MEMORANDUM TO: Plan Commission FROM: Jeff Ryckaert, Principal Planner, and Dan Nakahara, Associate Planner DATE: August 3, 206 RE: Request for approval of a Special Use for a self-improvement facility for Shred45 at 636 Deerfield Road Subject Property The subject property consists of Deerfield Shopper s Court. The property is zoned C- Village Center District and consists of two buildings and two separate parking areas. The buildings in Shopper s Court consist of approximately 24,973 square feet total and the Shopper s Court property is approximately 7,874 square feet in area (.65 acres). The easternmost building contained the former Overstock Furniture Sales with approximately 3,853 square feet. The westernmost building consists of the Deerfield Bank and Trust of approximately 2,892 square feet; the vacant former RHT kitchen and bath store of approximately,450 square feet; the Koenig & Strey real estate office of approximately,600 square feet; a Chinese restaurant (Golden Star Chinese Food) of approximately,070 square feet; a dry cleaners (Hanalei Cleaners) of approximately,27 square feet; and an Italian restaurant (Italian Kitchen Restaurant) of approximately 2,84 square feet. In 2007, the Village granted approval of the Deerfield Bank and Trust Special Use, and the petitioners made façade improvements to the westernmost building along with site improvements. Earlier this year, the Village approved major renovations to the 636 Deerfield Road building which includes the conversion of the single tenant building into a multiple tenant building. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning North: R-3 Single Family Residence District, single family homes South: (across Deerfield Road) C- Village Center District, Deerfield Centre East: C- Village Center District, publicly owned parking lot (Village of Deerfield) West: C- Village Center District, U.S. Bank property Special Use for Shred45 The petitioners are requesting a Special Use for a 3,279 square foot self-improvement facility offering cardio and strength training exercise classes at the northwest corner of the 636 Deerfield Road building. This Special Use request was continued from earlier this year at the request of the petitioners. Attached are the Special Use standards. Shred45 is a fitness studio offering high intensity cardio and strength training. It offers one hour total body workout with high quality equipment. The studio employs the top
fitness experts in Chicago. Shred45 classes are one hour long with 30 people maximum in a class. The proposed hours of operation are 4:45 a.m. to 9 p.m., but will vary depending on the day of the week and class demand. The petitioners have indicated the busiest times are 6 a.m. to 9:45 a.m., and the studio is mostly an appointment based business, but walk-ins are accepted if space is available. The petitioner s written description indicates the total number of employees who will be employed by the business, and the maximum number of employees working at one time is 4 to 6. The proposed fitness studio also offers child care for patrons of the business with Wii, TV, books, and games. The studio offers hair and skin products, and apparel, accessories, and healthy snacks and drinks. The floor plan shows a 25 by 50 studio, an office, storage, a front desk, a lobby area inside the entrance, locker rooms, and a child care room. Parking There is a provision in the Zoning Ordinance which addresses parking requirements in the C- Village Center District when a change in use occurs. The Zoning Ordinance states: "Whenever the existing use of a building, structure or premises shall hereafter be changed to a new use, parking and loading facilities shall be provided as required for such new use. However, if the building or structure was lawfully erected prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, and it is located in the C- Village Center District, additional parking or loading facilities are mandatory only in the event the floor area of the building or structure is increased, and then only to the extent required by the additional space. Notwithstanding anything is the foregoing paragraph, all Special Use standards set forth in Article 3.-D shall be applicable. The petitioners are not planning to increase the building floor area and therefore no additional parking would be required based on the above provision. Although no additional parking is required to be provided on the subject property, parking is one of the Plan Commission criteria that is taken into account as part of the establishment of a Special Use. If the petitioner needs approval of Special Uses in the future, these use will be examined on a case by case basis. Currently, there are approximately 89 parking spaces available on the Shopper s Court property which includes both parking areas (the large parking lot to the north of the buildings with approximately 75 parking spaces, and the small parking lot in the front Italian Kitchen and other uses with 4 spaces). The parking requirement for a recreational use is one () parking space for each three (3) patrons based on the capacity of the facility in terms of the largest number of 2
