BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this matter on February 19, 2020 and voted to recommend approval of the request (approved, 6-0). Staff concurs.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located at the northwest corner of Naperville and Warrenville Roads and is commonly known as part of 1935 Lucent Lane and 1960-2000 Lucent Lane. It is 175.2 acres and is zoned ORI (Office, Research and Light Industry District). 1960 Lucent Lane is improved with a 5-story steel and glass office building, two 3-story parking structures, and associated surface parking lots. 2000 Lucent Lane is improved with a 5-story steel and glass office/lab building, a single-story metal building, and associated surface parking lots. The building at 1960 Lucent Lane is currently vacant as Nokia consolidated its workforce into the 2000 Lucent Lane office building. Part of 1935 Lucent Lane is occupied by an electric control house for the buildings on Lots 2 and 3.
The petitioner, Nokia of America Corporation, intends to sell the subject property and in order to facilitate the sale, requests to subdivide the property into 3 lots and 1 outlot. Lot 1 is an existing electric utility facility. The proposed Lot 2 will include the electric control house and the improvements on 1960 Lucent Lane, which will be renovated and leased to multiple office tenants. Lot 3 will consist of the 2000 Lucent Lane improvements and will be leased back to Nokia. Lot 4 is intended to be sold for future development.
