PUBLIC HEARING PZC 004-2026
Requests from the Village of Westmont for the properties at 6015 South Cass Avenue, 6101 South Cass
Avenue, and 1000 Beninford Lane, Westmont, Illinois, 60559, for the following:
1) Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment from General Commercial and Parks/Open Space to
Public/Semi Public;

District, the R-4 General Residential District, and the C-1 Commercial District to the P/I Public
and Institutional District;
3) Preliminary Plan of Subdivision to consolidate four (4) lots into one (1) lot;
4) Zoning Ordinance Variance to the maximum size, fuel type, and location of an Emergency
Generator;
5) Major Site Plan.
Presentation:
Tom Frank, Deputy Fire Chief, presented the requests. Frank explained how the project was developed,
3
how the consultants were selected, and engagement opportunities for the neighbors, public, and Village
Board to provide feedback. Virgil Viscuso, Fleet & Facilities Supervisor, explained the variances
requested for the emergency standby generator.
Staff Comment:
Scott Williams, Senior Planner, presented the staff report. Williams recommended including a condition
on the major site plan approval to allow staff to administratively make changes to the plan based on
recent Village Board direction.
Public Comment:
Wes Buege, Westmont resident, raised concerns about changes to the stormwater detention area. Frank
answered that the pond east of the station will be filled in, but will increase the volume of the other
detention areas to accommodate the change. Buege asked how the station would be financed.
Carmichael and Williams explained that the financing is outside of the scope of the Commission’s
purview. Frank briefly explained that sales tax would see a small increase, which was already approved
by the Village Board.
Ruben Romero, Westmont resident, asked about the proposed changes to the detention. Frank
explained the scope of the detention improvements.
Carmichael asked for clarification whether the detention improvements will affect the existing fencing.
Viscuso answered that the detention being filled will create a more usable yard for the neighbors.
Laurel Rugen, Westmont resident, asked if the south detention facility would be filled in. Frank and
Viscuso answered that the south facility would be deepened, and not be filled in, only the facility to the
east will be filled in.
Commissioner Comments:
Lynn:Lynn asked why diesel would be used for thegenerator. Viscuso explained that diesel is much
cheaper and would be available much quicker than a natural gas generator. Lynn and Viscuso discussed
the emissions, sound levels, frequency of generator testing, and setbacks from property lines.
Lynn asked if the Beninford subdivision has any covenants related to generators. Williams replied that he
is not aware of any.
Lynn questioned the ownership of the Fire Department. Williams and John Zemenak, Village Attorney,
confirmed that the Fire Department is part of the Village of Westmont. Lynn asked why the stormwater is
being consolidated with the Fire Department. Frank answered that the consolidation is per staff’s
direction and that the Fire Department uses these areas for training.
Lynn asked if the detention lots could be sold for development. Williams replied no, the detention will
remain.
Charleston:Charleston questioned including the Beninfordlot in the consolidation. Williams explained
the purposes of the detention areas, noting that the detention facing Beninford is connected to the
4
detention facing Cass Avenue.
Charleston asked how the existing generator serves the Fire Department. Viscuso explained that the
existing generator is fueled by natural gas, and could run in perpetuity, so long as natural gas is
available. Carmichael confirmed that the generator does not support the whole building.
Charleston raised concerns about the visual impacts of the generator. Jamie Zaura, 845 Design Group
(the Village’s consultant), explained that a variance for a taller fence would be required to fully screen the
generator. Frank added that landscaping will also help screen the generator.
Zemenak asked about the landscaping surrounding the generator, to which Williams clarified the
language. Williams added that the Public Works Department anticipates installing taller landscaping,
Zemenak added that can be placed as a condition of approval.
Simpson:Simpson asked about the decibel level ofthe existing natural gas generator. Viscuso
explained that it is much louder than the proposed diesel generator.
Simpson asked how the fencing near the fueling station would be affected. Zaura explained that the
Village will install a new 7 foot fence that would be placed on the east and north sides of the station.
Carmichael asked if the fueling station would remain. Frank replied yes.
Lynn asked about the emissions of a natural gas versus a diesel generator. Carmichael did not have a
concern with the emissions of the generator for testing and emergency purposes. Viscuso explained that
the police station at 500 North Cass Avenue has a diesel generator and they have not received
complaints about it. Frank explained why a diesel generator was chosen.
Donoghue:Donoghue asked if additional diesel fuelwill be stored on-site. Viscuso explained that the
fueling station regularly gets diesel delivered to it, and it can be easily transferred to the generator.
ThomasThomas asked what the target date for completionis. Frank replied by September 2027 if
everything goes according to plan.
Peterson:Secretary Peterson expressed support forthe design of the station, asking if the existing
pergola would be retained. Frank answered that a new pergola will be constructed, but they are
evaluating the possibility of reusing the existing one elsewhere.
Peterson asked why Cass Avenue is not already striped in front of the garage bays. Frank explained that
the right-of-way is under DuPage County’s jurisdiction, and they have not been supportive of striping the
road since it is far from a signalized intersection.
Peterson asked if a line would connect the diesel at the fueling station to the generator. Viscuso replied
no, but there is a large container attached to the generator.
Carmichael:Carmichael asked about the operationsof the emergency shelter. Zaura explained that
there will be one in the basement separate from the ground floor training room.
5
Carmichael asked if anything can be added to the fence to screen the generator. Megan Harte, 845
Design Group, explained that the landscaping around the generator could grow to 15 feet in height.
Zemenak and Williams discussed adding conditions to the site plan approval to allow for revisions prior
to Village Board approval for fencing to be consistent throughout the plans.

