Petitioner Chaiyut Puangkham
Purpose The petitioner requests an amendment to an existing special use permit to operate a full service restaurant with patron seating, in an existing tenant space in the County West Plaza shopping center.
Project Attributes
Location: 15880 S. Wolf Road
Size: The full service restaurant will be located in a 2,200 square foot tenant space and will offer dine-in and carry-out options. The existing shopping center is an approximately 18,000 square foot building on a 2.4 acre site.
Existing Zoning & Land Use: BIZ General Business District / Commercial strip center
PROJECT DESCRIPTION & CONTEXT
The petitioner is proposing to operate a full service restaurant in the existing “County West Plaza” commercial strip center located at the northwest corner of 159th Street and Wolf Road in the former 'Chicago Taste Gyros' space in the southernmost corner tenant unit. The strip center has ten tenant spaces including three other restaurants. The petitioner plans on offering dine-in, carry-out, and delivery options, although delivery will not be offered immediately. The petitioner also intends on remodeling the interior of the space and will include patron seating which must comply with the permitting and approval process, including separate male and female restrooms that are required per State of Illinois Code. Other than a new wall sign, no changes are proposed to the exterior of the building or to the site.
The restaurant requires a Special Use Permit because it is located within 300' of a residential parcel, in this case single family homes that are located to the rear of the County West Plaza parcel in unincorporated Cook County. The existing Special Use Permit, approved by Ordinance 4554 in March 2010, must be amended because it is limited to carry out only.
