FMC Natatorium Grant Request - 2025 World Cup Board to consider a motion awarding a Hotel/Motel Grant in the amount of $83,202.46 to the FMC Natatorium for the World Aquatic World Cup event. Background of Subject Matter The World Cup event brought over 660 participants and support staff, including some from around the world, into Westmont, for several days resulting in direct business sales to the region of over $1.5 million, with an estimated $900,000 sales to our local businesses, including lodging, transportation, retail, recreation, business services, and food/beverage. Additional Background In late 2024 the Village approved an agreement with DuPage County to award grants to FMC, of which $50,000 would be reimbursed by the County, with the understanding that the Village would match our own $50,000. Under the authority of that agreement, we have awarded grants for a few previous events, totaling $70,000. Now that this grant would exceed the portion covered under the previously approved agreement, the Village Board will take action to approve the grants. This first one is included in New Business, with future approvals being listed on the consent agenda. The initial budget for 2026 includes only $50,000, but the Village can utilize hotel/motel tax reserves for the amounts in excess of the budget. Recommendation Type Motion Budgeted d. 306 N Cass Ave - Multi-Unit Building - Various Zoning Entitlements Board to consider an ordinance approving requests from Compagno LLC (Petitioner), and 2 W Naperville Road, LLC (owner), for the property at 306 North Cass Avenue, Westmont, Illinois, 60559, for the following: 1. Preliminary Plan of Subdivision to consolidate five (5) lots into one (1) lot 2. Zoning Ordinance Variance to the minimum front yard setback in the R- 4 General Residential District 3. Zoning Ordinance Variance to the minimum lot area per dwelling unit in the R-4 General Residential District 4. Zoning Ordinance Variance to the minimum outdoor open space in the R-4 General Residential District 5. Major Site Plan 6. Zoning Ordinance Map Amendment to rezone three (3) of the five (5) total parcels of the subject property from R-3 Single-Unit Residential District to R-4 General Residential District so that all parcels in the proposed development are uniformly zoned. Background of Subject Matter The petitioner is seeking approval for a development at 306 North Cass Avenue (vacant), proposing the construction of a three-story, twelve-unit residential apartment building with an approximate footprint of 5,983 square feet and a height of 34.5 feet (not including the parapet and mechanical equipment). The exterior of the proposed building elevation will utilize a combination of stone siding and hardie panel material. Additional Background The project requires several zoning entitlements, including consolidation of lots, rezonings, variances, and major site plan approval. The requested variances include a reduction to the minimum front yard setback (20 feet proposed where 25 feet is required), a variance to allow twelve dwelling units where eight are permitted by right, and a reduction to the minimum outdoor open space requirement (2,270 sqft proposed instead of 3,000 sqft). Recommendation The Commission recommended approval of the requests (5–0, with one member absent and one vacancy), with the exception of the major site plan, which was recommended for approval with conditions by a vote of 4–1 (one absent and one vacancy). The conditions are as follows: that the patio and balcony railings be uniform throughout the development; that landscaping may be installed in lieu of fencing in front of the building; that the northern solid fence be extended eastward to the front of the house directly to the north; and that the underlayment of the balconies on the east façade be obscured from view. Type Ordinance Budgeted e. Zoning Ordinance Maintenance Text Amendments Board to consider an ordinance approving a request from the Village of Westmont regarding maintenance Zoning Ordinance text amendments to Chapter 95 – Zoning, of the Code of Ordinances, for miscellaneous modifications to grammar and formatting, as well as amendments to definitions, use permissions, development standards, planning processes, and other zoning regulations. Background of Subject Matter The Village approved comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Ordinance in August 2025. As outlined during the approval process, staff committed to conducting a six-month review of the new regulations. Having now applied the amendments in real-world scenarios, staff has prepared recommended adjustments based on that evaluation. Additional Background Moving forward, staff will continue to review and revise the regulations on an annual basis to ensure they remain effective and responsive to community needs. Recommendation The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing on this request at a special meeting on February 4, 2026. The Commission unanimously recommended approval of the text amendment. Type Ordinance Budgeted f. Regulations for E-Bikes, E-Scooters, and Other E-Moto Devices Board to consider an ordinance amending Chapter 1 and Chapter 78 of the Westmont Code of Ordinances to adopt definitions and regulations for E- bikes, E-scooters, and other electric mobility devices. Background of Subject Matter Chapter 78, Art. XIII, currently regulates the operation, parking, etc. of bicycles. With the rise of e-bikes, e-scooters, and other electric mobility devices, the Westmont Police Department has determined that amendments to Chapter 78 are needed to regulate such devices. The amendments prohibit E-motos, electric personal mobility devices, electric skateboards, electric unicycles, high-speed electric bicycles, high-speed electric scooters, and other similar electric mobility devices on all village streets, rights-of-way and village property. The amendments regulate the use of bicycles, low- speed electric bicycles, and low-speed scooters. Additional Background The State regulations of electric mobility devices have not kept pace with