Information
The Village has received complaints about local tobacco and vape shops selling tobacco
products to underage customers. The minimum age to purchase tobacco products in Illinois is
twenty-one.
"Tobacco products" includes traditional tobacco leaf products such as cigarettes, cigars, and
chewing tobacco and electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) such as e -cigarettes, vapes,
and e -cigars. "Tobacco establishments" are businesses where the primary use is tobacco
product sales or consumption, such as tobacco shops, vape shops, tobacco lounges, and vape
lounges. Tobacco products and tobacco establishments are inclusive of vape products and
vape establishments.
The goal of the proposed code revision is to increase scrutiny of tobacco establishments in
order to deter business owners from engaging in criminal activity and to further curb illegal
sales of tobacco products to persons under twenty-one years of age.
Discussion
Current Review Process in Mount Prospect
The Village of Mount Prospect allows tobacco shops by right in B-3, B-4, B-5, and B -5C zoning
districts, and vape shops by right in B-3 and B-4 zoning districts. Tobacco lounges are a
conditional use in B-3, B-4, B-5, and B -5C zoning districts. Vape lounges are a conditional use
in B-3 and B-4 zoning districts.
Tobacco establishment owners are required to obtain a business license with an additional
tobacco license fee. Other retail establishments such as grocery stores, gas stations, liquor
stores, and pharmacies are permitted to sell tobacco products as an ancillary use. At this time,
there is no requirement for tobacco establishments to undergo any kind of background
investigation by the Police Department.
Summary of Proposed Changes to the Village of Mount Prospect Code
Staff is proposing several updates to the code to increase regulation of tobacco establishments
where the primary use is tobacco product sales and/or consumption. Tobacco establishments
include tobacco shops, vape shops, tobacco lounges, and vape lounges.
14.604: LAND USE TABLES
Staff proposes that tobacco shops, vape shops, tobacco lounges, and vape lounges shall
require conditional use approval in the following zoning districts:

Tobacco product sales as a primary use would no longer be permitted by right in any zoning
district in the Village.
Establishments that sell tobacco products as an accessory retail use (e.g. grocery stores, gas
stations) would not be subject to conditional use approval unless otherwise noted in the land
use tables.
11.802: APPLICATION FOR TOBACCO ESTABLISHMENT LICENSE
Staff proposes a more rigorous business license process for tobacco and vape shops and
lounges. "Tobacco establishment" will be a new subtype of license for tobacco product sales
and/or consumption as a primary use. Applicants will be required to submit a tobacco
addendum with their business license application, undergo a criminal record check, and be
fingerprinted with the Mount Prospect Police Department.
11.802.1: APPLICATION FOR TOBACCO SALES LICENSE
Staff proposes that other establishments selling tobacco products as an accessory retail use
obtain a tobacco sales license in conjunction with a valid Class I or Class II business license.
Such establishments include, but are not limited to, gas stations, liquor stores, pharmacy
stores, and grocery stores. These establishments will not be required to submit a tobacco
addendum, nor will they undergo additional investigation by the Mount Prospect Police
Department.
11.803: ISSUANCE OF LICENSE FOR A TOBACCO ESTABLISHMENT
Staff proposes that tobacco establishments will be denied a business license if the applicant
has been found guilty of certain offenses, if the applicant has made fraudulent statements or
omissions in their application, or if the applicant has had a similar permit or license revoked or
suspended elsewhere.
11.808: VENDING MACHINES OR SELF-SERVICE DISPLAYS
Staff proposes to prohibit tobacco product vending or self-service displays in any form and in
any location in the Village.
11.813: SALE OR TRANSFER OR CHANGE OF LOCATION
Staff proposes that upon sale, transfer, or relocation of the business, the tobacco
establishment license shall be null and void. This provision would not apply to the tobacco
sales license afforded to Class 1 and Class 2 businesses that sell tobacco products as an
accessory use.
APPENDIX A, DIVISION II FEES, RATES AND TAXES
Staff proposes a new fee structure for the annual tobacco establishment license, with the first
year fee at $250, and then $100 each year thereafter. The annual tobacco sales license fee
will remain at $50. The tobacco vending machine fee will be stricken from the code.
Standards for Text Amendments
Staff finds that the proposed text amendments meet the standards contained in Section
14.203(D) of the Zoning Ordinance. The amendments will support the Zoning Ordinance
purpose, which is to protect and promote the health, safety, comfort, convenience and general
welfare of residents of the Village, by curbing sales of tobacco products to underage
consumers.
Public Comment
As of this writing, staff has not received public comment pertaining to the proposal.

