Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:34 p.m. Richard Rogers made a motion to approve the minutes of the June 26th meeting errata, seconded by Merrill Cotton. The June meeting minutes were approved 4-0, with three abstentions (Arlene Juracek, Joseph Donnelly and Keith Youngquist). At 8:45, after hearing four cases, Ms. Juracek introduced Case No. PZ-24-03, a Conditional Use request to amend a PUD approval for a Costco store to be constructed at the Randhurst Shopping Center and related requests. Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, introduced the staff memorandum for the case. She said that the Subject Property is located at the northeast corner of Rand and Elmhurst Roads, between Kensington Road and Euclid Avenue, and Planning and Zoning Commission PZ-24-03 Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 2 contains a regional shopping mall with multiple out-lots. She said that the Subject Property is zoned B3 Community Shopping PUD and is bordered by single-family, multi-family, and commercial districts. Ms. Connolly reported that the Village Board previously approved the Costco development proposal in April 2002. She said that the Petitioner has since revised the plan and it now includes a new building location and modified building elevations. Also, the mall owners are proposing changes to portions of the mall. She said that these changes involve demolishing a portion of the existing Ward's building, enhancing an existing mall entrance, and relief from Village Codes for the proposed parking lot lighting, sign regulations, and bulk regulations for the building height. She said that all of these requests require amending the previous PUD approval and relief from Village Codes. Ms. Connolty said that the Petitioner proposes to locate the store adjacent to the main mall building along the southeast comer of the existing mall building, in the general area of the former JC Penny and Kohl's areas. She said that the proposed Costco facility will contain only one customer entrance, and it will be located at the southwest comer of the store. The store's receiving docks will be located along the north elevation of the building, near the mall's existing customer and underground parking/delivery entrances. She said that in addition to the warehouse store'operation, the Petitioner proposes to sell and install tires. The tire installation operation will be located along the southwest elevation of the building, with all tire installations completed inside the tire center. The Petitioner is also seeking relief from zoning regulations to allow taller light standards and brighter lights, as well as outdoor storage to promote the store's auto sales program. :,: Ms. Connolly reported that the Village Board approved the fuel center/gas station as part of the P~vious Costco development proposal. She said that the Petitioner's current proposal for the fuel center is not significantly different from the previously approved design. The fuel center would be located on the former Wards Auto Center site, between the existing LaSalle Bank and Home Depot facilities. She said that the self-serve fuel center ~vill have a Costco employee on-site to assist members with operating the fuel pumps, but the employee will not pump gas for the members or provide any type of maintenance assistance. Ms. Connolly said that the Costco building would be constructed from a combination of building matehals including precast concrete panels, brick and Eff'S. She said that the building's exterior will include a combination 0floeige and red colors, and have a fiat roof of varying heights. She said that sections of the proposed building slightly exceed the 30-foot height limitation permitted in the B3 District. Ms. Connolly reviewed the site plan and reported that it indicates several new pedestrian links, including a sidewalk from the Costco building to the fuel center. In addition, a sidewalk would extend along the eastern edge of the fuel center site, connecting the mall's ring road and Kensington Road. Also, the area in front of the Costco entrance is designated as a pedestrian zone. Ms. Connolly said that the Petitioner is seeking approval of outdoor storage to allow the display of motor vehicles to help promote the store's vehicle purchase program. She said that the location of the proposed outdoor storage would be close to the Costco building entrance, .on a brick paver/display area of the sidewalk. The Village's Zoning Ordinance permits seasonal outdoor storage, such as Christmas trees, but the petitioner's request to disp!ay vehicles year-round does not comply with zoning regulations. Ms. Connolly said that the Petitioner's photometric plan for lighting levels in the Costco area indicates that the maximum lighting levels exceed the 2.4-foot candle limitation and that the proposed light poles exceed the 30-foot height limitation. In addition, the Petitioner proposes to use a drop lens as opposed