(IV) CASE DESCRIPTIONS Case 2024-05P – Zoning Map Amendment: 9239 Gross Point Road Waterway Gas & Wash Company, a Missouri Corporation, requests to amend the zoning map to change the zoning district for 9239 Gross Point Road from B1 Service Commercial to B3 Business. PINs: 10-16-221-003-0000, 10-16-221-004-0000, 10-16-221-005-0000, 10-16-221- 006- 0000, and 10-16-221-036-0000 Mike Goldman, Vice President and General Counsel of Waterway Gas and Wash Company, presented the case. He stated that Waterway has been open for approximately 4 years and was presented with the opportunity to expand its facility in 2022 when the owner of 9239 Gross Point Road approached Waterway and notified # 619311 Plan Commission meeting minutes May 2, 2024 them that they were selling the property. The 9239 Gross Point Road property is needed to be rezoned from B1 to B3 in order to have consistent zoning across the entire site. Chairman Paul Luke asked about the bicycle service station that was presented as part of a previous waterway Gas & Wash case a couple years ago. He would like to see the same thing implemented in this location Mr. Goldman stated that the bicycle service is in their Northbrook location, and will be implemented here as well. Commissioner Scott Berman asked if there will be any changes to the points of ingress and egress on Skokie Boulevard and if there will be additional lighting for the site and how that will impact the surrounding neighbors to the west on Gross Point Road. Mr. Goldman confirmed that there will be no change to the points of ingress and egress on Skokie Boulevard, and explained that there will be additional lighting and that they have proposed using all LED lighting fixtures that would keep all of the light on site. Chairman Paul Luke asked about the noise levels of the vacuums. Mr. Goldman clarified that he does not have the exact decibel levels of the vacuums but that the vacuum components that produce the most noise will be stowed away and hidden to reduce noise levels on site. Mike Voitik, Planning Technician, requested the report to be accepted into the record. He went on to state that a car wash use is not allowed in the existing B1 zoning and that the Village has been slowly phasing out the B1 zoning as well. The only remaining B1 zoned-property on this block will be the 7-Eleven and the rezoning to B3 matches the more-intense commercial zoned properties north of the subject site along Skokie Boulevard. The petitioner was agreeable with the staff report recommendations and had nothing further to add. Case 2024-06P – Subdivision: 9208 Skokie Boulevard and 9239 Gross Point Road Waterway Gas & Wash Company, a Missouri Corporation, requests a subdivision of 19 lots into 1 lot in a B3 Business zoning district with a 3-foot-wide right-of-way dedication along Church Street and a 5-foot-wide right-of-way dedication along Gross Point Road, and any relief that may be discovered during the review of this case. PINs: 10-16-221-003-0000, 10-16-221-004-0000, 10-16-221-005-0000, 10-16-221- 006- 0000, 10-16-221-007-0000, 10-16-221-011-0000, 10-16-221-012-0000, 10-16- # 619311 Plan Commission meeting minutes May 2, 2024 221-013-0000, 10-16-221-014-0000, 10-16-221-015-0000, 10-16-221-022-0000, 10- 16-221-023-0000, 10-16-221-024-0000, 10-16-221-025-0000, 10-16-221-026-0000, 10- 16-221-027-0000, 10-16-221-028-0000, 10-16-221-036-0000, and 10-16-221- 037- 0000 Mike Goldman, Vice President and General Counsel of Waterway Gas and Wash Company, presented the case. He stated that Waterway prepared a subdivision for the 9208 Skokie Boulevard site as part of the series of cases for the original proposal for Waterway, but as a result of the pandemic, the subdivision was never recorded. The new subdivision will incorporate the parcels from both the existing and newly-acquired properties and combine them into a single lot. Mike Voitik, Associate Planner, requested the report be accepted into the record as written. Both dedications were originally requested in 2017 as part of the initial subdivision request. The 3’-wide dedication along Church Street will place the existing multi-use path within the Church Street right-of-way and the 5’-wide dedication along Gross Point Road will allow for future expansion of the width of the sidewalk. The existing sidewalk contains many obstructions and the dedication will provide space for a potentially wider sidewalk and perhaps parkway trees. In the future, if IDOT were to have a project to improve things on Gross Point Road, they would have a wider sidewalk to potentially add parkway trees and provide a bigger walkway. This would be a modification over the previous subdivision that was presented for a vote in 2017. Case 2024-07P – Site Plan Approval: 9208 Skokie Boulevard and 9239 Gross Point Road Waterway Gas & Wash Company, a Missouri Corporation, requests to amend an existing site plan approval for a 1-lot planned development at 9208 Skokie Boulevard in a B3 Business zoning district that includes an automotive fuel station, convenience store, car wash, surface parking, and storm water detention in order to modify the site plan to allow for the expansion of the car wash use onto the 9239 Gross Point Road property, and any relief that may be discovered during the review of this case. PINs: 10-16-221-003-0000, 10-16-221-004-0000, 10-16-221-005-0000, 10-16-221- 006- 0000, 10-16-221-007-0000, 10-16-221-011-0000, 10-16-221-012-0000, 10-16- 221- 013-0000, 10-16-221-014-0000, 10-16-221-015-0000, 10-16-221-022-0000, 10- 16-221-023-0000, 10-16-221-024-0000, 10-16-221-025-0000, 10-16-221-026-0000, 10- 16-221-027-0000, 10-16-221-028-0000, 10-16-221-036-0000, and 10-16-221- 037- 0000 Mike Goldman, Vice President and General Counsel of Waterway Gas and Wash Company, presented the case. He stated that Waterway Gas and Wash Company would be modestly changing the site and the vacuum area. There will be a full- service vacuum with a new self-service vacuum area for customers who wish to detail their cars themselves. # 619311 Plan Commission meeting minutes May 2, 2024 Mike Voitik, Planning Technician, stated that staff is supportive of the request to expand the facility northward and offer self-service vacuum stations. Staff requests to amend the existing site plan approval case, and as part of that, repeal the existing site plan approval ordinance. Mr. Voitik presented the recommended conditions tied to this case pertaining to bicycle parking, trash clean-up, fire department comments, and site plans showing current dedications on Gross Point Road. These are all conditions that need to be addressed