CALL TO ORDER BY THE CHAIRMAN Chairman Jarrett called the meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission to order at 7:30 p.m. II. ROLL CALL AND DECLARATION OF A QUORUM Commissioners Present: LeMieux, Hofstra, Luedtke, Hasler, Shlensky, Romano and Chairman Jarrett Commissioners Absent: Jackson, Calvert Staff/Liaison Present: Community & Economic Development Deputy Director Michelle House. A Quorum was present. III. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Commissioner Shlensky moved to approve the minutes from June 12, 2025, as presented. The Motion was seconded by Commissioner Hofstra. On roll call: AYES: Commissioners LeMieux, Hofstra, Luedtke, Hasler, Shlensky, Romano and Chairman Jarrett (7) NAYS: None (0) The motion carried. IV. New Business a. PZ-25-09-10 S. Charles – Zoning Map Amendment Petitioner: Jesus and Estela Unzueta. Michelle House summarized that the Petitioner is requesting a Zoning Map Amendment to change the zoning district from Mixed Use Transitional (MX-T) District to Residential Single Dwelling (RS-7.5) District. The lot is currently zoned Mixed Use Transitional (MX-T) and is used as a single dwelling home. The Petitioners would like to change the zoning to the Residential Single-Dwelling (RS-7.5) district to allow for the building of a garage on the property. If the zoning district Page 2 of 32 were to change to RS-7.5, the existing house with modifications completed in 2023 would still be compliant with all building regulations for RS-7.5. Commissioner Hofstra asked if the garage was already there. Estela replied that the garage would be demolished. Commissioner LeMieux asked for clarification on the lots. There is 016 and 014 are there two lots? Estela said yes, she also owns the lots next door, 100 and 101. 013 is not part of the property. Commissioner LeMieux stated that 016 extends all the way back to 013. Chairman Jarrett explains that the dotted lines are a previous subdivision. Commissioner Romano asked why it was zoned this way. Was it originally zoned with the properties on Saint Charles? Michelle House responded that at that time the Squair lot would provide a more buildable space with parking. Now it would make more sense to change it to a single-family property because that was what it is presently being used for. Jason Jarrett said this was what they thought it would be used as when the zoning was done. Commissioner Luedtke asked if Michelle could explain why a garage is not allowed in MX-T. Michelle explained accessory structure has a max area in MX-T of 100 sq feet and setbacks would require a zoning variation. Commissioner Luedtke said that does not make sense and wanted to know where that would be highlighted. He wanted to know if it would be within article four. He sees that a single-family home would be allowed within MX-T. He asks to see if this aligns within the TIFF. Chairman Jarrett stated in the comprehensive plan the areas are not identified as any opportunity sites. Commissioner Luedtke said it was highlighted as an opportunity site on the TIFF presentation. Highlighted as document N. Why can’t we get a couple of variations on this site to leave it as MX-T. He doesn’t see that you cannot have an accessory structure. Michelle House informed that it has a minimum setback butting an RS or RD district. Commissioner Hasler wanted to know if they were building on a slab of the old existing garage. On the same location. Estela said it was moving to the back corner. Page 3 of 32 Commissioner Shlensky said that we could recommend changes if the petitioner would like to keep it within the MX-T zoning. Chairman Jarrett said prior to MX-T it was C-2 that had been commercial zoning. The house predates the ordinance. Commissioner Hasler asks if it makes more sense to ask for the variance or keep it zoned as it is. Chairman Jarrett asks if there is a way we can repackage as variation due to the recentness of the comprehensive plan and have it in the next hearing. Michelle House said yes, we could, and staff would be OK with that. Estella asked if we were leaving it as a mixed use what are the benefits to the Village and what are the benefits as a petitioner. Chaiman Jarrett said the advantage to the petitioner would be as mixed use it might be worth more money. As a redeveloper you could, if you wanted to, redevelop the other properties and you would not have to rezone it. Estel asked if she would get any TIFF benefits. Chairman Jarrett said no for the house but if a redeveloper applied, they may be eligible. Commissioner Shlensky stated that the board generally approves of the concept of the garage but if they can wait and come back to the August meeting, they are looking good to be approved. They can come back with staff to present the variation petition. Chairman Jarrett said if we can continue this item as a variance and the applicant wishes to withdraw the rezoning item they can. Estel agreed that she would like to investigate doing that. Chairman Jarrett said he would entertain a motion to continue item PZ2509 to a date certain of August 14, 2025, is there a motion? MOTION Commissioner Shlensky makes the motion to continue. On roll call: AYES: LeMieux, Hofstra, Luedtke, Hasler, Shlensky, Romano and Chairman Jarrett (7) NAYS: None (0) The motion is continued. Page 4 of 32 V. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS Chairman Jarrett wanted to mention about the proposal that was presented at the most recent Village Board Meeting including breaking up the planning and zoning commission into a new plan commission and a new zoning commission. On that proposal there would be new appointments. None of the current commissions were to be appointed. Chairman Jarrett sent an e- mail to Kevin Patrick and Michael Rivas and he read the e-mail.

