WHEREAS, a public notice in the form required by law was given of said public hearing by publication not more than 30 days nor less than 15 days prior to said hearing in the Orland Park Prairie, a newspaper of general circulation in this Village; and
WHEREAS, the Plan Commission of this Village has filed its report of findings and recommendations that the requested special use be granted with this President and Board of Trustees, and this Board of Trustees have 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 of this Village has made its report of findings and recommendations regarding the proposed special use. The findings of the Plan Commis-sion are herein incorporated by reference as the findings of this Presi-dent and Board of Trustees, as completely as if fully recited herein at length. All exhibits submitted at the aforesaid public hearings are also hereby incorporated by reference as fully as if attached hereto. This President and Board of Trustees further finds that the proposed special use is in the public good and in the best interests of the Village and its residents and is consistent with and fosters the purposes and spirit of the Orland Park Land Development Code as set forth in Section 1-102 thereof. Said special use is also in accordance with the provi-sions of the Compre-hensive Land Use Plan of the Village.
SECTION 2
In addition to the findings set forth in Section 1 hereof, this Board of Trustees further finds, in relation to the proposed special use permit for a fitness center, as follows:
(a) The subject property is located at 9050 W. 159th Street in the existing Park Hill Commons Shopping Center within the Village of Orland Park in Cook County, Illinois. The proposal is to locate a 7,271 square foot fitness center in an existing building of the existing shopping center located on the 4.4-acre site with no exterior changes to the building or parking area. The Subject Property is zoned BIZ General Business District. Health clubs and fitness centers are a special use in the BIZ District if they exceed 5,000 square feet.
(b) The proposed development is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and standards of the Com-prehensive Plan, any adopted overlay plan and the Land Development Code. The Comprehen-sive Plan designates this area for Local Commercial. A fitness center is appropriate in such an area.
(c) The proposed development will be consistent with the character of the immediate vicinity of the subject property, which is presently zoned BIZ General Business District to the north, east and west, where commercial retail uses and a day care center are located. The property to the south (across 159th Street) contains a church and is located in Orland Hills.
(d) The design of the development will minimize adverse effects, including visual impacts, on adjacent properties because there will be no change in the exterior of the building. The proposed development will not adversely affect the value of adjacent property. The retail center is designed to accommodate uses like this. Taking into consideration the restaurant and other retail spaces in the shopping center, 84% of the required parking spaces are provided. Parking should be adequate due to the fact that the other uses have different peak hours than the proposed fitness center. As a result, there should be no impact on accessibility to adjacent properties. There will be no adverse effect on the value of adjacent property.
(e) The Petitioner has demonstrated that public facilities and services, including but not limited to roadways, park facilities, police and fire 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. Park Hill Commons Shopping Center is generally located along 159th Street and Park Hill Drive. Access to the site is available from Park Hill Drive, which connects to 159th Street at a signalized intersection. Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress so designed to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets.
(f) Petitioner has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision and development of any open space and other improvements associated with the proposed development.
(g) The development will not adversely affect a known archaeological, historical or cultural resource.
(h) The proposed development shall comply with all additional standards imposed on it by all other applicable require-ments of the ordinances and regulations of the Village.
SECTION 3
A special use for the operation of a 7,271 square foot fitness center at 9050 W. 159th Street in an existing building on a 4.4-acre parcel at Park Hill Commons in the BIZ General Business District is hereby granted, subject to the conditions below, and issued to L.A. Boxing, for the following described property:
