The agenda is not posted on the city's website yet, but the Planning Commission will meet on July 17 to consider, among other issues, a couple of zoning requests. One, from Lindsey Fisher, requests a rezoning of 413 N. Oakland Ave from Low Density Residential to Neighborhood Business, as well as a Special Use Permit to operate an automobile repair service at the site. Incidentally, just before this meeting, the Zoning Board of Appeals will meet to consider Fisher's appeal of the cease and desist letter from the city that caused the closure of Oakland Ave. Auto Service. Fisher, or her representatives, looks to have a busy evening.
New on the agenda is a request from Jeff Cerma of TitleMax Illinois for a Special Use Permit for a credit service to open in the old Wendy's location on East Walnut, bringing in another short term loan company right across the street from the one already there and a block and a half away from the relocated State Finance. I thought we were saturated but I guess TitleMax sees a growing market here for short term loans

The only thing worse then too many lawyers, payday credit businesses. The state should pass a law to end predatory loans, and put them out of business. Many states have done it already.
