AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO THE ELK GROVE PARK
DISTRICT FOR AN ADDITIONAL MODIFICATION FOR THE ADDITION OF SIX (6)
PICKLEBALL COURTS AND LIGHTING FOR THE COURTS FOR PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 711 CHELMSFORD LANE, ELK GROVE VILLAGE (MARSHALL
PARK)
WHEREAS, the Plan Commission of the Village of Elk Grove Village, acting as a
Zoning Commission, at a public hearing duly called and held according to law, considered the
petition of Elk Grove Park District for a Special Use Permit for additional modifications to a
Planned Development for property located at 711 Chelmsford, Lane, Elk Grove Village
(Marshall Park); and
WHEREAS, the Petition, as presented, requested two separate modifications -one for the
addition of six (6) pickleball courts and lighting therefore and the second for lighting the existing
soccer field, which lighting would further require a variation of Section 7.1 of the Zoning
Ordinance, to permit the sixty -foot (60') lighting structures to exceed the thirty-five foot (35')
height restrictions in the R-4 Residential Zoned District, which petitions the Plan Commission
recommended be denied; and
WHEREAS, the Park District thereafter requested the Village Board to defer acting on
the recommendation with respect to the six (6) pickleball courts but proceed with the issue of
lighting for the soccer field and the related variation, requesting that the Village overturn the
recommended denial of the Plan Commission and thus grant the modifications to the Planned
Development with respect to the soccer field lighting and the granting the height variation
requested; and
WHEREAS, Pursuant to Ordinance 3848, duly passed and approved on April 9, 2024,
the Village approved the Park District's requests for modifications of a Planned Development
and a height variation of Section 7.1 of the Zoning Ordinance with regard to permitting four (4)
sixty- foot (60') light structures for the existing soccer fields at Marshall park but deferred any
consideration of the modification request for the addition of six (6) pickleball courts and a height
variation for four fifty -foot (50') light structures for the courts; and
WHEREAS, the Park District, after further review and further amendments to the
request for the pickleball courts and the lighting therefor, have requested the Mayor and Board of
Trustees to grant the request for a Special Use Permit for said amended modifications; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and Board of Trustees, after having considered the request of the
Park District, find and believe it to be in the best interests of the Village to grant the Special Use
Permit and the height variation for the lighting structures as requested.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Mayor and Board of Trustees of the
Village of Elk Grove Village, Counties of Cook and DuPage, Illinois as follows:
Section 1: That there be granted a Special Use Permit and a variation of Section 7.1 of

(50') light structures, subject to the condition that the lighting not extend beyond 9:00 p.m. and
