Existing uses of property within the general area of the property in question.
North: State of Illinois office building. South: Apartment building.
Southwest: Single family residences. Northeast: High School. East:
Single-family residences. West: Retail.
The zoning classification of property within the general area of the property in
question.
North and northwest: 1-1. Northeast, south and east: R-2. West: S-3. S-2
is also located one block south of the subject property.
The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted under the
existing zoning classification.
The property contains a building that is suitable to the uses permitted
under the existing zoning classification.
The trend of development, if any, in the general area of the property in
question, including changes, if any, Which have taken place since the day the
property in question was placed in its present zoning classification.
The area has remained somewhat stable with the location of the State of
Illinois office building that replaced a manufacturing company and the
high school located across the street to the northeast Retail uses have
developed west of the property meeting up with the glh Street commercial
corridor.
The relationship of the uses allowed under the proposed zoning classification
to the Official City Plan.
The City Plan indicates that 11 1h Street, south of North Grand Avenue
East might benefit from some commercial development; however, further
encroachment should be prevented into residential areas. The uses
allowed in the B-1 district often involve objectionable influences that are
incompatible with residential uses and light retail uses. As such, the
request for B-1 zoning appears to be contrary to the City Plan.
If the Commission finds that both existing zoning classification and the zoning
classification requested in the proposed amendment are inappropriate, the
Commission shall make a finding on the appropriate zoning classification for
the property.
The existing zoning classification is appropriate.

1050 North Grand Avenue East
This propetiy is located by a signalized intersection. We would recommend denial of
va1ying section 155.111, access to off-street parking facilities, to back out on the rightofway. The intersection is located on two arterial streets and adjacent to a High
School. There are more pedestrians in this area due to the school. We would
recommend denial ofva1ying section 155.114, regulations for location of off-street
parking facilities to allow parking in the required front yard. Since tltis property is
located adjacent to a signalized httersection. Parking in the front yard could
compromise the sight distance of the intersection.
