A motion was made by Mr. McGrenera and seconded by Mr. Denney that the petition of the Chicago Title and Trust Company and the Chicago District Pipeline Company to zone the subject property (Docket 65-1) to Elk Grove Village zone M-1 be approved for the following reasons: 1. Approximately 75% of the surrounding property is currently in the M-1 and/or M-2 classification. 2. Subject property is in the O'Hare airport approach zone. 3. Tec-Search, Inc., professional planners hired by the Village, concur with the Commission's opinion and recommendation. 4. This zoning is the highest and best use of the land.