Meeting Adjourned at 8:10 p.m. Page 5 of 32 Subject: Proposed Ordinance Restructuring Planning and Zoning Gommission President Patrick, Manager Rivas, and Village Trustees, At the most recent Village Board meeting, I used the public comment period to ask that you reconsider the proposed ordinance dissolving the Planning and Zoning Commission. As the time allotted limited my ability to explain my concerns in detail, I would like to share my reasoning more fully with you. As chairman of the commission since July of 2019, I believe the institutional knowledge and combined expertise that the nine member commission holds will be instrumental in helping our village move forward during this time of transition. I have long advocated for a more active short and medium term planning role for our commission. lf the current administration has the political will to encourage staff in that direction, I have no doubt that the commission will rise to the challenge. Beyond my personal belief that our commission is well-positioned to carry the vision of the recently adopted comprehensive plan into the future, thirty years of experience as a professional planner has shown me that there are a number of practical, procedural, and structural issues with the proposed commission restructuring. The proposed separation of the planning and zoning functions of the commission will il lnject uncertainty, inconsistency, and inefficiency into the review process il lncrease the workload of staff fJ lncrease the cost and time burden on residents, developers, and property owners. Attached below is a more detailed list I've drafted outlining general best practices, along with potential impacts on residents, staff, developers, and property owners. lf you would like to discuss this matter further, I welcome the opportunity to speak with you in person or by phone. My cell number is 312.547.9300. Thank you for your consideration, Jason Jarrett, AICP Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission Page 6 of 32 General lmpacts and Best Practices Enhanced coordination between planning and zoning functions leads to a more comprehensive review of proposals, ensuring that recommendations are made with a better understanding of long term goals and avoiding conflicts befween separate commissions. A combined commission allows members to develop a deeper understanding of both planning and zoning principles, through training and experience! leading to more informed and consistent recommendations over time. A single point of contact and unified process for planning and zoning matters makes it easier for citizens to understand and participate in a process that is already complicated for many to understand. A combined commission can better monitor trends in development, planning, and zoning, enabling them to make timely recommendations for policy and legislative changes. These trends often ebb and flow, which can lead to difficulty filling the agendas of separate commisions in smaller communities or during less active periods. The requirements of planning and zoning bodies are complicated and constantly evolving, requiring regular training of both new and longstanding commission members. Separating commissions increases the time and resources required to ensure both bodies function properly. Commissions making recommendations on land use proposals generally must hold public hearings on the rnatter, including due process requirements of notiee, evidence, witness testimony, and cross examination. The separation of commissions and their responsibilities as defined under the proposed ordinance, particularly the informal review of development proposals by the plan commission, raises potential legal questions and, at a minimum, blurs the line between the proper role of both commissions. lmpacts on Staff Separation of planning and zoning functions leads to increased expenditure in both time and resources for staff, including requiring the Community Development team to attend multiple meetings and prepare multiple sets of minutes, agendas, and reports. lmpacts on Developers/Property Owners Since 2018, Villa Park has worked to make the development approval process clearer and more efficient. The separation of planning and zoning functions will lead to increased cost and approval time for developers and property owners by requiring multiple meetings. Page 7 of 32 It is not unusual for complex projects to require two or three meetings before a combined body. Separating the functions runs the risk of doubling the number of meetings, potentially costing a developer or property owner thousands of additional dollars in professionalfees and carrying costs on the property. Developers and property owners prefer to avoid uncertainty. Separate commissions and multiple recommendations, with the possibility of conflicting recommendations or conditions of approval, inject uncertainty into the process. The separation of planning and zoning functions, as proposed, leads to additional lack of clarity when relief is required for separate applications from both commissions. Should a developer or property owner first apply for necessary zoning relief from the zoning board or a plat of subdivision from the plan commission? Which commission will hear which matter first and how may the initial recommendation impact the outcome of the other commission's recommendation? A separate plan commission may attempt to weigh in on matters outside of its area of review, such as business models or specific design elements, which may be wholly inappropriate. A combined commission with experience limits the likelihood of such conversations.

