Public Hearing to consider amendments to the terms of the Gurnee Zoning Ordinance regarding Setbacks for Gazebos. Jon Wildenberg presented information on the proposed text amendments addressing setbacks for gazebos. The proposal is to allow a gazebo to encroach into a rear yard building setback the same distance as a deck, i.e. 10-feet. Currently, gazebos can not be placed in a rear yard setback. Typically, a homeowner attempts to place a gazebo structure somewhere near the end of a deck.
