A-22-096 Ordinance – Special Use – Liquor Sales – BP Streamwood – 1236 E Irving Park Road
Request the Board approve an Ordinance entitled “AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE SALE OF PACKAGED ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES FOR OFF-PREMISE CONSUMPTION IN A C-2 COMMERCIAL DISTRICT LOCATED AT 1236 E. IRVING PARK ROAD.” This Ordinance authorizes a special use permit to allow for the sales of alcohol in an existing gas station convenience store in a C-2 Commercial District.
Trustee Thon presented the Ordinance for first reading and posting.
Community Development Director Jeff Harris reviewed the request for alcohol sales in the gas station convenience store. He noted this property was redeveloped in 2005 as a BP gas station with a 4,085 square foot convenience store. The Planning and Zoning Board heard this petition for the alcohol sales and recommended in favor. The new Class P license allowing alcohol sales at gas stations are limited to beer and wine only, with a maximum of 10% of the floor space. The BP plans to have 199 square feet of cooler space, and 200 square feet of floor space dedicated to alcohol sales. The coolers will be locked during non-alcohol sales times. Staff concurs with the recommendation.
Attorney Mike Kelly and BP owner Dipen Patel were present for questions. Trustee Harper asked about the allowed window signage. Mr. Harris stated the planned window signage is in compliance with the Code. Trustee Cecille asked about the BASSET training needed for all persons selling alcohol. Mr. Kelly and Mr. Patel stated all employees will receive all necessary training.
A-22-097 Ordinance – Special Use – Cannabis Dispensary – 1594 Buttitta Drive
Request the Board approve an Ordinance entitled “AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR AN ADULT-USE CANNABIS DISPENSARY IN A C-2 COMMERCIAL DISTRICT LOCATED AT 1594 BUTTITTA DRIVE.” This Ordinance authorizes a special use permit to allow for a cannabis dispensary in an existing retail center in a C-2 Commercial District.
Trustee Thon presented the Ordinance for first reading and posting.
Community Development Director Jeff Harris reviewed the proposal for an adult use cannabis dispensary in a 3,000 square foot space that was last occupied by Payless Shoes. The closest residential units are across Barrington Road in Hanover Park. The Planning and Zoning Board heard this petition and noted this is the first of two allowed dispensaries in Streamwood. The petitioner, 280E LLC, is already licensed as a cannabis dispenser and operates other locations in the Chicagoland area. The Streamwood location would have hours from 9 am to 9 pm daily and operates with 5-9 staff members are any one time. They estimate approximately 100 customers daily, and 250 per day on the weekends. There are three main areas within the space; 400 square foot waiting room fully accessible to the public, a 1,050 square foot sales area with controlled entry and a 1,250 staff only restricted area for intake, processing and storage of product. No exterior changes are planned, and the signage meets all requirements. The Planning and Zoning Board recommended in favor; and staff concurs.
Zachary Zises, petitioner, was present and provided a brief overview of their existing businesses in Chicagoland. Trustee Harper asked about displays on the sales floor. Mr. Zises stated there is no “live” product in the sales displays; there is only “dummy” product. All live product is in the rear storage area. Trustee Harper asked about the access to the storage area. Mr. Zises stated it is only accessible by employees through key-card access, and that all product is secured in the vault area overnight. Trustee Cecille asked about the integrity of the common wall between this space and the neighboring retail space. Mr. Zises stated all walls would be reinforced with metal prior to occupancy, and also stated there are motion sensors, seismic sensors, and glass break sensors on all exterior glass. Trustee Cecille asked about security guards. Mr. Zises stated they must use a third-party security company, and there are 1-2 guards on duty during sales hours, depending on traffic. Trustee Cecille asked if there are concerns/policies regarding customers who may have a concealed/carry permit and have a weapon with them. Mr. Zises stated it has not been a concern at the other locations, and felt that the presence of multiple surveillance cameras through the interior and exterior, as well as every employee – including security – having panic buttons that go directly to police dispatch, there should not be any problems. He also said most of their business is by pre-order and the customers are picking up and done with their transactions within 5 minutes. Mr. Zises also noted that is there is a crowd surge that would cause lines of customers, they use a text-based system of advising when the customer should arrive for their transaction.
A-22-098 Ordinance – Authorizing the Execution of an Annexation Agreement – Oasis Senior Living Facility – 30W320 and 30W360 Irving Park Road
Request the Board approve an Ordinance entitled “AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN ANNEXATION AGREEMENT FOR PROPERTY KNOWN AS OASIS OF STREAMWOOD.” This Ordinance authorizes the execution of an annexation agreement to permit real property to be annexed into the Village of Streamwood for development.
Trustee Thon presented the Ordinance for first reading and posting.
NOTE: This narrative will cover this item and the next three related items on this Agenda.
Community Development Director Jeff Harris reviewed this proposed project, stating the property is currently unincorporated and there are two vacant single-family structures in severe disrepair. The property has been owned by a church for many years but never developed. SW Land Holdings LLC is proposing a 63,500 square foot assisted living and memory care facility with 90 units; 64 assisted living and 26 memory care in a separate wing on the west side of the building. This will be single story structure, residential in character, and have a decorative canopy over the front entry and decorative metal fencing around the property. There is a single monument sign proposed, and a single entry access point on Irving Park Road (Route 19); there is no connection to any adjacent residential neighborhood streets. Sixty-four parking spaces are planned, mostly on the south side of the building with overflow on the west side. The petitioner is aware of the IDOT-planned widening of Route 19 and has considered that in their design decisions. After Planning and Zoning Board review, and in response to neighbor concerns, the landscape buffer on the west side has been increased. The PZB approved this proposal and staff concurs.
Attorney Steve Patterson, along with owner Tahir Khan and Hugh Loftus, Manhard Consulting were present for questions. Mr. Patterson stated that in addition to getting this property back onto the tax rolls, they are proposing a $15-$20 million investment in this construction, with 30-40 jobs also created for area residents. Mr. Loftus reviewed the overall plan, stating there will be one driveway located on the east side of the property onto Irving Park Road. He noted the property is sloped from west to east, so proposed detention is on the east side as well. Landscaping includes 180 evergreen trees and other plantings, all in compliance with the Code.
Trustee Cecille sked abut the detention and the other noted “pond” areas in the same vicinity on the drawings. Mr. Loftus stated those are filtration ponds that will “clean” the stormwater before releasing into the detention pond. Trustee Harper asked if there are interior courtyard areas with landscaping. Mr. Loftus stated there are courtyard areas with walkways and sitting areas, and minimal landscaping.

This application would also include street lighting, landscaping, trees, planter beds and retaining walls as needed. The maintenance would be the Village’s responsibility. The Village would be responsible for 20% of the cost, estimated at $2 million; the Federal government would pay the other 80% of the cost. This is only the application – no funds will be spent until the Board approves at a later date, if the grant is received.
