New Business - Application for a parking variance at 4431 Prairie.
Staff report presented by Interim Planner Mark Janeck. He noted that there was a
change to the staff report from showing that the building was a 4 unit building to a 3 unit
legal non-conforming. Because it Is a 3 unit legal non-conforming, the parking
calculation changes. There are five parking spots for 3 units. It is currently used as a
multi-family property. It is considered legal non-conforming. The property was
purchased in December 2023 and is used as a multi-family. Mark noted that staff has
not noted any particular issues with parking in that area. The petitioner has requested
a parking variance to 5 parking spots for 3 uni
Commissioner Weber commented that if the building was a 4 unit, it would need to be
changed back. Commissioner Grund asked for a motion to open the hearing.
Commissioner Evans seconded the motion. Approved 7-0. Commissioner Grund then
swore in Mrs.Triana Calderon, the petitioner. She provided her address and noted that
the driveway to the multi unit is a shared driveway. Interim Planner Janeck noted that
allowable uses under the current zoning code includes residential uses, including single
family and townhouses. He then reviewed the slides showing the property and the
proposed parking. He pointed out that the survey shows a shared driveway with
parking in the rear of the building. He further provided a summary of the variance
standards and discussed the Village of Brookfield’s historical land use precedent in that
area. He next reviewed the variance standards relative to the specific variance request
by the petitioner and the petitioner’s response to the ordinance.
Petitioner noted that she and her husband purchased the home for herself and her
husband and to move her mother-in-law into one of the units. They bought the property
believing that the building had 5 spots that were approved and did not realize that the
Page 2 of 34
code required 6 spots. They planed to get a new roof, electrical and to build a new
garage and did not think parking would be a problem when applying for the permit. She
spoke to Kate, the previous planner, who brought it to her attention that since the
building was built, the code changed to require 1.25 parking spots. She noted that they
do not plan on renting to others and that they have 3 vehicles that will be parked at the
unit. She further noted that she was not trying to park on the main street but rather they
wanted to build a garage to house the vehicles.
Commissioner Svoboda asked if there were any formal driveway easements in place.
Mrs Calderone responded that they were not. She stated that she spoke to other
property owners and they were ok with the proposed garage. She further noted that
they intended to repave the concrete on the driveway. Commissioner Evans confirmed
whether Mrs Calderone was planning to repave portions on the shared driveway and
Mrs. Calderone replied that she had planned to do that as part of the work.
Commissioner Svoboda asked if there were any current leases for the units. Mrs
Calderone noted that she has a lease agreement but is not planning on renting out the
units. Her mother-in-law lives on the ground floor and is elderly. Commissioner
Svoboda asked whether the lease agreement acknowledges the parking and Mrs.
Calderon responded that she was not sure. She noted that if any tenants wanted to park
in the designated units, she would not stop them. Commissioner Straka asked if they
planned on using the garage for storage. Mrs. Calderone replied that they would store
lawn mower and battery operated items that could not be left outside. Otherwise, they
planned on parking their cars in the garage. Commissioner Grund asked if there were
any other questions of the petitioner.
Further discussion ensued between the commissioners. Commissioner Grund noted
that with the stationary district, transit is nearby. He noted that making 2 parking spaces
is too much and too much of a burden. He noted that he was in favor of the parking
variance. Commissioner Miller asked whether the character in the area was similar to
the request from the petitioner. Trustee Hendricks asked how far the unit was from the
stationary district and Commissioner Weber noted that it was 2-3 blocks. Commissioner
Evans asked whether storm water management was discussed, and Interim Planner
Janeck noted that it was on grass. Commissioner Evans noted that Brookfield has an
onerous storm water management system. Petitioner Calderone noted that she
reviewed all of that with Kate, the previous planner, and with the inspector.
Commissioner Webber noted that the downspouts would release water into the spaces.
Interim Planner Janeck stated that the owners would repave the driveway and it would
divert water to the street. Commissioner Webber confirmed with the petitioner on
whether she was agreeable to the recommendation to repave the driveway and she
responded that she was.