the rapidly changing technology, and the regulation of these devices has fallen on individual municipalities. The proposed regulations are consistent with regulations adopted by surrounding communities, many of which also ban higher speed electric mobility devices. Amendments are also proposed to Chapter 1 to allow administrative adjudications of Chapter 78, Art. XIII. Recommendation Approve Type Ordinance Budgeted g. Exercise of Option Year 2- Cyclic Parkway Tree Pruning Board to consider an ordinance authorizing the Village to exercise the second option year of the contract with Winkler Services, LLC for the Cyclic Parkway Tree Pruning Program. Background of Subject Matter On November 2, 2023 the Village Board awarded a contract to Winkler Services, LLC for the Cyclic Parkway Tree Pruning Program for the 2023- 2024 fiscal year. This program included parkway tree pruning in the neighborhood bound by 55th/Quincy and Cass/Williams, as well as the Sycamore Run subdivision. Approximately 900 trees were pruned. In December of 2024 the Village awarded the first option year of that contract. Approximately 1575 trees were pruned. Additional Background The original contract was for the 2023-2024 fiscal year with five one-year options to extend. Staff negotiated option year 2 pricing at a 3% increase; not to exceed the budgeted amount of $120,000.00. Recommendation Approve Type Ordinance Budgeted Yes h. Telecommunications Text Amendment and Reduction Board to consider an ordinance amending Chapters 74 and 77 of the Village Code of Ordinances to provide for a Simplified Municipal Telecommunications Tax and reduce the total tax. Background of Subject Matter This reduces the total telecommunications tax from 6% to 5%, per the Fiscal Year 2026 budget discussions. Additional Background This also updates the Village Code of Ordinances to reflect the current state regulations allowing for a simplified municipal telecommunications tax rather than locally imposed and collected telecommunications taxes and infrastructure maintenance fees. Recommendation Approve Type Ordinance Budgeted Yes i. Telecommunications Tax Reduction Board to consider an ordinance changing the Simplified Municipal Telecommunications Tax from 6% to 5%. Background of Subject Matter This is the ordinance required by the State of Illinois to reduce the amount of tax they collect and remit to the Village.

FMC Natatorium Grant Request - 2025 World Cup Board to consider a motion awarding a Hotel/Motel Grant in the amount of $83,202.46 to the FMC Natatorium for the World Aquatic World Cup event. Background of Subject Matter The World Cup event brought over 660 participants and support staff, including some from around the world, into Westmont, for several days resulting in direct business sales to the region of over $1.5 million, with an estimated $900,000 sales to our local businesses, including lodging, transportation, retail, recreation, business services, and food/beverage. Additional Background In late 2024 the Village approved an agreement with DuPage County to Page 4 of 114 award grants to FMC, of which $50,000 would be reimbursed by the County, with the understanding that the Village would match our own $50,000. Under the authority of that agreement, we have awarded grants for a few previous events, totaling $70,000. Now that this grant would exceed the portion covered under the previously approved agreement, the Village Board will take action to approve the grants. This first one is included in New Business, with future approvals being listed on the consent agenda. The initial budget for 2026 includes only $50,000, but the Village can utilize hotel/motel tax reserves for the amounts in excess of the budget. Recommendation Type Motion Budgeted d. 306 N Cass Ave - Multi-Unit Building - Various Zoning Entitlements Board to consider an ordinance approving requests from Compagno LLC (Petitioner), and 2 W Naperville Road, LLC (owner), for the property at 306 North Cass Avenue, Westmont, Illinois, 60559, for the following: 1. Preliminary Plan of Subdivision to consolidate five (5) lots into one (1) lot 2. Zoning Ordinance Variance to the minimum front yard setback in the R- 4 General Residential District 3. Zoning Ordinance Variance to the minimum lot area per dwelling unit in the R-4 General Residential District 4. Zoning Ordinance Variance to the minimum outdoor open space in the R-4 General Residential District 5. Major Site Plan 6. Zoning Ordinance Map Amendment to rezone three (3) of the five (5) total parcels of the subject property from R-3 Single-Unit Residential District to R-4 General Residential District so that all parcels in the proposed development are uniformly zoned. Background of Subject Matter The petitioner is seeking approval for a development at 306 North Cass Avenue (vacant), proposing the construction of a three-story, twelve-unit residential apartment building with an approximate footprint of 5,983 square feet and a height of 34.5 feet (not including the parapet and mechanical equipment). The exterior of the proposed building elevation will utilize a combination of stone siding and hardie panel material. Additional Background The project requires several zoning entitlements, including consolidation of lots, rezonings, variances, and major site plan approval. The requested variances include a reduction to the minimum front yard setback (20 feet proposed where 25 feet is required), a variance to allow twelve dwelling units where eight are permitted by right, and a reduction to the minimum Page 5 of 114 outdoor open space requirement (2,270 sqft proposed instead of 3,000 sqft). Recommendation The Commission recommended approval of the requests (5–0, with one member absent and one vacancy), with the exception of the major site plan, which was recommended for approval with conditions by a vote of 4–1 (one absent and one vacancy). The conditions are as follows: that the patio and balcony railings be uniform throughout the development; that landscaping may be installed in lieu of fencing in front of the building; that the northern