Restaurants are net permitted in our M-1 and M-2 (Industrial) Zoning Districts. A limited. $uivey developed that such use is permitted by Deg Plaines, Arlington Heights and Palatine. Mount Prospect does not psrmit such uoe. It would appear that restauran i�adilities, located within the Indu9trial Park, to serve the ever increasing number of employees working there is a logical permitted use for the M-1 and M-2 categories, As the Zoning Ordinance now exists, the only way a restaurant could be }odated within the Industrial Park is by rezoning the required land to the B-1 or B-2 classification. Such rezoning would include other uses which are incompatible with M-1 and M-2 useal I recommend. (1) that the Village Attorney be instructed to draft an oiddinance permitting such use in the M-1 and M-2 Distriots; tirith the stipulation that liquor may be sold only in conjunction with the serving of foodJ2) that the opinion of the Industrial Park Association be solicitedi 2.