Commissioner Evans noted that he would include the conditions in the approval and
made a motion to approve with the recommended conditions. Commissioners Straka
noted he would approve a motion to approve the parking variance with conditions.
Commissioner Evans made the motion and it was seconded by Commissioner Miller.
The motion was passed 7-0 approving it. Commissioner Grund noted that the PZC is
an advisory body and the Board of Trustees has the final say. Community Development
Director noted that there was no other business to discuss at the meeting.
Meeting was adjourned at 7:25 pm.

Committee Item Memo
Meeting Date: January 23, 2025
Staff Contact: Scott Viger, Planner
Department: Planning and Zoning Commission
Subject: Case No. 25-01 Request for Sign Variations from Section 42.86
Permanent Sign Regulations in order to allow a third wall sign on the
property that exceeds the maximum height and sign area and an awning
sign that is mounted below the minimum clearance, exceeds the 30%
coverage and two lines of text maximums for property located at 9000
Ogden Avenue.
Background Information:
Castle Motors has been at 9000 Ogden Avenue since 2020. They offer auto repair and sales
of cars, trucks and trailers. In 2024 Castle Motors applied for an awning sign permit that was
not issued. Later it was discovered that the awning sign as well as a wall sign were erected
without a permit. Staff notified the applicant to apply for the wall sign permit and it was
discovered that the erected sign was not Code compliant. This triggered the Variance
application.
Existing Conditions & Site Context
The subject site is 21,038+ square feet and is improved with a one-story commercial building
with parking lots on both the east and west side of the building. The adjacent zoning and land
uses to the East, West and South are C1 General Service District. To the north across the
alley is A1 Single Family.
Subject property 2023 Streetview Image
Analysis
The Sign Regulations limit each property to two permanent signs. There are two permanent wall signs
on the eastern (Sunnyside Avenue) façade of the building. The first requested variance request is to
Page 5 of 34
surpass the maximum number of signs to allow four rather than two with an awning sign on the western
faced and a wall sign upon the south facade. As noted above, the two signs in question, the Awning sign
on the western façade and large wall sign on the south (Ogden Avenue) façade were both erected
without a permit. The staff has a record of an application being sought for the awning sign that was not
approved. No permit was sought for the wall sign. Awning signs are limited to 30% of the awning size.
The requested awning far exceeds that maximum allowable coverage. Additionally, the awning is to
have seven-foot clearance from the ground level. Staff has measured the awning clearance at 7’-4” and
an overall height of 11’-2”.
Two existing wall signs on the Eastern (Sunnyside Avenue) facade.
The wall sign is limited to 100 square feet while the requested variance is to allow 122.46
square feet. The maximum vertical dimension of a wall sign is 4’ while the requested sign
exceeds that maximum and has a height of 5’. The sign also exceeds the overall maximum
height of 15’ extending upwards to 16’8”.
Non permitted Awning Sign Non permitted Wall Sign
Applicant’s Request
1. Variance for the number of signs on a property from two to four.
2. Variance for the size of a wall sign from 100 square feet to 122.46 square feet.

In accordance with Section 42-206 Standards for Variance, the following findings shall be met
and proven by the applicant before any positive consideration is to be made in granting of a
variation:
New signs. With respect to the erection of new signs, a variation from the regulations set forth
in this chapter shall not be granted unless evidence is presented that:
(1) The proposed variation will not be materially detrimental to other nearby property;
(2) Notwithstanding the benefits, the property in question will suffer some demonstrable and
irreversible hardship if made to conform to the strict letter of this chapter;
(3) The alleged hardship has not been created by anyone presently having a proprietary
interest in the property; and