solid fence be extended eastward to the front of the house directly to the north; and that the underlayment of the balconies on the east façade be obscured from view. Type Ordinance Budgeted e. Zoning Ordinance Maintenance Text Amendments Board to consider an ordinance approving a request from the Village of Westmont regarding maintenance Zoning Ordinance text amendments to Chapter 95 – Zoning, of the Code of Ordinances, for miscellaneous modifications to grammar and formatting, as well as amendments to definitions, use permissions, development standards, planning processes, and other zoning regulations. Background of Subject Matter The Village approved comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Ordinance in August 2025. As outlined during the approval process, staff committed to conducting a six-month review of the new regulations. Having now applied the amendments in real-world scenarios, staff has prepared recommended adjustments based on that evaluation. Additional Background Moving forward, staff will continue to review and revise the regulations on an annual basis to ensure they remain effective and responsive to community needs. Recommendation The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing on this request at a special meeting on February 4, 2026. The Commission unanimously recommended approval of the text amendment. Type Ordinance Budgeted f. Regulations for E-Bikes, E-Scooters, and Other E-Moto Devices Board to consider an ordinance amending Chapter 1 and Chapter 78 of the Westmont Code of Ordinances to adopt definitions and regulations for E- bikes, E-scooters, and other electric mobility devices. Page 6 of 114 Background of Subject Matter Chapter 78, Art. XIII, currently regulates the operation, parking, etc. of bicycles. With the rise of e-bikes, e-scooters, and other electric mobility devices, the Westmont Police Department has determined that amendments to Chapter 78 are needed to regulate such devices. The amendments prohibit E-motos, electric personal mobility devices, electric skateboards, electric unicycles, high-speed electric bicycles, high-speed electric scooters, and other similar electric mobility devices on all village streets, rights-of-way and village property. The amendments regulate the use of bicycles, low- speed electric bicycles, and low-speed scooters. Additional Background The State regulations of electric mobility devices have not kept pace with the rapidly changing technology, and the regulation of these devices has fallen on individual municipalities. The proposed regulations are consistent with regulations adopted by surrounding communities, many of which also ban higher speed electric mobility devices. Amendments are also proposed to Chapter 1 to allow administrative adjudications of Chapter 78, Art. XIII. Recommendation Approve Type Ordinance Budgeted g. Exercise of Option Year 2- Cyclic Parkway Tree Pruning Board to consider an ordinance authorizing the Village to exercise the second option year of the contract with Winkler Services, LLC for the Cyclic Parkway Tree Pruning Program. Background of Subject Matter On November 2, 2023 the Village Board awarded a contract to Winkler Services, LLC for the Cyclic Parkway Tree Pruning Program for the 2023- 2024 fiscal year. This program included parkway tree pruning in the neighborhood bound by 55th/Quincy and Cass/Williams, as well as the Sycamore Run subdivision. Approximately 900 trees were pruned. In December of 2024 the Village awarded the first option year of that contract. Approximately 1575 trees were pruned. Additional Background The original contract was for the 2023-2024 fiscal year with five one-year options to extend. Staff negotiated option year 2 pricing at a 3% increase; not to exceed the budgeted amount of $120,000.00. Recommendation Approve Type Ordinance Page 7 of 114 Budgeted Yes h. Telecommunications Text Amendment and Reduction Board to consider an ordinance amending Chapters 74 and 77 of the Village Code of Ordinances to provide for a Simplified Municipal Telecommunications Tax and reduce the total tax. Background of Subject Matter This reduces the total telecommunications tax from 6% to 5%, per the Fiscal Year 2026 budget discussions. Additional Background This also updates the Village Code of Ordinances to reflect the current state regulations allowing for a simplified municipal telecommunications tax rather than locally imposed and collected telecommunications taxes and infrastructure maintenance fees. Recommendation Approve Type Ordinance Budgeted Yes i. Telecommunications Tax Reduction Board to consider an ordinance changing the Simplified Municipal Telecommunications Tax from 6% to 5%. Background of Subject Matter This is the ordinance required by the State of Illinois to reduce the amount of tax they collect and remit to the Village.

The Commission recommended approval of the requests (5–0, with one member absent and one vacancy), with the exception of the major site plan, which was recommended for approval with conditions by a vote of 4–1 (one absent and one vacancy). The conditions are as follows: that the patio and balcony railings be uniform throughout the development; that landscaping may be installed in lieu of fencing in front of the building; that the northern solid fence be extended eastward to the front of the house directly to the north; and that the underlayment of the balconies on the east façade be obscured from view. I.​ BACKGROUND OF ITEM A.​ Location: 306 North Cass Avenue is located just north of the intersection of Cass Avenue and Naperville Road. It is a part of A.T. McIntosh & Co.’s Fairmont Gardens Resubdivision of Lots 8-27, which was recorded in 1922. The property is currently split between five lots/parcels, for a total area of 0.475 acres, or roughly 20,670 square feet. Two lots front Cass Avenue, while the other three are the rear 34 feet of lots fronting North Lincoln Street. Based on aerial images, it appears that these five lots were used for one single-family home. The home was demolished by 2010, and the property has been vacant since.

