SECTION 1
The Plan Commission of this Village has made its report of findings and recommendations regarding the proposed amended special use permit for a Planned Development with modification. 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 amended special use permit a with modification and Certificate of Appropriateness 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 amended special use for a Planned Development is also in accordance with the provisions of the Compre-hensive Land Use Plan of the Village, which designates the site at 14700 S. Ravinia Avenue (“Subject Property”) as “Community and Institutional”.
SECTION 2
In addition to the findings set forth in Section 1 hereof, this Board of Trustees further finds, in relation to the proposed amended special use for a Planned Development to allow for updates to the Village Center parking lots, an updated Village Hall entry plaza, improvements to the campus-wide Pedestrian circulation , the installation of two (2) “green” roofs at the Village Hall and creation of a Village Center master landscape plan in the VC Village Center Zoning District with a modification and Certificate of Appropriateness as follows:
(a) The Subject Property is located at 14700 S. Ravinia Avenue within the Village and the proposal is to develop the Village Center Campus (which includes the Frederick T. Owens Village Hall, William R. Vogel Civic Center, the Franklin E. Loebe Recreation Center and the Ara Pace Veteran’s Memorial) as a Planned Development to cause improvements to the Village Center parking lots, improve pedestrian circulation, the installation of two (2) “green” roofs at the Village Hall and implement a master landscape plan.
(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 as “Community and Institutional”, and the Subject Property is located in the VC Village Center Zoning District. The Subject Property will fulfill the VC Village Center District’s established principles by creating a mixed use walkable neighborhood in the heart of the Village and to ensure that the District will create a unique pedestrian scale and civic character.
(c) The proposed development will be consistent with the character of the immediate vicinity of the Subject Property, i.e., to the north is the Village Recreation Administration building; to the south is undeveloped forest and marsh land;; to the east is vacant and to the west is the Franklin Loebe Recreation center.
(d) The design of the development will minimize adverse effects. The proposed site plan demonstrates the safety and access benefits of improvements to existing parking including new lighting as well as improved pedestrian circulation and environmental benefits resulting from the “green” roof system.
(e) There will be no adverse effects on the value of adjacent property. The Subject Property is currently improved with Village governmental buildings and related parking, and this amended special use planned development will facilitate new landscaping on and around the Subject Property, and will have entry plaza and improve parking and update the Village pedestrian access and circulation.
(f) 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 will be capable of serving the amended special use at an adequate level of service. All utilities are accounted for and can accommodate the proposed development layout. Specifically, adequate capacity for sanitary and water service is available on site, the storm water management system campus has adequate capacity to service the development improvements.
(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 development will not adversely affect a known archaeological, historical or cultural resource.
(i) 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.
