VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT MEETING DATE: February 15, 2017 SUBJECT PROPERTY LOCATION: 1455 Busch Parkway PETITIONER: Ronald Klein – Rek Room, Inc. D/B/A Redline Athletics of Illinois PREPARED BY: Brian Sheehan, Building Commissioner REQUEST: A special use for a recreational use in the “I” Industrial Zoning District EXSITING LAND USE AND ZONING: The property is improved with a single-story multi-tenant office buildings totaling 88,380 square feet located in the “I” Industrial Zoning District. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 2009 Village Comprehensive Plan calls for this property to be Industrial PROJECT BACKGROUND The petitioner, Ronald Klein of Rek Room, Inc., is seeking to open a recreational facility in a vacant 12,183 square foot tenant space located at 1455 Busch Parkway. Redline Athletics offers various sports training activities for kids ranging in age from 8 to 18 years old. Redline is a franchise with existing facilities in California, Texas, Colorado and Virginia. This would be the first Redline Facility in Illinois. Pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance, recreational facilities in the “I” District require a special use. PLANNING & ZONING ANALYSIS The following is an analysis of their request: Operations  The existing vacant tenant space is 12,183 square feet in area.  The proposed use would operate as a recreational facility focused on training young athletes ages 8-18.  The location will offer multiple sports training programs including: o Baseball o Basketball o Volleyball o Golf  The facility will include a half basketball court, batting cages, workout facilities, climbing wall and locker room.  The proposed use would also include after school and weekend activities including tutoring and a workspace for completing homework.  During the school year the facilities operations will be Monday through Thursday 1PM to 9PM; Friday 1 PM to 7PM; Saturday 9 AM to 4 PM and closed on Sunday, except for private parties 2.1.a Packet Pg. 2 At t a c h m e n t : S t a f f R e p o r t ( 1 8 2 8 : C o n s i d e r a S p e c i a l U s e f o r a R e c r e a t i o n a l U s e f o r t h e P r o p e r t y L o c a t e d a t 1 4 5 5 B u s c h P a r k w a y ) and special events. During the summer and school breaks the facility will open at 9 AM Monday through Friday.  The petitioner estimates that they will have between 20-40 kids for each 90 minute session. While the proposed use has a maximum occupancy of approximately 90 persons, staff is concerned about parking, especially if the other vacant tenant spaces are occupied. Based on Redline’s estimates, staff is recommending a condition limiting occupancy to no more than 49 persons. However, this may be increased upon the review and approval by the Village. This Village review will allow staff the opportunity to evaluate any potential issues with parking should the other vacant spaces be occupied in the future. Parking  Pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance, a recreational use requires 1 space per 1,000 square feet of floor area, or fraction thereof. The tenant space is 12,183 square feet in floor area. Based upon the Zoning Ordinance parking requirements a total of thirteen (13) parking spaces are required.  Pursuant to the lease, the petitioner will have twenty (20) parking spaces for its use. The overall property has approximately 145 spaces throughout the entire development.  The landlord has provided a parking survey over a two week period which indicates that there is ample excess parking available throughout the site.  At its busiest times, there were a minimum of 68 parking spaces available for the entire building.  Based upon the parking survey and staff monitoring, it appears that the existing development will have sufficient parking to accommodate the proposed use. Drop-off/Pick-up  Drop-off/pick-up would occur in front of the unit space; however some parents may park and escort their children inside.  The petitioner has indicated that students will have staggered drop-off/pick-up and that an employee will be assigned to monitor and assist with drop-off/pick-up.  Staff finds that location of the tenant space is favorable to drop-off/pick-up since the unit is near the end of the building and there are no parking spaces obstructing the entrance into the school. SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS Pursuant to Village Code, the surrounding property owners within 250’ were notified and a public hearing sign was posted on the subject property. The posting of the public hearing sign and the mailed notifications were completed within the prescribed timeframe as required. As of the date of this Staff Report, staff received one call from a neighboring tenant in the building concerning this project. The tenant was looking for information as to what type of business was going in to this space. The proposed use was explained to the caller. STANDARDS Pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance, the proposed use does require a Special Use for a recreational facility in the “I” Industrial District. The following criteria shall be met: 1. The special use will serve the public convenience at the location of the subject property; or the establishment, maintenance or operation of the special use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare; 2.1.a Packet Pg. 3 At t a c h m e n t : S t a f f R e p o r t ( 1 8 2 8 : C o n s i d e r a S p e c i a l U s e f o r a R e c r e a t i o n a l U s e f o r t h e P r o p e r t y L o c a t e d a t 1 4 5 5 B u s c h P a r k w a y ) 2. The location and size of the special use, the nature and intensity of the operation involved in or conducted in connection with said special use, the size of the subject property in relation to such special use, and the location of the site with respect to streets giving access to it shall be such that it will be in harmony with the appropriate, orderly development of the district in which it is located; 3. The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity of the subject property for the purposes already permitted in such zoning district, nor substantially diminish and impair other property valuations with the neighborhood; 4. The nature, location and size of the buildings or structures involved with the establishment of the special use will not impede, substantially hinder or discourage the development and use of adjacent land and buildings in accord with the zoning district within which they lie; 5. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, and/or other necessary facilities have been or will be provided; 6. Parking areas shall be of adequate size for the particular special use, which areas shall be properly located and suitably screened from adjoining residential uses, and the entrance and exit driveways to and from these parking areas shall be designed so as to prevent traffic hazards, eliminate nuisance and minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. Included in the petitioner’s information is a detailed response to the standards. Staff finds that the petitioner has met the required standards for the special use. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the special use for a recreational facility located at 1455 Busch Parkway, subject to the following conditions: 1. The special use as a recreational facility is granted to Rek Room Inc., D/B/A Redline Athletics of Illinois (as ownership is currently constituted) and said special use does not run with the land. 2.

Mr. Sheehan advised that the public hearing notice published included the variation request to encroach 9.875 feet into the required 35 foot rear yard setback and an amendment to PUD Ordinance 78-55.

Also, included in the packet is a letter from the adjacent neighbor in support of the request and the Village has received several telephone calls in support of the request. Ms. Tollberg explained that she has lived in this home for 23 years. The back of the home has southern exposure and gets very hot during the warm months. She would like to enjoy the outdoors and is looking to put an 11 foot by 17 foot screened room on the back of the home. It will be covered with a roof and will blend into the home. Com. Au asked if there is anything in the back now. Ms. Tollberg stated no, just a concrete slab. Com. Moodhe asked if there are any other homes or duplex's with a similar addition. Ms. Tollberg is not sure. She has seen a large gazebo and decks. Mr. Sheehen added that he did not see any in the area immediately adjacent to the Petitioner when looking at the aerial view. Com. Cesario thanked Ms. Tollberg for approaching her neighbors prior to the public hearing. Com. Weinstein asked about the materials that the screened room would be constructed of.
