UPDATE: Adult-Use Cannabis Businesses in Unincorporated Lake County
On April 28, the Lake County Public Works, Planning and Transportation (PWPT) Committee discussed proposed zoning amendments that would permit adult-use cannabis businesses in unincorporated Lake County subject to certain restrictions. The meeting was recorded and can be viewed online.
The discussion will continue at the upcoming PWPT Committee meeting starting at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 5. Lake County staff will present details on the proposed amendments that include modifications based on the recommendations made by the PWPT Committee and the Lake County Zoning Board of Appeals. All interested residents are invited to the meeting and can register to attend through Zoom. Pending a PWPT Committee recommendation on the proposed amendments on May 5, the topic will move to the Lake County Board meeting for final action on Tuesday, May 11.
Individuals attending remotely/virtually may provide public comment during the PWPT meeting on May 5. Individuals not in attendance may provide written public comment that must be received by 3 p.m. Tuesday, May 4 by email to publiccomment@lakecountyil.gov or delivered to the County Board Office, 18 N. County Street, 10th Floor, Waukegan, IL.
Residents are also encouraged to visit Lake County's new adult-use cannabis web page to learn more about the issue, including proposed zoning amendments and maps. The page also provides a way for the public to submit input, questions and concerns directly to the County's project team.
