ZBA-36-01 -CONDITIONAL USE (AMEND A pLANNEDUN~P~IEbIT)
400 E. GREGORY
HARRY SCHMIDT, pREsIDENT OF CHRISTIAN LIFE COLLEGE - APPLICANT
The Planning and Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation tu approve Case ZBA-36-01, a
Conditional Use request to amend a Planned Unit Development for the Christian Life College, as described in
detail in the attached staff report. The Planning and Zoning Commission heard the request at their January 24,
2002 meeting.
The subject property is located along Rand Road, north of Gregory Street and south of Gregory Park. The

petitioner plans to build an archive area in the basement of the Lib~ and Administrative Student Center.
The Planning and Zoning Commission discussed the impact of the development on the adjacent properties, access
to the site, detention requirements, and the materials and design of the proposed student housing buildings. The
Planning and Zoning Corrmaission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the Conditional Use request to amend the
Planned Unit Development for the property at 400 E. Gregory with the following conditions:
1. Development of the site in conformance with the site plans prepared by Roberts Construction, dated
January 29, 2002;
2. Submission of a final landscape plan meeting all requirements of Article XXIH Landscape Code of the
Village of Mount Prospect Zoning Code and also includes the following:
· Phase I shall include the addition of five percent landscaping to the interior of the existing parking lot;
· a continuous three-foot hedge of varying species along the perimeter of the east, south, and
portions of the west prope~ lines, without creating sight triangle obstructions and allowing for
flexibility along the north lot line;
· foundation landscaping on the west and south elevations of thc new buildings;
· pine trees along the cast area of the Phase V parking area that screen the entire parking area;
3. Submission of a Lighting plan as required by Sec. 14.2219 of the Zoning Ordinance;
4. Submittal and approval of final Engineering Plans meeting all Development Code requirements which
include but are not limited to:
· All Development Code requirements be met in Phase I with particular concern paid to the impacts

Chairperson Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:30p.m. Ms. juraenk welcomed everyone to the fu'st
meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission that is comprised of the former Zoning Board of Appeals and the
Plan Commission. She introduced new members Joseph Donnelly and former Plan Gommission member, Matthew
Sledz. At 8:34, aRer hearing Case No. ZBA-32-01, Case No. PC-14-01, and Gase No. ZBA-34-01, Ms. Juracek
introduced Case No. ZBA-36-01, a request for a Conditional Use to amend a PUD. She said that this ease is Village
Board final.
Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, introduced the staff memorandum for the case. Ms. Connolly stated that the subject
property was originally the Northside School and later sold to the Christian Life Ghuroh. In 1992, when the church
wanted to expand and include a college, they applied for a Conditional Use for a Planned Unit Development. She said
that the Planned Unit Development (PUD) provided for a larger church, a coilege, and a libra~ ~hat would be built at a
later date.
Ms. Connolly said that the PUD was amended at the petitioner's request in 1993 to allow for a new 750-seat sanctuary
and conversion of the 532-seat chapel into a multi-purpose room when the sanctuary was complete. As part of that
PUD approval, the petitioner was allowed to do the improvements in phases. The chapel addition was completed in
1994.
Ms. Connolly explained that the current request to amend the PUD is a five-year plan that includes constructing
student housing, a library, an administrative student center, a 9$0-seat sanctuary, and converting the existing chapel to
a multi-purpose room upon completion of the sanctuary. She said that the petitioner plans to build an archive area in
the basement of the library and administrative student center if funding is available at a future date.