Along Cass Avenue, the subject property transitions from Downtown Westmont to the south into a myriad of housing types to the north. Additionally, the subject property buffers the established detached home neighborhood to the west from Cass Avenue. A variety of uses surround the property ranging from restaurant, retail, service, and residential related uses. ____________________________________________________________________________________ PZC 016-2025​ ​ Page 2 of 6 Page 45 of 114 Street View - 306 North Cass Avenue (Source: Google Street View) II.​ PETITIONER REQUEST: The Petitioner is seeking approval for a three‑story, twelve‑unit residential building, a project that requires multiple zoning entitlements. As part of the proposal, the Petitioner is requesting a Preliminary Plan of Subdivision to consolidate five existing lots into a single lot. The Petitioner is also seeking several variances from the Zoning Ordinance, including relief from the minimum front yard setback, the minimum lot area per dwelling unit, and the outdoor open space requirement in the R‑4 General Residential District, along with a Major Site Plan review and Zoning Map Amendment request to rezone three of the five parcels from the R‑3 Single‑Unit Residential District to the R‑4 General Residential District to establish consistent zoning under the proposed consolidated lot. III.​ ZONING ANALYSIS A.​ Zoning and Comprehensive Plan Designations The current zoning district of the property is split between R-3 Single-Unit Residential, which primarily allows detached houses, and R-4 General Residential, which allows for many residential types from detached houses to multi-unit buildings, and every type in between. The Comprehensive Plan designates the future land use in this area as Single-Family Attached Residential. This designation finds that housing types like duplexes, townhomes, and rowhomes are appropriate, as they increase residential density near the Downtown and “...serve as a transitional land use between business uses and single family neighborhoods.” Furthermore, the subject property is located within the Naperville & Cass subarea’s Commercial Node. This area is described as being appropriate for prominent commercial development, although it is a tertiary commercial core. The Commercial Node should target “...local retail, restaurant, or service uses that benefit from the visibility of Naperville Road and Cass Avenue. It should also create an environment that is highly accessibly by foot or bicycle from surrounding neighborhoods.” Though the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Plan and the Naperville & Cass subarea plan disagree on the future land use of the property, the proposed multi-unit building is a permitted land use in the R-4 General Residential District. ____________________________________________________________________________________ PZC 016-2025​ ​ Page 3 of 6 Page 46 of 114 B.​ Entitlement Request The petitioner has provided a project narrative and supporting documentation for the following requests. Any corresponding zoning ordinance sections for entitlement approval consideration can be referenced in item V(B). 1.​ Preliminary Plan of Subdivision to consolidate five (5) lots into one (1) lot [Chapter 95 Section 2.05 and Appendix B] The property consists of five underlying lots, all of which are addressed as 306 North Cass Avenue and include the following Parcel Identification Numbers (PINs): 09-04-409-022, 09-04-409-023, 09-04-409-031, 09-04-409-032, and 09-09-204-002. This consolidation is required due to the unified development being proposed. The minimum lot area, lot width, and lot depth requirements are being met with a total area of 20,670 square feet (0.47 acres), a lot width of ~83.5 feet, and average lot depth of 197.25 feet. 2.​ Zoning Ordinance Variance to the minimum front yard setback in the R-4 General Residential District [Chapter 95, Section 2.05] The petitioner is seeking approval to construct a multi‑unit residential building that would encroach into the required front yard setback within the R‑4 General Residential District. The proposed principal structure would sit 20 feet from the front property line, where a 25 foot setback is normally required along Cass Avenue. According to the petitioner, the variance is necessary due to the lot’s unusual shape, which limits placement options while still providing an appropriate buffer from the single‑unit residence to the west and accommodating rear‑yard parking. The petitioner also notes that several neighboring properties to the north and south along Cass Avenue have historically and organically developed within this same reduced front yard setback. 3.​ Zoning Ordinance Variance to the minimum lot area per dwelling unit in the R-4 General Residential District (Density) [Chapter 95, Section 2.05] The petitioner is also seeking approval to include 12 dwelling units within the proposed multi‑unit building. The R‑4 District requires a minimum lot area of 2,500 square feet per dwelling unit. With an approximate lot size of 20,670 square feet, the property could accommodate 8 dwelling units by right. The request for 12 units would reduce the lot area per unit to 1,722.5 square feet and represents an increase of approximately 145% above the maximum permitted density. The petitioner cites the property’s unusual shape, size, and location as justification for the variance, noting that the site is uniquely situated within an area undergoing transition and its relation to the Village’s Downtown. 4.