Action Item
The "Petitioner", Dan Miletic of raSmith, on behalf of the property owner, North Cook
Intermediate Service Center, is seeking conditional use approval for a unique use to operate
an intermediate service center and young adult academy that would serve students in the
North Cook County school districts. The proposed use would provide comprehensive
professional learning, operational and compliance resources and public educational services
including alternative public -school programs for the property located at 852 Feehanville Drive
("Subject Property"). The proposal requires Village Board approval to approve the conditional
use request for a unique use. The proposal meets the requirements and standards related to
the Village Code, and staff is supportive of the request.
Disctjssion
BACKGROUND/PROPERTY HISTORY
The subject property, annexed into the Village in 1980, is located within the Kensington Business
Center and zoned I-1 Limited Industrial, surrounded by similar industrial uses and Maple Trails
Park to the west. The site has been occupied by Cummins Allison Corporation since 2006, and in
February 2026 was purchased by the North Cook Intermediate Service Center (NCISC) for interior
renovation and minor site improvements. NCISC plans to relocate its Des Plaines facility to this
site, with construction scheduled from April through August 2026 and operations beginning for the
2026-2027 school year.
PROPOSAL
The Petitioner proposes to remodel the existing building to operate the NCISC, including the North
Cook Young Adult Academy (NCYAA). The NCISC would occupy the entire approximately 63,000-
square-foot building. According to the Petitioner's application, the NCYAA will provide programming
for students in grades 6 through 12 who may struggle in traditional school environments, while the
NCISC provides professional learning programs, operational and compliance resources, and other
support services for educators, staff and school districts. The proposed facility would support these
functions by providing spaces for professional learning, administrative operations, and student
service programs. The western half of the building will be occupied by the offices of the NCISC and
the eastern half will be occupied by the NCYAA. Daily operations are anticipated to occur primarily
during normal business and school hours, with traffic, noise, and parking demand expected to be
comparable to office uses currently permitted in the I-1 Limited Industrial District.
The proposed use does not fall within any specific use category listed in the Zoning Ordinance's
Land Use Table 2. As such, the use is classified as a ""Unique Use" within the I-1 Limited Industrial
District, which requires approval of a conditional use permit by the Village Board following review
and recommendation by the Planning & Zoning Commission. The following sections describe key
components of the Petitioner's proposal.
North Cook Intermediate Service Center: According to the Petitioner's application, the NCISC is
the liaison between the Illinois State Board of Education and the local schools in Region 5 of
northern Cook County. The NCISC serves 41 educational organizations, including 32 elementary
school districts, 7 high school districts, and 2 special education organizations. The NCISC's work
encompasses a range of areas including comprehensive professional learning, operational and
compliance resources, and student services. The NCISC offers extensive professional development,
including administrator academies, educator workshops, collaborative meetings, mentoring, and in -
district training, to strengthen school staff at all levels. The NCISC also provides essential
operational and compliance support to North Cook school districts, including educator licensure and
fingerprinting, oversight of school facility construction and safety, and guidance on meeting state
requirements for buildings, records, and programs. The NCISC also manages school bus training
for all of Cook County and serves as a key liaison for truancy prevention and support for homeless
or unaccompanied students.
The NCISC plans to introduce several ancillary services in the future unique to an intermediate
service center, including a health center in partnership with Advocate Health to provide physicals,
vaccinations, and other basic health services to youth and staff; a Human Elements (Hu) food
pantry and resource store to distribute food, clothing, hygiene products, and other essential items
to at -risk students and families in the region; a Pearson Testing Center offering professional
certification and licensure exams; and rentable professional and gymnasium space that may be
made available to local businesses, recreational leagues, and community organizations.
North Cook Young Adult Academy: The NCISC provides direct support to students and families
through alternative education programs, including the operation of the NCYAA. The NCYAA
functions as a Regional Safe School Program (RSSP) serving students in grades 6 through 12 who
are suspended, expelled, or facing expulsion, and also offers flexible learning options through the
Alternative Learning Opportunities Program (ALOP). The programs will have an initial enrollment of
40 students with a maximum enrollment of 120 students in the next 5 to 7 years. At maximum
enrollment, the Alternative Learning Opportunities Program (ALOP) program would have 60
students and the RSSP program would have 45. The programs will have 16 teachers initially,
increasing to 40 at full enrollment. Program hours will be between 9:00 AM and 3:30 PM.
Students participating in these programs often experience challenges in traditional school
environments and benefit from smaller class sizes and individualized support that allow them to
focus on credit recovery and remain on track to graduate from their home school district. In many
cases, students are able to return to their home schools after participating in the program. In
addition, student advocates work directly with students to help improve behavior, social -emotional
skills, academic performance, and attendance.
Students may come from any of the 39 enrolled elementary, middle, or high school districts served
by the NCISC. Currently enrolled students represent several districts, including Township High
School Districts 214, 211, 225 (Glenbrook South), 202 (Evanston Township), 219 (Niles Township),
and 207 (Maine Township), as well as Skokie Districts 68 and 69 and Palatine District 15. The
NCYAA operates two public education programs designed to assist school districts in meeting the
needs of students who require alternative educational pathways or safe school placements. These
programs are described in more detail below.
Alternative Learning Opportunities Program (ALOP�
The ALOP serves students who experience academic or social -emotional challenges in traditional
school environments and would benefit from a smaller, more supportive learning setting. Students
are referred to the program by their home school districts when distractions or other barriers
prevent them from achieving success in their regular school setting. The program provides
individualized instruction, academic support, and credit recovery opportunities intended to help
students remain on track toward graduation while developing positive academic and behavioral
habits. According to the Petitioner, students enrolled in the ALOP remain connected to their home
school districts and are admitted through an admissions process to ensure the program is an
appropriate fit for the student.
As of March 11 20261 10 students (10 high school and zero middle school) are enrolled in the ALOP.
The majority of future enrollment is anticipated within this program. These students are currently
served by their respective home high school districts including Districts 214, 211, 207, 202, 225,
219 and 2031 and are eligible for placement only if they reside within the North Cook service
region.
Regional Safe School Program (RSSP)
The RSSP serves students who are suspended, expelled, or facing expulsion from their home
schools due to disciplinary violations that require placement in a structured educational
environment outside the traditional school setting. The RSSP is administered by the NCISC to
ensure students continue receiving educational services while addressing behavioral concerns. The
program provides a structured and closely supervised learning environment with a strong emphasis
on behavioral accountability, counseling support, and academic instruction. Placement in the RSSP
is coordinated with the student's home school district and is intended to allow students to continue
their educational progress while addressing the circumstances that led to their removal from the
traditional school environment. As of March 1, 20261 24 students (17 high school and 7 middle
school) are enrolled in the RSSP.
Summer School Program
Summer programming is limited and targeted to credit recovery and transition support.
Programming may be offered in hybrid format (primarily virtual with limited on -site support). If on -
site instruction occurs, anticipated enrollment would not exceed 25-30 students, operating
Monday -Thursday, approximately 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM for 4 weeks. Staffing ratios and supervision
protocols remain consistent with the regular school year.
Historic Operations & Incident History
According to the Petitioner, the NCISC has operated at its current Des Plaines location for several
years with a relatively limited number of incidents requiring emergency service response. Over the
past five years, reported incidents primarily involved student -related matters such as possession of
prohibited items, student altercations, or mental health concerns. These incidents were generally
addressed through administrative actions including parent meetings, social work services, safety
planning, and coordination with appropriate support services. Other reported incidents included a
situation in which an individual approached students at a nearby park and was escorted away by
police, and a building evacuation due to construction -related odors while the fire department
conducted air quality testing. The Petitioner notes that no incidents were reported during the
2024-2025 school year.
According to the Petitioner, two incidents occurred within the past five years in which students left
the premises without authorization. The NCYAA maintains written Standard Operating Procedures
(SOPs) to address such situations, including secured single -point entry with monitored access
control, staff supervision during all transitions, immediate administrative notification and parent or
guardian contact if a student attempts to leave without authorization, incident documentation and
behavioral follow-up planning, and coordination with sending school districts and local authorities
when necessary. The Petitioner indicates that these procedures would also be implemented at the
proposed Mount Prospect location. As enrollment increases, supervision posts and support staffing
will scale proportionally to maintain safety standards.
Enrollment, Growth & Regional Service Model
According to the Petitioner, the NCYAA currently operates at a relatively modest enrollment level,
with gradual growth anticipated over time as regional demand for alternative education services
increases. The program currently serves 34 students at the Des Plaines ISC, including 10 students
enrolled in the ALOP and 24 students enrolled in the RSSP. At the proposed Mount Prospect facility,
first -year enrollment is projected to increase to approximately 40 students, with 15 students in the
ALOP and 25 students in the RSSP. Students enrolled in the program come from school districts
served by the NCISC throughout northern Cook County.

The Petitioner anticipates that enrollment could grow to slightly more than 100 students over the
next five years, with a maximum on -site capacity of 120 students at any given time. As enrollment
increases, operational adjustments will be required to maintain program supervision and safety
standards. These measures will include maintaining an approximate staffing ratio of one adult for
every three students, adding additional support staff such as social workers and behavioral
specialists, and implementing staggered arrival and dismissal times once enrollment reaches
approximately 60 to 75 students. Additional supervision posts and security measures will also be
added as enrollment approaches full capacity. The NCISC may also add a virtual program to
support credit recovery and high school completion, so the majority of additional students past
Fiscal Year 2030 will be served in a virtual setting only.
Staff Plan and Operational Intensity
According to the Petitioner, staffing levels at the proposed facility will increase gradually as
enrollment grows. During the first year of operation (FY27)., the NCYAA is expected to employ
approximately 16 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff, including administrators, teachers,
paraprofessionals, related service providers, and support staff, while the NCISC administrative
operations will include approximately 26 staff members at opening. As enrollment increases,
NCYAA staffing is projected to grow incrementally —from 15 FTE in FY26 to approximately 35 FTE
by FY30—to maintain an approximate adult -to -student ratio of 1:3. At full operational capacity of
120 students, NCYAA staffing is anticipated to reach approximately 40 FTE, while NCISC
administrative staffing is projected to increase to approximately 36 FTE.

These projections indicate that staffing levels are expected to scale proportionally with enrollment
growth in order to maintain program supervision and support services.
Transportation, Traffic and Site Operations
Student transportation to NCYAA will be provided by students' home school districts through
licensed transportation providers, including taxis and minivans that comply with Illinois School
Code requirements. Students will not be transported by parents or guardians and will not be
permitted to drive themselves to and from the facility. Students will typically arrive in small groups
of approximately two (2) to six (6) per vehicle. Regular program hours are anticipated to be 9:00
AM to 3:30 PM, with drop-off occurring between approximately 8:45 AM to 9:00 AM and pick-up
between approximately 3:25 PM to 3 : 40 PM. All drop-off and pick-up activities will occur within the
southern parking lot, where vehicles will enter the southern drive aisle, circulate in a
counterclockwise direction, and queue along the northern curb adjacent to the eastern building
entrance. During drop-off, students in the first three vehicles will exit their vehicles, while during
pick-up students will remain inside the building until their vehicle arrives.
A Traffic Impact Statement (TIS) prepared by Kenig, Lindgren, O'Hara, Aboona, Inc. (KLOA, Inc.)
was submitted by the Petitioner. According to the TIS submitted by the Petitioner, approximately
28 vehicles can queue within the parking lot without extending onto Feeha nvi I le Drive. An estimate
for opening enrollment vehicle trips was not provided in the TIS; however, based on an opening
enrollment of 34 students, 16 instructors, and 26 NCISC staff members, the Petitioner estimates
that the facility will generate approximately 57 daily vehicle trips at opening enrollment. The TIS
estimates that the site would generate approximately 146 daily vehicle trips at full enrollment. As
enrollment increases and reaches the anticipated maximum of 120 students, the TIS recommends
staggering the start and dismissal times for grades 6-8 and grades 9-12. With approximately two-
thirds of students anticipated to be in grades 9-12, the resulting stacking demand would be
approximately 22 vehicles, which can be accommodated within the parking lot. A condition of
approval has been included requiring staggered start and dismissal times at full enrollment to
ensure that vehicle stacking remains on -site and does not extend onto Feehanville Drive.
Anticipated staggered time windows are as follows:
-Arrival Wave 1: 8:40 AM - 8:50 AM; Arrival Wave 2: 8:50 AM - 9:00 AM
-Dismissal Wave 1: 3:15 PM - 3:25 PM; Dismissal Wave 2: 3:25 PM - 3:40 PM
Safety and Security Measures
The Petitioner indicates that the NCYAA will operate as a secured facility with multiple safety and
security measures in place to supervise students and control access to the building. These
measures include locked building entry with 24-hour camera surveillance, visitor identification
procedures, visits by appointment only, and staff trained in emergency response procedures such
as CPR, AED use, and non-violent crisis intervention. The Des Plaines ISC also follows established
school safety protocols, including the Standard Response Protocol and Standard Reunification
Method developed by the I Love U Guys Foundation, which provide guidance for situations such as
lockdowns, evacuations, severe weather, or other emergencies. The Petitioner indicates that
similar security procedures will be implemented at the Subject Property, including controlled
building access, staff supervision during arrival and dismissal, and coordination with local
emergency responders to update and implement safety plans specific to the new facility. Students
will generally remain indoors during the instructional day except during supervised arrival and
dismissal, and middle school and high school students will be maintained in separate instructional
groups with staff supervision during any shared activities.
Parking and Site Capacity
The Petitioner indicates that the site proposes approximately 205 parking spaces, which is
sufficient to accommodate anticipated staffing levels, student transportation operations, and
occasional ancillary uses associated with the facility. At full build -out, the maximum projected
staffing is approximately 76 employees, which the Petitioner states can be accommodated by the
existing parking supply even if all employees arrive by personal vehicle. The available parking is
also intended to support ancillary activities such as workshops/training with maximum attendees of
80 people, or use of the on -site gymnasium outside normal program hours. The gymnasium
includes bleachers with a maximum capacity of 150 seats, and the Petitioner indicates that the
existing parking supply is adequate to support such events. Overall, the Petitioner indicates that
the existing parking lot and site layout can accommodate both daily operations and occasional
after-hours activities without requiring additional parking improvements.
Ancillary and Secondary Uses
No changes to the site layout are proposed. All planned work will be limited to renovations within
the existing building and will be undertaken to comply with all applicable building, fire safety, and
accessibility requirements associated with educational and administrative occupancies. Existing site
access, parking, utilities, and infrastructure are adequate to serve the proposed use, and no
modifications to ingress or egress are proposed or required. Interior improvements will include
reconfigured spaces for training and instruction, classrooms, gymnasium, multipurpose room,
professional development spaces, and administrative offices.
The Petitioner indicates that several ancillary services may operate at the facility in support of
students and the surrounding school districts, including a health center, food pantry, and Pearson
testing center, all of which would operate by appointment. In addition, the facility may include
rentable professional space and a gymnasium that could be made available to community groups
outside of normal program hours beginning in approximately fiscal year 2028. Potential users may
include recreational leagues or organizations seeking meeting or training space. These activities
would generally occur during evening hours or weekends when NCYAA students are not present
and would require proof of insurance and a signed use agreement. The gymnasium includes
bleachers with a maximum capacity of approximately 150 people, and the TIS indicates that the
existing parking supply is sufficient to accommodate these occasional after-hours uses.
Use Classification in the I-1 Limited Industrial District
According to a letter provided by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), the NCISC is not
recognized as a school. Per the Petitioner's application, students participate in the NCISC programs
on a temporary basis and remain enrolled in their home school districts, which retain responsibility
for maintaining permanent student records and complying with applicable federal and state laws
governing school records. Any temporary records created during a student's participation in the
program are returned to the home school district upon completion. In addition, neither the NCISC
nor the NCYAA issues diplomas, as students remain enrolled in and graduate from their respective
home school districts. The Petitioner also notes that students are not transported to the facility by
school buses and that the facility will not include a serving kitchen that prepares meals for
students.
Other Departments
Other Village departments reviewed the proposal and raised no objections, though the Building and
Fire Departments require detailed code, life safety, and fire protection plans at the time of building
permit submittal. The Traffic Engineer recommended on -site queue management to prevent vehicle
stacking on Feehanville Drive, and a corresponding condition of approval has been included, while
Public Works will review site improvements during permitting. The Police Department also
expressed no concerns based on the call volume and nature of the calls generated by their current
facility in Des Plaines.
LONG-RANGE PLANNING
The 2017 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as ""Business and Light Industrial,"
which supports office, training, light industrial, and civic uses. The proposed use is consistent with
this designation, functioning as an office, training, and educational support center within an
existing business park. The proposal aligns with Comprehensive Plan goals by adaptively reusing
an industrial building and introducing a civic -oriented use that supports workforce development,
professional training and community services.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Included in the agenda packet are fifteen letters of support received from Mount Prospect school
district superintendents (Districts 57, 26, 59, 23, 214), school district superintendents in North
Cook, and some of the NCISC Governing Board members (also school district superintendents in
North Cook in Wheeling, Wilmette, Evanston); three state representatives; and from neighbors of
the Des Plaines ISC, as submitted by the Petitioner.
STANDARDS AND FINDINGS
Staff finds that the proposed use will not adversely affect public health, safety, or nearby
properties, noting the Petitioner's experience operating a similar facility with minimal service calls
and established safety protocols. The existing building and infrastructure are adequate to support
the use without placing additional demands on public utilities, and conditions of approval will
ensure safe on -site circulation, queuing, and sufficient parking. A Traffic Impact Statement
indicates minimal impact on the surrounding roadway network, with all pick-up and drop-off
activities accommodated on -site, and the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan by
supporting regional educational services, workforce development, and community needs. Staff
finds that the proposed conditional use conforms to the applicable regulations of the I-1 Limited
Industrial District and is conditioned to minimize potential impacts on the surrounding area while
ensuring the safety and welfare of its users. Staff finds that the request is consistent with the
conditional use standards. Other Village departments have reviewed the Petitioner's plans and did
not object to the use, subject to building, fire, and engineering requirements that must be
addressed prior to issuance of occupancy.
PUBLIC HEARING
The proposed zoning requests were presented to the Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Commission on
March 26, 2026, as Case PZ-04-26. The Planning and Zoning Commission discussed several
aspects of the proposed conditional use to allow an intermediate service center and young adult
academy within the Kensington Business Center. Commissioners sought clarification regarding the
nature and origin of the proposed operational conditions, compatibility with surrounding industrial
uses, hours of operation, after-hours activities, and the extent of outdoor student activities. Staff
explained that the conditions were largely based on the petitioner's existing operational procedures
and were developed collaboratively to formalize those practices while maintaining flexibility. Staff
further confirmed that no concerns were raised by surrounding businesses and that the use is
compatible with other institutional uses within the business park. Staff clarified that typical
operating hours will occur during standard school and business hours, with limited after-hours use
of the gymnasium permitted, and that outdoor activities will be minimal and subject to staff
review. The petitioner explained that the facility will serve as both an administrative office and
educational program providing temporary, supportive placements for students from multiple school
districts, with transportation coordinated through the districts. Commissioners also discussed
program capacity, student placement, and operational logistics, including transportation,
supervision, and safety protocols. Public testimony expressed strong support for the proposal,
emphasizing the importance of the service center as a regional educational resource. The P&Z
Commission supported the conditional use request and voted 7-0 to recommend approval to the
Village Board.

Re: NCISC Narrative, 852 Feehanville Dr., Mount Prospect
Background:
In response to the letter received on January 30, 2026 regarding the Concept Plan -
Zoning Determination for 852 Feehanville Dr. (NCISC), our North Cook Intermediate
Service Center team would like to bring more clarity to the project in Mount Prospect.
The project narrative submitted by Vien-Phong (VP) Trinh with Arcon Associates
highlighted what NCISC does as an organization, however, we wanted to put our work
in context for consideration. We are quite unique neither fitting into the box of a school
or a school district but rather as an Intermediate Service Center. We are, by statute, the
Regional Office of Education (ROE) for all of the North Cook County school districts.
NCISC has a governing body composed of 1 1 members, including public school
teachers, superintendents of all North Cook public school districts, school board
members from boards of education, and a representative of higher education from
across the entire region.
Why NCISC Exists:
Our why (why we exist) is outlined in our NCISC Annual Report and legislation to support
educators and educational leaders. NCISC is one of three educational intermediate
service centers (ISC) established pursuant to Section 2-3.62 of the Illinois School Code
and 23 III.Admin.Code 525.30 and serving suburban north Cook County. Our office
serves 39 public school districts and two special educational cooperatives in northern
suburban Cook County. To the benefit of Mount Prospect, our support includes District
57, 26, 59, 23, and Township High School District 214 and Northwest Suburban Special
Education Organization (NSSEO), all local to you. We are the backbone of our school
districts; a conduit to the Illinois State Board of Education and how all school districts
function and educate 130,000 students across our entire North Cook area. Your
constituents are our constituents.
1001 E. Touhy Avenue, Suite 200 9 Des Plaines, IL 60018
ncisc.org
Page 2
What NCISC Does:
Most germane to our purpose is the delivery of public educational services. Our NCISC
office exercises a variety of important governmental functions, including supervision of
school districts, inspection of school buildings, issuance of occupancy and building
permits for public schools, enforcement of the Health/Life Safety Code For Public
Schools, condemnation of public school buildings, licensing of teachers, bus driver
training, professional learning workshops for educators and leaders, curriculum
development, mentoring, removal of school board members, and appointment of
persons to fill school board vacancies.
We serve several important governmental functions with respect to public education in
Cook County, including delivery of educational programs to public school students and
inservice and continuing education programs to public school teachers. Significantly,
pursuant to authority provided by the Illinois School Code, NCISC exercises all rights,
duties, and responsibilities previously vested in and exercised and performed by the
regional superintendent of schools in suburban Cook County. This includes
establishment and implementation of alternative public school programs in
accordance with Article 13A of the School Code, and Alternative Learning
Opportunities Programs (ALOP) in accordance with Article 13B of the School Code.
Vision for the New NCISC Office:
The vision for our new office is grand! Most exciting, is that we are planning to add new
services unique to an Intermediate Service Center. The vision for our new space is the
addition of the following in the near future:
• Health Center: Potentially partnering with Advocate Health to provide free
physicals, blood work, vaccines, and more to youth in North Cook and even our
NCISC and NCYAA employees
• Human Elements (Hu) Food Pantry: Allowing our Student Advocates and
Attendance Liaisons to support our at -risk students in the North Cook area by
delivering much needed goods to children and their families.
• Human Elements (Hu) Store: Offering gently used, donated or new items (i.e.
clothes, hygiene products, backpacks, notebooks, etc.) to at -risk students and
families we serve across the region. Here, too, our Student Advocates and
Attendance Liaisons can bring items to families.
• Pearson Testing Center: Affording a myriad of professionals the opportunity to
take their certification exams at NCISC; i.e. Information Technology (IT),
Healthcare & Nursing, Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB), Board of
Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) exams, GED® (High School Equivalency),
Finance & Insurance, Professional Licensing & Certification, Project Management
Professional (PMP), Illinois Licensure Testing System (ILTS),, and more
Page 3
• Rentable Professional & Gymnasium: Opening up spaces for Mount Prospect
businesses, recreational leagues, and community members to utilize our facilities.
Our Service Center, NCISC is Not Recognized as a School:
Although I can understand why our services and programs can be misunderstood to be
a school, we are a service organization offering programs (an important distinction that
delineates the ISC and NCYAA from being a recognized school). The Illinois State Board
of Education recognizes us as a program. The North Cook Young Adult Academy
(NCYAA), where our programs are held, cannot stand alone. Every child who attends
our temporary programs maintains a homeschool within a school district within North
Cook. Our visiting students are few. In the project narrative submitted by Vien-Phong
(VP) Trinh with Arcon Associates, school is mentioned on several occasions, however,
please note that in all instances it refers to students within the district schools we serve.
Students are dropped off to NCYAA by special cab/van service. No school buses are
used for arrival or departure.
• NCISC nor NCYAA is seen as a school in the eyes of the Illinois State Board of
Education
• Students attend our programs on a temporary basis
• Permanent student records belong to the student's homeschool and the
homeschool retains responsibility for complying with the requirements of the
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, Illinois School Student Records Act,
and other applicable federal and state laws pertaining to student records
• Students' temporary records are returned to the homeschool district following the
conclusion of their participation in our programs
• Neither NCISC nor NCYAA can issue diplomas
• Students receiving support from our programs struggle in large, traditional
environments and thrive in our small group programs with hands-on care
allowing them to focus on credit recovery and graduate on time from their
homeschool, and in many cases, return to their homeschool
• Students are not bused to our facility or programs
• We do not have a serving kitchen preparing meals for students
• NCISC cannot provide its own building permits because we are not a school
Summary:
We have great hopes of being a part of the Mount Prospect community and partnering
with school districts to continue our longstanding endeavor of being the epicenter for
educational services, support, and influence in the region. Our presence in Mount
Prospect would be a beacon to all we serve in a community that is well revered. When
educators and leaders visit our service center from all across the North Cook area, they
will be coming to commune and learn. Our greatest hope is that we can call Mount
Page 4
Prospect our home. We are leading learning together. Thank you for your consideration
and dedicated time to helping make 852 Feehanville our new office location.

RESPONSES TO APPLICABLE STANDARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USE
NCISC RENOVATIONS — 852 FEEHANVILLE DR.
Standards in bold below provided by the Village of Mt Prospect, with Applicant responses beneath.
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;
Applicant Response: The operations of the proposed use will not be detrimental to, or endanger the public health,
safety morals, comfort, or general welfare. The proposed use seeks to maintain the existing site, improve the
existing building, and function in a manner consistent with other properties within the Kensington Business
Center.
2. That the conditional use will not be injurious to the uses and enjoyment of other property in the
immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property
values within the neighborhood in which it is to be located;
Applicant Response: The proposed use will positively impact the Industrial Center as an adaptive reuse of a
building that needs substantial interior upgrades to meet the needs of current office space. No negative impact
will be made to the existing recreational bike path, drainage ditch, detention pond, or Village access easements
that exist within the property.
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;
Applicant Response: The conditional use will not impede the development and improvement of surrounding
property uses within the district.
4. That adequate public utilities, access roads, drainage and/or necessary facilities have been or will be
provided;
Applicant Response: The existing roadway and drainage infrastructure will serve the subject property. A Traffic
Impact Statement has been provided detailing minimal impact to the public roadway. The stormwater drainage
for the site will remain as -constructed, and will receive environmental benefit from the removal of former owner's
salt storage shed.
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;
Applicant Response: A Traffic Impact Statement has been provided detailing minimal impact to the public
roadway. The property provides stacking for up to 28 cars to ensure that necessary North Cook Young Adult
Academy (NCYAA) pick-ups and drop-offs will be contained within the private parking lot and not impede the
public road. Existing security gates to Feehanville Road will be removed to decrease stacking within the public
road.
6. That the proposed conditional use is not contrary to the objectives of the current Comprehensive Plan
for the Village;
Applicant Response: The Village of Mount Prospect is currently reevaluating the comprehensive plan through the
year 2040. Though the new Comprehensive Plan is not yet complete, we believe that support of the community
school districts will continue to be a Village priority.
The proposed Conditional Use would provide support to regional school districts, which aligns with Guiding
Principles 3 and 4 of the 2017 Comprehensive Plan. These guiding principles were identified by the Village to
provide for the access to institutions like NCISC that support community health, welfare, and job creation.
IN PROGRESS - Response to Applicable Zoning Standards 1
February 17, 2026
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 & Zoning Commission
Applicant Response: The property will be partially used for "Offices, business and professional" which is a
permitted use in the 1-1 District. The remainder is considered a "Unique Use", which requires a Conditional Use
Permit in the 1-1 District. The Unique use will function similarly to other businesses within the industrial zoned
area such as High Road School (580 Slawin Ct.) and Park View Montessori School (1601 Feehanville Dr.).

iv. Maximum projected on -site capacity by program
a) Confirm that 120 on -site students represent the maximum on -site enrollment for this facility
Applicant's Response: As described in the chart above, over the next 5 years, we
anticipate that students in our programs will grow to just over 100 students. We anticipate
also adding a virtual program to support credit recovery and high school completion, so
the majority of additional students past FY30 will be served in a virtual setting only. Our
enrollment will cap at 120 students on -site daily at any one time.
c. Provide the current student enrollment by grade level (middle school / high school) and projected grade -
level distribution at full capacity.
Applicant's Response: Current student enrollment by grade level is as follows. Future
projections are expected to be consistent with the current enrollment distribution.
• Grades 6-8= 7
• Grade 9= 6
• Grade 10= 8
• Grade 11= 9
• Grade 12= 4
d. Identify anticipated enrollment thresholds at which operational changes would occur (e.g. staggered
arrival implementation, added staff, security, expanded hours, programming changes, etc.)
Applicant's Response: Operational adjustments are tied to enrollment growth and program
composition.
• Staffing is maintained at a 1 adult to 3 student ratio, adjusted as enrollment increases
• Additional support staff are added first in related services (social work, counseling,
behavioral supports)
• At approximately 60-75 students, staggered arrival/dismissal windows may be
implemented