Charles Avenue | Zoning Map Amendment PETITIONER OWNER Jesus and Estela Unzueta Jesus and Estela Unzueta 115 W. Main St. 115 W. Main St. Bensenville, IL 60106 Bensenville, IL 60106 Request Summary The Petitioner is requesting a Zoning Map Amendment to change the zoning district from the Mixed Use Transitional (MX-T) District to Residential Single-Dwelling (RS-7.5) District. Background The lot is currently zoned Mixed Use Transitional (MX-T) and is used as a single dwelling home. The Petitioners would like to change the zoning to the Residential Single-Dwelling (RS-7.5) district to allow for the building of a garage on the property. If the zoning district were to change to RS-7.5, the existing house with modifications completed in 2023 would still be compliant with all building regulations for RS-7.5. Site Information Present Zoning: Mixed Use Transitional MX-T Present Land Use: Residential Property Size: 9,004.2 sq. ft. / 0.21 acres PIN: 06-10-101-016 Surrounding Zoning Surrounding Land Use North: Mixed Use Transitional MX-T Commercial West: Mixed Use Transitional MX-T Commercial East: Mixed Use Transitional MX-T Commercial South: Residential Single Dwelling- RS-7.5 Residential Comprehensive Plan Designation Mixed Use- Mixed-use areas combine distinct functions, such as offices, shops, and homes, within the same building or development. These developments often have retail stores and restaurants on the ground floor to create an active and engaging pedestrian environment, with residential or other service-based activities above. Mixed-use developments should be targeted near the Uptown District, along the St. Charles Road Corridor, and the Old Town District to increase density. Mixed-use areas provide more amenities and higher residential density than single-use areas while creating a vibrant, safe, and attractive pedestrian environment. Single Dwelling- Single-dwelling residential areas are neighborhoods where each lot contains one dwelling unit, which can be a standalone house or attached units like townhomes and duplexes. These areas encompass carefully planned subdivisions and older, established neighborhoods exhibiting classic neighborhood layouts. Single-dwelling homes are the most common form of residential property in the Village and most likely will remain so. Page 9 of 32 Zoning Request The Petitioner is requesting a Zoning Map Amendment to change from Mixed Use Transitional (MX-T) to Residential Single-Dwelling (RS-7.5) Internal Staff Review Zoning Map Amendment The Zoning Ordinance specifically allows for the Village Board, the Community Development Director, or the owner of the subject property to request a Zoning Map Amendment. MX-T The MX-T district is intended to accommodate low- to mid-scaled office and/or residential buildings transitioning between mixed-use shopping nodes and residential uses. The building form defines compact buildings with entrances, windows, and interior uses facing the primary corridor. Parking is intended to be internal to the building; located in the rear of the lot, screened from the primary street with the building; or located in the side yard, limited in width and orientation. RS-7.5 The RS-7.5 district is primarily intended to accommodate detached houses on lots with an area of at least 7,500 square feet. Site Plan Review The existing home would still meet all the required building standards if the zoning district were to change to RS- 7.5 • Lot Coverage o Required: 60% o Existing: 42.21%, including the proposed garage • Front Setback o Required: 30.0 ft. o Existing: 30.5 ft. • Interior Side Setback o Required: 6.0 ft. o Existing: 10.5 ft. • Rear Setback o Required: 40.0 ft. o Existing: 58.0 ft. • Building Height o Required: 28.0 ft. o Existing: 26.8 ft. Notification Legal Notice was published in the Daily Herald on June 23, 2025, a sign placed on the subject property, and notifications sent to property owners within a 250.0 foot radius of the subject property in advance of the Public Hearing. 2 Page 10 of 32 Staff Recommendation Village staff have reviewed the petition and are in support of the request.

