Plan Commission approves Sage Wellness Sanctuary special-use permit for 777 North York, Unit 23
Summary
The commission approved a special-use permit for Sage Wellness Sanctuary, a membership-based meditation and contrast-therapy facility at 777 North York Road (Unit 23); applicants said they expect to open in late spring to early summer pending permits.
The Hinsdale Plan Commission on Dec. 10 approved a special-use permit for Sage Wellness Sanctuary at 777 North York Road, Unit 23, allowing a membership-based meditation and wellness facility that will offer meditation rooms, contrast therapy (sauna and cool mist showers), workshops and a small retail area.
Bianca Casalbono, owner of Sage Wellness Sanctuary, and partner Vanessa Palmer described the business as a membership model offering private meditation rooms, group classes and community workshops. "We're excited to be part of the community," Casalbono said during the presentation.
Commissioners reviewed parking and the proposed internal layout. Staff confirmed parking calculations were accurate and noted the proposed use fits the category that has required special-use review; commissioners discussed minor site issues such as trees between front entrances and recent property ownership changes but found no obstacle to approval.
A roll-call vote approved the special-use permit; applicants were advised to proceed with building and health permitting as required. During the hearing the applicants said they hope to begin construction soon and aim for a late-spring or early-summer opening if permits and construction progress on schedule.