​ Zoning Ordinance Variance to the minimum outdoor open space in the R-4 General Residential District [Chapter 95, Section 2.05] Per Sec 16.06 outdoor open space is defined as “..outdoor private space required per unit must be open air and available specifically for the use of the building occupants.” Additionally, outdoor open space must meet one or a combination of the following: “The space must be attached to the unit in the form of a patio, balcony, or terrace, located in any abutting yard, with a minimum dimension of 6 feet in any direction; or the space must be common space for residents only in the form of one or more of the following: a garden, courtyard, roof deck, or terrace; each with a minimum dimension of 10 feet in any direction. Common space must be accessible and available to all occupants.” ____________________________________________________________________________________ PZC 016-2025​ ​ Page 4 of 6 Page 47 of 114 The petitioner has also requested a relief from the minimum requirement for outdoor open space within the R-4 District. That requires 250 square feet per unit at 12 dwelling units are being proposed which would mean that 3,000 square feet of outdoor open space is required. As proposed, the petitioner has provided each unit with balconies at sizes ranging approximately 82 square feet to 127 square feet for a total of 1,311 square feet in addition to the provided communal open space of approximately 959 square feet courtyard/garden at the east and south of the site. However, due to the required improvements and the required landscaping, a significant portion of this defined area does not constitute as outdoor open space. Overall, the petitioner is providing 2,270 square feet of outdoor open space between the communal area and private balconies, which is approximately 25% less than the minimum requirement. In contrast, the downtown zoning districts (B-1(A) & B-1) only require 50 square feet of outdoor open space per dwelling unit, which is normally achieved through private balconies. The petitioner has cited that the variance is being sought due to the site’s unusual geometry and topographic conditions, which limit feasible placement of the building and associated site elements. These characteristics are inherent to the property and not owner‑created, and they create practical challenges in meeting the minimum usable outdoor open space requirement and that the proposed configuration would align with the established development pattern and serve as an appropriate transition to adjacent zoning districts 5.​ Major Site Plan [Chapter 95 Section 14.05] The Major Site Plan request consists of an overall site plan, elevations of the building, and an accompanying landscape plan. The petitioner has provided a set of plans in addition to a floor plan for each story of the building. The proposed development features a 12-unit residential building with an approximate footprint of 5,983 square feet. Initially stated at 32 feet, the overall building height has been revised by the petitioner to 34.5 feet, which excludes the parapet wall and the penthouse structure containing mechanical equipment. The exterior of the building is proposed to include a combination of stone siding and a hardie panel. Additionally, a six foot high cedar fence will partially enclose the rear and sides of the property with a four foot open metal fence to enclose the communal outdoor area at the front and a portion of the south property line. The Petitioner has provided two other options that allows for separation of the open space area including a 4 foot fence ivy like material or a landscaping hedge. The proposed site also includes a dumpster enclosure consisting of fence and brick materials in the northwest corner of the drive. The proposed parking lot and drive consists of a single 24 foot full access entrance at the north end of the property off of Cass Avenue. The parking lot itself consists of 19 available parking spaces, including an accessible space, where 18 total spaces are required. The property's topography results in a considerable grade change at the southern property line shared by 306 North Cass Avenue and 2 West Naperville Road, a condition previously addressed with a retaining wall. This existing retaining wall appears to be in disrepair. Should the proposal be approved, improvements to this wall will be necessary. Ongoing maintenance must be agreed upon between the property owners, or the wall would need to be entirely constructed and maintained by the owner of 306 North Cass Avenue. The latter option could substantially affect the proposed site plan. This same topography also provides the proposed building with high visibility along Cass avenue when approaching from the north and south and higher quality facade materials are warranted; however, the Village's Commercial Guidelines are being met. ____________________________________________________________________________________ PZC 016-2025​ ​ Page 5 of 6 Page 48 of 114 All other minimum requirements including setbacks and landscaping are being met, other than the variances mentioned prior. 6.​ Zoning Ordinance Map Amendment to rezone three (3) of the five (5) total parcels of the subject property from R-3 Single-Unit Residential District to R-4 General Residential District so that all parcels in the proposed development are uniformly zoned. [Article 2 and Section 14.02] The property located at 306 North Cass Avenue comprises five parcels, but is subject to a split zoning designation. The two front parcels are zoned R-4 (General Residence), while the three rear parcels are zoned R-3 (Single-Unit Residential). A unified zoning district across the entire property is necessary to proceed with a cohesive development. This requirement is supported by the Village Zoning Ordinance (Section 1.12(F)), which prohibits the creation of a single lot and PIN into a split-zoned lot or parcel, and treats the consolidation of properties as a form of subdivision. Furthermore, rezoning is mandated because the proposed use of the property is for a multi-unit residential development, which is exclusively permitted within the R-4 (General Residence) District. Additionally due to the configuration and underlying lot ownership the 3 rear parcels are unlikely to develop on their own without being consolidated into a larger piece of land due to being wholly surrounded by other lots without direct access to a right-of-way.Therefore, the rezoning and consolidation are warranted. IV.​ SUMMARY The Petitioner requests approval for a three‑story, twelve‑unit residential building requiring multiple zoning entitlements, including a Preliminary Plan of Subdivision to consolidate five lots into one lot, several variances from the Zoning Ordinance, a Major Site Plan, and a a Zoning Map Amendment that would rezone three of the five parcels from R‑3 to R‑4, ensuring consistent zoning across the full development site if consolidated.

