REPORT & RECOMMENDATION
APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL USE AND MAJOR SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR UDO CASE NO. 2020-CDC-02
DISCUSSION:
Ald. Catalano inquired about a handicapped parking space; Mr. Cage assured him that if it is a requirement he’s sure the applicant will comply. Ald. E. Wesley asked about the amount of people actually working in the building. Mr. Cage stated there will be two employees and 10- 12 clients staggered during the day between 8:00am and 5:00pm. Ald. E. Wesley expressed concerns about overflow parking using the City owned lot next door to the site. Mr. Cage agreed to relay that concern to the applicant.
Ald. Woods asked why Committee was not provided with the survey and floor plans that CDC was given, as he will not support this without first seeing those drawings. Mr. Cage stated that was an oversight. Ald. Woods noted that this is the City’s downtown and this request doesn’t fit with what is being done downtown. He is also displeased with the lack of information provided for the inside of the building. Ald. Sorrentino asked if Mr. Cage could show the applicant a site at a different location and not located in the gateway to Wood Dale. Mr. Cage said the applicant did testify there would not be any day labor.
VOTE:
Ald. Woods made a motion, seconded by Ald. E. Wesley, to approve a Special Use and Major Site Plan Review for the UDO for Case No. 2020-CDC-02, for an Employment Agency to be Located at 345 E.
