Teravis, a multi‑state cannabis operator, presented a concept to the Mundelein Village Board on Nov. 25 for a second adult‑use dispensary at the former Rosati’s building in the Mundelein Crossing shopping center.

Stu Weiss, a partner at Del Watt Friedman representing Teravis, said the company is not seeking zoning relief or financial incentives but is asking the board to consider increasing Mundelein’s single existing business registration for adult‑use dispensaries to two. Weiss said the Route 60 outlot building sits in the village’s C‑4 district, meets buffer requirements from schools and day‑care centers, and has roughly 80 parking spaces that satisfy code.

Nick Lehi Mattis, a Teravis co‑founder, described the operator’s track record, construction timelines and local hiring plans. “We do not do on‑site consumption and we do not have any site any plans for on‑site consumption at this location,” Mattis said when trustees asked whether customers would be allowed to consume products on the premises. He told the board Teravis expects to staff about 30–40 locally hired employees and said typical permit‑to‑open schedules for the company run 100–120 days after a building permit is issued.

Teravis presented a trade‑area analysis that, it said, shows roughly 113,000 people within a five‑mile radius and 5,100 local cannabis shoppers who currently travel outside Mundelein. Using a conservative average basket of $65 and a 3% local tax rate, the company estimated “about $120,000” in incremental tax revenue from captured customers.

Dan Farrell of Silver Star Protection Group described the company’s security plan: layered lighting, license‑plate‑capable cameras, access controls at each interior threshold, ID barcode scanning at the front desk, a state‑badge requirement for employees behind the point of sale, a DEA‑specification vault, seed‑to‑sale tracking (BioTrac) and strict delivery procedures. “There is not one ounce of product on that floor,” Farrell said. “All the product is in the vault behind the red counter.”

Trustees thanked the presenters and asked questions about exterior design, lighting that could affect nearby homes, traffic flow and delivery vehicles. Trustee Wilson and others said they favored a discreet exterior; Trustee Schwenk and Trustee Meyer voiced conditional support but wanted to hear from nearby residents of the adjacent Sheldon Woods development about lighting and neighborhood impacts before voting on any change to the village’s business‑registration cap.

No formal change to the village’s business‑registration limit was approved at the meeting. The board asked staff to continue evaluating the proposal and to coordinate resident outreach and building‑department controls on design and lighting as the entitlement process proceeds.

Teravis representatives said they would work with village staff on final elevations and code requirements and that they would continue community outreach if the board grants direction to proceed.