Village of Mount Prospect
Page 5 / March 3, 2026
• At 90+ students, expanded support staffing, additional supervision posts, and
enhanced security coverage would be added
• Security cameras will be maintained inside and outside the building at all enrollment
levels.
Please note, 5-7 additional licensed administrators will be at NCISC and available in an emergency.
e. If demand exists for 120 students as proposed:
i. Explain where those students are currently served
Applicant's Response: The majority of students who will be added will be in our Alternative
Learning Opportunities Programs (ALOP). Students are primarily referred to the onsite ALOP
because there are distractions in their home school setting that prevent them from success
academically and social -emotionally. At NCYAA, our personalized approach to academic
success enables all students to find a trusted adult, work through their academic challenges
and be accountable to attending school daily. Students are served currently primarily in their
home high school districts (214, 211, 207, 202, 225, 219 and 203) and are only permitted
admission if they are currently served in North Cook.
It is important to note that there is an admissions process for all students in both the RSSP
and ALOP programs and NCYAA can deny admission to anyone we deem to be a safety
concern to themselves or others or not a right fit for the ALOP program or RSSP program due
to other issues.
ii. Clarify whether students are placed at ISCs outside their region when capacity in their region for on -
site learning is not available
Applicant's Response: No, students cannot be placed outside their home ISC when capacity
in their region for onsite learning is not available.
iii. Describe the process used when current in -region facilities lack on -site capacity for additional
students
Applicant's Response: ISBE school code (105 ILCS 5/13A-0.5) requires the regional
superintendent to operate alternative programming for students in need in their region. When
capacity is reached or a student is deemed to not be a fit for success at NCYAA, NCISC works
with home schools to identify other programming that is aligned to the student's need. This
could include private schools, therapeutic day programs, hospital based programs and other
options. The home school, not the regional office, bears the burden of finding alternative
placement for all students.
Provide a narrative describing how summer school programming is conducted. Please clarify whether
summer instruction is fully virtual or if students are present on -site during the summer months. If students
are on -site, identify the anticipated number of students and the days and hours of operation.
Applicant's Response: Summer programming is limited and targeted to credit recovery and
transition support. Programming may be offered in hybrid format (primarily virtual with limited on -
site support).
Mr. Jason Shallcross, AICP,CEcD - Director of Community & Economic Development
Village of Mount Prospect
Page 6 / March 3, 2026
If on -site instruction occurs, anticipated enrollment would not exceed 25-30 students, operating
Monday —Thursday, approximately 9:00 a.m. — 12:00 p.m. for 4 weeks. Staffing ratios and
supervision protocols remain consistent with the regular school year.
3. Staff Plan & Operational Intensity
a. Provide anticipated full-time and part-time staffing levels
i. Year 1 (2026-2027)
Applicant's Response: Anticipated NCYAA staffing for FY27 is 16 Full -Time Equivalent (FTE)
positions, consistent with current operations, including administration, teachers,
paraprofessionals, related service providers, and support staff. Additionally 26 NCISC
administrative staff are anticipated at opening.
ii. At full capacity (120 students)
Applicant's Response: At full capacity (up to 120 students), NCYAA projected staffing is
approximately 40 FTE, maintaining the 1:3 adult -to -student ratio and expanded related
services, administration, and support staff. NCISC projected stuffing at full capacity is 36 FTE.
b. Confirm or revise prior staffing projections (15 current staff; 19-20 in FY27; incremental annual increases)
Applicant's Response: NCYAA staffing projections are as follows:
• FY26: 15 FTE
• FY27: 16 FTE
• FY28: 22 FTE
• FY29: 28 FTE
• FY30: 35 FTE
Annual increases align with enrollment growth and program expansion.
NCISC staffing will be at 26 FTE at opening and 36 NCISC staff at full build -out.
c. Identify the maximum staffing level (full and part-time) anticipated at build -out
Applicant's Response: NCYAA maximum anticipated staffing at build -out is approximately 40 FTE.
NCISC maximum anticipated staffing at build -out is approximately 36 FTE.
4. Transportation, Traffic, & Site Operations
a. Provide a detailed narrative of the student transportation model, including:
i. Taxi/vendor licensure and certifications
Applicant's Response: Home school districts are required to provide student transportation.
NCYAA works closely with the transportation directors in each district to ensure that student
transportation meets school code. School requirements for pupil transportation are described
in Article 29 of the Illinois School Code as well as in Part 1 Public Schools Evaluation,
Recognition and Supervision Section 1.510 Transportation and 1.515 Training of School Bus
Driver Instructors of the Illinois Administrative Code.
ii. Driver background checks and training
Applicant's Response: All drivers transporting students MUST possess a valid School Bus
Driver Permit per Section 6-104(d) of Vehicle Code. THIS INCLUDES TAXI CAB DRIVERS.
Mr. Jason Shallcross, AICP,CEcD - Director of Community & Economic Development
Village of Mount Prospect
Page 7 / March 3, 2026
Employment in Illinois schools or by vendors to the schools, requires mandatory, fingerprint -
based criminal history records checks through the Illinois State Police and FBI. Additional
requirements include checks of the Illinois Sex Offender Registry, Murderer and Violent
Offender Against Youth Registry, and the DCFS Child Abuse and Neglect Tracking System
(CANTS). This includes:
o Permit & Screening: Applicants must complete a training curriculum, pass a physical
examination (including drug/alcohol screening), and undergo background checks
(FBI/Illinois State Police).
o Annual Medical Exam: Drivers must prove physical fitness annually.
o Pre -Trip Inspections: Drivers must conduct and document daily inspections of
safety/mechanical equipment\
iii. Supervision and monitoring protocols
Applicant's Response: The same supervision and monitoring protocols for school bus drivers
are required for those in cabs or vans transporting students to school. See the ISBE
iv. Daily vehicle trip estimates at opening and at full capacity
Applicant's Response: Students will be brought to NCYAA for arrival in the morning and
picked up at the end of the day to return home. Typical taxi/van transports 2-6 students at a
time.
b. Provide a comprehensive arrival and dismissal plan for 852 Feehanville for both initial enrollment and full
capacity (120 students), including:
i. School hours
Applicant's Response: Regular program hours will be 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
ii. Drop-off and pick-up time windows
Applicant's Response: On -site Taxi/van queuing will take place during the times below.
Transportation providers operate within these structured windows to ensure orderly flow. See
response below describing staggering for future enrollment projections.
• Drop-off: 8:45 a.m. — 9:00 a.m.
• Pick-up: 3:25 p.m. — 3:40 p.m.
iii. Whether arrivals/dismissals will be staggered a) If so, please provide those staggered pick-up and
drop-off time windows
Applicant's Response:
• Year 1 (2026-2027) Staggering is not anticipated at opening enrollment (approximately
40 students). All arrivals and dismissals will occur within the standard 15-minute
windows, with staff stationed for supervision.
• At Full Capacity (2030-2031) At or near 120 students, arrivals and dismissals may be
staggered in two waves. Below is an example of what this staggering may look like.
Final implementation will be based on transportation routing and traffic flow review.
■ Arrival Wave 1: 8:40 — 8: 50 a.m.
■ Arrival Wave 2: 8:50 — 9:00 a.m.
■ Dismissal Wave 1: 3:15 — 3:25 p.m.
■ Dismissal Wave 2: 3:25 — 3:40 p.m.

Village of Mount Prospect
Page 8 / March 3, 2026
iv. On -site vehicle staging and stacking procedures
Applicant's Response: Staging procedures are summarized in the revised Traffic Impact
Statement. Estimated stacking requirement for 22 vehicles can be accommodated on -site
which will be adequate in accommodating the initial demand and maximum enrollment with
the proposed stagger.
v. Supervision during arrival and dismissal
Applicant's Response: Support staff and members of the NCYAA safety team will be stationed
at designated supervision points during arrival and dismissal. An administrator will provide
direct oversight at all times. Students are escorted from vehicles into the building and remain
supervised until departure. Walkie-talkies used for communication.
c. Provide estimated total daily vehicle trips (students + staff) at:
i. Opening enrollment
Applicant's Response: An estimate for opening enrollment vehicle trips was not provided in
the revised Traffic Impact Statement. However, the revised Traffic impact statement
calculated 146 trips generated for the site at full enrollment (120 students, 40 instructors, and
36 NCISC employees). At opening enrollment we expect to have 34 students, 16 instructors,
and 26 NCISC staff. At the same trip generation ratio, we expect about 57 trips would be
generated at opening enrollment.
Please note that, NCYAA students and staff do not leave during the operational hours. NCISC
office staff may leave for lunch (10 people on occasion).
ii. Full capacity
Applicant's Response: Per the revised Traffic Impact Statement, 146 trips will be generated
during the Weekday Peak AM and PM hour at full capacity.
d. Compare projected daily vehicle trips to other school -type uses in the 1-1 District
Applicant's Response: Based on the data available, we were able to calculate the following
assumed trip generation for Park View Montessori School at 1601 Feehanville Dr. This calculation
is based off the assumption that Park View trips are equal to that of a average daycare and a
14,000 square footage (based off exhibit in Mt Prospect Ordinance 6496 from 01107/2020). Based
off these assumptions, we calculate that Park View generates:
• 152 trips at Weekday Morning Peak Hour
• 151 trips at Weekday Evening Peak Hour
The assumed Park View daily trips are comparable to the future projected trips at the 852
Feehanville site.
e. Describe how site circulation will function given surrounding industrial truck traffic, including:
i. Interaction with truck movements
Applicant's Response: All traffic to and from the site will be contained on site. Start and finish
times of the program will occur outside the roadway system peak hours, minimizing the
impact. The adjacent roadways have sufficient capacity to accommodate the traffic that will
be generated.

Page 9 / March 3, 2026
ii. Internal queuing capacity
Applicant's Response: Based the Traffic Impact Statement, the required 22 vehicles can stack
internally which will be sufficient to accommodate the initial enrollment and at maximum
enrollment with the recommended staggering of start and finish times.
iii. Measures to prevent conflicts with adjacent industrial operations
Applicant's Response: All drop-off and pick-up activities will occur on site. Measures, such
as driver training and staff traffic control, will be taken to ensure that no backups will spill out
onto Feehanville Drive. Outbound movements will continue to operate under stop sign
condition.
5. Safety & Security Measures
a. Describe security measures currently in place at the Des Plaines ISC
Applicant's Response: NCYAA is a locked facility with 24-hour camera surveillance. Visitors gain
access from the front office staff after showing ID, use of I.D. software to secure safe access will
be utilized, and visits will be by appointment only.
NCYAA staff members receive emergency response training, including CPR, AED, Non -Violent
Crisis Intervention, and the use of radios/walkie-talkies.
NCISC and NCYAA utilize the I Love U Guys Foundation Standard Response Protocols (SPR),
Standard Reunification Method (SRM), and follow the Incident Command System (ICS) in major
emergencies. NCISC staff conduct safety drills using the SRP method, per below.
Standard Response Protocol
Hold (stay in your room or area): Used when hallways need to be cleared, such as for a medical
emergency. "Clear the halls and remain in the classroom until All Clear is called."
Secure (get inside, lock outside doors): Triggered by a threat or hazard outside the building (e.g.
police activity nearby). "Business as usual" inside, but no one enters or leaves.
Lockdown (locks, lights, out of sight): Initiated when there is an immediate threat or hazard inside
the building. Classroom doors are locked, lights are off, and students remain quiet and out of
sight.
Evacuate (to a location): Used to move people from one location to another, often due to fire or
structural issues. The announcement usually specifies the location.
Shelter (for a hazard and safety strategy): Used for severe weather or personal protection (e.g.
tornado). "Shelter for tornado, drop, cover, and hold."
b. Describe the proposed security plan at 852 Feehanville at:
i. Opening enrollment
Applicant's Response: See response to 5.a. The SRP and SRM plans will be updated to the
needs of the new building. Local emergency response organizations will be informed of the
plans. Our safety consultants (comprised of district administrators and first responders) have
been a part of planning and will help to update our safety plans before we take occupancy.
Mr. Jason Shallcross, AICP,CEcD - Director of Community & Economic Development
Village of Mount Prospect
Page 10 / March 3, 2026
ii. Full capacity
Applicant's Response: Same as above to accommodate all students and staff. Additional
safety staff may be hired to account for the need for increased supervision and support (i.e.
additional social workers and paraprofessionals).
c. Indicate whether any ISC facility (including Des Plaines) maintains:
i. A Student Resource Officer (SRO); or
Applicant's Response: NCYAA does not currently maintain an SRO. The two other ISCs also
do not have an SRO.
ii. Dedicated on -site security personnel
Applicant's Response: NCISC employs administrative staff to oversee the safety and security
of the building and grounds. More social workers will be added as capacity grows and a nurse
will join the team. NCYAA employs paraprofessionals to support the safety and security of the
environment. The NCYAA building is locked at all times, and staff have access to camera
surveillance onsite and remotely. NCYAA will have security protocols for visitors that include
the use of a Visitor Safe ID scanning system.
d. Describe exterior supervision procedures and whether students will have outdoor programming or
recreation areas i. If outdoor programming is proposed, provide details regarding fencing, supervision
ratios, buffering from adjacent industrial uses, and hours of outdoor activity
Applicant's Response: No outdoor programming or recreational use is anticipated at this site
unless planned in advance with supervision (Le. reading circle on the grass). Students will remain
indoors during the instructional day except for supervised entry and exit. Exterior supervision
during arrival and dismissal will be maintained by assigned staff and administrative oversight.
e. Describe the procedures and policies governing student separation, including whether students at
different grade levels (e.g., junior high and high school) will be separated during instruction, transitions,
and common areas. Clarify whether students of different school levels may commingle at any time or be
instructed within the same classroom setting, and if so, under what circumstances and supervisory
controls.
Applicant's Response: Middle school and high school students are maintained in separate
instructional cohorts, including classrooms and transitions.
Students may commingle only during structured, non -instructional community activities such as
lunch, community breakfast or town halls. During these times, full staff supervision is
implemented under an "all hands on deck" model with administrators and support staff present to
ensure safety and appropriate conduct.
Students are not co -instructed across grade bands except in rare, programmatically appropriate
circumstances with direct staff supervision.

6. Parking and Site Capacity
a. Reconcile discrepancies between submitted plans and the Traffic Impact Statement regarding total
parking spaces.
i. The traffic impact statement prepared by KLOA states there are a total of 153 parking spaces, but
Sheet C0.01 shows a total of 204 proposed parking spaces. Staff counts a total of 203 parking
spaces that are striped.
Applicant's Response: Per applicant recount, there is a total of 204 existing parking stalls and
205 proposed parking stalls on -site. 2 are located near the northwest building corner that may
have been missed. The revised civil plan C0.01 and Traffic Impact Statement have been
updated for consistency.
b. Demonstrate that parking supply is sufficient to accommodate:
i. Maximum projected staffing
Applicant's Response: The maximum staffing is projected to be 76 which can be
accommodated by the existing parking supply assuming every employee drives.
ii. Student transportation operations; and
Applicant's Response: See revised Traffic Impact Statement included in the resubmittal.
iii. Any ancillary or rental uses (including, but not limited to on -site training for district officials, testing,
food pantry etc.)
Applicant's Response: The 205 stall parking lot is provided to accommodate ancillary uses
such as workshop/training with maximum attendees of 80 people, and use of gymnasium
(outside program hours) which has a bleacher capacity of 150 people.
7. Ancillary and Secondary Uses
a. Clarify whether ancillary services (Health Center, Food Pantry, Pearson Testing Center) will operate by
appointment only
Applicant's Response: Yes, these services will be by appointment.
b. Identify:
i. The number of days per year the Rentable Professional Space and Gymnasium would be available
for outside events a) Will students be present during events?
Applicant's Response:
Projected to start in fiscal year 2028, rentable gymnasium space would be available M-F
evenings to the community (no NCYAA students). Proof of insurance would be required.
Signed Contracts for the use of the space would be established: i.e. cost for rental, capacity,
set-up, clean-up, use of equipment, parking, etc. We anticipate recreational leagues might be
interested in the gymnasium. Maintenance/custodian would be onsite.
Projected to start in fiscal year 2028, there is a potential for gym availability on the weekends
to the community (no NCYAA students). Proof of insurance would be required. Signed
Contracts. Maintenance/custodian would be onsite.

