Plan Commission advances several small-business special-use requests to Village Board; votes at a glance
Summary
The Plan Commission approved a slate of special-use and site-plan requests — including a fence for Aurora Doors & Windows, Iron Fist Boxing, Mary Jim gymnastics, Orsini Animal Hospital and Children's Success tutoring — and forwarded them to the Village Board, with conditions and scheduled June 1 consideration for several items.
At its May 13 meeting the Wheeling Plan Commission approved multiple routine special-use and site-plan items and forwarded them to the Village Board for final action, imposing standard conditions (building permits, sign permits, limits on activities) where staff recommended them.
Key items and outcomes:
- Aurora Doors & Windows (minor site plan and appearance approval; fence enclosure at 1475 Wheeling Road): staff recommended approval subject to three conditions; the commission approved and the petitioner thanked the commission.
- Iron Fist Boxing & Fitness (special use for recreational/instructional boxing at 1475 Wheeling Road, Suite 120; docket PSU26-0005): staff recommended approval with four conditions (exclusive use for training/classes, employee-on-site requirement, no tournaments/large gatherings without additional approval, sign permit requirement). Petitioner Eric Ocampo said the facility focuses on youth and adult classes; commission recommendation forwarded to Village Board for June 1.
- Mary Jim LLC (gymnastics and fitness, 228 McHenry Road; docket PSU26-0006): staff recommended approval subject to five conditions limiting hours, requiring business licensing and restricting food service and outdoor activities; petitioner Alina Deloria described class sizes and operations. Commission recommended approval; item goes to the Village Board for final action (June 1).
- Orsini Animal Hospital (special use at 751 N. Milwaukee Ave; docket PSU26-0007): staff recommended approval with four conditions limiting overnight boarding and grooming unless otherwise approved, requiring ongoing maintenance of the existing pet-relief area and a business license application. Petitioner Anna Kristic said the practice will be 'fear free' with limited on-site holds for surgical cases; the commission recommended approval.
- Children's Success tutoring center (714 S. Milwaukee Ave; docket PSU26-0009): staff recommended approval subject to six conditions including fire-alarm improvements, business licensing and prohibitions on food service; petitioner Anastasia Federienka described early-childhood education programming and class sizes; commission recommended approval.
The commission also approved minutes from the April 22 meeting (one recorded abstention by Commissioner Carl on that block of minutes) and adjourned. For items requiring final authorization, the Village Board will consider these petitions at its next meetings; staff will verify permit conditions and required technical details during the permit-review process.
