Staff Summary
• Gurnee Truck Stop, Inc. - Thomas Chummar and Mary Thomas, record owners, have submitted an application to rezone the western 7.51 acres of parcel 07-10-200-009, from the Agricultural (AG) Zoning District to the General Commercial (GC) Zoning District. 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 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 rezoning petition is being partnered with an application for a PUD Preliminary Plan under Zoning Board of Appeals Case No. 7617 to address minor deviations from Chapter 151 of the County Code and to enable regulatory flexibly in the integration of mixed commercial uses on a site with significant natural resource limitations.
