FROM C -3 and C -4 COMMERCIAL DISTRICT TO
I -2 GENERAL INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT TO ALLOW A
FLEA MARKET AND CONTINUATION OF A RESTAURANT & LOUNGE AT
10900 ROUTE 83 IN LEMONT TOWNSHIP
WHEREAS, The Village of Lemont is a zoned municipality with limits adjacent to the
property which is the subject of a request for a rezoning in the cause known as Docket Number 6683
before the Cook County Zoning Board of Appeals, said property being described as follows:
THAT PART OF LOT 2 IN DOOLIN & KIRK'S RESUBDIVISION OF THE E.
404.7 FEET AND N. 121.17 FEET OF LOT 1 IN RESUBDIVISION OF E. 404.7
FEET OF SW 1/4 OF SE 1/4 TOGETHER WITH SE 1/4 OF SE 1/4 (EXCEPT
LOTS 1 TO 5 BOTH INCLUDED IN CHRISTIAN BOE'S SUBDIVISION OF
CERTAIN PARTS THEREOF) IN SECTION 14, TOWNSHIP 37 N. RANGE 11,
E. OF THE 3RD PRINCIPAL MERIIIIAN IN COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS.
COMMONLY KNOWN AS 10900 Route 83; and
WHEREAS, the entire boundary of the subject property is within 1 1/2 miles of the corporate
limits of the Village of Lemont; and
WHEREAS, the existing Village of Lemont Comprehensive Plan and the new Cook County
Comprehensive Plan indicates that this area is designated for commercial or business uses, not
industrial uses; and
WHEREAS, the petitioner would be allowed to establish any permitted use in the I -2 District
without any further review or approval by the County; and
WHEREAS, the allowable uses in the I -2 District include many uses which may have a
negative impact on surrounding businesses or open space uses, and may cause further blight to other
properties in the area; and
WHEREAS, the change in zoning to an I -2 District is more than would be required to allow
the proposed flea market use as a special use could be granted in the existing commercial district
zoning; and
WHEREAS, continuation of the tavern use will continue to have a negative effect on other
properties in the immediate area; and
WHEREAS, the rezoning would substantially alter the character of the neighborhood and
may cause harm to the values of property within the vicinity of the proposed rezoning.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the President and Board of Trustees of the
Village of Lemont, Counties of Cook, DuPage and Will, State of Illinois, that the Village of Lemont
hereby objects to the request for rezoning from C -3 and C -4 Commercial District to I -2 General
Industrial District, which is the subject of Cook County Zoning Board of Appeals Docket Number