Madison Avenue | Variation PETITIONER OWNER Richard J. Barnes Jr. Tegan and Ryan Nudd 331 S. Ardmore Avenue 5 W. Madison Avenue Villa Park, IL 60181 Villa Park, IL 60181 Request Summary The Petitioner is seeking a Variation from Section 9.2.2, Allowed Fence Heights and Locations to permit a 5.0-foot tall open style fence in the front yard, instead of a 4.0-foot tall fence. This would continue an existing fence line in the side and rear yard of the property. The Petitioner is seeking a Variation to permit a fence with a maximum height of 5.0 feet in the front yard of a corner lot. Background The property is located on a corner lot and fence will be located in the front yard of the property. With the orientation of the house facing W. Madison St, the technical front yard on Ardmore Ave is the largest useable space. The property has an existing fence in the rear and side yard with a permitted height of 5.0 feet. This new fence would continue the existing fence line into the front yard, creating a larger usable yard space for the residents. This fence would not impact any required visibility triangles. Site Information Present Zoning: Residential Single Dwelling- RS-7.5 Present Land Use: Residential Property Size: 8,125 sq. ft. / 0.19 acres PINs: 06-16-204-034 Surrounding Zoning Surrounding Land Use North: Residential Single Dwelling- RS-7.5 Residential West: Residential Single Dwelling- RS-7.5 Residential East: Residential Single Dwelling- RS-7.5 Residential South: Residential Single Dwelling- RS-7.5 Residential Comprehensive Plan Designation – Residential Single-dwelling residential areas are neighborhoods where each lot contains one dwelling unit, which can be a standalone house or attached units like townhomes and duplexes. These areas should encompass carefully planned subdivisions and older, established neighborhoods exhibiting classic neighborhood layouts. Single- dwelling homes are the most common form of residential property in the Village and most likely will remain so. Zoning Request The Petitioner is seeking a Variation from Section 9.2.2, Allowed Fence Heights and Locations to permit a 5.0-foot tall, open style fence in the front yard, instead of 4.0-foot tall fence. Page 17 of 32 Internal Staff Review Variation The Zoning Ordinance specifically allows for Variation petitions in order to grant relief to a property owner from strict compliance with the regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. Variations are intended to help alleviate a practical difficulty or particular hardship that would be caused by the literal enforcement of the subject ordinance requirements and are site specific. Due to the orientation of the house, the largest yard area is the technical front yard. The house currently has 15.0 feet for a rear yard and around 8.0 feet for a side yard. Without the approval of this variation request, the petitioners would not have space for their dogs and children to play because the other yard areas are too small. Site Plan Review 1. Building and Structure Location - The following comments relate to the issue of building and structure location in regard to the proposed development plans: a. The proposed fence height is 5.0-foot tall. The fence will be an open, iron style fence. b. The proposed fence is in compliance with the required style featuring an open style fence for a front yard and is not obstructing any visibility triangles. 2. Lot Coverage - The following comments relate to the issue of lot coverage in regard to the proposed development plans: a. The fence would not add any additional impervious surface to the lot. 3. Completeness - If the Planning and Zoning Commission requires additional information to determine whether the applicant’s development requests comply with the applicable standards of the Code, they may direct the Petitioner to furnish additional information and evidence that may provide clarity regarding their concerns. Findings Per Sec. 11.5.6.8. The Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation must be accompanied by specific findings of fact regarding whether practical difficulties or particular hardships would result if a Variation is not granted. The Petitioner has submitted the following justification for a Variation from Article 6, Section 6.10.2, Table 6-2 of the Zoning Ordinance: A. State the particular hardship and/or practical difficulty created for you in carrying out the strict letter of the zoning regulations to wit: The current zoning described “front yard” is not the actual front yard of the property as it was constructed prior to current zoning