APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR: Michael Guttman SIGNATURE
ITEM SUMMARY:
Frain Industries, a processing and packaging equipment supplier, proposes to store roofing materials
on pallets outside the building at 800 W Washington Street in a paved area where the truck/trailer
parking formerly occurred. The subject property is roughly 38 acres with frontage on Town Road and
West Washington Street in the M Manufacturing District. The property contains a 345,000 square foot
industrial building that was previously used by General Mills. The petitioner has been using it for
warehousing of products. The property has a large, fenced-in paved area on the west side of the
building that was previously used for trailer parking associated with General Mills.
The storage area would be limited to an area of 50’ X 160’, occupying approximately 20 trailer stalls,
which are not needed by Frain. If approved, the roofing materials will be stored outside temporarily until
they are brought inside to be unpackaged, sorted, and then repackaged and loaded onto a truck for
delivery. No other machinery or equipment is proposed to be stored outside, only the roofing materials.
The storage will be contained on a hard surface, as required by the Zoning Code. The petitioner will be
adding an 8-foot tall privacy fencing on the west and north property lines. The building will screen the
storage on the east side and the storage area is not visible from the south because of extensive tree
coverage.
At their April 2, 2025 meeting, members of the Plan Commission voted unanimously (5-0, with two
absent) in support of the proposed Special Use Permit.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Discuss and recommend approval of the proposed Special Use Permit for ancillary outside storage at
800 W Washington Street.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 2025-RC-0009
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: PC 25-09
800 W Washington Street
Special Use Permit for a Outside Storage Ancillary to a Permitted Use
DATE: April 2, 2025
PUBLIC HEARING
The Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals conducted a public hearing for PC 25-09 on
Wednesday, April 2, 2025 in the Council Chambers of West Chicago City Hall — 475 Main
Street, West Chicago, Illinois.
RECOMMENDATION
After a review of the requested Special Use Permit, the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of
Appeals (PC/ZBA) recommended approval of the requested Special Use Permit and incorporated
the following findings of fact into its recommendation:
(A) The proposed use of outside storage ancillary to a permitted use is necessary for the public
convenience at the location because the proposed use is only permitted in the
Manufacturing District and the property currently has a large area that is already fenced in,
paved, and set back approximately 600 feet from edge of the right-of-way, convenient for
outside storage.
(B) The proposed use of outside storage ancillary to a permitted use is so designed, located and
proposed to be operated that the public health, safety and welfare will be protected because
The area where the outside storage is minimal and will be properly located on an existing
paved surface. Additional privacy fencing will be installed to screen the property from
north and west. The building serves as screening to the east and existing extensive tree
coverage is located on the south.
(C) The proposed use of outside storage ancillary to a permitted use will not cause substantial
injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in which it is located because the
proposed ancillary use of outside storage on the property is similar to other industrial
properties along the West Washington Street corridor. The storage will be screened from
Ordinance 25-O-0010

[Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)]
public view and the area the storage will be permitted in will be small in size compared to
the rest of the property.
(D) The proposed use of outside storage ancillary to a permitted use is listed as a special use in
the M Manufacturing District, per Section 11.2-4 (T) of the West Chicago Zoning Code.
