Summary

The Planning Board recommended that the council consider a map amendment to rezone 777 North Kennedy Drive from C‑1 Neighborhood Commercial to R‑1 Single‑Family Residential and forwarded findings and staff recommendation to city council.

The City of Kankakee Planning Board voted to recommend that City Council consider a map amendment to rezone 777 North Kennedy Drive (parcel 16‑09‑31‑212‑013) from C‑1 Neighborhood Commercial to R‑1 Single‑Family Residential.

Applicant Ray Lazaric said the property previously housed a law office and has been converted back toward residential use; nearby land uses include single‑family homes and an empty lot. Planning staff recommended forwarding the map amendment, noting adjacency and existing neighborhood character.

The board voted to recommend the rezoning and to include staff standards and recommendation in the council packet (motion by Chip Warham, second by Barry McCracken; roll call unanimous). The recommendation will be scheduled for City Council consideration.