code adoption. House location and lot zoning are not compatible. Yard space for activities, other than accessing the house and garage, is located in the zoning front yard. B. A reasonable return or use of your property is not possible under the existing regulations because: It is not reasonable to fence the portion of the property allowed by zoning to contain large breed dogs and children. This would only be allowed in separated smaller areas in the actual front yard of the property. A 5-ft high, more than 85% open fence is proposed. This will allow visual access to be maintained. Something 4-ft high solid fence or higher planting (hedgerow) would not. C. Your situation is unique (not applicable in other properties in the area or zoning classification) in the following respect: Existing zoning and current house placement on a corner lot is nonconforming usable yard space for family enjoyment is located east of the house. Other homes do not fence their front yards to allow dogs 2 Page 18 of 32  and children to play. This house/property has 15’ behind as a “rear yard”. D. The variation will not alter the essential character of the locality, impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property; not increase hazard from fire; not impair property values in the neighborhood; not unduly increase congestion in the streets, or otherwise impair public safety; health and convenience because: The proposed 5-ft high ornamental open fence allows for sightlines, light, and air flow to be maintained. Fence material is aluminum-noncombustible. The east line of the fence is planned to be held out of the “traffic corner sight line” and 4-ft off of the public sidewalk for planting buffer. The fence is aesthetically pleasing and will match the current fence on the property. Notification Legal Notice was published in the Daily Herald on July 24, 2025, a sign placed on the subject property, and notifications sent to property owners within a 250.0 foot radius of the subject property in advance of the Public Hearing. Staff Recommendation Village staff have reviewed the petition and are in support of the request. Sample Motion To recommend approval of PZ-25-11 for a Variation from Section 9.2.2, Allowed Fence Heights and Locations to permit a 5.0-ft tall open style fence in the front yard, at 5 W Madison Ave, as depicted in exhibit A and B.

Charles Avenue | Variation PETITIONER OWNER Jesus and Estela Unzueta Jesus and Estela Unzueta 115 W. Main St. 115 W. Main St. Bensenville, IL 60106 Bensenville, IL 60106 Request Summary The Petitioner is requesting a Variation to allow for a garage to be built in the Mixed Use Transitional (MX-T) District to accompany the single dwelling unit. The Petitioner is requesting variations from section 4.4.3-General Building to permit a rear yard setback of 5.0-ft instead of 40.0-ft., from section 4.4.3-General Building to permit a garage entrance not on the rear façade, and section 6.10.3-Nonresidential Accessory Structures to permit a rear and interior side yard setback of 5.0-ft instead of 10.0-ft. Background The lot is currently zoned Mixed Use Transitional (MX-T) and is used as a single dwelling home. The Petitioners would like to build a new garage on the property. If the house were located in RS-7.5, the existing house with modifications completed in 2023 would be compliant with all building regulations for RS-7.5. The proposed garage complies with regulations typical for a single dwelling unit, but requires Variations due to the location in the MX-T district. Site Information Present Zoning: Mixed Use Transitional MX-T Present Land Use: Residential Property Size: 9,004.2 sq. ft. / 0.21 acres PIN: 06-10-101-016 Surrounding Zoning Surrounding Land Use North: Mixed Use Transitional MX-T Commercial West: Mixed Use Transitional MX-T Commercial East: Mixed Use Transitional MX-T Commercial South: Residential Single Dwelling- RS-7.5 Residential Comprehensive Plan Designation Mixed Use- Mixed-use areas combine distinct functions, such as offices, shops, and homes, within the same building or development. These developments often have retail stores and restaurants on the ground floor to create an active and engaging pedestrian environment, with residential or other service-based activities above. Mixed-use developments should be targeted near the Uptown District, along the St. Charles Road Corridor, and the Old Town District to increase density. Mixed-use areas provide more amenities and higher residential density than single-use areas while creating a vibrant, safe, and attractive pedestrian environment. Page 