JOLIET, IL Joliet s zoning board of appeals, in a unanimous vote Thursday afternoon, rejected the MorningStar Mission s plan to convert Joliet s Quality Inn at 135 South Larkin Ave. into an emergency homeless shelter.
In order for the homeless shelter project to happen, MorningStar Mission needs a rezoning variance and a special use permit from the Joliet City Council. The zoning board s decision is only a recommendation. The City Council has the final say on the project.
