Planning & Zoning Commission Agenda Page 1  VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Planning & Zoning Commission STAFF REPORT DATE: October 1, 2025 CASE FILE NO: 2025-10-ZO-PUD DESCRIPTION: Planned Development proposal for Burton & Company Design Studio to operate as an event venue in ORA-1 District. PETITIONER: Diana Burton 714 Enterprise Drive, Suite 101 Oak brook, IL 60523 ADDRESS: 714 Enterprise Drive, Suite 101, Oak Brook, IL 60523 EXISTING ZONING/USE: ORA-1, Office-Research-Assembly District, the 1.01-acre property is currently improved with an existing office building. ZONING/USE OF SURROUNDING PROPERTY: North: Tollway and ORA-1, Office-Research-Assembly District, office building. South: ORA-1, Office-Research-Assembly District, office building. East: Same. West: Same, approved Planned Development for Carvana. LOCATION: The subject property is located north of Enterprise Drive and south of Tollway, accessed from north of 22nd Street. 714 Enterprise Drive STAFF REPORT – PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 714 ENTERPRISE DRIVE CASE NO. 2025-10-ZO-PUD BACKGROUND: Burton & Company Design Studio (Burton Design), with the consent of the property owner, has submitted an application requesting approval of a Planned Development (“PD”) to operate an event venue at 714 Enterprise Drive. The request is to utilize the renovated interior to accommodate events of 50-60 people (38 seated) in the evenings and weekends. Burton Design currently operates as a full- service interior design firm in a 2,500 SF area within the building. A Preliminary Board Review of the application was conducted by the Village Board on August 12, 2025, as required in the Village’s PD regulations. The preliminary Board review is the first step in the process outlined in the PD regulations and is intended to provide an applicant with early feedback. A separate neighborhood meeting was not required as part of the outreach for this redevelopment project. Since the 1.01-acre property is surrounded solely by non-residential land uses such as offices, it was determined that a public hearing before the Planning & Zoning Commission would be adequate and provide the necessary and legally required forum for public feedback/comment on this redevelopment project. Planned Development. The event venue use by Burton & Company Design Studio is proposed as a Planned Development. The intent and purpose of the planned development regulations, standards and criteria is to provide an alternate zoning procedure under which land can be developed or redeveloped with innovation, imagination, and creative architectural design when sufficiently justified under the provisions of this chapter. The objective of the planned development is to encourage a higher level of design and amenity than is possible to achieve under standard zoning regulations. The end result is intended to be a product which fulfills the objectives of the Village of Oak Brook’s Comprehensive Plan and planning policies while allowing flexibility from the standard application of the use and bulk regulations. The planned development is intended to permit and encourage flexibility and to accomplish the following: 1. To stimulate creative approaches to commercial, nonsingle-family residential, and commercial/ mixed-use development of land; 2. To provide more efficient use of land; 3. To preserve natural features and provide open space areas and recreation in excess of those required under standard zoning regulations; 4. To develop and implement new approaches to the living environment through variety in type, design and layout of buildings, transportation systems, and public facilities; 5. To unify building and structures through design; and 6. To promote long-term planning pursuant to the village’s plan, intended to allow harmonious and compatible land uses or combination of uses with surrounding areas. 2 STAFF REPORT – PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 714 ENTERPRISE DRIVE CASE NO. 2025-10-ZO-PUD Proposed Departures. Section 13-15-2E of the PD regulations acknowledges that proposed planned developments need not comply with the density, dimension, area, bulk, use, and other zoning regulations that, but for the provisions of this chapter, would otherwise apply to the property on which the proposed planned development is intended. Modifications and departures from the standard provisions may be provided in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and to the extent that they will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare. The departures from standard being proposed as part of this PD application are identified at the end of the “Application Forms” Tab 11, in the petitioner’s materials and are as follows: 1. Use: To allow the interior design studio to operate as an event venue use. 2. Monument Sign. Section 13-11.5.B. 7. To allow a free standing sign with support poles. 