Art studios are currently not permitted (by right or conditional use) in the B-1 district, therefore the petitioner must amend the land use table to operate at the subject location. Staff finds that the proposed text amendment and the proposed conditional use meet the applicable code standards and staff is supportive of the requests. Discussion Background: The subject property is a single -story multi -tenant commercial building with a mixture of medical and professional office uses. Property ownership could not verify the previous occupant of Suite 117 but stated that the space has been vacant for at least a year. Proposal: The petitioner, Agnes Jelen of Bloom & Brush Art Studio Inc, proposes to operate an art studio at the subject property, providing one-on-one art classes, private group sessions of up to 10 people, and a personal creative workspace for her own artistic projects. The petitioner described the materials to be used within the studio, including acrylic paint, stucco paint for textured artwork, brushes and canvases, and fresh flowers and associated materials for floral arrangements. The petitioner anticipates that her classes will be scheduled for evening hours on weekdays and weekends. Use: Art studios are not listed as permitted or conditional uses in the B-1 zoning district. The petitioner is requesting a text amendment to allow "art and woodcraft studios" and "art, sculptor, and composer studios" as conditional uses in the B-1 district. These land uses are currently permitted in the B-3, B-4, B-5, and B-5C districts. The Village code does not define these land uses. Site Plan: The petitioner notes in her application that she does not plan to remodel the interior or exterior of the building or parking lot. Parking: The proposed art studio will require 12 parking stalls. Based on the proposed tenant mix, the total number of parking stalls required is 87 (including 5 accessible). The parking lot is striped with 118 parking stalls, including 6 accessible parking stalls. The minimum parking requirement for the existing and proposed uses are met. Conditions: Staff requested a materials list from the petitioner, which is included in the proposal. As a condition of approval, staff proposes to restrict the business to only the materials listed and to attach the list as an exhibit to the ordinance. If in the future the petitioner wishes to deviate from the listed materials, she would need to obtain authorization from the Village. Staff is also proposing restrictions on the occupancy and nature of activities to prevent more intense uses, such as artistic endeavors requiring special equipment or machinery (e.g. woodworking, pottery, glassblowing, metalwork); or, a "rage room" (a room where people can vent their rage by destroying objects). Standards and Findings: Staff finds that the standards for text amendments and conditional uses have been met. The proposed text amendment is consistent with Village policy for existing permitted uses in the B-1 district, including "dance and music academies / studios," which have similar occupancy and parking requirements to an art studio. Staff did not find evidence that the proposed conditional use would endanger public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare. The subject property is designated "Corridor Commercial" in the future land use plan and the proposed use is compatible with the mix of professional office, medical office, and daycare uses already established along this stretch of West Kensington Road. Public Comment: As of this writing, staff has not received public comment pertaining to the ca se. Public Hearing: At the public hearing held on July 24, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission requested the addition of "metalwork and foundry" to the list of prohibited activities listed in the conditions of approval. The PZ Commission unanimously recommended approval of the text amendment and the conditional use request by a vote of 4-0. No members of the public were present to voice support or opposition. Text Amendment Standards: Staff has reviewed the petitioner's request for a text amendment to allow art studios as a conditional use in the B-1 district and finds that the standards have been met. The amendment is consistent with existing permitted uses in the B- 1 district, including "dance and music academies / studios," which have similar occupancy and parking requirements to an art studio. Conditional Use Standards: Staff has reviewed the petitioner's request for a conditional use to operate an art studio at the subject property and finds that the standards have been met. Staff did not find evidence that the business would endanger public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare. The proposed activities (painting and floral design small group classes) are not expected to impact neighboring businesses or residents any more than the existing permitted professional office and medical office uses at the building. Staff has proposed several conditions limiting the number of people, types of materials, and types of activities allowed on site. The Petitioner is requesting a waiver of the second reading for the ordinances. Alternatives A. Approval of the following requests: 1. "A text amendment to Chapter 14, Land Use Table 2, to allow "art and woodcraft studios" and "art, sculptor, and composer studios" as conditional uses in the B-1 district." 2. "A conditional use to operate an art studio at 350 West Kensington Road Suite 117, subject to the following conditions: a. The business shall hold a valid Mount Prospect business license; b. The materials used by the business are restricted to those listed in Exhibit A: Bloom & Brush Art Studio Inc Materials List, and any deviation from this list shall require Village approval; c. Occupancy of the space shall be restricted to instructional classes with up to 2 instructors and up to 10 students; d. The business shall operate as art studio for painting and floral design, and shall not engage in activities that are incompatible with a general office building, including but not limited to: i. artistic endeavors requiring special equipment or machinery (e.g. woodworking, pottery, glassblowing, metalwork / foundry); or ii. artistic endeavors involving destruction or smashing of objects (e.g. "rage room"). e. Compliance with all applicable development, fire, building, and other Village Codes and regulations; and f. A new conditional use approval shall be required for: i. A change of ownership involving 50% or more of the officers or partners; ii. A change in legal entity; or iii. A change in location." B. Action at the discretion of the Village Board. Staff Recommendation Approval of 1) A text amendment to allow "art and woodcraft studios" and "art, sculptor, and composer studios" as conditional uses in the B-1 district; and 2) A conditional use to operate an art studio at 350 West Kensington Road Suite 117, subject to the conditions listed at the Planning and Zoning Commission Hearing on July 24, 2025.