Projected to start in fiscal year 2028, there is potential professional space availability M-F
evenings to the community (no NCYAA students). Proof of insurance would be required.
Signed Contracts for the use of the space would be established: cost for rental, capacity, set-
up, clean-up, use of equipment, parking, etc. Maintenance/custodian would be onsite.
ii. Whether outside events may occur during evening hours
Applicant's Response: Potential for rentable space noted above to be used within allotted
hours (i.e. M-F, 4:00-10:00 p.m.).
iii. Whether such events would generate traffic beyond normal school hours
Applicant's Response: Yes, these additional events would be expected to generate trips to the
property beyond the normal hours of a NCISC/NCYAA program day. The revised Traffic
Impact Statement has been updated to include statement of parking adequacy for the full 150
seat bleachers. The traffic generated for such an event would be similar to the Village
approved Mt. Prospect Ice Arena.
iv. Whether the gymnasium and bleachers are intended solely for internal student use or may host
interscholastic competitions or large spectator events
Applicant's Response: Bleachers are intended for internal student/staff use during the
instructional day to protect student confidentiality. Interscholastic competition does not allow
for spectators regarding the regional safe school program.
If outside users have provided proof of liability insurance, secured a signed contract with
NCISC, and have been scheduled to use the gymnasium outside of the instructional day
indicating the need for bleachers, they would be made available to users (see 7b.1.). Bleacher
capacity is purposefully limited to 150 people.
8. Compatibility Statement
a. Provide a written narrative addressing how the proposed ISC at full capacity:
i. Is compatible with surrounding industrial uses
Applicant's Response: The property will be partially used for "Offices, business and
professional" which is a permitted use in the 1-1 District. The remainder is considered a
"Unique Use", which requires a Conditional Use Permit in the 1-1 District. The Unique use will
function similarly to other businesses within the industrial zoned area such as High Road
School (580 Slawin Ct.) and Park View Montessori School (1601 Feehanville Dr.).
ii. Will not result in substantial injury to adjacent properties
Applicant's Response: The proposed use will not result in substantial injury to adjacent
properties. No negative impact will be made to the existing recreational bike path, drainage
ditch, or Village access easements that exist within the property. The stormwater drainage for
the site will remain as -constructed, and will receive environmental benefit from the removal of
former owner's salt storage shed. A Traffic Impact Statement has been provided detailing
minimal impact to the public roadway.
Mr. Jason Shallcross, AICP,CEcD - Director of Community & Economic Development
Village of Mount Prospect
Page 13 / March 3, 2026
iii. Will not create hazardous traffic conditions given truck volumes in the park
Applicant's Response: A Traffic Impact Statement has been provided detailing minimal impact
to the public roadway. The property provides required off-street vehicle stacking to ensure
that necessary North Cook Young Adult Academy (NCYAA) pick-ups and drop-offs will be
contained within the private parking lot and not impede the public road. Existing security
gates to Feehanville Road will be removed to decrease stacking within the public road.
iv. Will not impede existing or future industrial operations within the business park
Applicant's Response: The proposed use will not impede existing or future industrial
operations within the business park. Traffic impact is minimal and adequate stacking is
available onsite. Use of public utilities will see minimal increase.
v. Is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and intent of the 1-1 Limited Industrial District
Applicant's Response: The Village of Mount Prospect is currently reevaluating the
comprehensive plan through the year 2040. Though the new Comprehensive Plan is not yet
complete, we believe that support of the community school districts will continue to be a
Village priority.
The proposed Conditional Use would provide support to 39 regional school districts and
special education cooperatives, which aligns with Guiding Principles 3 and 4 of the 2017
Comprehensive Plan. These guiding principles were identified by the Village to provide for the
access to institutions like NCISC that support community health, welfare, and job creation.
Public Works Department:
PW has reviewed the concept plans submitted for the North Cook Intermediate Service Center proposed at 852
Feehanville Drive. The following issues must be addressed before PW can recommend approval of the proposed
concept:
It must be understood that the comments listed above reflect issues noted during a review of the proposed
concept. A thorough review of the site design and details will be performed as part of the Building Permit review
process.
9. The narrative mentions renting facilities to rec leagues; define these rental facilities including the use,
occupancy, and frequency of use. Include the use of these rental facilities in the traffic study.
Applicant's Response: See above response to Comment 7b.1. We anticipate recreational leagues may
be interested in renting the gymnasium.
10. The architectural plans show a gymnasium with bleachers that could have a large maximum occupancy. This
should also be included in the traffic study.
Applicant's Response: Gym bleacher capacity is purposefully limited to 150 people, therefore, ample
parking is onsite.
11. Confirm that any queue of vehicles entering the site will not extend out onto Feehanville Drive.
Applicant's Response: As described above and within the Traffic Impact Statement, the on -site queue
of vehicles will not extend out onto Feehanville Drive. As student enrollment increases, drop-off and
pick-up times will be staggered to prevent stacking into the public roadway.

12. Sheet C2.00 shows the existing sanitary service to be replaced. A permit will likely be required from the
Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD). The applicant should contact and
request a letter of determination from the MWRD to confirm.
Applicant's Response: An MWRD permit will be needed because a portion of the existing sanitary
sewer service diameter will upsize from 4" to 6". Since we intend to file for an MWRD permit, no
Letter of Determination is necessary. raSmith (civil engineer) will reach out to the Village Engineer for
signatures on MWRD permit applications during the Building Permit review process.
13. Install an accessible ramp opposite the three (3) eastern accessible parking spaces.
Applicant's Response: Civil plans have been revised to bring the existing sidewalk at the east
building entrance up to ADA standards. This has been done by adding ADA detectable warnings in
the sidewalk along the already depressed curb near the east entrance. The civil engineer has
reviewed the existing sidewalk grading and has determined that it is ADA compliant as -is.
It must be understood that the comments listed above reflect issues noted during a review of the proposed
concept. A thorough review of the site design and details will be performed as part of the Building Permit review
process.
Building Department:
14. The plans do not contain the information necessary to perform a code analysis and initial review. We would
ask that a code analysis, bathroom count analysis, and life safety plan be completed for the plan submittal.
The plan submittal shall include information such as fire walls, partitions, smoke partitions, ratings, use
groups, occupant loads, egress, arch & MEP with structural information adequate to complete a permit plan
review. The use for the property and occupancy for zoning is based solely on the Community
Development/Planning & Zoning review.
Applicant's Response: All the requested documents will be part of the Building Permit Application
submission which will be the week of March 9, 2026.
Environmental Health Division:
15. Permit to be submitted for food service establishment should comply with all regulations of the 2022 FDA
Food Code.
Applicant's Response: Understood, if the project warrants a food service establishment permit, it will
be in full compliance with all applicable requirements of the 2022 FDA Food Code
Fire Department:
Please advise the petitioner that the following items must be included in the building/site plans submittal:
16. A fire sprinkler system in accordance with NFPA 13 will be required for this project. Ensure fire sprinkler shop
drawings, hydraulic calculations, and equipment cut sheets are submitted for review.
Village of Mount Prospect Fire Prevention Code, 24.20
Applicant's Response: Understood. Nicholas and Associates are the Construction Manager on the
project and their fire sprinkler subcontractor (TBD) will submit all the requested documentation.
17. A fire alarm system will be required for this project. Ensure that the fire alarm shop drawings with point-to-
point wiring diagrams, battery load calculations, and equipment cut sheets are submitted for review.

18. An additional means of egress will be required for based on occupancy load and travel distances. Additional
means of egress maybe required.
Applicant's Response: An egress plan will be submitted as part of the Building Permit Application
submission which will be the week of March 9, 2026.
19. An egress plan must be provided for the entire building. This plan must include occupant loads, travel
distances, egress widths, and common path of travel distances. An egress plan will be required when the
building plans are submitted for review. Additional exits may be required.
Applicant's Response: An egress plan will be submitted as part of the Building Permit Application
submission which will be the week of March 9, 2026.
20. Before final approval, a State of Illinois Fire Marshal inspection will be required.
Applicant's Response: Understood.
21. Fire lanes will be required based on the site review. Additional marking of fire lanes will be required.
Applicant's Response: We will work with the fire department during the building permit process to
update the civil plans to show necessary pavement striping and signage for fire lanes.
22. All egress doors are to use keyless locksets on the egress side. No flush bolts, dead or draw bolts, etc. will be
allowed. Life Safety Code, 7.2.1.5.1

BACKGROUND / PROPERTY HISTORY
The Subject Property was annexed into the Village in 1980 and is located within the Kensington
Business Center, generally southeast of the intersection of Business Center Drive and Feehanville
Drive. The Subject Property is zoned 1-1 Limited Industrial District and includes a portion of a
stormwater detention pond located east side of the existing building. Surrounding properties are also
zoned 1-1 Limited Industrial District and include Bishop Plumbing, Heating and Cooling to the north,
Avery Dennison Corporation to the south, Camelot Therapeutic School to the east, and Cummins
Allison to the west. Maple Trails Park is also located to the west of the Subject Property.
Village records indicate that the Cummins Allison Corporation, a manufacturer of coin and currency
handling solutions including cash counters, coin sorters, check scanners, ticket readers and ATMs,
has occupied the existing building since 2006. In February 2026, the North Cook Intermediate Service
Center (NCISC) purchased the property and submitted a building permit application for a complete
interior renovation of the building and some minor site improvements. The NCISC currently operates
an intermediate service center in Des Plaines (Des Plaines ISC) and plans to relocate to the Mount
Prospect facility in late August 2026 following completion of construction. Construction is anticipated
to occur from April through August 2026, with operations expected to begin at the start of the 2026-
2027 school year on August 21, 2026.
PROPOSAL
The Petitioner proposes to remodel the existing building to operate the North Cook Intermediate
Service Center (NCISC), including the North Cook Young Adult Academy (NCYAA). The NCISC would
occupy the entire approximately 63,000-square-foot building. According to the Petitioner's
application, the NCYAA will provide programming for students in grades 6 through 12 who may struggle
in traditional school environments, while the NCISC provides professional learning programs,
operational and compliance resources, and other support services for educators, staff and school
districts. The proposed facility would support these functions by providing spaces for professional
Learning, administrative operations, and student service programs. The western half of the building will
be occupied by the offices of the NCISC and the eastern half will be occupied by the NCYAA. Daily
operations are anticipated to occur primarily during normal business and school hours, with traffic,
noise, and parking demand expected to be comparable to office uses currently permitted in the 1-1
Limited Industrial District.
The proposed use does not fall within any specific use category listed in the Zoning Ordinance's Land
Use Table 2. As such, the use is classified as a "Unique Use" within the 1-1 Limited Industrial District,
which requires approval of a conditional use permit by the Village Board following review and
recommendation by the Planning & Zoning Commission. The following sections describe key
components of the Petitioner's proposal.
North Cook Intermediate Service Center
According to the Petitioner's application, NCISC is the liaison between the Illinois State Board of
Education and the local schools in Region 5 of northern Cook County. NCISC serves 41 educational
organizations including 32 elementary school districts, 7 high school districts, and 2 special education
organizations. NCISC's work encompasses a range of areas including comprehensive professional
Learning, operational and compliance resources, and student services. NCISC offers extensive
professional development, including administrator academies, educator workshops, collaborative
H:\PLAN\Planning & Zoning COMM\P&Z 2026\Staff Repo rts\PZ-04-26 852 Feehanville Dr (CU-Unique Use)_03.30.26.docx
meetings, mentoring, and in -district training, to strengthen school staff at all levels. NCISC also
provides essential operational and compliance support to North Cook school districts, including
educator licensure and fingerprinting, oversight of school facility construction and safety, and
guidance on meeting state requirements for buildings, records, and programs. NCISC also manages
school bus training for all of Cook County and serves as a key liaison for truancy prevention and
support for homeless or unaccompanied students.
NCISC planstointroduce several, ancillaryservices in the future unique to an intermediate service
center, including a health center in partnership with Advocate Health to provide physicals,
vaccinations, and other basic health services to youth and staff; a Human Elements (Hu) food pantry
and resource store to distribute food, clothing, hygiene products, and other essential items to at -risk
students and families in the region; a Pearson Testing Center offering professional certification and
licensure exams; and rentable professional and gymnasium space that may be made available to local
businesses, recreational leagues, and community organizations.
North Cook Young Adult Academy
NCISC provides direct support to students and families through alternative education programs,
including the operation of the NCYAA. The NCYAA functions as a Regional Safe School Program (RSSP)
serving students in grades 6 through 12 who are suspended, expelled, or facing expulsion, and also
offers flexible learning options through the Alternative Learning Opportunities Program (ALOP). The
programs will have an initial enrollment of 40 students with a maximum enrollment of 120 students in
the next 5 to 7 years. At maximum enrollment, the ALOP program would have 60 students and the
RSSP program would have 45. The programs will have 16 teachers initially, increasing to 40 at full
enrollment. Program hours will be between 9:00 A.M. and 3:30 P.M.
Students participating in these programs often experience challenges in traditional school
environments and benefit from smaller class sizes and individualized support that allow them to focus
on credit recovery and remain on track to graduate from their home school district. In many cases,
students are able to return to their home schools after participating in the program. In addition,
student advocates work directly with students to help improve behavior, social -emotional skills,
academic performance, and attendance.
Students may come from any of the 39enrolled elementary, middle, or high school districts served by
the NCISC. Currently enrolled students represent several districts, including Township High School
Districts 214, 211, 225 (Glenbrook South), 202 (Evanston Township), 219 (Niles Township), and 207
(Maine Township), as well as Skokie Districts 68 and 69 and Palatine District 15. The NCYAA operates
two public education programs designed to assist school districts in meeting the needs of students
who require alternative educational pathways or safe school placements. These programs are
described in more detail below.
Alternative Learning Opportunities Program (ALOP)
The ALOP serves students who experience academic or social -emotional challenges in traditional
school environments and would benefit from a smaller, more supportive learning setting. Students are
referred to the program by their home school districts when distractions or other barriers prevent them
from achieving success in their regular school setting. The program provides individualized instruction,
academic support, and credit recovery opportunities intended to help students remain on track toward
graduation while developing positive academic and behavioral habits. According to the Petitioner,
students enrolled in the ALOP remain connected to their home school districts and are admitted
H:\PLAN\Planning & Zoning COMM\P&Z 2026\Staff Repo rts\PZ-04-26 852 Feehanville Dr (CU-Unique Use)_03.30.26.docx
through an admissions process to ensure the program is an appropriate fit for the student. As of March
1, 2026, 10 students (10 high school and zero middle school) are enrolled in the ALOP. The majority of
future enrollment is anticipated within this program. These students are currently served by their
respective home high school districts including Districts 214, 211, 207, 202, 225, 219 and 203, and are
eligible for placement only if they reside within the North Cook service region.
Regional Safe School Program (RSSP)
The RSSP serves students who are suspended, expelled, or facing expulsion from their home schools
due to disciplinary violations that require placement in a structured educational environment outside
the traditional school setting. The RSSP is administered by the NCISC to ensure students continue
receiving educational services while addressing behavioral concerns. The program provides a
structured and closely supervised learning environment with a strong emphasis on behavioral
accountability, counseling support, and academic instruction. Placement in the RSSP is coordinated
with the student's home school district and is intended to allow students to continue their educational
progress while addressing the circumstances that led to their removal from the traditional school
environment. As of March 1, 2026, 24 students (17 high school and 7 middle school) are enrolled in the
RSSP.
Summer School Program
Summer programming is limited and targeted to credit recovery and transition support. Programming
may be offered in hybrid format (primarily virtual with limited on -site support). If on -site instruction
occurs, anticipated enrollment would not exceed 25-30 students, operating Monday —Thursday,
approximately 9:00 A.M. —12:00 P.M. for 4 weeks. Staffing ratios and supervision protocols remain
consistent with the regular school year.
Historic Operations & Incident History
According to the Petitioner, the NCISC has operated at its current Des Plaines location for several
years with a relatively limited number of incidents requiring emergency service response. Over the past
five years, reported incidents primarily involved student -related matters such as possession of
prohibited items, student altercations, or mental health concerns. These incidents were generally
addressed through administrative actions including parent meetings, social work services, safety
planning, and coordination with appropriate support services. Other reported incidents included a
situation in which an individual approached students at a nearby park and was escorted away by
police, and a building evacuation due to construction -related odors while the fire department
conducted air quality testing. The Petitioner notes that no incidents were reported during the 2024-
2025 school year.
According to the Petitioner, two incidents occurred within the past five years in which students left the
premises without authorization. The NCYAA maintains written Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
to address such situations, including secured single -point entry with monitored access control, staff
supervision during all transitions, immediate administrative notification and parent or guardian
contact if a student attempts to leave without authorization, incident documentation and behavioral
follow-up planning, and coordination with sending school districts and local authorities when
necessary. The Petitioner indicates that these procedures would also be implemented at the proposed
Mount Prospect location. As enrollment increases, supervision posts and support staffing will scale
proportionally to maintain safety standards.
H:\PLAN\Planning & Zoning COMM\P&Z 2026\Staff Repo rts\PZ-04-26 852 Feehanville Dr (CU-Unique Use)_03.30.26.docx
Enrollment, Growth & Regional Service Model
According to the Petitioner, the NCYAA currently operates at a relatively modest enrollment level, with
gradual growth anticipated over time as regional demand for alternative education services increases.
The program currently serves 34 students at the Des Plaines ISC, including 10 students enrolled in the
ALOP and 24 students enrolled in the RSSP. At the proposed Mount Prospect facility, first -year
enrollment is projected to increase to approximately 40 students, with 15 students in the ALOP and 25
students in the RSSP. Students enrolled in the program come from school districts served by the
NCISC throughout northern Cook County.

