TO: Mayor Thomas J. Weisner
FROM: Zoning Board of Appeals
DATE: January 22, 2015
SUBJECT:
An Ordinance Granting a Parking Setback Variance to the north property line, from 23 feet to 5 feet, with a Final Plan for a medical use for property located at 2285 Sequoia Drive, in Kane County, Aurora Illinois 60506 (Advocate Dreyer Medical Clinic - L14-01056 / AU07/2-13.519-Fsd/Fpn/V - AM - Ward 5)
PURPOSE:
The Petitioner, Advocate HealthCare, is proposing a new medical clinic and a detention basin on Lots 1 and 2 of proposed Advocate Dreyer Subdivision, Unit 1 on Sequoia Drive. Advocate HealthCare is proposing to construct a new 2-story Dreyer Medical Clinic requiring a setback variance to accommodate parking lot requirements.
BACKGROUND:
The property is currently zoned Office Research and Light Industrial (ORI).
The property is located north of Sullivan Road, south of the East-West Tollway, east of Orchard Road and west of Randall Road.
Advocate HealthCare offices occupy the lot immediately to the west of this site and it is surrounded west, south and east by properties currently zoned ORI.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has reviewed the variance petition, submitted by the petitioner and have sent comments back to them on those submittals. The petitioner has made all the requested changes to these documents and they now meet all of the applicable codes and ordinances. Said variance is actually adjacent to an inner lot line within the development (the detention lot) and therefore will not impact any exterior buffering for the development.
POLICIES AND GUIDELINES :
12.0 To plan and provide for the growth of the City through the integration of land use patterns and functions that promote complementary interactions between different land use components.
41.1.3 To encourage the location of industrial, office and office-research development near transportation facilities designed to provide adequate and efficient linkages to sources of labor, production materials and markets.
41.1.5 To plan and promote the extension of the office and office-research corridor along the Tollway in the City of Aurora.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Zoning Board of Appeals recommends APPROVAL of the Setback Variance with a Final Plan for a medical use located at 2285 Sequoia Drive.