Cass Avenue, Westmont, Illinois. Variance Requests: Request for variances for a proposed 3-story, 12-unit multi-family building on the subject property as follows: (1) variance to the minimum front yard setback in the R-4 General Residential District, (2) variance to the minimum lot area per dwelling in the R-4 General Residential District, and (3) variance to the minimum outdoor open space in the R-4 General Residential District. (Note: The findings for each criteria below apply equally to all 3 variance requests, and therefore there is 1 combined Findings of Fact for all 3 variance requests.) (1) Particular Hardship or Practical Difficulty The applicant must demonstrate that requiring strict compliance with the regulation for which a variance is sought would create a particular hardship or a practical difficulty. FINDINGS: The Applicant would suffer a significant hardship if it had to strictly comply with the minimum front yard setback, the minimum lot area per dwelling, and the minimum outdoor open space requirements. First, the lot is irregularly shaped in the form of a trapezoid, which poses unique challenges for development since the lot is not rectangular like virtually all lots within the Village. Additionally, the lot has a significant grade change/slope from north to south, which poses additional, unique challenges to development. The Applicant is complying with all setbacks, except for the front yard setback. The proposed 20’ front yard setback is consistent with front yard setbacks of other properties along Cass Avenue in the immediate area to the north and south. Applicant is providing a compliant drive aisle, and Applicant is exceeding the off-street parking requirements. Applicant is complying with the requirements for minimum lot area, minimum lot width, minimum lot depth, maximum building height, landscaping, and garbage/dumpster enclosure. By placing the off-street parking in the rear yard of the lot, the Applicant has provided a significant buffer to the single unit residences to the immediate west of the lot. Unlike the properties to the south along Cass Avenue, this property does not have rear access to a public alley or street. This necessitates an entrance and drive aisle from Cass Avenue, which adversely impacts the ability to provide additional outdoor open space. Page 52 of 114 The number of residential units proposed in comparison to the lot size is reasonable given the above-stated impediments and hardships. The Applicant believes that no multi-family development of the property would be economically feasible with a lesser number of residential units based on strict compliance with all zoning regulations. The fact that the property has remained vacant since 2010 supports this belief, and the property’s size, shape, and topography are not suitable for a single-unit residential development. There is no adjacent property that is available for purchase in order to increase the lot size to accommodate this development without variances. (2) Unique Physical Condition The applicant must demonstrate that the subject property is exceptional as compared to other lots subject to the same provision by reason of a unique physical condition, including presence of an existing use, structure, or sign, whether conforming or nonconforming; irregular or substandard shape or size; exceptional topographical features; or other extraordinary physical conditions peculiar to and inherent in the subject property that amount to more than a mere inconvenience to the owner and that relate to or arise out of the subject lot rather than the personal situation of the current owner of the lot. FINDINGS: The findings for Criteria (1) above are restated as the findings for this Criteria (2). Specifically, the lot is irregularly shaped in the form of a trapezoid, which poses unique challenges for development since the lot is not rectangular like virtually all lots within the Village. Additionally, the lot has a significant grade change/slope from north to south, which poses additional, unique challenges to development. (3) Not Self-Created The applicant must demonstrate that the unique physical condition is not the result of any action or inaction of the owner, or of the owner's predecessors in title and known to the owner before acquisition of the subject property, and existed at the time of the enactment of the provisions from which a variance is sought or was created by natural forces or was the result of governmental action for which no compensation was paid. FINDINGS: The unique physical conditions described above are not the result of any actions or inaction of the Applicant or the current owner, as they are pre-existing conditions. The owner was not aware of the extent of earthwork and grading that would be necessary to develop the property until it began planning this potential development and consulting with a professional engineer. (4) Denied Substantial Rights The applicant must demonstrate that requiring strict compliance with the regulation for which a variance is sought would deprive the subject property owner of substantial rights commonly enjoyed by owners of other lots subject to the same regulation. Page 53 of 114 FINDINGS: Properties to the north and south along Cass Avenue in the immediate area enjoy a 20’ front yard setback, and the Applicant is seeking consistency with those properties. The Village has granted numerous density, setback, and other variances for other multi-family buildings in the nearby area and throughout the Village, recognizing the difficulty in strictly complying with the Village’s regulations while yielding a reasonable return on the investment. The property has remained vacant for 15 years, showing that development of the property in strict compliance with these regulations is not feasible. (5) Not Merely Special Privilege The applicant must demonstrate that the alleged particular hardship or practical difficulty is not merely the inability of the owner or occupant to enjoy some special privilege or additional right not available to owners or occupants of other lots subject to the same provision, nor merely an inability to make more money from use of the subject property. FINDINGS: The Applicant is not seeking to enjoy a special privilege or acquire additional rights by seeking these variances. The variances are necessary due to the unique physical conditions of the property, and the hardship that those physical conditions impose on the development of the property. Most lots in the Village are rectangular in shape, and many lots do not contain the topographical challenges posed by this lot. (6) Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan The applicant must demonstrate that the variance would not result in a use or development of the subject property that would not be in harmony with the general and specific purposes of this zoning ordinance. FINDINGS: The proposed development is consistent with the uses allowed in the underlying R-4 zoning district. The proposed development complies with the spirit, intent, and goals of the Comprehensive Plan. This proposed development serves as an ideal transitional use between the B-1 district and dense commercial development to the south, to the various residential developments to the north, and to the single unit residential developments to the west. (7) Essential Character of the Area The applicant must demonstrate that the variance would not result in a use or development of the subject property that: (a) Would be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development, or value of property or improvements permitted in the vicinity; Page 54 of 114 (b) Would materially impair an adequate supply of light and air to the properties and improvements in the vicinity; (c) Would unduly increase the danger of flooding or fire; (d) Would unduly tax public utilities and facilities in the area; or (e) Would endanger the public health or safety. FINDINGS: The proposed development, with these variances, would not be detrimental to the public welfare. The Applicant is proposing a permitted, residential use that will not unduly strain public services or otherwise affect the public welfare. The proposed development will not adversely impact the use, enjoyment, or value of surrounding properties. This development is a permitted, residential use that complies with most of the zoning regulations and which is appropriately scaled for the property. The development will have upscale features and improvements and sufficient off-street parking. The development is consistent with other multi-family developments in the general area, and it is an appropriate transitional use. The proposed development will not impair light or air to surrounding properties, will not increase the danger of fire or flooding, will not unduly tax public utilities and facilities, and will not otherwise endanger the public health and safety. (8) No Other Remedy The applicant must demonstrate that there is no means other than the requested variance by which the alleged hardship or practical difficulty can be avoided or remedied to a degree sufficient to permit a reasonable use of the subject property. FINDINGS: The reasonable development of the property would not be feasible without these variances given the physical constraints of the lot. Adjoining properties are fully- developed, and there are no adjoining properties available to purchase to increase the size of the lot in order to avoid the need for these variances.

