2. PZC 2026-02 Grande Reserve Units 10B & 11B, Tom Scofield on behalf of Ross Lane
Development, LLC, petitioner, is seeking Final Plat approval for an approximately 22-
acre site consisting of 154 new residential townhome lots located east of Kennedy Road
and south of the BNSF railroad in Units 10 and 11 of Grande Reserve subdivision.
Ms. Dim presented the information for this petition. The Final Plat application was submitted in
March 2026 for phase 2, units 10B and 11B. Per the original Annexation Agreement in 2003, the
HOA will be responsible for snowplowing in 2 cul-de-sacs in units 10 and 11. Also, the
appearance standards are consistent with phase 1. This petition will move to City Council June
23rd.
Action Item
Final Plat
There was no further discussion and Mr. Williams read the motion as follows: Motion: In
consideration of the proposed Final Plat of Subdivision of Grande Reserve Units 10B and 11B,
the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of the plats to the City Council as
presented by the Petitioner in plans prepared by Manhard Consulting, Ltd., last revised May 14,
2026. Mr. Williams moved to approve petition PZC 2026-02 Grande Reserve and Ms. Linnane
seconded. Roll call: Vinyard-yes, Williams-yes, Forristall-yes, Werderich-yes, Crouch-yes,
Green-yes, Linnane-yes. Carried 7-0.
3. PZC 2026-03 C1 Yorkville, LLC, petitioner, has submitted applications to the United
City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois for special use authorization for a major
amendment to an existing Planned Unit Development (PUD) and preliminary PUD Plan
approval for approximately 228 acres referred to as the Cyrus One CHI-11 data center
campus.
Ms. Noble presented a summary, showed a chart of the existing approvals as well as the changes
being requested by the petitioner and she described the property. She listed the site plan
decreases which include the number of buildings as well as the number of storys and heights.
Increases include number of parking spaces, building/site coverage, accesses, number of
stormwater basins and distance to nearest residential structure. Petitioner agreed to the energy
use standards, which were not in the original PUD. The phasing plan has changed from the one
in the originally posted packet and will be included in the voting motion as the “updated phasing
plan”. A letter from the petitioner included info about allocation of power and the agreements
are in place with ComEd. A letter regarding noise studies is also included.
Ms. Noble noted the petitioner had provided written responses to the standards and she then read
them for the Special Use and the PUD Plan. After each standard, the Commissioners discussed
and stated whether or not they were in agreement. In response to a question from Commissioner
Williams, it was clarified that even though no changes occurred to the Special Use previously
approved, it will need to be approved again tonight since it is a major amendment.
Special Use Standards
The Commissioners agreed all the standards had been met except the Standards listed below.
Standard #2 for Special Use: This states the Special Use will not be injurious of property in the
immediate vicinity for purpose permitted or diminish property values. Mr. Vinyard said he both
agreed and disagreed, there is impact and it was going to be a manufacturing district to start with.
Anything could have been built there. Mr. Green said it's already being built and asked, do we
want it bigger or smaller-they are proposing smaller. The change benefits us more now. Mr.
Page 4 of 5
Werderich said valid points were brought up in public comment and he thinks they need to be
addressed, specifically the noise effect on animals. For the record, he said this should be
discussed. He also brought up that it might be a rush to judgment that the animal effect wasn't
addressed. Chairman Vinyard said they met every other standard within the spirit of the law. Mr.
Williams noted that no agency regulates noise pollution for animals. Weighing in further, Ms.
Linnane stated she doesn't think, that as a commission, they should judge for animals for just
this data center if they don't do the same for every other project. Mr. Crouch said the petitioner
really did improve the project and the reconfigured phasing was a good idea. He also wanted to
mention that Yorkville schools will not receive money from this project, but Plano Schools will.
Regarding the sound and animal matters, there are no studies, but he noted one data center project
is near a national zoo which has concern. He added that the traffic issue needs to be addressed,
but they have met the standards. Mr. Crouch also said this was zoned manufacturing and that no
zoning was changed to accommodate this project. Mr. Williams said the city benefited since the
decibels could have gone to 60, but are now much lower. Commissioners Werderich and
Williams stated it was beneficial to have this discussion on the record.
Six Commissioners agreed the standards were met, with one dissenting opinion.
Standard #3 for Special Use concerning establishment of Special Use will not impede normal and
orderly development, improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. Mr.
Williams said not all property surrounding this property is zoned M-2 and that is his concern. He
disagreed that the Standard was met.
Preliminary PUD Standards
Ms. Noble presented the 6 standards for the PUD Plan and the Commissioners agreed all
Standards had been met.
Ms. Noble noted a change in the motion language for the Preliminary PUD Plan to read “updated
phasing plan as presented by the petitioner at tonight's Public Hearing”.
MINUTE-TAKER'S NOTE: Regarding the below 2 motions, Chairman Vinyard asked for a
motion for the “Major Amendment to Special Use for Planned Unit Development”.
Inadvertently, the motion was read for the “Major Amendment to Preliminary PUD Plan”. In
essence, the motions and corresponding votes were done in reverse order.
Action Item
Major Amendment to Preliminary PUD Plan
Discussion concluded and Chairman Vinyard entertained a motion for approval of PZC 2026-03
CHI 11 (Cyrus One) Data Center Major Amendment to Special Use for Planned Unit
Development. Commissioners Williams and Linnane moved and seconded, respectively.

COMMISSIONER FORRISTALL: Yes.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: All right. We're
starting our public hearing. PZC 2026-0 1 , the
United City of Yorkville, the petitioner, is
proposing to amend the Yorkville Comprehensive
Plan, including a modified land use map pursuant
to Section 11-2 -7 of the Illinois Municipal Code,
and Section 9 -1 -1 of the Yorkville City Code.
Is the staff ready to make its
presentation?
MR. HANSEN: Yes, we are.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Very good. Go ahead,
sir.
MR. HANSEN: So this item tonight is
about the Comprehensive Plan future land use
amendments. Each year the City reviews past
rezoning approvals to ensure the Comprehensive
Plan's future land use designations are
up-to-date.

year, staff provides memos, which also include a

Comprehensive Plan section, which includes the
current future land use designation of that land
before the project and whatever the proposed
project would be to change that area if it's
approved. We also mentioned about the
Comprehensive Plan's future land use for that as
well, so if the rezoning is approved and an
amendment is required, that certain area needs to
be amended, and that's why we're here tonight.
Also, the Comprehensive Plan's land
use map serves as a guide for future development
and zoning decisions; however, it is also
intended to be amended when conditions warrant a
change in planning direction within a specific
area of the city.
In 2025 and 2026 the City Council
approved six developments that required rezoning.
Since these approvals are inconsistent with the
future land use designations outlined in the
adopted 2016 Comprehensive Plan, amendments to
the future land use map and land use designations
are required for each type of area to bring them
up-to-date.

packet, there is a list or a table of
developments that are impacted by each of these
approvals. I will quickly go through them.
The first one is Restore Church.
That one is actually from 2022, the notice was
not part of any future -- any past -- excuse me,
any previous amendment listed for prior years, so
we also included that.
We did that last year as well with
New Leaf, we caught that one as well, so that's
also very common, if we do -- or going through
each year, we do go through that process as well
to ensure we didn't miss any.
Also the D M Y F Loftus, that was a
rezoning to general indus -- that was to M -2
which was going to General Industrial; both the
Project Steel and Project Cardinal projects,
those are both data center approvals; the 1 .5
mile review, that was in unincorporated Kendall
County, that was for a solar farm, the Kendall
County Board approved that item in October of
2025; and then the last two are
institutional-related.
One of them is the south receiving

Michigan project, that's off of Illinois Route
1 26, as well as Wing Road, and the other one is
the Yorkville School District, that recent
annexation that was -- since it got annexed into
the City it was R -1 and that had to be changed to
Public Institutional, so from a -- that's from
the zoning perspective, so from the future land
use perspective, it has to be changed to
Institutional to line up with that future zoning.
Otherwise, if you have any
questions, I can elaborate on either of these,
and the City Council would be considering this on
June 23rd if all goes through.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Very good. Is there
anyone present tonight who wants to speak on this
matter?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Anyone on Zoom who
wants to speak on the petition to amend the
Yorkville Comprehensive Plan for previous changes
being made?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Nope. All right.

Are there any questions by the Commissioners?
Does anyone have any questions about this? Most
of you were here for most of this. I was here
for the church and just general housekeeping.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS: Yep. Pretty
straightforward.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Yes. All right.
Thank you very much. We will move on to the next
public hearing item.
PZC 2026-0 3 , C 1 Yorkville, LLC,
petitioner, has submitted applications to the
United City of Yorkville, Kendall County,
Illinois, for a special use authorization for a

Avenue, Suite 200, in Naperville, here this
evening on behalf of CyrusOne, or C 1 Yorkville,
as the applicant on the property -- on the
application before you.
Krysti, can you go to the first
slide?
So a little bit of background on
CyrusOne. I think many of you were here when we
were before you in 2024, but CyrusOne is a
leading global data center developer and
operator. They specialize in delivering
state-of-the-art digital infrastructure
solutions.
They own and operate in nine
countries globally, they own over 6 0 data centers
around the world, so this is not a speculative
developer, someone looking to rezone land with
the possibility of a future data center.
We have an owner-operator and a data
center who is looking to come to Yorkville, be a
member of the community and build a facility that
they will operate over the long-term.
This is a slide depicting the plan
that was approved by the City of Yorkville in

2024, so you see the label 2024 approved plan.
We will reference this kind of throughout the
presentation tonight.
The plan that you see is nine
buildings; those buildings are all two-story
buildings. The buildings themselves are about
55-feet tall. With the rooftop mechanicals and
the associated screening, those buildings extend
to about 70 feet in height.
The approved plan has a very large
substation -- or the 2024 plan has a very large
substation and there was 2 ,451,000 square feet of
building space that was approved in that plan.
Since we were approved in 2024 we
have worked collaboratively with staff at
Yorkville and we have facilitated a number of
utility installations in terms of water and sewer
that have been completed throughout the area
around the property. Next slide, Krysti.
In 2026 we came before the City with
a minor amendment that was approved in February.
The minor amendment was really intended to be a
quick change to the plan that would allow us to
get under construction with substation

improvements, and so what we did is we made some
modifications to the plan primarily driven around
activity that needed to commence early this year
and it was for the substation, so the hand is
over the substation area, which is identified in
red. We reduced the size of the substation by
about 50 percent when we came in with the minor
change in February.
We also found some improvement in
circulation on Eldamain Road and so we
reconfigured that access drive at Eldamain Road a
little bit. Again, this was approved in
February.
Very shortly after February we
pulled the permit and we began construction of
the substation and the access road improvement,
so different than other data centers you have
talked about, this is a data center that is here
in Yorkville, it is under construction. This is
an active project.
The plans before you tonight seek to
make some modifications to the approvals, but we
are moving forward. We are an active data center
project in town.

This is documentation that we have
submitted in support of the application that is
in front of you this evening. I have listed a
whole host of plans and reports on this slide.
I would ask that these documents be incorporated
into the record here this evening.
I will come back, and as we kind of
conclude I will come back and talk a little bit
some of these plans and reports in a few minutes.
This slide shows the -- introduces
the host of people I 've got sitting to my right.
So these are subject matter experts, these are
the folks that are responsible for preparation of
much of the documentation that was disclosed on
that slide, that last slide.
I am going to provide a high-level
overview of documentation this evening. The goal
is -- If we went through all of it, we'd be here
for hours on end. The goal is to kind of provide
a high-level overview given that we have already
been through this public hearing process.
This is property that was zoned M -2
for manufacturing use even when we came in, so it
has always been consistent with the Comprehensive

Plan, we didn't seek a change to the
Comprehensive Plan, and so we're making minor
adjustments and I just want to go through some of
that detail high level and then we can dig into
more specifics, if necessary.
So this is the -- this is the PUD
plan that we submitted. It depicts a layout of
the buildings and associated improvements, such
as a substation, roadways, parking areas,
perimeter fencing and stormwater detention.
The PUD also includes a site data
table with necessary and appropriate information
that dovetails with the underlying zoning.
Notably, with the major change, we
have maintained larger setbacks that were
incorporated in the 2024 approval. We have a
150-foot building setback to Eldamain, which is
six times the required 25-foot setback in the
underlying M -2 zoning district.
Along Beecher Road the building
setback is more than 250 feet. To the south the
building separation to one of the private
residences along Faxon Road has increased from
485 feet to 833 feet with the plan that's before

you.
Core changes to the plan include the
elimination of one building, reduction in square
footage. Again, I mentioned 2 .4 million, almost
2 .5 million, with the 2024 plan; we reduced that
to 2 .1 to 2 .2 million. With the approval in
February of '26 with this plan, there is another
reduction that takes us to 1 .85 million square
feet.
And so it was originally approved as
nine buildings, we're at eight buildings now.
The buildings were originally approved as
two-story buildings, we have gone to eight
single-story buildings.
Original plans as I said permitted
almost 2 .5 million, we're down to 1 .85. This
most recent reduction with this plan is another
reduction of about 300,000 square feet.
I mentioned already two-story
buildings were approved at up to 70 feet.
Revised buildings are approximately 51 feet to
the top of rooftop screening. Next slide,
Krysti.
This is a site plan overlay. This

was -- we developed this in kind of coordination
with staff to help really delineate what the
changes were from the approved minor change to
the plan that's before you, and so what you see
in red is the minor change that is approved
today.
What you see in the black in sort of
the background, the black scale, is the minor
change that's consistent with the PUD plan that
we showed just a second ago.
So when you look at this plan you
can see that we have eliminated the access at
Faxon Road. In lieu of that Faxon Road access we
have pushed the access over to Beecher Road.
There are two existing residences to the south on
Faxon Road. Moving that traffic to Beecher Road
we thought was beneficial.
With doing that we've also created a
very large consolidated stormwater basin. We
will look at how I think that improves some of
the open space around the campus in just a
minute.
With the shift from two-story
buildings to single-story buildings, obviously we

are increasing the footprint of the buildings,
and so you can see a re-delineation or
re-orientation of all of the buildings with the
two-story spaces coming down to single-story
spaces. Next slide, please.
So this is sort of an interesting
slide because when we looked at it we wanted to
try to help explain -- the staff report calls out
the increases in building coverage and the
increases in site coverage. I think we were --
catch up on my notes here.
Under code, 85-percent site coverage
is allowed. We're at 17.3 percent site
coverage -- I 'm sorry, building coverage. While
that's an increase over what was approved in
the -- in the original 2024 plan, it's still a
significant reduction from what's allowed in
code.
We're at 52.75-percent site coverage
with the revised plan. While again that's an
increase in site coverage, allowable under code
is 85 percent, so we're still well below the
threshold allowable in code.
It's really -- that change in the

building coverage and the site coverage is really
driven by the change from two-story building to
single-story building, but as we did that, there
were some other changes we made to the plan that
I wanted -- I think this slide helps bear out.
So if you're looking at the plan on the left,
that is the approved minor change.
One thing I would note is in the top
of that plan, so the kind of purple cross-hatch,
that is the area of the approved plan that was
designated for future development, that area is
almost 33 acres.
We always contemplated that there
would be development there, we didn't know what
it would look like. Now with the change to
single-story buildings we're developing that
space, so it was -- we certainly contemplated
that there would be improvements there, that the
improvements in that location would increase
building coverage and site coverage overall, and
that's part of the change being incorporated
here.
When you look at the plan on the
right and you compare it to the plan on the left,

the sort of red-hatching around the perimeter
delineates the portion of the property that's
outside of the secured perimeter fence.
So if you recall back from a couple
years ago or data centers you have seen more
recently, these are generally secure facilities.
We will have an eight-foot metal fence
delineating the perimeter of the property.
Really the question becomes where
that fence goes on the perimeter of the property
and then how does the property sort of relate to
the surrounding improvements.
And so on the left you can see that
our fence was set up originally such that there
was very little in the way of open space outside
of the fence, so we had a larger interior campus
being secured by the fence.
With the changes, with the major
change, we have come back and we have re-oriented
the fence, we have changed the delineation of
the -- how the stormwater is functioning, and
that's in the south. You can see that's really
going to improve the manner in which the
buildings relate to folks that are traveling up

