Planning and Zoning Commission

Summary

The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed a concept plan for a new 11,254 square foot multi-tenant retail building at Lots 1 & 2 of the Rose Plaza subdivision, located at 18307 White Oak Park, Tinley Park. This development aims to complete the Rose Plaza subdivision, which previously had a planned unit development approved in 2018 for a Dog Haus restaurant that never materialized. The proposed building will accommodate up to seven tenants, with a drive-thru lane planned for the southern unit facing Renwick Road. The applicant, Nash Deffala of Deffala Holdings LLC, is proposing 83 parking spaces and a masonry building exterior. The commission provided input on dumpster locations, monument signage, utility screening, and the need for pedestrian walkways through the parking lot, with the developer agreeing to address these concerns.

Citizen Impact

This proposal could bring new retail options and potentially restaurants to the Rose Plaza subdivision. Residents should be aware of potential traffic impacts from the drive-thru and the need for adequate parking and pedestrian access.
