THE NORTHBROOK TOWER Application for recreational marijuana dispensary heading to vote An application for Northbrook’s first recreational marijuana dispensary is moving forward. The Northbrook Plan Commission instructed village staff to prepare a resolution recommending approval of an application filed by Greenhouse Group LLC as the potential lessee of the property located at 755 Skokie Blvd. during its Nov. 5 regular meeting. Commissioners conducted their second public hearing on the application during the meeting. The commission held its first review of the proposal during its Oct. 15 meeting, where almost two dozen members of the public spoke during the publiccomment portion. Commissioners considered all elements of the application Oct. 15 except a text amendment to allow adultuse cannabis dispensaries as special-permit uses in Northbrook. At that time, Village trustees had not yet determined their opinions on the matter. Members of the commission predominantly agreed that the applicant’s requested relief was appropriate at that meeting. The Village Board of Trustees then unanimously voted Oct. 22 to allow special-use permits to be issued for recreational marijuana dispensaries in the C-2, C-3, C-4 and C-5 districts, but not in downtown Northbrook. With the Village Board’s approval, the Plan Commission was then able to consider all parts of Greenhouse Group’s application. The current proposal calls for a renovation of the existing 9,938-squarefoot building at 755 Skokie Blvd., which used to house the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and has long been vacant. According to the board packet, the applicant is proposing to completely renovate the Please see NFYN, 15