VAPE SHOP: A retail establishment which offers the sale or distribution of vapes, vaporizers, vape

Section 11.102 defines tobacco products in the following manner:
ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE OR E -CIGARETTE: Any electronically operated device which may or may not
contain nicotine in a combination with other chemicals that are intended to be inhaled as a vapor via

medical purposes, and is being marketed and sold solely for that approved purpose.
TOBACCO AND RELATED PRODUCTS: For purposes of this chapter and for section 23.603 of this code,
tobacco and related products shall include any substance containing tobacco leaf, including, but not
limited to, cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, snuff, chewing tobacco, dipping tobacco, and dissolvable

Exhibit A
Standards and Findings of Fact
Section 14.204(D) -Text Amendment Standards
Text Amendments: When a text amendment is proposed, the planning and zoning commission shall
make findings based upon the evidence presented to it in each specific case with respect to, but not
Limited to, the following matters:
1) The degree to which the proposed amendment has general applicability within the Village at large
and not intended to benefit specific property.
2) The consistency of the proposed amendment with the objectives of this chapter and the intent of
the applicable zoning district regulations.
3) The degree to which the proposed amendment would create nonconformity.
4) The degree to which the proposed amendment would make this chapter more permissive.
5) The consistency of the proposed amendment with the comprehensive plan.
6) The degree to which the proposed amendment is consistent with village policy as established in
previous rulings on petitioners involving similar circumstances.
Staff's Findings:
The proposed changes are applicable to the Village at large and will not benefit a specific property. The
amendments will support the Zoning Ordinance purpose, which is to protect and promote the health,
safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare of residents of the Village, by curbing sales of tobacco
products to underage consumers. The existing tobacco establishments that were established by right
will be allowed to continue as existing nonconforming uses unless the ownership changes, the location
changes, or the use is discontinued for more than six months. The amendments are intended to make
the chapter more restrictive for tobacco -related uses. The proposed changes reflect current Village
objectives as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan and is consistent with Village policy as established in
previous rulings on tobacco uses. Staff finds that the amendments satisfy the standards as required in
Section 14.204(D) of the zoning code.

