The report and findings and recommendations of the Plan Commission of this Village regarding the proposed special use and amended special use permit 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 special use and amended 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 special use is also in accordance with the provi-sions of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan of the Village.

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 and amended special use permit for a place of worship as follows:
A. The Subject Property (Parcels 1 and 2 described below) contains approximately 6.46 acres and is located within the Village of Orland Park in Cook County, Illinois, generally at 16530 S. 104th Avenue. The Subject Property has been partially improved with a 22,700 square foot prayer center with a basement on 4.27 acres (Parcel 1 described below) of the 6.46 acre parcel with on-site parking and detention.
B. Petitioner has caused the remaining 2.19 acres of the Subject Property (Parcel 2 described below) to be annexed to the Village whereupon said Parcel 2 was rezoned E-1 Estate Residential. Petitioner now proposes to expand the parking lot serving the Orland Park Prayer Center (said parking lot located primarily on Parcel 2) from 123 spaces to 338 spaces and to redesign and reshape the existing stormwater detention pond at its present location on the Subject Property.

The Orland Park Prayer Center is located on Parcel 1 to the north of Parcel 2.
E. The proposed use of the Subject Property minimizes adverse effects, including visual impacts, on adjacent properties. The proposed special use and amended special use will not adversely affect the value of adjacent property.
F. 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 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.
G. Petitioner has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision and development of any open space and other improvements associated with the proposed development.
H. The proposed special use and amended special use does not adversely affect a known archaeological, historical or cultural resource.
I. The proposed special use and amended special use shall comply with all additional standards imposed on it by all other applicable requirements of the ordinances of the Village.
