Commission continues Skokie Valley Road PUD hearing to Sept. 16 at applicant's request

The Plan and Design Commission continued a public hearing for PUD-2025-00057, an amendment to a special-use permit and associated preliminary and final plan and design-review package for a storage lot at 2000-2060 Skokie Valley Road, to the Sept. 16, 2025, regular meeting at 7 p.m. at City Hall. Why it matters: The applicant requested the continuance, staff preserved public notice and the commission did not open the hearing; the matter will return on a date certain so interested parties need not receive a new notice. At the start of the item, the chair noted the applicant had requested a deferment. A staff member told the commission, “Staff received an email from the applicant this afternoon and they asked for a continuance of this item to the Tuesday, September 16, Plan and Design Commission meeting.” Commissioners discussed whether to open the hearing; staff recommended not opening it and to preserve notice by voting to continue to a date certain. The commission moved to continue the item to the Sept. 16 regular meeting and approved the continuance by voice vote. The chair said the item is continued to Sept. 16 at 7 p.m. at City Hall, and that no new notice would be issued for the continued hearing. The application will return to the commission on Sept. 16; applicants and interested parties were advised to monitor the posted agenda and packet for that meeting.