and down Eldamain Road.
We don't have a lot in the way of
residential or commercial neighbors here, but I
think as people are traveling on Beecher Road,
Faxon Road or Eldamain Road, some of the
additional spaces outside of the fence will
really help improve the character.
And also when you pair that in
combination with the buildings going from
two-story to one-story, it's an overall
improvement of the character and how we relate to
the external community. Next slide, please.
So this is the landscape plan, and
so this is -- this is generally consistent with
what we had before. Again, obviously some of the
infrastructure moving around, though, but you can
see that we've got berming consistent along
Eldamain Road and along Faxon Road.
The berm on Eldamain varies in size
a little bit. I think we're kind of working with
staff on the berming south along Faxon Road.
There is discussion of an eight-foot tall berm in
that location. We have Type D landscaping speced
along all of the roadway corridors. That

landscaping is located within a 100-foot
landscape easement.
So the thought process is here we've
got groupings of trees, we've got ornamental
trees, we've got evergreen trees and we've got
overstory deciduous trees, so we've sort of
got -- those trees are stacked on each other and
we've got different growth patterns to those
trees, so as they grow up over time we create a
very nice buffer around the perimeter of the
campus.
And again -- I 've said it a hundred
times already, but I 'll say it again -- also with
the shrinking of the buildings and the
significant landscape around the perimeter,
landscape going on top of a berm, the entire data
center campus begins to fade into the background.
Phasing plan, and so this is -- this
is actually updated since we were at EDC last
week. It's -- in substance it remains very
similar, we've just kind of flipped the colors.
So what we're showing here is
generally three construction phases, and this
phasing plan relates more to site infrastructure

and then how buildings would be constructed from
there than it does the specific order of the
building.
So what we're showing here is three
construction phases. The pink represents the
current phase. Again, we've have been under
construction since early this year. That
substation pad is substantially complete or
substantially underway.
We anticipate the transformers will
be delivered later this year. We would also
anticipate being under construction with our
first building later this year.
When we were at EDC we had
originally scheduled that the gray area was going
to be our Phase II; we have since flip-flopped
that.
So the green is our Phase II, the
area north of the access drive, there are two
buildings up in that location. Here we're saying
that we're going to start with the building along
Eldamain Road, but more importantly what we're
saying is that in that green area we would be
completing all of the infrastructure improvements

within one phase, so we would construct the
ponds , we would construct the landscaping, all
the fencing would be put in, the roadways would
be put in, and then the buildings can both be
added as necessary based on demand or Cyrus'
construction schedule.
Once we're complete with Phase II we
would then be able -- yeah, Phase II, we would
then be able to move into Phase III, Phase III
being the larger section of the property, which
is obviously a more substantial investment.
This is an aerial -- well, it looks
like it's maybe 198 0 , this is actually a May,
2026 aerial, and so just by way of orientation,
you can see the north-south road on the left side
of the screen, that is Eldamain Road; you can see
the significant manufacturing industrial facility
to the west of Eldamain Road, that's the Menards
Distribution Center; the ComEd substation, which
is a massive regional substation is just north of
the CyrusOne property, that substation is
obviously making this area an attractive location
for data centers; and then just south of the
substation facility you can see where

improvements have commenced for construction of
the data center campus.
So you can see that road aligning
with the access drive to the Menards campus,
coming into the CyrusOne property, and then
ultimately the layout of the substation there
well underway.
So this is an elevation. Nominally
the elevations have not functionally changed, so
what we're doing here in terms of architectural
styling is entirely consistent with what you
would have seen before, so you've got a lot of
tilt-up concrete, but we want to create very
welcoming entrances, so what you're looking at
here is two-story building entrance about 36 feet
in height on each of the entrances.
The office component at each
entrance is about 33,000 square feet where we
would house CyrusOne employees, some contractors,
and then employees from tenant.
A little bit uncertain, we don't
have tenants at this point in time. We would be
in the market looking for tenants. Depending on
who we secure in tenants, that's going to kind of

help us determine what the ultimate employee load
is at a facility like this.
But you can see this is sort of a
modern Class A office building structure that is
ultimately attached to the data center building
and is a great working environment. Next slide,
please.
Okay. So back to this one, and I 'm
going to hit my notes on this. So I hit this at
the beginning, but I wanted to kind of conclude
on this as a sort of summation of a lot of the
documentation that we have put in in support of
the case, even though the case is really pretty
straightforward in the sense that we are reducing
square footage and we're shrinking from two-story
buildings to one-story buildings, in coordination
with staff and knowing some of the discussion
around data centers lately, we wanted to be very
comprehensive in the type of information we got
you.
So just running through this
documentation real quickly, items one and two,
those are really application materials. Those
are form documents that we filled out. They're

the standard city forms applicable to the type of
action we're taking here, so that's very standard
documentation.
The petition for a major amendment
to a planned unit development, so this is a legal
document that I put together, that document goes
through all of the findings of fact that this
Commission considers and it speaks to
collectively the studies and what we're seeking
to do with this campus, how it relates to the old
approvals and substantiates how we believe we
meet the standards for your approval here
tonight.
The Plan council comment response,
so when we initially submitted plans -- and I
don't remember exactly when that was, back in
April, maybe, City staff takes the documents in,
they do a review and then we do some back and
forth iteration on the plans, right? There's
certainly questions that staff has, there's
engineering issues that need to be worked out, so
this is one of those sort of first documentations
that begin to flush those issues out.
So staff issues a memo. What we did

is we provided detailed responses to all of the
issues that were raised by staff in that memo, so
that detailed changes that we were making to the
plans based on staff's suggestions . It answered
questions.
By way of example, when we were
granted approvals in 2024, you did not have
energy use standards. As a result of you not
having them, but there being some discussion of
them, we didn't know, we couldn't agree to comply
with standards that we didn't understand, right,
and so we included in the approvals in 2024 a
blanket waiver of energy use standards that we
knew were going to be a dopted in the near term.
Those have since been adopted, we
can see them, we understand them, it's
specifically delineated in Krysti's staff report,
but we have agreed to meet those energy standards
even though we have a waiver from them from 2024,
so that's -- that's by way of example the type of
things that are included in that Plan comment
response there.
The legal description is pretty
self-explanatory. Major change to the

preliminary PUD, the preliminary engineering
plan, those are both documents from our civil
engineer, so the preliminary PUD plan I showed
you, the engineering plan is delineating utility
locations and how we intend to lay out utilities.
That will ultimately be supplanted by final
engineering plans if we receive approval of the
updated plans.
Plat of subdivision, we submitted a
plat of subdivision originally, we ended up
pulling back on the plat of subdivision; we will
come forward with a plat of subdivision to create
a legal lot of record when we come in with final
engineering. I think we just kind of got ahead
of the process, so that's kind of a technical
detail.
Color building renderings, so this
was a package, you saw one slide from it which
really showed the important component which was
that entry detail, but our color renderings show
the four sides of the building, what everything
will look like, the materials and all of the
building heights.

renderings you would see that the main precast
component of the building is about 24 feet in
height.
The infrastructure phasing plan we
looked at, the residential setback exhibit we
looked at. That was that overlay that had the
red and black on the plan.
The landscape design color exhibit
we looked at, so that was the plan that
delineated the Type D landscaping and the berming
that would happen around the perimeter roadways.
The economic impacts and fiscal
benefits, so those are studies that were done by
a third-party consultant of us looking at what
would be the -- what would be the economic
impacts and the fiscal impacts of development of
this facility.
At the end of the day I know that
while the City is always concerned about needing
to understand what fiscal impacts, the residents
are very much concerned about other health
impacts. It's important to understand these
details, though.

study is that property tax dollars are about
$16 million annually, so every year at
stabilization, full build-out of the campus.
It's actually the same number in
terms of electric utility tax at stabilization,
full build-out of campus.
So sum total dollars -- and that's
not just to Yorkville, right, because property
taxes get split up -- but it would be $16 million
annually in property taxes, $16 million annually
in electric utility taxes. Yorkville does get
all of the $16 million in electric utilities
taxes.
The natural resource information
report, that's a report that gets issued by the
Soil and Water Conservation District. They're
looking at maps and they're trying to understand
are there important elements here or is this
property suitable for development. There was
nothing in the NRI report that would forestall
development here.

Resources that there is nothing here in terms of
threatened or endangered species to be concerned
about.
SHPO correspondence, so this used to
be I H PA. This is a historic preservation
documentation, so it's also through IDNR or the
Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
This is little bit different here
than what we submitted. They did have some
things pop on their maps. We went out, we hired
a professor from the University of Illinois. He
did a Phase I archeological survey, we submitted
the Phase I archeological survey.
There was nothing of importance on
the property that was found based on the survey
details, how that type of documentation is
created, and they went ahead and terminated the
consultation, so we have a clear from SHPO.
The data center impact analysis, so
this is sort of an interesting one. We went out
and we hired a gentleman, Mark Pruitt, who is
former director of -- I lost it.

and Mark looked at what are the impacts
a ssociated with the data center, is it going to
affect reliability power delivery, is it going --
what does it mean with respect to pricing.
His conclusions are in the report,
but at the end of the day he is showing that we
already have allocation of power from ComEd;
ComEd and applicable agencies, P J M , have
considered the development of this property, they
understand the pipeline and they have allocated
power accordingly. The power letter sort of
dovetails with that study.
A traffic impact study was prepared
by KLOA; we've got Javier Milan with us here
tonight. The traffic study is really lesser
included with this because we are reducing square
footage, so we have gone through that process
before.
The traffic impact study says that
the surrounding roadways can certainly
accommodate the traffic associated with the
proposed development.

with us today. Andrew and I have worked together
before on solar field developments, and so Andrew
looked at what is the potential impact to
property values associated with the data center
development.
In his study, in his memo, he looks
at some peer-reviewed studies that have said in
northern Virginia they have looked at comparisons
to homes in close proximity to data centers to
homes that are a little further removed from data
centers and has there been negative impact on
those sales associated with the data center. The
conclusion was no.
Andrew then went on and did a
similar study of his own. He got -- he found
three comparable data centers in the Midwest,
looked at the -- a similar situation, right, so
we weren't looking at Elk Grove Village, we were
looking more at like an Iowa facility that was
similarly situated to Yorkville, and he ran a
similar analysis looking at where sales had
occurred proximate to the data center and found
that there was -- it was unlikely that there
would be a negative impact due to the adjacency

of the data center.
The noise study and the noise study
comment responses, so Trinity is here, that is
our sound consultant. They looked at all of the
inputs from the data center, those are cooling
units, they're generators, they're transformers,
and they created a model based on our site plan
to study what would be the potential impacts,
what is the sound at required measurement
locations around the facility.
They compared the model of sound
from our data center to both Illinois Pollution
Control Board requirements and City of Yorkville
requirements, ultimately finding that we meet
applicable standards under both Illinois
Pollution Control Board, which is a more
stringent restriction based on octave bands.
We're not just looking at a sum dBA measurement,
but we're looking at the various octave bands
that would obviously consider those lower
threshold noises.

determination from wetland exhibit, the wetland
assessment letter, the delineation exhibit, all
of these documents relate to two wetlands that
are located on the property.
The wetlands are roughly 2 .7 acres.
They're non-jurisdictional, so they're not -- not
wetlands that the federal government is taking
jurisdiction over and would look to protect.
As such we look to City ordinances
to determine what we do with those wetlands.
One of two choices, we can either pay a fee in
lieu or we can work with City staff on a
localized improvement that would offset the
impact of the wetlands.
We will be impacting the wetlands
with our revised report. We are actively in
conversations with the City's engineering team to
figure out if there is a way that we can build a
wetland proximate to the property, adjacent to
the property, that would offset the impacts, so
kind of a cool project that we've got in the
works there.

project or whether we pay a few in lieu, we have
the ability with this plan to comply with
Yorkville ordinances, so there is no functional
issue with respect to the wetland.
So that takes me through the
documentation. I think we're -- you know, we are
under construction, we're excited to be here in
Yorkville.
I just -- I want to reiterate that
this is not a new data center. I have seen stuff
even now on social media we don't want any more
data centers.
This is not a new data center, this
is a data center that's actively being
constructed in Yorkville. We think the changes
that we are coming at you with here this evening
are material improvements that I think the
community, if comparing the 2024 major -- the
2024 plan or the 2026 plan to what we've got here
today would see and understand that this is a
good, positive step forward.

Group. We are a t 200 1 York Road in Oak Brook,
Illinois. We also have here Brian Johnson from
our office, who is a principal of the company.
If you come down to that major
change, I know that Russ pretty much covered
everything on this plan, it was just the change,
and that it is still seven-and-a -half buildings,
and this is the landscape plan showing the
buffers along Eldamain, also along Faxon and
Beecher Roads. We also have them around the
detention ponds at the north and in that area.
This being the phasing plan, as he
also said, the first building up there is Figure
11-A , that would be constructed and all of the
necessary infrastructure that would need to be
constructed for that building would be completed.
I guess the first phase actually is
the substation as he said, which is the mass
grading pad is completed and the transformers
should be coming rather soon, and then
foundations and install those for that, Phase II
then was that other area, and then the Phase III
will just kind of move on into that in the
future, this being the residential comparison and

setback mainly to the residential directly to the
south and then the one to the southwest.
The numbers there increased from --
let's see, the one on the southwest increased
from -- from 543 feet to 732 feet, the one to the
south increased from 485 feet to 833 feet, so
with this change in the plan and shifting that
stormwater detention basin along the south
property line, it increases that and gives a
better look from that direction.
The site coverage --
MS. NOBLE: This one.
MR. TROSTLE: This one, and, again, as
he indicated, that northwest area, it --
developing that they knew that it was going to be
developed eventually and that's what increases
the site coverage numbers, as well as the fact
that the building is going from two story to
single story.
The area outside the fence, I think
that the numbers show that there was an increase
of that area outside the fence basically because
of that stormwater detention facility along the
south and in the range of about an additional

five acres of area.
These are the preliminary
engineering plans. This is just a cover sheet
showing the general orientation of the project.
This, we went through and did a concept grading
plans looked at general grades across the site
just confirming that with these buildings in
these locations and stormwater detention basins
that everything would flow correctly into the
stormwater detention basins with the tributary
areas for storm sewer, which can be seen on the
next slide, which is the utility plan, showing
that -- generally just going through the entire
site to just get a feel for what infrastructure
needed to be completed ahead of time, especially
the handle that -- the building up in the

about me, I have been with Corgan about 20 years,
vast majority of that's been focused on data
center design. Licensed here in Illinois and
also ten additional states.
Already ran through the elevation
here, but, again, core materials here, largely
concrete precast walls, we've got articulation
with glazing and metal panel to break up these
facades.
Hard to see here because they are
set back, you will see it in the elevations in
the next slide. Rooftop equipment is fully
screened, both visually and providing assistance
with acoustics.
The equipment at grade, you can see
on either side of the main admin portion there
it's all, again, visually screened by precast
walls, in addition to the loading dock. You can
see that on the top elevation on the left there .
To some of the points that were made
earlier by Russ, by comparison, if you visually
look at the top of this building where the top of
the screened wall is, the approved plans,
probably that screen wall height, again, taller,

just to give a general sense of how much this
building has been reduced in height from a visual
point of view.
Again, facade along the other side,
again, here you can see the equipment being
screened. You can't see the equipment, got a
wall in the way, and then the next elevation is
going to be very similar to this one, it's just
the other side. Buildings very symmetrical, so
it's kind of the same.

mitigation.
All right. So a quick overview,
what we provided was a sound study of the
projected noise levels of the data center campus
and we modeled emergency generators, as Russ
said, chillers and transformers.
We ensure -- we use the model to
design -- to design mitigation to ensure that we
meet and comply with the IPCB requirements as
well as the Yorkville City noise ordinance.
For that we have pictures here of --
we have representative pictures of chiller
barriers or rooftop unit barriers in the --
sorry, the middle image. Yeah.
That image, however, is only
representative so that you can see the equipment
behind it; however, our plan is in this campus to
surround all of the chillers completely. It's
only like this so it's easier to understand.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Thank you.
MR. IGLESIAS: In the top image, that is
a cooling unit completely enclosed with acoustic
attenuation, and that is our plan to proceed and
mitigate the sounds produced by the campus.