PUBLIC HEARING PZC 016-2025
Request from Compagno LLC (Petitioner), and 2 W Naperville Road, LLC (Owner), for the property at
306 North Cass Avenue, Westmont, Illinois, 60559, for the following:
1) Zoning Ordinance Map Amendment to rezone three (3) lots of the five (5) total parcels of the
subject property from R-3 Single-Unit Residential District to R-4 General Residential District so
that all parcels in the proposed development are uniformly zoned.
Staff Comment:
Scott Williams, Senior Planner, explained the purpose of the two public hearings being opened and
heard simultaneously, and discussed the map amendment request.
Presentation:
Michael Gatto, petitioner, presented the revisions made to the development in response to the
commission’s recommendations from the previous meeting, some of which provided the commissioners
with options.
Williams presented the revised staff report, discussing the revisions proposed by the petitioner, and
recommended conditions of approval.
Public Comment:
Rick Derer, owner of the neighboring property to the north, raised concerns about the visual impacts of
the proposed development on his property. Commissioner Simpson asked about his preference for
fencing along the shared property line. Derer responded solid. Williams explained the location of the solid
fence.

Page 4 of 83
Laurel Rugen, Westmont resident, voiced concerns about the height of the apartment building and
impacts on the intersection and neighboring properties.
Commissioner Comments:
Lynn: Commissioner Lynn recommended increasing the design of the balconies and windows to
enhance the east facade. John Zemenak, Village Attorney, explained that some leeway can be given to
approved site plans, as long as it does not substantially change the project.
Lynn and Gatto discussed the tile material and quality, retaining walls, the location of the front fence, and
the windows.
Simpson: Simpson recommended extending the solid fence on the north side of the property to match
the building line of the adjacent property. Carmichael invited Mr. Derer back to the podium to address
Simpson’s suggestion. Derer was in favor of extending the fence. Williams noted that the landscaping in
the plan may need to be adjusted.
Simpson was in favor of having landscaping along the front property line instead of a different fence
style. Secretary Peterson noted that in the winter, Cass Avenue gets salted frequently, which may
negatively impact landscaping at the front of the development. Williams explained that if landscaping is
placed there, staff can make sure the plants are salt-tolerant.
Simpson voiced concerns about not having visitor parking for delivery trucks. Gatto replied that even if
space was reserved for delivery trucks, they likely would not use it.
Simpson asked about the balcony railing options. Gatto explained that the east balconies are flush with
the building wall, giving a sense of screening, but a more solid railing could be used on the east facade.
Lynn said that he would prefer all railings to be the same.
Carmichael asked for a consensus on the balcony style. Williams summarized that the preference
appears to be for a uniform style, and that a condition does not need to be placed on the approval.
Thomas: Commissioner Thomas was in favor of cohesive design elements and extending the northern
solid fence.
Peterson: Peterson voiced support for the proposed development.
Carmichael: Carmichael asked if the units will have their own laundry units. Gatto replied yes.
Carmichael confirmed the north side of the building would informally be used as a loading zone. Gatto
replied yes, and that the property management team works to schedule tenant move-ins and move-outs.
Carmichael expressed support for the requests.
Simpson and Lynn recommended adding a condition that the underlayment of the balconies be obscured
from view. Williams added that if the condition is placed, it should include “if possible” in case it is not
feasible with the Village’s building codes. Zemenak explained how the site plan conditions would be
enforced. Williams listed the proposed site plan conditions.

into Chapter 95.
Public Comment:
None.
Commissioner Comments:
Lynn: Though not proposed to be changed, Lynn suggested revising the accessory dwelling unit (ADU)
regulations. Zemenak said that the public hearing for maintenance amendments may not be an
appropriate hearing to discuss substantive amendments to ADUs. Williams explained that staff can note
ADUs as a future stand-alone text amendment to allow time for staff deliberation.

Commissioner Comments:
Peterson: Secretary Peterson asked about the membership process and the security systems. Woodard
explained how members can join and the security technology.
Thomas: Commissioner Thomas expressed initial concerns about noise, but the petitioner’s presentation
answered them.
Donoghue: Commissioner Donoghue asked if Tee Box is a franchise. Woodward replied yes.
Simpson: Commissioner Simpson asked how the petitioner will be able to enforce the alcohol
prohibition. Woodward replied that they can use the cameras to see who brought in alcohol and possibly
terminate their membership.
Carmichael: Chair Carmichael asked if their expected customer demographics included children.
Woodard answered that they cater more to adults, but anticipate high school students being a driver of
their business.
Carmichael asked about the franchise’s involvement in security monitoring. Woodard replied that
primarily the operators are responsible for monitoring the facility, but Tee Box corporate office could also
view the systems.
Carmichael asked if equipment would be provided. Woodard answered that some golfing equipment will
be provided, but members would be expected to bring their own.
Carmichael inquired about allowed signage and if it affects the Special Use Permit request. Williams
explained that they are allowed signage, but the petitioner would need to come to an agreement with the
property owner before submitting for a permit, and that signage is outside of the Special Use Permit
request.

Request from 735 N Cass, LLC (Petitioner), and The Andrew C. Hoskins Trust and The Venouziou
Limited Partnership (as Owners), for the property at 735 North Cass Avenue, Westmont, Illinois, 60559,
for the following:
1) Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the property from the O/R Office/Research District to the M
Manufacturing District.
Presentation:
Carlo Rossi, petitioner, presented the request. Rossi clarified that the purpose of the request is to
improve the marketability of the property with limited exterior improvements.
Staff Comment:
Scott Williams, Senior Planner, presented the staff report.
Carmichael asked about the difference in allowed uses between the O/R and M districts. Williams
explained that the O/R district is much more limited in the types of the uses allowed than the M district.
Public Comment:
None.
Commissioner Comments:
Simpson: Simpson asked how the M district was selected. Rossi said that due to the configuration of the
building, a flexible or light industrial use is the most appropriate land use. Simpson expressed concern
with the allowed uses in the M district, asking if there are any prospective tenants interested in this
space. Rossi replied that there is not a specific tenant in mind, but would market the property to an
appropriate tenant.
Donoghue: Donoghue shared concerns about the allowed uses in the M district, but found it was
consistent with the zoning of surrounding properties.
Thomas: Thomas asked staff how they confirm a business is allowed in a zoning district. Williams
answered that staff receives inquiries from the business or property owner to determine compliance, or it
is reviewed when a business license is submitted. John Zemenak, Village Attorney, added that the
business registrations are required, which includes a zoning review, and have very few exceptions. Rossi
added that they tell potential tenants to contact the Village for zoning information.
Peterson: Peterson did not have objections to the map amendment request.
Carmichael: Carmichael, referencing the petitioner’s list of potential tenants, asked what they envisioned
with vehicle storage. Rossi explained that it could be for collectors’ vehicles. Carmichael expressed
concerns about the frequency of vehicles coming and going.

