| Freund Real Estate, LLC currently operates pre-existing, legal, non-conforming use, in the form of an automotive and truck repair facility on property located at 10255 Keslinger Road. Changing industry standards have necessitated that the existing facility be enlarged so to better accommodate newer vehicle sizes. However, the DeKalb County Zoning Ordinance does not allow for the expansion of a non-conforming use. In order to allow for the needed expansion of the facility, Freund Real Estate, LLC is asking to rezone the property from BC, Business Conservation District, to PD-I, Planned Development Industrial District. Before the County Board can approve a rezoning, a public hearing must be held before the DeKalb County Hearing Officer. Freund Real Estate, LLC is proposing a Zoning Map Amendment for the property located at 10255 Keslinger Road in unincorporated Afton Township. A public hearing will be held by the DeKalb County Hearing Officer on Thursday, April 27, 2017, at 2:00 p.m. in the DeKalb County Administration Building, East Conference Room, south entrance, 110 E. Sycamore St., Sycamore, IL 60178. All interested persons are encouraged to attend and be heard, as this will be the only opportunity for public input on the application.