DATE: June 13, 2025 RE: Parking Impact Study Residential Condominium 306 N. Cass Ave Westmont, Illinois This memorandum analyzes the parking demand for the redevelopment of 306 N. Cass Ave. from the residential lot to 12 Unit Residential Condominium in Westmont, Illinois. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of the proposed residential development in the area. Redevelopment Plan The redevelopment site is located at 306 N. Cass Avenue on the Northwest corner of Cass Avenue and E Naperville Road. Property is within 0.5 mi from Westmont Downtown with commuter parking and railroad tracks. Existing lost previously was single family house. The three-story condominium will be constructed to about 17,800 square feet. The proposed outdoor 19 space parking lot is proposed on the West side of the building and will incorporate required VCBMP per Village of Westmont requirements. National Parking Data National parking data for existing and proposed use was reviewed to estimate the parking demand for the site. The Institute of Transportation of Engineers’ (ITE) publication Parking Generation, 10th Edition provides parking survey data for Single Family Detached Housing (0.99 per dwelling unit) and for Multifamily Housing (mid-rise 0.18 trips per unit) within dense multi- use urban area. • Based on single-family detached housing, PM peak hour would generate 0.99 trips. • Proposed multi-family housing would generate 2.16 trips per PM peak hour. Total increase of 1.17 trips per PM peak hour. 515 Warrenville Road, Lisle, Illinois 60532 • (630) 271-0770 • (630) 271-0774 Fax Page 65 of 114 PLACE FOUNDRY DESIGN, LLC.

Planning & Zoning Commission recommendation: The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing on this request at a special meeting on February 4, 2026. The Commission unanimously recommended approval of the text amendment. I.​ BACKGROUND OF ITEM A.​ Background: In August 2025, the Village of Westmont adopted comprehensive text amendments to the Westmont Zoning Ordinance following nearly two years of preparation, including five public hearings. As part of a planned post-adoption review six months later, staff has been compiling necessary maintenance text amendments. These amendments aim to clarify intent, correct formatting and spelling errors, and address unintended exclusions identified since the comprehensive amendments were adopted. Staff anticipates that further maintenance amendments will likely be needed as the new regulations are continually applied and tested in real-world scenarios. B.​ Proposed Chapter 95 - Zoning Structure and Content Summary The following provides an overview of the proposed text amendments. The complete documentation, which includes the precise language (with all additions and deletions), is attached for a detailed review. Article IV Downtown Zoning Districts: Article IV provides detailed regulations tailored to the Village’s distinctive downtown and transition areas, encompassing the B-1(A) Downtown Core, B-1 Downtown Edge, and R-7 Downtown Residential districts. ●​ Sec. 4.07(A)(4): During the public hearing for the comprehensive amendment, the section regulating fleet vehicles was renamed business vehicles. However, this section still states “fleet vehicle storage”, and is proposed to be revised to “business vehicle storage” to be consistent with the rest of the zoning ordinance. Article V Special Purpose Zoning: Article V governs the P/I district, and proposed PUDs, existing PDs, and the existing B-3 District. Page 79 of 114 The proposed revisions are to the language of the PUD section only. ●​ Sec. 5.04(C)(3-4): Grammar revisions are proposed to these subsections, the actual approval procedures are not proposed to be changed. Article VI Principal Uses Article VI regulates and addresses principal uses on private property. It defines land usage within specific zoning districts by listing allowable uses as either permitted or special, or not allowed at all. These uses are classified into groups, categories, and subcategories, with supplemental regulations and special conditions for specific uses. ●​ In Table VI-1, Indoor Other Participant Entertainment is proposed to be added as a special use to the M Manufacturing district. Similar uses currently exist in the M district, although they are primarily operated by the Westmont Park District. Adding this use as a special use recognizes that indoor participant entertainment uses like pickleball and rock climbing centers may be compatible in this zoning district, but allows for scrutiny of the business’ operations to ensure compatibility. ●​ Special condition #6, which is applicable to daycare homes, has three criteria for approval. These are listed as (A), (B), and (B). The second (B) is proposed to be called (C). ●​ Sec. 6.04(M)(2)(c) clarifies the setbacks for off-site nonresidential parking lots (often applicable to new off-site parking lots for religious institutions like the church and mosque on West Irving Street). This reduces the front yard setback from 35 feet to 15 feet and requires 5 foot setbacks from all other property lines. ●​ Sec. 6.04(R)(3): Adds and clarifies screening requirements for vehicle sales and service uses by requiring a 6‑foot opaque fence or wall with evergreen trees to screen vehicles awaiting service and along shared lot lines with R‑zoned districts. Establishes that screening is required only up to front or street yard setbacks, after which fence height must follow underlying