Page 12 of 83
Carmichael questioned the location of the fire sprinkler room. Rossi explained that tenants would not
typically have access to the room, but the Fire Department would.
Peterson asked if multiple tenants would be allowed in the subject property. Williams answered yes.
Williams added that if vehicle storage were to occur on-site, it would have to be fully indoors, unless a
Special Use Permit for outdoor storage was approved. Rossi added that outdoor vehicle storage is not a
land use they are interested in.
MOTION 1
Motion by Peterson to recommend to the Village Board of Trustees to approve a request from 735 N
Cass, LLC (Petitioner), and The Andrew C. Hoskins Trust and The Venouziou Limited Partnership (as
Owners), for the property at 735 North Cass Avenue, Westmont, Illinois, 60559, for a Zoning Map
Amendment to rezone the property from the O/R Office/Research District to the M Manufacturing
District.
Seconded by Donoghue.
DISCUSSION:
Simpson asked if it would be appropriate to list out uses that would not be preferred on the subject
property, listing a few examples. Zemenak responded that many of the uses listed require special use
approval, which gives the Village the opportunity to scrutinize it. Zemenak stated that map amendment
requests cannot limit uses, but other zoning approvals such as text amendments or planned unit
developments could. Williams added that the Planning & Zoning Commission and Village Board could
consider a less-intensive zoning district.
Carmichael posed the scenario of an existing property zoned M being occupied by a more intensive land
use allowed in the district. Simpson answered that the spread of properties being zoned M in the area is
more concerning. Williams and Zemenak responded that the Comprehensive Plan is not very specific on
the expansion of the M district.

VILLAGE OF WESTMONT
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
AGENDA ITEM
MEETING DATE: March 11, 2026 PZC 005-2026
TITLE: Request from Clovers Garden Center LLC, d/b/a Clovers Garden Center (Petitioner), and
Suburbanite Bowl, Inc., and Downers Grove National Trust 76-28 (Owners), for the
properties at 201 and 209 West Ogden Avenue, Westmont, Illinois, 60559, for the following:
1. Special Use Permit to operate an Outdoor Retail Sales business (seasonal outdoor
garden center) in the B-2 General Business District.
I. BACKGROUND OF ITEM
A. Location: 201 and 209 West Ogden Avenue are located in the southwest corner of Ogden Avenue
and Washington Street. 201 West Ogden is improved with a bowling alley and large parking lot,
while 209 West Ogden is improved with a parking lot directly west of the building. Together, the lots
are about 344 feet by 441 feet, for a total area of 151,704 square feet or 3.48 acres.

B. Zoning Designations:
SUBJECT PROPERTY B-2 General Business District
NORTH B-2 General Business District
SOUTH R-3 Single-Unit Residential District
EAST B-2 General Business &
R-3 Single-Unit Residential Districts
WEST B-2 General Business &
R-3 Single-Unit Residential Districts
C. Neighborhood Characteristics
Located on the Ogden Avenue corridor, the surrounding properties host a diverse mix of businesses. This
includes restaurants, retail, services, and auto dealerships. The commercial properties lining Ogden Avenue
serve as a buffer between the busy arterial road and the established single-family residential neighborhood
to the south. A majority of the lot is dedicated to Suburbanite Bowl, but the parking lot at 209 West Ogden
has been the seasonal home for Clovers’ operations for decades.

