Hollis Gerrie (2414 E Kensington Road, Arlington Heights)
Don Frick (334 S Jefferson, Woodstock)
Ms. Gerrie and Mr. Frick presented an overview of the project.
Kevin Anderson presented an overview of the staff report.
Commissioner Lee asked staff if there would be any additional fencing for security and/or
safety in addition to the landscaped buffer/border. Mr. Anderson responded that from Village
code perspective, the solid board on board fence that is there currently suffices. Landscape
plan shows three additional trees on the north lot line to provide adequate screening. Mr.
Frick commented about fencing concerns with regard to security purposes that the
individuals being served at this facility are highly functioning individuals who live in and
actively participate in their communities. This location is not one where individuals with
behavioral concerns would be participating, therefore it is not planned to add additional
fencing at this time. Commissioner Lee clarified that he was referring to safety of their clients
and did not want to infer that he was asking about keeping people in.
Commissioner Wise asked the petitioners about the area they cover and how they are
funded. Mr. Frick stated all services are provided within Illinois, predominantly the northern
region, and Ms. Gerrie stated that 83% is funded through Federal and State dollars.
Commissioner Milford asked whether there would be adequate lighting around the site for
evening events. Mr. Frick stated that evening events are smaller. However, they are
proposing substantial upgrades to the lighting of the facility, including the parking lot and
security lighting.
Commissioner Harner voiced concern about high school kids hiding around the property. Mr.
Frick stated that lighting is adequate and security cameras are installed inside and outside
the facility. Commissioner Harner praised the program in general. Ms. Gerrie expanded on
the programs' relationship with Hoffman Estates High School and are looking to partner with
them on their transition program and, therefore, proximity to the high school is an added
bonus.
Commissioner Trieb asked for clarification about the new patio area and how it was listed as
being planned to be used for "passive outdoor use"; would it be mainly for afternoon events,
such as cookouts, or other events that could produce alot of noise in the evening? Ms.
Gerrie stated most evening events would be held indoors, and she did not foresee it being a
loud music or party area. She stated the use might be more likely as an area to gather prior
to going out into/coming back from activities the community.

Commissioner Chhatwani first expressed gratitude to Clearbrook for hosting 30 full-time staff
members and offering the opportunity for volunteerism in the community, especially to high
school students. She then expressed concerns about available parking on site, stating there
are currently 72 parking spaces, with several spots planned to be converted into accessible
parking spaces, and 30 spots needed for staff, thus leaving only 26 spots for the
residents/volunteers stopping by the facility, and no local on-street parking available in the
area. She asked whether there is any plan to expand parking for operations or did they feel
this was sufficient for the program? Mr. Frick responded stating this location is ideal for their
program with regard to the number of parking spaces. Many of the program attendees will be
dropped off at the site by Clearbrook vans from the residential group home. None of the
individual program attendees will be driving themselves to the site and there are some OT,
PT and volunteer staff calculated within the 30 staff spaces.
Vice Chairperson Bauske asked the petitioner if they agreed with the conditions of approval
in the staff report. Mr. Frick stated yes.
Chairperson Combs asked staff about Finding #4, stating the answer doesn't refer to
anything regarding the access roads; should we include something to respond to this? Mr.
Anderson responded that he is happy to amend anything the Commission would like, but
that item #5 states that Higgins Road is the primary point of access and that there are two
existing curb cuts that will continue to be utilized. Mr. Anderson also stated there is a cross
access easement available between all the properties allowing travel from the property east
of this site all the way over to Glen Lake Road. Chairperson Combs asked if the easement is
recorded and follows the property. Mr. Anderson stated the easement is recorded against
this property, the property to the east, the property to the west, the dental office and Abby
Automotive.
Chairperson Combs asked staff about off-property overnight parking. Mr. Anderson clarified
that parking of approximately 4 to 8 Clearbrook vehicles will be on-site in the southeastern
rear lot parking spaces overnight. Mr. Frick stated they prefer to keep the buses as close to
the building as they are able from a security camera standpoint.
Chairperson Combs asked if there were any members of the audience that would like to
comment on the request. There were no public comments.
Motion by Commissioner Harner, seconded by Commissioner Trieb, to Close Public
Hearing. Voice vote taken. Ayes - 8, Nays - 0, (Abstain: None). Motion Passed.
