ITEM SUMMARY:
Scannell Properties, d/b/a Scannell Properties #371 LLC, requests approval of two variances to allow
construction of a speculative cross-docked distribution center, along with related site improvements,
at 555 Innovation Drive in the DuPage Business Center. The warehouse will be 250,000 square feet
and oriented to provide up to 54 total loading docks on the Roosevelt Road and the Innovation Drive
sides of the building. See the attached site plan.
The variances, if granted, would allow loading areas between the building and Innovation Drive and
loading areas between the building and Roosevelt Road (per Section 10.5-4(B)(1). The variances
would also allow loading areas to be located closer to Innovation Drive and Roosevelt Road than the
respective south and north facades of the building.
There are several conditions associated with development:
1. The height of the proposed berm along the north lot shall be increased to be no less than 15
feet above the elevation of Roosevelt Road adjacent to the property.
2. No trucks and trailers shall be parked or stored overnight anywhere in front of the building other
than trailers docked to the building.
3. Overnight parking of trucks and trailers shall occur only in the designated truck parking stalls in
the rear of the building.
4. A landscape inspection by City staff shall occur on the property within seven (7) days of com-
pleted installation. If, in the opinion of City staff, the installed landscaping does not fully screen
the docks and truck and trailer parking area along Roosevelt Road then the petitioner shall in-
stall additional landscaping subject to approval by City staff.
5. If it is determined by staff that the parapet wall does not adequately screen rooftop mechanical
units then individual screening shall be installed around the visible unit(s) to prevent view from
Roosevelt Road.
The property is zoned A, Airport and is subject to both City and DuPage Airport Authority rules and
regulations.
