the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval to the City Council a request

2. PZC 2016-02 Jet's Towing and Services, petitioner, has filed an application
with Kendall County requesting a Zoning Map Amendment (rezoning) from
A-1 Agricultural to M-1 Limited Manufacturing. The property is located at
790 Eldamain Road in Bristol Township and is currently being used for a
towing and truck storage area.
Action Item
1-1/2 Mile Review (Special Use)
Ms. Noble said this case was a compliance issue and the petitioner is operating illegally
since it is not zoned for this use. It is a 9-acre parcel and the owner wants to rezone. The
current Comp Plan shows this area as industrial and the owner is looking at a new use to
be consistent with the Comp Plan. City staff has objections to the petition as outlined in
the staff memo and the County objects also. The committee opposed the current use and
noted the owner lives there also. Mr. Marcum made a motion to recommend a formal
objection be made which will be filed with the County and to also approve staff
recommendations. Ms. Goins seconded the motion.
Roll call: Olson-yes, Vinyard-yes, Gockman-yes, Goins-yes, Horaz-yes, Marcum-yes,
Harker-yes. Passed 7-0.
Additional Business
Chairman Harker welcomed Jason Engberg, who is the new Sr. Planner for the City as of
August 1st. He was previously a City intern 3-4 years ago.
