Northbrook trustees approve Class 6B recommendation for 3075–3085 Commercial Avenue
Summary
The Village Board voted unanimously to support a county Class 6B property tax incentive for Catalina Properties at 3075–3085 Commercial Avenue, advancing the applicant's agreement with conditions the village required.
The Village of Northbrook Board of Trustees on a unanimous vote recommended that Cook County approve a Class 6B property tax incentive for 3075'''''3085 Commercial Avenue, an application from Catalina Properties.
Trustees approved a resolution consenting to the Class 6B designation after a staff presentation and attorney comment. Trustee Israel moved the resolution and Trustee Hebel seconded; a roll-call vote recorded "yes" from all trustees present and the motion carried.
Why it matters: A Class 6B designation is a county administered property tax incentive that can lower taxes on qualifying commercial improvements; Northbrook's approval is an advisory recommendation the county uses in its decision. Village staff said the applicant signed the village's standard agreement with the conditions the village requested.
Board discussion and procedural notes: The village attorney clarified that property tax assessment calculations are handled separately from the village's recommendation. Trustees and staff noted the application had been before the board previously and that the village received comments from outside agencies, including Northbrook School District 207. No public comments were recorded at the meeting on this item.
Vote and next steps: The board's vote forwards the village's recommendation to the county for final action on the Class 6B incentive and records the conditions the village attached in its agreement with the applicant.
