Title

Committee action to approve an amendment to a conditional use permit (CUP) to allow for improvements to the Des Plaines River Water Reclamation Facility for the Lake County Department of Public Works.

Staff Summary

·      In 1991 the County Board approved a CUP for an expansion to the Des Plaines River Water Reclamation Facility (a.k.a. Pekara Treatment Plant), in Vernon Township (District 21).

·      The Lake County Department of Public Works has submitted an application to the Planning, Building and Development Department to add clarifier equipment and to conduct other site improvements to the plant.

·      Under Article 3 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), amendments involving the addition of accessory structures to an approved CUP require approval of the Planning, Building and Zoning Committee.

·      Approval of this request will enable the Department of Public Works to file an application for permits related to their improvement plan.

·      Planning, Building and Development recommends approval.