D. Previous Zoning Approvals
Clovers Garden Center has been operating in the parking lot at 209 West Ogden Avenue since the spring of
1999. A brief summary of the ordinances granting the zoning approvals are listed below:
● Ord. 99-29: Granted the petitioner the ability to operate for 3 years in two seasons. A spring
season from April 1st to July 31st and a fall season from September 20th to November 11th.
The operations were limited to a 60 foot by 120 foot area.
● Ord. 00-117: Amended Ord. 99-29 to allow for a larger garden center measuring 100 feet by
150 feet. It also amended the fall sales period to be from September 1st to November 1st for
the remainder of the approval period.
● Ord. 03-65: Granted a 3 year approval period for sales to occur in a 90 foot by 120 foot area.
One season from March 15th to August 15th, and a second season from September 1st to
November 3rd.
● Ord. 09-16: Another 3 year approval period for a 65 foot by 235 foot sales area. This
ordinance allowed for three seasons: March 15th to August 15th, September 1st to November
3rd, and November 20th to December 26th.
● Ord. 12-50: Increased approval period to 5 years. Two operating periods were allowed for
this approval, the first from March 15th to October 31st and a second for November 17th to
December 26th.
● Ord. 17-037: Renewed the Special Use Permit for another 5 year period, limiting operations
to be between March 15th and October 31st.
● Ord. 2021-147: Allowed for the Special Use Permit to be automatically renewed annually
instead of requesting re-approval every 5 years, and no time limitation on sales. However,
sales were explicitly restricted to occur only on 209 West Ogden Avenue in the same area as
it was allowed in previous years.
II. PETITIONER REQUEST:
The petitioner has requested a Special Use Permit to operate Clovers Garden Center, an outdoor
retails sales business, to sell plants, garden products, and seasonal decorations, in the B-2 General
Business District. Though there already is an existing approved Special Use Permit for Clovers, the
addition of a second greenhouse space and staging area triggers the requirement for a new Special
Use Permit to be requested (Ch. 95, Sec. 14.04(L)).
III. ZONING ANALYSIS
A. Zoning and Comprehensive Plan Designations
The current zoning of the property is B-2 General Business District, which is intended for
highway-oriented retail businesses and general business activity. The Comprehensive Plan
designates the future land use in this area as Corridor Commercial, which is a designation that
should see businesses that serve both the daily needs of Westmont residents and serve as a
destination for a larger market. Furthermore, the subject properties are located within the Ogden
Avenue subarea. A part of the Local Commercial Area, small retail businesses, such as Clovers,
should have minimal impacts on adjacent residences.
B. Entitlement Request
The petitioner has provided a project narrative and supporting documentation for the following
request, including the necessary responses to the Special Use Standards. Any corresponding
standards for entitlement approval consideration can be referenced in item V(B) below.
● Special Use Permit to operate an Outdoor Retail Sales business (seasonal outdoor
____________________________________________________________________________________
PZC 005-2026 Page 3 of 6
Page 17 of 83
garden center) in the B-2 General Business District
Chapter 95, Section 6.01 requires that all outdoor retail sales businesses obtain a Special Use
Permit in the B-2 District to assess impacts like parking, traffic, activities, operating hours, and the
site plan.
Existing Operations to be Continued
The petitioner describes the Clovers Garden Center business model as a seasonal outdoor retail
sales operation. Clovers sells plants, garden products, and seasonal decorations directly to
customers on-site, while also accepting orders placed online or over the phone.
Similar to previous seasons, the customer-facing retail activity will continue to take place in the area
adjacent to Ogden Avenue. This fenced-in area is approximately 65 feet by 235 feet, and includes a
greenhouse.
New Operations Requested to be Added
A new Special Use Permit is being requested to accommodate a second fenced-in work area,
measuring 60 feet wide by 120 feet deep, and accessed by a 12 foot gate on the east side. This
secondary area will be used for plant holding, protecting temperature-sensitive plants, staging of
online and phone orders, as well as larger special orders, and related preparation activities. The
area will include a 28 foot by 78 foot greenhouse, and will be enclosed by a six foot cyclone-style
fence. Both the greenhouse and the fence will be similar in design and construction type as the
greenhousing and fencing that has been used in previous years. The petitioner anticipates five to 12
employees on-site between both areas, with only employees having access to the secondary area.
In addition to being fenced-in, the petitioner anticipates using additional protective measures like
wheel stops, bumpers, and/or temporary barricades, as appropriate. Occasionally, special orders
may be fulfilled using local courier services, UPS or Amazon, or DoorDash, but not by freight trucks
or semi-trailers.
Consistent with the previous seasons, equipment will be present on-site from March 15th to
November 15th; however, the secondary space would not be installed until after Village Board
approval.
As shown in the submitted site plan, the secondary area will be located in the southwest corner of
the property, taking up approximately 20 parking spaces and one drive aisle. Four drive aisles will
still remain accessible to vehicles, which are also the ones closest to the bowling alley’s main
entrance.
Chapter 95, Section 9.02 mandates 2.5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet for both indoor
participant entertainment uses (bowling alley) and retail, including outdoor retail sales (Clovers). The
property has approximately 186 parking spaces in total. However, the proposed seasonal outdoor
retail expansion and existing outdoor area would utilize approximately 40 spaces. Therefore, when
both uses are operating, the readily available parking spaces would be reduced to 146.
Since approximately 146 spaces will be provided when both uses are operating, the uses on the
property meet the minimum parking requirement of 121 spaces.
____________________________________________________________________________________
PZC 005-2026 Page 4 of 6
Page 18 of 83
Parking Calculation Summary:
Use Required Spaces (min. 2.5 per 1,000 sq ft)
Bowling Alley (Suburbanite Bowl) ~ 81
Outdoor Retail (Clover’s) ~ 40
Total Required ~ 121
Total provided 146
(when both uses operating)
The use must be considered to the Special Use standards, which are listed below:
Special Use Permit Review and Approval Criteria (Sec. 14.04(H)):
No special use may be recommended for approval or approved unless the respective review or
decision-making body determines that the proposed special use is consistent with and in substantial
compliance with all village ordinances and regulations and that the applicant has presented evidence
to support each of the following conclusions:
(1) That the proposed use or activity is expressly authorized in this zoning ordinance as a special
use;
(2) That the proposed use at the proposed location is necessary or desirable to provide a service
or a facility that is in the interest of public convenience and will contribute to the general
welfare of the neighborhood or community;
(3) That the proposed use will not, in the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or
general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or be injurious to property values
or improvements in the vicinity;
(4) That approval of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and
improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district;
(5) That the proposed special use will be served by adequate utilities, access roads, parking,
drainage and other important and necessary facilities, infrastructure and community services;
and
(6) That the proposed special use complies with all applicable regulations of this zoning
ordinance except as expressly approved in accordance with the procedures of this zoning
ordinance.
C. Recommended Conditions of Approval
Previous ordinances for Clovers’ Special Use Permits included conditions of approval. The following
are proposed to be consistent with the most recent approval while accommodating practical
alterations to the site.
A. Applicant’s outdoor retail operations shall be limited to the parking areas on the Subject Property
identified in the plans submitted with this request. These areas may be re-oriented or otherwise
adjusted, provided such modifications do not adversely affect drive aisles or reduce on‑site
parking below the minimum required, as determined by the Zoning Administrator. Any expansion
or modification beyond these allowable adjustments shall require an amendment to the approved
special use permit.
B. This special use approval is for a one-year period on the following dates of the year: March 15th
to November 15th, and said one-year period shall automatically renew for continuing one-year
____________________________________________________________________________________
PZC 005-2026 Page 5 of 6
Page 19 of 83
periods.
C. However, this automatic renewal is subject to and limited by the right of the Village of Westmont
Board of Trustees to annually review this special use and Applicant' s operations, and to either
modify or add to the special conditions of this approval, or to revoke this approval, should any one
or more of the following occur:
1. Applicant is unable or otherwise fails to comply with any original, modified, or new special
conditions imposed as part of this special use approval; and/ or
2. The Board of Trustees determines that conditions or zoning of the Subject Properties
have changed, and/or the conditions or zoning of surrounding properties have changed,
and/or the special use is creating unique and adverse impacts on the Subject Properties
or surrounding properties that were not originally anticipated upon this special use
approval.
D. No action to modify or revoke this special use shall occur by the Board of Trustees until the Board
of Trustees conducts a hearing on any such action, (in addition to any other public hearing that
may be required by law), with advance written notice to Applicant, and with an opportunity for
Applicant to be heard, to call witnesses, and to present evidence.
Should the Planning & Zoning Commission agree with the recommended conditions, the motion
should be amended to recommend approval of the Special Use Permit request, subject to the
conditions listed in the staff report or modified conditions as deemed appropriate by the Planning and
Zoning Commission and/or Village Board.
IV. SUMMARY
The petitioner has requested a Special Use Permit to operate Clovers Garden Center, an outdoor
retail sales business, in the B-2 General Business District. If approved, the Special Use Permit would
allow for customer-facing sales to occur at 209 West Ogden Avenue and a secondary staging area
in the southwest corner of 201 West Ogden Avenue. Recommended conditions of approval have
been listed in Section III(C), which largely match the conditions placed on the most recent Special
Use Permit approval. The request complies with both the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and
the recommendations from the Comprehensive Plan, and is subject to the standards of Special Use
Permit approval.