The Petitioner anticipates that enrollment could grow to slightly more than 100 students over the next
five years, with a maximum on -site capacity of 120 students at any given time. As enrollment
increases, operational adjustments will be required to maintain program supervision and safety
standards. These measures will include maintaining an approximate staffing ratio of one adult for every
three students, adding additional support staff such as social workers and behavioral specialists, and
implementing staggered arrival and dismissal times once enrollment reaches approximately 60 to 75
students. Additional supervision posts and security measures will also be added as enrollment
approaches full capacity. The NCISC may also add a virtual program to support credit recovery and
high school completion, so the majority of additional students past Fiscal Year 2030 will be served in a
virtual setting only.
Staff Plan and Operational Intensity
According to the Petitioner, staffing levels at the proposed facility will increase gradually as enrollment
grows. During the first year of operation (FY27), the NCYAA is expected to employ approximately 16
full-time equivalent (FTE) staff, including administrators, teachers, paraprofessionals, related service
providers, and support staff, while the NCISC administrative operations will include approximately26
staff members at opening. As enrollment increases, NCYAA staffing is projected to grow
incrementally from 15 FTE in FY26 to approximately 35 FTE by FY30 to maintain an approximate
adult -to -student ratio of 1:3. At full operational capacity of 120 students, NCYAA staffing is anticipated
to reach approximately 40 FTE, while NCISC administrative staffing is projected to increase to
approximately 36 FTE.

These projections indicate that staffing levels are expected to scale proportionally with enrollment
growth in order to maintain program supervision and support services.
Transportation, Traffic and Site Operations
Student transportation to NCYAA will be provided by students' home school districts through licensed
transportation providers, including taxis and minivans that comply with Illinois School Code
requirements. Students will not be transported by parents or guardians and will not be permitted to
drive themselves to and from the facility. Students will typically arrive in small groups of approximately
two (2) to six (6) per vehicle. Regular program hours are anticipated to be 9:00 A.M. to 3:30 P.M., with
drop-off occurring between approximately 8:45 A.M. to 9:00 A.M. and pick-up between approximately
3:25 P.M. to 3:40 P.M. All drop-off and pick-up activities will occur within the southern parking lot,
where vehicles will enter the southern drive aisle, circulate in a counterclockwise direction, and queue
along the northern curb adjacent to the eastern building entrance. During drop-off, students in the first
three vehicles will exit their vehicles, while during pick-up students will remain inside the building until
their vehicle arrives.
A Traffic Impact Statement (TIS) prepared by Kenig, Lindgren, O'Hara, Aboona, Inc. (KLOA, Inc.) was
submitted by the Petitioner. According to the TIS submitted by the Petitioner, approximately 28
vehicles can queue within the parking lot without extending onto Feehanville Drive. An estimate for
opening enrollment vehicle trips was not provided in the TIS; however, based on an opening enrollment
of 34 students, 16 instructors, and 26 NCISC staff members, the Petitioner estimates that the facility
will generate approximately 57 daily vehicle trips at opening enrollment. The TIS estimates that the site
would generate approximately 146 daily vehicle trips at full enrollment. As enrollment increases and
reaches the anticipated maximum of 120 students, the TIS recommends staggering the start and
dismissal times for grades 6-8 and grades 9-12. With approximately two-thirds of students anticipated
to be in grades 9-12, the resulting stacking demand would be approximately 22 vehicles, which can be
accommodated within the parking lot. A condition of approval has been included requiring staggered
start and dismissal times at full enrollment to ensure that vehicle stacking remains on -site and does
not extend onto Feehanville Drive.
Anticipated staggered time windows are as follows:
• Arrival Wave 1: 8:40 A.M. — 8:50 A.M.; Arrival Wave 2: 8:50 A.M. — 9:00 A.M.
• Dismissal Wave 1: 3:15 P.M. — 3:25 P.M.; Dismissal Wave 2: 3:25 P.M. — 3:40 P.M.
Safety and Security Measures
The Petitioner indicates that the NCYAA will operate as a secured facility with multiple safety and
security measures in place to supervise students and control access to the building. These measures
include locked building entry with 24-hour camera surveillance, visitor identification procedures, visits
by appointment only, and staff trained in emergency response procedures such as CPR, AED use, and
non-violent crisis intervention. The Des Plaines ISC also follows established school safety protocols,
including the Standard Response Protocol and Standard Reunification Method developed by the I Love
U Guys Foundation, which provide guidance for situations such as lockdowns, evacuations, severe
weather, or other emergencies.
The Petitioner indicates that similar security procedures will be implemented at the Subject Property,
including controlled building access, staff supervision during arrival and dismissal, and coordination
with local emergency responders to update and implement safety plans specific to the new facility.
H:\PLAN\Planning & Zoning COMM\P&Z 2026\Staff Repo rts\PZ-04-26 852 Feehanville Dr (CU-Unique Use)_03.30.26.docx 6
Students will generally remain indoors during the instructional day except during supervised arrival and
dismissal, and middle school and high school students will be maintained in separate instructional
groups with staff supervision during any shared activities.
Parking and Site Capacity
The Petitioner indicates that the site proposes approximately 205 parking spaces, which is sufficient to
accommodate anticipated staffing levels, student transportation operations, and occasional ancillary
uses associated with the facility. At full build -out, the maximum projected staffing is approximately 76
employees, which the Petitioner states can be accommodated by the existing parking supply even if all
employees arrive by personal vehicle. The available parking is also intended to support ancillary
activities such as workshops/training with maximum attendees of 80 people, or use of the on -site
gymnasium outside normal program hours. The gymnasium includes bleachers with a maximum
capacity of 150 seats, and the Petitioner indicates that the existing parking supply is adequate to
support such events. Overall, the Petitioner indicates that the existing parking lot and site layout can
accommodate both daily operations and occasional after-hours activities without requiring additional
parking improvements.
Ancillary and Secondary Uses
No changes to the site layout are proposed. All planned work will be limited to renovations within the
existing building and will be undertaken to comply with all applicable building, fire safety, and
accessibility requirements associated with educational and administrative occupancies. Existing site
access, parking, utilities, and infrastructure are adequate to serve the proposed use, and no
modifications to ingress or egress are proposed or required. Interior improvements will include
reconfigured spaces for training and instruction, classrooms, gymnasium, multipurpose room,
professional development spaces, and administrative offices.
The Petitioner indicates that several ancillary services may operate at the facility in support of students
and the surrounding school districts, including a health center, food pantry, and Pearson testing
center, all of which would operate by appointment. In addition, the facility may include rentable
professional space and a gymnasium that could be made available to community groups outside of
normal program hours beginning in approximately fiscal year 2028. Potential users may include
recreational leagues or organizations seeking meeting or training space. These activities would
generally occur during evening hours or weekends when NCYAA students are not present and would
require proof of insurance and a signed use agreement. The gymnasium includes bleachers with a
maximum capacity of approximately 150 people, and the TIS indicates that the existing parking supply
is sufficient to accommodate these occasional after-hours uses.
Use Classification in the I-1 Limited Industrial District
According to a letter provided by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), the NCISC is not
recognized as a school. Per the Petitioner's application, students participate in the NCISC programs
on a temporary basis and remain enrolled in their home school districts, which retain responsibility for
maintaining permanent student records and complying with applicable federal and state laws
governing school records. Any temporary records created during a student's participation in the
program are returned to the home school district upon completion. In addition, neither the NCISC nor
the NCYAA issues diplomas, as students remain enrolled in and graduate from their respective home
school districts. The Petitioner also notes that students are not transported to the facility by school
buses and that the facility will not include a serving kitchen that prepares meals for students.
H:\PLAN\Planning & Zoning COMM\P&Z 2026\Staff Repo rts\PZ-04-26 852 Feehanville Dr (CU-Unique Use)_03.30.26.docx
Other Departments
Other Village departments reviewed the proposal and did not object to the request. The Building
Department noted that a code analysis, bathroom fixture count analysis, and life safety plan must be
submitted with the building permit plans. The submittal shall include information regarding fire walls,
fire partitions, smoke partitions, fire -resistance ratings, use groups, occupant loads, means of egress,
and architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural details. The Fire Department
indicated that a fire sprinkler system, fire alarm system, additional means of egress, and an egress
plan will be required at the time of building permit submittal. As a result, modifications to the building
design may be necessary to ensure compliance with applicable local and state building codes.
The Village's Traffic Engineer reviewed the TIS and noted that if the pick-up and drop-off queue extends
onto Feehanville Drive, on -site measures must be implemented by NCISC to redirect the queue farther
east through the easternmost parking area. A condition of approval has been included to ensure that
vehicle stacking does not occur on adjacent roadways. The Public Works Department noted that all
proposed site improvements will be reviewed in greater detail during the building permit review
process.
The Police Department also did not object to the proposed use based on the call volume and nature of
the calls generated by their current facility in Des Plaines.
LONG-RANGE PLANNING
The Future Land Use Map in the Village's 2017 Comprehensive Plan designates the Subject Property as
"Business and Light Industrial". Primary uses within this category include corporate office, research,
Light industrial, manufacturing, and warehousing uses that do not create an appreciable nuisance or
hazard. Secondary uses include health services, training facilities, civic uses, and community
amenities. The proposed NCISC and NCYAA are generally consistent with this designation, as the
facility will function primarily as an office, training, and educational support center serving regional
school districts. The proposal also supports several key characteristics identified for this land use
category, including the adaptive reuse of an existing industrial building, the accommodation of a large
institutional employer within an established business park, and the introduction of a civic -oriented use
that supports workforce development, professional training, and community services. As such, the
proposed use aligns with the Comprehensive Plan's goal of promoting a diverse mix of employment
and institutional uses within business and light industrial areas.

Exhibit A
Standards and Findings of Fact
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 vicinity for 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 betaken 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 proposed North Cook Intermediate Service Center
(NCISC) and North Cook Young Adult Academy (NCYAA) use is compatible with surrounding industrial
uses. A portion of the facility will operate as "Offices, business and professional," which is a permitted
use in the 1-1 Limited Industrial District, while the remainder of the facility is classified as a "Unique Use"
requiring conditional use approval. The Petitioner notes that the proposed operations are comparable to
other similar uses located within the industrially zoned area, such as High Road School (580 Slawin
Court) and Park View Montessori School (1601 Feehanville Drive). The Petitioner further states that the
proposed use will not result in substantial injury to adjacent properties, as existing site features including
the recreational bike path, drainage ditch, and Village access easements will remain unaffected.
Additionally, the removal of the former property owner's salt storage shed is expected to provide
environmental benefit, while the site's existing stormwater drainage system will remain unchanged.
The Petitioner also indicates that the proposed use will not create hazardous traffic conditions. A Traffic
Impact Statement was submitted which concludes that the proposed use will generate minimal impacts
to the surrounding roadway network and that pick-up and drop-off activities will be accommodated on -
site through adequate vehicle stacking within the private parking lot. The removal of existing security
gates along Feehanville Drive is also intended to reduce the potential for vehicle stacking within the
public roadway. Finally, the Petitioner states that the proposed conditional use is consistent with the
Village's Comprehensive Plan as the proposed conditional use would provide support to39 regional
school districts and special education cooperatives, which aligns with Guiding Principles 3 and 4 of the
2017 Comprehensive Plan. The Petitioner further states that these guiding principles were identified by
the Village to provide for the access to institutions like the NCISC that support community health,
welfare, and job creation.
H:\PLAN\Planning & Zoning COMM\P&Z 2026\Staff Repo rts\PZ-04-26 852 Feehanville Dr (CU-Unique Use)_03.30.26.docx 14
Staff's Findings: Staff finds that the establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed
Intermediate Service Center and Young Adult Academy as a unique use will not be detrimental to, or
endanger, the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare and will not be injurious to the
uses and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted. The
Petitioner currently operates a similar intermediate service center in Des Plaines and has established
safety protocols and standard operating procedures that will be modified as necessary for the Mount
Prospect facility. The Petitioner also indicated that service calls at the existing facility have historically
been minimal. Any traffic generated by the facility, including student drop-off and staff parking, will be
accommodated entirely on -site and is not expected to adversely impact surrounding properties or public
streets.
Staff finds that adequate public utilities, access roads, drainage, and other necessary facilities have
been or will be provided. The proposal involves the reuse of the existing building, which is already served
by established public utilities, access drives, and stormwater drainage infrastructure. No significant
changes to these systems are proposed as part of the project, and the existing infrastructure is expected
to continue to adequately serve the site. Accordingly, the proposed use will not place additional
demands on public utilities or infrastructure beyond what is currently available.
Staff finds that adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress to the
Subject Property in a manner designed to minimize traffic congestion on public streets. The existing
building and site access drives will be reused, and the current internal circulation pattern and parking
supply are capable of accommodating the proposed use. As a condition of approval, all students will be
transported exclusively by licensed school transportation providers, and all pick-up and drop-off
activities will occur within the southern parking lot following a designated on -site circulation and queuing
pattern. Staggered arrival and dismissal times will be implemented at higher enrollment levels to ensure
vehicle stacking remains on -site, and staff will supervise student arrival and dismissal operations. The
site will maintain a minimum of 205 off-street parking spaces, which is sufficient to accommodate staff
and ancillary activities without impacting surrounding public streets.
Staff finds that the proposed conditional use is not contrary to the objectives of the Village's
Comprehensive Plan. The proposal involves the adaptive reuse of an existing industrial building within an
established business park and will accommodate a large institutional employer providing workforce
development, professional training, and community services. As such, the proposed use supports the
Comprehensive Plan'sobjective ofpromoting adiverse mix of employment, institutional and
community -service oriented uses within business and light industrial areas.
Staff finds that the proposed conditional use conforms to the applicable regulations of the 1-1 Limited
Industrial District and is conditioned to minimize potential impacts on the surrounding area while
ensuring the safety and welfare of its users. The request is consistent with the conditional use standards,
and staff supports the proposal. Other Village departments reviewed the Petitioner's plans and did not
object to the use, subject to building, fire, and engineering requirements that must be addressed prior to
issuance of occupancy.