And then the picture at the bottom
just depicts the barrier that Mike just showed us
with the elevations, and that is helping
constrain the sound from the generators in case
of emergencies or anything, and to that point,
the generator run time is minimal for sure and
will only be used in emergencies or in
maintenance situations. All right. You can go
on to the next slide. Sorry, one more. Actually
one more.
So a little more detail. This is --
Here we have the two codes that apply to the
surrounding areas and to the project, and they
just delineate the noise requirements, and as you
can see we were required to be at these noise
levels at a maximum, so we have complied and we
are expected to project the noise levels -- noise
levels that are below these requirements. That
is for the -- both Yorkville ordinance as well as
the IPCB code. I 'm sorry, next slide. Yeah.
So the way we did this is, as I
explained earlier and as Russ explained, we
modeled air-cooled chillers. The image there
represents the building layout in our noise

modeling software, and the blue items there are
representative of the noise sources, and we
projected this onto the receivers labeled R 1
through R 10, and that is how we are able to
confirm that the projected noise levels, the
expected noise levels, will comply with the
codes.
And again, bigger pictures if you
will, and as I stated before, these are
representative images for the generators since
they are behind the acoustic barrier. They are
provided with enclosures that ensure they don't
produce -- that they mitigate the noise they
produce.
And so here is just a table of our
results, the same picture from our methods, and
these indicate where the City of Yorkville
requirements apply, and those are the -- and all
of these receivers within the Yorkville ordinance
jurisdiction surely comply and the levels are
below the requirements during daytime and
nighttime requirements as the code
differentiates.

to the jurisdiction previously, the consultant,
Soundscape, the acoustic consultant retained by
the City of Yorkville, requested us to expand our
study further, and it I believe is 26 places that
we were asked to analyze the noise levels, and if
you flip to the next page, there is a whole lot
of numbers that tell you we meet the -- we meet
the requirements, particularly required by the
IPCB noise limits, as they are very stringent and
they are -- they delineate the octave bands, so
the frequencies and everything need to be
compliant. You can go on to the next one.
This is just a simple heat map, is
what we call it, that just projects what noise
levels would look like all around instead of just
spot points. That's kind of what the soundscape
would be.
And on the left you have the general
nighttime requirements and there are no
generators operating whatsoever, and in the
daytime on your image on the right, that is
simply representative of two generators being
tested per building, if required.
It is rare testing -- rare that

testing or maintenance needs to happen, but if
required, they would only happen during daytime
hours, and they also still abide to the Yorkville
as well as IPCB requirements.
And here is simply a thermometer to
give the community or give Board members a little
bit of intuition of what these numbers really
mean.
Back in September of 2024 we came to
the site and we took some background noise level
measurements just to have an understanding of the
soundscape. It is a typical procedure that is
provided in projects like these, and this is just
a representative of those locations and noise
levels.
All right. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Thank you.

Trinity for four years, focused specifically in
Illinois for air permitting and compliance work
in Illinois. Next slide.
As far as air emission sources for
the proposed development, that's going to consist
almost entirely of emergency generators, so as
the name implies, those are intended to provide
emergency backup power in the event of a utility
outage.
In addition to operating in
emergency capacity, there are also short periods
of regular maintenance and readiness testing. As
the name -- term implies there as well, the
purpose of that testing is to ensure in a true
emergency situation that the generators are able
to operate as intended.
And so in a year where you don't
have an emergency event, you can expect that each
generator will operate an average of 10 to
15 hours per year. Next slide.
So the Clean Air Act requires that
the USEPA establishes national ambient air
quality standards, or NAAQS, that are designed to
protect human health and environment, so those

standards -- those are the standards that are
established based on research to prove that the
air quality in that area is suitable to healthy
living.
The Clean Air Act also requires the
USEPA to establish emission standards for
particular emission sources, so in this case
emergency generators.
There is two federal regulations
that we were mainly concerned with, those being
the New Source Performance Standards, Quad I , and
the National Emission Standards For Hazardous Air
Pollutants, Quad Z , to aid in achieving those
national ambient air quality standards.
So essentially sources of a certain
type comply with the provisions of those subparts
and those subparts are meant to ensure that areas
are able to achieve these NAAQS.
In addition to that, you also have
the Illinois EPA, who is the state authority.
They issue permits to emission units or to
sources with emission units to ensure that those
USEPA standards are met.
On top of those there may also be

additional state-specific standards that are
promulgated by the Illinois Pollution Control
Board.
Coming to the -- So the permittee
side of things, in those permits the Illinois EPA
will specify manners by which a permittee has to
demonstrate compliance, and so that could be
things like recordkeeping, you know, for example,
keeping track of fuel usage in the generators,
there could be testing requirements to prove that
the generators are achieving the standards laid
out in NSPS Quad I , and then there also could be,
you know, reporting associated with that, and
then some periodic inspections from the Illinois
EPA where someone from the Illinois EPA will
actually go out to the facility and ensure
through a review of the records available, as
well as a facility log, that they are maintaining
compliance with that permit.
This last slide here gets at the
requirements of those two federal subparts that I
referenced. So N SPS Quad I and NESHAP Quad Z
minimally require Tier II equivalent emergency --
or Tier II certified emergency generators.

CyrusOne is planning to install
generators that will be Tier IV equivalent, and
so this table here gives you a visual
demonstration of how the performance between the
two tiers if you will can differ, differs pretty
significantly.
And so while these Tier IV
equivalent generators are not required of
CyrusOne, CyrusOne is going above and beyond
those minimum requirements to install basically
the best control that they can.

on the types of materials that we store and how
we manage those materials and how we manage waste
in general, we are -- our operations are very
typical for data centers, so we have -- it's not
chemically intensive.
We do have fuel storage for the
generators, but in general the chemicals that are
on-site, aside from fuel, are typical chemicals
that are integrated into everyday type of
equipment you might see in your home, but just
kind of at a -- somewhat of a larger scale for a
commercial or a data center-type operation, so we
have things like refrigerant, batteries, lube oil
in our generators, batteries, again, in our
uninterruptible power supply system, and beyond
that other chemicals would really just be
incidental, you know, maintenance, cabinet-type
chemicals and whatnot.
From a regulatory perspective, even
though chemical storage is fairly minimal, we are
still regulated by a number of federal and often
local rules that, you know, ensure that we are
handling these chemicals in a safe way.
So some of those rules are spill

prevention rules under 4 0 CFR 1 12, chemical
inventory reporting is required for all of those
chemicals that I listed that requires reporting
to fire department, local emergency planning
commission, state emergency planning commissions,
which refrigerant management needs to be
managed -- or needs to be in compliance with
federal regulations and, of course, waste
management, there is rules related to any kind of
regulated waste generated.
In general we are non-generator of
hazardous waste, so typically it's just general
trash and following recycling programs.
Spill prevention. So we do have
fuel storage, like I mentioned, associated with
our diesel generators. Standard B OD design is to
store that fuel in a double-walled belly tank is
what we call it, which is basically an
above-ground tank that's integral to the
emergency generator itself.
It's designed obviously with the
double wall to prevent spills, so in case there
is some sort of leak in the inner tank, the outer
tank is there to ensure that that leak does not

escape out into the environment.
Beyond that, on the previous slide I
mentioned we are regulated by federal spill
prevention rules under that 40 CFR 1 12 rule, so
that requires us to develop spill plans at all of
our data centers that require additional spill
prevention features like regular spill
inspections, standard fueling procedures,
bulkheads and training for our ops guys.

2024; a wetland delineation report was completed
by others in 2022 for Green Door Investments.
At the time that we were brought on, the
delineation was still technically valid.
We conducted a supplemental visit to
ensure conditions had not changed. We stated
that the findings were still appropriate and that
report would then be still good for another
two years.
We requested a no permit required
letter from the Army Corps of Engineers; they
issued that in July of 2024. At this point the
delineation is still valid until July of this
year, 2026.
The Yorkville ordinance will allow a
one-year extension at request, which I believe
the applicant will be putting forth. Should it
not be granted an extension or should additional
information need to be completed, we would do a
formal delineation either in 2026, 2027, if
necessary.
The project proposes impacts to the
two identified wetlands. These are farmed
wetlands, they are generally depressional

wetlands disconnected from any tributaries. As
Mr. Whitaker noted, those would be considered
isolated.
One minor correction, the approved
jurisdictional determination is pending; in the
2024 window, Army Corps was not issuing J Ds at
the time, they were on a hold due to the Sackett
Supreme Court ruling, so that will be provided,
though.
Under the Chapter 16 ordinance that
protects wetlands, this would be Category 2
wetland impact, impacts exceeding two acres.
As noted as well, there is two
avenues for wetland mitigation, one being an
in-lieu fee to the City, the other being an
off-site wetland improvement, so that would be
creation or enhancement of wetlands that are
within the impact area.
The applicant has the accessibility
to do both and the decision to move forward would
be with the City. And that's it.

the Planning and Zoning Commission as follows:
MR. MILAN: Good evening. My name is
Javier Milan, I am a principal with KLOA,
Incorporated. I got my Bachelor's degree from
Marquette University and have been conducting
traffic engineering studies for over 30 years.
I am also a member of the Institute
of Transportation Engineers, ITE, and I am also a
general traffic engineer for the Village of
Lombard. Next slide. Thank you.
So we conducted a traffic study
following all industry standards, the state of
Illinois and the county requirements as well as
the City.
This shows you the study area, you
know, basically Galena and Eldamain Road to the
north, Veteran's Parkway, Eldamain Road to the
south, and then to the east Corneils and Beecher
Road.
So traffic counts were conducted in
March of this year, 2026, and they were conducted
from 6 :00 to 9 :00 a .m . and 3 :00 to 6 :00 p .m .
You might say why. We want to see
when the peak hours of traffic occur. So once we

have that data -- we can go to the next slide --
we have to estimate the number of trips that the
development will generate, and this is done using
the Institute of Transportation Engineers' trip
generation manual.
This is the standard utilized by the
federal government, state, county, municipalities
and consultants alike.
So you can see in here what is
estimated to be generated between those peak
hours in the morning as well as in the afternoon
or the evening.
So these traffic volumes are
assigned to the area of roadway based on the
existing travel patterns, and you derive that
from the traffic counts.
Now, in order to not analyze things
in a vacuum, it is required to actually project
traffic to a certain time, in this case 203 1 , and
that is consistent with what the state and the
county requires.
So we received background growth or
projections from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency
for Planning. We apply that growth to the

existing traffic volumes, and once we have that,
then we add this traffic on top of it, and that's
the future conditions that we need to analyze.
We can go to the next slide.
So, sorry, it's a little bit too
long in there, but based on the results of the
analysis, as you heard Russ mention, the access
drive on the east side of Eldamain Road will
provide one inbound lane and two outbound lanes,
scribed for an exclusive left-turn lane and a
through combined for right.
The outbound movements will be under
stop sign control, and based on the analysis that
intersection should provide -- and this can be
done via restriping -- a southbound left-turn
lane to accommodate the southbound vehicles that
are going to turn left into the facility.
Same thing going northbound, they
would have to construct an exclusive northbound
right-turn lane to remove those vehicles that are
turning right from the through-traffic movement.
So basically, in conclusion, the
existing roadway system has sufficient reserve
capacity to accommodate the traffic estimated by

development based on the analysis will not have a
significant traffic impact on all of the studied
intersections that I mentioned on my second

So thank you very much.

MARK PRUITT,
having been first duly sworn, testified before

MR. PRUITT: Good evening. My name is
Mark Pruitt. Appreciate your time. I am the
regulatory guy on energy. You see my CV there.
Let's just go on to the material here.
We tried to organize this study that
I provided around what I would think would be the
rational questions people would want to ask, so I
am just going to pose the question and then run
through a high-level review of my response.
Happy to take questions now or later.
First question is will this data
center make electric reliability less in the
surrounding community, meaning will people have
lesser reliability after the data center is

created, and the answer is no.
Based on the studies, the
evaluations and the recommended upgrades and the
system design that have been approved by ComEd as
well as the developer, this development is
largely going to be isolated from the remainder
of the ComEd circuits that serve the rest of
Yorkville.
If there is a problem at the data
center campus, it will not extend out to the
surrounding community because it has a direct
connection to transmission.
If there are difficulties in the
remainder of Yorkville, that will not cause a
difficulty at the data center, so they are
largely operating on parallel activity lines
within the electrical system. Next slide,
please.
Another question that we get quite a
bit is well, is there enough power to support not
only this data center, but also existing
customers, meaning sometimes expressed as will
you be taking my power from me. The answer is
no.

One thing to just bear in mind is
that northern Illinois is part of a larger
wholesale market that extends -- it's called PJM,
stood for Pennsylvania, Jersey, Maryland back in
the very early days about a hundred years ago,
and PJM basically serves as the air traffic
controller for power plants within this
multi-state region.
So 57 -- I 'm sorry, 54 local
utilities serving 6 5 million customers coordinate
the operation of 1400 generating stations and
deliver that power to all those utilities over
8 8 ,000 miles of transmission lines.
So you have to -- When you're
thinking about the reliability and are there
enough power plants, it's not just are there
enough power plants in Illinois, it's are there
enough power plants in these 13 states, and P J M
operates under the authority of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission and operates on a
charter where it must maintain reliability,
meaning sufficiency of generation.
Typically they like to have a
reserve margin, which is extra generation

capacity, just to ensure that there is high
levels of reliability during all hours of the
year.
They're concerned about the hottest
summer afternoon and the coldest winter night,
and their job to make sure that they don't allow
any new loads to connect to that system that
would erode that reliability, or prevent power
plants from retiring that would cause that
reserve margin to erode as well.
So PJM and ComEd have both studied
this issue and have determined that there is
sufficient capacity to meet the meeds of this
data center as well as all existing ComEd
customers. Next slide, please.
Real practical question is what
about my utility bill, and before I answer this I
just want to set a little context, and this is
only because I 've had to deal with power prices
for a long time.
Prices go up and prices go down. I
understand prices are high now, I absolutely
understand that. I just want to point out that
we serve a -- the monthly prices for ComEd

customers over the past 15 years, in the month of
March, just so that we set aside any seasonal
differences and on an inflation-adjusted basis,
the price paid in March of '26 is 20 percent, or
a little bit more than that, below the price paid
in March of 2012. Not a lot of comfort, I
understand that.
However, the prices that we pay are
based on the relative balance of supply and
demand within that broader PJM market. Over the
past 15 years we have seen more power plants
retire and now we're seeing a growth in demand.
Well, when you have higher demand and lower
supply, you get higher prices.
The market response here is that
more generators are seeking to connect to that
P J M system. The PJM system -- and I don't want
to throw too many numbers at everybody -- but
it's about 190 ,000 megawatts, that's the maximum
generating capacity of that system.
There are currently 342 ,000
megawatts of new capacity being proposed for that
system, so like most markets, the supply follows
the demand.

We now see more demand; it will take
a little bit of time, but we do expect to see
this new supply coming online and a moderation of
prices, and on top of that, PJM, as well as FERC
and State of Illinois have all taken a series of
steps to either freeze or mitigate prices between
now and 2030.
So I 'm not saying that that's a
total solution, but this is how the market
operates, and this is -- the market in which we
live is PJM, and while it's not perfect, it's
what we have to live with.
Have had some folks ask, and so we
looked, as a ComEd customer, this data center
will be paying a fee every month under what's
called Rider REA.
REA collects fees that ComEd then
uses to purchase renewable energy for its ComEd
customers. It's set a t a rate, everybody pays
this, everybody pays the same rate, so as a large
user over the 30 years of operations of this
plant, this plant will pay over $647 million
towards renewable energy purchases by
Commonwealth Edison.

