Resident Asks Village Board to Reconsider Mini-Warehouse Zoning Change
Summary
A Howard resident urged the board to revisit a zoning amendment that removed mini-warehouse use from the General Industrial district and said his property was not grandfathered; staff said legal review and a formal zoning amendment would be required.
During the public-comment period on April 13, resident Mike Barlament asked the Village Board to reconsider a recent zoning amendment that removed mini-warehouse use from the General Industrial zoning district and said his property was not grandfathered after the change.
Director of Community Development Dave Wiese told the board the village previously amended the General Industrial district to remove certain uses, including mini warehousing, and that any change to reinstate the use would require action by the Village Board or the Plan Commission and a legal review to determine whether grandfathering applies.
Trustee Cathy Hughes said she would follow up with staff to consider the request as a potential future agenda item. No board action was taken at the meeting; Wiese identified the formal steps that would be required to pursue a zoning amendment or a determination on grandfathering.
