Chairman Donnelly called the meeting to order at 7:30 pm. Commissioner Youngquist made a motion,

Commission Meeting; the minutes were approved 7-0. Chairman Donnelly introduced Case PZ-16-14,
3001 Malmo Drive.
Ms. Andrade Stated the Subject Property is located at the sound end of the Village and consists of two(2)
unincorporated Cook County parcels. The developed parcel (08-23-202-017-0000) includes an existing
two story industrial building with related improvements. Parcel 08-23-202-046-0000 is vacant. The
Petitioner is currently seeking to annex the Subject Property into the Village of Mount Prospect's
corporate limits.
Ms. Andrade stated the Subject Property is bordered by unincorporated Cook County to the west and
south, the R-X Single Family Residence District to the north, and I-1 Limited Industrial District to the
east.
Ms. Andrade explained the Petitioner and the Village are currently working on finalizing an Annexation
Agreement. The Annexation Agreement does not require review by the Planning and Zoning

Commission. However, it will be reviewed at a subsequent Village Board meeting. In an effort to
streamline the review process, Staff is presenting the Petitioner's zoning request to the P&Z for their
recommendation, which will then be forwarded to the Village Board for their review and consideration at
the time the Annexation Agreement is also reviewed.
Ms. Andrade stated the existing two-story building is currently leased to House of Doolittle, which
manufactures quality date products, such as calendars. Per the Petitioner's application, the property
would continue to operate as an industrial building; warehousing, storing and distributing the products
which the tenant manufactures.
After showing a table comparing the 11 District's bulk regulations with the existing improvements located
at the Subject Property, Ms. Andrade stated the Subject Property would not comply with all of the I1
District's regulations.
Ms. Andrade further explained the building's interior side yard setback along the south property line and
the parking lot's setback along the north property line would not meet the required setbacks. The overall
lot coverage also exceeds the maximum permitted. The setbacks and lot coverage would be considered
non-conforming and would be allowed to remain as is and would be subject to the Village Code's
nonconforming regulations.
Ms. Andrade stated that when a Map Amendment is proposed, the Planning and Zoning Commission
shall make findings based upon the evidence presented to it in each specific case with respect to, but not
limited to,the following matters:
• The compatibility with existing uses and zoning classifications of property within the general area
of the property in question;
• The compatibility of the surrounding property with the permitted uses listed in the proposed
zoning classification;
• The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted under the existing and proposed
zoning classifications
Ms. Andrade stated with the exception of an existing tennis center (located to the north), the Subject
Property is adjacent to light industrial office/warehouse buildings and the existing land use on the Subject
Property would be the same as the existing industrial land uses in the area and the Village's
Comprehensive Plan.
Ms. Andrade further stated the Village's Comprehensive Plan designates the property as"Light Industrial
and Office Research". The existing paper product manufacturer is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan's designation and the proposed 11 zoning designation.
Ms. Andrade stated that Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend
approval of the following motions:
"To approve a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the Subject Property from RX Single Family to 11
Limited Industrial subject to the following condition:
1) Approval of an Annexation Agreement and Annexation into the Village of Mount Prospect.
The Village Board's decision is final for this case.

Chairman Donnelly asked if there were any questions for Staff. Hearing none, he called the Petitioner to
the stand.
Chairman Donnelly swore in Jack Parrino 55 E. Monroe Chicago, Illinois.
Mr. Parrino stated the existing building is in unincorporated Cook County. He further stated that his client
has filed for a petition for annexation in order for the building to become part of the Village of Mount
Prospect.
Mr. Parrino explained upon annexation his client is requesting the Subject Property be zoned I1 which
matches the current use of the property.
Mr. Parrino stated the current tenant's lease is up in 2017 and will have two,three year renewal options.
Chairman Donnelly stated the non-conformities would have to stay and if there were any changes to the
property in the future those non-conformities would have to come into compliance.
Mr. Parrino stated that he understood and is requesting that the Subject Property be annexed in as a legal
non-conforming use.
Chairman Donnelly asked if there were any questions for the Petitioner, hearing none he opened
discussion to the public. Hearing none, he closed the public portion of the meeting and brought the
discussion back to the board.

motion:
"To approve a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the Subject Property from RX Single Family to I1
