Applicant withdraws rezoning request for former firehouse; will seek conditional-use approval for daycare
Summary
Council was told the applicant for the former firehouse property plans to withdraw a rezoning application and instead file for a conditional-use permit to operate a daycare. Council members noted a shorter decision timeline for conditional-use applications than for rezoning.
An applicant has informed village officials that a planned rezoning request for the former firehouse site will be withdrawn and replaced by a conditional-use application seeking permission to operate a daycare on the parcel.
Village staff said the applicant initially sought rezoning to allow apartments but has shifted course and will withdraw that rezoning application in favor of a conditional-use filing. Council members said a conditional-use process does not require rezoning but does require a public hearing and that the statutory decision window is shorter — about 60 days for conditional uses versus approximately 120 days for rezoning.
Why it matters: changing to conditional use alters the review timeline and process. Council members also noted the applicant has a prospective tenant for the site, and staff confirmed the village’s code allows the review process to proceed under conditional-use procedures.
Ending: staff said the applicant will submit a written notice of withdrawal and follow up with a conditional-use application. No formal action by council was recorded during the discussion.
