Proposed Extension to an Approved Special Use for a
Planned Unit Development FILE NUMBER:
Renaissance Square Assisted Living Facility

COUNCIL AGENDA DATE:
Ordinance No. 20-O0-0025
STAFF REVIEW: Tom Dabareiner, AICP SIGNATURE
APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR: Michael Guttman SIGNATURE
ITEM SUMMARY:
On September 17, 2012 the City Council approved Ordinance No. 12-O-0038 which granted a Special Use for a
Final Planned Unit Development for the Renaissance Square development on Joliet Road. The petitioner, Ron
D’Aversa of Central Development Corporation, received approval to develop a multi-phased senior living facility.
Construction on the project has not yet begun and Section 15.5 of the Zoning Code requires that a special use for
a planned unit development start construction within one (1) year of the final plan approval. The special use
approved for the planned unit development has thus expired.
The petitioner has a desire to continue moving forward with the development of the property for the multi-phased
senior living facility and has provided a written request to staff for an extension. Section 5.5-8 of the Zoning Code
provides the City Council the ability to grant extensions to expired Special Uses. There are no specific
requirements as to when a request shall be made in relation to the expiration date of the special use. The
petitioner has indicated that they will be able to begin site work within the next sixty (60) days. The estimated
timeframe from start of construction to Certificate of Occupancy is eighteen (18) months. The petitioner indicated
that there was an unexpected 2.5 year delay in the initial closing of the land purchase which resulted in the
petitioner not acquiring the property until 2015. Following closing, the petitioner updated their previous due
diligence with respect to market studies, appraisals, and financing arrangements.
Staff recommends that the approval for the Special Use for the Planned Unit Development be extended for an
additional eighteen (18) months to allow enough time at the beginning of the 2021 construction season to initiate
and complete the work.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Approve the proposed extension to the approved Special Use for a Final Planned Unit Development.

Mr. Tom Dabareiner
Community Development Director
City of West Chicago
Mr. Dabareiner,
As you are aware the Renaissance Square Assisted Living PUD was approved in September 2012. There
have been numerous reasons why the project groundbreaking and start of construction has not yet
taken place.
First and foremost, there was a delay in the initial closing of the land purchase transferring ownership
from Wycliffe Bible Translators to Renaissance Square LLC. This unexpected 2.5-year delay in closing
was not completed until early in 2015. Once the initial land closing had occurred it was time to update
all our previous due diligence as it relates to Market Studies, Appraisals, and Financing arrangements
with our Equity Partners and Banks.
Searching for and ultimately choosing the Assisted Living Business Operator did not come without its
challenges. The Senior Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care market over the last few years has
constantly changed and continues to do so. We have certainly seen in 2020 with Covid 19 the need for
qualified operators but also one that has special and magnified effort in occupant as well as workplace
safety. This was a very timely process choosing an operator whose current track record is exceptional in
the areas of Health and Safety.
We have now completed all due diligence to include final market studies and appraisals that are
satisfactory with our equity partners and lenders. Our operator has been chosen and we have a comfort
level as owners of his qualifications to operate a successful and safe service care facility especially in
these trying times of the Covid 19 Pandemic. With all pieces now in place we are anticipating our
construction loan closing within the next 30-60 days. With financing and closing completed we would
also anticipate, weather permitting, groundbreaking for site development within the next 60 days.
Please note, that all plans for the Renaissance Square Assisted Living PUD have remained the same. It is
our goal to proceed with the Phase 1 Assisted Living Building and corresponding Site Development as
soon as practical now that our financing and closing are in sight. Construction timing of Phase 1 is
anticipated to be approximately 18 months from start to Certificate of Occupancy.
With all being set to finally move forward with the Renaissance Square Assisted Living Project, | would
respectfully request an extension of the previously approved 2012 Renaissance Square PUD from the

benefit to the residence of the City of West Chicago as well. Please let me know if | can provide you with
any further assistance to achieve this PUD extension.
