PROJECT DESCRIPTION & CONTEXT
Completed in 1989, the Village Hall was designated as a landmark structure. Any exterior work completed requires Plan Commission and Board of Trustees approval.
The Village of Orland Park installed a natural gas standby generator in the rear of the campus. The generator is capable of suppling Village Hall with enough energy to function normally in the case of a power outage, including critical hardwired systems like HVAC, computer, and security systems. With the installation of the generator, screening is required and is being proposed through this petition.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Downtown Orland Park is centered around the LaGrange Road and 143rd Street intersection and served by the 143rd Street Metra station. The Downtown is separated into four Character Districts, each with a distinct identity, but all integrated via a well-connected transportation network. This area is envisioned to become the heart of Orland Park, with a unique sense of place and an emphasis on walkability and pedestrian scale. Civic buildings and open spaces will continue to be the focal points in the district.