When we turn that into, okay, well
what does that really mean. That means that is
approximately 1 ,000 megawatts of new solar
generation in Illinois. A typical home is about
five kilowatts of maximum demand, so it will
contribute to the renewable energy development in
Illinois. Next slide, please.
On a similar basis, Rider EEPP
collects fees from all customers to support
ComEd's energy efficiency programs. This --
based on today's rates -- and they can go up, but
we just went with today's rates, this data center
will pay in about $621 million into those energy
efficiency funds, which pay for rebates for a lot
of energy efficiency products that are used in
individual homes, so we ran the numbers and a
typical incentive paid by ComEd for a residential
heat pump is about $2 ,000 today, so you run these
numbers over the 30 years, the revenue from
this -- from this one facility would generate
sufficient revenue to support about 300,000
residential heat pumps in northern Illinois.
Next slide.
And, lastly, we think about the

energy transition in Illinois, that's kind of big
policy talk and I 'm not going to bore you with
the details, you can go to Springfield and learn
about all those things, but there is another fee
that is ETAC, Rider ETAC, which is the energy
transition charge, and this is what pays for job
training for young people who are seeking
apprenticeships to get into the renewable energy
field, solar, battery, data management, all kinds
of education for younger workers.
Under Rider ETAC, this data center
will throw off or make payment of about
$108 million over 30 years, which based on the
cost of approximately $10,000 per
pre-apprenticeship training, will pay for about
10,000 pre-apprenticeship trainings in the state
of Illinois.
So yes, this data center, like all
data centers, is a large energy user, but just
in -- I 'm sorry, one more slide I think. So as a
large energy user, based on how the grid
operates, this -- it's -- deployment of this
asset has been approved by Commonwealth Edison
and PJM from a reliability standpoint, which is

their highest obligation, so based on their
expertise, there should be no problem on the
reliability side.
On the cost side, all the costs for
interconnecting the asset to the transmission
system, as well as the ongoing cost of delivering
electricity to the data center, are all based in
tariff and they are all fully burdened and fully
held by the data center. There is no
cross-subsidization with other consumers. And
then on the sustainability side, you just went
through the past few sides, so you see that there
is contributions there.
So thank you very much for your
time.

you can read all about primaries on economic and
fiscal impact analysis. Russ told me not to give
you one today.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Thank you.
MR. GRUEN: This is a summary of the
estimated total property and utility taxes that
are expected to be generated. It works out to
about five percent of the total tax revenues
attributable to property taxes, 95 percent
attributable to utility tax.
The property tax estimate's based on
a valuation of about $325 per foot, well below
development costs and within the range of
assessed -- assessed values for other
contemporary data center facilities. That also
works out to about a 201 million equalized
assessed valuation. You can go to the next
slide.
This is a summary of the taxing
entities that would receive the estimated
property tax revenue, and it is proposed about
$15,744,000.
I won't go through the calculations,

annual tax revenue from the electric tax, it
works out to about 2 ,161,000 per building for
seven buildings. There is a smaller building
that would be 1 ,082,000 electric tax. So those
are the two sources of fiscal benefit. We will
now fly through the economic benefit.
I just -- would just point out that
the jobs are total, they include the on-site
jobs, you have technicians, IT support,
management, security, maintenance and so on, but
also indirect and induced jobs.
These are the jobs that occur
because of the standing on various services by
the tenants and the business, and when workers
get paid, they go to the barber, they go to the
hair salon, gas station and so on, so it's
counting all sorts of jobs, not just the jobs on
site.
The average income per job's
estimated at 130,000, and this is based on -- the
Bureau of Economic Analysis has something called
a RIMS multiplier, as well as review of past
projects.

the construction process; obviously when the
construction process is done, there won't be any
more of those jobs.
Thank you.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Thank you.
ANDREW LINES,
having been first duly sworn, testified before
the Planning and Zoning Commission as follows:
MR. LINES: Hi. Good evening. I am
awake. Andrew Lines. I am your commercial real
estate appraiser. Started my career here in
Illinois, been practicing for almost 25 years,
it's getting pretty close. You can tell by the
gray hairs on my chin.
I am a partner with CohnReznick,
which is a national accounting firm. I run our
real estate valuation department, which is about
30 professionals strong. We appraise everything
from little homes to the Sears Tower and
everything in between.
One of my specialties is performing
impact studies. Russell mentioned earlier that
I 've have done some work on solar arrays, but I

have also tested landfills and quarries, truck
terminals, and that comes from a very specific
methodology that we are taught as appraisers, and
so I 'll take you a little bit through what I have
done. Obviously I am licensed here in Illinois
and I 'm licensed in a few other states.
So we did three things when we do
this kind of methodology, one is we try to see
what other people have said, so we canvassed the
internet and AI and appraisal journals to see if
anyone had done any statistical analysis on data
centers, and I 'll go over that in a second.
The second is we conducted our own
studies to determine whether or not we could see
any measurable and consistent evidence, which is
what the Appraisal Institute tells us we have to
see. We have to see it over and over and over
again to establish a trend.
And third we make calls to
individuals who would be familiar with
transactions, and so we do that for all of these
kind of impact studies.
So there is only one actual
statistical data center study out there and it's

in northern Virginia. Two PhDs from George Mason
University put this together, and obviously
northern Virginia is a hotbed of data center
development and so there is a lot of information
to study there.
So using Multiple Listing Service
they extracted thousands of sales and compared
these sales for homes that were closest to the
data centers and compared them with ones that
were further away, and what they found is that
the prices of these homes tend to go down the
farther they got away from data centers.
Now, they surmise that a lot of that
has to do with the infrastructure that was put in
around the data centers, which makes a lot of
sense, we all like good fiber and strong
internet, so it could be that some of those
property owners are paying a premium to be closer
to those areas. They are also well built out
with other commercial activities.
But this particular study does not
suggest there is any negative externalities
associated with the data centers being right
there. Obviously if this is a hotbed of data

center development, this is probably where we
might see that.
There is another white paper out
there that also looks at northern Virginia. It
looked at 1 30 zip codes. It's just a white
paper, it hasn't been peer reviewed, but it is
out there. You can find it on the internet. It
also surmises that there is no negative impact.
Next slide.
So what we did is we tried to find
other data centers that are existing, and
obviously we didn't want to look at Elk Grove
Village or downtown Chicago, so we were able to
find two Google campuses and one large Microsoft
campus that we thought were very representative.
The first one is in Council Bluffs,
which is about 20 miles from Omaha, right over
the border, it's in a growing suburb, and it's an
extremely large data center. It's three million
square feet. It's almost double what's proposed
here.
And in the corner where you see that
red box there was a nice home. It was developed
in 2015, actually pretty similar to the time that

the data center was initially opened, the very
first phase.
It sold for $614,000 then, and then
ten years later in 2025, after the second phase
had opened, it sold again for $1 .6 million.
We spoke with the broker for that
particular house and he noted that the buyers
were not concerned with being directly adjacent
to this extremely large data center, and the
details of that are in my study and memo that you
all have.
The second is another Google
facility. This is in Lancaster, Ohio, it's about
20 miles southeast of Columbus. It's a -- it's
a n Exurb that's in the path of development, I
think you guys would consider yourselves a little
bit the same, and so we looked at homes that sold
within about a mile of the facility and then
compared them with homes that were extended out
from one to three miles, so you can see kind of
the picture there, and so we looked at those
sales.
We divide them into groups based on
the kind of home they are, so we compare

one stories with other one stories, two stories
with other two stories and so on, so we separate
them in groups, and we did the same thing for the
third study, which is in Boone, Iowa, which is
about ten miles on the southwest side of Des
Moines.
Again we looked at homes that were
within a mile of that one and compared them to a
few subdivisions that were north about three and
a half miles, and we talked to brokers to make
sure that the subdivisions were relatively
equivalent.
We don't adjust any of the data, so
we're looking at factual sales. We may adjust
them slightly for the date of sale, so it's as if
they all transpired on the same date, but we
don't make any other adjustments, so we're just
looking at their prices per square foot and
judging the medians.
What we found, we had seven groups
total, is that the groups range from positive
five and a half percent to negative three percent
difference between the target and control groups,
so not enough for us to say that there is

absolutely a deterrent for living next to a data
center whatsoever. You can go to the next slide.
So it was a very nominal variance of
property values on a per-square-foot basis for
homes that were immediately adjacent to the data
center.
We also studied rates of
appreciation, so remember the first home that had
sold and sold again, we were able to track those
rates of appreciation and compare them to control
groups and then also to the FHFA Home Price
Index, which measures it by zip code.
And so we found for all the target
homes that we found that were within a mile of
the data centers that their appreciation rates
over time were equal to or higher than the F H F A
index and also control groups.
So no substantial difference in unit
sale prices or conditions of sale or basic
overall marketability, and we have confirmed
these with brokers who are part of these
transactions, including the $1 .6 million property
that I mentioned, who received multiple offers.
Not a concern for buyers. They said that, the

sellers, that Google was a good neighbor, and
that there was no perceptible noise from the data
center, and they were less than 2500 linear feet
away from the data center itself.
So again, based on the only
published study that's out there and based on the
work that we've done, my experience with data
centers over time, I have appraised these over
the last 20 years and based on what the changes
are and the proposed, where they're lowering the
building heights, and they've done a really
effective job it looks like of screening and
noise attenuance, I can't determine that there is
going to be any impact on some surrounding homes
of this particular community.
Thank you very much.

MR. KASPER: Good evening. My name is
Chuck Kasper. I live in Legacy Estates.
By the way, Mr. Pruitt, your slide,
sustainability is spelled wrong.
MR. PRUITT: Thank you.
MR. KASPER: So it's sustainability.
Couple questions, the tract of study projects
that the westbound left-turn lane that Mr. I
think it was Iglesias spoke about at the site's
main access drive on Eldamain will operate at a
level of service F . So like school, A -B -C .
Green was C , but in this case there is an E . F
is red.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Yeah, we have it.
MR. KASPER: Okay.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Yeah, I have it.
MR. KASPER: All right. So trying to
figure that out, with delays of 99-plus seconds
in the evening peak hour at full build-out.
How is a failing level of service F
acceptable and what is being done to fix it
rather than explain it?

address that now?
MR. WHITAKER: Do we --
MS. NOBLE: Yes. There is a microphone
right there. Make sure it's turned on.
MR. WHITAKER: So do we want to do them
individually or do we want -- like if there is a
bunch of questions ?
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: He's got the
question, you go ahead and just answer it.
MR. KASPER: And I appreciate that.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Yep, absolutely.
MR. MILAN: So, yes, there is a level
service F for that left-turn movement. That is
actually very typical of the signalizing
processes when you have a minor road intersecting
a major road like Eldamain.
So besides the level of service and
the delay -- and I need to explain something in
the delay. He is correct in everything that he
is talking about, the seconds of delay and so
forth, but the unfortunate thing is the analysis
does not take into account the gaps that are in
the through-traffic stream that are created by
the signals to the north and the south.

It also does not take into account
that the provision of the left-turn lane that I
talked about going south creates that pocket --
sorry, I 'm getting out of the microphone --
creates that pocket in the middle that allows
vehicles to actually make a two-part left turn.
When you have that in the middle,
you can -- if you have the chance of doing it,
you can do it.
The analysis analyzes the worst case
condition assuming that everybody needs to make
the turn in just one swooping maneuver, so that's
why you're getting that.
Besides the level of service and the
delay, there is also the queues and the V over C .
Queues is how many vehicles are qeued, you know,
actually waiting to make the left.
So the 95th percentile queue is six
vehicles, so it's not going to impact internal
circulation of the site.
Also, the V over C , which is the
volume to capacity ratio, is less than one.
What do I mean by that? You don't want to have
something over one because if it's over one, you

are over capacity. You want to be below that.
So there is more than only one --
one item to look at in the capacity analysis, and
you are correct, it's an F , we just disclosed it,
nobody is hiding that, but there is a reason
behind that.
MR. KASPER: Okay. Thank you. The
study also analyzes the operational traffic at
build-out where the analysis of the -- where is
the analysis of the construction period truck
traffic, so, for example, when you are bringing
in concrete, steel, equipment deliveries, over
the multi-year build, which often are far heavier
than day-to-day operations. And I heard precast
walls earlier, and pretty sure those are wide
loads, so --
MR. MILAN: Typical of traffic studies.
Again, we have the base existing, no build, and
then, like I mentioned, the future traffic
volumes.
When construction is going on, I
know what you're saying, normally I would venture
to say that maybe I disagree that during
construction I think it's less traffic than what

this facility would actually generate during
full -- full-f ledged operations.
The turning movements like I
mentioned are going to be accommodated by the
turning lanes that I mentioned.
In the southbound direction, which
is probably the most difficult, you have a
left-turn movement trying to cross two lanes of
traffic going in.
Even if the left-turn lane is not
built/striped during construction, it is a
striped median, so it can be used to actually
make the left without impacting the
through-traffic volume.
Northbound is a right-turn movement.
Typically -- you guys are doing construction
right now, is that correct, so -- so it's been
under construction right now, and to the best of
my knowledge -- and the City can actually testify
on this -- I don't think it's been problematic,
you know, and, again, it's going to be done in
phases, so it's not all in one sitting.
MR. KASPER: Okay. The study evaluates
the project in isolation just for the year 203 1 .

Where is the cumulative traffic analysis
combining the campuses of Project Cardinal, Steel
and the other data centers that will use the same
Eldamain Road corridor?
MR. MILAN: Okay. Like I mentioned, we
don't analyze in a vacuum, so we asked for growth
factors from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for
Planning. That's the standard and that's the
requirements by the State of Illinois and the
county.
So that is taking into account
things that are going to happen that we might not
be aware of, you know, in terms of traffic, and
then we add the traffic volume, so, again, we are
not analyzing like you said just -- and I said,
we don't analyze in a vacuum. And not just us,
it's just the state and the county will not allow
you to do that.
It would be very easy to say I have
existing or I 'm just adding the data center and
call it a day. That's not right. There's going
to be growth in the area, there's going to be
other developments that we are not aware of, so.

something to think about.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Yes, sir.
MR. KASPER: And then, finally, traffic
counts were taken on a single day, and that was
March 3 rd of 2026, at one intersection back in --
single day at one intersection back on
October 23rd.
Is the single day adequate basis to
approve a project of this scale?
MR. MILAN: Traffic counts by the
guidelines, again, of the state, the Department
of Transportation engineers and so forth, you
want to collect data on a regular day. And let
me explain what I mean by that.
Normally you want to count either on
a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Why not Monday
and Friday? Because many people either take a
day off for a long weekend or are sick. And you
know what I mean by that.
So Monday and Fridays the traffic
tends to be a little bit lower for the most part
or a little bit higher if it's somebody that is
going on vacation, but Tuesdays, Wednesdays and
Thursdays are the typical traffic volumes that

you see.
One day is all that is required.
You need to count the morning period, like I
said, and we did 6 :00 a .m . to 9 :00 a .m . and the
3 :00 p .m . to 6 :00 p .m .
We counted on March 3 rd four
intersections, you know, Veteran's Parkway,
Eldamain Road, Eldamain Road and Faxon, Eldamain
Road with Menards Distribution Center access
drive, and Eldamain Road with Galena.
We also looked at the previous
counts that were done, Eldamain Road and Corneils
Road and the intersection of Beecher and
Corneils.
Those were done -- One was done in
'23, the other was done in '25, and we applied
the real factor that CMAT provided us to actually
bring it up to 2026.
So all of this is following the
industry standards on what the State of Illinois
and the counties require.
MR. KASPER: Okay. And March 3 rd for
the record was --
MR. MILAN: Yes, March 3 rd, correct.

CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Thank you.
MR. KASPER: Thank you for your time.
MS. NOBLE: Do you want me to --
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Yeah, you can go
ahead if you want to. Hold up one second, sir.
MS. NOBLE: Sure. I was just going to
add additional comments from staff's review. As
the petitioner mentioned that they are accepting
the regulations that the City has adopted for
energy industrial uses such as data centers, and
as part of that they are required to submit a
traffic management plan which would provide
information as far as communication strategies,
on-site point of contact during construction, and
pathways that they will be using during
construction, which has to be reviewed by the
City engineer as well as the police department,
so that would be part of their building permit
approval, so we will take into consideration
construction traffic.
Also, the City completed a
comprehensive traffic study for all the data

centers, including Steel, Cardinal and CyrusOne,
and they presented it at a City Council meeting
in March.
That presentation found that there
should not be any detrimental impacts to traffic
in the area, and it's up on our website, and I
can provide that link for anyone who wants that
information.
MR. KASPER: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: You may speak.
JOSE,
having been first duly sworn, testified before
the Planning and Zoning Commission as follows:
JOSE: Good evening. My name is Jose, I
live in Yorkville, literally if you go down, you
are already there.
My question is they said actually
that they have to follow federal guidelines. Is
that FedRAMP compliance as well, this, or
anything like that?
MS. COTTRELL: Is that related to --
JOSE: To the build site, yeah. To the
site, yeah, because if I 'm seeking -- according
to FedRAMP, data centers have to follow FedRAMP

guidelines. I never -- I did not see anything
about FedRAMP on there.
MS. COTTRELL: I 'm not familiar with
that name.
JOSE: Really. Because data centers
have to follow FedRAMP compliance actually. I
know the one in Aurora has to follow it as well,
the one in Franklin Park, too, has to follow
FedRAMP compliance.
FedRAMP, which means actually, God
forbid, anything happens, how -- data centers are
secure. Got forbid anybody breaks into a data
center, it has to be FedRAMP compliance.
MS. COTTRELL: That may be something
that's not related to Cardinal, that's --
JOSE: You can look it up actually.
MR. WHITAKER: So is it a security
protocol, is that what you're --
JOSE: Yeah. You guys said actually
that CyrusOne will have to stay with security,
right, that includes cameras, security guards,
24-hour security guards, fences, right?
That's under FedRAMP compliance, but
I did not see anything about FedRAMP compliance,

that you guys are following FedRAMP compliance.
MR. WHITAKER: Well, you know, we don't
have -- so we've got a whole host of people here
today, we do not have somebody on operations or
security.
We'll be happy to look into that and
we'll provide some follow-up documentation to
City staff on it, but I think that's --
JOSE: Because if it's not FedRAMP
compliance, then it cannot pass the audit.
MR. WHITAKER: We will follow up on the
question.
JOSE: So that's something that you
should keep in mind.
Also, the power, the power grid. I
don't know if you guys know that ComEd is going
to raise the bill 30 percent high. How is that
saving energy with data centers, because you guys
took one -- it's a single floor instead of dual
floor.
According to ComEd, how ComEd
said -- and it's public knowledge, it's going to
raise 30 percent everybody's bill, even the --
what was it P -- P -- what's it called again?

