Council approves rezoning and alcohol special use at 209 S. Washington St.
Summary
The Jerseyville City Council voted unanimously to rezone 209 S. Washington St. from R-5 to B-3 and grant a special-use permit to allow alcohol sales as part of a proposed event venue; owner Tammy Shireman was present at the meeting.
The Jerseyville City Council on May 27 approved a rezoning of 209 S. Washington St. from residential R-5 to commercial B-3 and granted a special-use permit allowing alcohol sales so the property may operate as an event venue. The motion was made by Commissioner John Miles and seconded by Commissioner Anthony Steckel; the roll call vote was unanimous and the motion carried.
Tammy Shireman, the property owner, was present at the meeting when the Planning and Zoning Board recommendation was considered. The council did not attach additional conditions beyond the special use stated in the Planning and Zoning recommendation as read into the record. The approval follows local review by the Planning & Zoning Board, which forwarded the petition to the council with a recommendation to approve.
The decision changes the official zoning for 209 S. Washington St., moving the parcel from single-family/residential classification to a commercial category that allows business uses and, with the special use, on-site alcohol sales tied to event operations. The council’s unanimous vote finalized the measure at the May 27 meeting.
