EXHIBIT “B”
RECOMMENDATION 2024-0-0010
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: PC 24-12
100 Hahndorf Street
Special Use Permit for a School
DATE: September 4, 2024
DECISION: The motion to approve the special use permit unanimously passed (5-0).
RECOMMENDATION
After review of the requested special use amendment, the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of
Appeals (PC/ZBA) recommended approval. After review of the requested special use permit, the
Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals (PC/ZBA) recommended approval according to the
following findings of fact:
(A) Is necessary for the public convenience at the location or, the case of existing
nonconforming uses, a special use permit will make the use more compatible with its
surroundings. ***This standard should be interpreted as indicating whether or not the
proposed use is good for the public at that particular physical location, and not whether or
not the use itself is needed there***
The proposed use as a School for small training classes at the location is ideal fronting a major
commercial thoroughfare such as Illinois Route 59. Staff is of the opinion the petitioner_has
satisfied this finding.
(B) Is so designed, located and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety and
welfare will be protected:
The proposed school use will be relatively consistent with the former office use that has taken
place on the property for several decades. No site modifications are proposed that would
negatively impact any adjacent properties. Staff is of the opinion the petitioner has satisfied
this finding.
(C) Will not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in
which it is located:
The proposed use of the property will not change significantly. The site and building will remain
unchanged to keep the existing residential appearance and character of the property. Staff is of the
opinion the petitioner has satisfied this finding.

district in which the property in question is located:
A school is listed as a special use in the R-6 Multiple-Family District, per Section 9.7-4 (A) of
the West Chicago Zoning Code. Staff is of the opinion the petitioner has satisfied this finding.
