Zoning of

Uprising Bakery

and Cafe

Lake In The Hills, IL

Zoned

B-2 District

"This issue is about a business conducting activities it was never permitted to conduct....the Village is seeking compliance with its zoning regulations."

-Shannon Andrews

"Ms. Sac...is now offering continued paid entertainment events."

-Shannon Andrews

"This zoning designation prohibits entertainment..."

-Shannon Andrews

"Ms. Sac stated she now sees the potential revenue from these entertainment events as being essential to her business. She was clear that her intent was to continue offering entertainment on a more frequent and extended basis. ...the operation of an entertainment business is not a permitted use at that location."

"The change is not in the type of entertainment being offered, but in the offering of regular and extended entertainment events as an ongoing part of the business."

-Shannon Andrews, Village Administrator

"...but rather has been an expressed desire by the business owner to conduct regular, multi-hour, pay-for-admission events, to sustain the bakery business, which are simply not permitted at that location. It is a bakery and cafe, not an entertainment hall."

"The landlord also made clear that the lease agreement did not contemplate any type of entertainment as a permitted activity in the space. There are also impact on nearby residents, which is why the zoning is designated for neighborhood convenience."

-Bradford S. Stewart

"The Village's position is that there are likely some activities that can continue to be conducted at Uprising Bakery and Cafe, subject to certain parameters, in compliance with its zoning."

-Bradford S. Stewart

"...to be clear, the Village cannot condone the bakery business relying on hosting ticketed entertainment events, in its zoning district as part of its ongoing business model, which is what the business owner told the Village last week was its plan."

-Bradford S. Stewart

"These parameters also honor the Zoning Ordinance that does not contemplate 2104 Algonquin Road becoming an "entertainment" venue."

-Bradford S. Stewart

"...its activities will be conducted indoors..."

-Bradford S. Steward

"The Village reserves the right to fully enforce the municipal Code and Zoning Ordinance going forward and to respond appropriately to any complaints that arise about the impacts of activities on other businesses and residents."
