The opportunity to speak to the Development Committee is provided for those who have a
question or comment on an agenda item or a City of West Chicago issue. The Development
Committee appreciates hearing from our residents and your thoughts and questions are
valued. The Development Committee strives to make the best recommendations for the
City and public input is very helpful.
Respect for the duties of the Development Committee and for the democratic process will
be adhered to — in this regard, civility and a sense of decorum will be strictly followed. All
speakers must address their comments to the Chairperson. Comments that are personally
condescending will not be permitted. Speakers shall be courteous and should not make
statements that are personally disrespectful to members of the Development Committee or
City staff.
Please use the podium in the center aisle. Please announce your name and address (if
acceptable) before commencing — all public comments are limited to three (3) minutes and
each citizen will be permitted to speak only once. It is the Development Committee’s
policy not to engage in dialogue during Public Comment. Any questions raised will be
addressed by City staff or an elected official outside of the Development Committee
meeting.
4 Items for Consent
A. 1200 N. Prince Crossing Road — Forming America, Ltd., at 1200 North Prince
Crossing Road, intends on expanding their outside storage. To accomplish this, the
property requires a sixth amendment to their Special Use Permit, plus a Lot
Consolidation. This would expand to an area deleted just last year when they
concluded they would not require the area for storage, which was included in their
stormwater efforts, so no additional stormwater work is needed. Plan Commission
members voted unanimously in favor of both the Ordinance and the Resolution.

B. 1307S. Neltnor Blvd. — In 2023, SRH Properties, LLC acquired the property of the
former Shell gas station, which closed in 2022. The property owner intends to replace
all structures on the current property with a new Shell station and convenience store.
To accomplish this, a third amendment to the Special Use Permit for this property is
required. Plan Commission members voted unanimously in support of the Ordinance.
C. 100 Hahndorf Street — The Kitchen Table has petitioned the City for approval of a
Special Use Permit to allow a school in the R-6 District. A School, which is allowed
in the District, requires a Special Use Permit. No site and exterior improvements are
being sought. Given their proposed operation, there exists adequate parking. The
petitioners will not live on the property. Plan Commission members voted
unanimously in support of the Ordinance.
D. Trillium Farm Variances and Map Amendment — The Trillium Farm Residential
Subdivision consists of 84 residence lots and was annexed to the City of West
Chicago on August 19, 2024. When properties are annexed to the City they are
automatically given an ER-1 Estate Residence label; however, given the density and
type of homes and properties, Trillium Farm should more accurately be designated as
R-5 Single-Family Residence. This change requires a Zoning Map Amendment. The
Staff report details the variances required once granted the R-5 District classification.
Plan Commission members voted unanimously in support of the Map Amendment
and the Variances.
