BACKGROUND:
The petitioner, Cullinan Joliet, LLC, seeks approval of the Preliminary, Final Plats, and Recording Plats of Resubdivision of Lot 1 of the Rock Run Crossings Subdivision. The subject property lies within the Rock Run Crossings Redevelopment Project Area, which has been designated as a Tax Increment Financing District (“TIF District”) since 2021. When it was created, it was the intention of the TIF District to include a future mixed-use development that would contain commercial retail, restaurant, entertainments attractions, recreational amenities, and a multi-family residential neighborhood over the entire 309-acre District area.
The subject property is a 14.335-acre portion of Lot 1 of the Rock Run Crossings Subdivision, which was created in 2021. When the Rock Run Collection Planned Unit Development was approved in 2023, the subject property was envisioned for future use of a gas station on what is shown as Lot 1, and commercial retail uses on what is shown as Lot 2. While the PUD allows multiple buildings to be located on one lot under unified ownership, the proposed subdivision would create two separate lots for the future end users. A new access drive which would service both Lot 1 and Lot 2 would stem off Rock Run Crossings Drive along the north side of Lot 1. A 10-foot landscaping easement would be provided along the Rock Run Crossings Drive frontage.
A sanitary sewer main exists along the west side of Lot 1. Development at Lot 1 will be able to tap into the water main at the southwest corner of the lot. As Lot 2 develops, the developer will be responsible for extending the water main to the north along Gateway Boulevard to provide service to future development in Lot 2.
