Salem Lakes approves several rezoning requests and planning items; one land-use amendment debated

The Salem Lakes Village Board approved a series of planning-and-zoning items, including rezoning requests and planned-unit-development overlays for parcels presented by staff.

The board unanimously approved Ordinance 2026.02-113 (Cawley Real Estate LLC) to apply a PUD overlay on a parcel on County Highway C near downtown Wilmot and Ordinance 2026.02-114 (Evergreen Row LLC) for a parcel near State Highway 83, both following planning-and-zoning recommendations. The board also discussed Ordinance 2026.02-115, a land-use map amendment request by Countryside Commerce Center LLC, during which a trustee initially moved to table the matter pending more information about the property’s future use; after staff clarified the request was a comprehensive-plan change only (not tied to tax-increment financing), the trustee rescinded the table motion and the board approved the planning-division recommendation. A related rezoning/PUD request for the same parcel (Ordinance 2026.02-116) was approved; the planning commission vote on that item was reported as 6–1 in favor.

The board took these votes by motion and voice vote, recording 'Aye' responses and no formal opposition on the rezoning items reported in the transcript.
