THROUGH: Jason Berry, CEcD, AICP, Economic & Community Development Director
SUBJECT: An Ordinance Rezoning 0.301 Acres of Property Located at 1115 Warner
Avenue in Lemont, Illinois
DATE: February 23, 2026
SUMMARY/BACKGROUND
Lemont Township is under contract to sell its former office building at 1115 Warner Avenue to
Lina's Embroidery for relocation of its business to this location. The property is currently zoned
R-6 Multi -Family Residential District, which permits government offices but does not permit an
embroidery business. The proposed rezoning to the B-1 Office/Retail Transitional District
would establish the appropriate zoning classification to allow the Lina's Embroidery office use
at this property.
Approval of the associated parking variation request, presented as a separate ordinance, is
also required for the use to fully comply with the off-street parking requirements of the Unified
Development Ordinance.
