Itasca trustees hear zoning-certificate updates for a string of new and expanding businesses
Summary
At the Aug. 20 Itasca Village Board meeting Trustee Gervais reviewed zoning-certificate applications for several incoming or expanding businesses, describing proposed uses, square footage and employee counts; the presentations were informational and subject to normal zoning conditions.
Trustee Paul Gervais, chair of the Community Development Committee, summarized zoning-certificate applications for nine businesses during the Village of Itasca board meeting on Aug. 20, 2024.
Gervais said the items were presented for information and to confirm that each proposed use complies with the village zoning ordinance. "The proposed business use is office" and related permitted uses were invoked repeatedly as he described each project, he said.
The list included: AutoWise Group at 1371 Industrial Drive, Unit 1 (M-1 limited manufacturing district) — a digital used-car sales platform that would occupy 300 square feet of office and 1,375 square feet of industrial space with two employees and no on-site repair; Exhibitus at 150 Pierce, Suite 240 (ROC Regional Office Center) — an experiential-marketing office with up to seven employees and no assigned parking; Health Solutions at 1100 N. Arlington Heights Road (B-3 service business district) — a proposed 10,000-square-foot underwriting office described as a sister company to Captive Resources; Jacobs Engineering at 555 Pierce, Suite 190 (ROC) — an office of about 1,268 square feet with up to eight employees; MGD Property Specialists / Association Pro Services at 500 Park Boulevard, Suite 50 (ROC) — property-management office in roughly 1,557 square feet with four employees; Nagasi America Holdings at 300 Park Boulevard, Suite 500 (ROC) — a 13,620-square-foot office with 27 employees and eight company vehicles; Faison International at 555 Pierce, Suite 120 (ROC) — a 1,500-square-foot freight-forwarding and logistics office with six to seven employees; and Techmax Machine at 701 Rolling Road (M limited manufacturing) — a third Itasca location for a computerized machine shop serving defense and aerospace, with about 10 employees and three company vehicles in an 86,577-square-foot warehouse/industrial building that includes roughly 10,000 square feet of office space and more than 200 parking spaces.
Gervais cited relevant sections of the zoning code for each use (for example, office uses under section 10.03.1.a in the ROC district and motor vehicle sales/repair standards under section 11.03.1 in the M-1 district) and said the zoning administrator recommended conditional approval subject to compliance with the zoning ordinance and applicable state licensing and tax rules.
Because the presentation was informational, no board action was taken on the items at the Aug. 20 meeting. The zoning administrator will continue processing each certificate application and any required affidavits of office use, and applicants will need to meet the conditions spelled out in the zoning ordinance and any state licensing statutes before commencing operations.
