Body
WHEREAS, the Village of Orland Park (the “Village”) desires to encourage occupancy and utilization of vacant/abandoned commercial property in the Village; and
WHEREAS, the Cook County Assessor is operating under the Cook County Real Property Classification Ordinance (the “Ordinance”) enacted by the Cook County Board of Commissioners, as amended from time to time, which provides commercial property owners, in certain cases, with a reduction in the assessed valuation of commercial property in order to induce the occupancy and utilization of commercial property that is vacant (except for structures in disrepair) and has been abandoned for at least 12 months; and
WHEREAS, DRAGO K. GLAVAC, on behalf of VODA CAR WASH, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (the “Applicant”), has applied, or is applying, for renewal of the Class 7c Classification under the Ordinance originally supported by the Village pursuant to Resolution No. 2027 adopted June 6, 2020, and has proven to the President and Board of Trustees of the Village (the “Village Board”) that such Class 7c Classification is necessary to encourage improvement and occupancy of the specific vacant and abandoned real estate identified below (the “Subject Property”); and
WHEREAS, the Village Board supports and consents to the filing of a Class 7c Classification renewal application by the Applicant, with the understanding that any occupant of the Subject Property must meet the Class 7c Classification qualifications for commercial property; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant has provided an Economic Disclosure Statement to the Village of Orland Park; and
WHEREAS, the Village Board has determined that the renewal of the Class 7c Classification to the Applicant, for the Subject Property, would be beneficial to the Village and its economy;