before the case is presented to the Board of Trustees. Case 2024-08P – Special Use Permit: 9208 Skokie Boulevard Waterway Gas & Wash Company, a Missouri Corporation, requests to amend an existing special use permit for an automotive fuel station in a B3 Business zoning district in order to modify the site plan, and any relief that may be discovered during the review of this case. PINs: 10-16-221-003-0000, 10-16-221-004-0000, 10-16-221-005-0000, 10-16-221- 006- 0000, 10-16-221-007-0000, 10-16-221-011-0000, 10-16-221-012-0000, 10-16- 221- 013-0000, 10-16-221-014-0000, 10-16-221-015-0000, 10-16-221-022-0000, 10- 16-221-023-0000, 10-16-221-024-0000, 10-16-221-025-0000, 10-16-221-026-0000, 10- 16-221-027-0000, 10-16-221-028-0000, 10-16-221-036-0000, and 10-16-221- 037- 0000 Mike Goldman, Vice President and General Counsel of Waterway Gas and Wash Company, presented the case. He stated that Waterway is applying for two special use permits to amend the current special use permits that that allow an automotive fuel station and a car wash in the B3 Business zoning district. Mike Voitik clarified that case 2024-08P is the automotive fuel station, and serves as a technical cleanup as conditions in the existing ordinance reference an outdated site plan. Case 2024-09P – Special Use Permit: 9208 Skokie Boulevard Waterway Gas & Wash Company, a Missouri Corporation, requests to amend an existing special use permit for a car wash in a B3 Business zoning district in order to modify the site plan, and any relief that may be discovered during the review of this case. PINs: 10-16-221-003-0000, 10-16-221-004-0000, 10-16-221-005-0000, 10-16-221- 006- 0000, 10-16-221-007-0000, 10-16-221-011-0000, 10-16-221-012-0000, 10-16- 221- 013-0000, 10-16-221-014-0000, 10-16-221-015-0000, 10-16-221-022-0000, 10- 16-221-023-0000, 10-16-221-024-0000, 10-16-221-025-0000, 10-16-221-026-0000, 10- 16-221-027-0000, 10-16-221-028-0000, 10-16-221-036-0000, and 10-16-221- 037- 0000 Chairman Paul Luke asked staff why there are two separate special use permit cases for the same address. # 619311 Plan Commission meeting minutes May 2, 2024 Mike Voitik explained that both special use cases would serve as technical clean-up for previous site plan approval ordinances and they require separate cases if one were to stop functioning or amended. 2024-09P also serves as a technical clean-up of the site plan, but the site is expanding so it will need to be modified as well Commissioner Mathee asked if the alley would be vacated. Mike Voitik, clarified that there are no vacations tied to this case, but rather dedications. Chairman Paul Luke asked the petitioner, Mike Goldman, back up to the stand to ask if there were questions or comments about the staff reports or staff recommended conditions. Mr. Goldman had no questions. Case 2024-10P – Site Plan Approval: 3200, 3220, and 3250 Touhy Avenue Byline Bank, Metro Storage Skokie, LLC, and TM3250, LLC, request site plan approval for a 3-lot planned development that includes an existing bank with a drive- through and 2nd floor office at 3200 Touhy Avenue, an existing self-service storage facility at 3220 Touhy Avenue, and a proposed car wash at 3250 Touhy Avenue in a B3 Business zoning district and an M2 Light Industry zoning district and any relief that may be discovered during the review of this case. Jameel Ahmed, the licensed civil engineer for the project, presented the case. He explained the site layout and circulation with traffic coming from Touhy and Kedzie Avenues. Jameel explained that the project would have an improved landscape plan and major modifications to the previous site plan approval from 2018 with the WashU car wash proposal, so there is a need to return for approval once again. Commissioner Scott Berman asks Jameel to clarify the traffic flow of the site. Jameel explained that there are two entrance points to the site, via the right-in right- out driveway on Touhy Avenue on the south, and the driveway off of Kedzie Avenue on the east side of the site. Traffic would enter in either location and queuing for the carwash would be located along the west property line. Commissioner Scott Berman asked if the driveway entrance and exit on Touhy Avenue would be accessed by the bank and storage facility as well. Jameel Ahmed confirmed that the driveways on Touhy and Kedzie Avenues would be shared by all uses on site. Jose Acosta, Planning Coordinator, requested that the staff report be amended to clarify that all ordinances pertaining to the site plan approval and the special use permit for the previous car wash proposal were repealed and a new site plan approval is being requested. He also requested that the recommended condition # 619311 Plan Commission meeting minutes May 2, 2024 number two in the staff report for 2024-10P be removed as the previous site plan approval ordinance has already been repealed. Mr. Acosta explained that the size and location of the proposed car wash facility in related case 2024-12P as well as the site circulation are being modified. Southbound queuing for the carwash will be on the west side of the site along with the 14 vacuum stations. He also explained that the proposal includes 3 employee parking spaces accessible from the central north-south driveway on Touhy Avenue. Case 2024-11P – Parking Determination: 3250 Touhy Avenue TM3250, LLC, requests a parking determination for a car wash at 3250 Touhy Avenue. Jose Acosta requested the staff report be accepted into the record as written. Mr. Acosta explained that staff determined that the parking requirement for the site be 3 spaces. In a previous parking determination case where an automatic conveyor carwash was proposed, it was recommended that the requirement be 1 parking space per 1.5 employees at peak hours. Per Nappa’s Operation Plan, there will be up to 4 employees at peak hours, triggering the 3-space parking requirement. Mr. Acosta explained that with the 3 parking spaces provided, plus the additional 14 vacuum stations including an ADA accessible space, the parking requirement for the site and the proposed use is met. Case 2024-12P – Special Use Permit: 3250 Touhy Avenue TM3250, LLC requests a special use permit for a car wash in a B3 Business zoning district, plus relief from §82-28(b)(1)a. to allow an east wall sign and a west wall sign in addition to the allowable south wall sign, and any other relief that may be discovered during the review of this case. PIN: 10-26-401-090-0000 Jose Acosta, Planning Coordinator, explained that the proposal promises to reduce the amount of impermeable surface on site and provides a