers Casino, which is located at 3000 River Road, and the
modification of the “Onsite Utility Maintenance Agreement” between
Midwest Gaming & Entertainment, LLC and the City of Des Plaines
recorded as Document Number 1129903055. The existing property
contains a 140,363 square foot casino building, a four-story parking
garage with a pedestrian bridge connecting from the second level of the
garage to the casino building, and a two-story office building with a

surface parking lot. With all lots combined, the property encompasses
20.017 acres in land area. This request comes after the previous Planned
Unit Development Major Amendment request to expand the existing
parking garage to accommodate necessary parking for the increase of
gaming positions from 1,200 to 1,485, which was approved December 2,
2019 through Ordinance Z-33-19. The parking garage expansion resulted
in a net gain of 719 parking spaces bringing the total number of parking
spaces on site to 3,063 parking spaces.
This request will entail a proposal to expand the existing casino building
with a two-story, approximately 84,000-square foot addition and various
site adjustments to the parking garage, main site entrance, and
circulation of the site. The two-story expansion is comprised of
approximately 84,000-square feet of enclosed space distributed over two
main levels and two smaller mezzanine levels, including approximately
33,000-square feet of new gaming space, small food and beverage outlet,
10,100-square foot multi-purpose event center, and associated back of
house areas. The proposal to expand the casino building is a direct result
of recent Illinois legislation that allows existing casinos to apply to expand
from the former limit of 1,200 gaming positions to the new limit of 2,000
gaming positions. As cited in the applicant’s Project Narrative, the
ownership team is proposing the casino building expansion with this
Planned Unit Development Major Amendment request to reach 2,000
gaming positions.
The other items to note are the modification of the “Onsite Utility
Maintenance Agreement” to account for the parking garage expansion
that was approved with the previous Planned Unit Development Major
Amendment for the property and the proposed amendments to the
Localized Alternative Sign Regulation (LASR), which was originally
approved by City Council through Ordinance Z-6-10 and to which a
previous amendment was approved December 2, 2019 through
Ordinance Z-33-19. While the materials and project narrative provide
details of proposed amendments to the LASR on the site, this request will
be submitted on a separate development application at a later date.
The Des Plaines Zoning Ordinance Section 12-7-3.I. requires one parking
space per gaming seat, the same parking regulation as the State of Illinois.
The total number of parking spaces provided by the previous parking
garage expansion far exceeds the parking count required by the Zoning
Ordinance as 2,000 parking spaces are required and 3,063 spaces will be
provided. The proposed parking is high in order to accommodate the
approximately 1,200 employees that work at Rivers Casino and the
expansion of the casino to reach 2,000 gaming positions. The attached

(Attachment 10).
Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan
As found in the City of Des Plaines’ 2019 Comprehensive Plan, there are several parts of the
Comprehensive Plan that align with the proposed project. Those portions are as follows:
Under Future Land Use Map:
o The property is marked for commercial land use. The proposed expanded parking garage
will further enhance the existing casino property which will also allow the casino to
expand to the maximum allowed 2,000 gaming positions. This will also allow the casino
to continue to be a regional entertainment destination.
Under Economic Development:
o The Comprehensive Plan recognizes the economic vitality of the surrounding area and its
importance to the broader region. The proposed enhancements of this site would be in-
keeping with prior development efforts from the casino.
Compliance with the City’s Strategic Plan, Focus 2022
The City’s current Strategic Plan lays out a clear vision for future economic development projects.
Specifically, under Re-imagined Growth, the Strategic Plan states the following: “Encourage more
entertainment and hotel expansion to enhance the Casino corridor”. Approving the proposed
development application will assist with enhancing the casino corridor as it will prepare this site to expand
the casino and allow for an attached hotel.
As cited in various sections in the Des Plaines Zoning Ordinance and the Subdivision Ordinance, each
requests comes paired with a series of statements to assist the Planning and Zoning Board as well as the
City Council to review the facts with each request. These statements are referred to as ‘Standards’ and
the subsections below directly relate to the requests being made by the applicant.
Planned Unit Development (PUD) Findings
As required, the proposed development is reviewed in terms of the findings contained in Section 3-5-5 of
the Zoning Ordinance. In reviewing these standards, staff has the following comments:
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-6 zoning district. The proposed project meets the
stated purpose of the PUD. Additionally, the proposed improvements 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 a setback exception for the five foot
building setback requirement for the existing office building at 2980 River Road has been recorded with
the previous PUD Major Amendment in 2019. All other aspects of the property’s building height and
number of parking spaces complies with the Zoning Ordinance. 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 development. The petitioner is proposing to adjust the main entrance to the
site to accommodate the building expansion and improve circulation and access throughout the site.
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 expansion complements existing development to the north, west and south as
all surrounding properties, except for the Cook County Forest Preserve are built up. Additionally,
measurements will be made to reduce any impact on the nearby properties as all elements will have to
comply with the Des Plaines Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances.
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 an addition onto the existing casino building with updated landscaping, utility connections,
and vehicular access and circulation. This 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:
Comment: The proposed development meets the goals, objectives and recommendations of the 2019
Comprehensive Plan. Please also see the responses from the applicant.