3. Landscaping. Section 13-11-4. B. To allow for a monument sign without the required landscaping all around. STAFF ANALYSIS: As part of this review, the following commentary should be considered as part of the PD Commission’s analysis and deliberations on the request. Planned Development. The subject property is currently zoned ORA-1 Office-Research-Assembly District. Banquet facilities or event venues are not listed as a Permitted or Special Use in the ORA-1 District. Banquet and event venues are listed as a Permitted Use within the B-2, Regional Shopping Center District. Three (3) waivers are being requested from the strict application of the zoning code. Instead of processing this case with multiple requests for variations before the Planning & Zoning Commission, the planned development submittal incorporates all of these elements into a single request that can be reviewed and evaluated as a unified development project. Section 13-15-2A General Provisions of the PD regulations does allow redevelopment within a planned development overlay district. Section 13-15-2B further indicates that each PD shall be presented and reviewed on its own merits. The project must still be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and provide tangible benefits to the community. As such, a PD application has been submitted for this event venue use. The improvements will consist of exterior ground sign only. Consistency with the Planned Development Regulations. The applicant has provided documentation, plans, and other review materials for their PD application that are included in the packet. Planned Development Standards. The applicant has addressed and responded in detail to the Planned Development Standards as required in Section 13-15-3 of the Regulations. 3 STAFF REPORT – PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 714 ENTERPRISE DRIVE CASE NO. 2025-10-ZO-PUD Building setbacks. The event venue is proposed within an existing building. Consistency with Commercial Areas Revitalization Plan. The Commercial Areas Revitalization Master Plan of 2019 was superseded by the adoption of Ordinance S-1647 on April 12, 2022. The event use is not listed as a Permitted Use or Special use in ORA-1 District and is not specifically listed in any other district. Historically, banquet facilities have been permitted as an accessory use within the CR, Conservation Recreation District and the commercial districts, which permit hotels. Stormwater and Floodplain. The property is not located within the regulatory floodway or floodplain. The proposed use shall comply with the Village’s adopted stormwater ordinance requirements. Water and Sanitary Utilities. During the permit review it will be confirmed if the existing water service for the building is sufficient for the proposed use. Sanitary service is being provided by the Flagg Creek Water Reclamation District (FCWRD). Site Lighting. There are no additional exterior lighting being proposed. Building Architecture. There are no changes proposed to the existing building exterior. The applicant submitted a permit for interior demolition (BP-24-433). Interior renovations were completed and a certificate of occupancy was issued in July 2025. Signs. The applicant is proposing a monument sign at the west driveway entrance to the building and is requesting two (2) waivers from the Village sign regulations. A detailed review will be conducted by staff following a sign permit submittal. Landscaping and Open Space. No changes are proposed to the existing landscaping and open space. Existing landscaping related to the parking lot will remain as is. Traffic Access and Parking Considerations. The applicant proposes approximately 8 events per month, scheduled on weekday evenings after office hours and on weekends. The existing parking facilities comply with Village Code requirements. Pedestrian Access and Circulation. The commercial areas in the Village are generally auto oriented but do include some pedestrian circulation. However, there is currently no pedestrian access along Enterprise Drive. DuPage County Health Department. The applicant has received approval from the DuPage County Health Department to operate without a food permit subject to certain conditions. RESPONSIBILITIES OF HEARING BODY: As part of the Planned Development Regulations, the Planning & Zoning Commission shall review the application, the standards and requirements, the report of the Development Services Director, and any oral and written comments and testimony received by the Planning & Zoning Commission before and 4 STAFF REPORT – PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 714 ENTERPRISE DRIVE CASE NO. 2025-10-ZO-PUD at the public hearing. The Planning & Zoning Commission shall recommend approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the proposed planned development. Every recommendation of the Commission upon any application filed pursuant to the Planned Development Regulations shall include such findings of fact and conclusions as the Commission shall deem necessary. The findings shall generally refer to the evidence in the record and to the exhibits, plans, or specifications upon which the recommendation is based. The findings shall generally specify the reason or reasons for the recommendation and shall contain a conclusion or statement setting forth the recommendation of the commission. Every recommendation shall expressly set forth any limitations or conditions. In order to make a recommendation to approve (with or without conditions) or a recommendation to deny a proposed planned development or an amendment to an existing planned development, the affirmative vote of a majority of all members of the commission then holding office shall be required. When appropriate, please include in your consideration, findings with respect to the standards specified in the Planned Development Regulations for approval of the planned development. The materials submitted by the applicant specifically address each of these standards. CONCLUSION: Staff would like the Planning & Zoning Commission’s feedback on the proposed petition and the departures from the standards that are being requested. As part of this discussion, staff has provided a series of additional conditions that can be included in a recommendation to ensure that applicable considerations are memorialized for the development. As such, staff is providing the accompanying conditions for Planning & Zoning Commission review and discussion. If the Commission is prepared to make a recommendation, I would ask that you consider the conditions, incorporate any new recommendations and include the planned development findings (as identified in the petitioner’s application materials) in your motion. 1. The Fire Department and Development Services shall issue an Occupancy Permit prior to operation of the event venue. 2. Sign proposals shall comply with applicable sign code regulations of the Oak Brook zoning ordinance unless otherwise modified or varied. 3. Compliance with Plans: The event venue use and operation will be in substantial compliance with the plans and documents as submitted, except for minor changes approved by the Development Services Director and Village Manager in accordance with Section 13-15-8 of the Zoning Ordinance. Please contact staff if you have any questions. 5 STAFF REPORT – PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 714 ENTERPRISE DRIVE CASE NO. 2025-10-ZO-PUD Respectfully Submitted, Respectfully Submitted, _______________________ Rama Raman Rebecca Von Drasek Village Planner Development Services Director 6 From: Rama Raman To: sarah@burtondesignstudio.com; diana@burtondesignstudio.com Cc: Rebecca Von Drasek, MPA; Cathy Chiarelli Subject: 714 Enterprise Date: Wednesday, September 10, 2025 10:35:13 AM Good morning, Following the pre-filing meeting for the change of use at 714 Enterprise, please see staff comments below. Based off the given square footage of approximately 2500 sq ft and the proposed assembly use, the required restroom facilities needed would be a 2- toilet female restroom and a 1-toilet, 1-urinal male restroom. Both would need to be accessible. The other option would be to provide 2 additional single use restrooms. 1 being accessible and 1 containing a urinal. This is based off the 2018 Illinois Plumbing code 890.Appendix A. and 410 ILCS 35 of the Equitable Restrooms Act Based off the installation of kitchen equipment in the space, the range hood would need to be verified to match the BTU output of the 6-burner range and have an Ansul system installed per 2021 IFC or NFPA (FD to verify) Based off the banquet assembly use and full kitchen being in the space, a triple basin sink, and corresponding grease interceptor may need to be installed. DuPage County Health Department and IDPH will need to be consulted for verification based on applicants proposed catering use. Based off the change of use from business to assembly, egress and exiting requirements will need to be reviewed and verified by an Illinois licensed design professional. Based on the need for additional restroom facilities for the proposed change of use, Public Works advised the building only has a 1” meter. With the additional fixture units, a new WSFU calculation will need to be provided to verify if a water meter upgrade will be necessary.

