Public Hearing for Medical Cannabis Zoning
The Lake County Board directed the Zoning Board of Appeals to conduct a public hearing on the proposed text amendments to the Lake County Unified Development Ordinance. These amendments would create regulations for the siting and operation of medical cannabis cultivation centers and dispensaries in the unincorporated area, which are now allowed under Illinois law. Lake County and over three dozen municipalities worked together to develop model zoning regulations that focus on location, operation, parking, marijuana-related signage, and security.
