The vacant building that once housed a Boston Market restaurant in Crystal Lake could receive upgrades to lure or accommodate future tenants, according to city documents.

The city’s Planning and Zoning Commission will vote Wednesday night whether to recommend that the City Council allow exterior changes to the 4,315-square-foot building, which would divide it into two.

The building, 5750 Route 14, housed a Boston Market until it closed in May.

Assistant City Planner Kathryn Cowlin said the property owner, IRC Retail Centers, would divide the former Boston Market building into one estimated 3,000-square-foot suite and one 1,100-square-foot suite. Each suite would have separate entrances.

The building is considered an outlot of the Crystal Point Shopping Center, which is occupied by big-box tenants Steinhafel’s; T.J. Maxx; Best Buy; Bed, Bath & Beyond; and Ulta. IRC also owns the shopping center, Cowlin said.

The main shopping center was built and annexed to Crystal Lake in the 1970s, according to city documents. The Boston Market was constructed in 1994.

Cowlin said the kitchen equipment is being removed so retailers can move in. She said the city is not yet aware of who the new tenants are or would be.

“The building is in good shape,” she said. “It’s an exterior face-lift.”

The proposal also calls for more green space. The landscape along the south and east sides, the two sides most visible to Route 14, would be increased by adding hydrangea, feather reed grass, catmint and flowers, according to city documents.

If approved, a sidewalk would be added along the side of the building to access both tenant spaces. The parking lot would remain the same.

Officials will discuss the changes at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at City Hall, 100 W. Woodstock St.

When Boston Market’s closure was made public, Heather Maieritsch, the city’s economic development manager, said she was confident the space would be filled, partly because it is in a highly visible and busy area.
