year-end results. The total net impact to the General Fund is an increase of
$16,273 and the total net impact to the Capital Improvement Fund is an
increase of $4,650,000. The large capital adjustment is related to revenues

8. NEW BUSINESS
A. Courtesy Review with True North Properties for Proposed Redevelopment of
Northwest Corner of Main Street and Old Rand Road (Trustee Bobrowski)
Summary: True North Properties requests a Courtesy Review for consideration
of a proposal to redevelop and enhance the property at the northwest corner of
Main Street and Old Rand Road, currently leased by Craving Gyros, Johnny’s
Shoe Repair, and MyFlavorItPlace. The property has been owned by the
Village of Lake Zurich since 2006 and is one of the most highly-visible corners
of the Main Street District. This property is zoned in the B-2 Central Business
District, which is intended to serve consumers with a wide variety of retail and
service uses.
True North Properties is proposing to redevelop this property with a minimum
of $1.5 million of enhancements including significant exterior facade
improvements, updating the interior of the three units with full renovations
5
and raised ceilings, and potentially adding a drive-through or pedestrian
pickup window at 10 East Main Street.
A future redevelopment agreement between the Village and True North
Properties would include the stipulation that rent on the three existing
businesses could not increase greater than 10% before June 2025, providing a
window of adjustment for the tenants to adjust to a new owner and any new
lease negotiated with the new owners.
This potential real estate transaction would be structured as a TIF real-estate
redevelopment agreement with a future Public Hearing at the Planning and
Zoning Commission to consider a drive through window. A future TIF
redevelopment agreement would appear on a future Village Board agenda for
final action.
Recommended Action: This is a non-voting item at this time. The developer
and Village Staff seek to understand the Board’s preferences towards the
proposed use at this site.
B. Courtesy Review with Tofino Shoreline Partners for Proposed Cannabis
Dispensary at Oakwood Commons Shopping Center at 680 Route 22 (Trustee
Bobrowski)
Summary: Tofino Shoreline Partners requests a Courtesy Review for
consideration of a proposal to open an adult use cannabis dispensary at a
vacant storefront in the Oakwood Commons Shopping Center. This commercial
space has been vacant since 2022 and is zoned in the B-1 Local and Community
Business District, which is intended to serve the everyday shopping needs of
consumers and provide specialty shops to attract a wider suburban target
market.
This location is compliant with the Lake Zurich buffer requirements for
cannabis zoning, providing sufficient distance away from any school, library,
day care, or park.
Operating a dispensary in Lake Zurich requires issuance of a Special Use
Permit after a Public Hearing by the Planning and Zoning Commission with
final approval by the Village Board.
Recommended Action: This is a non-voting item at this time. The developer
and Village Staff seek to understand the Board’s preferences towards the
proposed use at this site.