viable commercial use to a location that has remained vacant for at least 30 years. The levels of traffic on the central north-south driveway from the self-storage facility and the bank uses is relatively low, so the impact from cars at the vacuum station and car wash queuing lanes will be minimal. Mr. Acosta also mentioned that the site will provide additional landscaping and screening for the parking lot and provides 9 waste receptacles within the vacuum station. Commissioner Scott Berman questioned whether staff determined that the width of the driveways would be adequate to support the traffic circulation. Jose Acosta stated that the two driveways to enter the queuing lanes and the exit the vacuum area were determined to be adequate, with both driveways being about 17 feet each and each one only serving and entrance and exit to the carwash respectively. # 619311 Plan Commission meeting minutes May 2, 2024 Commissioner Scott Berman asked if the Appearance Commission approved the signage. Jose Acosta responded by saying that the signage was previously approved, but more recent building elevations plans only show the south elevation with signage, which is permitted by code. If the petitioner were to add more signage onto any elevations, plans would need to be reviewed once more by the Appearance Commission. Commissioner Scott Berman asked staff if Chicago residents to the south of the site were also notified about the case. Mike Voitik clarified that notices were sent out to all properties within 250 feet of the site, including Chicago residents and businesses. Commissioner Scott Berman stated that the staff reports mention that the Appearance Commission reviewed and approved the case in 2023 and asked if any signage was approved. Jose Acosta clarified that the signage at the time was approved, but the petitioner has since updated signage which only shows one sign on the south elevation of the building which is permissible in our code. If the petitioners were to add any additional signage to the other building elevations, they would need to provided another certificate of appropriateness by the Appearance Commission. Vice-Chair Jeff Burman requested that there be trash receptacles at every vacuum station for site maintenance as the use proposes to produce large amount of waste, similarly to previous car wash facilities. Commissioner Minchella asked if there was a traffic study done for the area as the driveway at Touhy Avenue currently serving the bank can be difficult to use as traffic on Touhy Avenue is typically very aggressive. Jose Acosta shared that he is not sure if a traffic study was done recently, but that when the previous car wash development came in for review in 2018, they did provide a traffic study and found that the site was not going to cause significant congestions. Commissioner Scott Berman requested that a condition be added that the case needs to be reviewed by the Appearance Commission once more to approve any signage. The Commissioners had a discussion regarding the Appearance Commission review process and whether or not a condition for signage to be approved by the Appearance Commission would be necessary. The Commissioners and staff # 619311 Plan Commission meeting minutes May 2, 2024 determined that a condition would not be necessary, as the Appearance Commission would be required to review the case if any changes were made to the signage or building elevations. Chair Paul Luke opened up the opportunity for public comment. Aqueel Ahmed, owner of Nappa Car Wash, clarified that notices were sent out to Chicago neighbors within 250 ft of the site. Aqueel also mentioned that a traffic study was done and showed that the plans were approved. Chair Paul Luke asked Aqueel Ahmed how many employees the business will have. Aqueel Ahmed answered that there will be 4 employees during peak hours, but typically there will be around 2-3 employees at a time. Aqueel also addressed concerns about noise levels and he referenced another location he owns in Chicago where the vacuums and blowers were fabricated to isolate the noise to address noise concerns from surrounding residents, they plan to do the same at this location. Jameel Ahmed returned to the podium to mention that there is a monument sign on Touhy Avenue that will be updated. Commissioner Scott Berman once again mentioned that he would like for the Appearance Commission to review the case again and would like to make it a condition for approval. Tyler Kobylski, Assistant Corporation Counsel, mentioned that it cannot be made a condition as they are separate entities. Johanna Nyden, Community Development Director, clarified that it is unnecessary to make that a condition as this case moves forward to the Board of Trustees, staff will verify that the proposal is in compliance with all of the Village Code. Commissioner Scott Berman shared that he believes that this proposal is an “overuse” of the site and has concerns about congestion from all of the three uses on the site, but is voting for approval because the site has been underserved and unutilized for quite some time.

(IV) CASE DESCRIPTIONS Case 2024-03P – Special Use Permit: 8229 Christina Avenue Jose Rafael Munoz Olivares requests a special use permit for an automotive repair facility in a M3 Industrial zoning district and any relief discovered during the review of this case. PIN: 10-23-408-011-0000 Jose Rafael Munoz Olivares, business and property owner, presented the case. He is a mechanic by trade renting space in garages to practice his craft. After 15-16 years he now wants to open his own shop. There will be 2 service bays with 2 lifts where he and another employee will provide mechanical services only; no body work # 618594 Plan Commission meeting minutes April 4, 2024 or painting. The shop, Rafa’s Auto Repair, will be open Monday through Saturday from 7am to 6pm. Staff requested the report to be accepted into the record as written striking recommended Special Use Condition #1 a. through d. as revised drawings were submitted after this report was written which addressed staff’s comments. This industrial-zoned area does allow tandem parking; therefore, the parking requirement of 7 spaces is met which includes the 3 parking spaces in the Christiana Avenue right-of-way with a handicap accessible space located in the rear. The back door needs to be modified to be ADA compliant. There are 4 other auto repair shops on this block and there is no history of complaints. Everything is contained on the property as it should be. The petitioner was agreeable with the staff report recommendations