UNIDENTIFIED AUDIENCE MEMBER: PJM.
JOSE: Thank you. So I am wondering how
is that energy -- let me see, how can I rephrase
that question? How is that saving any energy if
ComEd is going to raise our bills?
According to ComEd also, ComEd, when
Elon Musk tried to come here, I forget,
2000-and-someething, ComEd even said we don't
have the power for you guys.
Joliet, data center, all these data
centers are stopping because there isn't enough
power in the grid, and it's a well-known fact.
MR. PRUITT: If you say it's a fact,
then that's --
JOSE: It's on the internet.
MR. PRUITT: Ironic, yeah, I know.
JOSE: So often you say that, again --
MR. PRUITT: Well, you're giving me a
whole salad bowl of things. Let's take them one
at a time.
JOSE: Sure.
MR. PRUITT: I haven't seen any
regulatory authorization for ComEd to raise their
rates. They have to have their rates increase

approved by the Illinois Commerce Commission.
That's how it works.
The ComEd rate, I don't know which
rate you're speaking to, there is the energy
supply rate, which is set largely based on PJM
market functions, there are PJM distribution and
delivery rates, which are based on the multi-year
grid plan, then there are taxes and fees that are
collected from every consumer.
So, you know, I 'm happy to dig in
and find out which of those buckets the
30 percent belongs to, but, again, I haven't seen
an authorization from the Commerce Commission on
that, but I 'd be happy to look.
JOSE: This just happened in 2026
actually, the reason being is because of A I ,
that's why. That's why the power is going up,
because of A I .
The one in Texas, the big megawatt
A I , stopped because there isn't enough power to
power that thing up.
MR. PRUITT: I can --
JOSE: So, again, ComEd has raised the
bill.

MR. PRUITT: That's a -- that's an
assertion and I respect that you have that
opinion, but for this case, for this data center,
PJM and ComEd have both identified that there is,
(A ) sufficient power in the overall wholesale
market to meet this additional demand, as well as
the demand of all other consumers in PJM, and it
could do so reliably.
JOSE: Is there a -- Can anybody receive
that data actually or see that data by any
chance?
MR. PRUITT: These are I believe
documented through your transmission services
agreements between the data center and
Commonwealth Edison.
JOSE: Will this be public knowledge, in
other words?
MR. WHITAKER: I think we're making it
public knowledge here that we've got an
allocation of power through ComEd and PJM, and
there is evidence that we have submitted in
writing stating that as fact.

you guys' profession, but as a person who does a

lot of research and works in the field of data
centers, it's not true. I 'm sorry.
The reason being is because AI is
taking a lot of power, power that we don't have.
There is a document out there written -- I don't
know what's it called, I do apologize, but it
states that these blackouts have been happening
because of A I , all these data centers .
The one in Joliet has stopped, Iowa,
Ohio. Ohio doesn't want any more data centers.
Power. No other resources.
So again, I love technology, don't
get me wrong, I love A I , I love technology, but
there is no power, no resources, I 'm sorry,
unless -- unless -- excuse me, excuse me. Even
Google said the same thing, they just want to
purchase a nuclear power plant.
MR. WHITAKER: So just to be clear --
JOSE: That's power, though.
MR. WHITAKER: Whether somebody wants a
new data center I think is irrelevant for
purposes of discussion today because this is a
data center that is under construction, it was
approved in 2024, we have been in the pipeline,

we have received power allocation, so with all
due respect, what anybody wants on a move-forward
basis is really irrelevant to the application
that's before the Commission.
JOSE: But the future project, like
Project Cardinal basically, where is the power to
come from?
I get what you're saying, it's being
built good, but how you said future projects,
that's what, eight buildings, two generators, 16
generators in total? Power.
MR. WHITAKER: We don't have future
projects here, we have projects that have already
been approved.
JOSE: So where is the power coming
from, the actual power? It's not answering the
question. Where?
MR. PRUITT: Well, the power that is
consumed in northern Illinois is from power
plants, about 1400 power plants, that are
connected to the PJM transmission system.
PJM is responsible for the planning,
of ensuring that there is sufficient supply to
meet maximum demand plus a reserve margin.

The number of power plants and their
generating capabilities are, again, managed by
independent power producers, but they are under
the management of PJM, which operates under a
federal charter from the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission.
It's their job to ensure that there
is sufficient capacity to meet current and
forward capacity requirements.
JOSE: Okay. So God forbid, right, we
get a higher bill in our electricity. Who should
we go to for that? Because it is going to
happen. I 've seen it, people have experienced
it. It's public knowledge. I hope there is a
backup plan for that.
Thank you. Just keep that in mind,
please.
MS. NOBLE: I have a response.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Oh, she has a
response for security. Sorry.

Bristol-Kendall Fire Protection District prior to
issuance of any building permit, and it must
include procedures for fire suppression,
hazardous material spill, evacuation,
communication in case of an incident, the
location of any battery storage systems, training
sessions, drills and walk-throughs with the fire

contacts for emergency services and a plan to

affect the public safety.
They also have to work with KenCom

MS. McCREE: Hi. I am Caroline McCree
and I am a homeowner in Yorkville. I just have a
few questions, mostly having to do with the
construction of the site specifically.
This amendment increases site
coverage from about 28 percent to about
50 percent, nearly doubling the built area. How
does that affect the stormwater run-off and
flooding risk for neighbors, and has the new
basin design been fully engineered and approved?
MR. TROSTLE: The increased areas will
be taken into consideration for the stormwater
detention basins.
If you look at that one site plan,
the basin i n the south has gotten considerably
larger, and each phase will be engineered and
submitted to the City and reviewed by their
engineering consultant.
MS. McCREE: Have you had an engineer
review that yourselves before it goes to the
City?
MR. TROSTLE: Yes.

the Commission grant exceptions if it is giving

MR. WHITAKER: We are not seeking new
deviations.
MS. McCREE: Okay. Thank you. Will
there be other additional public hearings and
opportunities for residents to comment about this
before the construction fully begins?
I know part of it has already

Council and there is an opportunity for public
comment at that meeting as well.

compliance at all receivers when its own data
shows it's over the limit?
MR. IGLESIAS: All right. Good evening.
Mark, right?
MR. MARTIN: Yes.
MR. IGLESIAS: Thank you for your
question. So I believe you are referring to --
Can I borrow your slides, just see what page it's
on? Thank you. What number is that, 45? Could
you go to 45, please?
MS. NOBLE: Oh.
MR. IGLESIAS: Are you referring to
this, to these values? These are the results
that we concluded from our noise study and so, as
I explained earlier to the board, the Yorkville
code requires compliance wherever the Yorkville
jurisdiction -- the City of Yorkville has
jurisdiction, and so we just wanted to
demonstrate exactly where the Yorkville code

compliance is required, and these locations, with
the Yorkville limits, such as R 1 , R 5 , 6 , 7 , 9 and
10, are all residences that lie within the
Yorkville -- that fall under the Yorkville
jurisdiction.
So further from that, all of the
state of Illinois is required to comply with the
Illinois Pollution Control Board's requirements,
which are much more stringent.
As you see in R 3 , the noise level
limit is 6 9 , right? However, there is no
residence there and there is no residence that
falls under the Yorkville requirements.
And the IPCB requirements, if you go
back to -- sorry, way too many slides. 4 2 ,
please. So in the Yorkville -- sorry. In the
IPCB requirements, there are these three
categories, a land class classified as Class C
emitting noise to Class A , and same thing for
classified as B emitting to A , classified as A
emitting to A .
Land that is classified as Class A
are residences and land that is classified as
Class C are I believe industrial or some other

sort -- they're not residences at least, and
there are no requirements for that, and so if, as
you saw on the R 3 , it was at 6 9 dBA during the
daytime, right? There is no requirement to --
emitting noise to that land because there is no
residence there.
So it is important for you and
everyone in the community to understand that the
City of Yorkville as well as the State of
Illinois, when they put these requirements in
place, they are to ensure community
compatibility, right, and so these requirements
ensure that residences, right, any -- any noise
being emitted to Class A , is -- the development
is compatible with the community on behalf of
these maximum noise limits.
MR. MARTIN: Thank you. So the study
treats some of those homes as not entitled to
noise protection because they are outside the
city or on agricultural land.
Why should families living in those
homes hear 60 to 70 decibels, you know,
continuous data center?
MR. IGLESIAS: Yeah, yeah. Of course.

So all of the state of Illinois falls under the
IPCB requirements, and I will give you an
example, that if there is a home in a rural area,
it is treated as a Class A requirement, and we
are compliant at all -- we are projected to be
compliant at all Class A required homes.
That is -- It is incorrect to assume
that just because it's a farmland it is not
treated as a Class A land, as long as there is a
residence in that property.
I believe there could exist land,
farmland, that does not have a residence in
there, but that falls under Class C land.
MR. MARTIN: So the study confirms the
City asked the consultants to evaluate cumulative
noise from the three other planned data centers.
What did that cumulative --
MS. NOBLE: Yeah, I have a hard time.
Cumulative.
MR. MARTIN: -- cumulative, cumulative
analysis show?
MR. IGLESIAS: Right -- sorry. So
actually we were asked by Soundscape, the
City's -- the City of Yorkville's noise

consultant, to provide data on what our noise
projections are because they were going to
conduct the cumulative study, and they were --
they needed to verify our study, and they
recently -- we recently received confirmation
that they approve and they confirm our study and
they will use the study to perform the cumulative
study of any other developments that are either
in place or projected to be in place, so that
was -- that was not part of our scope.
And if you go, oh boy, to table

two, those are the points that the City
requested -- the City's noise consultant
requested us to provide so that they can
provide -- or they can perform an adequate study.
MR. MARTIN: Okay. Good. Thank you.
MR. IGLESIAS: Thank you.

MS. LALIME: Hi, everyone. I am Aimee
Lalime, I am with Soundscape Engineering. I have
about, you know, twenty -- 23 years of experience
with acoustics and vibration, and we are the
City's acoustic consultant.
I just wanted to chime in here that
the developer's consultant is correct that the
applicable limits have been applied at the
appropriate land uses.
So there was a statement about, you
know, a home not having the right limits applied
maybe because it was on agricultural land. The
way that IPCB works is that it's not by land

zoning, it's by land use, so if there is a
residence on a property currently, they treated
it as a residence and applied the residential
criteria.
If you flip back to the slide that
shows -- yes, this one. Actually maybe it's
previous. I wanted to look at the IPCB limits.
Yes, here.
The consultant initially applied
Class C to Class A limits, but according to our
reading of IPCB we think that Class B land is the
correct class for a data center, and so we are --
we are requiring that these limits be met, and
you will see some of the levels appear high, you
know, 63 hertz, 7 1 decibels as a limit,
throughout the whole state of Illinois during the
daytime.
That -- your ears are not good at
hearing the sound at 63 hertz, that's why the
level is high, but the overall dBA limit is 55
daytime, 44 nighttime.
Their study currently shows -- and
this is all tentative because equipment has not
been actually selected, but they have used

representative noise levels that are consistent
with the types of equipment that we see for these
types of facilities, and their analysis has shown
that it is feasible for them to meet the limit
with the planned site layout.

MR. JOAN McARTHUR,
having been first duly sworn, testified before

DR. McARTHUR: Good evening. I am
Dr. Joan MacArthur. I live on Corneils Road and
I am a resident of Plano, not Yorkville, but
these data centers are coming up to us, so I have
a couple questions I would like to ask.
What on the noise? I am a
veterinarian, I have animals, I have a clinic.
What -- Can you tell me the frequency that these
animals get upset at? I bet you can't . Can you
give me some data for that, for the animals?
Because as of now the A V M A doesn't have a paper
on that. That's going to ruin my business, it's
going to ruin all the animals there. I train
racehorses there, they get very, very sensitive

to the vibrations and different noises, as all
the animals around.
Someone said we didn't have any big
wildlife. We've got bald eagles. We've got lots
of wildlife.
And everybody else's dogs? When you
get these data centers in with these different
frequencies, you're going to watch your dogs
going a little nuts, folks, and your cats will be
coming off the roof because nobody has taken the
time because data centers are new, you -- but
people thought smoking was okay, too, and look
what happened, it killed them.
Can't we slow down and get the
studies, find things out and try to be a good
neighbor?
You are all very lovely people, but
you don't have a horse in this race. We do. We
live here. My business is here. And around me
there are three equestrian centers that people
make their living from, and there are two
kennels, plus my veterinary business. Nobody has
ever addressed the noise frequencies.

water? I am on a well. All these data centers
go up, and if you look at what's going on around
the country, you're taking our water.
How am I supposed to run or people
supposed to run businesses with no water? Don't
tell me to go to get city water because you'll
put us all out of business. No.
And why should we have to pay more
money for electric because somebody is putting up
a data center? Sorry, folks, we live here.
This is us. We are a county. And it affects all
of us.
And as I said, I 'm in Plano, I butt
up to Yorkville, but what's it going to do for
me? No, it's going to create more noise, take my
water, shut things up.
And I will tell you someone said on
Corneils Road -- folks, don't even think about
that. I live on Corneils. Corneils, when
Menards went in, was supposed to be -- not have
any traffic, but the GPS sends everybody there.
We have semis going over there, we
have semis ready to break a bridge, we've told

can't do anything.
People are going to do it. That
road won't hold up. And until people -- I just
want to put that in because it's not going there,
folks, and for someone -- I 'm on a 6 0 -acre farm,
I 've been there for 40 years, put heart, work,
sweat in there, and what happens.
I have people coming in going, yeah,
this data center is good. I bet they are, but
slow it down, people, because you don't know what
you're doing to people with -- even with people
that drone.
Have you ever sat there? And I
would propose to all of you, sit right next --
live right next to your data centers for over a
year. Don't go away. See what that does to your
brain because you have the drone, the drone, the
drone, the drone. And don't tell me it's okay.
It's not. You watch an animal that's being
droned, they lose it. People are no different.
The water, going to come and just
take water? Don't tell me they aren't taking it,
they're putting a water tower up by me, and

everybody said the lettuce plant over on
Corneils, it's okay. It's lit up about like the
aurora borealis every night.
So, I mean, folks, I know we have to
all agree on certain things, but we need to agree
on a grassroots, slow this down until we see what
the deleterious effects are. We don't know.
And I would hate for someone in
30 years, go out, have their grandkid come up
to me and go -- come up to you and go grandpa,
why do I have this big bone cancer on me?
Maybe we don't know what sound does.
Sound can be healing and sound can be
detrimental. Who are you going to ask?
But all I 'm saying is we have got to
slow this down because Yorkville is really big on
just jamming stuff down everybody's throat
because they see dollars.
I look at it and I don't see
dollars, I see quality of life, and let's plan
something and see how one data center -- if this
data center is under construction, see how this
goes. See what happens first. Get a plan out.

you, folks, I can come up with statistics, too,
that will make everything look wonderful. I
could make a toxic drug look great if I use the
right statistics. No, not going to do that.
And it's like the grid. I don't
want to pay more for electric because of a data
center. Uh-uh. If data centers -- if they want
to put electric, let them put the money into the
electric. Let them pay for it first.
I don't get anything from Yorkville.
Yorkville -- the City Council goes oh, but you're
going to get all this -- you're going to get all
this money. Not going to help me, it's not going
to help the county, it helps Yorkville, and you
get enough data centers here, nobody is going to
come here, not with the noise and the pollution.
And you say well, we're going to
do -- you'd have to put a 20-foot wall all the
way around your data centers to keep that noise,
plus you're still going to get that frequency.
So, folks, I 'm sorry, you're all

I have a question on who paid for and
commissioned the Gruen & Gruen and Power Bureau
studies?
MR. WHITAKER: The applicant.
MS. POSS: The applicant, okay. So I
just want to make a couple notes about the
Corneils Road, we talk about that a lot, and it's
my understanding through Project Steel Beecher
Road is going to be reconstructed, so is that
what you guys are studying, the reconstructed
part of Beecher Road, or is it the existing
Beecher Road?
MR. WHITAKER: So we are discussing
improvements to Beecher Road with the City and
have been working through what improvements would
be required to Beecher Road and Corneils Road.