Design Studio​ 714 Enterprise Drive​ Oak Brook, IL 60523​ 708.567.6817​ diana@burtondesignstudio.com 08.20.2025 To Members of the Village of Oak Brook Board: Tucked away from the bustle of Oak Brook Center, Burton & Company Design Studio occupies a 2,500-square-foot space at 714 Enterprise Drive. We are a boutique firm specializing in full-service interior design, with a particular focus on kitchens and baths. From its inception, the studio was thoughtfully designed not only as a workspace, but also as a venue for intimate private gatherings. Unlike traditional kitchen and bath showrooms, our material samples are tucked away, allowing the space to feel warm and inviting — more like a beautifully appointed private home than a commercial showroom. The result is a unique environment well-suited for events such as small celebrations, book clubs, and holiday gatherings. Hosting events at The Studio is a key part of our business plan. Not only would it help offset significant overhead expenses — critical for the sustainability of a small business — but it would also provide invaluable exposure, attracting potential design clients who experience the studio firsthand. The Studio features an elegant entryway with a stylish bar and lounge seating, a chef’s kitchen with luxury appliances and a generous dining table, a cozy banquette, and two inviting living areas. The space can comfortably accommodate 38 guests for a seated dinner using our existing furnishings. Larger dinner groups can be accommodated by setting up extra tables and chairs. For events with passed appetizers, the capacity increases to approximately 50–60 guests. There is currently nothing quite like The Studio in Oak Brook. Existing event venues in the area are primarily large hotel banquet halls or restaurant private rooms — options that often lack the intimacy and flexibility our space offers. We believe The Studio fills a valuable niche, providing Oak Brook residents with a unique, upscale space for small, private events. We would also be honored to make the venue available for Village-sponsored gatherings or community initiatives. In addition to serving local residents, The Studio has the potential to draw visitors from surrounding communities, helping to generate business for Oak Brook’s hotels, shops, and restaurants. We plan to provide each event guest with a curated map of local accommodations and attractions, encouraging them to explore and enjoy the area. Furthermore, our event strategy will promote and support other local businesses — including caterers, florists, musicians, photographers, and rental companies. We intend to recommend a network of trusted Oak Brook-area vendors to our clients, contributing to a collaborative and mutually supportive small business ecosystem. Lastly, I’d like to emphasize the broader importance of supporting small businesses like ours. Independent businesses are vital to the economic and cultural health of a community. They create local jobs, reinvest in the community, and offer services tailored to the needs and values of residents. They also foster a sense of connection, providing spaces where people can come together, collaborate, and build meaningful relationships. Strengthening and sustaining small businesses ultimately contributes to the resilience, vibrancy, and long-term prosperity of the Village of Oak Brook. Thank you for considering our request to approve Burton & Company Design Studio for use as a private event venue. We would be happy to provide additional details, answer any questions, or meet with Village representatives to discuss our vision further. Kindly, ​ Diana Burton Founder/Principal Designer 708.567.6817 diana@burtondesignstudio.co m burtonandcodesignstudio.com MARKET ANALYSIS Market Analysis: Potential Tax Revenue for the Village of Oak Brook from Burton & Co. Design Studio Events Proposed Event Frequency: 96 events per year (average of 8 events per month) I. Introduction This market analysis aims to estimate the potential tax revenue generated for the Village of Oak Brook, as well as the economic benefit to local businesses, should Burton & Co. Design Studio be granted the rights to host events at its studio. Based on a proposed schedule of 96 events annually, this analysis will project the impact on sales tax, hotel tax, and overall economic activity within the village. II. Assumptions for Revenue Projection To provide a conservative yet realistic projection, the following assumptions