Title/Name/Summary
Assumption Greek Orthodox Church - Special Use Permit Extension
History
In 2010 the Village Board granted a temporary two-year Special Use Permit for Assumption Greek Orthodox Church to operate a place of worship in the Orland Park Business Center while the church searched for a permanent home. Since that time, the church has secured property in Homer Glen and received local zoning approvals to construct a permanent church home. The Homer Glen Village Board approved the zoning and a lot coverage variance for the new church facility to be constructed at 14259 W. 143rd Street on February 14, 2012. The Special Use Permit for the current Orland Park location expires June 2010, and the church is now requesting a one year extension so they can remain in the current location while the new church is constructed.
The Orland Park Business Center is located in the ORI Mixed Use District, which is intended primarily for employment-generating, office, research and light manufacturing uses, which was the reason the two year limit was imposed.
On June 8, 2010, the Village Board approved an Ordinance granting a special use to Assumption Greek Orthodox Church, 11411 W. 183rd Street, for the operation of a 4,453 square foot place of worship in a unit of the existing Orland Park Business Center on the Subject Property with the following conditions:
1. That all new signage is approved through a separate permitting process.
2. That this special use expires two years from the date of passage of the Ordinance.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the request of the petitioner and grant a one year Special Use Permit extension for Greek Orthodox Church that will expire June 8, 2013.
