AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE XV,
CHAPTER 157, ZONING - CODE OF TAZEWELL COUNTY
ON PETITION OF ALL ABOUT HOME, LLC
(Zoning Board Case No. 26-44-Z)
WHEREAS, a petition has been filed with Tazewell County, Illinois, By All About Home, LLC
for an Amendment to the Official Morton Township Zoning Maps of Tazewell County to change the
Zoning Classification of property from an A-1 Agriculture Preservation District to an I-1 Light
Industrial District; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing on said application designated as Zoning Board Case No. 2644-Z as held by the Tazewell County Zoning Board of Appeals on October 6, 2026, following due
publication of notice of said hearing in accordance with law, and the said Zoning Board of Appeals
thereafter made a report to the County Board recommending approval; and
WHEREAS, said report to the Zoning Board of Appeals contained the following findings of
fact:
1.

The proposed amendment shall not be detrimental to the orderly development of Tazewell
County.
(POSITIVE) The future land use map within the Tazewell County Comprehensive Plan is
intended to show the “general areas where development should occur to ensure and orderly
development pattern that protects valuable, sensitive lands for agriculture and
environmental conservation.” The future land use map is such that the subject properties
future land use cannot be identified with 100% accuracy, but it appears that the area is in
the I-1 district for light industrial development. As the proposed zoning amendment looks to
change the zoning to match the future land use category, the proposal follows the orderly
development pattern laid out in the Comprehensive Plan.

-127

LU-26-14

2.

The proposed amendment shall not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety,
morals or general welfare of Tazewell County.
(POSITIVE) The surrounding area sees multiple properties under the I-1 designation
including a grain silo and Ameren facility. As the nearby residences are also close by to
these properties, an additional I-1 zoned property should not cause any new health or safety
issues. As such, the proposed amendment possesses no foreseeable danger or risk to the
public health, safety, morals or general welfare of Tazewell County or its residents.

3.

The request is consistent with existing uses of property within the general area of the
property in question.
(POSITIVE) There are multiple properties directly adjacent to the subject property that
operate light industrial business including a grain silo and an Ameren facility. As there are
other examples of light industrial business operations in the immediate area, staff finds the
request to be consistent with other properties in the general area.

4.

The request is consistent with the zoning classifications of property within the general area
of the property in question.
(POSITIVE) There are multiple properties adjacent to the subject property that are zoned I-1
and operate light industrial businesses. Therefore, the request is consistent with zoning
classifications of property within the general area of the subject property.

5.

The property in question is not suitable for the uses permitted under the existing zoning
classification.
(POSITVE) The A-1 district is intended to preserve land that is best suited for agriculture.
The subject property is small and surrounded by light industrial businesses and single-family
homes. Due to the surrounding uses and the small size, the subject property is not suitable
for the uses permitted under the existing zoning classification of A-1.

6.

The property in question is suitable for the uses permitted under the proposed zoning
classification.
-228

LU-26-14

(POSITIVE) The subject property is of a size and in a location where light industrial uses
would be suitable. Nearby properties have been zoned light industrial for many years, and
the area is identified as I-1 in the future land use map meaning it has been determined that
the area is suitable for uses permitted I-1 district.
7.

Consideration to the trend of development, if any, in the general area of the property in
question, including changes, if any, which may have taken place since the property in
question was placed in its present zoning classification.
(POSITIVE) There has not been much recent development in the general area of the
subject property although it appears that some of the structures on the Ameren facility have
been built after the existing structures on the subject property were built.

8.

Consideration to the length of time the property has been vacant as zoned, considered in
the context of the land development in the area surrounding the subject property.
(POSITIVE) The subject property has been primarily utilized to assist nearby agricultural
operations with the two large existing sheds for many years.

9.

Consideration to the proposed map amendment being within one and one-half miles of a
municipality with an adopted Comprehensive Plan.
(NEUTRAL) The subject property is not within 1.5 miles of any municipality with an adopted
Comprehensive Plan.

10.

Consideration to the relative gain to the public as compared to the hardship imposed upon
the individual property owner, should the proposed amendment be denied.
(POSITIVE) Rezoning the property to I-1 would align the property with the future land use
map as seen in the Tazewell County Comprehensive Plan as the subject property is
designated as I-1 Light Industrial. Comprehensive Plans are generally seen as documents
which serve a public benefit so this rezone would be seen as a positive in this instance.
Otherwise, the public does not see much of a gain from rezoning from A-1 to I-1 as the jobs
created or services provided would not be large due to the property size. Denying the
-329

LU-26-14

proposed rezone would require the property owner to continue utilizing the subject property
for agriculture related purposes.
11.

Consideration to the proposed amendment being consistent with the goals, objectives, and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
(POSITIVE) Due to the subject property requesting to be rezoned to match the future land
use category listed in the Comprehensive Plan and the below principles and strategies
being met, the proposed zoning map amendment is consistent with the goals, objectives,
and policies of the Tazewell County Comprehensive Plan:

▪ New and existing businesses and industries are willing and able to establish and
maintain operations.

▪ Land development occurs in an orderly fashion.
which findings of fact are hereby
APPROVING

ADOPTED

by the County Board as the reason for

the Rezoning request.

well is no longer in use, it must be properly sealed after obtaining a
well sealing permit from TCHD. A TCHD representative must be
