The motion was filed by the Village of Cherry Valley. The transcript records the procedural motion and unanimous approval; the Commission did not record additional conditions or public testimony on the amendment during the meeting minutes provided.
Because the amendment changes text in the zoning chapter to categorize firearms and ammunition retail as a Special Use in CC, future permit reviews for any such business would proceed under the Special Use process in Chapter 82.
