Title
Resolution on Zoning Board of Appeals Case No. 7617, which consists of a petition of Gurnee Truck Stop, Inc. - Thomas Chummar and Mary Thomas record owners, requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) and PUD Preliminary Plan for the western 7.51 acres of PIN 07-10-200-009 to continue the use and improvement of the existing Gasoline Service Station, Convenience Store, Restaurant, Truck Stop, Trailer Parking, Truck Rest Area, Automotive Repair, Car Wash, and the implementation of site enhancements to improve marketing and site circulation.
Staff Summary
• Gurnee Truck Stop, Inc. - Thomas Chummar and Mary Thomas, record owners, have submitted an application for a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) and PUD Preliminary Plan to bring the site into compliance with the provisions of Chapter 151 of the Lake County Code and to enable the owners the ability to implement site refinements to meet the needs of the mixed use commercial site.
• The property is located on the east side of U.S. Route 41 approximately 0.20 miles north of the intersection of W. Stearns School Road and US Route 41.The property has significant natural resource limitations; consequently only the western 7.51 acres of parcel 07-10-200-009 will be subject to the Conditional Use Permit.
• The property was previously developed in the Village of Gurnee and was disconnected from Gurnee in January 2015; consequently, the property is now located in the unincorporated area of Lake County. As disconnected property is automatically assigned the Agricultural (AG) zoning district classification, the subject property’s uses have been rendered nonconforming.
• The Conditional Use Permit application for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) and PUD Preliminary Plan is partnered with an application for rezoning from the Agricultural (AG) District to the General Commercial (GC) District under Zoning Board of Appeals Case No. 7184.