and had nothing further to add. Case 2024-04P – Special Use Permit: 8014 Lincoln Avenue MDG 8000 North Lincoln Owner LLC, on behalf of Thomas H. Griseta, requests a special use permit for a co-working office in a CX Core Mixed-Use district and any relief discovered during the review of this case. PINs: 10-21-413-014-0000, 10-21-413-025-0000, 10-21-413-026-0000, 10-21-413- 030-0000, 10-21-413-036-0000, and 10-21-413-037-0000. Tom Griseta, on behalf of MDG 8000 North Owner, LLC, presented the case. He is proposing a special use permit to open a Skokie location for an Enclave co-working office. All sites are situated in suburban downtowns allowing members who want to work close to home in office settings instead of commuting to a downtown high-rise. Most members walk or bike to the Enclave offices in the towns they live in. There will be no cooking or food prep, nothing with hazardous materials, and no changes to the sidewalks or streets. They provide access 24/7 to accommodate those who deal with businesses overseas. There are now locations open in Wilmette and Evanston. Mr. Griseta spoke of the 3 monthly or yearly membership plans: Co-working Flex – access to the lounge, phone room, conference room and coffee bar; Office Flex + reserved desk – same amenities as Co-working Flex but with the use of a shared desk; and Private Office – a dedicated office with a key where a member can bring in their own belongings. Commissioner Berman asked about bringing in guests and used real estate closings as an example. Mr. Griseta stated that 2 guests are allowed at a time for each member but when there will be more, a request should be made first and put on a calendar. # 618594 Plan Commission meeting minutes April 4, 2024 Commissioner Minchella inquired about staffing and trash. Mr. Griseta said that it will not be a dedicated staff at each location but as part of the lease, staff does circle around to each location to take care of stocking supplies and trash collection. Usually only a few bags of trash are generated each week. Mike Voitik, Associate Planner, requested the report be accepted into the record as written. The business will offer 11 offices and a conference room. Shared bathrooms will be located in a common hallway. He reminded the commission of the text amendment case (2023-30P) allowing co-working as a special use on retail streets in mixed-use districts which was approved by the Village Board earlier this year. The use will bring activity to downtown just as retail does. Mr. Voitik wished to amend recommended Special Use Condition #1. (a through c) to read that prior to building permit approval, the Fire Dept. should review the revised partition plan. When asked, Mr. Griseta had no issues with the staff report and added that there will be 2 floors of parking in the building for their use. Case 2024-01P – Special Use Permit: 4022 Main Street MSP II LLC – Series B, on behalf of Kristina Perez Thomas, requests a special use permit in a B1 Service Commercial zoning district for a limited service restaurant for Soul Good Coffee at 4022 Main Street, resulting in a parking deficit of 15 parking spaces, the amount by which the requirements for the new use exceed the previous use, as required by Sections 118-201(3) and 118-218(4) of the Skokie Village Code, and any other relief discovered during the review of this case. Case 2024-02P – Special Use Permit: 4022 Main Street MSP II LLC – Series B, on behalf of Kristina Perez Thomas, requests a special use permit in a B1 zoning district for outdoor dining at Soul Good Coffee at 4022 Main Street, and any relief discovered during the review of this case. PIN: 10-22-408-011-0000 As these 2 cases are related, they were discussed together but voted on separately. Commissioner Crohn-Minchella recused herself and left Council Chambers as Soul Good Coffee is a client of hers. A quorum still was intact. Kristina Perez Thomas, business owner, and Kathryn McRay, architect from MADlab presented their cases. Currently, Soul Good Coffee operates out of a mobile coffee trailer. They are proposing to open a limited service coffee shop at the corner of Main Street and Keystone Avenue. They will occupy a vacant space on the west side of a commercial building to include outdoor dining directly adjacent to the shop. They will have seating for 50 inside and 20 seats available for outdoor dining. They will have a staff of 9-15 with 3-4 at any one time. Hours of operation will be from 7am # 618594 Plan Commission meeting minutes April 4, 2024 to 4pm Monday through Sunday serving mostly expresso drinks, hot chocolate and lemonade. As they do not have a full kitchen, they partner with bakeries and restaurants to offer a rotating variety of snacks and pastries. Most of their customers will be walk-up or grab and go but they do expect a higher volume once the warmer weather is here. There will be lighting for the outdoor area but no music. Commissioner Scott Berman asked why only 20 seats on the patio. Ms. Thomas stated that she wanted to have enough room to accommodate strollers or bikes and have room for kids to color on the sidewalk. Mr. Berman commented that parking is plentiful with 90-minute parking on Main St and Keystone Avenue adjacent to the site. Chairman Luke asked about how they would define the outdoor dining area. Ms. McRay stated that they will set up planters along Keystone as a barrier between the patio and the 3 shared parking spaces at the rear. Jose Acosta, Planning Coordinator, requested the staff reports be entered into the record as written. He recognized Soul Good Coffee as the winner of the 2023 Business of the Year and commented on their commitment to give-back and support non-profit organizations and the partnerships with other businesses in the community. He explained the need for parking relief. The building was constructed in 1955 with 12 parking spaces shared between tenants. At the time, 12 spaces were adequate for 3 tenants. By today’s standards, the Village Code has increased requirements to 22 spaces. The Zoning Code does allow relief to be granted for new businesses that are going into older buildings that do not have the proper layout to accommodate the increase. Therefore, a request for a parking deficit of 15 spaces is needed; the difference between the previous use (7 spaces) and the new use at this location (22 spaces). Vice-Chair Jeff Burman inquired about trash receptacles for the outdoor dining area and the 4-hour rule. Mr. Acosta directed him to Standard Special Use Condition #3. When asked by Chairman Luke, the petitioners had no comments to add.