MS. POSS: So Beecher Road is set to
have a big roundabout on it by Beecher and
Corneils. Is that a part of your plan or is that
Project Steel's plan?
MS. NOBLE: That would be Project
Steel's plan.
MS. POSS: Okay. Okay. I just wanted
to make sure. Thank you.
And the other question I have that I
was just observing, I don't understand how you
can have decibels during the daytime that are
louder than nighttime.
Is that because there is no
generators going?
MR. WHITAKER: That's precisely correct.
We would not be running generators on any -- we
wouldn't be doing testing or maintenance on
generators during the evening hours, during
nighttime hours, and so the sound load coming
from the facility is entirely different.
MS. POSS: Okay. That was my
assumption, but I 'm pretty bad about assuming.

generators, I have a question, will they do full

load testing and, if so, how many times and for
how long?
MR. WHITAKER: I mean, let me ask a
friend to come up and answer that one.
MS. POSS: Phone a friend.
MS. COTTRELL: Our standard m aintenance
and testing procedure is half hour no load test
each month and then an annual load being tested
at variable loads, from no load to 100 percent
load once a year.
MS. POSS: Okay. So only load testing
once a year?
MS. COTTRELL: Yeah.
MS. POSS: Okay.
MS. COTTRELL: So we gave that 10 to
15 hours per year per generator range. You know,
by planning it's 10 hours per year, but, you
know, just gives a room for a test that might run
longer.
MS. POSS: That's all I have. Thank
you.

microphone? There you go.
THERESA,
having been first duly sworn, testified before
the Planning and Zoning Commission as follows:
THERESA: I am Teresa. I have a
question about if there is a power outage and all
the generators need to be turned on at the data
center, what will that do to the noise and
vibrations in the surrounding area as far as the
City ordinance?
MR. WHITAKER: So it wouldn't be a
vibration issue. There is --
MR. IGLESIAS: Isolation.
MR. WHITAKER: Say it one more time.
MR. IGLESIAS: Isolation.
MR. WHITAKER: There is isolation
devices built into the generators so that would
address the vibration issue.
As it relates to the emergency
operations, we don't test the emergency
operations because that's an exempt activity, but
then I would also say even in the case of an
emergency, it would not be all generators
operating, there is redundancies built into the

system, and so it would be a percentage of the
generators operating.
THERESA: Okay. And that will still
fall under the City ordinance?
MR. WHITAKER: Correct.
THERESA: I will also say that I do find
it distressing, because I was also concerned
about livestock in the area as well as wildlife
and impact to residential areas, and how -- how
is it this got approved if it's going to impact
our neighbors in a different town and ruin their
way of life and affect their horses?
MR. WHITAKER: I mean, if I 'm answering
the question, I think the conclusion was that
there was not a negative impact as it related to
noise when we were here in 2024, and I think our
study -- our sound study substantiates that.
MS. NOBLE: Aimee, did you have anything
else you wanted to add?
MS. LALIME: CyrusOne has not studied
the sound level transmissions in an emergency use
case; we have had that provided for Project Steel
and Project Cardinal.

that's an exempted use case, and we understand it
will be infrequent and it would be when there is
a utility power outage, not an issue with
equipment on the development land itself.
THERESA: What about the impact to
wildlife and livestock, was that included in the
study?
MR. WHITAKER: The study evaluated all
applicable regulations, be it city of Yorkville
and IPCB.
THERESA: Was that yes or no?
MS. LALIME: And those regulations take
into account a balanced perspective of
compatibility between residential and commercial
properties.
Ordinances are not written in such a
way that nothing ever annoys anyone, but the
ordinances for Yorkville and IPCB are consistent
with ordinances throughout the country, so there
are sometimes sounds that bother animals, it
could be a gunshot that might bother an animal,
fireworks.

There are cases where people or
animals are annoyed by others, and ordinances do
not guarantee that no one will ever be annoyed,
but they do allow for compatibility and reduction
in the chance of annoyance.
MR. WHITAKER: If I could add two things
to that. I think you also have to keep in mind
that this property was zoned M -2 before we came
here.
The Comprehensive Plan specifically
looked at this is an industrial corridor, it's an
industrial corridor in Plano, it's an industrial
corridor in Yorkville, so the zoning was in place
for a manufacturing industrial use before we came
in.
We are not -- we are not converting
land that there was a vision for residential
development. There was a vision -- county,
Plano, Yorkville -- that this property, this
area, would be an industrial corridor, so what
we're doing is entirely consistent with the
long-term vision of the county and the two
communities.
And the second item was we are

also -- one of the conversations we are having
with the City is we are adjacent to a railway,
and so one of the things you saw in our sound
study is that there is some loud noises when a
train comes by, so one of the things the City is
asking us to work with them on is to help
establish a quiet zone through that area.
So we haven't worked out those
details, but to the extent that there are sounds
generated from the campus, I think there is other
things that we're doing to try to help improve
the community to offset any impact we might have
as we come in.
So we're doing -- we're doing
everything we can to be a good neighbor and help
address things like sound from existing
transmission sources today.
THERESA: Okay. Thank you. I
understand it's an industrial area, but you are
still going to be impacting residential areas and
farms that have livestock and pets and things
like that, so I mean, I don't know how we're
supposed to like have a veterinary clinic and
horses that were here first and have you come in

CARYN MACEK,

Commission as follows:
MS. MACEK: So I have a couple comments,
just some questions, but mostly comments, about
some of the things that the first gentleman spoke
about.
First of all, we understand that
this is not a new data center. I don't need to
hear you say this is not new, this is already
existing. I just want to clarify that we don't

want that one either. W e are angry about this
and no one is listening to us. I have a lot of
questions.
First of all, who funded all of
these third-party studies? Did CyrusOne fund
them? Did Project Cardinal fund them? Because I
find it really suspicious that everything checked
out perfectly.
I do not -- I am not a trusting
person, I don't take people at their word until I
look things up, so that brings me to my next
point.
99 percent of the things that we as
a city are finding out -- I found out about this
meeting today on a no data center website or a no
data center Facebook page, take your pick. I
shouldn't be fighting for something in my city
based on a Facebook post. It's ridiculous.
Now, these are my big questions.
First of all, to piggyback on to the vet that
spoke, I absolutely 1 ,000 percent want to know
where all these health studies are.
These people have wells. Where does
this waste water go? I can tell you, I live in

Raintree. We have nine ponds. They're not
ponds, they're run-off of dirty rain water.
That's -- in my section of Yorkville
we have city water, don't even get me started on
that because I don't want to drink Lake Michigan
water, it makes me want to vomit, but these
people have wells. Where is this water run-off
going to go? How clean is it? Who is treating
it?
The noise. These places are next to
farms and what do you call those, like -- just
residential houses in the country where there is
no noise, and now you're expecting us to accept
this noise, and that's okay?
I moved here, it's so quiet here.
I don't want to hear the noises that you're
saying I should accept. These are my big points.
The power. I spoke to ComEd myself.
First of all, I want to say the gentleman that
spoke about the power, very well-spoken, I
enjoyed all of the numbers, I like the numbers,
I 'm in medicine, I love numbers.
He answered every question
correctly; however, I will tell you I spoke to

ComEd myself more than once and the exact answer
I got when my bill increased by -- it went from
6 cents to 9 .66 cents and I called them, and the
exact words that I got from two different people
were well, that's because we're building all
these data centers, so please don't tell me that
cost isn't going to be passed on to me because it
already is.
The same goes for the Yorkville
water. You're telling me -- and my husband
touched on it yesterday, I 'm going to say it
again. This City had the nerve to put out this
big, huge save the water, preserve the water,
water's -- don't waste water, in a city that's
accepting the fact that these data centers come
and gobble up hundreds of millions of gallons of
water. Absolutely absurd and unacceptable.
The other thing I have a really big
concern is my property value. I have lived in
this city for 22 years. I want to sell my house
eventually. This was supposed to be our forever
home, and now, with all of this nonsense, I don't
want to stay here. Between the exorbitant taxes,
the crappy school district, and now this, I

don't -- I 'm going to break even with my house.
I don't believe that you took all of
this information from one study, one study in
Virginia, and that's where you are going to base
your information on?
I am pretty certain I know three
people who were looking to move into Yorkville
and I know three realtors who were selling them
their houses, and you know what they said?
They're not coming to Yorkville. Why? Because
of the data centers. They have gone data center
crazy. And they want no part of it and I don't
blame them.
The other question I have is the
elevation. Why would this be a big concern?
Because I 'm going to tell you exactly what that
looked like to me. You can polish a , turd, but
in the end it's still a turd and no one wants it.
No one wants a turd in their backyard. Sorry.
And I have three dogs, so I know all about this.
This is just make it look pretty and there you
go.

going. Why wasn't the school district named on
there? There was nothing for the school
district. There was Bristol-Kendall, there was
Plano, it was up and down so fast I don't know
all the things, but where is the school district?
Because that's my big concern
because they just asked me for $275 million and I
said no because they're supposed to be getting
all this money from the data centers. So why
don't you tell us about that?
I have a lot of problems with the
lack of transparency and you're trying to shove
this down our throat, and I get it, this one is
already approved and being built. And you shrunk
it. I think you should keep shrinking until it
disappears.

MS. NOBLE: Sure. The Chairman asked me
to respond to the public notification.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Thank you.
MS. NOBLE: So the City has an
obligation to publish any public hearing in a
local newspaper at least 15 to 30 days before, so
in the packet of materials we did publish, we
have a certification that it was published in the
newspaper.
We also in real time publish on the
City's website, so if you want any information
about data centers or any project or any meeting,
we publish that on the City's website, so it had
been up on the website since the petitioner
initially submitted, and that was in April, so
all of the information, all the reports as we
receive them, we have published them.
Also, the petitioner has put up
public hearing signs on the property 15 to
30 days before the public hearing, and we also
are required by the state -- or the petitioner is
required by the state to put certified
notifications to individuals that are adjacent to

the property, so the state regulation is 250
feet, the City's requirement is 500 feet, so if
you are within 500 feet of CyrusOne, you would
have received a certified letter from the
petitioner acknowledging that there is a public
hearing tonight.

CHLOE RUSSELL,
having been duly sworn, testified before the
Planning and Zoning Commission as follows:
MS. RUSSELL: Hey, everybody. So, yeah,
Chloe Russell, counsel for Preserve our Yorkville
Community, LLC, Chuck Kasper, Leesa Poss here.
I have a couple questions.
So the study for the -- I believe it
was the Power Bureau study projects, the project
will pay roughly $1 .8 million over 30 years
through ComEd riders, solar heat pumps, et
cetera.
Aren't these just mandatory utility
charges that the project paid as a customer
rather than a voluntary benefit to Yorkville, and
don't these funds go to statewide programs
instead of to this community?
MR. WHITAKER: Yes, I agree with that
entirely. I don't think we were alleging that
they were voluntary payments, but that these are
payments, and the scale of the electrical usage
is unique such that the payments associated with
this project are going to have a very positive
impact not just to the community, but to the

state, the region, the grid is all.
MS. RUSSELL: Right. Okay. Thank you.
I just -- I think it needs to be on record that
this isn't a benefit necessarily towards
Yorkville, but instead a statewide program, and
even like the residents in this area are not
going to be potentially receiving depending where
you are situated. Okay. Well, thank you for
your answer.
My second question is going to be
the study concludes that, you know, if the
project isn't built here, a comparable center is
going to connect to the same lines anyway, so if
what you are asking is for the Commission to
approve this because, you know, objection is
futile and it's going to happen anyway, and is
that, you know, I guess the proper basis for a
local land use decision?
MR. WHITAKER: I 'm not sure the specific
provision of the report you're referencing, but I
guess my response would be that a project is
going to be built here; I think the only question
is are we going to build a larger project with
two-story buildings and one point -- 2 .1 million

square feet or are we going to build a smaller
project with 1 .85 million square feet of
single-story buildings.
MS. RUSSELL: Okay. Thank you. The
actual quote is seek to proceed with
interconnection to the same transmission lines ,
so I am paraphrasing, but it is in your power
study.
My class question would be the power
grid study analyzes a 960-megawatt center, the
developer's own fiscal study describes it as 5 40
megawatts, and earlier public reporting described
it as up to two gigawatts, so which figure is
correct?
MR. WHITAKER: There is a letter that we
submitted that clarifies the electrical capacity
of the facility at full build-out; the
anticipated load is 810 megawatts.
MS. RUSSELL: Okay. So a completely
different megawatt than I even stated. And then,
finally -- I know it's a long night, but thank
you guys for bearing with me -- the Power
Bureau's own Figure 8 shows PJM capacity prices
spiking to about $329 for 2026-2027, which is

roughly ten times two years earlier prices. The
study concedes that capacity is the primary
driver of this increase.
How is the conclusion that a project
is not likely to raise the residents' costs
consistent with this part of your study's
findings?
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Either/or.
MR. PRUITT: Okay. Good. The -- You
are correct in that we did identify the capacity
as the primary driver of the recent cost
increases.
What we're trying to express in the
study is that when we're talking about prices we
have to look at both sides of the equation; there
is the supply side and the demand side.
Obviously new data centers, new auto
manufacturers, battery factories and the like,
they all represent new demand on the grid, and in
the absence of any new supply, yes, that would
cause increases in prices.
However, as was also listed in the
study, there are multiple traunches of activity
within PJM itself or the state of Illinois to

increase the amount of capacity that connects to
the PJM grid, so what we were trying to express
in this study is that yes, in the immediate term
increased demand has increased prices; however,
as prices have increased, that's attracted more
interest from developers to connect more power
generation to the PJM grid.
As those new assets are connected to
the grid, the supply and demand balance will come
back to a level and prices will respond
accordingly.
MR. WHITAKER: I would -- I would add to
that and simply say it's not -- everybody wants
to talk about the demand, but there is also -- in
addition to the supply side equation that Mark
was talking about, we have to acknowledge that
there is state policy that has resulted in
pulling power off of the grid.
I personally represent a client who
owns power plants across the state and most of
those power plants have been shut down as a
result of state policy, so while we're
backfilling plants with solar power, the solar
power that's being backfilled at plants might go

from 1650 megawatts to 40 megawatts.
So I think any suggestion that the
impact to power prices is solely based on A I or
data centers is naive at best.

your clarification. I 'm going to disagree with

have worked on three or four other data centers
outside of Yorkville. I don't know their names
for you right now, I 'm sorry.
ANONYMOUS: Is there a way that we can
get that information? I mean, it would just be
helpful for us to understand, you know, like
maybe we can go back and look and see how those
developments have rendered, you know,
obviously --
MS. LALIME: You can -- I mean, I can
share it with Krysti and then she can share if
she -- Well, actually I have to ask my company if
that's information that we can share, but you can
go to the Soundscape engineering website and view
all of our qualifications.
For Yorkville, we are not doing any
of the studies ourselves, we are peer reviewers
for studies that are being done by other
consultants.
ANONYMOUS: Okay. Great. Thank you for
that information. Appreciate it.

acceptable to animals?
Obviously we know that there is
certain -- as you stated, that there are certain
acceptable frequencies, but -- from the state and
from the City of Yorkville, but I 'm just curious
to know if we know what the sound frequency is
since animals do hear at1 .
A much higher frequency from what I
understand than -- for many animals than humans
do.
MS. LALIME: I 'm sorry, I was muted.
Animals tend to have a wider frequency range of
hearing, I believe dogs somewhere up near 40 or
50,000 hertz, horses also can hear higher
frequencies.
Noise ordinances throughout the
country are guided by the EPA and their noise
ordinances are geared toward human hearing
primarily.
They do include different land uses
for animals like stables in their recommendations
and those thresholds that they recommend are at a
higher sound level than they recommend for
residences, so the regulations that apply here do

sound for humans.
ANONYMOUS: Okay. Just -- just curious.
Thank you. I heard -- In all of the talks
tonight I heard that the testing is per
generator. I don't -- I mean, off the top of my
head don't know and don't have the resources
available to look this up, but how many
generators are we talking in total that we would
be potentially running and/or testing?
I do know that or understand that it
would not necessarily be every one all at the
exact same time.
MS. LALIME: I don't know if that
question was directed towards me or the project
team, but I see in the sound study they listed
there are 5 7 backup generators for each building.
ANONYMOUS: For each building. Wow.
Thank you. Thank you for that information. So
there is 57 different backup generators for each
building and I , again, don't have numbers in
front of me at the moment, I 'm still at work, but
we're talking I think it was 18 buildings at one
time, and, again, I missed bits and pieces of the

evening, so that's quite a few generators.
Was curious to know then -- and
again, I apologize, I 'm still working so I don't
have this information in front of me -- how close
is the nearest school?
Because when these generators are
going to be tested during the day, I 'm curious to
know what the impact to the nearest local schools
might be.
MS. NOBLE: So the nearest school is
Bristol Bay and that's probably well over a
thousand -- do you have estimates? It's well
over a thousand feet.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Oh, not -- not --
MS. NOBLE: More than that.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: No, it's miles.

CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Okay. Go ahead.
ANONYMOUS: How many individuals within
the data center development that have presented
this evening, just curious to know, how many of
them are living in or near a data center and/or
data center corridor such as what's being
developed in Yorkville?
I don't want to know where you live
exactly, I 'm just curious to know how many of you
all live near the data centers or data center
corridors.
MR. WHITAKER: Personally I live about a
mile, mile and a half from a data center that I
was proposing in Naperville. It didn't
ultimately get approved, but I was in many of the
houses within a mile, about a mile, of a data
center that I was advocating for and presenting
to the City of Naperville.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Ma'am, I myself am
about maybe a half a mile from a proposed one,
just to answer your question.

appreciate -- Somebody else? I 'm sorry. No?
Okay.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Okay.
ANONYMOUS: Go ahead.
MS. NOBLE: Sorry. I have a response in
regards to the nearest school. So the nearest
Yorkville school, as we mentioned, is Bristol
Bay, that's about three miles away, and the
nearest Plano school is about one and a half
miles away.
ANONYMOUS: Oh, great. So -- and is
Plano aware of the fact that their nearest school
is one and a half miles away from a data center
corridor that has or will have 57 backup
generators for each building, and we're talking,
again, I gave an approximate 15 buildings, I know
that that's probably wrong, there may be a bit
more or a bit less depending how many data center
developments do finally move forward. That's
interesting to know.

independent studies that Yorkville has conducted
by an independent third-party?
MS. NOBLE: They are on the City's
website if you go to yorkville.il.us, go to
departments, community development, and on the
left side you will see a scroll down.
Go to public hearings and current
projects, and for each project that we present we

materials, all the reports, all the studies, and
links to staff reports.

MS. NOBLE: Correct.
ANONYMOUS: -- because they don't --
they are not doing the studies.
MS. NOBLE: Correct. Yes.
ANONYMOUS: Okay. And then the last
statement was it was just a -- something I
thought of when somebody mentioned that the land
was zoned for industrial use, right?
When we're talking industrial use, I
recognize that there is still noise ordinances
that need to be met and whatnot, but when we're
talking about industrial use, I work for a
manufacturing company and the noise level and the
volume of impact to local animals and wildlife is
not nearly the noise impact of 57 potential
generators for one building or multiply that by
at least -- again, I 'll refer back to 18 just
because it sounds like a pretty accurate number,
so while I understand that it was already zoned
for that, we're talking something totally
different than a -- than just an industrial park.
That's all I have. Thank you all.
Appreciate your time.

MR. MACEK: Hello, this is Mr. Macek.
Miss Macek went to bed because she has to work
early in the morning, but I am still here
watching and listening to this fiasco, so if you

having been first duly sworn, testified before
the Planning and Zoning Commission as follows:
COMMISSIONER WERDERICH: Thank you. I
would like you to -- water consumption, what does
that look like?
MR. HOUT: It's approximately 1200
gallons per day per building, so that's for
domestic water usage, so that's primarily the
load as the folks that are occupying an office
space, so that's largely washing hands, flushing
toilets, drinking water.
The water usage for our closed loop
system, the initial fill is upwards of 200,
2 50,000 gallons per day for the initial fill, but
once it's filled that daily load is roughly 1200
gallons per day on average per building.
COMMISSIONER WERDERICH: I wasn't here,
I apologize, when the initial project proposal
went through. Can you explain what happens with
that water when it's filled? It's used to cool I
understand.
MR. HOUT: That's correct. Yeah, it's
used --

happens to it?
MR. HOUT: It stays in the system for
the life of the building. So there is this
misconception that it needs to be drained or sent
out to the sewer system regularly and that's not
the case.
You can imagine these numbers are in
a critical facility, so once they're turned on
they're meant to run 24/7 for the next 20, 30,
40, 50 years, so the idea of us having to shut
down is kind of unheard of, right? That's not
the purpose of these buildings. We are tasked
with having to run these buildings constantly.
So if you ever have a n issue with
the closed loop system, we have the ability to
valve off sections of the system to make repairs
as needed, so if we have an issue in this room,
for example, we could valve off this side and
that side, hold the water that's in that portion
of the system, make the repair, and then recharge
the system and get back up to operations.
So rarely is -- actually, the water
should never be fully drained out of the system
until the end of the life cycle of the asset.

COMMISSIONER WERDERICH: So some of it's
consumed though, right?
MR. HOUT: That's correct, yeah.
COMMISSIONER WERDERICH: What happens
with the consumed water?
MR. HOUT: It's just --
COMMISSIONER WERDERICH: Is it steam or
is it like run-off or just --
MR. HOUT: Just evaporation, like small
tiny amount of evaporation. I think the makeup
water on a monthly basis is 50 to 100 gallons,
and that's included in the daily occupant load
that I referenced, the 1200 gallons a d ay, so
it's a very, very small amount of water that's
leaving the system.
Unlike water systems that are
outside, exposed to the sun or elements, there is
no -- there is no evaporation that you would see
from, you know, an outside storage tank, so there
is not much affecting this water that's in this
closed loop system.
COMMISSIONER WERDERICH: Okay. Okay.
And I guess, I 'm sorry, you will need more water
every day, right?

talking about servers, we know that they can't
corrode because that would like stop them from
functioning. I don't know if he can speak on
that.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Are there
anti-corrosives in this water is the question
she's asking.
MR. HOUT: In our closed loop system
there is corrosion inhibitor and microbiocides,
so corrosion inhibitor prevents the rusting of
the pipes, the inside of the pipes, that's still
within the closed loop system, and the
microbiocides are to close off any sort of
microorganisms that are growing inside of that
closed loop system.
ChemT reat is one example of a local
company that does this kind of testing, and the
application of chemicals for us is a third-party,
highly qualified, regulated company that's doing
this kind of work.
After they treat the system the
system remains 99.9 percent water, so it's a very
small amount of chemicals that are needed to
treat the system.

On the microbiocide side of things,
the bleach or the chlorine, the example I use if
any of you have a swimming pool, you know the
amount of chlorine you put in that pool to kill
off the microorganisms because of the leaves, the
bird poop, the insects, the sunlight that that is
getting.
The closed loop system does not get
any of those and so the amount of growth of
contaminants in that system is far less and far
lower, which means we are putting in a very small
amount of chemical, less chemical than you would
see, you know, in something that's exposed to the
elements.
CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Thank you. Awesome.

questions? Anybody down there? Nothing?

