DOWNERS GROVE – The McDonald's at 1620 Ogden Ave. plans to move about one mile west and build a new restaurant at 2535 Ogden Ave., according to Downers Grove Plan Commission documents.
The plan commission voted last week to recommend a special use to allow the new restaurant to build a double drive-thru.
Plan Commission Chairwoman Anastasia Urban said owners did not indicate a timeline for the project, or what was planned for the old location, which would close when the new McDonald's opens for business.
The move is pending building permits and village council approval of the special use recommended by the plan commission.
The new, 38,815-square-foot property currently has a single family home and two other structures. The property was formerly occupied by a landscape architecture business but is currently vacant, according to village documents.
McDonald's would demolish the three structures and build a new, 4,395-foot restaurant with a 24-hour drive-thru.
