We believe that the sale of firearms and ammunition at the proposed location is not a suitable fit.
Why is this important?
We respectfully request that the Planning and Zoning Commission of Mundelein deny the request for a variance for the proposed property at 800 East Route 45, Mundelein. We believe that the location of a business which would sell firearms and ammunition to civilians would be better suited to an area already zoned for that usage and that such areas already exist in the village of Mundelein. The property at 800 East Route 45 abuts a day care center, two residential neighborhoods, a retirement home, and is on a main thoroughfare within a mile of three churches, youth baseball and softball fields, and a day camp. We, the undersigned, do not believe that this business is consistent with the Planning and Zoning Commission’s Comprehensive Plan because it would not strengthen existing industrial and business uses. We also believe that it would not revitalize the area as a shopping destination and community gateway because the existing neighboring retail properties are already occupied.