Respectfully submitted, Marlene Bargamian Administrative Assistant # 618594 Plan Commission meeting minutes April 4, 2024 STAFF REPORT 2024-05P: Zoning Map Amendment Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, May 2, 2024 To: Paul Luke, Chairman, Skokie Plan Commission From: Mike Voitik, Planning Technician Re: 2024-05P: Zoning Map Amendment 9239 Gross Point Road Related Cases – 2024-06P: Subdivision 2024-07P: Site Plan Approval 2024-08P: Special Use Permit 2024-09P: Special Use Permit General Information Location 9239 Gross Point Road Purpose To amend the zoning map to change the zoning district for 9239 Gross Point Road from B1 Service Commercial to B3 Business. Petitioner Waterway Gas & Wash Company, a Missouri Corporation Size of Site 15,052 square feet (0.346 acres) with frontage on Gross Point Road Existing Zoning & B1 Service Commercial – vacant multi-tenant office building Land Use Adjacent Zoning & North B1 Service Commercial – 3-or more unit multifamily Land Use residences South B3 Business – car wash, automotive fuel station East B3 Business – grocery store, car wash, automotive fuel station West R5 Elderly and Disabled Housing – elderly and disabled housing B1 Service Commercial – 3-or more unit multifamily residences Comprehensive Plan The site is designated as retail/service employment. PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL The petitioner is requesting to change the zoning district for 9239 Gross Point Road from B1 Service Commercial to B3 Business. The petitioner is rezoning the subject site in conjunction with requests for a 1-lot subdivision (case 2024-05P), site plan approval 2024-05P_-_Zoning_Map_Amendment__9239_Gross_Point_Road 1 of 4 (case 2024-06P), special use permit for a car wash (case 2024-07P), and special use permit for an automotive fuel station in order to expand the existing Waterway Gas & Wash business onto the subject site. STAFF ANALYSIS Comments All pertinent departments and divisions were offered an opportunity to comment on this case. Other than the Planning Division comments below, all others did not respond or approved the request without comment. Planning Division The Planning Division has reviewed the submitted material and supports the petitioner’s request. The map amendment is necessary to bring the entire site into one zoning classification. Additionally, car washes are not a permitted use under the existing B1 zoning classification. The existing Waterway site, located at 9208 Skokie Boulevard, was rezoned from B1 to B3 in 2017 (case 2017-52P). As determined in the 2017 case, B3 Business is an appropriate zone for the site, as it is designed to accommodate a larger consumer population than that provided for in the B1 and B2 districts. The B3 district is intended for areas that do not directly abut properties in the R1, R2, and R3 districts, which is the case in this instance. The request to rezone to B3 Business is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s retail/service employment designation for the subject site. Per Chapter 8 – Land Use, the retail/service employment land use group “includes employment producing area that include sales of merchandise in varying intensities and most service activities.” As of 1946 the subject site was zoned (formerly “A” Single Family). Sometime between 1952 and 1956 the entire property was rezoned to B-1 Neighborhood Shopping (now B1 Service Commercial). The existing Gross Point Office Plaza building was constructed on the site in 1978. Review of historic aerial photography indicates that another building was present at the site between the 1950’s and the 1970’s, however the use of the site during that period is unknown. Current surrounding uses are listed in the general information at the beginning of this report. Aside from the existing office building and the 7-Eleven at 4834 Church Street, the other properties within this block have been redeveloped over the past 8 years. No properties facing this block, however, have experienced any redevelopment over the past 25 years. Most new commercial construction in the immediate area has occurred further north of the subject site, north of the intersection of Skokie Boulevard and Gross Point Road. 2024-05P_-_Zoning_Map_Amendment__9239_Gross_Point_Road 2 of 4 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request to amend the zoning map to change the zoning district for 9239 Gross Point Road from B1 Service Commercial to B3 Business be APPROVED, subject to the attached Proposed Positive Findings of Fact.

STAFF REPORT 2024-06P: Subdivision Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, May 2, 2024 To: Paul Luke, Chairman, Skokie Plan Commission From: Mike Voitik, Planning Technician Re: 2024-06P: Subdivision 9208 Skokie Boulevard and 9239 Gross Point Road Related Cases – 2024-05P: Zoning Map Amendment 2024-07P: Site Plan Approval 2024-08P: Special Use Permit 2024-09P: Special Use Permit General Information Location 9208 Skokie Boulevard and 9239 Gross Point Road Purpose To resubdivide 19 existing lots into 1 new lot with a 3.00-foot- wide right-of-way dedication along Church Street and a 5.00- foot-wide right-of-way dedication along Gross Point Road, and any relief that may be discovered during the review of this case. Petitioner Waterway Gas & Wash Company, a Missouri Corporation Size of Site 81,824 square feet (1.878 acres) with frontage on Skokie Boulevard, Church Street, and Gross Point Road Existing Zoning & B3 Business – car wash, automotive fuel station, vacant multi- Land Use tenant office building Adjacent Zoning & North B3 Business – grocery store Land Use South B1 Service Commercial – drug store B2 Commercial – dental clinic East R4 Multifamily Housing - 3-or more unit multifamily residence B2 Commercial – dental clinics West R5 Elderly and Disabled Housing – housing for the elderly and disabled B1 Service Commercial – convenience store B2 Commercial – public recreation facility Comprehensive Plan The site is designated as retail/service employment. 2024-06P_-_Subdivision__9208_Skokie_Boulevard_and_9239_Gross_Point_Road 1 of 4 SITE INFORMATION • The site contains a car wash, an automotive fuel station, and a vacant multi-tenant office building. • The 9208 Skokie Boulevard site is accessible from driveways at Skokie Boulevard and Gross Point Road. • The 9239 Gross Point Road site is accessible from driveways at Gross Point Road. • Overhead utilities run in a north-south direction between the existing property boundaries of 9208 Skokie Boulevard and 9239 Gross Point Road. Complete Streets  Public sidewalks are present along Skokie Boulevard, Church Street, and Gross Point Road. The public sidewalk along north side of Church Street adjacent to the subject site has been widened to function as a multi-use path.  A bike route runs along Gross Point Road, with plans to become a long-term bike lane.  Bike lanes will be provided in the near future along Church Street between Skokie’s east and west boundaries, with multi-use paths likely between Niles Center Road to the east and Lawler Avenue to the west, which includes a multi- use path adjacent to the subject site.  Bicycle parking is not currently available at the subject site.  The site is directly served by the CTA 54A North Cicero/Skokie Blvd., CTA 97 Skokie, and Pace 208 Golf Road buses.  The Dempster-Skokie CTA Station is ¾-mile away to the southwest of the site.  The site is within walking distance of residential neighborhoods, services, a park and a public recreation facility.  Pedestrian access to subject site is available from Skokie Boulevard, Church Street, and Gross Point Road PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL The petitioner is requesting to resubdivide 19 existing lots into 1 new lot at 9208 Skokie Boulevard and 9239 Gross Point Road in a B3 Business district. The existing office building at 9239 Gross Point Road will be demolished. The 9239 Gross Point Road property will be combined with the 9208 Skokie Boulevard property in order to allow for the expansion of the operations of the existing Waterway Car Wash. 2024-06P_-_Subdivision__9208_Skokie_Boulevard_and_9239_Gross_Point_Road 2 of 4 The subdivision will include two dedications for right-of-way. A 3.00-foot-wide right-of- way dedication is being requested along Church Street in order to place the multi-use path that was constructed in 2021 entirely within the right-of-way. The path was a condition of the original site plan approval for Waterway (case 2017-55P). A 5.00-foot- wide right-of-way dedication along Gross Point Road is also being requested in order to reserve additional space to widen the existing public sidewalk at some point in the future. STAFF ANALYSIS Comments All pertinent departments and divisions were offered an opportunity to comment on this case. Other than the Planning Division comments below, all others did not respond or approved the request without comment. Planning Division The Planning Division supports the proposed subdivision. The subdivision will meet all requirements of the Village Code and Map Data Policy. The subdivision is necessary because the existing property spans multiple subdivisions and Cook County does not allow tax parcels in separate subdivisions to be combined through the simple PIN consolidation process. The existing public sidewalk along Gross Point Road is not separated from the street by a parkway and is also partially obstructed in some areas by fire hydrants and street light poles. Section 118-187 of the Village Code requires that the effective walkway width of a sidewalk shall at all times be at least 5 feet wide. The 5-foot dedication of right-of-way will reserve right-of-way in order to enable the public sidewalk to be expanded further to the east so that light poles and fire hydrants can be shifted away from the street in the future, creating a wider and safer public sidewalk. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request to resubdivide 19 existing lots into 1 new lot at 9208 Skokie Boulevard and 9239 Gross Point Road, with a 3-foot-wide right- of-way dedication along Church Street and a 5-foot-wide right-of-way dedication along Gross Point Road, in a B3 Business district be APPROVED subject to the conditions listed below. RECOMMENDED SUBDIVISION CONDITIONS 1. Upon the passage of the ordinance by the Board of Trustees, the Mylar of the Waterway Gas and Wash Resubdivision must be submitted to the Village with all signatures other than Village staff or elected officials. 2024-06P_-_Subdivision__9208_Skokie_Boulevard_and_9239_Gross_Point_Road 3 of 4 2. The Waterway Gas and Wash Resubdivision shall be effective upon its recording by the Village in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds of Cook County, Illinois. 3.

PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL The petitioner is requesting to amend an existing site plan approval for a 1-lot planned development at 9208 Skokie Boulevard that includes an automotive fuel station, convenience store, car wash, surface parking, and storm water detention in order to modify the site plan to allow for the expansion of the car wash use onto the 9239 Gross Point Road property. 2024-07P_-_Site_Plan_Approval__9208_Skokie_Boulevard_and_9239_Gross_Point_Road 2 of 10 With regards to expansion proposal, the petitioner explains that: Waterway Gas & Wash is looking to invest in our [9208 Skokie Boulevard] location to better serve the community and our customers. We are acquiring an adjacent property to expand our customer vacuum footprint. This addition will allow us to offer free vacuums to those who wish to take advantage [of that service]. The expansion will allow for an “everybody ride through” on our conveyor, allowing those to move more freely through the site and into the desired full serve or self-serve spaces. As part of this change, we are shifting some of our on-site parking, and creating a more efficient traffic flow through the site to better increase customer experience. We will offer 9 full serve [vacuum] locations at the exit of the car wash. [Fourteen] free vacuum spaces will be added in the expansion. We will also have a total of 31 employee and customer parking spots and 2 ADA spots. We have made similar changes to multiple sites in various markets with resounding results with our overall customer experience. … Waterway would expect no negative impact on the neighborhood, [as] this is simply an extension of the existing car wash use. There would be no expected impact on the property values, traffic conditions, utilities, health, safety, morals, or general welfare of the community. As an expansion of an existing use, this will have only [a] positive impact on the surrounding area. The proposed expansion removes a dated office building, replaces chopped up asphalt, adds landscape coverage, and generates a safe, simple expansion of a business that has already made an impact on Skokie as a good neighbor. In addition to the relocation and expansion of the vacuum area, an additional right- in/right-out-only driveway will be constructed at Gross Point Road toward the north end of the subject site in order to improve ingress and egress access to and from the subject site. A new driveway opening to the west of the fuel pumps will provide a second point of access between the automotive fueling station and Gross Point Road, reducing the concentration of vehicular movement within the east-west driveway north of the car wash building. An enclosed area that will contain the mechanical equipment for the vacuums will be constructed to the north of the expanded parking lot. STAFF ANALYSIS Comments All pertinent departments and divisions were offered an opportunity to comment on this case. Staff comments on the subject case were received from the Fire Prevention Bureau and the Forestry and Planning Services divisions. All other departments did not respond or approved the request without comment. Fire Prevention Bureau The Fire Prevention Bureau is supportive of the request but asks that all plans be revised to state the existing uses within the subject site on the Existing Conditions and Demolition Plan and state the proposed uses on all other plans. Forestry Division Forestry Division staff requests that the diversity of the tree species within the subject site be increased by: 2024-07P_-_Site_Plan_Approval__9208_Skokie_Boulevard_and_9239_Gross_Point_Road 3 of 10 • Replacing 2 of the proposed gingko trees with two upright oaks, such as a high-branched Regal Prince or similar cultivar. • Replacing 3 of the proposed Accolade elms with native shade trees, such as hackberry, Kentucky coffeetree, or catalpa. In addition to diversifying the tree plantings, Forestry staff requests that more native plantings be utilized within the area of expansion and that the usage of sod be minimalized. Two additional shade trees (such as hackberry, Kentucky coffeetree, catalpa, or swamp white oak) are to be planted to the north and south of the new driveway lanes at Gross Point Road. Both trees are to be planted outside of the required 25’ sight distance triangle, as per §118-52 of the Village Code. Furthermore, the concrete-paved surface within the proposed island between the new inbound and outbound driveways at Gross Point Road must be replaced with a variety of low-growing plantings and mulch in order to maximize the permeable surface on the subject site. Planning Services Division The Planning Services Division is supportive of the proposed site plan approval request. The expansion of the existing Waterway car wash facility will provide customers with the new option of being able to vacuum and detail their own vehicles. The additional driveway at Gross Point Road will improve the distribution of traffic movement within the subject site. Per the initial site plan approval request for Waterway in 2017 (case 2017-54P), Planning staff requested that the petitioner install required bicycle parking and a bike “fix-it” station on a pad within an area south of the vehicle entrance to the car wash adjacent to the north-south sidewalk perpendicular to the Church Street public sidewalk. While the petitioner subsequently widened the sidewalk along the north side of Church Street and poured the concrete pad, the bicycle parking spaces and “fix-it” station were never installed. Staff requests that this work be completed prior to the issuance of any building permits. The Engineering Plans and the Landscape Plan must be revised to label the location of the bicycle parking spaces and “fix-it” station. Both plans must also be updated to depict the placement of several trash receptacles available for customer use within the area containing the 14 self-serve vacuum spaces. The plans must also be revised to reflect the 5.00-foot-wide dedication along the full extent of Gross Point Road adjacent to the subject site, as shown on the Waterway Gas and Wash Resubdivision plat (case 2024-06P). Ordinance #18-7-Z-4397, which granted the initial site plan approval for Waterway Gas and Wash, will be repealed, and all relevant conditions will be carried forward in the new ordinance. APPEARANCE COMMISSION 2024-07P_-_Site_Plan_Approval__9208_Skokie_Boulevard_and_9239_Gross_Point_Road 4 of 10 Appearance Commission review is not required. No modifications are being made to the building or signage at the subject site. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request to amend an existing site plan approval for a 1-lot planned development at 9208 Skokie Boulevard that includes an automotive fuel station, convenience store, car wash, surface parking, and storm water detention in order to modify the site plan to allow for the expansion of the car wash use onto the 9239 Gross Point Road property, in a B3 Business district be APPROVED, based upon the Proposed Positive Findings of Fact and subject to the conditions listed below, and that the current site plan approval V.O. #18-7-Z-4397 be repealed.

