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 special use for planned development is in the public good and in the best interests of the Village and its residents, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan of the Village, and is consistent with and fosters 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 special use permit for planned development on property proposed to be rezoned to VCD Village Center District as follows:
(a) The Subject Property is located within the Village of Orland Park in Cook County, at 9788-90 W. 151st Street and is currently VCD Village Center District and OS Open Space District. It is an approximately 2.0-acre site.
(b) Specifically, Petitioner, Orland Fire Protection District, proposes to construct, operate and maintain a 8,685 square foot addition to the existing Orland Fire Protection District 13,334 square foot Administration Building and 9,962 square foot Fire Station Number 1 and to obtain a special use for a planned development. Petitioner is seeking to rezone the approximately 15,400 square feet (.35 acres) of the Subject Property from OS Open Space to VCD Village Center District.
(c) Petitioner also requests several modifications. The first modification is to reduce the required number of parking spaces from 93 spaces to 69 spaces. This modification is requested due to spatial limitations. The petitioner will be required to enter into a shared parking agreement with neighboring properties in order to increase the parking available.
(d) The next modification is requested to reduce the required amount of parking lot landscape islands from ten (10) to five (5). This modification is requested due to the spatial limitations of the site.
(e) The next modification is to reduce the widths of the required landscape bufferyards on the east and north sides of the Subject Property from fifteen (15) feet to ten (10) feet and to reduce the west bufferyard from fifteen (15) feet to three (3) feet, gradually increasing to fifteen (15) feet at the midpoint between the parking lot landscape island the 3 foot dimension. New landscaping areas will be provided on the east and west sides of the Administration Building, on the east side of the new building, on the east side of the Fire Station, on the east lawn area in front of the Fire Station, on the north side of the Administration building and along the north bufferyard of the acquired parcel of land. This modification is requested to continue the necessary drive aisles around the Administration Building and parking along the east and north property lines.
(f) The last modification is to reduce the west parking lot setback from ten (10) feet to three (3) feet gradually increasing to fifteen (15) feet at the midpoint between the parking lot landscape island and the 3 foot dimension. This modification relates to the landscape bufferyard modification.
(g) Granting the requested modifications will enhance the ability of the proposed special use to meet the general standards for all special uses set out in Section 5-105(E) of the Land Development Code.
(h) Rezoning of part of the Subject Property from OS to VCD is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan which shows this location as Community Intensity Commercial/Office and is in the best interests of the Village and its residents. The rezoning will not diminish property values because the use of the site as a whole remains the same.
(i) The proposed special use for planned development is consistent with the character of the immediate vicinity of the Subject Property. The surrounding property is zoned OS Open Space on the north, VC Village Center on the south and east and R-3A Residential on the west. Surrounding properties include the Orland Park Police Headquarters, office condominiums, single family homes and wetlands. A governmental use is a permitted use in the VCD Village Center District, and a planned development that includes office and Fire Station uses is consistent with these surrounding uses.
(j) The special use 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 Community Intensity Commercial/Office. The proposed addition to the Administration Building and Fire Station will be consistent with this designation. The new building and site expansion reduces the net lot coverage by approximately 8%, improves parking conditions and traffic circulation on the Subject Property and also improves pedestrian accessibility to the Subject Property.
(k) The design of the proposed special use will minimize any adverse effects, including visual impacts, on adjacent properties. It has been designed to blend in with the existing facilities and to add landscaping to further minimize any potential adverse impacts on adjacent properties.
(l) 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 special use at an adequate level of service.
(m) 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.
(n) The development will not adversely affect a known archaeological, historical or cultural resource.
(o) The special use 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.
