Zoning board approves Yard House at 9902 Berwyn with outdoor patio in Rosemont’s Pearl District
Summary
The Village of Rosemont Zoning Board of Appeals approved a special use permit and sign variance for a new Yard House restaurant at 9902 Berwyn, authorizing an 8,850 sq. ft. dining space with a roughly 1,400 sq. ft. outdoor patio; the project’s plat remains tabled pending a right-of-way vacation.
The Village of Rosemont Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously on Feb. 4, 2025 to approve a special use permit and a sign variance for a proposed Yard House restaurant at 9902 Berwyn. Christopher Stephens moved to approve the special use and sign variance; Augie Sansone Jr. seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous.
Mr. Andy Stein of S Point Ventures Acquisitions, LLC described the proposal as "to develop an 8,850 square foot restaurant with an outdoor patio just over 1,400 square feet, in the Pearl District next to the EXP building. Mr. Stein estimated the restaurant would open in 2026." Attorney John Donahue told the board the plat of subdivision for the site had been tabled because "a necessary right-of-way vacation . . . needs to be approved prior to approving the resubdivision."
The action authorizes the special use and sign variance needed for Yard House to locate at the site, but the board and applicants will need to resolve the right-of-way vacation before the resubdivision can be finalized and any permit or construction milestones proceed. The board’s approvals were recorded as unanimous among members present (Chairman Ron Holtman; Augie Sansone Jr.; Christopher Stephens).