Application for Preliminary Plan & Final Plat of Subdivision
The Preliminary Plan of Subdivision shows the lot design, utility layout, street and intersection design for a
subdivision, as well as determining waivers from the Land Development Code. If changes are made to the
subdivision after the Preliminary Plan is approved, but before the Final Plat is approved, a new Preliminary Plan
must be submitted. Subdivisions include consolidations and dedication as defined in Appendix B.
The Final Plat of Subdivision is recorded with the DuPage County Recorder’s office. This plat shows the property
boundaries, dedicates rights-of-way, and grants easements. Subdivided lots can be sold after a Final Plat is
approved and recorded.
Subdivision Process
Subdivisions are most commonly one of the following:
1. A described tract of land which is to be or has been divided into two or more parcels of land
2. Any division of land which creates a lot for transfer of ownership and/or building development
where a new street is involved
3. The dedication of streets, ways, or other areas for the use of the public

applicable, with the exception of recording of a final plat when such recording is specifically exempted under the
Plat Act (765 ILCS 205/0.01 et seq.), which is amended from time to time.
Depending on the scope of the subdivision, the request can be processed in one of two ways. After staff reviews,
the process generally have the following steps:

Application for Zoning Map Amendment
Zoning Map Amendments, or rezonings, are when a property or properties are changed from one zoning district
to another. Map amendments may be initiated by the Board of Trustees, Planning and Zoning Commission, the
zoning administrator, or by a property owner.
Proposed Rezoning Detailed Description
State the reasoning for requesting the map amendment. Describe any change in use, construction plans, or any
other improvement to be completed if the rezoning is approved.
For over thirty years 6015 South Cass Avenue has been the Village's Headquarters Fire
Station. A new Fire Station will replace the existing to better meet the needs of the Village and
its' residents. The current site is zoned as R-3 (single family detached), the petitioner (Village of
Westmont) is requesting that the site be property zoned as P/I (Public and Institutional District).
This zoning request is due to the current use of the site as a commercial property owned by the
Village of Westmont.
The adjacent properties at 6101 South Cass Avenue (zoned C-1 Commercial) and 1000
Beninford Lane (zoned R-4 General Residential) are owned by the Village and serve as
stormwater detention. The detention facilities are proposed to be retained. Once these lots are
consolidated into one, they will all be zoned P/I to avoid split-zoning. Comprehensive Plan
amendments are being requested for these properties from General Commercial and
Parks/Open Space to Public/Semi Public to reflect their current use.
In the table below, please identify the current zoning and land use of the adjacent properties. A PDF of the
Zoning Map can be found on the Village of Westmont’s website under the Community Development page.

Village of Westmont - Application for Zoning Map Amendment
1. Explain how the current zoning restrictions of the current zoning district affect property values.
The Village owns the current properties that are zoned to three separate zoning districts
(single-unit residential, general residential, and commercial). The regulations of the current
zoning districts do not reflect the actual use of the property.
2. Explain the extent to which any diminution in property value is offset by an increase in the public health,
safety, and welfare, if the amendment is approved.
The property is utilized as a fire station, to maintain response times the property will be rezoned to legally
house a fire station. As stated on the Village website "P/I district has setbacks, height limits, and similar
regulations tailored to the needs of institutional uses. The goal of the district is to be more accommodating
for these uses, which should make building new facilities or improving existing ones simpler."
3. Explain the suitability of the subject property for its zoned purposes and the length of time the subject
property has been vacant as zoned, considering the context of land development in the vicinity.
The property is municipal owned and has been used as a fire station for over thirty years.
4. Explain the value to the community of the proposed zoning map amendment.
The property will be properly zoned as P/I for the current and proposed use. Once rezoned, the
property will be regulated by zoning restrictions specifically tailored for public and institutional
uses such as the fire station.
5. Explain how the proposed map amendment and the future use of the property relates to the
Comprehensive Plan’s Proposed Land Use Plan and the subarea plan, if the property is in a subarea. The
Comprehensive Plan can be found on the Village of Westmont’s website under the Community
Development page.
The future land use plan says the Public/Semi Public is an appropriate land use 6015 S Cass Ave.
Comprehensive Plan amendments are being requested for 6101 S Cass Ave and 1000 Beninford Ln, as the
plan states that General Commercial and Parks/Open Space are appropriate future land uses, respectively.
Once approved, the amendments would reflect that the Village owns all of these properties and that the
future land use of the property is unified.
Notes:
1. Valid protest petitions may be filed against any proposed zoning map amendment. Please see
Chapter 95, Section 14.02(G) for more information.
2. Please be advised that the review and decision-making bodies are expressly authorized to
recommend and approve a less intensive zoning district classification than the zoning district that
was described in the required public notices.