patrons on the premises at one time. The petitioners indicate there will be a maximum of 36 patrons on the premises at one time, requiring 2 parking spaces for the fitness studio portion of the facility (36 patrons /3 = 2). Under today s parking requirements in the Zoning Ordinance, a total of 44 spaces would be required for the entire Shopper s Court property (the 636 Deerfield Road building, and the 646 660 Deerfield Road building) based on the uses on subject property: Building Areas Required Parking Proposed Shredd45: 3,279 s.f. 2 spaces Remainder of 636 Bld.: 0,574 s.f. 52.87 spaces (calculated as retail) Real estate office:,600 s.f. 6.4 spaces Bank: 2,89 s.f. 4.5 spaces Kitchen & bath store:,500 s.f. 7.5 spaces Chinese restaurant:,069 s.f. 8.9 spaces Dry cleaner:,27 s.f. 6. spaces Italian restaurant: 2,84 s.f. 35. spaces Total: 24,944 s.f. 44 spaces - Retail stores require: One () space for each 200 square feet of gross floor area. - Office uses require: One () space for each 250 square feet of gross floor area. - Banks require: One () parking space for each 200 square feet of gross floor area. - Sit down restaurants require: One () parking space for each 60 square feet of gross floor area. - Carry out restaurants require: One () space for each 20 square feet of gross floor area. Village Owned Parking Lot to the East The Village owned parking lot to the east of the Shopper s Court property and on the west side of Rosemary Terrace, across the street from the Methodist Church, currently contains approximately 50 public parking spaces. There is a 960 agreement between the property owner (at that time National Foods), the Church, and the Village. These entities helped to create the public parking lot. In the agreement, all the parties contributed money for the new lot. The agreement did not specify that so many parking spaces were assigned to each entity the lot was for public parking purposes. The Village maintains this public parking lot. The Village recently granted the new owner of Shoppers Court a license agreement to allow improvements on the Village owned lot in conjunction with the major renovations to the 636 Deerfield Road building. 3
Parking and Traffic Study The petitioners have submitted a parking and traffic study for the 636 Deerfield Road building. The study assumes a 3,200 square foot Shred45 fitness facility and the remaining 0,800 square foot of the 636 Deerfield Road building is divided up into a,900 square foot martial arts studio, and 2,300 square quick service restaurant and 6,500 square feet of specialty retail. The 636 Deerfield Road building is currently vacant during the major renovations, and Shred45 will be the first use to occupy the renovated building. The study provides the existing traffic volumes (page 9), and the estimated site generated traffic volumes for the various uses (page, table 2 and page 3, figure 6) along with the year 2022 total projected traffic volumes (page 4, figure 7). Page 22 of the study analyzes the parking needs of the future tenants including Shred45, which the peak parking demand is 28 spaces on a weekday and 20 spaces on a Sunday according to Table 7. Table 7 also indicates the estimated parking demand for the various uses on the weekday (80 spaces) and Saturday (74 spaces). Tables 8 and 9 on pages 24 and 25 show the hourly distribution of parking demand for each of the uses which is added to the existing uses for the weekday and weekend and the study indicates that the existing parking supply is adequate for the future uses including Shred45. Tenant Wall Signage: Zoning Ordnance Compliance for Tenant Wall Signage Number: For each use occupying a ground floor, one () sign facing a public street, public right of way, or parking area. Area: Front and rear wall 8% of the area of the building wall to which the sign is affixed or 80 square feet, whichever is greater. Sidewall 4% of the area of the building wall to which the sign is affixed or 40 square feet, whichever is greater. Height: Wall signs may not project higher than the roof deck or more than 30 feet above the curb level, whichever is lower. Maximum Distance From the Wall and Mounting Business wall signs may be located on the outermost wall of the principal building on the wall. The maximum distance the Village has allowed, without a variation, is one foot away from the wall, and the wall sign must be mounted directly to the wall. The 4
proposed wall signage for the tenants is more than one foot away from the wall, and is not mounted to the wall but sits on top of the new building element and sign variations were previously granted for future tenant signage when the sign criteria for the 636 Deerfield Road building was approved. Sign Criteria For Tenant Business Signs in the 636 Deerfield Road Building The Sign Criteria specifically for the 636 Deerfield Road Building (see attached) was created in order to create a consistent and uniform appearance and for the mutual benefit of all tenants.

The individual letters of the Tenant Sign shall not exceed 24 in the event one line of text is used or 36 total height in the event two lines of text are used. The sign letters shall sit on top of the horizontal steel brow that extends 8 from the wall. The letters shall be internally lighted with all conductors, transformers etc., concealed as much as possible. The letter style and font will be the choice of the tenant. Colored tenant logos will be allowed, but limited to two colors in addition to white. For each tenant occupying the building, no more than one tenant sign facing in any single direction will be permitted except for tenants with multiple facades. Tenants with multiple facades are permitted no more than one sign per facade. At the building corners, signage letters shall not project more than 2 past the face of the particular building façade. On the north facing façade, the tenant sign shall be affixed directly to the wall and shall be externally lit with gooseneck type fixtures. The existing sign criteria for the other portion of the Shopper s Court to the west of the 636 Deerfield Road building (646-660 Deerfield Road) did not change. 5