HAPLAN\Planning&Zoning COMM\P&Z 2025\Staff Reports\PZ-08-25 350 W Kensington Rd (TACU-Art Studio).docx 2 Conditions: Staff requested a materials list from the petitioner, which is included in the proposal. As a condition of approval, staff proposes to restrict the business to only the materials listed and to attach the list as an exhibit to the ordinance. If in the future the petitioner wishes to deviate from the listed materials, she would need to obtain authorization from the Village.

HAPLAN\Planning&Zoning COMM\P&Z 2025\3taff Reports\PZ-08-25 350 W Kensington Rd (TACU-Art Studio).docx rJ Exhibit B Standards and Findings of Fact TEXT AMENDMENT STANDARDS Section 14.203.D.8b of the Village of Mount Prospect Zoning Ordinance provides that a Conditional Use shall conform to the following requirements: 1. The degree to which the proposed amendment has general applicability within the village at large and not intended to benefit specific property. 2. The consistency of the proposed amendment with the objectives of this chapter and the intent of the applicable zoning district regulations. 3. The degree to which the proposed amendment would create nonconformity. 4. The degree to which the proposed amendment would make this chapter more permissive. 5. The consistency of the proposed amendment with the comprehensive plan. 6. The degree to which the proposed amendment is consistent with village policy as established in previous rulings on petitioners involving similar circumstances. Petitioner's Findings: The petitioner states that the art studio has been thoughtfully designed to be compatible with the uses of the property and that it will be an asset to the community. The petitioner writes that their vision for the art studio is to have a creative outlet for themselves and their clients by fostering imagination, collaboration, and inspiration. The petitioner asserts that they will encourage creativity, support local talent, and contribute to the cultural and creative growth of the surrounding area by hosting small and individual classes for painting and floral design. Staff's Findings: The proposed changes are applicable to B-1 office buildings throughout the Village and are not intended to benefit a specific property. The amendment will support the Zoning Ordinance objectives by subjecting the "art studio" use to a higher level of scrutiny through the conditional use process when the proposed location is within a business / office district, to ensure compatibility of uses and minimize adverse impacts to neighboring businesses and residents. The proposed change is unlikely to create nonconformities as the uses "art and woodcraft studios" and "art, sculptor, and composer studios" are already permitted uses in B-3, B-4, B-5, and B-5C districts. The amendment is intended to make the chapter less restrictive for art studio and related uses. The proposed changes reflect current Village objectives as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan, including being a business -friendly community; supporting small, local entrepreneurs; and supporting compatible alternative uses to activate vacant office spaces. The amendment is consistent with Village policy for existing permitted uses in the B-1 district, including "dance and music academies / studios," which have similar occupancy and parking requirements to an art studio. Staff finds that the amendments satisfy the standards as required in Section 14.204(D) of the zoning code. HAPLAN\Planning&Zoning COMM\P&Z 2025\3taff Reports\PZ-08-25 350 W Kensington Rd (TACU-Art Studio).docx 6 CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS Section 14.203.F.8 of the Village of Mount Prospect Zoning Ordinance provides that a Conditional Use shall conform to the following requirements: 1. That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the conditional use will not be detrimental to, or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare; 2. That the conditional use will not be injurious to the uses and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinityfor the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood in which it is to be located; 3. That the establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district; 4. That adequate public utilities, access roads, drainage and/or necessary facilities have been or will be provided; 5. That adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets; 6. That the proposed conditional use is not contrary to the objectives of the current comprehensive plan for the village; and 7. That the conditional use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located, except as such regulations may, in each instance, be modified pursuant to the recommendations of the planning and zoning commission. Petitioner's