Application for Site and Landscaping Plan Review
Site and landscaping plan review and approval is required to ensure the use and development of
land, as authorized under the Zoning Ordinance, is undertaken in a proper manner. This could
include furthering public health, safety and welfare, making adequate provisions for assuring the
availability of appropriate public and private services and amenities, and for minimizing the adverse
effects of such development.
The use of site and landscaping plan review is also intended to prevent deterioration of the
function, character and appearance of the Village; provide a favorable environment for residents
and businesses; and protect property values within Westmont. Conditions of approval may be
placed on site plan approvals to ensure any negative impacts associated with the development are
mitigated or eliminated.
Site plan approval is required for development under the following situations:
● Construction or enlargement of a principal building occupied by 3 or more dwelling units or
the addition of more than 1,000 square feet of impervious surface on any lot occupied by 3
or more dwelling units
● Construction or enlargement of a principal building occupied by one or more nonresidential
uses or the addition of more than 1,000 square feet of impervious surface on any lot
occupied by a nonresidential use
● Reconstruction or replacement of more than 50% of the street-facing facade of any
principal building in a downtown zoning district
● Any other use or activity for which site plan approval is expressly required in the zoning
ordinance
Site Plan Review Processes
Site plans are split into two categories: major and administrative. Major site plans are when
● Construction of any new building subject to site plan review that exceeds more than 10,000
square feet of gross floor area
● Enlargements of any existing buildings subject to site plan review that results in the addition
of more than 10,000 square feet of gross floor area
● Site plans that qualify as administrative site plans but which are referred by the zoning
administrator for processing as a major site plan due to potential adverse impacts on
neighboring properties or noncompliance with applicable zoning or other village regulations
● Any other activities for which major site plan is expressly identified in the zoning ordinance

