Background

The subject property, located approximately 2,000 ft. west of the intersection of S. Arlington Heights Rd. and W. Algonquin Rd, is currently occupied by the European Crystal Banquet facility. This facility is 20,215 sq. ft. in size, and the applicant is proposing the removal of  approximately 5,000 sq. feet of the banquet hall structure to allow the construction of a 10-story, 165 room hotel, which would be attached to the remaining 15,000 sq. ft. banquet hall building. Additional banquet/meeting rooms would be added as part of the proposed hotel.

Current Request

Land Use Variation to allow a 165 room hotel, parking Variation to reduce the off-street parking requirements from 461 spaces to 151 spaces.

Conclusion

It is recommended that the Village Board evaluate the conceptual site plan and preliminary information available at this time and provide preliminary feedback regarding the proposed development, specifically, as it relates to the proposed parking Variation.