Ms. Connolly described the phases of the project, how each structure would be used, the proposed building materials,
and setbacks. She said that in order to approve changes to the planned unit development, the project must meet the
standards for a conditional use and standards for planned unit development with other exceptions. She cited the
conditional use standards: that the request may not have a detrimental effect on the public health, safety, morals,
comfort or general welfare; that the conditional use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other
properties in the vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties; that adequate provision of utilities and
drainage and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on Village streets; and compliance of the conditional
use with the provisions of the comprehensive plan, zoning code, and other Village ordinances.
Ms. Connolly explained that the required findings for planned unit developments that do not comply with the
requirements of the underlying district regulations are allowed when the exceptions are consistent with the standards
for planned unit development with other exceptions listed in the zoning ordinance. She said that these standards relate
to: any reduction in the requirements of this chapter is in the public interest; the proposed exceptions would not
adversely impact the value or use of any other property; that such exceptions are solely for the purpose of promoting
..... -better development which will be beneficial to the residents or occupants of the planned unit development as' well as
those of the surrounding properties; that all buildings are located within the planned unit development in such a way as
to dissipate any adverse impact on adjoining buildings and shall not invade the privacy of the occupants of such
buildings; all structures located on the perimeter of the planned unit development must be set back by a distance
sufficient to protect the privacy and amenity of adjacent existing uses; all structures located along the entire perimeter
of the planned unit development must be permanently screened with sight proof screening in a manner that is sufficient
to protect the privacy and amenity of adjacent existing uses.
Ms. Connolly described the existing conditions of the subject property as 7.12 acres with a chapel, classrooms, and a
parking lot. She said that there is significant green space along the Rand Road frontage and the west property line.
The site is accessed from one ofthree ~arb-eu/.s offof GregOry Street. The subject property is adjacent to smgle family
residential, a park, and across the street from single family. She said that the petitioner is seeking to amend an existing
Planned Unit Development in addition to relief from setback regulations for the parking areas.
Ms. Connolly discussed the Comprehensive Plan designation and stated that the Village's General Land Use Map
designates the property as 'Industrial/Office'. She said that although the proposed expansion contains elements of the
Land Use Map designation, the proposed project is an institutional use and is not entirely consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan. At one time, it may have been thought that the Kensington Business Center or a similar type
development would expand across Rand Road on the subjoct property. Ms. Coanolly said that staff is in the process of
updating the General Land Use Map and that the Planning and Zoning Commission will be asked to revisit this
property regarding whether the Industrial/Offica designation is still appropriate for this site.
With regards to the proposed setbacks, Ms. Connolly said that the buildings comply with setback regulations, but
sections of the parking area do not. She said that the Zoning Ordinance requires a 10-foot setback for parking lots and
that the petitioner is seeking relief for the parking setback along the north and east lot lines since a 9-foot setback is
proposed along the north lot line and a 7.5-foot setback is proposed for sections along the east lot line (Rand Road).
Ms. Connolly said the petitioner's plan shows that the parking spaces will be installed in a manner that is consistent
with implementation of each phase of development. At the completion of the project, 353 parking spaces will be
installed, including two handicap spaces. Ms. Connolly explained that the petitioner is required to provide at least 439
parking spaces for each individual use, but most of the uses do not require their own parking on a constant basis. For
example, the school is not open on the weekends thereby freeing-up spaces for worshippers. She said that the
sanctuary would be used on the weekends and would require a maximum 317 parking spaces. Since the students who
live in the Student Housing buildings need parking all the time, the 40 spaces for the units cannot be shared, but these
same students artend the university and the services. She said that due to the fact that the school and the church are
interrelated, the maximum number of spaces required during a peak time would be 357 (40 for Student Housing and
317 for the maximum number of worshipers). However, it is likely that 40 speces would be freed from the worshiper
Planning and Zoning Commission ZBA-36-01
Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 3
requirement since the students who live on-campus would also attend the service and be counted as a worshiper.
Therefore, the petitioner meets the intent of the parking requirements listed in the Zoning Ordinance.
Ms. Connolly said that the petitioner's plans show that 70% of the site will be paved at the end of the project and that
amount of lot coverage complies with zoning regulations.
Ms. Connolly said the petitioner did not submit a detailed landscape plan, but their site plan shows where new trees
and bushes will be planted. She said that the subject property is located along one of the Village Commercial
Corridors and ahat requiring the petitioner to install a continuous three-foot hedge around the east, south, and seetioas
of the west property lines is consistent with previous approval for developments and redevelopments along commercial
corridors. In addition, the increased landscaping will help mitigate the impact of the new buildings, parking setbacks
less than ten-feet, and improve the appearance oftbe site. She said that installing additional landscaping such as pine
trees along the east parking area during Phase V and foundation plantings by the Library and Student Center would
screen the view from the adjacent properties.
Ms. Connolly reported that the Engineering Division performed a preliminary review of the proposal. She said that
Development Code requirements that had to be met for the site are detailed in the staff memo, but basically, Phase One
triggers all Development Code requii'ements. Also, the petitioner has to obtain permits from the appropriate
jurisdictions where necessary, loop the water service, and submit all phases of the project for review when they apply
for a building permit.
Ms. Connolly said that the Fire Prevention Bureau performed a preliminary review of the Proposal and required that all
construction meet the Village's Building and Fire Codes. She said that this includes, but is not limited to, paving the
access road along the north lot line and that the access road is not 'gated-in'; that the project includes hydrants as
determined necessary by the Village's'Fire Code and Fi~ Prevention Bureau; and that the buildings have automatic
· sprinkler and fire alarm systems. ~
Ms. Connolly said that although the petitioner's plans do not show modifying access to the site, staff has discussed a
curb-cut off of Rand Road with the petitioner. She said that a 950-seat sanctuary will generate more trips to the
property for services and that the petitioner has agreed to contact IDOT to determine if a curb-cut is possible. Ms.
Connolly said that should IDOT agree to the new Rand Road curb-cut, the petitioner agreed to close the Owen Street
curb-cot, offer Oregory Street. She said that modifying access to the site will reduce the impact of the development
on the adjacent residences.
Ms. Connolly said the impact of the development would be mitigated by the additional landscaping and possible curb-
cut offofRand Road and closing curb-cuts along Gregory Street. Therefore, the development will have limited impact
on the adjacent neighborhoods, utility provision or public streets. She said that the proposed development will provide
30% green space, which is more than the amount required by the Zoning Ordinance, and that the buildings comply
with zoning setbacks. She explained that the petitioner is seeking relief from parking setback requirements for the
parking areas located along Rand Road and Park District property (Gregory Park). Increasing the screening will
. minimize the impact of a lesser setback and improve the appearance of the subject property, which is in the public
interest and would not adversely impact the value or use of any other property. In addition, reducing the parking
setbacks allows the development to provide the maximum amount of parking and create a high quality development.
Ms. Connolly said that based on the above analysis, the Planning & Zoning Commission can make positive findings
with respect to the standards listed in the Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the proposed
changes to the existing PUD with the following conditions:
I. Development of the site in conformance with the site plans prepared by Roberts Construction, dated
December 17, 2001 as revised by staffand labeled Staff Exhibit 'A' (which shows the increased landscaping
and the access off of Rand Road);
2. Submission of a final landscape plan meeting all requirements of Article XXllI, Landscape Code of the
Village of Mount Prospect Zoning Code, and also includes the following:

$. The basement storages remain as, ~torage space and is not used for office space, a meeting room, or any
other use that would require parking as required by the Village Zoning Ordinance.
Arlene Jug, leek asked for confirmation that the setback Variation was being sought just for parking, not a structure.
Ms. Connolly said yes.
Richard Rogers asked about the percentage of landscape area for the parking lot. Ms. Connolly said that the petitioner
would submit a detailed plan at a later date that showed it met the 5% requirement.
Daryl Merrill, pastor of Christian Life Church and chairman of the board of the college, was sworn in. He presented a
history of the church and college, their academic accreditation, student profile, and their building plans. He introduced
Hart~, Schmidt, president of the Christian Life College. Mr. Schmidt was sworn in. He addressed the Planning and
Zoning Commission and said that the Christian Life College had an Open House for area residents on January 17. Mr.
Schmidt said that they sent invitations to 72 addresses and that 14 residents attended the meeting, He summarized the
meeting and the neighbors feedback on the project.
Greg Cashman, architect with Roberts construction, 849 E. Washin~on in Madison, Wisconsin was sworn in and said
that he has been working with the college for two years to develop a master plan. He said that today's presentation
was the culmination'of two years planning that included 12-14 months working with the planning staff. He reviewed
the various site plans and elevations, and explained the phases of development in detail.
Planning and Zoning Commissioners had questions pertaining to the proposed timetable for completion of the five
phases, construction materials, the location of the dumpsters and garbage removal service. In addition, they inquired
about the existing parking lot, proposed landscaping, and basements in the proposed buildings.
Mr. Sehmidt said that Village staffapproved their current landscape plan in 1992. He said that they share the Village's
desire to sot~en the impact of the paved parking area and create less ora "shopping center" look along Rand Road. He
said that they created the large water retention area during an earlier phase of improvement and installed the berming
around it. He said that they receive many favorable comments from the neighbors about the area.
Planning and Zoning Commission ZBA-36-01
Arlene Juracok, Chairperson Page 5
Leo Floros asked if the college was ready to proceed with construction, should the Village Board approve the changes
to the PUD, or did the college need to raise funds to pay for the project. Mr. Schmidt said they have funding available
now for most of the project and that they were comfortable with a five-year implememation timetable. He said they
would like to do Phase I & II concurrently and that they have met with American Charter Bank officials and see no
problem in obtaining financing for this endeavor.
Ken Kitzing, 415 N. Elm St., was sworn in. He said that in 1953 the entire area was farmland, with no flooding problems.
Since the school was built, his property and his neighbom' back yards flood three or four times a year. He said he felt the
proposed plans did not include proper water retenfion. He also objected to the beight ofthe 2-story building. He felt that the
hip roof actually made the building 3-stories and was too high to be just 30' from his l°t line, as he would have no privacy in
his yard. Mr. Kitzing was also concerned with the proposed increase in the number of students in the area and the noise they
would generate. Mr. Floros asked him if be got water in the house. Mr. Kitzing said no because his house is built on a 15'
rise, but that it takes 2-3 days for the water to recede in his yard and he is unable to use portions of the yard during that time.
Ms. Juracok suggested that the arehiteot could address the water problem by chang'mg the location of the buildings. Mr.
Cashman said the water problem originates in Gregory Park and that it rum across the Christian Life property. Ms. Juracek
asked that he work with staff on calculations on water retention to assure neighbors there will be no flooding problems.
Dennis Granahan, 319 N. School St., was sworn in and testified he was concerned with the increased traffic that would occur
through the residential area and that he thought access should be provided from Rand Rd. Ms. Juraeek said that the Rand
Road access is a state issue and would need to be approved by IDOT. After reviewing the staff exhibit that showed creating
an access from Rand Road and dosing aocess from Owen Street, Mr. Granahan said that this would help reduce the amount
of traffic that would spillover into the res~ential neighborhood.
Further disoussion ensued regarding storm water detention, the order of combletion of the building phases, and the
possibility ofreeonfiguring the arrangement and location of the various buildings. Mr. Sehmidt reminded the group
that the water was from Park District property north of the college and said that the college would work with staff for
an appropriate solution. He said that they would consider a "flip-flop" of the buildings and parking by the Student
Housing as suggested by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Ms. Juracok closed the public hearing at 9:58 p.m.
Richard Rogers moved to approve the request as submitted by Case No. ZBA-32-01, a Conditional Use to amend an
existing Planned Unit Development, with the conditions listed in the staff memo and several additional conditions: (1)
add additional landscaping to the existing parking lot at the time Phase I is initiated; (2) Complete all Phases of
construction within five years; (3) identify the garbage/dumpster location, following screening requirements listed in
the Code; (4) follow Engineering Department requirements for water detention to retain the water runoff originating
from the Park District property so the water does not pass to the neighbors; (5) Locate the residences and parking
further from the Elm Street properties. Matthew Sledz seconded the motion.