Request to Waive Second Reading by Village Board

t,
Thank you for Village staff's assistance with the North Shore Intermediate Service Center's (NCISC) petition to
operate an intermediate service center and young adult academy at 852 Feehanville Drive. On March 26, 20267
the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of our Conditional Use Permit for a Unique Use within
the 1-1 zoning district by a 7-0 vote. Our request is scheduled to go before Village Board for the ordinance's first
reading on April 7, 2026. On behalf of the NCISC, we are requesting that the Village Board waive the second
reading, tentatively scheduled for April 21, 2026, and take final action at the April 7, 2026 meeting.
Interior demolition of the existing building is currently ongoing, and our design team is working toward issuance of
the Village Building Permit. We believe that waiving the second Village Board meeting will expedite the move -in
date for NCISC, whose current Des Planes lease ends in July 2026.
We appreciate the Village's consideration of our request. Please feel free to reach out if the Village needs any
additional information.
Sincerely,
raSmith

Expression of Gratitude for Continued, Partnership and'Support with NC,ISC
I m sharing this letter iin support of the North Cook Intermediate Service Center (NCISC) and to share the
essential services, it provides to School Districts, in our community. I curr ently serve as the Chair of the
NCI S C Board and am the Superintendent 'in Prospect Heights SD#23. Prior to m, , y time in this, District., I
served as the Principal at, Lincoln Middle'Sc hool in Mount Prospect SD,#57. In short, I have been working
in this, area for more than 20 years and understand thediligent work you and the Village of Mount
Prospect do to maintain the high, standards expected of the community.
As, the designated Regional Office of Educafor North Cook Countthe presence of NCISC is vital to
our collective success. Our district's ability to provide a safe, compliant, and innovative learnaing
environment is significantly strengthened by the comprehensive services and technical expertise their
team provides.
'The impact of their work spans every level of our operations. In particular, I would like to highlight the
following areas of su port:
P
of Regional Safety & Transportation: The scale of NCISC's trainning prograrn for 12,000 school blus
drivers across the Cook County suburbs and CPSremarkable aebieve�.ment. This: service is a
critical, component of student safety that resonates across the entire Chicagoiand area.
Cutt M*g-Edge Professi onal Development: The NCI S C has been,instrumental 'in, keeping our educators
at the foreftont of the field,. The high-level support for instructional coaching, Social -Emotional
Lea,rm"n,g� (SEL), effective teaching strateCFie,s,, equity and beloinging, and administrator academiles
have direc tly en hanced our roles.
* rnificant, Student Support Programs: Addressing the Wide and varied needs of all students is a sig
challenge for local, school districts. By pooling resources and centralizing servic,es,NCISC providel
ongo mig support to students through a wide range of programs. In District 23, our students receive
direct support at MacArthur Middle School to address truancy and school avoidance through the
I � � � � �
C "4801 T,
Admim, strative & Regulato Excellence: From, provng clari,ty on varied licensure requirements t
conducting thorough Health Life Safety 'inspections,,, their team ensures we meet the highest,
standards. Adffitionally their detailed compliance, reviews regarding, personnel, curr, iculum and
district policy provide us'with the essential oversight needed to remain, effective and accountable.
40
I am particularly excited, about the prospect of the new location in �Mount �Prospect. By providi ing a
centralized, home for all 39 school district's and, two special, education cooperatives, thilis move ensures that
NCISC's expert assistance is more accessil . ble than, ever. Furthermore,, we, believe, this �relocat�ion will
nghtfWly elevate Mount Prospect's status as a premier village, fbr educational sup 1 port and reg'onal
coillaboratiOn.
NCISC's tireless advocacy and professional, results -driven culture defines our region. We lookf6rward
many moire year, s of working together with. them 'in support of our students and community.

Re: Gratitude for Continued Partnership and Support with NCISC
Dear Mr. Shallcross:
As Superintendent of Wilmette Public School District 39, and a member of the North Cook
Intermediate Service Center (NCISC) Governing Board, I wish to formally recognize and
advocate for the NCISC, whose leadership and collaboration are vital to the success of all
schools across our region. The NCISC function as a strategic extension of the Illinois State
Board of Education ensuring that statewide standards are met with regional precision.
The NCISC is a critical partner in our daily operations. The scope of their work is both broad
and deeply technical, ensuring that our schools operate safely and effectively through
essential oversight in several key areas:
Compliance & Safety: They manage rigorous health life safety inspections and
permitting, ensuring every student learns in a secure, high -quality environment.
Professional Excellence: By overseeing educator licensure and providing high -tier
professional development, they keep our teachers at the forefront of instructional
best practices. Ultimately, impacting 130,000 students across the region.
Instructional Support: They develop specialized programming that directly
enhances classroom outcomes across the entire region.
Beyond these technical and regulatory functions, the NCISC's greatest strength lies in its
ability to act as a collaborative by bringing various educational experts together in job -alike
areas, such as: curriculum and instruction; student services; instructional coaches; diversity
equity and belonging; building and grounds; and district communications. These
collaboratives serve as safe and supportive spaces for leaders to learn, grow, and share best
practice across northern Cook County.
Specialty events planned and facilitated by NCSIC, like the December Superintendent &
Legislative Luncheon and the March Better Together PreK-8 Job Fair, have carved out new
opportunities for partnership in our area. NCSIC helps to bridge the gap between policy and
practice by way of listening and advocating for our students. As a collective, we are part of
an esteemed group of educators ensuring that those making the laws and those
implementing them are perfectly aligned, creating a unified front that maximizes the positive
impact on our children.
Ultimately, NCISC is the glue that holds our diverse educational landscape together. They
ensure that excellence in one district can be shared and scaled across the entire North Cook
region, providing an invaluable service to all of the families we serve, including those in
Mount Prospect. I am proud to stand in support of NCISC and its continued leadership in our
community and I also look forward to Mount Prospect being their new home.
Sincerely,

RE: Expression of Gratitude for Continued Partnership and Support with NCISC
Dear Mr. Cassady and Mr. Shallcross,
On behalf of Mount Prospect School District 57, I am writing to express our profound gratitude for the
unwavering support and professional expertise the North Cook Intermediate Service Center (NCISC)
consistently provides to our district. The specialized services offered by their team have become an
indispensable cornerstone of our operational success and educational excellence.
The breadth of assistance we receive from NCISC is remarkable, but I would like to specifically highlight
several areas where their impact has been most felt:
• Licensure Guidance: Navigating the complexities of educator licensure is a daunting task for
any personnel department. The NCISC Team's clear, timely, and accurate guidance ensures our
educators remain in good standing, allowing us to maintain a highly qualified workforce without
administrative delay.
• Health Life Safety Inspections: Ensuring the safety of our students and staff is our highest
priority. The professional oversight and collaborative spirit provided during facility inspections
help us maintain secure, compliant learning environments with confidence.
• Compliance Reviews: We deeply value the rigorous reviews NCISC conducts regarding our
curriculum, district policy, and instructional programs. These audits serve as a vital "second set
of eyes," ensuring that we not only meet but exceed state mandates for the benefit of our
students.
• Staffing & Personnel Support: NCISC's guidance on staffing details and personnel compliance
has allowed our leadership team to focus more on classroom impact and less on regulatory
troubleshooting.
• Professional Learning & Innovation: High-level workshops and training provided to our
educators and administrators are paramount to all. NCISC's focus on deeply needed
topics including Social -Emotional Learning (SEL), high -impact teaching strategies, restorative
practices, media literacy, and human -centered design equips our staff with the modern tools
necessary to foster inclusive and forward -thinking classrooms.
• Transportation Safety & Training: We are particularly impressed by NCISC's massive
regional impact in managing the training of 12,000 school bus drivers across the Cook County
suburbs and Chicago Public Schools (CPS) at various sites. This essential service ensures that
our students' journeys to and from school are overseen by well -prepared, safety -conscious
professionals.
The NCISC serves a vital role as the Regional Office of Education for North Cook County, and we are thrilled
about their upcoming transition. The potential new location in Mount Prospect offers a centralized, accessible
hub for all 39 school districts and two special education cooperatives in our region. This move not only
provides us with easier access to their essential assistance but will heighten Mount Prospect's profile as a center
for educational leadership in the state of Illinois.
The NCISC is more than a regulatory body; they are a true partner in our mission. The professionalism,
accessibility, and proactive approach of their staff make a tangible difference in the daily lives of our
administrators and, ultimately, our students. We hope to visit them in their new home in Mount Prospect and
continue our successful collaboration.

Expression of Gratitude for Continued Partnership and Support with NCISC
Dear Mr. Shallcross:
On behalf of Community Consolidated District 59, 1 am writing to formally recognize and
support the invaluable contributions of the North Cook Intermediate Service Center
(NCISC). As a pillar of our educational community, NCISC provides a comprehensive
suite of services that are essential to the daily operations and long-term success of
school districts throughout our region. Their role as a true partner ensures that our
schools remain safe, compliant, and at the forefront of instructional innovation.
The breadth of expertise provided by the NCISC team is remarkable, spanning
everything from the highly technical to the deeply instructional. Their guidance on
educator licensure is a lifeline for personnel departments, ensuring our workforce
remains qualified and classroom -ready without administrative delay. In terms of school
safety, their Health Life Safety inspections and rigorous compliance reviews of
curriculum and district policy provide essential guidance that allows us to exceed state
mandates. Furthermore, their massive regional impact on transportation
safety overseeing the training of 12,000 bus drivers across the Cook County suburbs
and Chicago is a testament to their commitment to student well-being far beyond the
classroom walls.
Beyond these regulatory functions, the NCISC serves as a catalyst for professional
growth. We benefit from professional learning and consultative support in areas such as
early childhood play -based learning, strategies for boosting student school attendance,
as well as administrator mentorship and leadership coaching. For educational leaders,
the NCISC offers a collaborative space to navigate complex staffing and personnel
issues.
SCHOOL DISTRICT 59
The reach of a regional office such as NCISC in Mount Prospect would make the village
synonymous with educational prowess. By anchoring their headquarters in Mount
Prospect, NCISC is not only streamlining access to their expertise but also elevating the
area's profile as a premier center for regional educational leadership and innovation.
The professionalism and solution -oriented approach of the NCISC staff make a tangible
difference in the lives of our administrators, teachers, and students. We are proud to
stand in support of their mission and look forward to continuing our successful
partnership in their new home.

Dear Mr. Shallcross:
I am writing in support of the North Cook Intermediate Service Center and its planned relocation to the
Village of Mount Prospect. As the Regional Office of Education for North Cook County, NCISC serves
school districts throughout the area and plays a critical role in supporting public education across the
region.
NCISC provides operational and compliance support that school districts rely on every day, including
educator licensure, health and life safety inspections, and curriculum and policy compliance. Their work
helps ensure districts operate responsibly and in compliance with state requirements, allowing local
leadership teams to remain focused on student learning while maintaining strong systems and
accountability.
Beyond compliance, NCISC contributes to leadership development and professional learning for
educators and administrators across North Cook County. Its consulting services, training programs, and
regional coordination, including large-scale transportation safety training, provide efficiencies and
expertise that benefit districts of all sizes.
Locating NCISC in Mount Prospect will improve accessibility for school districts and educators
throughout the region and strengthen collaboration among public education partners. The Village's
central location and commitment to supporting regional institutions make it well -suited to host the
Regional Office of Education.
District 214 supports NCISC's relocation to Mount Prospect and appreciates the Village's consideration
of its regional role. NCISC's presence will strengthen the educational infrastructure serving
communities across North Cook County.

Support for NCISC
Dear Mr. Shallcross:
Evanston High School District 202 considers the North Cook Intermediate Service Center
(NCISC) an essential architect of our regional success. I am writing to express our full support
for their work and to highlight the profound impact their expertise has on our district. NCISC is
far more than a regulatory agency; they are a dedicated partner ensuring that our district
remains safe, compliant, and deeply committed to instructional excellence.
The scope of support provided by the NCISC team is truly impressive, bridging the gap between
intricate administrative requirements and high-level classroom instruction. Their specialized
guidance on educator licensure provides a critical lens for our personnel department, keeping
our workforce qualified and ready to serve without delay. Beyond staffing, their rigorous Health
Life Safety inspections and curriculum audits offer the professional oversight necessary to
exceed state standards. Furthermore, their immense regional responsibility in training school
bus drivers across the Cook County suburbs and Chicago underscores a commitment to
student safety that extends well beyond the school building.
We also deeply value the NCISC as a driver of professional and leadership growth. Our district
has benefited immensely from their consultative support in specialized areas, including
evaluator training. For our leadership team, the center's leadership coaching programs provide
a collaborative space to navigate modern educational challenges, allowing us to focus our
energy on the students.
The Alternative Learning Opportunities Program and the North Cook Young Adult Academy
have offered a temporary safe space for learning to our students. At times, children who have
been met with challenges in a large setting find success in the small -group support offered
through NCISC. There, students take comfort in the individualized approach that centers social -
emotional needs throughout the day allowing students to return back to their homeschool and/or
earn their diploma or enter into the workforce. Our students build self-esteem, cultivate self-
Page 2
respect and self -management, while honing resilience affording them the chance to pave bright
futures.
Additionally, as an NCSIC Governing Board member the prospect of establishing the NCISC
headquarters in Mount Prospect in larger office space is a significant win for our entire
educational community. A centralized, accessible office in Mount Prospect would streamline
vital resources across the region. This move positions the area as a premier center for
innovation and leadership, benefiting the 39 districts and two special education cooperatives
that rely on NCISC' s expertise.
With sincere appreciation,

operating as an intermediate service center within the Illinois educational system. See 105 ILCS
5/2-3.62; see also 23 III. Adm. Code 525.30(a).
NCISC provides a range of supports and compliance functions to school districts in its region.
These include operating an Alternative Learning Opportunities Program (ALOP) pursuant to
Article 13B of the School Code and a Regional Safe Schools Program (RSSP) pursuant to Article
13A of the School Code. These programs are designed to assist school districts in meeting the
needs of students who require alternative educational pathways or safe school placements.
NCISC administers these programs in accordance with applicable statutory authority and
applicable administrative rules.

