WHEREAS, said Plan Commission of this Village held a public hearing on August 11, 2015, on whether the requested amendment to a special use permit 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 the initial public hearing by publication not more than 30 days nor less than 15 days prior to said meeting in the Orland Park Prairie, a newspaper published in and/or 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 amendment to a special use permit be granted with this President and Board of Trustees, 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 report and findings and recommendations of the Plan Commission of this Village regarding the proposed special use is herein incorporated by reference as the findings of this President 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 find that the proposed amendment to a 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 Code as set forth in Section 1-102 thereof. Said amendment to a special use is also in accordance with the provi-sions of the Comprehensive 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 amendment to a special use permit for a place of worship as follows:
A. The Subject Property contains approximately 31.2 acres and is generally located south of the southwest corner of 159th Street and 104th Avenue at 16100 South 104th Avenue within the Village of Orland Park in Cook County, Illinois. The Subject Property contains a two-story place of worship containing a 900 seat assembly room with a stage, classrooms, and administrative space, having a total of approximately 45,000 square feet in the E-1 Estate Residential District with on-site parking for 275 vehicles and detention and a conservation easement. After the initial special use permit was approved, petitioner constructed a parking lot expansion to the west of the site with additional parking spaces. The petitioner did not apply for a special use amendment at that time and the parking lot was constructed without meeting Village requirements.
B. The Subject Property is the subject of Special Use Ordinance Number 4617.
C. Petitioner requests an amendment to the special use permit to allow the parking lot expansion and installation of a right-turn lane onto 104th Avenue and a modification to permit the number of parking spaces to exceed the Code limitation of 20% above Code requirements to 33% above Code requirements. The modification for the number of parking spaces is based on the needs of the church since the building was constructed in recent years.
D. The proposed use of the Subject Property is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and standards of the Comprehensive Plan, any adopted overlay plan and the Code. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Community and Institutional.
E. The proposed amendment to a special use and development of the Subject Property will be consistent with the character of the immediate vicinity of the Subject Property. Property to the north is zoned Open Lands District and contains Centennial Park. Property to the south and west is zoned Manufacturing District and contains an industrial park. Property to the east is zoned Open Lands District and contains a cemetery. A place of worship is appropriate in such an area.
F. The proposed use of the Subject Property minimizes adverse effects, including visual impacts, on adjacent properties. The proposed amendment to a special use will not adversely affect the value of adjacent property. In addition, a landscape plan is required to minimize adverse visual impact.
G. The petitioner has demonstrated that public facilities and services, including but not limited to roadways, police and fire protection, hospital and medical services, drainage systems, refuse disposal, water and sewers, will be capable of serving the amendment to a special use at an adequate level of service. Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress so designed to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. The entrances and exits will comply with all applicable requirements, and internal traffic is adequately provided for. The addition of a right-turn lane exiting on to 104th Avenue will help to address egress from the parking lot and will improve emergency access.
H. Petitioner has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision and development of any open space and other improvements associated with the proposed development. The Petitioner has agreed to provide a conservation easement for portions of the Subject Property.
I. The proposed amendment to a special use does not adversely affect a known archaeological, historical or cultural resource.
J. The proposed amendment to a special use shall comply with all additional standards imposed on it by all other applicable requirements of the ordinances of the Village. Granting the requested modification will enhance the ability of the proposed amendment to a special use to meet the general standards for all special uses set out in Section 5-105(E) of the Land Development Code.
SECTION 3