Committee Item Memo
Meeting Date: January 23, 2025
Staff Contact: Scott Viger, Planner
Department: Community Development
Subject: Case No. 25-02 Request for a Text Amendment to Chapter 62- Zoning
Section 217 Station Area Districts General Design
Background Information:
It has come to the attention of staff that the particular exterior material choices for new and
renovated buildings within the station district areas need to be increased in number. The
current Code references specific materials and details in what situations the materials can be
used. This reference reflects the vision of the Village, however, there are alternate materials
and situations that staff believe require Board consideration for change.
The proposed amendments would permit finished fiber cement concrete panels and planks to
be used on building facades and remove the requirement for installation of a ‘rainscreen’ in
certain instances. Fiber cement concrete is common now on buildings in the Chicago area and
nation-wide as an alternative to vinyl, aluminum, and wood panels and siding due to its
longevity, ease of manufacture, and texture choice relative to those materials. When fiber
cement concrete was first marketed as a building product, there were very few surface texture
choices and the fiber cement concrete would lose its color quickly.
Over the past 30 years, fiber cement concrete products have quickly retained a reputation as a
high quality and long lasting exterior building material, with a huge variety of exterior detail
choices. Architectural concrete panels as well are recognized as high quality, easy to install,
and able to be manufactured to reflect extremely attractive building façades. The current Code
language does not permit this material in numerous instances in the station districts. According
to staff research and current industry standards staff believes this material should be allowed
to be used in order to give architects a larger pallet of exterior building materials.
There is additionally a rainscreen requirement in the zoning code in instances where the major
material choice of wood or composite wood products are used in the station districts. A
rainscreen is an alternate method of reducing moisture build-up and denying moisture to enter
into a chosen building wall assembly. This rainscreen requirement has been determined as
superfluous to the Village’s building code requirements, specifically provided by the
International Building Code (IBC). The building code does not require a rainscreen to be
installed as part of any residential or commercial wall assembly, and there has been no
suggestion from our building consultant, B&F Consulting, to amend the Village’s version of the
IBC for this purpose. While the installation of a rainscreen does improve the moisture reduction
abilities of wall construction, the added time and cost of the installation does not appear
warranted and can act as a deterrence to new development in the Village.
Proposed Text:
Page 20 of 34
Staff is recommending the following text amendments to Section 62.217.
Section 62.217 of the Code describes exterior materials able to be used in ‘major’ and ‘limited’
situations. It states, in relevant part,
Sec. 62-217. - General design. (a)Materials. The following establishes general materials
requirements applicable to all building types. 1.Intent. The intent of the following requirements
is to require well-tested, high quality, durable materials intended for the majority of finished
surfaces, while permitting a wider range of materials for details. 2.Major materials. A minimum
of 80 percent of each street facade, not including window and door areas, shall be constructed
of Major Materials.
a. Simplicity of surface materials. A minimum of 70 percent of each facade, not including
window and door areas, shall be constructed of one or two major materials per this section.
b. Side and rear facades. Permitted major materials shall continue around the corner of a
building from the street facade onto the side or rear facade for no less than 30 feet along the
side or rear facade. Refer to limited use major materials for materials permitted on side and
rear facades.
c. Permitted major materials. Major materials shall be finish quality materials.
The following are acceptable major materials. Refer to Figure 62-217-1. major materials.

concrete. 2.Synthetic stucco (using foam insulation board). 3.Unfinished or untreated wood
except as listed above. 4.Glass block. 5.Vinyl siding. 6.Plastic, fiberglass and acrylic panels.
e. Limited use major materials. The following materials are prohibited except consistent with
the following:
1.Economy bricks. Brick types larger than three inches in height are permitted as major
materials on interior side, rear, and alley facades.
2.Fiber cement board. Fiber cement lap siding or shingles (such as HardiePlank or
HardieShingle or similar) are permitted on the Yard and Row building type.
3.Wood lap siding and shingles. Painted wood, engineered wood, or composite wood lap

