ITEM SUMMARY:
Abundantia Investments, LLC, represented by Walter Lang, is proposing to develop the vacant 2.19-
acre tract of land at the northeast corner of Roosevelt Road and IL Route 59 with luxury car
condominiums. The petitioner intends to construct five (5) buildings containing a mix of one and two
car garages. The concept of these garages is to give a place for car enthusiasts a place to keep their
vehicles. The development is not intended to be used to rent out units for self-storage, which is
permitted only in the M Manufacturing District and only as a Special Use.
The property is located in the B-2 General Business District and the City’s B-2 District does not
contain a use category, Permitted or Special, which would allow the proposed development. The
petitioner is therefore seeking approval of a Zoning Text Amendment that would amend the text of the
Zoning Code to include the use of a “Private Garage Vehicle Condominium” as a Special Use in the
B-2 District. The petitioner sought feedback on the concept from the Development Committee in
November of 2019 and Aldermen were supportive of the proposal.
If the Zoning Text Amendment is approved by the City Council, the petitioner will proceed with a
public hearing at a later date to review the proposal for the Special Use Permit for the development
and operation of the site as a Private Garage Vehicle Condominium.
At its December 1, 2020 meeting, the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals (PC/ZBA)
conducted a public hearing to consider the proposed text amendment. Members voted unanimously
6-0) in favor of recommending the Text Amendment.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Consideration of the proposed Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to Articles IV and X of the Zoning
Code to create and define the use of a “Private Garage Vehicle Condominium and include such use
as a Special Use in the B-2 General Business District.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
At their December 14, 2020 meeting, Development Committee members voted unanimously (7-0) in
favor of the Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to Articles IV and X of the Zoning Ordinance to define
the use of a “Private Garage Vehicle Condominium and include such use as a Special Use in the B-2
General Business District.
