13. OTHER BUSINESS (CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION)
Request of John Bearrows, Rochelle, IL to discuss use of motor homes/RVs by property owner in the AG-1 Agricultural District
Site: 10388 E. Hickory Ridge Dr.
Section 17, Flagg Township
Mr. Bearrows was present and gave a brief history of the property in question. Mr. Bearrows stated we need clarification as to whether an owner of property zoned AG-1 Agricultural District can have an RV on the site for personal use. Mr. Miller reviewed Section 16-6-21 of the zoning ordinance and stated #2 would apply to this circumstance which, with this Committees approval, would allow them to store the RV on the site for weekend use. The process is once an application is received, all the adjoining property owners are notified of the request and the meeting date of the APZC committee. They will have an opportunity to voice their concerns at that meeting. If the request is approved, the use would be subject to yearly renewals/reviews by the Zoning office. Discussion ensued regarding building on the site and rezoning options.
Request of Candace Rivera, 304 N. Linn St., Kings, IL to discuss possible rezoning from R-2 Single Family Residential District to B-1 Business District
Site: 304 N. Linn St., Kings, IL
Section 27, White Rock Township
Ms. Rivera was present and stated I have a mobile coffee truck that I have parked in the alley on my property in Kings where we serve coffee & lunch drive thru style through the alley. We originally wanted to park the truck in the front yard along Rte. 64 but that location seemed unsafe. It is only myself and my neighbor that use the alley. The property was originally zoned B 1 Business District and in 2016 we had to be rezoned to R-2 Single-Family Residential District in order to purchase as dwellings were not allowed to rebuilt in the B-1 Business district. We would like to rezone back to B-1 Business District so I can have my mobile truck parked there. Mr. Miller stated in 2016 dwellings were not allowed to be rebuilt if damaged more than 50%. That ordinance was changed last year to allow existing homes in the B-1 Business District to be rebuilt or added on to. Discussion ensued regarding Home Occupations and if allowing this use would set a precedence. Mr. Smith stated I have had numerous calls regarding this. There is already a business like this in the area that is in the correct zoning district. The alley is not safe for traffic and there is all residential use around this site. This proposed use is not conducive to this area. Discussion ensued. Mr. Miller stated for her to be allowed to have this mobile business on her property, it would need to be rezoned to B-1 Business District as this use is not allowed in the R-2 Single-Family District. Ms. Rivera is here today to ask the committee if she can apply to rezone and follow the process. We need a consensus or a vote. Committee consensus was to allow Ms. Rivera to apply to rezone the property to B-1 Business District.
Mr. Smith asked what is the status of the business continuing as it now. Mr. Miller stated we have not issued a cease & desist. Mr. Smith stated this use should not be allowed to continue until the property is rezoned.
14. PUBLIC COMMENT
Mr. Smith asked about the status of the project on corner of 251. Mr. Miller stated the zoning certificate is still valid and they are not in any violation.
