Paradise Spa, LLC requests approval of a Special Use Permit for a Recreational Facility to provide
therapeutic sauna/spa services at 956 N Neltnor Boulevard, Unit 318, in the Tower Station commer-
cial development known as “Paradise Spa”. The operation will consist of a wet, dry, and steam sauna,
as well as hot tubs and cold tubs. Changing rooms and restrooms will be incorporated within the
space. The hours of operation will be Monday through Thursday, 2:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. and Friday
through Sunday 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. This type of use is considered a Recreational Facility and
requires approval of a Special Use Permit in the B-2 General Business District.
The petitioner is not proposing any site improvements nor significant changes to the exterior. The
parking requirement for a Recreational Facility, such as the proposed use, of four (4) parking stalls
per 1,000 square feet of floor area is typical for a commercial development, such as Tower Station.
The proposed use will therefore not create a strain on the existing parking.
The petitioner also intends to operate a separate restaurant, to be called West Chicago Tavern, in a
separate commercial space immediately adjacent to the subject commercial space. The use of a res-
taurant is a permitted use in the B-2 District and does not require approval of a Special Use Permit to
operate.
The Plan Commissioners voted unanimously (6-0) to recommend approval of the requested Special
Use Permit.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Discussion and consideration of the requested Special Use Permit.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
Committee members voted unanimously (5-0) in favor of recommending the Special Use Permit for
Paradise Spa.