BACKGROUND
The subject property was originally the Northsite School. It was built in 1962 and later sold to the Christian Life
Church. A Church is a permitted use in the R1 Single Family Zoning District but special approval was required
when the church wanted to expand and include a college in 1992. The Planned Unit Development provided for a
larger church, a college, and a library that would be built at a later date. The PUD approval provided for land
banking some of the needed parking stalls and required that the parking be built when the demand warranted it.
Those spaces have not been constructed.
ZBA-36-01
Planning & Zoning Meeting January 24, 2002
Page 2
In 1993, the PUD was amended at the petitioner's request to allow for a new 750-seat sanctuary and conversion of
the 532-seat chapel into a multi-purpose mom when the sanctuary was complete. As part of that PUD approval,
the petitioner was allowed to do the improvements in phases. The chapel addition was completed in 1994.
2002 PUD AMENDMENT REQUEST
The current request to amend the PUD includes constructing student housing, a Library, an Administrative
Student Center, a 950-seat Sanctuary, and converting the existing chapel to a multi-purpose room upon
completion of the Sanctuary. If future funding allows for it, the petitioner's plans build an archive area in the
basement of the Library and Administrative Student Center.
The petitioner proposes to make the improvements in phases and the implementation of each phase is subject to
funding availability, but is based on a five-year plan.
Student Housing (Phases I & III)
The Student Housing buildings will be done in two phases. The first phase of the project involves constructing
one Student Housing building 30-feet from the west (rear) property line. Phase III involves constructing the
second Student Housing building 30-feet east oftbe first building. Both buildings would be located 25-feet from
the north (side) lot line.
The attached floor plan shows that each two-story building is comprised of (8) three-bedroom units. Each 3-
bedroom unit has a living room, kitchen, and two bathrooms. Each bedroom is intended to house two students,
unless the students are married. If the students were married, they would occupy the entire unit (all three
bedrooms) and consequently deerea~e the density of the building. The number of occupants of both buildings
could range from as low as 16 to as high as 96.
The two -story Student Housing Buildings would have a peaked roof, asphalt shingles, and be constructed of a
combination of siding and brick veneer. The petitioner's plans include foundation landscaping around both
buildings.
Library/Administrative Student Center (Phase IB
Phase H of the project is the Library and Administrative Student Center. This would be two-stories tall: the main
floor would,be used for a Student Center (2,400 square feet) and Administrative Offices (1,800 square feet). The
second story includes a Conference Center (1,300 square feet) and a Library 0,200 square feet).
The attached elevations show that the building would be connected to the existing Classroom Building. It would
have a flat roof, brick veneer, and an aluminum curtain wall. The petitioner's plans show the possibility of
excavating and creating an archive (storage) area at a later date.
Library/Archive Expansion (Phase IV)
Phase IV of the project is a one-story, 5,000 square foot expansion of the Student Center and Administrative
Offices. The attached elevations show that the proposed one-story addition would be designed so it is in keeping
with the existing buildings. In addition, the petitioner intends to excavate, possibly at a later date, and create
additional archive (storage) space in the basement. Creating archive storage is contingent upon the cost of
excavation and may not be done. The proposed one-story building would become the library and the Phase II
building would no longer house the library and be used as office space and a Student Center.
950-Seat Sanctuary (Phase V)
Currently the Christian Life College Chumh has 400 members. The proposed Sanctuary could seat up to 950
people. It would be used primarily for Sunday services and limited special events during the week. The existing
ZBA-36-01
Planning & Zoning Meeting January 24, 2002
Page 3
Chapel would be converted to a multi-purpose room once the 950-seat Sanctuary was built. The Sanctuary and
additional parking would be built in the final phase oftbe project.
Review and Approval Process
The subject site is zoned R1 PUD (Single Family Residence Planned Unit Development)~ The petitioner is
seeking to amend an existing Planned Unit Development to construct Student Housing, thc Library,
Administrative Offices, and the Sanctuary. As part of the approval process, the petitioner is seeking Conditional
Use approval for the uses and Changes to the Planned unit D~el0Pment (se~ 14.903.A) in addition to relief from
setback regulations (Sec. 14~905.B.2)~
To conduct its analysis of the request, staff reviewed the petitioner's plat of survey, site plan, and elevations, met
with the applicant to discuss the development, and visited the site.
Analysis
Comprehensive Plan Designation
The Village's General Land Use Map designates the property as 'Industrial/Office'. Although the proposed
expansion contains elements of the Land Use Map designation, i.e., administrative offices, it is an institutional use
and is not entirely consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. At one time, it may have been thought that the
Kensington Business Center or a similar type development would expand across Rand Road on the subject
property. Staff is in the process of updating the General Land Use Map and the Planning and Zoning Commission
will be asked to revisit this property regarding whether the Industrial/Office designation is still appropriate for this
site.
Existing Conditions ~
The subj~t proper'q~ is 7.12 a~ros and has a chapel, classrooms, and a parking lot. There is significant grin
space along the Rand Road frontage and the west property line. The site is accessed from one of three curb-cuts
off of Gregory Street.

North (Side) Lot line: the Student Housing buildings would be 25-feet from the north (side) lot line; this setback
complies with zoning regulations. The new parking shown in Phase V would be nine-feet from the lot line; Sec.
14.2217.B of the Zoning Ordinance requires a ten-foot setback. The petitioner is seeking relief from zoning
regulations to permit a nine-foot setback for the new parking stalls and access drive connecting the 'east' parking
lot to the 'west' parking Int by the Student Housing buildings.
East (FronO Lot Line: Phase V shows a Sanctuary and an expanded parking lot. The sanctuary meets setback
requirements, but sections of the new parking lot would be as close as 7.5-feet to the northern Rand Road right-of-
way and as much as 150-feet from the southern Rand Road right-of-way. The petitioner is seeking relief from
zoning regulations to permit a 7.5-foot parking setback as shown on the attached site plan.
South (Exterior) Lot line: The at'inched plan shows new parking located 26~feet from the south lot line. The
Library/Administrative Student Center building would be 105-feet from the south lot line. Both setbacks exceed
the minimum setback requirement.

West (Rear) Lot line: The western most Student Housing building would be located 30-feet from the rear lot line
and the Library/Administrative Center would be 60-feet from the west lot line. These setbacks comply with
zoning requirements.
Parking
The Zoning Ordinance lists the following parking requirements:
Use Zoning Code Requirement Required for Project
Student Housing 2.5 spaces per dwelling unit 16 units total - 40 required
Offices 4 spaces per 1,000 square feet 5,500* - 22 spaces required
Religious I space per 3 worshippers 400 worshipers now - 950 future--
Institutions 134 required now - 317 future
Library 2 spaces per 1,000 square feet 8,200* - 17 spaces required
College University 1 space per 2 employees plus I space per 4 students 7 fit employees,
based on maximum capacity 3 commuting teachers, and
54 students (150 max) - requires 5
spaces for employees, and 38
student spaces for future expansion.
*does not include >ossible storage in basement
The petitioner's plan shows that the parking spaces will be installed consistent with implementation of each phase
of development. At the completion of the project, 353 parking spaces will be installed, which includes two
handicap spaces. Adding up the number of spaces required as listed above, the petitioner is required to provide at
least 439 parking spaces.
Due to the.nature of the development, most of the uses do not overlap and do not require their own parking on a
consistent basis. For example, the school is not open on the weekends thereby "opening up" 43 parking spaces.
The sanctuary would be used on the weekends and would require a maximum 317 parking spaces. Since the
students who live in the Student Housing buildings need parking all the time, the 40 spaces for the units cannot be
shared, but these same students attend the university and the services. Also, the Zoning Ordinance docs not
require additional parking for the basement archive storage space. Therefore, they do not require additional
parking.
Because the school and the church are interrehted, the maximum number of spaces required during a peak time
would be 357 (40 for Student Housing and 317 for the maximum number of worshipers). However, it is likely
that 40 spaces would be freed from the worshiper requirement since the students who live on-campus would also
attend the service and be counted as a worshiper. Therefore, the petitioner meets the intent of the parking
requirements listed in the Zoning Ordinance.
Lot Coverage
The petitioner's plans show that 70% of the site will be paved at the end of the project and the Zoning Ordinance
permits up to 75% lot coverage (Sec. 14.905.C.2). The lot proposed lot coverage meets zoning regulations.
Landscaping
The petitioner did not submit a detailed landscape plan as required by the Zoning Ordinance, but their site plan
shows where new trees and bushes will be planted. The subject property is located along one of the Village
Commercial Corridors. Consistent with previous projects along a commercial corridor, installing a continuous
three-foot hedge around the east, south, and sections of the west property lines will mitigate the impact of the new
buildings, parking setbacks less than ten-feet, and improve the appearance of the site. In addition, installing pine
trees along the east parking area (Phase V) and foundation plantings by the Library (Phase IV) and Student Center
will screen the view from the adjacent properties.

Review by Other Village Depa,~ents
The Engineering Division has performed a preliminary
Development Code requirements to be met for the site:
review of the proposal and identified the following
1. Alt Development Code requirements will be ttiggered by the construction of Phase I;
2. The proposed improvements will require a permit from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of
Greater Chicago (MWPd)) and IDOT if there is any work in the Rand Road fight-of-way;
3. Currently there is no water service to the notch side of the site and "dead end" water mains and services
are not permitted. Therefore, the water supply will have to be loOPed around the site in order to serve the
new student housing units and the required fire hydrants;
4. All phases of the development should be designed and submitted for review and approval with the Phase I
improvements to ensure compatibility between the phases.
The Fire Prevention Bureau has performed a preliminary review of the proposal and identified the following
issues:
I. The access road is to be constructed in accordance with Development Code requirements (paved) and
without gates;
2. Provide hydrants on-site as determined necessary by the Village's Fire Code and Fire Prevention
Bureau;
3. Buildings are to be provided with an automatic sprinkler and fire alarm systemS;
4. All construction must meet the Village's Building and Fire Codes.
REQUIRED FINDINGS ~
Conditional Use Standards
The standards for conditional uses are listed in Section 14.203.F.7 of the Village Zoning Ordinance. The section
contains seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a conditional use. These standards relate
to:
The conditional use will not have a detrimental effect on the public health, safety, morals, comfort
or general welfare;
· The conditional use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value other properties in the
vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties;
· Adequate provision of utilities and drainage and design of access and egress to minimize
congestion on Village streets; and
· Compliance of the conditional use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code,
and other Village Ordinances.
The Conditional Use request is required because the petitioner is amending a previously approved Planned Unit
Development to expand the college and religious facilities. The proposed student housing buildings, expansion of
the college building, and the proposed sanctuary comply with zoning regulations. In addition, the petitioner has
met with engineering staff to ensure that drainage issues will not be created as a result of the project. Also,
planting additional landscaping along the perimeter of the property will screen the parking areas and minimize the
impact of the 7.5-foot setback.
Although the petitioner's plans do not show modifying access to the site, staff has discussed a curb-cut off of
Rand Road with the petitioner. A 950-seat sanctuary will generate more trips to the property for services and the
petitioner has agreed to contact IDOT to determine ifa curb-cut is possible. Should IDOT agree to the new Rand
Road curb-Cut, the petitioner agreed to close the Owen Street curb-cut, off of Grego~ Street. Modifying access to
the site will reduce the impact of the development on the adjacent residences.
ZBA-36~01
Planning & Zoning Meeting January 24, 2002
Page 6
The impact of the development will be mitigated by-the additional landscaping and possible curb-cut off of Rand
Road and closing curb-cuts along Gregory Street. Therefore, the development will have limited impact on the
adjacent neighborhoods, utility provision or public streets.
Standards for Planned Unit Development with Other Exceptions (Sec. 14.504.C)
Required findings for planned unit developments that do not comply with the requirements of the underlying
district regulations are allowed when the Board finds such exceptions are consistent with the following standards:
1. Any reduction in the requirements of this chapter is in the public interest;
2. The proposed exceptions would not adversely impant the value or use of any other property;
3. That such exceptions are solely for the purpose of promoting better development which will be beneficial
to the residents or occupants of the planned unit development as well as those of the surrounding
properties;
4. That all buildings are located within the planned unit development in such a way as to dissipate any
adverse impact on adjoining buildings and shall not invade the privacy of the occupants of such buildings
and shall conform to the following:
a. The front, side or rear yard setbacks on the perimeter of the development shall not be less than
that required in the abutting zoning district(s) or the zoning district underlying the subject site,
whichever is greater;
b. All transitional yards and transitional landscape yards of the underlying zoning district are
complied with;
c. If required transitional yards and transitional landscape yards are not adequate to protect the
privacy and enjoyment of property adjacent to the development, the planning and zoning
commission shall recommend either or both of the following requirements:
i. All structures located on the perimeter of the planned unit development must set back by a
distance sufficient to protect the privacy and amenity of adjacent existing uses;
ii. All structures located along the entire perimeter of the planned unit development must be
pe, manenfly screened with sight proof screening in a manner which is sufficient to protect
the privacy and amenity of adjacent existing uses;
d. That the area of open space provided in a planned unit development shall be at least that required
in the underlying zoning district.
The proposed development will provide 30% green space, which is more than the amount required by the
Zoning Ordinance, and the buildings comply with zoning setbacks. The petitioner is seeking relief from
parking setback requirements for the parking areas located along Rand Road and Park District property
(Gregory Park). Increasing the screening will minimize the impact of a lesser setback and improve the
appearance oftbe subject property, which is in the public interest and would not adversely impact the value or
use of any other property. Reducing the parking setbacks allows the development to provide the maximum
amount of parking and create a high quality development.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above analysis, the Planning & Zoning Conunission can make positive findings with respect to the
standards for Conditional Uses in Section 14.203.F.8. and Planned Unit Developments in 14.504.C. Therefore,
Staff recommends approval of the proposed changes to the existing PUD with the following conditions:
1. Development of the site in conformance with the site plans prepared by Roberts Construction, dated
December 17, 2001;
2. Submission of a final landscape plan meeting all requirements of Article XXIII Landscape Code of the
Village of Mount Prospect Zoning Code and also includes the following:

Property Description:
Location and Size:
The property is located at the northwest intersection of Gregory Street and Rand
Road (Route 12), commonly known as 400 East Gregory Street. The property
consists of 7.13 acres.
Zoning and Land Use:
The property is currently zoned "R-l" Single Family and is improved with a 33,000
square foot brick building occupied by Christian Life Church and College.
Surrounding Zoning and Land Use:
North: "R-I" Single Family; Mount Prospect Park District property - Vacant
East: "R-l" Single Family; residences
South: "R-I" Single Family; residences
West: "R-l" Single Family; residences
Lot Coverage:
Current: 30%
Proposed: 47.75%
REOUEST
The petitioners are requesting a Planned Unit Development to allow the addition of a
Sanctuary Auditorium and a future library to the existing Christian Life Church and College.
Included in the addition is a lobby, restrooms, book and prayer rooms, offices, chapel with
a seating capadty of 200, and a kitchen to support the church and ministry.
pLANNING AND ZONING COMMENTS AND CONCERNS
The petitioners are seeking approval of a Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.) for the
property located west of Rand Road and north of Gregory Street. Specifically, the P.U.D.
requests a two-story addition of 19,500 square feet and a future two-story library of 10,000
square feet with accessory parking to accommodate the additions.
P.U.D. Review:
The site is currently improved with a 33,000 square foot brick structure which houses
Christian Life Church and College. The Zoning Ordinance allows a church in an
"R-l" zoned area, however, it does not specifically allow a college. Therefore, the
request includes the listing of a college as part of the P.U.D.
Site Layout:
The petitioners have met the setback requirements for the building and parking lot.
Where the property directly abuts single family residences, the petitioners have
maintained a 1t0 foot setback from the property line for the future library and 100
feet for the nearest parking area.
Gil Basnik, Chairman
Mount Prospect Zoning Board of ApPeals
Page 3
There are three access drives off of Gregory which are in excess of 200 feet apart.
The driveways serve 311 parking spaces with 18 parking spaces landbanked and 20
future spaces to be constructed with the future library. The Zoning Ordinance
requires 332 spaces based upon the number of seats in the auditorium, the existing
building as well as the future library. The P.U.D. Ordinance requires 10% additional
parking spaces than normally required. This requirement brings the total needed
to 365. This is 19 spaces more than the plan currently provides. Staff would
recommend that these additional parking spaces be waived due to the nature of this
use. The additional spaces requested in the P.U.D. Ordinance are targeted to a
mixed use facility which would have a variety of uses. Staff feels that the
preservation of open space is more important in this case. Staff would also
recommend that the landbanked parking and future library parking be constructed
only as demand warrants. Staff would encourage the open space be left as grass or
landscaping until the Planning Director deems construction necessary.
Lot Coverage:
The "R-l" Single Family District allows a maximum of 45% lot coverage. The site
plan as submitted indicates a total lot Coverage of 47.75% which is 2.75% greater
than the ordinance allows. Staff does not object to this because the future parking
and landbanked parking will not be constructed until demand warrants, therefore,
the total lot coveragg~will be below the required 45%.
Landscane Plan:
The following comments are provided to the petitioners so that the proposed
landscaping can be brought in compliance with the minimum requirements of the
Ordinance:
Additional landscaping shall be added to the interior of the parking lot s6 that
a minimum of 5% can be obtained. There is currently approximately 3.5%
landscaping provided.
A continuous 3 ft. hedge of landscaping shall be added along East Gregory
Street as well as along Rand Road.
3. Additional landscaping along the west property line to include:
a. Shade trees shall be provided at the equivalent of 75 ft. apart along the
property line.
b. Other landscaping materials, including berms, trees, evergreen, shrubbery,
hedges, and/or other live planting materials.
Architecture:
The petitioners have included floor plans and elevations for review. The proposed
addition will match the existing structure in style and material.Staff would
recommend that the future library also match the existing structure.