STAFF REPORT 2024-10P: Site Plan Approval Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, May 2, 2024 To: Paul Luke, Chairman, Skokie Plan Commission From: Jose Acosta, Planning Coordinator Re: 2024-10P: Site Plan Approval 3200, 3220, and 3250 Touhy Avenue Related Cases – 2024-11P: Parking Determination 2024-12P: Special Use Permit – Car Wash General Information Location 3200, 3220, and 3250 Touhy Avenue Purpose To attain site plan approval to modify an existing site plan approval for a 3-lot planned development to add a car wash at 3250 Touhy Avenue in a B3 Business and an M2 Light Industry zoning district and any relief that may be discovered during the review of this case. Petitioner Aqueel Ahmed, on behalf of TM3250 LLC Size of Site 193,190 ft2, with 265’ of frontage on Touhy Avenue and 700’ of frontage on Kedzie Avenue Existing Zoning & M2 Light Industry – self-storage facility Land Use B2 Commercial – bank with drive-through and second story offices, vacant undeveloped land Adjacent Zoning & North M3 Industry – landscaping company, welding supply Land Use business South Village of Lincolnwood – vacant open space East RS-2 Residential (City of Chicago) – detached residences RS-3 Residential (City of Chicago) – 3- or more unit multifamily residences B1-1 Business (City of Chicago) – convenience store, cleaners, limited service restaurant West M3 Industry – North Shore Channel, multiuse path Comprehensive Plan The site is designated as retail/service employment. VOSDOCS-#618930-v1-2024-10P_Site_Plan_Approval_3250_Touhy 1 of 7 SITE INFORMATION • Overhead utilities are present in the Kedzie Avenue parkway to the east of the subject site. • A right in, right out driveway provides access at Touhy Avenue and 4 driveways provide access at Kedzie Avenue. • All three lots are subject to easements for pedestrian and vehicular ingress and egress, vehicular parking and utilities per the third amended and restated declaration of mutual easement and restrictions (Document number 1901806039). • 10-foot-wide easement runs along the west and south end of the subject site provides access to Northern Illinois Gas Co. for utilities and drainage. Complete Streets • Public sidewalks are present along Touhy Avenue and Kedzie Avenue. • The site is served by the CTA’s 96 bus route and the Pace 290 Touhy Avenue bus. • The Northshore Valley Trail is located about 300 ft West of the subject site. • Subject site is within walking distance of residential neighborhoods, services, shopping centers and schools. PETITIONERS’ SUBMITTAL The petitioners are requesting site plan approval to modify the existing site plan approval in case 2015-6P and previously repealed case 2018-37P for a 3-lot planned development to add a car wash at 3250 Touhy Avenue in a B3 Business (subject to case 2024-12P) and an M2 Light Industry zoning district and any relief that may be discovered during the review of this case. The current approved site plan had a generic building pad at the location of the proposed car wash facility in case 2024-12P. The size and location of the proposed building as well as the site circulation are being modified. Southbound queuing for the car wash will be on the west side of the site along with the 14 vacuum stations. The 3 employee parking spaces will be off the central north-south driveway. STAFF ANALYSIS All pertinent departments and divisions were offered an opportunity to comment on this case. Most of the comments about this set of cases are specific to the special use permit in case 2024-12P. Staff is supportive of the proposed site plan modifications. The project reduces the amount of impermeable surface that is on the overall site and provides a viable VOSDOCS-#618930-v1-2024-10P_Site_Plan_Approval_3250_Touhy 2 of 7 commercial use on a portion of the site that has remained vacant for at least 30 years. The level of traffic on the central north-south driveway from the self-storage and bank uses is relatively low, so the impact from the cars at the vacuum stations and car wash will be minimal. The site will have dense landscaping and provide the parking lot screening that has been previously absent. The current bus stop on Touhy that serves this site is located in front of Byline Bank. The Engineering Division has concluded that the overall site provides adequate parking and meets the number of required parking. Vehicle stacking is adequate for the site. All the relevant comments from the previous site plan approval are in the Staff recommended conditions. No Sign Package was submitted for review. APPEARANCE COMMISSION The Appearance Commission awarded a Certificate of Appropriateness and approved Building Elevations in Case 2023-29A at the September 13, 2023 meeting. No signage was presented at the time as part of case 2023-29A, if the petitioner intends to add signage, the Appearance Commission will need to review the case again. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the petitioners’ request to modify an existing site plan approval for a 3-lot planned development to add a car wash at 3250 Touhy Avenue in a B3 Business and an M2 Light Industry zoning district be APPROVED based upon the Proposed Positive Findings of Fact and subject to the recommended site plan approval conditions listed below.

