Trustees refer zoning text amendment to allow retail firearms sales in Commercial Community district
Summary
Trustees voted to send a proposed text amendment to Chapter 82 (Zoning) that would allow retail sale of firearms and ammunition as a Special Use in the Commercial Community (CC) zoning district to the Ordinance Report for further consideration.
Village trustees voted August 25 to send a proposed text amendment to Chapter 82 of the Village Code to the Ordinance Report that would allow retail sale of firearms and ammunition as a Special Use in the Commercial Community (CC) zoning district. Trustee Carl Wedig moved the referral; Trustee Sally Hollembeak seconded and the motion passed by voice vote.
The action forwards the draft amendment for formal review and potential ordinance drafting by staff and the Ordinance committee. The referral does not approve any particular business or location; it authorizes staff and the Ordinance Report to consider language that would add retail firearms/ammunition sales to the list of Special Uses in CC.
Next steps: the Ordinance Report is expected to review the draft text and return recommendations to the Village Board. No public hearings or permit approvals occurred at this meeting.
