Requested Action: The Village of Orland Park seeks approval of a zoning map amendment for the Sportsplex located at 11351 West 159th Street. The request would rezone the subject site from E-1 Estate Residential to OS Open Space to align the zoning designation with the existing and intended public recreational use of the property.
PROPOSED ZONING MAP AMENDMENT
The Village of Orland Park is proposing a zoning map amendment to rezone the Orland Park Sportsplex property from E-1 Estate Residential to OS Open Space. The Sportsplex, which opened in 2002, is a recreational and community facility serving residents throughout the Village. This rezoning will formally align the property’s zoning designation with its long-standing public use, ensure consistency with the Village’s land use and zoning framework, and preserve the site for continued recreational and civic purposes.
The Open Space (OS) District is intended to protect and preserve parks, natural areas, retention and detention basins, civic and fraternal non-profit organizations, and open space corridor connections. It also ensures permanent access to outdoor recreation and natural areas, enhancing neighborhood value and maintaining recreational opportunities for residents.
The Open Space Zoning for this property will provide the flexibility needed to accommodate future improvements and enhancements at the Sportsplex, ensuring that the facility continues to meet community needs.
