Ken Zomparelli, president of Innovative Decks, 6926 W. 183rd St., received a favorable recommendation for the rezoning, from residential to business, from plan commissioners two weeks ago.
Trustees also delayed action on a special-use permit and variation allowing a gazebo to be displayed at the front of the business.
Zomparelli’s business, which makes gazebos and similar structures, was annexed in 1992. Although the front gazebo violated zoning, Innovative Decks was allowed to keep it under a grandfather clause because it was an existing company.
Zomparelli said he learned only recently that the clause applied only to the original gazebo, not to replacements.