OTHER DEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS
Engineering:
Are three entrances necessary? The center one may have conflict with turning
maneuvers from Owen Street. How will access be made to the lot to the
north?
The size of the existing sanitary service must be verified and proven adequate
for the building addition.
Will storm sewer need to be extended for future parking? Grade declines to
west; will storm sewer be deep enough? Release from storm system must take
into account unrestricted release from north and west.
Is detention adequate for future lots? Sump is necessary on release pipe since
connection is to combined sewer. Drainage swale shall be constructed now
est lot line.
Detention basin must meet State requirement (6:1) on distance from Rand
Road to high water level side slopes on detention pond.
Building to be sprinkled.
lnsnection Services:
Check with I.D.O.T. on excavation limits adjacent to State roadways. Location
of detention basin may be affected.
There are existing sanitary manholes in center of Gregory at School and Owen
Streets.
If existing sewer on Gregory is a combined sewer~ discharge from detention
basin will require a trap.
Additional detention may be required for new impervious areas on west
portion of property.
There is an existing 8" watermain on the south side of Gregory and North
side of Gregory west of School Street.
Check with Fire Prevention Bureau if additional hydrants may be required
around the building.
Public Works:
The landscaping plan should show the correct location of all existing parkway
trees on Gregory and on Rand Road; currently, only some of these trees axe
shown.
Gil Basnik, Chairman
Mount Prospect Zoning Board of Appeals
Page 5
Construction equipment must be kept out of the root zone of all existing
parkway trees.
Developer should pay fees for the planting of three new parkway trees.
SUMMARY/RECOMMENDATION
The petitioners are seeking approval of a Planned Unit Development which would allow the
existing Christian Life Church and College as well as allow two additions to the existing
structure. Included within the P.U.D. are the following variations:
A reduction in the required 10% additional parking required in the P.U.D.
Ordinance' from 365 parking spaces to the proposed 332 parking spaces.
A variation to allow approximately 47.75% lot coverage instead of the 45%
maximum in an "R-I" Single Family District.
Staff would recommend approval of the Planned Unit Development as requested by
Christian Life Church and School with the following conditions:
The landbank~l parking and future parking shall only be built upon the
approval of the Planning Director.
The landscape plan shall be redesigned and submitted to the Planning
Department for approval. At a minimum, the items listed on Page 3 of this
staff report must be complied with.
All outstanding issues and concerns of Engineering, Inspection Services. and
Public Works shall be addressed and resolved prior to the issuance of a
building permit.

Vice Chairman Cassidy introduced the next agenda item being a request for a Special Use
Permit for a Planned Unit Development to allow an addition and future library for Christian
Life Church and College.
Rev. Daryl Merrill introduced himself and gave a history of Christian Life Church and
College. Rev. Merrill concluded the history by indicating that approximately 8 a~res of their
property had been sold off to the Mount Prospect Park District. He then introduced Rev.
Harry Schmidt who gave an overview of the process used to determine the size of the
additions and needs of the congregation and students. Rev. Schmldt indicated that they
were very sensitive to the residential neighbors in their planning of the additions. He stated
that the church held a neighborhood meeting on Monday, July 20, 1992 to discuss their
proposal.
Rev. Schmidt then introduced the Project Architect, Richard Keller, who gave an overview
of the specific project. He indicated that they designed additions which were low profile
and fit in with the residential area, while matching the existing structure in detail .and
materials.

Ray Forsythe, Planner, then summarized the staff report indicating that the P.U.D. request
included allowing a college in the "R-I" Single Family District as it is not specifically listed
as a permitted use. Mr. Forsythe then disCUSsed the variations which are requested for the
P.U.D. They are:
1. A variation to allow a reduction in the required parking spaces from 365 to 332.
A variation to allow approximately 47.75% lot coverage instead of the maximum
45% allowed.
Mr. F~rsythe indicated that the proposed building setbacks met all requirements and that
Staff felt the variations requested were minimal and would have no impact to the
surrounding areas.
Mr. John Korn, 301 William, ooke in support of the project. He posed a q/aestion
regarding construction traffic for the project. He suggested that a temporary access off of
Rand Road be approved in order to keep the large tracks off of the residential streets. Mr.
Clements indicated that staff would also support this request.
Mr. George Pepe, 318 North Owen, questioned whether the driveways could be designed
so that they lineup with thO~streets in which they abut. Rev. Schmidt indicated that they
would work with staff so that the issues could be resolved.
Mr. Saviano questioned whether any objections were raised at the neighborhood meeting.
Rev. Merrill indicated that no outstanding objections or concerns were raised at the
meeting.
Mr. Cassidy questioned the mount of traffic generated on a typical Sunday. Rev. Merrill
indicated approximately 500. Mr. Cas~idy asked a neighbor to discuss this question. Mr.

