ITEM SUMMARY:
West Chicago School District 33 is proposing to construct an 18-stall parking lot on the east side of the
existing school building. Access onto Kenwood Avenue and Brown Street will be installed to serve the
parking. The existing parking lot on the east side of the building will be reconfigured to primarily serve
as a dedicated drop-off lane. The location and dimensions of the proposed parking lot comply with
Zoning Code.
The property is in the ER-1 Estate Residence District, which does not permit a school, neither by right
nor by special use. The Petitioner is therefore seeking to rezone the property to the R-5 Single-Family
Residential District, which is consistent with vast majority of properties in the area. The Petitioner is
also seeking to formally obtain a Special Use Permit for the continuation of the use of a school on the
property.
At their November 6' meeting, members of the Plan Commission voted unanimously (4-0, with three
absent) in support of the proposed Zoning Map Amendment and the proposed Special Use Permit.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Discuss and recommend approval of the proposed Zoning Map Amendment and the proposed Special
Use Permit.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
Development Committee members voted 5-0, plus one abstention, in support of the Zoning Map
Amendment and Special Use Permit.
Attachments: Draft Ordinance
