ITEM SUMMARY:
Raised Bakery & Café was awarded the City’s Retail-Restaurant Grant in an amount not to exceed $10,000
on December 16, 2019. The Grantee, Yolanda Peterson, began the build-out of the space at 124 Main
Street in early 2020 but had some personal and construction setbacks that stalled the project. The City
Council formalized approval of the grant and extended the timeline on April 3, 2023 via Resolution 2023-
R-0036. Since then, the City Council extended the grant on April 1, 2024 via Resolution 2024-R-0034 and
again on October 7, 2024 via Resolution 24-R-0073 to accommodate the continuation of the project.
The business has received the Certificate of Occupancy but has not yet passed the Health Department
inspection required to open. Pursuant to the terms in the Agreement, the Grantee is requesting an
amendment to accommodate the opening of the bakery by December 31, 2024. As a reminder, Raised
Bakery and Café will be a full-service retail bakery and café, offering a selection of menu items including
baked goods and gourmet coffees, as well as a full breakfast and lunch menu.
Staff continues to support this request, as Raised Bakery and Café will be a desirable retail business and
café, which will generate additional traffic within the downtown. The opening of Raised Bakery and Café
will increase local tax revenues and support opportunities for new businesses, along with retention and
expansion of existing businesses, in the downtown area.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Consideration of Resolution 24-R-0094 authorizing the Mayor to execute a third amendment to the Retail-
Restaurant Grant Program Agreement in an amount not to exceed $10,000.00 for the build-out of Raised
Bakery & Café at 124 Main Street.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This item did not go to a Committee.

Them # 9.A,
ORDINANCE NO. 24-0-0036
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY
OF WEST CHICAGO - ALCOHOL SALES AT GAS STATIONS
WHEREAS, the City of West Chicago has had a long-standing policy of not allowing any
additional Class C-4 Liquor Licenses as detailed in the City Code; and
WHEREAS, this policy is evidenced by the reduction of Class C-4 Liquor Licenses from three to
one over the last twenty-two years as gas stations closed and/or changed hands; and
WHEREAS, several local merchants who operate gas stations with convenience stores have
requested that the City of West Chicago consider changing this policy to level the playing field with the
one gas station in town that has maintained its liquor license over time as well as with other convenience
stores in the area; and
WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed information provided by the Western DuPage Chamber of
Commerce and City staff and has indicated its willingness to consider allowing additional Class C-4 liquor
licenses in West Chicago, with additional regulations in place; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, in recognition of the impact of a change to the current C-4 liquor
license terms to the only existing License Holder, deems it appropriate to defer the application of the new
license restrictions to this License Holder until July 1, 2025. Said deferral will permit said License Holder
an opportunity to deplete any stocked products acquired in reliance on the previously existing license terms.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, by the City Council of the City of West Chicago,
DuPage County, Illinois, in regular session assembled as follows:
SECTION 1. That Sec. 3-10(c). of the Code or Ordinances of the City of West Chicago titled
“Classifications” is hereby deleted in its entirety as it relates to Class C-4 Liquor Licenses and the following
language shall replace it:
“Sec. 3-10. — Classifications.
Class C-4 license authorizes the retail sale, on the premises specified, of beer and wine in its original
individual package, not for consumption on the premises. To qualify for a Class C-4 license, the
premises must be primarily used as a gas station and have a convenience store associated with it of
at least three thousand five hundred (3,500) square feet in size. The following additional
requirements apply to all Class C-4 licenses:
(1) The floor area devoted to beer and wine sales within the convenience store shall not
exceed more than fifteen percent (15%) of the total retail sales area and shall be in a
segregated area, approved by the local liquor control commissioner, so designed to be
separate, distinct and visible by an employee working behind the counter where
transactions occur;
(2) Beer shall only be sold in packages containing quantities of six (6) or more cans or
bottles; sales of individual bottles or cans is strictly prohibited.

(3) Wine shall not be sold in containers less than 750 ml; and
(4) Each transaction for the sale of alcoholic liquor shall be with point-of-sale equipment
that shall scan the identification of the customer as to verify age.”
SECTION 2. That Sec. 3-12(d) of the Code or Ordinances of the City of West Chicago titled
“Record Number of Licenses” as it relates to not allowing the number of Class C-4 licenses to increase is
hereby deleted in its entirety.
SECTION 3. That all ordinances and resolutions, or parts thereof, in conflict with the provisions
of this Ordinance are, to the extent of such conflict, expressly repealed.
SECTION 4. The holder of the one existing Class C-4 Liquor License at the time of the passage
of this Ordinance shall be provided a deferral for compliance with the new terms until July 1, 2025.
Effective July 1, 2025, said License Holder shall fully comply with all terms and conditions set forth in the
then existing C-4 license requirements.
