JOSEPH DONNELLY, CHAIRPERSON
FROM: JASON C. SHALLCROSS, DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PLANNER
DATE: JANUARY 17, 2018
HEARING DATE: JANUARY 25, 2018
SUBJECT: PZ -19-17 / 1731 WALL STREET / ZONING MAP AMENDMENT
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the January 25, 2018 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review
the application by The Alter Group (the "Petitioner"), regarding the property located at 1731, 1761, and 1791 Wall
Street and 301 LaSalle Street (1786 Busse Road) (the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner is seeking a zoning map
amendment to rezone the property known as 1731 & 1761 Wall Street (PINS 08-23-203-033-0000 & 08-23-203-
032-0000) from OR Office Research to I-1 Limited Industrial, to rezone the property known as
301 LaSalle Street (PIN 08-23-203-034-0000) from OR Office Research to B-3 Community Shopping, and to
rezone the property known as 1791 Wall Street (PIN 08-23-203-031-0000) from I-1 Limited Industrial to B-3
Community Shopping. The Petitioner is also seeking approval of a Plat of Resubdivision for the Subject Property,
which would create one I-1 Limited Industrial parcel on the northwest corner of the site and two smaller, B-3
Community Shopping parcels along Algonquin Road and S. Elmhurst Road. The P&Z Commission hearing was
properly noticed in the January 10, 2018 edition of the Daily Herald newspaper. In addition, the Petitioner
completed the required written notice to property owners within 250 -feet and staff posted public hearing signs on
the Subject Property.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Property is bound by Wall Street, LaSalle Street, Elmhurst Road, and Algonquin Road. The Subject
Property consists of four parcels. The Subject Property is vacant green space. The parcels are zoned OR Office
Research and I-1 Limited Industrial. The Subject Property is bordered by an I -I* Limited Industrial PUD to the
west, the B-3 Community Shopping District to the north, the B-3 Community Shopping District and multiple small
commercial centers located in the City of Des Plaines to the east, and the B-4 Commercial Corridor District and an
I- I* Limited Industrial PUD to the south.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The Petitioner proposes to create one I-1 Limited Industrial District lot in the northwestern portion of the site and
two B-3 Community Shopping District outlot parcels along Algonquin Road and S. Elmhurst Road. A large
industrial spec building is proposed for the new I-1 Limited Industrial lot. A commercial development for the
proposed B-3 parcels is not planned at this time.
Site Plan — The proposed site plan indicates the industrial building will front onto Wall Street and will have four
full access points of ingress and egress, two proposed to be located on Wall Street and two on LaSalle Street.

Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting January 25, 2018 Page 3
The proposed entrances line up with existing entrances of adjacent development. All building and parking lot
setback requirements are met as part of this project.
Floor Plans — Forty (40) service bays and two (2) drive-in doors are proposed for the 132,293 square foot industrial
building. The plans show a large stormwater feature on the north end of the proposed industrial parcel, along LaSalle
Street.
Lot Coverage - The I-1 District limits lot coverage to no more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the total land
area. The site plan indicates a lot coverage of seventy-three percent (73%).
Building Elevations — The attached elevation drawings show that the proposed spec industrial building will not
exceed the maximum height of forty -feet (40') permitted in the I-1 District. The building will be forty feet (40')
tall. Building materials for the proposed building include stone precast panels with painted reveals, metal panels,
tinted glass windows, and metal doors.
Parking — The Village Code requires four (4) parking spaces for every one thousand square feet (1,000 sq. ft.) of
gross floor area for office and one (1) space per one thousand five -hundred square feet (1,500 sq. ft.) of gross floor
area used for warehouse. The proposed development would require one hundred thirty-two (132) parking spaces,
including five (5) accessible parking spaces. The attached plans indicate a total of one hundred seventy-six (176)
parking spaces, including six (6) accessible parking spaces. The following table summarizes the parking
requirement for the project:

Landscapes — The landscape plans indicate heavy landscaping along the eastern property line of the proposed
industrial lot, screening the forty (40) exterior docks and two (2) drive -in -doors from view from S. Elmhurst Road.
Landscaping is also proposed for the lengths of Wall Street and LaSalle Street, as well as the southern border of the
site. Landscape islands with trees and shrubs and foundation landscaping can be found throughout the development.
The development will be required to comply with all applicable Village Code landscape and screening requirements.
Lighting — The Village Code specifies that all exterior lighting consist of full cutoff luminaries with a total cutoff
angle of not more than ninety (90) degrees, and requires flat lenses for all lighting fixtures.
Plat of Resubdivision — The Petitioner is proposing to create one large I-1 Limited Industrial parcel on the
northwestern portion of the site and two smaller, B-3 zoned parcels along Algonquin Road and S. Elmhurst Road.
The plat also vacates an existing access easement and dedicates new utility and stormwater drainage easements
along the new lot lines. Staff has reviewed the proposed plat and recommends approval at this time, with final
details to be worked out before signatures are obtained.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION
The Village Comprehensive Plan designates the Subject Property as part of a Mixed -Use District. This land use
designation is appropriate for commercial, heavy industrial, manufacturing, office, research, warehouse uses, and
uses that benefit from the close proximity to the I-90 tollway. This district provides a mix of uses and promotes a
more cohesive environment to meet the changing needs of existing and future uses in this area. It encourages larger
sites to allow for large-scale employment facilities, with lot consolidation in areas that would benefit from
redevelopment.

MAP AMENDMENT STANDARDS
Page 4
The standards for map amendments are listed in Section 14.203.D.8.a of the Village Zoning Ordinance. 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; and
• Consistency with the trend of development in the general area of the property in question, and the
objectives of the current Comprehensive Plan for the Village.
The Petitioner states that the proposed zoning amendment would make the parcels compatible with surrounding
commercial and industrial parcels and is consistent with development in the area. B-3 zoning is adjacent to the two
proposed B-3 lots and I-1 development is across the street from the proposed I-1 Limited Industrial parcel. The
Petitioner states that these parcels have been vacant for more than thirty (30) years and will continue to be so until
the parcels are rezoned to be more consistent with development in the area.
Staff has reviewed the proposed I-1 and B-3 zoning classifications and believes that the proposal will not have a
negative impact to the surrounding property or neighborhood. Both the I-1 and B-3 zoning classifications would be
consistent with existing land uses on adjacent property. Further, the I-1 Limited Industrial and B-3 Community
Shopping District are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's future land use designation. The proposed B-3
parcels border the B-3 district to the east and south. The proposed I-1 parcel borders the I-1 district to the west.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff finds that the proposal meets the map amendment standards and that granting such request would be in the
best interest of the Village. Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission make a motion to adopt
staff's findings as the findings of the Planning and Zoning Commission and recommend approval of the following
motions:
1. A zoning map amendment from I-1 Limited Industrial to B-3 Community Shopping for 1791 Wall Street
(PIN 08-23-203-031-0000);
2. A zoning map amendment from O -R Office Research to I-1 Limited Industrial for 1761 and 1731 Wall
Street (PINS 08-23-203-032-0000 and 08-23-203-033-0000);
3. A zoning map amendment from O -R Office Research to B-3 Community Shopping for 301 LaSalle Street
(1786 Busse Road) (PIN 08-23-203-034-0000); and
4. A plat of resubdivision titled "The Lake Center Plaza Resubdivision Number Four."
The Village Board's decision is final for this case.
