Conduct the public hearing to consider variances to Section 6-16-3:10, Section 6-16-5:2.2.4, and Section 6-16-5:2.2.5.1 of the Naperville Municipal Code in order to install a monument sign at the Speedway gas station located at 631 N. Route 59, Naperville - PZC 18-1-010 Gabrielle Mattingly, Planning Services Team, gave an overview of the request. The PZC inquired about a previous sign variance approved for the property in 2014. Mattingly responded that the variance reduced the sign setback from 10' City of Naperville Page 1 Printed on 6/22/2018 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes June 6, 2018 to 8'. The area, style, and height of the sign were code compliant. Chris Kalischefski, WT Group, spoke on behalf of the petitioner. The PZC inquired about the proposed pole style sign and the location of the sign. Kalischefski responded that the purpose of the opening in the lower portion of the sign is to allow expanded sight lines for cars in the right turn lane. The proposed sign will be located slightly further north of old sign. The proposed sign cannot be located further south due to utilities. Public Testimony: None PZC closed the public hearing. The Planning and Zoning Commission found the petitioner faced a hardship in regards to the setback variance. However, the PZC requested the petitioner continue working with staff regarding the style of the sign and the height of the sign. The majority of the PZC was not in favor of a pole style sign and preferred the height of sign was reduced from 20'. 3. Conduct the public hearing for Illinois Cheer Enterprises (PZC 18-1-046) located at 1152 Frontenac Road, to consider a parking variance Kasey Evans, Planning Services Team, gave an overview of the request. Matt Goodman, attorney Rosanova & Whitaker, spoke on behalf of petitioner. The PZC inquired about the proposed facility. Goodman responded that many users of the gym will be dropped off by parents or will carpool. It is not anticipated that the facility will be parked at maximum capacity. The PZC also inquired about future changes in occupancy of the building. Evans responded that any future occupancy changes are reviewed for compliance with City ordinance at the time of building permit. The parking variance ordinance, if approved, will also include a standard condition that requires the tenant to make adjustments if parking becomes an issue. Public Testimony: None PZC closed the public hearing. The Planning and Zoning Commission was in favor of the proposed variance. A motion was made by Fessler and seconded by Vice Chair Hansen to adopt the findings of fact as presented by the petitioner and approve PZC 18-1-046, a variance to reduce the required off-street parking for Illinois Cheer Enterprises located at 1152 Frontenac Road, Naperville.