To Whom It May Concern,
I would like to take a moment to share my experience as a neighbor of the North
Cook Intermediate Service Center (NCISC) and the North Cook Young Adult
Academy (NCYAA).
NCISC has occupied space on the same property as our organization at 1001 E.
Touhy Ave. for the past seven years. During this time, they have been wonderful and
considerate neighbors. They are quiet, respectful, and consistently maintain their area
of the facility in a neat and orderly manner. While I am not certain of their student
enrollment, we have not experienced any changes in traffic flow or parking
availability.
In addition, NCISC contributed to the renovation of a conference room in our
building, which we have had the privilege of sharing and using on occasion.
If you have any questions, I can be reached at 847.635.4688 or via email at

To Whom It May Concern,
This letter serves to confirm that NCISC and NCYAA were tenants at our
property for seven (7) years. During their tenancy, they were professional,
respectful, and maintained a quiet presence within the building. They did
not create disturbances or require management intervention.
Additionally, they contributed positively to the property by assisting in the
renovation of the shared conference room (Suite 350), enhancing the
space for all occupants to utilize and enjoy.
We appreciate their tenancy and wish them continued success in their new
space.

Re: Support for NCISC at 852 Feehanville Drive
Dear Mr. Shallcross, Mr. Cassidy, and Ms. Choi,
I am writing in strong support of the North Cook Intermediate Service Center's (NCISC) relocation
to 852 Feehanville Drive in the Kensington Business District in Mount Prospect.
Although NCISC has just closed on the building and internal renovations have started, their progress
has been halted due to a zoning communication issue. In essence, NCISC is facing an issue with zoning
for the relocation because the Village of Mount Prospect has expressed that a school is not permitted
to reside in the Kensington Business Park area. However, according to the Illinois State Board
of Education (ISBE), NCISC is a program and is not a school.
While NCSIC does provide services to 39 surrounding school districts, including School Districts
571 26, 59, 23, 214, and Northwest Suburban Special Education Organization (NSSEO), it is important
to differentiate the services of their organization from the functions and legal classification of a school.
To provide clarity to distinguish this program from a school, the NCISC fills the function of the Regional
Office of Education in all of North Cook County, and provides the statutorily required Regional Safe
School Program. Its governmental responsibilities include oversight, compliance, professional
development, licensure, and alternative programming that strengthen public education systems throughout
the region. Students remain enrolled in and accountable to their home districts, no diplomas are issued,
and students are transported by specialized van service rather than school buses.
I hope that this new location for the NCISC, which serves over 130,000 North Cook constituents,
will be welcomed into the Kensington Business District in Mount Prospect. The NCISC has long
been established in the Mount Prospect community and continues to offer valuable resources
to local families and professionals alike.
Thank you for your consideration.

NCISC has completed the purchase of the property and initiated interior renovations* however,
progress has, been suspended due to a zoning determ�tnation indicating that school use 'is not
permitted within the Kensington Business, Park. It is important to; note that, according to the
Illinois State Board ofEducationl NCISC is not classified as a school but rather as an
educational support entity.
NCISC provides essential services to 39 surrounding school, districts; and fulfills many functions

MEMORANDUM TO: Dave Torres
Nicholas & Associates, Inc.
FROM: Luay R. Aboona, PE, PTOE
Principal
DATE: March 2, 2026
SUBJECT: Traffic Impact Statement
Proposed North Cook ISC
Mt. Prospect, Illinois
This memorandum summarizes the results of a traffic impact statement conducted by Kenig,
Lindgren, O'Hara, Aboona, Inc. (KLOA, Inc.) for the proposed North Cook ISC to occupy the
existing office building located at 852 Feehanville Drive in Mt. Prospect, Illinois. As proposed,
the eastern half will be occupied by the North Cook Young Adult Academy (NCYAA) while the
western half will be occupied by the North Cook ISC offices. Access to the two parking lots will
continue to be provided off Feehanville Drive.
The site is located at 852 Feehanville Drive within Kensington Center. The site is currently
occupied by a 63,000 square -foot building with a total of approximately 205 parking spaces.
Commercial/office uses surround the site. Figure I shows an aerial view of the site.
The characteristics of the existing roadways surrounding the site are described below.
Feehanville Drive is primarily an east -west roadway that extends from its signalized intersection
with Wolf Road to its northern all -way stop sign controlled terminus with Business Center Drive.
The roadway has one lane in each direction plus a dedicated bike lane. Its eastern intersection with
Business Center Drive is under all -way stop sign control. Feehanville Drive has a posted speed
limit of 30 miles per hour.
Business Center Drive is primarily an east -west roadway that extends from its signalized
intersection with Rand Road to its southern terminus at its all -way stop sign controlled intersection
with Feehanville Drive. The roadway has one through lane in each direction with a dedicated bike
lane and is widened from Wheeling Road to Rand Road to provide additional lanes to
accommodate left -turn lanes and/or a second through lane. Business Center Drive has a posted
speed limit of 30 miles per hour.

As indicated earlier, the plans for the 63,000 square -foot building call for use by North Cook ISC
with the eastern half to be occupied by North Cook Young Adult Academy (NCYAA) and the
western half to be occupied by the offices of North Cook ISC.
NCYAA is a regional program that embraces second chances through alternative
educational opportunities for students in grades 6 — 12. The program will have an initial
enrollment of 40 students with a maximum enrollment of 120 students in the next five to
seven years. The program will have 16 teachers initially, increasing to 40 at full enrollment.
Program hours will be between 9:00 A.M. and 3:30 P.M. with students transported to/from
program in taxis and minivans with three to four students per vehicle. There will be no
buses and no students will be allowed to drive or be dropped off/picked up by
parents/guardians.
The northern half of the building will be occupied by approximately 26 employees that will
potentially increase to 36 employees at full enrollment. Employee working hours will be
from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.
The site is served by two primary parking lots with the south lot providing approximately 167
spaces with 115 spaces adjacent to the building, of which four are handicap spaces, and the north
lot providing approximately 38 spaces. Both lots have separate access drives off Feehanville Drive
with outbound movements under stop sign control.
EstimatesTrip Generation
The total number of vehicle trips to be generated by the proposed North Cook ISC was estimated
based on information provided regarding enrollment and mode of transportation. As discussed
earlier, the program will have a maximum enrollment of 120 students with 40 teachers and a
maximum of 36 employees. The students will be transported via taxis and minivans with an
occupancy of three to four students per vehicle. It is anticipated that the start and finish times of
grades 6 — 8 will be staggered from the start and finish times of grades 9 — 12. Based on the above,
the traffic that will be generated during the peak start and finish times are summarized in Table 1.

The amount of traffic estimated to be generated by the proposed North Cook ISC was compared
with the traffic that would be generated by an office use occupying the 63,000 square -foot building.
Trip generation rates published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) in its 12th Edition
of the Trip Generation Manual were utilized. Table 2 was prepared showing the estimated trips
to be generated by the proposed North Cook ISC with the office use.
Table 2
TRIP GENERATION COMPARISON
Weekday A.M. Weekday P.M.
Land Use Peak Hour Peak Hour
In Out Total In Out Total
As can be seen, the proposed North Cook ISC will generate slightly higher traffic volumes
(averaging approximately one trip every minute) during the peak hours. This increase is not
significant and will only occur when the program reaches its maximum enrollment, which is
expected to occur in the next five to seven years.
El
PIMIRMIM.. P,`*
The traffic estimated to be generated by the proposed North Cook ISC will not have a significant
impact due to the following:
The program -generated traffic will be distributed to the area roadways via two full -
movement access drives.
The peak arrival and departure times of the program's traffic will generally be outside the
peak hours of the adjacent commercial uses.
When compared to the traffic generated by office building at full occupancy, the proposed
North Cook ISC will result in a low increase in traffic, which will only occur if the program
is at maximum enrollment.
As indicated earlier, all students will be transported via taxis and minivans. There will be no buses
and students will not be allowed to drive or be transported by their parents/guardians. All drop-off
and pick-up activities will occur within the southern parking lot, where vehicles will enter the
southern drive aisle and circulate in a counterclockwise direction to line up along the northern curb
to drop off and pick up students by the eastern entrance to the program building.
During drop-offs only, students in the first three vehicles in line will be allowed to exit their
vehicles. During pick-ups, students will wait inside the building until their vehicle arrives.
Approximately 28 vehicles can be accommodated within the parking lot without extending onto
Feehanville Drive. This amount of stacking will be adequate for the initial enrollment of 40
students. However, as the enrollment increases and reaches its maximum of 120 students, it is
recommended that the start and finish times of grades 6 — 8 and grades 9 — 12 be staggered. With
approximately two-thirds of students expected to be in grades 9 —12, the stacking requirement will
be approximately 22 vehicles, which can be accommodated within the parking lot.
As indicated earlier, teachers and employees will arrive at the site before the program's start time
and will not depart until the students leave. As such, all vehicles utilizing the southern parking lot
would be parked by the time students arrive and will not conflict or interfere with the drop-off and
pick-up operations.
Figure 2 illustrates the path of vehicles dropping off/picking up students and the maximum
number of vehicles that can stack on site.

As indicated earlier, at maximum capacity the program will have 40 teachers and 36 employees
for a total of 76 on -site staff. Assuming every employee drives, this will translate into a peak
parking demand of 76 spaces.
For other ancillary uses such as testing, training, etc., a maximum number of 80 people is
anticipated. With the conservative assumption that every person will drive alone, the estimated
parking demand will be 80 spaces. Combined with the staffing demand (76 spaces), the total
demand will be less than the existing supply of 205 spaces. For the gymnasium, being open to the
public after program hours and with a bleacher capacity of 150 people, the projected demand
assuming every person drives alone (highly unlikely) of 150 spaces will be less than the existing
supply.
•
Based on the proposed development plan and the preceding evaluation, the following conclusions
and recommendations are made:
• The building will be occupied by North Cook ISC in order to operate the North Cook
Young Adult Academy (NCYAA).
�► The total volume of traffic that will be generated will be low and will occur during off-
peak hours.
When compared to the traffic that would be generated by an office use, the increase in
traffic will be minimal.
Access to the site will continue to be provided via two full -movement access drives off
Feehanville Drive.
Drop-off and pick-up activities can be adequately accommodated on site within the
southern parking lot.
Staggering of start and end times of grades 6 — 8 and grades 9 — 12 is recommended at full
occupancy to reduce the required stacking of drop-off/pick-up vehicles on site.
The parking supply of 205 spaces will be adequate in accommodating the peak demand at
full enrollment as well as the ancillary uses.

Petitioner and Property Owner
Chairman Donnelly called the meeting to order at7:01 PM. Commissioner Olsen made
motion seconded by Commissioner Szymczak to approve the minutes from the Planning
and Zoning Commission meeting on February 26, 2026. The minutes were approved 5-0,
with two Commissioners abstaining.
After hearing one item of New Business, Chairman Donnelly introduced Case PZ-04-26,
852 Feehanville Drive, a request for conditional use approval for a unique use to operate an
intermediate service center and young adult academy.
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting — March 26, 2026 PZ-04-26
Ms. Choi presented an overview of the petitioner's request fora conditional use fora
unique use to operate an intermediate service center and young adult academy that would
serve students in the North Cook County school districts. Ms. Choi stated that the
proposed use would provide comprehensive professional learning, operational and
compliance resources and public educational services including alternative public -school
programs for the property located at 852 Feehanville Drive. Ms. Choi further stated that the
proposal requires Village Board approval to approve the conditional use request fora
unique use.
Ms. Choi presented the background of the subject property and indicated that the subject
property was annexed into the Village in 1980 and is located within the Kensington
Business Center, southeast of the intersection of Business Center Drive and Feehanville
Drive. Ms. Choi stated that the subject property is zoned 1-1 Limited Industrial District and
includes portion of stormwater detention pond located east side of the existing
building. Surrounding properties are also zoned 1-1 Limited Industrial District and include
Bishop Plumbing, Heating and Cooling to the north, Avery Dennison Corporation to the
south, Camelot Therapeutic School to the east, and Cummins Allison to the west. Maple
Trails Park is also located to the west of the Subject Property.
Ms. Choi also stated that Village records indicate that the Cummins Allison Corporation, a
manufacturer of coin and currency handling solutions occupied the existing building since
2006. In February 2026, the North Cook Intermediate Service Center (NCISC) purchased
the property and submitted a building permit application for a complete interior renovation
of the building and some minor site improvements. Ms. Choi explained that the NCISC
currently operates an intermediate service center in Des Plaines and plans to relocate to
the Mount Prospect facility in late August 2026 following completion of construction.
Ms. Choi presented the proposed site plan which would not change from the existing
conditions, except that a ramp will be installed to accommodate the easternmost
accessible parking spaces and the east parking lot will also be striped. An existing sanitary
service will also be replaced.
Ms. Choi went on to present the overview and services of the NCISC and explained that the
facility serves as a regional support hub for schools across North Cook County and acts as
the link between the State Board of Education and 41 local school districts and
organizations. Ms. Choi stated that their work focuses on professional development for
educators, operational and compliance support for districts, and student -focused
services like transportation training and truancy support. Ms. Choi noted that the NCISC is
also expanding services to include a health center, a food pantry and resource store, a
Pearson Testing Center, and flexible community space to serve as a comprehensive
resource for the Village.
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting — March 26, 2026 PZ-04-26
Ms. Choi further explained that the NCISC directly serves students through the North Cook
Young Adult Academy, or NCYAA. Ms. Choi stated that this program provides alternative
education for students in grades 6 through 12 who are referred by their home school
districts, and that the NCYAA supports students who face academic, behavioral, or social -
emotional challenges, with smaller class sizes and individualized instruction to help them
stay on track for graduation. Ms. Choi noted that the program is expected to start with
approximately 40 students and has a capacity of 120 students over time, while maintaining
strong connections with each student's home district.
Ms. Choi explained that the NCYAA includes two primary programs. The Alternative
Learning Opportunities Program, or ALOP, supports students who benefit from a more
flexible and supportive learning environment. Ms. Choi noted that the Regional Safe School
Program, or RSSP, serves students who are suspended or facing expulsion and need a
more structured setting. Ms. Choi stated that both programs focus on individualized
instruction, behavioral support, and helping students continue to progress academically,
with the goal of transitioning them back to their home schools when appropriate.
Ms. Choi presented the floor plan noting that the NCISC proposes to remodel the existing
building to operate the NCISC, including the NCYAA, and stated that the NCISC would
occupy the entire approximately 63,000-square-foot building. Ms. Choi stated that the
western half of the building will be occupied by the offices of the NCISC and the eastern
half will be occupied by the NCYAA. Daily operations are anticipated to occur primarily
during normal business and school hours, with traffic, noise, and parking demand
expected to be comparable to office uses currently permitted in the 1-1 Limited Industrial
District. Ms. Choi stated that construction is anticipated to occur from April through
August 2026, with operations expected to begin at the start of the 2026-2027 school year
on August 21, 2026.
Ms. Choi stated that from an operational standpoint, the NCISC has experienced relatively
limited incidents at its current Des Plaines location and that most of these incidents were
student -related and were addressed through administrative actions and support services,
and there were no reported incidents during the most recent school year. Ms. Choi further
stated that the program has established standard operating procedures, including secured
single -point entry with monitored access control, staff supervision during all transitions,
immediate administrative notification and parent or guardian contact if a student attempts
to leave without authorization, incident documentation and behavioral follow-up planning,
and coordination with sending school districts and local authorities when necessary.
These procedures would be carried over to and adapted to the Mount Prospect facility,
with staffing and supervision increasing as enrollment grows to maintain safety standards.
Ms. Choi presented a five-year summary of Emergency Service Calls at their existing facility
in Des Plaines. Ms. Choi pointed out that two incidents have occurred in the past 5 years
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting — March 26, 2026 PZ-04-26
4
where students have left the premises without authorization, and zero incidents occurred
between 2024-2025 school year.
Ms. Choi noted that the NCYAA operates at a relatively modest enrollment of 34 students
at its Des Plaines location. Ms. Choi stated that at the proposed Mount Prospect site,
enrollment is expected to increase to about 40 students in the first year, with gradual
growth to just over 100 students within the next five years. To support that growth, Ms. Choi
explained that the program will scale its operations accordingly, including maintaining a
low staff -to -student ratio, adding support staff, and introducing staggered arrival and
dismissal times as enrollment increases. Ms. Choi added that additional supervision and
security measures will also be implemented as the program approaches full capacity, and
Longer -term, some students may be served through virtual programming options.
In terms of staffing, Ms. Choi stated that the program is designed to scale gradually
alongside enrollment. At opening, the NCYAA is expected to have about 16 staff members,
with an additional 26 administrative staff supporting NCISC operations. As enrollment
increases, NCYAA staffing will grow proportionally, reaching approximately 35 to 40 staff at
full capacity and an additional 36 administrative staff. Ms. Choi indicated that the program
maintains a low staff -to -student ratio of about 1:3, which helps ensure strong supervision
and individualized support. Overall, the staffing model is structured to expand in step with
enrollment while maintaining service quality and safety.
Ms. Choi explained that students will be transported by their home school districts using
licensed taxis and minivans, and students will not be driving themselves or dropped off by
parents. Drop-off will occur between 8:45-9 AM and pick-up will occur 3:25-3:40 PM. All
drop-off and pickup activity will occur on -site within the southern parking lot, using a
controlled circulation pattern to manage traffic flow and queuing. At opening, the site is
expected to generate about 57 daily trips, increasing to approximately 146 trips at full
enrollment. Ms. Choi stated that the site is designed to accommodate vehicle queuing on -
site, and as enrollment increases, staggered arrival and dismissal times will be
implemented to ensure traffic remains contained within the property and does not impact
surrounding roadways.
Ms. Choi reviewed the safety and security measures and stated that the facility will operate
as a secured environment with controlled access and 24-hour camera surveillance.
Visitors to the NCYAA are by appointment only and subject to identification procedures,
and staff are trained in emergency response, including CPR, AED use, and non-violent
crisis intervention. The program also follows established school safety protocols for
situations like lockdowns, evacuations, and reunification. On a day-to-day basis, students
remain indoors and are supervised at all times, including during arrival and dismissal, and
middle and high school students are kept in separate groups. Ms. Choi noted that these
measures will be implemented at the Mount Prospect location in coordination with local
emergency responders to ensure a comprehensive safety plan is in place.
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting — March 26, 2026 PZ-04-26

