Chairman Donnelly called the meeting to order at 7:03 PM. Commissioner Szymczak made a motion

meeting on August 14, 2025. The minutes were approved 4-0.
After suspending the first item of business, Chairman Donnelly introduced case number PZ-18-25, 834
East Rand Road Unit 12, a request for a conditional use to operate a massage therapy establishment at
the subject property.
Ms. Lalagos introduced the subject property, a multi -tenant office condominium building with a mixture
of professional office uses. She reported that Unit 12 was purchased in 2022 by Mongolian Massage
Therapy Spa Inc. Ms. Lalagos noted that the current owners obtained conditional use approval to
operate a massage therapy business via Ordinance 6663.
Ms. Lalagos explained that the petitioner is purchasing the subject property and the business from the
current owners. She shared that the business legal entity and DBA, Mongolian Massage Therapy Spa Inc,
will remain the same, with the petitioner replacing the current owners as the sole officer of the
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting — October 23, 2025 PZ-18-25
corporation. Ms. Lalagos stated that the petitioner submitted a business license application and a
massage therapy addendum according to the requirements of Village Code Chapter 11, Article 7 for
Massage Establishments.
Ms. Lalagos reported that the business occupies 938 square feet and no changes are proposed for the
interior or exterior of the building. She noted that the proposed hours of operation are 10AM to 10PM
daily, with services provided by appointment only. According to the petitioner's application, the
business will have three licensed massage therapists (the current owners and the petitioner), with the
intent to hire additional licensed staff in the future. Services include Mongolian massage, deep tissue
massage, and Swedish massage, with hot stone and herbal compress options.
Ms. Lalagos indicated that the subject property is zoned B-4 Corridor Commercial Planned Unit
Development (PUD). She asserted that the subject property is a collection of office condominiums with
adequate parking. Ms. Lalagos shared that the proposed business is by appointment only and the
petitioner expects to have up to ten people on the premises at any time. The petitioner noted in his
application that the parking lot has three parking spots reserved for Unit 12.
Ms. Lalagos concluded that staff finds that the proposed conditional use meets the applicable standards
contained in the Mount Prospect Zoning Ordinance. She requested that the Planning and Zoning
Commission make a motion to adopt staff's findings as the findings of the Planning and Zoning
Commission and recommend approval of the following motion:
"A conditional use to operate a massage therapy establishment at 834 East Rand Road Unit 12, subject
to the following conditions:
1. Any massage therapist employed at the business establishment shall hold a valid massage
therapist license with the State of Illinois;
2. Compliance with all applicable development, fire, building, and other Village Codes and
regulations; and
3. A new conditional use approval shall be required for:
a. A change of ownership involving So% or more of the officers or partners;
b. A change in legal entity; or
c. A change in location."
Ms. Lalagos stated that the Village Board's decision is final for this case.
Seeing no questions from the Commissioners, Chairman Donnelly invited the petitioner to the stand.
Chairman Donnelly swore in the petitioner, Ganzorig Ulziitogtokh of Mongolian Massage Therapy Spa
Inc, 834 East Rand Rd Unit 12, Mount Prospect.
Chairman Donnelly asked the petitioner to provide a brief description of their case.
Mr. Ulziitogtokh stated that he has a massage therapist license and that he is purchasing the business
because the current owner wants to retire.
Hearing no further comments or questions, Chairman Donnelly closed the hearing and asked for a
motion to approve the conditions as noted in the staff report. Commissioner Weir made a motion and
Commissioner Szymczak seconded the motion.