to a recessed lens. Ms. Connolly stated that the Petitioner's proposal includes redesigning the existing parking lot around the Costco store and having oversized parking spaces to accommodate Costco shoppers. She said that the traffic circulation is improved by eliminating several access points and creating new landscape islands. Planning and Zoning Commission PZ-24-03 Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 3 Ms. Connolly reported that the Petitioner proposes to provide 770 oversized parking stalls and 18 handicap stalls. She said that the ratio and number of handicapped stalls exceeds the minimum code requirements. She noted that the Zoning Ordinance w as recently c hanged t o allow for s tared handicap access a isles, which i s not indicated o n t he Petitioner's site plan. She said that the Petitioner has the opportunity to revise the site plan to incorporate the shared access aisles and create additional parking if necessary. Ms. Connolly reported that the Petitioner proposes to install wall signs on each elevation of the Costco building as well as on the north and south elevations of the fuel station. She said that similar to the original Costco request, the Petitioner is seeking a variation to construct three wall signs that are larger than the 150 square feet permitted by the Sign Code. She said that the signs would be located on the north, south and west building elevations and each sign would be approximately 385 square feet, which is similar to the size of the previously approved wall signs. Ms. Connolly reported that the Petitioner proposes to install a second wall sign that measures 125 square feet over the Costco store entrance. The Petitioner is also seeking approval of a second wall sign on its north elevation to indicate the location of its receiving area. The proposed "Receiving" sign measures less than 25 square feet. Ms. Connolly stated that the Petitioner's plans call for locating the proposed tire center on the south elevation and that the Petitioner's plans indicate that two signs are needed for the tire center: one sign for the sales area and one sign for the installation area, Therefore, there would be a total of four signs on this elevation, but only one access point to the store and one access point to the tire center. She said that the Sign Code permits one wall sign per elevation and an additional wall sign for a distinct use, but only over its entrance. In this case, the Petitioner proposes a sign to indicate the tire center sales area, but that area cannot be accessed from the parking lot. Therefore, the request conflicts with the Sign Code regulations. Ms. Connolly reviewed the Petitioner's landscape plan and said that the loading dock will be screened from view from the neighboring residential development using a combination of shrubs and shade trees. In addition, new parking lot landscape islands will be created to improve traffic c ircutation, beautify the Costco site, and break-up the 'sea of parking' commonly found at shopping malls. Ms. Connolly said that the landscape plan shows how one section of the south mall elevation, between Costco and the proposed new mall entrance, will be improved with the use of planting beds. She said that the Petitioner proposes to use a variety of plantings throughout the Costco site and will provide foundation plantings in addition to the perimeter/parking lot landscaping. Ms. Connolly stated that Staff would like to see another mall entrance in closer proximity to the Costco entrance than what is indicated onthe Petitioner's plans, but that the proposed landscaping along the south elevation is intended to provide a transition/link between the mall and the new warehouse store. She said that although the Petitioner has attempted to create a "park" like facility in this area, Staff still believes that additional landscaping and screening would help t6 soften this portion of the mall's exterior elevation. Ms. Connolly reviewed changes to the mall and said that the Petitioner's plans indicate a significant portion of the former Ward's site would be demolished a nd t hat the existing m all entrance, between A pplebee's and t he Ward's building, would be enhanced by constructing a new entrance feature. She said that in addition to the new mall entrance feature, a portion of the existing Ward's building will be maintained and that a new exterior fagade would be constructed to compliment the proposed mall entrance feature, These proposed improvements are intended to update the exterior of the mall while also providing a primary focal customer entrance. Ms. Connolly reported that sections of the new mall facade would exceed the 30-foot maximum building height permitted in the B3 District. Also, the proposed change to the southwest elevation includes new storefron~s that have direqt access from the parking lot. Ms. Connolly clarified that the Petitioner's elevations indicate a portion of the southern elevation measuring