It was discovered during the review of the case that improvements as a result of this request will need relief from (c)(6), which requires that 50 percent of the wall area along a retail street between 2 and 12 feet above grade to be comprised of clear transparent glass. The petitioner will be adding a first floor and upper-story addition to 8106 Lincoln Avenue. The proposed 1,791 ft² child day care will be on the first floor. The main child day care entrance will be at the rear of the building and will be accessible to 7 parking spaces for employees, customers, and the upper story residence. The entrance on Lincoln Avenue will be used as an emergency exit, but the proposed floor plan can accommodate conversion of this entrance to a main entrance for user in the future. The 1,868 ft² upper-story residence is permitted by right. The residential entrance will also be relocated to the rear of the building and be assigned an address of 8104 Lincoln Avenue. This change will allow for the removal of one of the two existing doors and the raised stoop located in the right-of-way along Lincoln Avenue. The entire façade of the building will be replaced. Staff has determined that approximately 39% of the applicable wall area contains transparent glass, rather than the 50% required by the Zoning Ordinance. However, due to the existing height of the ground floor, the petitioner has provided the maximum amount of glass feasible in an effort to meet the intent of the Ordinance. INTERESTED PARTIES Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered as prescribed by the Zoning Ordinance. No interested parties spoke at the hearing.

62 PLAN COMMISSION POSITIVE FINDINGS OF FACT P: Special Use Permit Plan Commission Council Chambers, 7:30 PM August 3, Consideration The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, or general welfare; and the proposed building or use at the particular location is necessary or desirable to provide a service or a facility which is in the public interest and will contribute to the general welfare of the neighborhood or community. Findings The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, morals or general welfare. The use accommodates a community need for child care while improving the façade of an aging structure. Consideration The proposed building or use will not substantially change the character of the neighborhood, will not have an undue adverse affect upon adjacent property or property values in the neighborhood, will not unduly aggravate traffic conditions, and will not unduly burden essential public services such as drainage facilities, public utilities, and those services pertaining to public health, safety, and welfare in general. Findings The proposed use will not substantially change the character of the neighborhood. An existing child daycare center is currently located in the vicinity. The new child day care center will service a limited number of families which limits the impacts of potentially aggravating traffic conditions. Additionally, improvements to the façade will be made which will improve the aesthetics of the surrounding area. Consideration The proposed building(s) or use will be designed, arranged, and operated so as to permit the development and use of neighboring property in accordance with the applicable district regulations. Findings Traffic circulation at the site was improved to accommodate the child daycare center. The relief requested will not negatively impact the development and use of neighboring property in accordance with the applicable district regulations.

63 4 5 Consideration The proposed use will not alter or be contrary to the primary purpose of the Zoning District of the area in which it is proposed, when its effect is considered in conjunction with the cumulative effect of the number of various Special Uses of all types already in the adjacent area and in the Village as a whole. Findings The proposed use compliments the intent of the district by providing a valuable service in the downtown area. Consideration The proposed use and its plan conform to the general intent of the Official Comprehensive Plan. Findings The site is designated as Downtown Core Mixed-use. The special use in combination with the upper story residence provides a mixing of uses that complements the intent of the district.

Public sidewalks are located along Lincoln Avenue. An existing driveway and curb cut is located on Lincoln Avenue, with a driveway that connects to parking in the rear of the building. VOSDOCS-# v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_ P SUP_for_child_day_care_(Swift_Child_Care_Infants_ 8 of 14

