ITEM SUMMARY:
Ball Horticultural is requesting two items, (1) a Plat of Consolidation and (2) an Amendment to the Pre-
liminary and Final PUD, for their headquarters at 622 Town Road. Although this requires two separate
votes, a single Item Summary was prepared.
The project represents a significant investment and expansion of their research and development ac-
tivities in West Chicago. It includes a 30,300 square foot innovation center, a 4,056 square foot addi-
tion to an existing maintenance and grounds building, a 3,492 square foot addition to an existing head
house, and a new Quonset complex consisting of six structures totaling 17,280 square feet. To ac-
complish this an Amendment to the Preliminary and Final PUD is required along with a Plat of Consoli-
dation. As part of the Plat of Consolidation, a 33 foot prescriptive right-of-way west of the centerline of
Town Road will be dedicated, to match the dedicated right-of-way on the east half of Town Road.
Once completed Ball’s headquarters will contain about 90,000 square feet of office space. The proper-
ty provides more than the required number of parking spaces. Ball will also provide substantial land-
scaping around the innovation center, which has significant amounts of glazing to create and open-air
feel to the interior.
At the Plan Commission’s November 5, 2019, meeting, members voted unanimously (5-0) in support
of both agenda items.