Findings: The petitioner states that the business will not be detrimental to public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare of the community; nor will it interfere with the use of surrounding properties; nor will it diminish property values in the neighborhood. The petitioner writes that the materials to be used, including non -hazardous paints, sculptural mediums for canvas creations, and floral supplies for botanical arrangements, are safe and environmentally friendly. The petitioner asserts that the subject property has adequate parking for the neighboring businesses as well as the future clientele that will visit the art studio. The petitioner concludes that their business will be a valuable addition to the community and will conform with any required measures. Staff's Findings: Staff has reviewed the petitioner's request for a conditional use to operate an art studio at the subject property and finds that the standards have been met. Staff did not find evidence that the business would endanger public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare. The proposed activities (painting and floral design small group classes) are not expected to impact neighboring businesses or residents any more than the existing permitted professional office and medical office uses at the building. Staff has proposed several conditions limiting the number of people, types of materials, and types of activities allowed on site. The office building is existing and has adequate public utilities, access roads, drainage, and ingress / egress to the site. The subject property is designated "Corridor Commercial" in the future land use plan and the proposed use is compatible with the mix of professional office, medical office, and daycare uses already established along this stretch of West Kensington Road.

PZ-08-25 PROPERTY ADDRESS: PETITIONER: PUBLICATION DATE: REQUEST: MEMBERS PRESENT: MEMBERS ABSENT: STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT: INTERESTED PARTIES: Hearing Date: July 24, 2025 350 West Kensington Road Suite 117 Bloom & Brush Art Studio Inc July 9, 2025 Text amendment to allow "art and woodcraft studios" and "art, sculptor, and composer studios" as conditional uses in the B-1 district; and conditional use approval to operate an art studio at the subject property. Joseph Donnelly Ewa Weir Walter Szymczak Michael Fricano Richard Rogers William Beattie Donald Olsen Antonia Lalagos— Development Planner None Chairman Donnelly called the meeting to order at 7:07 PM. Commissioner Weir made a motion seconded by Commissioner Szymczak to approve the minutes from the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on July 10, 2025. The minutes were approved 4-0. Chairman Donnelly introduced case number PZ-08-25, 350 West Kensington Road, a request for a text amendment to allow art studios as a conditional use in the B-1 district, and a conditional use to operate an art studio at the subject property. Ms. Lalagos introduced the first request, a text amendment to the land use table. She explained that currently, art studios are permitted by right in the B-3, B-4, B-5, and B-5C districts, but they are not permitted by right or as a conditional use in the B-1 district. Ms. Lalagos reported that the subject property is zoned B-1, therefore the petitioner must amend the land use table to operate at the subject location. She stated that the petitioner is requesting a text amendment to allow "art and woodcraft studios" and "art, sculptor, and composer studios" as conditional uses in the B-1 district. Ms. Lalagos noted that these uses are not defined in the Village Code. She explained that if the text amendment is approved, "art and woodcraft studios" and "art, sculptor, and composer studios" could request conditional use approval to operate at any B-1 zoned property in the Village. Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting — July 24, 2025 PZ-08-25 Ms. Lalagos asserted that the amendment is consistent with existing permitted uses in the B-1 district, including "dance and music academies / studios," which have similar occupancy and parking requirements to an art studio. Ms. Lalagos introduced the second request, a conditional use to operate an art studio at 350 West Kensington Road. She described the subject property as a single -story multi -tenant commercial building with a mixture of medical and professional office uses. Ms. Lalagos reported that property ownership could not verify the previous occupant of Suite 117 but ownership stated that the space has been vacant for at least a year. She shared that the petitioner does not plan to remodel the interior or exterior of the building. Ms. Lalagos confirmed that the site has one access point for ingress and egress on West