The Petitioner, The Alter Group, 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 1-1 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 1-1 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 1-1 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 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 1-1 Limited Industrial. The Subject
Property is bordered by an I-1* 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-1* Limited Industrial PUD to the south.
The Petitioner proposes to create one 1-1 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.
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 1-1 District limits lot coverage to no more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the total land area. The site plan
.ndicates a lot coverage of seventy-three percent (73%).

height of forty -feet (40') permitted in the 1-1 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. Tht.'.
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:

LandscapLng — 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.
I.Jghting — 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 1-1 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.

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 1-90 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
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 wit
respect to, but not limited to, the following matters: I
The compatibility with existing uses and zoning classifications of property within the general area of the property in
question;
lrll�ii ir 111 1111�
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 Peoner states that the proposed zoning amendment would make the parcels compatible with surrounding commercial anis
industrial parcels and is consistent with development in the area. B-3 zoning is adjacent to the two proposed B-3 lots and I -
development is across the street from the proposed 1-1 Limited Industrial parcel. The Petitioner states that these parcels have bee
vacant for more than thirty (30) years and will continue to be so until the parcels are rezoned to be more consistent with development i
the area. I

Staff has reviewed the proposed 1-1 and B-3 zoning classifications and believes that the proposal will not have a negative impact to the
surrounding property or neighborhood. Both the 1-1 and B-3 zoning classifications would be consistent with existing land uses on
adjacent property. Further, the 1-1 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 1-1 parcel
borders the 1-1 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 ap of the following motions:
® A zoning map amendment from 1-1 Limited Industrial to B-3 Community Shopping for 1791 Wall Street (PIN 08-23-203-
031 -0000);
® A zoning map amendment from O -R Office Research to 1-1 Limited Industrial for 1761 and 1731 all Street (PINs 08-
23-203-032-0000 and 08-23-203-033-0000);
® A zoning map amendment from O -R Office Research to B-3 Community Shopping for 301 LaSalle Street (1786 Busse