STAFF REPORT 2024-11P: Parking Determination Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, May 2, 2024 To: Paul Luke, Chairman, Skokie Plan Commission From: Jose Acosta, Planning Coordinator Case: 2024-11P: Parking Determination Nappa Car Wash, 3250 Touhy Avenue Related Cases: 2024-10P – Site Plan Approval 2024-12P – Special Use Permit General Information Petitioner Aqueel Ahmed, on behalf of TM3250 LLC Purpose A parking determination for a car wash at 3250 Touhy Avenue. STAFF ANALYSIS TM3250 LLC, intends to operate a Nappa car wash in a proposed building at 3250 Touhy Avenue. Off-street parking requirements for car wash facilities are determined by the Plan Commission. Staff has reviewed submitted plans, similar developments in Skokie, and the petitioner’s Statement Regarding Hours of Operation, Peak Times, Man Hours & Staff Parking Needs to determine the minimum amount of parking spaces to be required. The proposed car wash will have an automatic conveyor and no detailing services. The customers stay in their car the entire time and may choose to vacuum their car themselves for no additional charge. In a previous parking determination case where an automatic conveyor car wash was proposed, it was recommended 1 parking space per 1.5 employees at peak. The operations summary states that there will be 4 employees within peak periods. Per the KLOA parking evaluation, the site provides sufficient parking to accommodate the parking demand of the car wash. This parking supply is consistent with other similar car washes in Skokie and exceeds the typical requirement of one parking space per 1.5 employees. Approximately three parking spaces are required and three employee parking spaces are provided. There are 14 vacuum stalls that may be used as parking for the site if needed, which includes the ADA accessible parking space required for the proposal. The business type does not warrant for customers to spend large amounts of time on site, so the 14 additional vacuum stalls can serve as parking for the car wash as well. Bicycle parking is also provided on site, with two 2’ X 6’ bike racks accessible from the central north-south driveway on Touhy Avenue. VOSDOCS-#618913-v1-2024-11P_Parking_Determination_3250_Touhy 1 of 2 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the Plan Commission determine the off-street parking requirement for the Nappa car wash at 3250 Touhy Avenue is 3 parking spaces as long as the use is operated in compliance with the special use permit in case 2024-12P. This determination is not transferrable to another cash wash operator.

VOSDOCS-#618926-v1-2024-12P_Special_Use_Permit_3250_Touhy 2 of 7 The car wash process will begin with pre-wash to remove the loose dirt and debris from the vehicle. The car is then guided through the series of cleaning stations where various mechanisms and tools are used to clean different parts of the vehicle. After the cleaning process, high powered air blowers or dryers remove excess water from the vehicle surface, minimizing the need for manual drying. Once the drying process is complete the customers exit the car wash tunnel and have an option to exit to either go to Touhy Ave. or Kedzie Ave. and if customer wish to do vacuum after the car wash can re-enter the facility and perform the self- vacuuming before leaving the facility. There will be 3 employees on a normal working day and four employees during peak periods. The employees will be managing the traffic, managing the vacuuming stations and the cars existing the facility. When the peak demand occurs, the following operational procedures will be implemented: • Increase the service rate of the tunnel to the maximum it can process. • Provide staff at critical locations within the circulation system during peak periods at the car wash to help direct and manage the flow of traffic through the site. Critical internal locations where staff will be located include at the pay stations and at the exit of the car wash. STAFF ANALYSIS Staff Comment and Review requests were sent to all pertinent departments and were received from Fire Prevention, Civil Engineering, Traffic Engineering and Planning. All other departments returned the requests with no comments regarding the subject case. Comments related to the overall development are included in site plan approval case 2024-10P, and comments that specifically impact this car wash case are included below. Fire Prevention The plans presented show a business that has limited access for emergency vehicles, having to turn North on Kedzie, West through the parking lot and then turning South. The building would require a Fire Alarm System - we ask that you acknowledge and include note of deferred submittal after the initial set of plans are submitted for permit. The two towers with the ladders for roof access may, in fact, put your total Square Footage over 5000SF which would also require a Fire Sprinkler System throughout. Provide further information on the area above the finished ceiling in the two towers, floor, wall, ceiling construction. Civil Engineering The Engineering Division would like to note that a request for a sewer permit determination from the MWRD sewer district may be required. This is due to the proposal’s additions to the existing storm/sanitary system in the combined sewer area. The Engineering Division also requests that the petitioners provide a comprehensive civil engineering site plan set (1:20 scale min), showing existing and proposed features VOSDOCS-#618926-v1-2024-12P_Special_Use_Permit_3250_Touhy 3 of 7 and improvements; provide typical site development plans, dimensioned and showing proposed elements. Other information included: 1. Existing conditions/grades and topography 2. Proposed grading plan of property (Spot grades, pavement slopes, TF & FF) 3. Stormwater Management Plan and Erosion Control Measures 4. Public Utility Connection Plan (Sewer & Water Service) 5. Details and Notes Traffic Engineering In addition to the comments in the site plan approval case for this site, the Engineering Division states that the overall site provides adequate parking. Per the KLOA Parking Evaluation, the site provides sufficient parking to accommodate the parking demand of the Car Wash. There will be up to four employees available on site during the peak operations of the car wash. This parking supply is consistent with other similar car washes in Skokie and exceeds the typical requirement of one parking space per 1.5 employees. Approximately three parking spaces are required and three employee parking spaces are provided. Planning The Comprehensive Plan of Skokie, Illinois has identified uses for 3200, 3220, and 3250 Touhy Avenue as retail/service employment in Sector E. The proposed use is consistent with the retail/service employment designation. The site is located within the B3 Business zoning district. The proposed car wash use is a special use in the B3 district. The 3200, 3220, and 3250 Touhy Avenue properties are intended to be governed under a site plan approval ordinance. However, in the winter of 2023, the existing site plan approval ordinance was repealed due to inactivity of the petitioner for the previous car wash proposal from 2018. Site plan approval was requested in case 2024-10P for 3200, 3220, and 3250 Touhy Avenue in conjunction the car wash request in addition to the special use permit request and a parking determination. The Plan Commission is tasked with making the final recommendation to the Board of Trustees on the following: • Off-street vehicle and bicycle parking requirements are determined by the Plan Commission for car washes. Bicycle parking shall be designed and located in compliance with §118-221 and §118-222 of the Zoning Ordinance. • The Plan Commission will determine the appropriate number and location of drying spaces (§118-92(c)(1)). APPEARANCE COMMISSION The Appearance Commission awarded a Certificate of Appropriateness for Case 2023- 29A at the September 13, 2023 meeting. No signage was presented at the time as part of case 2023-29A, if the petitioner intends to add signage, the Appearance Commission will need to review the case again.