Motion by Vice Chairperson Bauske, seconded by Commissioner Harner, to adopt the
Findings of Fact for Site Plan and Special Use, as noted in the Findings &

Public Hearing
Site Plan Amendment and a Special Use to Clearbrook for a social service agency
at 1260 W. Higgins Road
REQUEST SUMMARY
Clearbrook, a social service agency for developmentally disabled adults, has the
property located at 1260 W. Higgins under contract. They are seeking approval to
upgrade the site and operate a social service agency out of the remodeled existing
building. The facility would provide vocational training, therapy, recreational activities,
and social support, and also include administrative offices, spaces for staff training, and
meeting rooms for community partnerships and outreach. Site upgrades proposed
include parking lot geometric modifications, new parking lot lighting and landscaping,
and improved sidewalk access.
Location: 1260 W. Higgins Road
Property Owner / Applicant: MAPT Properties LLC / Clearbrook
Property Size: 0.93 acres
Zoning / Land Use: B-2 Community Business / unoccupied office
building
Adjacent Properties: N - Single Family Residential
E - Medical Offices
W - Vacant/parking lot
S - Single Family Residential
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
The subject property is zoned B-2 Community Business and is improved with a one-
story, 5,100 square foot unoccupied office building. There are two parking areas on the
north and south sides of the building. The applicant is proposing to remodel the interior
of the building to suit their use as a social service agency for adults with developmental
disabilities and upgrade the property to address several code deficiencies.
Operations
Clearbrook is an established social service agency with 60 years experience providing
services to people in the Chicago region, including Hoffman Estates. They currently
operate in over 160 communities in northern Illinois. At this facility, Clearbrook will
provide life skills for up to 50 adults with disabilities. Their service area for this facility
generally includes the Village of Hoffman Estates and surrounding communities.
Clearbrook currently operates 5 community residences within the Village with 29 total
residents.
The facility would provide day services only and there would be no residents living in the
building. The facility would operate from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily and clients would
be brought to the facility by drop off or by passenger vans operated by Clearbrook. The
Page 1 of 3
Page 6 of 37
renovated facility will serve as a multipurpose center offering vocational training,
therapy, recreational activities, and social support. It would also include administrative
offices, spaces for staff training, and meeting rooms for community partnerships and
outreach. Clearbrook operates two passenger vans, one transit van and one shuttle bus
for client pick-up and drop-off. These are standard sized vehicles that would be parked
overnight in the northern parking lot.
Site Plan Modifications
The front parking area, which is currently paved to the Higgins Road sidewalk, would be
modified to create a 10' landscaped buffer between the parking and the public sidewalk,
allowing for the removal of the non-compliant parking blocks. The new two-way drive
aisle width would meet the Village's requirements of 24' and new landscape islands
would be installed at the end of each row of parking. The handicap parking stalls on the
east side of the building would be removed and replaced to meet the current code.
The rear parking area is being modified to improve circulation and make the current
parking more functional. A landscape island is being installed at the end of the current
center row of parking and non-usable spaces at the northwest and northeast corners of
the parking lot would be striped out. The existing dumpster on the west side of the
building is in need of repair and a condition of approval has been added requiring the
enclosure to be reconstructed as part of the site improvements.
Parking lot lighting would be upgraded to provide new fixture heads in compliance with
the Code. Two new light poles would also be added to improve light levels throughout
the parking areas. The upgraded lighting will bring the lighting levels on the site up to
code.
Sidewalks abutting the parking areas adjacent to the building would be widened to 7' to
comply with code and a new pedestrian connection is being installed from Higgins Road
into the site. Existing cross access easements which benefit the properties to the east
and west as well as the subject property would remain in place and would remain
unencumbered by the improvements.
Parking
Currently, there are 72 parking spaces on the site, although some of these are not
functional due to the existing geometric layout. After the proposed improvements to
bring the site more closely up to code, there would be a total of 56 parking spaces,
including 3 accessible stalls. The Petitioner has identified that a maximum of 30
employees would be on site at any one time. Including Clearbrook's van parking, the
total parking demand at the site should not exceed 34 spaces. The petitioner noted that
clients do not drive themselves.
Landscaping
The site has existing landscaping mainly along the east side. The landscape plan
identifies additional landscaping being provided throughout the site via a mix of trees,
shrubs and perennials to bring the site into compliance with code. The Village's planter
box detail used as part of the handicap stall design requires landscaping to be included,
and the landscape plan does not note any plantings. A condition of approval has been
added requiring landscaping to be added as per code.
Page 2 of 3
Page 7 of 37
Utilities & Stormwater Management
The building is already connected to Village sewer and water services and upgrades to
those services are not required with this proposal. The building currently has fire
suppression sprinklers installed. Surface storage of stormwater is provided within the
rear parking lot and, per MWRD, no further improvements are necessary.
