Board to consider an ordinance approving a Zoning Ordinance special use permit to JA RE Enterprises, LLC, d/b/a Lit Smokes (Applicant/Tenant) for the property at 101 West Ogden Avenue, Suite B, Westmont, Illinois for a tobacco and vape retail store in the B-2 General Business District. [If the special use is approved] Board to consider an ordinance increasing the number of available Class B tobacco licenses by one for JA RE Enterprises, LLC d/b/a LIT SMOKES. Background of Subject Matter The property and building were recently consolidated, improved, and renovated to accommodate the operation of a cannabis dispensary and separate bakery with a drive-through. However, due to difficulties in obtaining the necessary approvals from non-Village agencies for the menu of the bakery, the petitioner has decided to instead request to operate a tobacco and vape retail store. Although the petitioner initially wanted to use the drive-thru window to sell non-tobacco and non-vape products, the petitioner has now withdrawn this proposal, and it will not utilize the drive-thru window at all. The petitioner will keep the existing drive drive-thru improvements in place for the potential use of a future tenant. On January 8, 2026 the Board agreed to reconsider it's previous denial on December 11, 2025 of the special use permit request. The requester was unable to attend the December 11, 2025 meeting due to an emergency. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of the special use permit request (6-0, one vacancy) at its meeting on November 12, 2025. No one from the public spoke. Additional Background The petitioner plans to open a tobacco and vape retail store at 101 W Ogden Ave, separate from the cannabis dispensary. The store will operate daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM with 3–5 employees, matching the dispensary's hours. The existing drive-through will be retained but used only for non-tobacco sales; all tobacco/vape products would be sold in-store to verify ID as required by State statute. | attachments=3