approximately 207 feet in length would have a new facade and include new storefronts. She said that the exhibits indicate the conceptual elevation design, but noted that the location of windows and doors may b e modified once specific tenants are finalized. Ms. Connolly reported that the remaining 222' linear stretch Of the southern elevation would not be improved like the other section of the mall. She said that although the elevations indicate that a nexv Planning and Zoning Commission PZ-24-03 Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 4 storefront would be created within the area between the new mall entrance feature/faqade improvements and the proposed Costco facility, that this area, which measures 222' linear feet, will not contain any customer entrances to either the stores or the mall. She said that the Petitioner's landscape plan calls for landscaping/planting areas along this section of the mall building. Ms. Connolly said that as part of the PUD amendment, the Petitioner proposes Exterior Signage Criteria for the Randhurst Shopping Mall. She summarized the proposed criteria and said that they include 1) not requiring an amendment to the mall's PUD approval for any proposed exterior sign that is consistent with the Village's sign regulations; 2) allowing distinct types of signage like banners and painted surfaces that may not be permitted by the Sign Code, but are characteristic of a particular type of tenant; :3) creating Exterior Signage Criteria that create provisions for internal directory and directional signage that is not permitted by the Sign Code, but would be helpful to mall shoppers; and 4) the criteria would not apply to any outlot developments or mall tenants exceeding 30,000 square feet. Ms. Connolly clarified that the creation of signage criteria specifically for Randhurst will allow the mall owners and Village Staff to approve certain types of signage without having to go through the Conditional Use process to amend the PUD approval for a sign. Ms. Connolly reported that the Village's Comprehensive P1an designates the Randhurst Shopping Center for community commercial uses. The proposed warehouse, tire center, and fuel center are appropriate uses within this designation. She said that other departments reviewed the project and that the Fire Department requires an egress evaluation of the entire mall to determine the impact of the proposed changes to the mall. Also, the Petitioner is required t o provide documentation t hat the existing fire main can produce sufficient fire flows and i s in adequate condition to accommodate changes to the mall. Furthermore, all construction is required to meet applicable Building and Fire Code requirements. Ms. Connolly reviewed the Public Works Department comments. She said that they noted that the location of the new building shown on the current plan is in conflict with the fire loop, but in a location different from that shown on the plans submitted last year. The Petitioner's current plans show a different, smaller length of the existing fire loop to be relocated. She said that the new configuration leaves a portion of the existing fire loop to remain betxveen the new tap from Elmhurst Road and the portion of the fire loop that is to be relocated. Also, the Public Works Department has concerns with the condition of the water main in this location and will require that the petitioner demonstrate that it meets Village standards or replace the main. Ms. Connolly said that in order to approve the amended PUD, the request has to meet the standards for a Conditional Use listed in the Zoning Ordinance. She summarized the standards and said that the proposed Conditional Use would be located within the Randhurst Shopping Center, which is an existing PUD in the B-3 Community Shopping District. She said that the Petitioner proposes to demolish sections of the mall in order to build a one-story warehouse operation, create a new mall entrance and storefronts that have direct access to/from the parking lot, and create Exterior Signage Criteria specific to the mall. She noted that the proposed elevations, varying building materials, and requested changes to the Village's Sign regulations are consistent with other new commercial developments and trends in the Village. In addition, the new mall entrance, warehouse store and fuel operations would have minimal impact on the neighboring residential properties. The proposed Conditional Use would be in compliance will the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance requirements. Ms. Connolly stated that in order to approve the sign variations, the requests have to meet the standards for a variation listed in the Sign Code. She summarized the standards and said that the basis for granting variations for larger wall signs in the past has been that the signs were placed on expansive front elevations set back behind a large parking lot. She said that in this case, the justification