ITEM SUMMARY:
Forming America, located at 1200 North Prince Crossing Road, operates a concrete forms
manufacturing facility with ancillary outside storage that originally received Special Use Permit
approval in 2007. The Special Use Permit is to allow outside storage on the property ancillary to the
principal use of a concrete forms operation. The Special Use Permit has been amended six times. One
of the conditions of the Special Use Permit approval is the requirement to pave all areas of the
property where outside storage would occur. Paving of these areas took a considerable amount of
time and several amendments were approved extending the timeframe for when paving had to be
completed. Forming America completed paving all areas where outside storage is occurring as
indicated on their Paving and Layout Plan. All outside storage is now currently located on paved areas.
Ordinance No. 25-0-0020
The petitioner is now proposing to pave the final area property, which is located immediately north of
the existing paved areas. To do so, a seventh amendment is needed to the Special Use Permit to
include this area in the controlling pavement plan. The proposed paved area is 80,937 square feet.
The existing detention basin was not originally sized to accommodate this area and therefore the
petitioner is also proposing to increase the volume of the existing detention basin. The proposed size
and modifications to the detention have been determined to be sufficient for the additional 80,937
square foot paved area. Both the City’s Stormwater Engineer and the Public Works Department have
approved the plans for the increased detention basin and pavement area. The paved area will be
screened with a fence to match the height and style of the existing fence along North Prince Crossing
Road.
At their June 3, 2025 meeting, members of the Plan Commission voted unanimously (4-0, with three
absent) in support of the proposed Special Use Permit Amendment.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Discuss and recommend approval of the proposed Special Use Permit Amendment at 1200 North
Prince Crossing Road.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 2025-RC-0011
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: PC 25-11
Seventh Amendment to a Special Use Permit
Forming America, Ltd.
1200 North Prince Crossing Road
DATE: June 3, 2025
DECISION: The Plan Commission/Zoning Board unanimously recommended approval of the
special use amendment by a (4-0) vote.
PUBLIC HEARING
The Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals conducted a public hearing for PC 25-11 on
Tuesday, June 3, 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 Amendment and
incorporated the following findings of fact into its recommendation:
(1) 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 expansion of the storage yard is consistent with the existing ancillary use on
the property for outside storage to support the existing concrete forms manufacturing. Once
this paving occurs, the petitioner will not have additional space to pave any future areas for
outside storage. Staffis of the opinion the petitioner has satisfied this finding.
(2) Is so designed, located and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety and welfare
will be protected:
The petitioner will increase the volume capacity of the existing stormwater detention basin to
account for the increase in pavement on the property. The modified basin and increased
pavement has been designed to comply with the DuPage County Stormwater Ordinance and will
be screened from public view in the same manner the existing outside storage is screened. Staff
is of the opinion the petitioner has satisfied this finding.

(3) Will not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in which it
is located:
The proposed expansion of the paved storage area is consistent with the existing uses occurring
on the property and will not significantly change the character of the surrounding area. The
increased detention size will capture the additional stormwater runoff generated by the paved
area to comply with the DuPage County Stormwater Ordinance. Staff is of the opinion the
petitioner has satisfied this finding.
(4) The proposed special use is designated by this code as a listed special use in the zoning district
in which the property in question is located:
The existing manufacturing facility with ancillary outside storage listed as a special use per
Section 11.2-4 (T) of the Zoning Code. No change in use will occur on the property. Staff is of
the opinion the petitioner has satisfied this finding.