PETITION FOR MAJOR AMENDMENT TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
THE UNDERSIGNED Petitioner, C1 Yorkville LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (hereinafter the “Petitioner”), respectfully petitions the United City of Yorkville (the
“City”) for a major amendment to a special use for a planned unit development as detailed on the
plans submitted herewith for the Property (as defined below).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
1. The Petitioner, C1 Yorkville LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, having an
office located at 2820 N. Harwood Street, Suite 2200, Dallas, TX 75201, is the owner of the
Property comprising of +/- 228 acres located at the northeast corner of Eldamain Road and Faxon
Road in the City of Yorkville, which property is legally described on Exhibit A, attached hereto
and made a part hereof (the “Property”).
2. The Property was originally annexed to the City pursuant to Ordinance No. 2005-
48 on May 24, 2005;
3. The Property is zoned M-2 General Manufacturing District under the United City
of Yorkville Unified Development Ordinance (the “Code”);
4. On July 9, 2024, the City approved a special use for a planned unit development
and a Planned Unit Development Agreement (the “PUD Agreement”) for the Property;
5. Pursuant to the PUD Agreement, the City approved development of the Property as
an Energy Industrial Use as generally depicted on the Preliminary PUD Plan (the “Preliminary
PUD Plan”) attached hereto as Exhibit B.
2
6. The Preliminary PUD Plan specifically approved development of the Property with
nine (9) two-story data center buildings comprising 2,451,200 square feet of total building area.
7. On February 10, 2026, the City approved a Minor Amendment to the approved
Planned Unit Development and the amended PUD Plan (the “Amended PUD Plan”) a copy of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit C.
8. Shortly after the City’s approval of the Amended PUD Plan, Petitioner pulled
necessary and appropriate site development permits and commenced construction pursuant to the
Amended PUD Plan.
9. Petitioner now seeks a Major Change to the Amended PUD Plan as reflected on
Exhibit D (the “CHI 11 PUD Plan”).
10. With the Major Change, Petitioner proposes to: i) replace the eight (8) two-story
buildings approved pursuant to the Amended PUD Plan with eight (8) single-story buildings; and
ii) reduce the total permitted square footage of buildings, all as reflected on the CHI 11 PUD Plan.
11. Petitioner has submitted the appropriate supporting details for approval of the
Major Change to the Planned Unit Development as set forth herein.
PROJECT SUMMARY
Petitioner is a wholly owned subsidiary of CyrusOne. CyrusOne is a leading global
data center developer and operator specializing in the delivery of state-of-the-art digital
infrastructure solutions that serve some of the world’s foremost technology companies. CyrusOne
owns and operates over 60 data centers across nine countries. In Illinois, CyrusOne owns and
operates data center campuses in Aurora and Lombard. CyrusOne is also in the process of
developing new Illinois campuses in Aurora, Wood Dale, Yorkville, and Sangamon County.
3
As reflected in the Jones Lange LaSalle (“JLL”) North America Data Center Report for
year-end 2025, surging investment in the data center industry reflects strong institutional
confidence in the sector’s outlook. JLL found vacancy rates at existing data centers are at a historic
low of 1% for a second consecutive year, despite unprecedented levels of construction. Vacancy
at historic lows reflects sustained structural demand rather than cyclical imbalance. JLL goes on
to state that bubble concerns are difficult to reconcile with 99% sector occupancy, particularly
given that the largest data center tenants rank among the most profitable and highest-rated
companies globally. As it relates to new construction, JLL found that 92% of capacity is
precommitted, either through binding lease agreements or owner-occupied development. Taken
together, these dynamics point to vacancy remaining in the low single digits through 2030. In the
Chicago market, JLL notes that there are no 10+ MW contiguous blocks available, which is driving
tenants to commit to capacity 18-24 months in advance. With these fundamentals, Petitioner is
well positioned to seize upon immediate demand with the expectation that the first building will
be delivered to market in Q1 2028.
Construction on the Property commenced earlier this spring with site grading associated
with access to the Property and the electrical substation. CyrusOne has obtained allocation of
electrical capacity necessary for the project, is scheduled to take delivery of the first electrical
transformers for the Yorkville campus later this fall, and expects to have the site energized before
the end of 2027. CyrusOne plans to commence building construction this fall with the goal of
establishing occupancy for that first building by the end of the first quarter of 2028. CyrusOne is
well positioned to seize upon market demand to facilitate build-out of the Property.
The overall layout of the CHI 11 PUD Plan is generally consistent with the Amended PUD
Plan. The CHI 11 PUD Plan either maintains or increases the setbacks that were established with
4
the Preliminary PUD Plan and affirmed with the Amended PUD Plan. Primary ingress/egress will
occur via a boulevard style connection to Eldamain Road, consistent with the Amended PUD Plan.
With the CHI 11 PUD Plan, the secondary means of ingress/egress to Faxon Road has been
eliminated in favor of a larger consolidated stormwater basin along the south property line. This
reconfigured stormwater basin will create a natural transition south to Faxon Road. A secondary
roadway connection is now contemplated via Beecher Road to the east. This secondary roadway
connection will be gated, no truck traffic will be permitted, and is intended exclusively for
employee egress. Notably, Petitioner owns the adjacent property along Beecher Road which
Petitioner acquired for purposes of facilitating utility improvements required for development of
the Property. Finally, Petitioner is working with Kendall County Department of Transportation
regarding a restricted emergency-only right-in-right-out movement in the northernmost section of
the Property along Eldamain Road.
Revised building elevations have been submitted along with the Major Change application.
The revised elevations are generally consistent with the approved plans, maintaining similar
architectural styling, building materials, and color palette. With the revised elevations, the main
entrance or primary architectural component of the buildings is a two-story office component,
comprising approximately 32,000 square feet, which is consistent with the original approvals for
the project. This two-story feature, which is approximately 36’ in height, will help define the
entrance to the buildings and create a clear focal point. The buildings are generally oriented such
that the office component addresses the adjacent road frontage or entrance to the community. The
primary mass of the building is the single-story box which measures approximately 24’ in height.
This primary single-story component of the building also includes a mechanical penthouse. The
mechanical penthouse incorporates an acoustic screen wall around all four sides of the mechanical
5
penthouse. This rooftop screening, which is recessed from the primary façade of the building,
extends to approximately 51’ in height. The revised elevations reflect a significant reduction in the
height approved with the PUD Agreement, which permits 55’ tall buildings with equipment
screening to 70’. The side of each building also includes a mechanical yard, as depicted on the
CHI 11 PUD Plan. The mechanical yard is designed as an integral component of each building.
Full height screening is provided for each mechanical yard.
STANDARDS FOR SPECIAL USE APPROVAL FOR A PLANNED UNIT
DEVELOPMENT PURSUANT TO UDO SECTION 10-8-5. D.
1. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the Special Use will not be unreasonably
detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare.
The proposed development of the Property will promote the public health, safety, morals,
comfort and general welfare of the City. The Property was originally annexed and zoned in the
City in 2005. Despite the underlying zoning, the Property set fallow, without productive use
consistent with the underlying zoning district for nearly 20 years. The data center campus, which
was preliminarily approved in 2024, is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and the
underlying M-2 General Manufacturing zoning for the Property. With the City’s 2024 approval
of the Preliminary PUD Plan, the City determined that the Preliminary PUD Plan would not be
unreasonably detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general
welfare. With the proposed major change, the CHI 11 PUD Plan depicts a total building area of
1,854,805 square feet, which is 308,995 square feet less than the Amended PUD Plan and 596,395
square feet less than the Preliminary PUD Plan. Changes to the layout of the buildings and the
square footage of the buildings does not alter the character or intent of the approved planned unit
development. Moreover, with the changes reflected on the CHI 11 PUD Plan, Petitioner seeks
approval of single-story buildings in lieu of the two-story buildings approved with the Preliminary
6
PUD Plan. Because the proposed major change is consistent with the character and intent of the
Preliminary PUD Plan, reduces the size of approved buildings, and increases the setback to
existing residential uses, the major change will not be unreasonably detrimental to or endanger the
public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare.
The development of the Property will facilitate substantial investment in the City that will
produce new construction jobs, long-term employment opportunities, and significant new tax
revenue streams. In support of this premise, Petitioner hired Gruen Gruen + Associates to prepare
reports evaluating both the economic (the “Economic Impact Report) and the fiscal (“the “Fiscal
Impact Report”) impacts of the proposed development. The Fiscal Impact Report estimates that
development of the Property will result in an average of 277 construction jobs annually for a period
of ten years. In addition to the construction jobs, the development is estimated to support 1,881
permanent jobs in Kendall County, with annual labor income estimated at $187.4 million or
approximately $99,700 per job. The operations of the campus are estimated to generate total annual
economic output within Kendall County of approximately $1,053.2 billion dollars. The campus
will also generate significant new tax streams, including projected annual tax revenue of
$16,794,087 to the City at full buildout. Based on the construction schedule outlined above,
Petitioner anticipates that the City would begin collecting significant new revenue in 2028. By
2029, tax receipts to the City will likely eclipse $2,000,000 and steadily grow for the next decade.
The campus will establish the City as a regional leader in data center capacity, position the
community as an employment base within a growing sector of the economy, and produce
transformational new tax revenue streams.
2. The Special Use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the
immediate vicinity for the purpose already permitted, nor substantially diminish and
impair property values within or near the neighborhood in which it is to be located.
7
With the approval of the Preliminary PUD Plan in 2024 the City found that the special use
will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the
purpose already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within or near
the neighborhood. With the proposed major change, which reduces the size and scale of the
development occurring on the Property, the proposed major change will only mitigate any
perceived concerns raised during the 2024 approval process.
Immediately north of the Property is a very large, regional ComEd substation that is located
in unincorporated Kendall County. This substation supplies power for the region and is a
significant component of the utility infrastructure necessary to serve the data center campus. In
fact, the data center campus is strategically and intentionally located immediately adjacent to the
ComEd substation that will provide critical power supply to the data center campus. Eldamain
Road defines the western boundary of the Property, with areas west of Eldamain Road being
located in the Village of Plano and zoned M-2 General Manufacturing District. Uses within the
adjacent Plano M-2 District include the Menards Distribution Center, Grundy Redi Mix, and a
Groot transfer station. While there are some residential uses to the southwest, those homes are
beyond applicable setback requirements under City of Yorkville zoning requirements. Faxon Road
and the BNSF rail line collectively establish the southern boundary of the Property. Parcels south
of Faxon Road are zoned A-1 in Kendall County. While there are two residential structures south
of Faxon Road, those structures are beyond applicable setback requirements under the City of
Yorkville zoning requirements. Beecher Road establishes the eastern boundary of the Property.
East of Beecher Road is a new solar farm that was recently developed in the City of Yorkville.
The area north of the solar farm is a separate parcel owned by Petitioner and which will
immediately be utilized for purpose of extending electrical service to the Property.
8
3. The establishment of the Special Use will not impede the normal and orderly development
and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district.
With the approval of the Preliminary PUD Plan in 2024, The City found that the special
use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property
for uses permitted in the district. Here, Petitioner does not seek a new special use, but seeks a
major change to the special use that was approved for the Property in 2024. With the proposed
Major Change, Petitioner does not fundamentally alter the concept or the use approved by the City
in 2024, but seeks to adjust the scale of the project, moving from taller two-story structures to
single-story buildings that are more consistent with the scale of development in the region.
4. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage or other necessary facilities have been or shall
be provided.
The Property is generally well-positioned in terms of access and utilities.
Since the City’s 2024 approval of the Preliminary PUD Plan, Petitioner has actively
coordinated with the City to facilitate necessary and appropriate utility improvements that are
proximate to the Property. Specifically, the Petitioner has funded the extension of municipal
sanitary and water services that will serve not only the Property, but also future development in
the area. With the extension of public utility services the property is adequately served by public
utilities. Moreover, the extension of utilities that was facilitated by Petitioner, who bore significant
up-front cost for said utility extensions, materially improves the City’s utility infrastructure and
facilities additional development in the area around the Property.
While the Petitioner has coordinated with the City on water and sanitary service, Petitioner
has coordinated with ComEd regarding electrical service. Petitioner and ComEd have coordinated
plans for the extension of electrical service from the adjacent ComEd substation to the Property.
Additionally, Petitioner is undertaking construction of a new on-site electrical substation that will
serve the Property.
9
Petitioner engaged the services of a professional traffic engineer to review ingress/egress
conditions and the capacity of the surrounding roadway network to accommodate site generated
traffic associated with the proposed data center development. The Traffic Impact Study prepared
by KLOA, Inc., has been submitted with Petitioner’s application documents. The Traffic Impact
Study shows that there is sufficient reserve capacity in the surrounding roadways to accommodate
the proposed development.
Petitioner also engaged the services of Pinnacle Engineering Group to provide civil
engineering services associated with the proposed development of the Property. Pinnacle’s
Preliminary Engineering Plans depict the anticipated improvements to the Property, including
stormwater management facilities necessary to facilitate the development of the data center.
5. Adequate measures shall be taken to provide ingress or egress so designed as to minimize
traffic congestion in the public streets.
The primary means of ingress/egress to the Property is via Eldamain Road. At Eldamain
Road, access will be restricted via a series of manned security gates. Ingress/egress is designed
with a boulevard style section that will allow rejected vehicles to be directed back to Eldamain
Road. Inside the gate, all drive aisles are privately owned and operated. Petitioner has relocated
the secondary point of ingress/egress from Faxon Road to Beecher Road and added an emergency
access point along Eldamain Road. With these changes, a larger contiguous stormwater facility is
now located south of the data center buildings and will provide natural separation to the nearest
residential dwellings. The Traffic Impact Study supports the proposed access points and confirms
that the existing roads have sufficient reserve capacity to accommodate anticipated site traffic.
6. The proposed Special Use is not contrary to the objectives of the City’s adopted
Comprehensive Plan.
10
The City adopted its most current Comprehensive Plan in 2016. According to the
Comprehensive Plan, to accomplish the future development of the City’s industrial areas, the
community planning objectives include: (i) removing barriers to industrial area investment and
facilitating development through the use of incentives and regulatory relief; (ii) concentrating
industrial attraction efforts in near-term industrial areas, such as the Yorkville Business Center and
the Fox Industrial Park; (iii) facilitating redevelopment of industrial areas to accommodate
industrial uses of different sizes and to achieve more modern office park settings; and (iv)
encouraging best practices in industrial building/park design, stormwater management, landscape
buffering and placemaking. The Comprehensive Plan identifies five (5) industrial areas with
developable land, which include the Property. The proposed Major Change will advance the
objectives of the Comprehensive Plan in facilitating industrial development through regulatory
relief.
REVIEW STANDARDS FOR APPROVAL OF PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
PURSUANT TO UDO SECTION 10-8-8. E.
1.Plan and Policy Alignment. The Planned Unit Development is consistent with the goals,
objectives, and policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan and other adopted plans and
policy documents of the City.
The City approved the Preliminary PUD Plan in 2024, finding that it was consistent with
the City’s plans and policies. The proposed major change is consistent with the intent and
character of the Preliminary PUD Plan. The proposed major change, which reduces the size and
scale of development on the Property, is likewise consistent with the City’s plans and policies.
The Comprehensive Plan specifically references the development of the Lincoln Prairie
Industrial Properties (which include the Property) in its vision strategy, stating that “..future
Industrial development should occur as a planned industrial subdivision, similar to the Yorkville
Business Center…”. By granting Petitioner’s request for a planned unit development in 2024, and
11
with approval of Petitioner’s proposed major change, the City will facilitate this goal in the near
term, much in advance of the long-term strategy outlined in its Comprehensive Plan. By approving
development of the Property as a planned unit development, the City ensured the coordinated and
thoughtful planning of a large-scale industrial property and established a framework for the type
of phased investment that is generally required for a development of this size and scale. The
approval of the proposed major change is consistent with this regulatory framework and preserves
the character and intent of the development originally approved in 2024.
2.Integrated Design with Identifiable Centers and Edges. The Planned Unit Development
shall be laid out and developed as a unit in accordance with an integrated overall design,
in which the various land uses function as a cohesive whole and support one another. The
design shall provide identifiable centers, which form focus areas of activity in the
development, and edges, which define the outer borders of the development, through the
harmonious grouping of buildings, uses, facilities, public gathering spaces, and open
space.
In 2024 the City found that the Preliminary PUD Plan reflected unified development in
accordance with an integrated overall design. The two (2) land uses function as a cohesive whole
and support one another; one for the electric substation and the other for data center building uses.
As reflected on the Amended PUD Plan, access improvements, certain phase 1 detention
improvements, and the new electric substation are currently under development by Petitioner.
With the proposed major change, Petitioner proposes to reconfigure the buildings and the
stormwater detention around those improvements already under construction. With this
reconfiguration, Petitioner substitutes predominantly single-story buildings for the previously
approved two-story buildings. With this change from two-story to single-story buildings,
Petitioner has expanded the area of the Property being developed, including that area originally
designated for “future development” north of the main entrance on Eldamain Road. However,
Petitioner has also reduced the total square footage of building area to be constructed on the
Property.
12
Consistent with the approved Preliminary PUD Plan, the data center campus will be
developed as a gated and secure facility whereby public access will be strictly limited. The CHI
11 PUD Plan maintains the emphasis on perimeter treatments, which is how most residents will
interact with the data center campus. Petitioner has maintained perimeter setbacks that were
established with the Preliminary PUD Plan and affirmed with the Amended PUD Plan. A black
aluminum security fence, as specified on the landscape plan, will enclose the perimeter of the
Property. The fence is strategically located inside of the northernmost and southernmost detention
basins. The fence is also located inside of the scheduled landscape buffer that extends along public
facing sides of the Property. With the substantial perimeter landscape buffer and the setbacks
incorporated into the West Complex PUD Plan, the much shorter single-story data center buildings
now proposed by Petitioner will not be a dominant feature of the broader landscape.
3.Public Welfare. The Planned Unit Development is designed, located, and proposed to be
operated and maintained so that it will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property and will not substantially increase the danger of fire or otherwise
endanger the public health, safety, and welfare.
The proposed CHI 11 PUD Plan will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property and will not substantially increase the danger of fire or otherwise endanger the
public health, safety, and welfare. Petitioner strategically oriented data center improvements
toward the core of the Property. Petitioner has emphasized open space around the perimeter of the
Property, preserving setbacks approved with the Preliminary PUD Plan, and significantly
expanding the size and scale of the southern detention basin located along Faxon Road. Planned
perimeter setbacks are significantly greater than what is required under the zoning ordinance and
upgraded perimeter landscape treatments will combine to create a substantial buffer to adjacent
property.
13
4.Compatibility with Adjacent Land Uses. The Planned Unit Development includes uses
which are generally compatible and consistent with the uses of adjacent parcels. If the uses
are not generally compatible, all adverse impacts have been mitigated through screening,
landscaping, public open space, and other buffering features that protect uses within the
development and surrounding properties.
With the approval of the Preliminary PUD Plan in 2024, the City confirmed Petitioner’s
position that the plan for development of a data center campus is generally compatible with and
consistent with the uses of adjacent parcels. With the major change, Petitioner is not changing the
purpose or intent of the approved Preliminary PUD Plan. To the contrary, Petitioner is making
changes which should benefit adjacent properties due to the reduction in size and scale of the
development contemplated for the Property. Consistent with the approved Preliminary PUD Plan,
the CHI 11 PUD Plan incorporates landscape buffers and building setbacks that exceed City Code
requirements.
5.Impact on Public Facilities and Resources. The Planned Unit Development is designed
so that adequate utilities, road access, stormwater management, and other necessary
facilities will be provided to serve it. The Planned Unit Development shall include such
impact fees as may be reasonably determined by the City Council. These required impact
fees shall be calculated in reasonable proportion to the impact of the Planned Unit
Development on public facilities and infrastructure.
The City specifically considered impact on public facilities and resources with the 2024
approval of the Preliminary PUD Plan. At that time, Petitioner and the City entered into certain
agreements to facilitate necessary and appropriate utility and roadway improvements to serve the
planned unit development. With the proposed major change, there is no relevant change in impacts
to public facilities or resources. Nevertheless, Petitioner has updated plans and studies, which
have been submitted in support of the proposed Major Change, to reflect the impact of the planned
unit development. As reflected in Petitioner’s plans and studies, the development reflected on the
CHI 11 PUD Plan will not pose a significant burden on public facilities and infrastructure, but will
14
improve public facilities and infrastructure in a manner that will likely facilitate additional
investment on nearby properties.
Notably, with the proposed major change, Petitioner has submitted a study by The Power
Bureau, LLC, which evaluates potential electric system reliability and cost impacts associated with
the proposed development of the Property (the “Power Bureau Study”). As detailed in the Power
Bureau Study, the development of the Property will not reduce the reliability of the regional grid
or the local utility network. Additionally, the data center campus is unlikely to cause cost increases
for ComEd’s current customers.
6.Archaeological, Historical or Cultural Impact. The Planned Unit Development does not
substantially adversely impact an archaeological, historical, or cultural resource, included
on the local, state, or federal register, located on or off the parcel(s) proposed for
development.
The proposed development of the Property does not substantially adversely impact an
archaeological, historical, or cultural resource, included on the local, state, or federal register,
located on or off the parcel(s) proposed for development. Petitioner has/will undertake necessary
and appropriate studies to evaluate wetlands/waters, threatened/endangered species, and historical
resources. Petitioner will coordinate necessary approvals with the City as a condition to the
construction of improvements to the Property.
REQUIRED DEVIATIONS FROM UNIFORM DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE
With the approval of the Preliminary PUD Plan and the PUD Agreement in 2024, the City
approved certain deviations from Code. With the proposed major change, Petitioner is not seeking
additional deviations, but seeks to carry forward the deviations approved in 2024.
WHEREFORE, by reason of the foregoing, the undersigned Petitioner requests the City’s
Plan Council, Economic Development Committee, Planning and Zoning Commission and City
Council take the necessary and appropriate action to grant a major amendment to a special use for
15
a planned unit development with development allowances as detailed on the plans submitted
herewith for the Property and pursuant to the appropriate provisions of the City’s Code.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED this 28th day of May, 2026.

Conclusion
•Access to the proposed development will be provided via one full-movement access drive aligned opposite the
existing Menards access drive on the east side of Eldamain Road,and via an egress only access drive located off
Beecher Road.
o The access drive on the east side of Eldamain Road will provide one inbound lane and two outbound lanes
striped as an exclusive left-turn lane and a shared through/right-turn lane.
o The access drive on the west side of Beecher Road will provide one outbound lane.
o Outbound movements at both access drives will operate under stop sign control.
o A southbound left turn lane serving this access drive should be provided via restriping of the existing median.
o A northbound right-turn lane should be provided.This turn lane should provide a minimum taper length of 180
feet and a minimum storage length of 150 feet.
•A proposed emergency exit will be provided via a right-in/right-out (RIRO)access drive located on the east side
of Eldamain Road approximately 1,170 feet north of the main proposed access drive.
•The existing roadway system has sufficient reserve capacity to accommodate the traffic estimated to be
generated by the proposed development.
•The proposed development will not have a significant impact on traffic operations along Eldamain Road.

FINDINGS
RELIABILITY
ComEd and PJM are responsible for maintaining local and
regional service reliability to all customers.
Engineering reviews by ComEd and PJM conclude that
the development will not adversely impact the reliability of
the local service network or the broader regional grid after
necessary system upgrades have been completed.
COST
Regulation requires that the developer of the Yorkville
Data Center cover all costs associated with delivering
service.
The Transmission Security Agreement (TSA), the Public Utility
Act, and ICC-approved utility tariffs place the costs of
connecting, supplying, and operating the development,
as well as the required system upgrades, squarely on the
Developer.
SUSTANABILITY
ComEd tariffs will collect payments from the Yorkville Data
Center to support new renewable energy development,
ComEd energy efficiency programs, and job training
programs that benefit consumers and the environment.

DATA CENTER PROXIMITY IMPACT STUDY
Published Study:
•Keith Waters, PhD and Terry Clower, PhD
The Center for Regional Analysis, Schar School of
Policy and Government, George Mason University,
2025
•Found no impact to homes closer to Data Centers
•Studied thousands of homes in Northern Virginia
•“The analysis fails to demonstrate statistical evidence
that proximity to a data center negatively impacts
housing values. This suggests that any negative
externalities associated with data centers, such as
noise, do not have a systemic effect on housing
values.”
87
DATA CENTER PROXIMITY IMPACT STUDY
CohnReznick studied established data center uses Rural Areas and performed a paired sales analysis
of homes adjacent to existing data centers and before and after sale analysis adjacent to an existing
data center.
88
DATA CENTER PROXIMITY IMPACT STUDY
Conclusions:
•Nominal variance in property values on a per SF basis for properties adjacent to data center uses when
compared to similar properties locationally removed from their influence.
•Rates of appreciation were higher for adjacent sale data than control data and also equal to or greater
than FHFA Index data for same zip code.
•No substantial difference in unit sale prices, conditions of sale, or overall marketability.
•Confirmed activity with brokers, including Levi Boyd with BHHS Ambassador Real Estate, who discussed
the Test Sale from Data Center Study 1 -a $1,595,000 property (2,300 feet away) that received multiple
offers. Mr. Boyd mentioned that the adjacent data center was not a concern to buyers, the sellers said
that Google was a good neighbor, and that there was no perceptible noise from the data center.
•The data centers analyzed reflected sales of property adjoining an existing data center (Test Area Sales)
in which the unit sale prices were effectively the same or higher than the comparable Control Area Sales
that were not near a data center. Our research and analysis suggests that the proposed development is
unlikely to detract from adjacent property values, based on the published study and this research.
