FINDINGS OF FACT- JUSTIFICATION

FOR THE GRANTING OF A VARIATION
Village of Oak Lawn
9446 Raymond Avenue
Oak Lawn IL 60453

COMMON ADDRESS OF PROPERTY THAT IS SUBJECT TO YOUR VARIATION REQUEST:

4815 West 92nd Street Oak Lawn IL 60453
VARIATION($) BEING REQUESTED: Request to rezone 4815 West 92"'8treet from a R-3 (multi-family) zoned
district, to a R-1 (single-family) zoned district.
PURSUANT TO STATE STATUTE AND THE OAK LAWN VILLAGE CODE, CERTAIN FINDINGS OF FACT MUST BE
MADE BEFORE A VARIATION CAN BE GRANTED. IN THAT REGARD, PLEASE PROVIDE A DETAILED RESPONSE
TO EACH OF THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
1.)

What practical difficulties or particular hardship prevents you from fully complying with all applicable
requirements of the Village Code without the variation(s)? The current single-family home at 4815 W.
92"' St. was built on a lot designed specifically for single-family use. It has been operated as a
single-family home for decades, and the current owner, who recently purchased the home, plans to
use it as a single-family home. Additionally, the existing uses and zoning of nearby property within
the neighborhood are used for single-family purposes, and the community has undertaken this plan
for land use development in the surrounding neighborhood.

2.)
Why can the property not yield a reasonable return without the requested variation(s)? The
existing uses and zoning of nearby property is similarly aligned for single-family zoned purposes.
Additionally, we firmly believe surrounding property values would decrease If this lot were to
remain zoned as multi-family for a multitude of reasons, namely, that the destruction of property
values would not support the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the public, particularly
the residents in the surrounding neighborhood.

3.)

What unique circumstances, not caused by your own actions, make the requested variation(s) necessary?
The existing uses and zoning within the surrounding neighborhood is zoned for single-family use,
and great care has been taken by these residents, as well as the Village, to plan its land use
development as a single-family zoned area. Further, it is significantly more important for the
community to have this lot zoned as single-family and not multi-family for many of the reasons
detailed above. In addition, however, continued use of this lot as multi-family would overcrowd the
immediate area and put unnecessary stress on the residents in the surrounding neighborhood.

4.)

Why will the requested variation(s. _

._
ntial character of the surrounding
neighborhood? The essential character of the surrounding neighborhood is zoned for single-family
use, is zoned accordingly, and is utilized for single-family residences. Therefore, the current
zoning for this lot as multi-family is in contradiction to the essential character of the zoning in the
surrounding neighborhood. Therefore, not re-zoning it to single-family would negatively affect the
surrounding residents.

THIS COMPLETED FORM MUST BE SUBMITTED WITH YOUR VARIATION PETITION.