24 of 32 Zoning Request The Petitioner is requesting a variation from section 4.4.3- General Building to permit a rear yard setback of 5.0-ft instead of 40.0-ft., a variation from section 4.4.3- General Building to permit a garage entrance not on the rear façade, and a variation from section 6.10.3- Nonresidential Accessory Structures to permit a rear and interior side yard setback of 5.0-ft instead of 10.0-ft. Internal Staff Review Variation The Zoning Ordinance specifically allows for Variation petitions in order to grant relief to a property owner from strict compliance with the regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. Variations are intended to help alleviate a practical difficulty or particular hardship that would be caused by the literal enforcement of the subject ordinance requirements and are site specific. The setback regulations for the MX-T district are geared towards larger scale mixed use buildings. Based on the zoning codes, it seems that single-family construction was not the intended building type in this district. Site Plan Review 1. Building and Structure Location - The following comments relate to the issue of building and structure location in regard to the proposed development plans: a. The proposed garage would have an area of 576.0 sq ft. The size of the garage may not exceed 75% of the area of the primary structure, which for this lot, would be 882.75 sq ft. b. The proposed garage would have a height of 26.8 ft. The maximum height permitted is 28.0 ft. c. The proposed garage would have rear and interior side setbacks of 5.0 ft. 2. Building scale - The following comments relate to the issue of building scale in regard to the proposed development plans: a. No comments in regards to scale. 3. Lot Coverage - The following comments relate to the issue of lot coverage in regard to the proposed development plans: a. With the new garage, the lot coverage would be 42.2%. Maximum lot coverage for MX-T is 70%. 4. Completeness - If the Planning and Zoning Commission requires additional information to determine whether the applicant’s development requests comply with the applicable standards of the Code, they may direct the Petitioner to furnish additional information and evidence that may provide clarity regarding their concerns. Findings Per Sec. 11.5.6.8. The Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation must be accompanied by specific findings of fact regarding whether practical difficulties or particular hardships would result if a Variation is not granted. The Petitioner has submitted the following justification for a Variation from Article 6, Section 6.10.2, Table 6-2 of the Zoning Ordinance: A. State the particular hardship and/or practical difficulty created for you in carrying out the strict letter of the zoning regulations to wit: This is a single family home and it has always been a single family, without the variance we would not be able to have a garage. The current garage is not structurally sound and needs to be demolished. B. A reasonable return or use of your property is not possible under the existing regulations because: We would not be able to have a garage. C. Your situation is unique (not applicable in other properties in the area or zoning classification) in the following respect: 2 Page 25 of 32  If the property were not abutting a residential district, we wouldn’t need a 40’ feet rear yard setback, a rear façade entrance is not feasible. D. The variation will not alter the essential character of the locality, impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property; not increase hazard from fire; not impair property values in the neighborhood; not unduly increase congestion in the streets, or otherwise impair public safety; health and convenience because: It is already a single family and the use will not change. Notification Legal Notice was published in the Daily Herald on July 24, 2025, a sign placed on the subject property, and notifications sent to property owners within a 250.0 foot radius of the subject property in advance of the Public Hearing. Staff Recommendation Village staff have reviewed the petition and are in support of the request. Sample Motion To recommend approval of PZ-25-09 for a variation from section 4.4.3-General Building to permit a rear yard setback of 5.0-ft instead of 40.0-ft., a variation from section 4.4.3-General Building to permit a garage entrance not on the rear façade, and a variation from section 6.10.3-Nonresidential Accessory Structures to permit a rear and interior side yard setback of 5.0-ft instead of 10.0-ft.
