Body
WHEREAS, an application seeking an amendment to a special use permit, with modifications, for certain real estate, as set forth below, has been filed with the Village Clerk of this Village and has been referred to the Plan Commission of this Village and has been processed in accordance with the Land Development Code of the Village of Orland Park, as amended; and
WHEREAS, the Plan Commission of this Village held a public hearing on November 25, 2008, properly continued to December 9, 2008, on whether the requested amendment to a special use permit, with modifications, should be granted, at which time all persons present were afforded an opportunity to be heard; and
WHEREAS, a public notice, in the form required by law, was given of said November 25, 2008 public hearing by publication not more than 30 days nor less than 15 days prior to said hearing in the SouthtownStar, a newspaper of general circulation in this Village; and
WHEREAS, the Plan Commission of this Village has filed with the President and Board of Trustees its report of findings and recommendations that the requested amendment to a special use permit, with modifications, be granted, and this Board of Trustees has duly considered said report and findings and recommendations;
NOW THEREFORE, Be It Ordained by the President and Board of Trustees of the Village of Orland Park, Cook and Will Counties, Illinois, as follows:
SECTION 1
The Plan Commission has made its report of findings and recommendations, and such are hereby adopted by reference as findings of this President and Board of Trustees as fully as if completely set forth at length herein. All exhibits submitted at the aforesaid public hearing are also incorporated by reference into this Ordinance. This President and Board of Trustees find that the proposed amendment to a special use permit, with modifications, is in the public good and in the best interests of the Village and its residents, are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan of the Village, and are consistent with and foster the purposes and spirit of the Land Development Code of the Village of Orland Park, as set forth in Section 1-102 thereof.
SECTION 2
In addition to the findings set forth in Section 1 hereof, this Board of Trustees further finds in relation to the requested amendment to a special use permit, with modifications, as follows:
(a) The Subject Property is a 4.99 acre parcel located at 10730 W. 163rd Place. It is zoned MFG Manufacturing District within the Village of Orland Park, Cook and Will Counties, Illinois. The Petitioner is seeking an amendment to the Special Use Permit for the Subject Property to allow a Special Use for Planned Development, with modifications, for the Subject Property.
(b) The Subject Property is owned by the Orland Fire Protection District (the “FPD”) and used for a training facility and maintenance site. The FPD desires to expand the training capabilities at the site. This will require an amendment to the site plan for the original special use, in the form of a special use for planned development for multiple buildings on the site, including a new and larger training building.
(c) Petitioner’s use of the site is restricted by the existence of a large cellular tower in the center of the site. This limits the placement of the new building and also triggers the need for a modification to the required 50 foot front yard setback. Because of the tower’s placement and the overall use of the site, a 37.5 foot front yard is requested. In addition, a modification of the prohibition of parking between a building and the street is requested to permit such parking on the Subject Property, because the front drive may occasionally be used for parking.
(d) Granting the requested modifications will enhance the ability of the proposed amended special use to meet the general standards for all special uses. Specifically, it will permit the provision of a high quality community facility for training public service providers. The facility will be built to a higher standard than that typically found in the MFG District. In addition, permitting the modifications will enhance the functionality of the site, which is an important public safety facility used by multiple government agencies.
(e) The proposed amendment to a special use with modifications will be consistent with the character of the immediate vicinity of the Subject Property. The surrounding property is zoned MFG District to the north, south and east. The property to the west is residential. To the north and south are detention and office uses and to the east is an indoor sports business. The proposed use will be compatible with these surrounding uses.
(f) The proposed amendment to a Special Use with modifications is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and standards of the Comprehensive Plan, any adopted overlay plan and the Land Development Code of the Village of Orland Park. The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as Regional Intensity Industrial. The fire training facility with multiple buildings on a single parcel is appropriate in such an area.
(g) The design of the proposed amended special use with modifications will minimize any adverse effects, including visual impacts, on adjacent properties. The new building location and its design features increase the visual attractiveness of the Subject Property, thus minimizing adverse effects. A landscaping plan has not yet been submitted but landscaping will meet Village standards. The project will enhance the character of the area.
(h) The Petitioner has demonstrated that public facilities and services, including but not limited to roadways, park facilities, police protection, hospital and medical services, drainage systems, refuse disposal, water and sewers, and schools will be capable of serving the amended special use at an adequate level of service. The facility will enhance the public safety and assist the FPD and surrounding agencies in preparing to handle emergency situations as a team. The site has a single access at an existing curb cut off of 163rd Place.
(i) The Petitioner has made adequate legal provisions to guarantee the provision and development of any open space and other improvements associated with the proposed development.
(j) The development will not adversely affect a known archaeological, historical or cultural resource.
(k) The amendment to a special use in the form of a special use for a planned development with modifications as granted shall in all aspects conform to the applicable regulations of the Land Development Code of the Village of Orland Park as amended, for the district in which it is located as well as all applicable regulations and ordinances of the Village, unless specifically addressed in this or another Ordinance.
SECTION 3
An amendment to the Special Use Permit granted by Ordinance No. 1544 for the Orland Fire Protection District Training Facility is hereby granted in the form of a special use for planned development to permit multiple buildings on a single lot with modifications to permit a front setback of 37.5 feet and to permit parking between the building front and the street, subject to the conditions below on the Subject Property legally described below:
