BACKGROUND
The subject property is located on one of the outlots within the Orland Square Mall Planned Development. The Special Use Permit for Orland Square was approved by the Board of Trustees on November 8, 1971 by Ordinance No. 468. The site was formerly occupied by Toys R Us and has been vacant since 2018 after the store closed.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The petitioner proposes to demolish the existing 44,200 square foot building formerly occupied by Toys R Us and redevelop the site with three (3) new buildings on a 4.9 acre site located at 45 Orland Square Drive. The existing lot will be subdivided into three (3) lots to accommodate each building.
The proposed project requires approval of a Site Plan, Landscape Plan, Elevations, Subdivision, Special Use Permit Amendment to the Orland Square Planned Development (Ordinance No. 468) and to allow for two (2) restaurants with drive-through facilities in the COR Mixed Use District. The petitioner requests approval of the following modifications:
1. A modification to locate a drive-through facility and parking lots within the setback area between the building façade and the street (Section 6-210.F.4)
With the exception of the requested modifications, the project conforms to the Village’s Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Codes and policies for this area.