Building Facade & Patio
The applicant is not proposing exterior changes to the building facades. The existing
rooftop HVAC units are not screened as per current code requirements and the
petitioner has requested to defer the screening of the rooftop units until those units are
replaced. Clearbrook expects to replace the units within two years of occupying the
building. A condition of approval has been added that screening of the HVAC units be
provided within 2 years of Village Board approval.
A new patio area is proposed along the north side of the building for passive outdoor
use. A retaining wall and decorative fence would be installed to create and define the
patio area.
MOTIONS
The Planning & Zoning Commission shall make the following motions (a total of 2
motions are required):
1. Adopt the Findings of Fact for Site Plan Amendment and Special Use as outlined
in the Findings and Recommendations Summary.
2. Recommend to the Village Board approval of Site Plan Amendment and a
Special Use to Clearbrook for a social service agency at 1260 W. Higgins Road,
subject to the following conditions:
a. A building permit shall be obtained within six (6) months of the date of
approval.
b. The Special Use is granted solely to Clearbrook and may not be
transferred or assigned.
c. Landscaping shall be installed within the accessible stall planter boxes.
d. The garbage enclosure shall be reconstructed as part of the site
improvements. Plans shall be submitted as part of the building/site
development permit.
e. Screening of all rooftop units shall be provided within 2 years of the date
of Village Board approval.

PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY
Meeting Date: 11/20/2024
Prepared By: Kevin Anderson, Associate Planner
PLN24-0043
Site Plan Amendment and a Special Use to Clearbrook for a
social service agency at 1260 W. Higgins Road
Draft Findings of Fact – Special Use (as drafted by staff and may be modified by the Commission)
Sec. 9-1-18-I: Standards. No special use shall be recommended by the Planning and Zoning
Commission unless said Planning and Zoning Commission shall find:
1. That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will not be detrimental to or
endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare.
FINDING: The Petition is for a social service agency which actively promotes public health,
safety, and welfare.
2. That the special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate
vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within
the neighborhood.
FINDING: The proposal would repurpose an unoccupied commercially zoned property. The
proposed use would not be as intense as a commercial use of the same property could be. The
Petitioner would comply with the performance standards of the Zoning Code. Landscaping and
lighting associated with this project are designed to minimize any impacts on adjoining
residential properties.
3. That the establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and
improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district.
FINDING: The proposed improvements would only impact the subject property. The Petitioner is
aware of and would maintain the existing cross access easement which benefits the
neighboring properties. The proposal would not impede any redevelopment or reuse of
adjoining properties.
4. That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, and/or necessary facilities have been or are being
provided.
FINDING: All utilities would be provided by existing services. Storm water would be managed on
site and the Petitioner has already received approval from the MWRD for the storm sewer
design.
5. That adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress or egress so designed as to
minimize traffic congestion in public streets.
FINDING: Higgins Road is an IDOT right-of-way and curb cuts are restricted by them. This
proposal would continue to use two existing shared curb cuts adjacent to the front parking
area. The traffic generated by the proposal would be less intense than a commercial use of the
Page 9 of 37
property could potentially allow. A cross-access easement also provides direct access from the
subject property to Glen Lake Road.
6. That the special use shall in all other respects conform to the applicable regulations of the district in
which it is located, except in each instance as such regulations may be modified by the Village Board
pursuant to the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
FINDING: The updated site plan is generally compliant with the Code. The proposed operations
would comply with the Village’s performance standards.
7. That the special use shall support the economic development goals of the Village as conveyed through
the Village's Comprehensive Plan, or other relevant adopted sub-area or strategic plans.
FINDING: The proposed facility would provide needed social services to the community.
Draft Findings of Fact – Site Plan (as drafted by staff and may be modified by the Commission)
Sec. 10-2-2-H: Planning and Zoning Commission Review and Recommendation
1. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval for the stated reasons.
FINDING: The proposed site plan modifications address several code deficiencies and will
improve site circulation, safety and aesthetics.

1. That the establishment, maintenance or operation of the special use will not be detrimental
to or endanger their public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare, Please explain
how and why you will meet this standard.
To ensure that the establishment, maintenance, and operation of our facility will positively
contribute to public health, safety, morals, comfort, and general welfare, Clearbrook will
implement the following strategies:
1. We will actively engage with local residents to understand their concerns and needs,
allowing us to address any potential negative impacts proactively.
2. A spacious common area will be created to host recreational activities, social events,
and community gatherings, fostering a sense of community and promoting social
interaction.
