Try Again On Office Building

The one-story home health care business at 2514 Ballard Rd. in Des Plaines could be torn down to make way for a larger building.

National Home Health Care Services, 2514 Ballard Rd., originally was given permission to construct a new two-story office building in 2009. The company was granted a conditional use permit because the building sits in a C-1 neighborhood shopping district zone.

However, no work has been done on the building in the past three years and the approval expired, according to Scott Mangum, senior planner for the city.

The proposed buildings design will be presented to the citys architectural review commission at 7 p.m. tonight (Wednesday) in Room 101 of city hall.

While the commission might sign off on the design, the propertys owner must still reapply for the conditional use permit, which they have not yet done, according to Mangum.

Mangum said he did not know if National Home Health Care planned to have other tenants at the office building or when they hoped to begin construction if granted approval.