PETITIONER: Village of Mount Prospect
PUBLICATION DATE: September 25, 2024
REQUEST: Text Amendments Chapter 14 of the Village Code
(Tobacco Establishments)
MEMBERS PRESENT: William Beattie
Ewa Weir
Walter Szymczak
Greg Miller
Richard Rogers
MEMBERS ABSENT: Joseph Donnelly
Donald Olsen
STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT: Charles Hogan — Development Planner
Antonia Lalagos — Development Planner
INTERESTED PARTIES: Village of Mount Prospect
Chairman Beattie called the meeting to order at 7:06 PM. Commissioner Miller made a motion seconded
by Commissioner Szymczak to approve the minutes from the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting
on September 12, 2024. The minutes were approved 3-0 (Commissioners Miller and Rogers abstained).
After hearing one item of new business, Chairman Beattie introduced case number PZ -13-24 for text
amendments to the Village code.
Ms. Lalagos stated that Village staff is proposing text amendments for sections of the Village Code
pertaining to tobacco and vape uses. She explained that the goal of the proposed code revision is to
increase scrutiny of tobacco establishments in order to deter business owners from engaging in criminal
activity and to further curb illegal sales of tobacco products to persons under twenty one (21) years of
age. Ms. Lalagos noted that the staff report includes information about proposed changes in Chapter 14,
Chapter 11, and Appendix A, but the Planning and Zoning Commission discussion will focus on Chapter
14, which is the zoning code.
Ms. Lalagos reviewed the current and proposed zoning land use table for tobacco uses. She noted that
tobacco product sales and consumption as a primary use would no longer be permitted by right in any
zoning district in the Village. Ms. Lalagos stated that tobacco shops would be a conditional use in B-3, B-
4, B-5, and B -5C zoning districts, and vape shops would be a conditional use in B-3 and B-4 zoning
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting — October 10, 2024 PZ -13-24
districts. She explained that establishments that sell tobacco products as an accessory use, such as
grocery stores and gas stations, would not be subject to conditional use approval unless otherwise
noted in the land use tables.
Ms. Lalagos reiterated that the Planning and Zoning Commission is not providing recommendations on
the changes to Chapters 11 and Appendix A. She noted that Chapter 11 and Appendix A will be
presented to the Village Board along with Chapter 14 changes on November 6th
Ms. Lalagos asserted that the proposed text amendments meet the standards contained in Section
14.203(D) of the Zoning Ordinance and requested that the Planning and Zoning Commission make a
motion to adopt staff's findings as the findings of the Planning and Zoning Commission and recommend
approval of the following motion:
"To adopt the text amendments to Chapter 14 of the Mount Prospect Village Code."
Ms. Lalagos stated that the Village Board's decision is final for this case.
Chairman Beattie confirmed that the P&Z Commission was only making a recommendation with respect
to Chapter 14. He asked if tobacco uses were currently allowed in any other district besides B3, B4, B5,
and B5C.
Ms. Lalagos responded that tobacco uses are not permitted in B1, B2, or any industrial zoning district.
Chairman Beattie asked if existing tobacco and vape shops would need to apply for conditional use
approval.
Ms. Lalagos stated that existing tobacco and vape shops would be permitted to continue as an existing
nonconforming use. She explained that if the business changes location or is sold to another owner then
it would need to obtain conditional use approval.
Chairman Beattie asked how many tobacco shops exist now as permitted uses.
Ms. Lalagos stated there are ten tobacco shops and two tobacco lounges. She added that most of the
tobacco shops also sell vape products.
Chairman Beattie asked if the existing tobacco shops wanted to operate for the next 50 years they could
continue operating as they exist today.
Ms. Lalagos replied yes. She reported that if the existing tobacco shops violated any provisions of
Chapter 11 as it is written today, they could have their license revoked. Ms. Lalagos explained that the
proposed text amendments are an additional step to ensure that shop owners are practicing their
business legally.
Chairman Beattie asked if new tobacco establishments would have to come before the Planning and
Zoning Commission and the Village Board.
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting — October 10, 2024 PZ -13-24
Ms. Lalagos confirmed that a new establishment would have to come before the board to determine if it
was an appropriate land use in that location, and in addition it would have to qualify for the business
license with a background check and reference letters.
Chairman Beattie observed that these changes raise the bar for these types of businesses to open in the
future.
Ms. Lalagos confirmed that the changes make it more restrictive.
Hearing no further comments or questions, Chairman Beattie closed the hearing and asked for a motion.
Commission Miller made a motion seconded by Commissioner Szymczak to approve the following
motion:
"To adopt the text amendments to Chapter 14 of the Mount Prospect Village Code."
UPON ROLL CALL AYES: Szymczak, Weir, Beattie, Miller, Rogers
NAYS: None
The Planning and Zoning Commission gave a positive recommendation (5-0) to the Village Board.
Chairman Beattie asked if there were any citizens to be heard.
Hearing no further discussion, Commissioner Miller made a motion seconded by Commissioner
Szymczak and the meeting was adjourned at 7:36 PM.
