Lindenhurst tightens temporary‑use rules and adds permit fee; updates building permit fees
Summary
The Board adopted ordinances to add application requirements and standards for temporary uses (e.g., festivals, markets), to clarify exemptions for regular agency activities, and to associate a fee with temporary use permit applications; building permit fee schedules were also updated to remove discrepancies.
Village staff told the Board they are seeing more requests for temporary uses such as festivals, fairs and farmers markets and proposed changes to add application materials, set standards, and provide a clear definition of temporary uses while exempting regular activities provided by other agencies.
Trustee Dawn Suchy moved and Trustee Ron Grace seconded approval of Ordinance 25‑2‑2311 to amend temporary use rules; the motion passed by roll call. In a related item, staff proposed adding a fee for temporary use permit applications and updating building permit fees to reconcile discrepancies across the website and permitting software; Trustee Suchy moved to approve Ordinance 25‑2‑2312 and Trustee Patty Chybowski seconded, and the motion passed by roll call.
Staff emphasized the intention is not to create unintended obstacles for agencies (for example, park district summer camps and church funerals are to remain exempt when in their proper zones); specifics of new fee amounts and the updated fee schedule were not detailed in the minutes.