Committee Item Memo
Meeting Date: January 23, 2025
Staff Contact: Scott Viger, Planner
Department: Community Development
Subject: Case No. 25-03 Request for Special Use Permit under Section 62.30 of the
Village Code to allow a “Massage Establishment” at 3745 Grand
Boulevard Luxxe Honor
Background Information:
Luxxe Honor has operated in La Grange for ten years and is looking to relocate to Brookfield.
The shop is located at 331 Hillgrove Avenue, La Grange.
The Zoning Ordinance defines a “Massage” as “any method of pressure or friction against, or
stroking, kneading, rubbing, tapping, pounding, vibrating or stimulating of the external parts of
the human body with the hands or with the aid of any mechanical electrical apparatus or
appliances, with or without such supplementary aids as rubbing alcohol, liniments, antiseptics,
oils, powder, creams, lotions, ointment or other such similar preparations commonly used in
the practice of massage, under such circumstances that it is reasonably expected that the
person to whom the treatment is provided or some third person on his or her behalf will pay
money or give any other consideration or any gratuity therefor.”
Existing Conditions & Site Context
The subject site is 2,207+ square feet square feet and is improved with a two-story commercial
building.

Analysis
The SA 1: Core Mixed-Use District is our downtown, its intent is to continue and enhance the
scale and walkability of the existing mixed-use, main-street style buildings. The district is a
mid-scale district that supports one to six story buildings that make up the core of the mixed-
use areas adjacent to the stations. The main street building type of this district establishes a
street wall of ground story, storefront facades built up to the sidewalk and utilizes on-street
parking or parking in the rear. This district focuses on pedestrian friendly retail, and service
uses on the ground story with residential and/or office uses in upper stories.
As a first-floor retail business, Luxxe Honor complies with as well as enhances the SA 1 district
intent.
The Zoning Ordinance includes Massage Establishment under the general Use Category of
Office but requires a Special Use Permit in the “Downtown” Core Mixed Use District. Luxxe
Honor is primarily a retail establishment but also is looking to include offering aesthetician and
massage services. Even as an ancillary use to the retail establishment the massage still
requires the Special Use permit. Additionally, the Ordinance mandates that the massage use
be located in the rear portion of the business, away from the sidewalk frontage. Luxxe Honor is
compliant with this interior locational requirement. The applicant submitted a floor plan sketch
indicating the massage therapy room, as well as the aesthetician room are located to the rear
of the retail space.
Tentative hours of operation are:
Sunday closed
Monday closed
Tuesday 10:00-6:00 p.m.
Wednesday 11:00-7:00 p.m.
Thursday 10:00-6:00 p.m.
Friday 10:00-6:00 p.m.
Saturday 9:00-5:00 p.m.
In 2007 the Village amended our Code to allow “Commercial Spas” in the then C1 & C3
(Downtown) districts and allow them as a Special Use in C-2 District. Brennan Massage & Spa
then opened at 3700 Grand Boulevard and has operated there continuously since 2007.
Applicant’s Request
The applicant, Luxxe Honor is opening a retail shop for face and body products. Additionally,
they look to offer aesthetician services which are also permitted by right and massage
services. These ancillary services will augment the retail nature of the business.
Standards of Review
Page 26 of 34
Special uses are generally uses which have unique, special or unusual impact upon the use or
the enjoyment of neighboring properties beyond those uses normally included "of right" within
any one zoning district. In developing its recommendation, the Planning & Zoning Commission
shall determine if, and to what extent, the proposed special use at the particular location is
necessary and desirable to provide a service or a facility that is in the interest of public
convenience or will provide for the general welfare of the zoning district or the village as a
whole (Section 62.821e). An application for a special use permit should be considered in the
context of the following standards:
The compatibility of the use with the extent and purpose of the property’s zoning district.
The compatibility of the use with the existing uses on the site and in the vicinity.
Special actions that are contemplated to modify any unique, special, or unusual impacts which
the special use may cause or intensify upon properties or uses upon public facilities or
neighboring properties.
Recommendation(s):
Recommendation
The staff has reviewed the application and the property’s environs and believe that the request
meets the above standards. And therefore, staff respectfully recommends approval of Case
Number 25-03 Special Use Permit under Section 62.30 to allow a Massage Establishment at
3745 as an accessory use to the retail establishment subject to the following conditions:
The Massage Establishment is accessory to Luxxe Honor retail store.
The property shall be developed in compliance with the floor plan submitted to the
Village as part of the application.
Prior to operation of the massage establishment a Massage establishment license must
be obtained from the Village of Brookfield.