65 There are two building entrances on Lincoln Avenue, one of which has a raised stoop encroaching into the public sidewalk. Overhead utility lines service the site from the rear of the building. The #210 Pace bus route operates on Lincoln Avenue. The #97 CTA bus route operates on Niles Center Road. The site is within 2,000 feet of the bus transfer area at Oakton Street and Lincoln Avenue. The first floor is approximately 1,791 ft² and the second floor is approximately 1,868 ft². The petitioner is participating in the Village Façade Improvement Program. PETITIONER S SUBMITTAL Anoosh & Yadegar, LLC, on behalf of Yadegar Varda for Swift Child Care Infants & Toddlers, is requesting a special use permit for a child day care not in a residence at 8106 Lincoln Avenue in a CX Core Mixed-use district that is along a retail street. It was discovered during the review of the case that improvements as a result of this request will need relief from (c)(6), which requires that 50 percent of the wall area along a retail street between 2 and 12 feet above grade to be comprised of clear transparent glass. The petitioner is currently building an addition to 8106 Lincoln Avenue. The result will be an enlarged first floor and upper story residence. The proposed child day care will be located on the first floor. It will consist of an infant room, refrigerator and sink area, office, bathrooms, mop room, and toddler room with a total floor area of 1,791 ft². The main entrance for the proposed child day care will be moved to the rear of the building, which will be accessible to 7 parking spaces for employees, customers, and the upper story residence. The east portion of the building utilizes an existing structure with the height of the floor approximately 2.5 feet above grade. All necessary ramping to bring the building into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act will be located in the building s interior. The entrance on Lincoln Avenue will be used as an emergency exit, but will make accommodations for the future conversion of the Lincoln Avenue entrance to a main entrance for a commercial use. The upper story residence, which is permitted by right, includes a family room, kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, and a laundry closet with a total floor area of 1,868 ft². The residential entrance will be relocated to the rear of the building and be assigned an address of 8104 Lincoln Avenue. This change will allow for the removal of one of the two existing doors along Lincoln Avenue and the raised stoop located in the right-ofway. The entire façade of the building will be replaced. Staff has determined that approximately 96 ft 2 of storefront windows and/or entry doors are proposed between 2 and 12 feet above grade. This is approximately 39 percent of the applicable wall area, rather than the 50 percent required by the Zoning Ordinance. However, due to the VOSDOCS-# v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_ P SUP_for_child_day_care_(Swift_Child_Care_Infants_ 9 of 14

66 existing height of the ground floor, the petitioner cannot meet the 50 percent glazing requirement. Rather, the petitioner has provided the maximum amount of glass feasible in an effort to meet the intent of the Ordinance. The petitioner s statement regarding the effects of the proposed use on the neighborhood, property values, traffic conditions, storm water detention, and other matters pertaining to the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare is incorporated into this report as an attachment. STAFF ANALYSIS Staff comment and review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments. Staff comments on the subject case were received from the Health Department, Fire Department, and Engineering Division. All other departments returned the sheets with no comments. Health Department The Health Department has no objections to the plan concept. Final approval is subject to the review of building permit plans. Fire Department The Fire Department notes that sprinklers are required for the child day care with fire alarms. Public Works Department Traffic Engineering Division The Traffic Engineering Division notes that the day care center will have a parking requirement of 5 spaces including 1 handicapped space. Seven parking spaces are provided. The pick up/drop off activity is to function on the petitioner s property and the existing parking on Lincoln Avenue must remain. Additionally, the existing parking lot should be patched, resurfaced, and re-striped. Public Works Department Civil Engineering Division The Civil Engineering Division notes that all new electrical service must be placed underground. The site must meet Village stormwater detention requirements. Please note that motor vehicle parking facility design standards require curbing. Planning Division The proposed plan converts a vacant commercial property into a valuable addition to the downtown. Currently, the petitioner operates other child day care centers that serve approximately 200 families in the Skokie area. The proposed new location will allow the petitioner to meet the needs of their clients by providing services to an additional 20 to VOSDOCS-# v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_ P SUP_for_child_day_care_(Swift_Child_Care_Infants_ 10 of 14

67 25 families with infants and toddlers. The expansion of their business not only provides a valuable service to the community, but has the added benefit of improving the façade of a highly visible building in the downtown area. During the review of this case, Staff discovered that the proposed child daycare center requires relief from (c)(6), which calls for 50 percent of the wall area along a retail street between 2 and 12 feet above grade to consist of clear transparent glass. Due to the raised height of the first floor, the 50 percent glazing requirement cannot be met. Nonetheless, the petitioner proposes 39 percent glazing which is the maximum extent feasible in an attempt to meet the intent of the Zoning Ordinance requirement. APPEARANCE COMMISSION The Appearance Commission reviewed the building elevations for this request at the May 13, 2009 hearing. Subsequently, revisions were made to the east elevation, but were found to be in substantial compliance with the approved plans.