for the size of the proposed walt signs is consistent with the findings for the previous cases. In addition, there are out-lots that limit Costco's visibility. She reported that the proposed variation for oversized Costco wall signs is in keeping with the standards for sign variations. However, the number of signs proposed for the tire center does not meet the intent of the Sign Code because the sales areas cannot be accessed from the exterior and the Petitioner has an opportunity to identify the tire center in one location, such as the access point to Planning and Zoning Commission PZ~24-03 Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 5 the tire installation area. She stated that the wall signage for the tire center shouldbe modified so the sales and installation information is incorporated into one wall sign. Ms. Connolty reported that in order to approve the requests for brighter lights, taller light poles,, and outdoor storage, the requests have to meet the Variation standards listed in the Zoning Ordinance. She summarized the standards and said that the outdoor storage area for the auto display is located in a pedestrian area. She noted that while the display may be attractive, the location is not conducive to this location and that the request fails to meet the standards for a variation because there is no hardship. As an alternative, Ms. Connolly suggested that the display be relocated to the inside of the store or in an area of the parking lot such as a designated parking space. Ms. Connolly said that the Petitioner's request to permit taller light standards and brighter lights meets the standards for a variation because the light standards would be located in a regional mall, which is a unique condition, and that the area required to be lit to ensure shopper's safety is larger than most parking lots in Mount Prospect. She said that using a recessed lens instead of the proposed drop lens would limit the brighter lights' impact on the adjacent residential. The proposed lights would not adversely impact the public welfare and could be designed so the lights would be angled away from the residential development east of the Subject Property so as to have a minimal impact on the neighborhood character. Based on this analysis, the proposed Costco Wholesale store, tire center, fuel center, enhanced mall entrance, proposed Exterior Signage Criteria for the mall, and relief from zoning regulations comply with the Conditional Use and Variation standards established by the Zoning Ordinance. Ms. Connolly said that the proposed wall sign size variations are in keeping with the Standards for Sign Variations. However, the proposed outdoor storage and number of tire center wall signs does not meet the standards for a variation and there ~re ¥iable ~ltern~ives [hat ~9u!d be in keeping with the Village's code requirements. Therefore, Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission: 1) 2) 3) 4) Approve three (3) 385 square foot wall signs; the Planning and Zoning Commission's decision is final for this request; Deny two wall signs for the tire center; the Planning and Zoning Commission's decision is final for this request; Recommend that the Village Board deny the outdoor storage request; Village Board's decision is final; Recommend that the Village Board approve the requested Conditional Use amendment at 999 N. Elmhurst Road, Case No. PZ-24,03, subject to the following conditions: A. Development of the site in conformance with the site plans prepared by Mulvanny Architects, revised July 8, 2003; B. Development of the site in conformance with the landscape plan prepared by Mutvanny Architects, revised July 11, 2003; C. Development of the site in conformance with the elevations prepared by Mulvanny Architects, revised June 4, 2003 and the elevations prepared by Fugman Dakich & Associates revised July 10, 20O3; D. Development of the site in conformance with the photometric plan prepared by T.E. Inc, dated June t 0, 2003, but revised to indicate the site will use recessed !enses ins`tead of dropped lenses; E. Prior to Village Board approval, all outstanding water main issues shall be resolved to the satisfaction of Staff; F. Submittal and approval of final Engineering Plans meeting all Development Code requirements which include but are not limited to: · Engineering site plans t hat address t he existing deficiencies in the b ackflow prevention system for t he entire Randhurst site to the satisfaction of the Director of PubliC Works; · Inspection and approval by the Village of the disconnection of the existing water and sewer services prior to starting demolition; G. Submittal of final building plans meeting all applicable Building Code and Fire Code requirements which include but are not limited to: Planning and Zoning Commission PZ-24-03 Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 6 · Egress evaluation of the entire mall; · Documentation that the existing fire-main can