Application for Variance
In some cases, properties may not be able to meet the strict standards of the zoning ordinance due to unique conditions. In
these cases, an exception to the rule, called a variance, can be requested and granted when particular conditions are met.
The petitioner has the responsibility of justifying the request to both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Village
Board. There is a set of standards for variances and the applicant must demonstrate a hardship that they did not create.
Proposed Project and Variance Details
State the scope of the work and indicate the specific variation you are requesting. Attach such diagrams,
drawings or other information as may be useful to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Village Board in
understanding your variation. You must indicate the specific sections of the Village’s Zoning Ordinance for which
the variation is sought. Please consult Village staff for confirmation.
The new Fire Station Headquarters is located at 6015 South Cass Avenue. The first floor is 25,412 square feet, the second floor is 4,598 square feet, the
basement is 4,601 square feet. The total building area with the apparatus mezzanine is 35,504 square feet.
The North end of the building will house the Fire living quarters, South of the living quarters are five drive-through apparatus bays. The South end of the building
is the public the entrance of the building with a training room on the first floor and administration offices on the second floor. The basement will be utilized for
storage.
Due to this building's public safety function, and necessity for use during emergencies, an emergency standby generator to power the building is needed. The
generator will be sized for the entire building and will be larger than that typically used to power residential structures.
The proposed generator will be 350KW with a 1900 gallon UL142 double walled fuel tank. The fuel tank will provide 72 hours of generator power to meet critical
operations power systems (COPS) requirements as defined by NEC article 708. The total dimensions of the generator, fuel tank and sound attenuated
enclosure is 7'w x 21'l x 11' high. The generator noise will be attenuated to 70 decibels, which is approximately the level of sound of a vacuum cleaner or
washing machine.
The following variations to the Zoning Code section 7.16 Generators are requested as follows:
1. The zoning code indicates natural gas or propane fuel. Use of a diesel generator to meet COPS requirements is requested.
2. Size of the generator and enclosure will exceed 30 sf and 5' in height. A variation to the size limitations is requested.
Findings of Fact
The Village of Westmont is obligated to make specific findings of fact for all variance applications according to the
Village Zoning Ordinance and Illinois State Statutes. The Planning and Zoning Commission must find evidence that
the request meets the eight standards of variance defined in the Village’s Zoning Ordinance. Applicants are
REQUIRED to submit written evidence and/or analysis of the standards for EACH variance below. Additionally,
applicants are strongly encouraged to review the standards of variance in preparation of a defense for their
variance request during the Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing.1 If multiple variances are being
requested, respond to each standard separately. Attach as many sheets as necessary.
1
Standards for Variations pursuant to Chapter 95 - Zoning, Sec. 14.06(H) Standards and Review Criteria
VAR-1
Page 55 of 83
Village of Westmont - Application for Variance
1. Practical Hardship or Practical Difficulty: The applicant must demonstrate that requiring strict compliance
with the regulation for which a variance is sought would create a particular hardship or particular difficulty.
Adherence to sec 7.16 of the zoning code would not allow a generator of sufficient
capacity to power the Fire Station during emergencies to be installed. The fire station is a
critical facility for the Village's residents, and ensuring power to the facility is paramount.
2. Unique Physical Condition: The applicant must demonstrate that the subject property is exceptional as
compared to other lots subject to the same provision by reason of a unique physical condition, including
presence of an existing use, structure, or sign, whether conforming or nonconforming; irregular or
substandard shape or size; or other extraordinary physical conditions peculiar to and inherent in the subject
property that amount to more than a mere inconvenience to the owner and that relate to or arise out of
the subject lot rather than the personal situation of the current owner of the lot.
The subject property has been the site of a Fire Station for more than 30 years. Ensuring
continuous power to this facility is critical to providing public safety services to the
community.
3. Not Self-Created: The applicant must demonstrate that the unique physical condition is not the result of any
action or inaction of the owner, or of the owner’s predecessors in title and known to the owner before
acquisition of the subject property, and existed at the time of the enactment of the provisions from which a
variance is sought or was created by natural forces or was the result of governmental action for which no
compensation was paid.
The subject property has been the site of a Fire Station for more than 30 years. Ensuring
continuous power to this facility is critical to providing public safety services to the
community.
4. Denied Substantial Rights: The applicant must demonstrate that requiring strict compliance with the
regulation for which a variance is sought would deprive the subject property owner of substantial rights
commonly enjoyed by owners of other lots subject to the same regulation.
Many commercial facilities and other public facilities have generators of a similar size to
provide standby emergency power.
VAR-2
Page 56 of 83
Village of Westmont - Application for Variance
5. Not Merely Special Privilege: The applicant must demonstrate that the alleged particular hardship or practical
difficulty is not merely the inability of the owner or occupant to enjoy some special privilege or additional right
not available to owners or occupants of other lots subject to the same provision, nor merely an inability to
make more money from use of the subject property.
Emergency standby generator power is essential for the reliable operation of a critical
facility such as the Fire Station.
6. Zoning Ordinance & Comprehensive Plan: The applicant must demonstrate that the variance would not result
in a use or development of the subject property that would not be in harmony with the general and specific
purposes of the zoning ordinance and the comprehensive plan.
The subject property has been the site of a Fire Station for more than 30 years. Ensuring
continuous power to this facility is critical to providing public safety services to the
community.
7. Essential Character of the Area: The applicant must demonstrate that the variance would not result in a use or
development of the subject property that (1) would be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development, or value of property or improvements permitted in
the vicinity, (2) would materially impair an adequate supply of the light and air to the properties and
improvements in the vicinity, (3) would unduly increase the danger of flooding or fire, (4) would unduly tax
public utilities, facilities, or services in the area, or (5) would endanger the public health or safety.
The generator will be located in the rear yard, will be properly screened and will include
sound attenuation so as not to unduly impact surrounding properties.
8. No Other Remedy: The applicant must demonstrate that there is no means other than the requested variance
by which the alleged hardship or practical difficulty can be avoided or remedies to a degree sufficient to permit
a reasonable use of the subject property.
Emergency standby power/ critical operations power systems is a requirement for a facility
such as the Fire Station. The Fire Station is an important community asset required to
provide essential services to the residents of Westmont.

constructed as needed to serve the community.
This submittal includes the following for the Commission’s review and approval:
● Preliminary and Final Plat of Consolidation – four (4) lots into one (1) lot.
● Zoning Map Amendment – re-zone the properties from R-3, R-4, and C-1 to the
P/I district.
● Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment – amend the future land use for portions
of the property from General Commercial and Parks/Open Space to Public/Semi
Public.
● Zoning Ordinance Variance – Section 7.16 Generators – to allow for diesel fuel to
meet COPS requirements, as well as to the maximum area and height for an
emergency generator.
● Major Site Plan

II. PETITIONER REQUEST:
The petitioner is requesting approval for several actions related to the redevelopment of 6015 South
Cass Avenue, 6101 South Cass Avenue, and 1000 Beninford Lane. The Village of Westmont is
proposing to replace the existing Fire Department Headquarters with a new fire station facility, along
with associated improvements to the parking lot, signage, fencing, the emergency generator, and
landscaping. To accommodate the project, the Village is seeking a Comprehensive Plan Map
Amendment to redesignate the properties to Public/Semi‑Public and a Zoning Ordinance Map
Amendment to rezone the parcels to the P/I Public and Institutional District. Additional requests
include a Preliminary Plat of Subdivision to consolidate four lots into one, a Variance for the size, fuel
type, and placement of the emergency generator, and approval of a Major Site Plan in support of the
proposed redevelopment.
III. ZONING ANALYSIS

LAND-USE PLAN (2013 Comprehensive Plan) - 6015-6101 South Cass Avenue + 1000 Beninford Lane
B. Entitlement Request
The petitioner has provided a project narrative and supporting documentation for the following
request, including the necessary responses to the Variance Standards. Any corresponding standards
for entitlement approval consideration can be referenced in item V(B) below.
● Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment from General Commercial and Parks/Open
Space to Public/Semi Public
The proposed consolidation and rezoning involve three parcels that currently have incompatible
land-use designations according to the Village’s 2013 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. To
achieve consistency for the redevelopment, an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Map is
necessary to establish a unified land use designation across all affected properties.

three different zoning districts, a single, consistent zoning district must be established, as split zoning
is prohibited. Given the existing and proposed uses, the P/I (Public/Institutional) Zoning District is the
most suitable choice, as it permits safety services.