Kensington Road, and that no changes are proposed for the parking lot. Ms. Lalagos summarized the petitioner's business proposal to operate an art studio at the subject property, providing one-on-one art classes, private group sessions of up to 10 people, and a personal creative workspace for her own artistic projects. She reviewed the proposed materials to be used within the studio, including acrylic paint, stucco paint for textured artwork, brushes and canvases, and fresh flowers and associated materials for floral arrangements. Ms. Lalagos noted that the classes are proposed for evening hours on weekdays and weekends. Ms. Lalagos stated that as a condition of approval, staff proposes to restrict the business to only the materials listed in the ordinance exhibit. She explained that if in the future the petitioner wishes to deviate from the listed materials, she would need to obtain authorization from the Village. Ms. Lalagos said that staff proposed restrictions on the occupancy and nature of activities to prevent more intense uses, such as artistic endeavors requiring special equipment or machinery. Ms. Lalagos reported that the proposed art studio will require 12 parking stalls. She noted that the overall requirement for the site is 87 parking stalls, including 5 accessible stalls. Ms. Lalagos asserted that the parking lot is currently striped with 118 parking stalls, including 6 accessible parking stalls, therefore the minimum parking requirement for the existing and proposed uses are met. Ms. Lalagos concluded that staff finds that the proposed text amendment and conditional use meets the applicable standards contained in the Mount Prospect Zoning Ordinance. She requested that the Planning and 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 requests: 1. "A text amendment to Chapter 14, Land Use Table 2, to allow "art and woodcraft studios" and "art, sculptor, and composer studios" as conditional uses in the B-1 district." 2. "A conditional use to operate an art studio at 350 West Kensington Road Suite 117, subject to the following conditions: a. The business shall hold a valid Mount Prospect business license; b. The materials used by the business are restricted to those listed in Exhibit A: Bloom & Brush Art Studio Inc Materials List, and any deviation from this list shall require Village approval; c. Occupancy of the space shall be restricted to instructional classes with up to 2 instructors and up to 10 students; Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting — July 24, 2025 PZ-08-25 d. The business shall operate as art studio for painting and floral design, and shall not engage in activities that are incompatible with a general office building, including but not limited to: artistic endeavors requiring special equipment or machinery (e.g. woodworking, pottery, glassblowing); or artistic endeavors involving destruction or smashing of objects (e.g. "rage room"); e. Compliance with all applicable development, fire, building, and other Village Codes and regulations; and f. A new conditional use approval shall be required for: i. A change of ownership involving 50% or more of the officers or partners; ii. A change in legal entity; or iii. Achange in location." Ms. La Lagos stated that the Village Board's decision is final for this case. Commissioner Weir requested that "metals and foundry" be added to the list of prohibited activities. Chairman Donnelly asked if the parking ratio is based on the number students or the square footage. Ms. Lalagos replied that the art studio parking ratio is based on the number of students and number of instructors. Chairman Donnelly invited the petitioners to the stand. Chairman Donnelly swore in the petitioners, Patrycja Jelen and Agnes Jelen of Bloom & Brush Art Studio Inc, 1601 Park Drive in Mount Prospect. Chairman Donnelly asked the petitioner to provide a brief description of their case. Ms. Jelen explained that she and her mother would like to open an art studio. She stated that her mother has been a successful business owner for many years, operating a flower shop. Ms. Jelen described the new endeavor, which is hosting floral design and acrylic painting classes. She noted that they have been residents of Mount Prospect for 10 years and would love to have the business in the community. Chairman Donnelly asked the petitioners if they understood the conditions of approval. Ms. Jelen replied yes. Hearing no further comments or questions, Chairman Donnelly closed the hearing and asked for a motion to approve a text amendment to Chapter 14, Land Use Table 2, to allow "art and woodcraft studios" and "art, sculptor, and composer studios" as conditional uses in the B-1 district. Commissioner Weir made a motion and Commissioner Szymczak seconded the motion.