..REOUEST
The petitioners are seeking an amendment to Planned Unit Development (PUD) Ordinance
#4465 as approved on September 1, 1992 in order to allow a two-phase development of the
Church development plan. The first phase would provide for chapel seating of 532 rather
than 200 as indicated on the approved Planned Unit Development.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMENTS AND CONCERNS
Summary of application: The petitioners have indicated that the proposed construction will
have very little impact on the residences in the neighborhood because the new construction
will be on the northeast side of their property facing Rand Road. Most-of the existing
parking will be used with a small portion added at the north of the current parking lot. All
setbacks have been met on the proposed plan.
Background:
The 1992 PUD for the college included a small prayer or wedding chapel on the north side
of the building, and the main sanctuary of 750 seats. Preliminary construction bids for the
project came in higher than expected, and at this time the petitioner is proposing to expand
the size of the prayer chapel to 532 seats, as Phase I. This area will be used for church
services. When demand re4ches a point so as to re.quire the larger chapel, the Phase II
building will be constructed to meet this need.
Impact on Surrounding Properties: The petitioners have requested to amend the approved
PUD for Christian Life Church and College to allow an expansion to the north. The R~
1 District allows a total lot coverage of 45% with a 10% bonus allowed in the PUD for a
total allowed lot coverage of 49.5%. The proposed lot coverage of 58% will only be
obtained if all parking, including the land banked parking is installed. Without the .land-
banked parking, the total lot coverage is $1% which is not excessive and storm water can
be controlled in the design of the parking areas.
OTHER DEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS
There are several comments regarding the engineering and fire protection of the building
which will have been forwarded to the petitioners. All applicable Village Codes will be
followed during the planning and construction of this project.
SUMMARY/RECOMMENDATION
In summary, the petitioners are requesting an amendment to the recently approved PUD
to allow a larger chapel to be built as Phase I of the project. The petitioners have added
additional parking as required to meet the current Zoning Ordinance. All required setbacks
have been met and the land-banked parking will only be constructed if deemed necessary
by the Planning Director, as previously approved.

REQUEST:
The petitioners are seeking an amendment to

as approved on September 1, 1992 in order to
allow a two-phase development of the Church
development plan. The first phase would provide
for chapel seating of 532 rather than 200 as

Chairman Basnik then introduced the next case being ZBA-35-SU-93 by Christian Life Church
and College requesting an amendment to Planned Unit DeVelopment Ordinanc6 #4465 in
order to allow a two phase development of the Church.
Rev. Harry Schmidt and Pastor Daryl Merrill of Christian Life Church introduced themselves
to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr. Merrill indicated that the church had received a Planned
Unit Development (PUD) approval last year for their larger sanctuary and expansion-p}ax~,
but that the construction bids came in high for this proposed addition. He stated that, at
this time, the church would now tike to construct their masterplan in a two phase project.
Mr. Merrill noted that the original PUD had a small 200 seat chapel on the north side of
the building. At this time they would like to expand the seating of that chapel to 532 seats
and construct the large? 750 seat sanctuary on the east side of the building at some. point
in the future when their congregation grows to a size to support the increased seating.
ZBA-35-SU-93
Page 2
Ray Forsythe then summarized the Stuff report for the Zoning Board of Appeals. He noted
that .the. church received a PUD approval on September 1, 1992 for the large church
masterplan that included a 750 seat sanctuary, and now the church would like to do a two
phase development. Mr. Forsythe noted that the proposed construction will have very little
· impact on the neighborhood as residences are far west of'the church property, and most of
the construction and parking 10t improvements will be facing Rand Road. He stated that
all ~etbacks had been met on the proposed plan. Mr. Forsythe confirmed that the small prayer
wedding chapel on the oylginai PUD had been for approximately 200 seats, and the church
would like to expand this area now to 532 seats as a Phase I. The Phase H development
of the church would be the larger sanctuary as noted on the ori~nal PUD. Mr. Forsythe
noted that, as with the original PUD, an are. a of land banking'for parking is provided in order
to allow an option for the maximum number of parking spaces to be built, if the demand
were justified with the Phase II church construction.
Chairman Basnik asked for comments from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr. Larmon
pointed out that the Phase I seating is proposed to be 532 and the Phase H seating would
be 750, and that the total of these two exceed the seating that was approved in the original
PUD. Mr. ! annon asked what would happen to the Phase I area after co~truction of the
larger sanctuary. Mr. Merrill stated that this area would be converted to'a fellowship hall
or a multi-purpose room and that both sanctuaries wOUld not be used at the same time.
Chairman Basnik asked hownuany members the church currently has, and Mr. Merrill stated
that they approximately have 450 to 500 members and they meet in two services. Mr. Merrill
stated that the growth of the church is limited by the seating capacity of the existing facility.
Mr. Floros asked about the Christian Life College and how many students were presently
enrolled. Mr. Merrill stated that there are 75 full-time students currently in the college.
Mr. Cassidy asked for the location of the Park District property and Mr. Merrill Stated that
this property is 7 acres just north of the church and college site.
Mr. Lannon asked Mr. Clements if the Phase II development as shown in the PUD would
require.further approval by the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr. Clements stated that if'the
Phase H is approved on this PUD request~ then there would be no additional public hearing
necessary. Mr. Clements also stated that it was his belief that the fixed s~ating in the Phase
I chapel would be removed and that this should help solve the concerns about the combined
seating of both phases. Mr. Merrill stated that the seating would be removed from the Phase
I chapel if the larger sanctuary is ever constructed.
· No one appeared to speak in favor or opposition to the request.
The Zoning Board of Appeals generally discussed the PUD amendment, and it was noted
that the two phase approach allows the church to have some flexibility in their construction
plans to address the size and growth of the congregation, and the ultimate needs of the church
and college.
ZBA-35-SU-93