● Preliminary Plan of Subdivision to consolidate four (4) lots into one (1) lot
The petitioner proposes to consolidate the four existing parcels into a single property to facilitate the
redevelopment, establish clear site control, and maintain overall consistency across the site. The
following addresses and PIN(s) are to be consolidated into a single property consisting of the new
Fire Station headquarters, fuel station, parking facilities, and regional stormwater detention facilities,

All public improvements required by Appendix B of the Village’s Municipal Code already exist. The
preliminary plan, which consists of the final plat, has been provided for review and substantially
complies with the standards for the P/I District.
● Zoning Ordinance Variance to the maximum size, fuel type, and location of an
Emergency Generator
Among the various site improvements proposed on the site, the petitioner is also proposing an
exterior emergency generator near the north east corner of the property. The proposed exterior
emergency generator, planned for the northeast corner of the property, does not comply with several
requirements in Section 7.16 of the Zoning Ordinance regarding maximum size, fuel type, and
setbacks.
Fuel Type: The generator proposes to use diesel fuel, which is not an allowable fuel type. Section
7.16 permits only natural gas or propane generators for standby (emergency backup) electrical
power.
Setback: The generator is located approximately 55 feet from the side or rear wall of the building.
____________________________________________________________________________________
PZC 004-2026 Page 5 of 8
Page 80 of 83
The regulations permit a projection of up to 10 feet into the required rear setback, but only if the
equipment is within 5 feet of the side or rear wall. Therefore, the proposed location does not meet
the minimum requirement.
Size: The proposed generator and its sound attenuation enclosure significantly exceed the maximum
size requirement of 30 square feet and 5 feet in height. The proposal is approximately 141.1 square
feet and 10.5 feet in height,however due to the anticipated grade change the generator on ground
will be between 2 and 3 feet lower than the north and east property lines, respectively.
The petitioner cites that the proposed generator needs 72 hours of fuel to meet Critical Operations
Power Systems (COPS) requirements. The petitioner has also provided the specification of the
proposed generator and sound attenuation enclosure.
● Major Site Plan
The project involves the demolition of the existing south fire station headquarters and the
construction of a new 25,158 square foot fire station headquarters. This new facility will
accommodate general safety service operations and offices.
Site improvements will also include an updated parking lot, new fencing, an accessory patio with a
pergola, the installation of an emergency generator, and the relocation of the community electronic
message board sign. Aside from minor grading to accommodate ADA accessible parking stalls, no
other improvements are currently proposed for the fueling station. Some minor filling of the
stormwater detention facility is required to accommodate the larger parking footprint, but any loss in
storage will be minimized by the use of permeable pavement in the parking stalls.
Since the proposed building exceeds the minimum threshold of 10,000 square feet for a new
structure or addition, Major Site Plan approval is required per Sec. 14.05 of the Zoning Ordinance.
When processed as a Major Site Plan, the location of all buildings and structure, landscaping, and
building elevations are reviewed for approval by the Village Board.
Building:
The new Fire Department Headquarters will be constructed in the same general area as the current
structure, but with a larger overall footprint.The facility's functions will include vehicle and equipment
storage, employee housing, and administrative offices. Emergency vehicle access will be provided
via South Cass Avenue, with street striping planned. Additionally, a patio and pergola are proposed
in the north east east corner for employees to utilize during shifts.
The building design, featuring a combination of Brick Veneer and Fiber Cement with a focus on the
west elevation facing Cass Avenue, substantially complies with the Village’s Design Guidelines for
this Gateway & Corridor. Furthermore, the building adheres to all required minimum setbacks and
height limits for the P/I Zoning District, pending the rezoning.
Fencing:
The petitioner proposes a seven-foot-tall, closed composite fence. This fencing will be situated along
the rear (east) property line, north of the fuel pumping station and along the proposed parking lot. It
will continue along the north property line until it reaches the 25 foot front yard setback along Cass
Avenue. This new fence meets the maximum height permissions and style for the P/I District and will
offer the required screening for the adjacent residential properties to the north and east. The existing
split rail fencing around the stormwater detention facilities will be preserved.
____________________________________________________________________________________
PZC 004-2026 Page 6 of 8
Page 81 of 83
Parking:
The petitioner is proposing several site improvements to the parking lot and drive aisles. These
improvements include a combination of asphalt and concrete pavement in the drive aisles and
aprons, as well as permeable pavers in the parking stalls.Restriping in the existing parking lot will
provide the required ADA stalls. The dumpster enclosure will also be relocated to the rear of the
property. Due to the expanded building footprint, the total number of on-site parking spaces will be
reduced from 62 to 49, a net reduction of 13 spaces. The Village’s zoning ordinance provides a
distinct approach for safety services, such as fire stations, compared to other commercial or
residential uses, acknowledging their unique operational circumstances. For these facilities, the code
allows reliance on a professional firm to determine the necessary parking ratio based on the
comparability of similar uses. Additionally, a bike rack is also part of the proposal along the south
elevation of the building. Peak parking demand is anticipated to be 37 spaces based on the following
employee breakdown during a shift change: 6 administration staff, 11 Fire Prevention Bureau
employees, and 20 personnel in the living quarters (during a shift change).
Landscaping:
The submitted landscape plan accompanying the request for major site plan approval is found to be
in substantial compliance with the Village's adopted regulations. The design includes significant
landscaping around the building's perimeter, featuring a broader diversity of plant types along the
more visible facades. Furthermore, the plan incorporates the required exterior landscaping for the
parking lot.
Signage:
Signage is planned for the front of the building. The existing community electronic message board
sign is being moved further south, closer to the fuel pumping station, to improve visibility. A 5 foot
landscaping bed will surround the base of the proposed monument sign, as shown in the landscape
plan. It should be noted that while signage is being proposed, its total size, orientation, and materials
are largely exempt from the Village's Zoning Ordinance regulations because they relate to the
discharge of governmental functions.
IV. SUMMARY
The petitioner is seeking approvals to redevelop the existing Fire Department Headquarters with a
new facility and related site improvements. Requests include a Comprehensive Plan Map
Amendment to Public/Semi‑Public, rezoning to the P/I Public and Institutional District, consolidation
