Salem Planning Commission to consider new special use for former Paradise Flowers Shop

By Bruce Kropp Jan 17, 2023 | 1:28 PM

The Salem Planning Commission Tuesday night will consider a new special use that could then be considered for the vacant Paradise Flower Shop at 730 North Broadway.

The special use would be for a property management office.  The company would have to be licensed through the State of Illinois and utilize a site that has been used exclusively for commercial uses during the past 20 years.  The same sign regulations as a home occupation would apply.

City officials note they have turned down several other retail proposals for the building because they did not feel it blended with a residential neighborhood.

The meeting begins at six Tuesday night at Salem City Hall.
