player ready...A public hearing scheduled this week for the 285-unit CityGate apartment building was postponed at the developer’s request.
Naperville Planning and Zoning commissioners were to review several variances and a special use permit requested for the complex, which will include a top-floor event venue, Wednesday night but the item was pulled from the agenda and rescheduled to Aug. 7.
The proposal for the five-acre development at Westings Avenue and CityGate Lane, north of Interstate 88, calls a five-story building event center.
Although residential use was not originally planned for the property, Naperville city staff are endorsing the project and said the residential component will complement the property’s mixed-use development. CityGate includes a hotel, several restaurants and retail/service businesses and offices. A hockey complex/event venue is also being built on the site.
The apartment’s building’s top-floor event center, which would be owned by the Calamos Group, would be used for banquet space and is to include a ballroom, kitchen area and outdoor terrace.
