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.
