The committee of the whole heard first readings Thursday of two proposed zoning amendments and took no formal action.

One ordinance would amend Section 11‑10C‑3 (conditional uses in the C‑3 general commercial district) to address firearm sales with an indoor shooting range and training. A separate ordinance read as a first reading would amend zoning language addressing electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and accessory uses in the C‑3 district. Both items were described as first readings that originated at the Sept. 18 Committee of the Whole.

Why it matters: zoning changes for conditional uses can affect where certain retail activities are allowed and may set standards or conditions for operations such as indoor firing ranges or EV infrastructure. Both items are at the introductory stage and will return to the board for additional readings and public comment as required under the village’s zoning procedures.

No votes or final actions were taken at the committee meeting; staff will prepare ordinance language and subsequent readings for the board.

Meeting evidence: the committee record shows the two ordinance titles were read into the record and identified as first readings and referred for further consideration.