3. We recognize the increasing demand for facilities catering to individuals with
developmental disabilities, and we are committed to ensuring our services are tailored
to meet this need effectively.
4. We will use durable materials in our facility’s construction and establish a regular
maintenance schedule to ensure a welcoming and functional environment for all.
5. Clearbrook is dedicated to adhering to all state regulations to guarantee the highest
standards of safety and quality.
2. That the special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the
immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair
property values within that neighborhood. Please explain how and why you meet this
standard.
To demonstrate that Clearbrook will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of surrounding
properties or diminish property values, we will implement several key strategies:
1. Our facility will focus on fostering inclusion by engaging individuals in community
activities. By promoting positive interactions between participants and local residents,
we aim to enhance the neighborhood’s vibrancy.
2. We will ensure that our facility is aesthetically pleasing and harmonizes with the
surrounding architecture. Thoughtful landscaping and design will contribute to the
overall appeal of the area.

Project Overview
This project involves the renovation of a 5,100-square-foot building to create a welcoming, accessible,
and supportive environment for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The
goal is to provide an inclusive space that fosters personal growth, independence, and community
engagement. The renovated facility will serve as a multipurpose center offering vocational training,
therapy, recreational activities, and social support for individuals with IDD. It will also include
administrative offices, spaces for staff training, and meeting rooms for community partnerships and
outreach. Below are a few details:
Hours of Operation: 08:00AM – 05:00PM
Number of Employees: 30- at any given time
Number of employee vehicles during work hours: 20
Number of Clients: 50- at any given time
Number of Clearbrook Vehicles parking on site: 10
Transporting clients to and from CDS: Shuttling
Deliveries: No
Outdoor activities: No
Special events: No
Background and Need
Individuals with IDD face significant challenges in accessing services that meet their specific needs.
Many existing facilities are outdated or not adequately designed to support the full inclusion of these
individuals in society. This project addresses the critical need for a dedicated, modern space that
prioritizes accessibility, safety, and comfort. By creating an inclusive environment, this renovation will
contribute to improved quality of life and greater opportunities for individuals with IDD to lead fulfilling
and independent lives.
Page 19 of 37
Design Philosophy
The renovation will focus on creating a barrier-free environment tailored to the needs of persons with
IDD. The design will incorporate universal design principles to ensure accessibility for individuals with
varying levels of mobility and cognitive ability. Key design elements include:
Sensory-Friendly Spaces: Design features such as soundproofing, soft lighting, and soothing colors will
be integrated to reduce sensory overload and create calm environments.
Accessible Layouts: The building will have wide corridors, and ramps to ensure ease of movement for
individuals with mobility challenges. Bathrooms, kitchens, and common areas will be designed for full
accessibility, including wheelchair access.
Safety Features: Specialized safety measures such as non-slip flooring, clear signage with visual aids,
and emergency communication systems will be installed to ensure the safety of residents and visitors.
Flexible Spaces: Multi-functional rooms will be created for group activities, therapy sessions, and
vocational training, allowing for adaptability to various programs and services.
Key Components of the Renovation:
Therapy and Treatment Rooms: Dedicated spaces for physical therapy, occupational therapy, and behavioral
support will be included. These spaces will provide individualized treatment and care in a setting designed for ease
of access and privacy.
Vocational Training Center: To promote employment and life skills, the facility will include a vocational training
center where individuals with IDD can learn skills such as woodworking, culinary arts, gardening, and office tasks.
Recreation and Socialization Areas: A large common area will be created to host recreational activities,
social events, and community gatherings. Outdoor spaces, such as sensory gardens and a playground,
will be designed to encourage physical activity and relaxation in a safe, accessible environment.
Staff Offices and Training Areas: The renovation will also include modernized administrative offices and
spaces for staff training. These areas will support the delivery of high-quality services by ensuring that
staff have the necessary resources and professional development opportunities.
Sustainability and Energy Efficiency:
The renovation will incorporate green building practices to promote energy efficiency and reduce
environmental impact. Energy-efficient lighting, heating, and cooling systems will be installed, and
sustainable building materials will be used where possible.
Community Impact:
This project is expected to have a lasting positive impact on the community. It will provide individuals
with IDD the opportunity to participate in activities that enhance their skills, foster friendships, and
encourage independence. The facility will also serve as a community hub, offering resources and
support for families, caregivers, and professionals working in the field of intellectual and developmental
disabilities.
By creating a state-of-the-art facility that addresses the unique needs of individuals with IDD, this project
will help break down barriers and ensure that every person has the opportunity to thrive in an inclusive
environment.
