PROJECT DESCRIPTION & CONTEXT
The petitioner is requesting a special use permit amendment to expand an existing restaurant located at 11969 W. 143rd Street into a portion of an adjacent vacant tenant space located at 11975 W. 143rd Street. While only 900 square feet of the adjacent 2,110 square foot tenant space will be occupied by the proposed expansion, this special use permit amendment will apply to the entirety of that tenant space. This proposal will lead to an increase in land use intensity by adding an additional restaurant space to the Pinewood Plaza Shopping Center; space that was previously used for on-site academic tutoring.
Paddy B’s Restaurant is required to obtain the approval of a special use amendment because it is located within 300 feet of a residential parcel (Section 6-207.C.20). Five (5) residential parcels are located within 300 feet of the proposed restaurant expansion. The residential parcels are all located in the Pinewood Subdivision, an unincorporated area of Orland Park consisting of single-family homes. The rear alley of the proposed restaurant expansion would sit adjacent to the property line of some of these residential parcels, separated by an approximately 15 foot turf buffer area and 8 foot tall wooden privacy fence.
The proposed 900 square foot expansion will be created by removing a partition wall located along the west side of Paddy P’s existing footprint, and then building a new partition wall approximately 17 feet inside the 11975 unit. The space created by this expansion will include an additional seating area and a storage area for kitchen supplies. The expanded seating area will allow for eight (8) more tables and thirty-two (32) more chairs. The kitchen storage area will include additional freezers and refrigerators, as well general storage space. An existing accessible restroom will also be incorporated into the expansion. No cooking will take place in the new expansion area. Restaurant hours will remain unchanged (11am until 2am, seven days a week).
This petitioner has not requested any variances or modifications for this project.
The motion includes the following conditions:
1. That the Petitioner comply with all Building and Health Code requirements; and
2. That all new signage is approved through a separate permitting process.
Overall, the project conforms to the Village’s Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Codes and policies for this area.
Additional details about the project are discussed in the Plan Commission report, which is attached for reference.