produce sufficient fire flows for the new facility or installing an additional water main to Elmhurst Road (already doing Elmhurst Rd main); · Replace and/or repair of the existing fire main as determined necessary by Village Departments if the new building encroaches upon the existing fire main; · Relocate existing fire hydrants, Fire Department connections, and post indicator valves as needed for Fire Department access. H. Approval of appropriate permits by I.D.O.T. and M.W.R.D. I. In lieu of providing a mall entrance adjacent to the Costco entrance, the petitioner will enhance the proposed landscaping and elevations along the Mall's south ~vall. The Petitioner must submit detailed plans Of this area for staff review pr/or to final approval of the project. Ms. Connolly reported that the Petitioner would like a separate condition recommending approval of the proposed Exterior Signage Criteha regulations as part of the PUD approval. She said that Staffdoes not object to this request. She said that except for items otherwise noted, the case is Village Board final. The Commission asked Ms. C onnolly questions regarding t he removal o f a S TOP sign a s discussed i n t he Traffic Study. Ms. Connolly said that the Village's Traffic Engineer reviewed the study, but did not comment on this recommendation. She said that the Petitioner could clarify whether they would keep this particular STOP sign since the issue was not addressed in their site plan. There were questions concerning the south mall elevation, in the area closest to the Costco entrance. Keith Youngquist asked whether any improvements would be made other than the proposed landscaping. Ms. Connolly said that the landscape plan indicates the level of proposed improvements, but that the Petitioner could provide more details. Mr. Youngquist stated his concern that access to the mall would be limited in the Costco entrance area. Ms. Juracek swore in the Petitioners who would speak about the case. The Commission discussed the traffic impact analysis on the shopping center, specifically the ring road near Home Depot. They also discussed the impact of the reduced number of mall entrances in great detail. The P&Z expressed concern that some parking areas would not be used because of their remote location from mall entrances, which may adversely impact the mall. Mark Gershon, Attorney for Rouse-Randhurst Center, said they are very pleased to bring Costco to the area to revitalize the center and the community. He complimented Staff on a great job of presenting the case. He said Randhurst had been in the community for thirty-nine years and is the largest contributor of sales and real estate tax in the Village. Many changes have occurred in those years and in the last six years the center has seen much underutilization with the closing of Wards and J. C. Penney. He said that it has been critical for Randhurst and the Village to work together to get to the point we are at today. He thanked Staff for their part in the process and said the success of Randhurst is integral to the success of surrounding retail stores. Mr. Gershon verbally reviexved the documentation and exhibits that had been submitted prior to the meeting, as part of their z6ning application. Robert Fugrnan, Architect with Fugman Dakich and Associates, presented the structural changes that would be made to the Randhurst Mall. He said that JCPenny's, Kohl's, Wards, and part of the mall would be taken down and replaced with the Costco building, tire center, and a renovated part of the mall. He said that a fuel station would replace the former Wards tire center. Mr. Fugman noted that the Applebee's Restaurant would remain in the mall, and that new retail stores would open in the newly renovated part of the mall. He said that these new stores could possibly have exterior and interior mall doors and that the tenants will have the option of creating their own facade on the first floor of the mall. The new area of the mall is designed for possible use ora store on the second floor. Ted Johnson, President. of Design Strategies, 231I W. 22nd Street, Oak Brook, and Costco's Project Manager/Coordinator for the site, stated that he is a Planner as well as a Landscape Architect by trade. Mr. Johnson explained that the proposed Costco building would be the same size/square footage as the Village Board previously approved and that the store would contain the same comer entrance, except in a new location to the east. The fuel Planning and Zoning Commission PZ-24-03 Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 7 center location did not change and it would remain in the same location as originally approved. He stated that the plans include providing an underground vault under the parking lot to handle storm water detention. Mr. Johnson discussed the proposed parking lot lighting and clarified that the lighting plan calls for 40-foot light standards with drop lenses. He said that drop lenses were