BACKGROUND:
The petitioner, Vequity, is proposing to retrofit the existing shopping center located at 215-231 E. Ogden Avenue by removing the western 20.5’ of the building to add a drive-through (see PZC 17-1-006). In order to accommodate the drive-through, the adjacent property owner, Jetco Properties (Jewel Osco), has agreed to sell a portion of land to the petitioner. Vequity, on behalf of Jetco, requests to subdivide the existing Jewel lot in order to create a new lot; following subdivision and purchase, Lot 2 of the Jewel Osco Subdivision will be consolidated with the property located at 127 E. Ogden (subject to administrative review and approval).
The subject property is located on the north side of Ogden Avenue, east of Washington Street. The Jetco (Jewel Osco) property is 8.4 acres in size, while the newly created lot will be 0.1 acres/4,411 square feet in size. The property is zoned B2 (Community Shopping Center District). The East Sector Update to the Comprehensive Master Plan (1998) identifies the future land use of the subject property as commercial; the proposal is consistent is with this designation. The Ogden Avenue Corridor Plan (2008) identifies the property as neighborhood/convenience commercial mix; the proposal is also consistent with this designation.