Ms. Choi then reviewed the parking and site capacity and stated that the property includes
205 parking spaces, which is sufficient to support both daily operations and ancillary uses.
At full enrollment, staffing is expected to reach around 76 employees, and the available
parking can accommodate that demand even if all staff arrive by personal vehicle. The site
can also support occasional activities, such as training sessions or gymnasium use,
without exceeding parking capacity. Ms. Choi stated that staff is confident that the existing
parking supply and layout are adequate and no additional parking improvements are
needed.
Ms. Choi noted that no changes to the site layout are proposed, and improvements will
generally be limited to interior renovations. The existing access, parking, and infrastructure
are adequate to support the use. Ancillary services like a health center, food pantry, and
testing center may operate by appointment, and the facility may also be used for
community activities during evenings or weekends. Ms. Choi stated that these uses are
Low -impact and can be accommodated without any additional site improvements.
Ms. Choi explained that the proposal is also consistent with the Village's Comprehensive
Plan, supports several key planning objectives identified in the Comprehensive Plan. Ms.
Choi further stated that the objectives include the adaptive reuse of an existing industrial
building, the introduction of a large institutional user within an established business park,
and the addition of a civic -oriented use that supports workforce development and
community services. Ms. Choi reiterated that the proposal is consistent with the Plan's
goal of promoting a diverse mix of employment supporting uses in these areas.
Ms. Choi also reminded the Commission that the agenda packet includes 15 letters of
support received from Mount Prospect school district superintendents (Districts 57, 26,
59, 23, 214), school district superintendents in North Cook, and some of the NCISC
Governing Board members (also school district superintendents in North Cook in
Wheeling, Wilmette, Evanston); three state representatives; and from neighbors of the Des
Plaines ISC, as submitted by the petitioner.
Ms. Choi concluded her presentation with staff's recommendation to approve the
conditional use, subject to the conditions listed in the staff report (restated below). Ms.
Choi 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

Ms. Choi stated that the Village Board's decision is final for the case and concluded her
presentation.
Commission's Questions for Staff
Vice Chairman Beattie inquired about the nature and intent of the proposed conditions of
approval, particularly whether the operational requirements reflected new Village -
imposed standards or existing practices of the petitioner. Director Shallcross explained
that the conditions were primarily derived from the petitioner's own operational
procedures as demonstrated at their existing facilities. Director Shallcross emphasized
that extensive coordination occurred between staff and the petitioner, including multiple
iterations of draft conditions, to ensure that the final conditions accurately reflect how the
facility currently operates while maintaining appropriate oversight. Director Shallcross
further noted that the intent was not to impose unnecessary operational constraints, but
rather to formalize the petitioner's stated practices into enforceable conditions.
Vice Chairman Beattie also asked whether any concerns had been raised by surrounding
property owners or businesses within the Kensington Business Center. Ms. Choi indicated
that no formal concerns or inquiries had been received. Director Shallcross explained that
the subject property is located within a business park that already contains several
institutional and service -oriented uses, including facilities serving individuals with
disabilities and youth -oriented training programs. Based on this context, Director
Shallcross stated that the proposed use is compatible with the surrounding area and
consistent with the existing character of the business park.
Commissioner Weir raised additional questions regarding hours of operation and site
activity. Ms. Choi clarified that standard operational hours are proposed from
approximately 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with student drop-off and pick-up occurring shortly
after and before those times. Director Shallcross added that limited after-hours activities
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting — March 26, 2026 PZ-04-26
12
may occur, including extracurricular or community -oriented uses such as gymnasium use,
which would be restricted to between 4:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.
Commissioner Rogers inquired about outdoor activities associated with the facility.
Director Shallcross explained that outdoor activities would be minimal in nature and
generally limited to small, supervised group activities. Occasional larger gatherings, such
as ice cream socials, may occur in designated areas such as the parking lot on a limited
basis. Director Shallcross indicated that final locations for outdoor activities would be
reviewed and approved at the Director's discretion during the permitting process.
Chairman Donnelly swore in the civil engineer and representative for the peitioner, Dan
Miletic of raSmith, 375 Shuman Blvd, Naperville IL, and the petitioner, April Jordan, 1001 E
TouhyAvenue, Des Plaines IL.
Petitioner Presentation
Mr. Miletic introduced the request and expressed appreciation for staff's thorough review
process and collaboration throughout the application. Mr. Miletic stated that the proposed
facility would provide a valuable service to the region and emphasized that the conditions
of approval were developed cooperatively with staff.
April Jordan, Executive Director of the NCISC, provided an overview of the organization and
its role within the regional education system. Ms. Jordan explained that the NCISC is one of
a limited number of regional offices of education in the State of Illinois and serves
approximately 39 school districts and two education cooperatives and over 130,000
students. Ms. Jordan stated that the organization provides a range of services including
professional development for educators, administrative support, and specialized student
programming.
Ms. Jordan clarified that the facility is not solely a traditional school, but rather a
combination of administrative offices and specialized educational programs. Certain
programs, such as the Regional Safe School Program and Alternative Learning
Opportunities Program, provide temporary placements for students who require additional
support beyond what is available in their home districts. Ms. Jordan noted that these
programs are designed to help students recover credits, improve attendance, and
ultimately transition back to their home schools.
Commission Questions for the Petitioner
Commissioners asked several questions to better understand the operational
characteristics of the facility. Chairman Donnelly asked if the other schools would stay
active and this would be a relocation of the school. Ms. Jordan clarified that the NCISC is
an office first as the Regional Office of Education (ROE) and the ROE would offer programs
for the students that are within their school districts. Ms. Jordan stated that the NCISC is
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting — March 26, 2026 PZ-04-26
13
an extension of the school for a temporary period when students need support that might
supersede what is already offered at their home school.
Vice Chairman Beattie inquired whether the proposed facility would function as a full -day
school where students attend throughout the day, or if it would operate on a partial -day
basis where students come in for specific classes or services. Ms. Jordan explained that
the North Cook Young Adult Academy includes two programs: the Regional Safe Schools
Program and the Alternative Learning Opportunities Program. Ms. Jordan explained that
students typically attend on a temporary basis to recover credits or receive additional
support and most students attend the program for the full school day, although some may
Leave early for employment or internship opportunities. Ms. Jordan further noted that the
Alternative Learning Opportunities Program primarily serves students experiencing chronic
absenteeism or credit deficiencies and draws participants from multiple school districts.
Vice Chairman asked what happens if the need is greater than the 120-space capacity
offered. Ms. Jordan stated that the facility would operate with a maximum enrollment of
approximately 120 students, and stated that if demand exceeds capacity, placement
decisions would be coordinated with individual school districts, and alternative
arrangements would be identified. Ms. Jordan also noted that not all students are
appropriate for placement within the program, and some may be referred elsewhere
depending on their specific needs.
Commissioner Weir inquired whether the NCISC is a publicly funded entity affiliated with
public school districts, and whether students from private schools are also eligible to
participate. Ms. Jordan responded that the NCISC serves only public school districts within
the North Cook region through intergovernmental agreements and a special education
cooperative. Ms. Jordan noted that the organization functions as an extension of the Illinois
State Board of Education, with funding derived from a combination of State support, tuition
from participating school districts, and other supplemental funding sources secured by
the organization.
Commissioner Weir inquired about student transportation to the facility and whether
students travel from their home schools. Ms. Jordan clarified that students are transported
directly from their homes to the facility and back to their homes by certified transportation
providers, such as taxis or vans, arranged through their home school districts. Ms. Jordan
confirmed that students do not physically attend their home schools during the day.
Commissioner Weir asked how students are separated by age group and whether
classroom instruction is organized strictly by grade level or based on individual academic
needs. Ms. Jordan responded that students are generally grouped by age, with middle
school and high school students primarily separated; however, some limited co -mingling
may occur based on academic needs. Ms. Jordan explained that student placement is
determined through pre -assessment and review of academic records/transcripts, allowing

instruction to be tailored to each student's current level, with flexibility to adjust
placement as needed.
Chairman Donnelly reiterated that students attending the program are typically behind
academically and placed in appropriate classes to help them catch up, with the goal of
returning to their home schools. Ms. Jordan confirmed that many students enter the
program needing academic support and are placed in classes suited to their instructional
level to help them make progress. Ms. Jordan added that the program also serves high -
achieving students who may lack support in traditional settings, noting that the small class
sizes allow for more individualized instruction and attention.
Commissioner Weir restated that the facility functions solely as a school and also includes
administrative offices, and asked how the program is structured at the State and regional
Level. Ms. Jordan explained that the facility includes both program space and
administrative offices, and that the NCISC operates as part of a broader statewide system
of Regional Offices of Education and Intermediate Service Centers. Ms. Jordan noted that
the Regional Safe Schools Program is a legislatively required program offered by each
region but emphasized that the NCISC serves only students from the North Cook region.
Vice Chairman Beattie inquired how the proposed program compares to other alternative
education facilities, such as Forest View School, and whether it serves a similar or
complementary role. Ms. Jordan explained that while some larger school districts, such as
District 214 served by Forest View, have the resources and facilities to provide their own
alternative education programs, not all districts have that capacity. Ms. Jordan noted that
the NCISC program serves as a resource for districts that lack the space or staffing to
support such programs independently.
Commissioner Rogers asked whether the facility would include any outdoor recreational or
activity spaces for students aside from the gymnasium. Ms. Jordan responded that the
facility will primarily utilize indoor spaces, including the full-size gymnasium. Ms. Jordan
noted that while most student activities will occur indoors, limited outdoor activities may
take place on -site, such as small group activities near the pond or occasional events in the
parking lot such as ice cream socials or Cinco de Mayo Day, which may be used
periodically for gatherings.
Chairman Donnelly asked how lunch service would be handled at the facility. Ms. Jordan
explained that the facility will include a warming kitchen rather than a full -service kitchen.
Ms. Jordan noted that, initially, meals may be provided through outside vendors or local
restaurants, with the potential to expand food service options as enrollment increases.
Ms. Jordan also clarified that both administrative and program functions will be relocated
to the new facility while continuing to serve students.

Commissioner Weir asked whether the facility is being leased or owned. Ms. Jordan
responded that the NCISC has purchased the property in Mount Prospect.
Vice Chairman Beattie also asked whether the petitioner had reviewed and agreed to the
proposed conditions of approval. Ms. Jordan confirmed that the conditions accurately
reflect their current operations and are not considered burdensome.
Public Comments
Hearing no further questions from the Planning and Zoning Commission, Chairman
Donnelly swore in the following individuals:
• Mary Kate Smith, District 214, Director of Student Services, 2121 S Goebbert Rd,
Arlington Heights, IL
• Arlen Gould, CCSD21 — Board of Education, North Cook Managing Board of
Directors
Ms. Smith spoke in support of the NCISC, describing it as a valuable partner that assists
school districts in addressing challenges such as student attendance, behavioral support,
and services for at -risk youth. Ms. Smith stated that locating the NCISC in Mount Prospect
would provide a centralized and accessible resource for educators and staff,
strengthening regional support services and operations.
Mr. Gould spoke in support of the NCISC, emphasizing its critical role in supporting local
school districts. Mr. Gould noted that NCISC provides essential services that individual
districts may not be able to offer independently, enabling improved educational outcomes
for students. Mr. Gould added that investment in such programs yields long-term benefits
and cost savings and expressed appreciation for the Commission's consideration and
support.
Chairman Donnelly expressed support for the proposal, noting his familiarity with special
education placement considerations as he had two children use facilities outside of their
district, including the importance of identifying the least restrictive environment for
students. Chairman Donnelly stated that having a facility within the district provides an
important local option for students with varying needs, reducing the need to place
students outside the district and supporting better educational outcomes through
appropriate placement.
Hearing no further comments from the Commission, Chairman Donnelly closed the public
hearing and requested a motion.
Vice Chairman Beattie made a motion to approve the conditional use request with the
conditions listed in the staff report, and Commissioner Szymczak seconded the motion.
