La Grange Park board approves PUD amendment allowing 38-unit final phase at Plymouth Place
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved an amendment to the Plymouth Place planned unit development at 315 N. La Grange Road to modify phase three to 38 independent‑living units, with staff and the Planning & Zoning Commission recommending approval.
Trustees in La Grange Park voted unanimously May 26 to approve an amended planned unit development for Plymouth Place Inc. at 315 North La Grange Road, authorizing a revised final phase that increases the previously approved 35 units to 38 independent‑living units.
The amendment, presented to the board by building and zoning staff, changes the earlier plan from one building with three residential wings to a configuration with two four‑story residential wings and includes related modifications to exterior lighting, parking, landscaping and signage. Planner materials attached to the board packet show the site is zoned R‑4 and developed as a continuing‑care retirement campus.
Maggie Jar, deputy village manager, and staff said the Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing April 21 and recommended approval by a unanimous 5–0 vote. Trustee Lner praised the applicant’s long review process and staff work that led to the submission and recommended moving forward.
Jay, identified in the meeting as the Plymouth Place CEO, told trustees this is the project’s last phase and thanked the village and staff for their cooperation, saying the project serves older adults in the area and that many residents come from La Grange Park and Western Springs.
The board called the roll after a brief discussion; Trustees Lner, Shien, Caputo and President Dipio all voted yes and the ordinance (case no. 26‑002) passed unanimously.
The approval authorizes the amended plat and associated exceptions to certain bulk, setback and sign standards described in the village packet. Trustees and staff said the project will include community‑facing amenity space and that continued construction will follow remaining permit and inspection requirements.
The board did not record any motions to amend the ordinance on the floor. Staff and the applicant indicated prior phases have been completed and the amendment governs the layout and unit count for the final phase. The village will proceed with the final permitting and inspection steps for the approved design.