chosen over recessed lenses because the drop lens does not produce hot spots that recessed lenses create. He said that drop lenses were also chosen because it would allow for fewer light standards in the parking lot. Mr. Johnson reviewed the Costco building materials and said that the main warehouse would be built out of pre-cast panels. He said that masonry will be used on the bottom 8-1 Oft of the building and the building will include architectural elements of masonry on the top portion of the building. He noted that EIFS would be used on the main canopy only as a design. Mr. Johnson stated that the Petitioners agreed to condense the two fires signs into one sign that reads 'Tire Center' and that they withdrew their request for the additional wall sign. The fuel center wilt be made out of the same masonry as the bottom of the main warehouse. The Commission presented their concerns on the parking lot design. Ms. Juracek suggested relocating the handicap stalls so they are closer to the Costco store entrance. She reminded the Petitioner that handicap stalls could share the same access aisle, which allows for more parking stalls. Mr. Rogers asked about the difference in parking stalls between Costco's proposed 10ft parking stalls and the adjacent parking stalls that are 9ft wide. Mr. Johnson responded that Home Depot owned the other parking area and it was not under Costco's control. Therefore, the Petitioner could not modify this area of the parking lot. He said that other parking areas designated as "mall" spots were part of the plans to be improved. Mr. Gershon informed the Commission that the Petitioner would not act on the recommendation to remove the STOP sign previously mentioned. Mr. Rogers expressed concern with the use of EIFS on the building. Mr. Johnson explained that EIFS would be used on top of a base material made of galvanized metal. Mr. Rogers suggested using stucco instead of EIFS and Mr. Johnson said he would explore that alternative. Ben Kutscheild, Senior Landscape Architect with Smith Group JJR, presented the landscape plan for the site. Mr. Kutscheild said landscaping would be used to screen the parking lot and that there will be 36" shrubs planted along the ring road, with two trees in e ach parking 1 ot landscape island. H e s aid that landscaping would b e planted b y t he fueling center, but that other mall entrances would remain in their current state. Mr. Kutscheild said that plantings would highlight comers of the building and that some landscaping would be 'pulled back' from the building to create a ten-foot walkway. He said that the trees to be planted will be mature enough and that their limbs will be high enough so the landscaping does not create a safety hazard. Mr. Gershon concluded the Petitioner's presentation and reviewed the benefits of Costco on the Mount Prospect community and emphasized the project's positive economic impact. Leo Floros expressed his concern about the project and questioned why the project had been delayed since April 2002. He asked for clarification on why the revised proposal is different from the original proposal and what steps were in place to ensure that the project would be completed if the Village Board approves the requests. Mr. Gershon explained that there had been a significant amount of activity concerning the design of the store, but that the construction aspect of the project was not realized. He said that Kohl's choosing to leave Randhurst allowed the Petitioner to revise their plans and create a new mall entryway. He noted that Costco has stayed committed to the Randhurst site and has not sought another location while the internal negotiations were underway. He said that all legal issues with Ward's have been resolved and that the Petitioner is ready to move forward on the project. Michael Levin, President of Urban Retail Properties, explained that Kohl's left Randhurst because they were looking for a bigger store. He said that representatives from Costco and Randhurst tried to persuade Kohl's to stay at the mall, but they were unsuccessful. He said that the loss of Kohl,s has allowed the Costco building to shift east and for the new mall entrance to be more visible. He stated that he does not doubt the mall's viability because a second entrance was lost in view of the fact that the new mall entrance will be nice looking. Chairperson Juracek opened the meeting to public discussion. John Czerechowicz, 1105 Wedgewood Lane, asked the Petitioners how adding Costco to the mall will offset the loss of three anchor stores in the mall. Mr. Levin explained Planning and Zoning Commission PZ-24-03 Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 8 that the three anchor stores combined generated less than half of the average revenue of a Costco that has been in operation for three years. Mr. Levin stated that he believes that Costco will turn the Randhurst ce!!t~er around.. Ms. Juracek closed the public hearing at 10:08pm.