have been made: ●​ Average Event Attendance: 50 guests per event. ●​ Guest Origin: 30% of guests are from outside Oak Brook and require overnight accommodation. ●​ Average Guest Spend (Per Event): ●​ Event-Related Spend (On-site/Direct): $20 per guest (e.g., small retail purchases, event-specific fees subject to sales tax). ●​ Restaurant Spend: $40 per guest (for out-of-town guests and local guests utilizing local dining options). ●​ Hotel Spend: $150 per room per night (for out-of-town guests). ●​ Tax Rates (Village of Oak Brook): ●​ Sales Tax: 1% (Village portion of Illinois sales tax). ●​ Hotel Tax: 6% (Village portion of hotel/motel tax). III. Projected Annual Revenue Generation A. Direct Event-Related Revenue (Subject to Sales Tax) ●​ Total Annual Attendees: 96 events/year * 50 guests/event = 4,800 guests ●​ Total Annual Event-Related Spend: 4,800 guests * $20/guest = $96,000 ●​ Potential Village Sales Tax Revenue: $96,000 * 1% = $960.00 B. Local Restaurant Revenue (Subject to Sales Tax) ●​ Total Annual Restaurant Spend: 4,800 guests * $40/guest = $192,000 ●​ Potential Village Sales Tax Revenue from Restaurants: $192,000 * 1% = $1,920.00 C. Local Hotel Revenue (Subject to Hotel Tax) ●​ Out-of-Town Guests per Event: 50 guests * 30% = 15 guests. ●​ Assumed Hotel Occupancy: 2 guests per room (requiring 7-8 rooms per event, rounded to 8 for projection). ●​ Total Hotel Room Nights per Year: 96 events * 8 rooms/event = 768 room nights ●​ Total Annual Hotel Revenue Generated: 768 room nights * $150/room = $115,200 ●​ Potential Village Hotel Tax Revenue: $115,200 * 6% = $6,912.00 IV. Summary of Potential Annual Tax Revenue for the Village of Oak Brook ●​ Sales Tax (Direct Event-Related): $960.00 ●​ Sales Tax (Restaurant Spend): $1,920.00 ●​ Hotel Tax: $6,912.00 Total Estimated Annual Tax Revenue for the Village of Oak Brook: $9,792.00 V. Broader Economic Impact on Local Businesses Beyond direct tax revenue, hosting 96 events annually at Burton & Co. Design Studio will provide significant economic stimulus to other local businesses: ●​ Restaurants & Bars: An estimated $192,000 in additional annual revenue for Oak Brook restaurants and bars, driven by both local and out-of-town event attendees. This increased foot traffic and spending can lead to higher wages for employees, potential new hires, and greater profitability for establishments. ●​ Hotels: An estimated $115,200 in additional annual revenue for Oak Brook hotels, supporting local hospitality jobs and contributing to the overall vibrancy of the hotel sector. ●​ Retailers: While not specifically quantified for sales tax beyond direct event-related spend, event attendees, particularly out-of-town guests, are likely to patronize other local retail establishments before or after events, contributing further to local sales tax revenue. ●​ Service Providers: Increased activity may also indirectly benefit local service providers such as transportation services, florists, and other event-related vendors. VI. Conclusion Based on the projections, granting Burton & Co. Design Studio the right to host events would generate an estimated average ofIII. Projected Annual Revenue Generation A. Direct Event-Related Revenue (Subject to Sales Tax) ●​ Total Annual Attendees: 96 events/year * 50 guests/event = 4,800 guests ●​ Total Annual Event-Related Spend: 4,800 guests * $20/guest = $96,000 ●​ Potential Village Sales Tax Revenue: $96,000 * 1% = $960.00 B.

Summary of Potential Annual Tax Revenue for the Village of Oak Brook ●​ Sales Tax (Direct Event-Related): $960.00 ●​ Sales Tax (Restaurant Spend): $1,920.00 ●​ Hotel Tax: $9,216.00 Total Estimated Annual Tax Revenue for the Village of Oak Brook: $12,096.00 V.

VI. Conclusion Based on the projections, granting Burton & Co. Design Studio the right to host 96 events annually would generate an estimated $12,096.00 in direct tax revenue for the Village of Oak Brook. More significantly, it would inject an additional $345,600 annually into the local economy through increased patronage of premium restaurants and luxury hotels. This consistent influx of visitors and spending would provide substantial economic benefits, supporting local businesses, fostering job growth, and enhancing the overall vitality of the Oak Brook community. Therefore, approval of this request is anticipated to yield a positive and measurable economic impact for the Village.  ITEM 6.D.1. BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETING SAMUEL E.