zoning limits. ●​ Sec. 6.06(A) sees the last line of the Building Service use category description be removed, as this is the use category description for Industrial Service uses. ●​ Sec. 6.07(H-I) rectifies an error in formatting for Religious Assemblies and Safety Services. Article VII Accessory and Temporary Uses: Article VII regulates accessory and temporary uses including accessory structures and buildings. Accessory uses are generally secondary or subordinate uses, buildings, and structures that occur in conjunction with an allowed principal use. These accessory uses generally regulate the size, location, and design of accessory structures to ensure they complement the principal use and comply with safety and aesthetic standards. ●​ Sec. 7.02(B)(2) clarifies that only the interior side setback in the R-3 district is reduced to 3 feet for accessory buildings, instead of being applicable to both interior and street side yards. This is consistent with the permissions from Appendix A. ●​ Sec. 7.18(F) on Home Occupations omitted the operating hours, which is proposed to be added as 7.18(F)(9) and matches the restriction in Appendix A. (F)(6) also says “an sign”, which will be changed to “a sign”. ●​ Sec. 7.20(B)(3) says “rights-of” when it should say “rights-of-way”. ●​ Sec. 7.23 clarifies that outdoor saunas and related spa equipment are regulated by this section. ____________________________________________________________________________________ PZC 001-2026​ ​ Page 2 of 4 Page 80 of 114 Article IX Parking: Article IX outlines parking regulations. Parking is essential for ensuring accessibility, safety, and convenience for residents, employees, and visitors. By regulating parking spaces, the goal is to meet public needs while minimizing potential negative impacts, such as congestion or aesthetic concerns, on the surrounding area. ●​ Sec. 9.06(B) contains a grammar edit to clarify the clauses within this subsection. Article XI Signs: Article XI establishes minimum standards for signs, recognizing their importance in communication, navigation, and supporting local businesses. These regulations aim to balance effective signage with visual appeal and safety by regulating design, placement, and size to reduce clutter. ●​ Sec. 11.03(G) regulates sandwich board (a.k.a A-frame) signs. This request proposes to rectify omissions from Appendix A and clarify that this type of signage is allowed only on private property (except in the B-1(A) and B-1 districts). ●​ Sec. 11.04(B)(7) contains a typo, as it should say "freestanding signs” instead of “freestanding sign”. ●​ Sec. 11.05(A)(3) allows for new wall signs to have a component of the sign be a cabinet sign, while the majority of the sign still must be made of individual letters. However, the subsections (a), (b), and (c), are not working out as intended. It is proposed to allow the cabinet component to be 20% of the proposed sign’s area instead of being restricted to 20% of the individual letter components of the sign. Additionally, the requirement to prohibit square or rectangular cabinet components is proposed to be removed, as staff does not find this regulation necessary for a small sign component. ●​ Sec. 11.10(B) ensures consistency with Appendix C (the Village’s fee schedule) to not require a fee for temporary sign permits. Article XII General Development Regulations: Article XII provides general development regulations, covering outdoor lighting, underground utilities, street access, outdoor storage of junk and debris, and sight vision triangles. These rules aim to support environmental objectives, improve safety, and maintain the community’s aesthetic and functional quality. ●​ Sec. 12.04 clarifies that the outdoor storage of junk and debris is prohibited unless it is explicitly approved as a Special Use Permit. Article XIV Review and Approval Procedures: Article XIV provides procedures for review and approval, encompassing common processes, map and text amendments, development plans, special uses, site plans, variances, zoning verification letters, and appeals. These guidelines are designed to ensure consistency, transparency, and fairness throughout the review and approval process. At the same time, they protect the rights of property owners and applicants, allowing for equitable consideration and due process in all matters. ●​ Sec. 14.01(L) would be a new subsection on successive applications. The intent of this subsection is to prevent repetitive submissions of the same zoning application for zoning amendments, special uses, and variances. If a request were to be denied, a petitioner ____________________________________________________________________________________ PZC 001-2026​ ​ Page 3 of 4 Page 81 of 114 would have to wait at least one year before requesting the same application. However, if an application were denied and the plans were substantially modified, the application could be submitted since it is not identical to the denied request. This was language applicable to Special Use Permits in Appendix A, and has been expanded to include variances and zoning ordinance text and map amendments. II.​ SUMMARY In August 2025, the Village of Westmont adopted comprehensive text amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. Six months later, staff identified maintenance text amendments needed to clarify intent, correct errors, and address unintended exclusions. Further maintenance is anticipated as the new regulations are applied. III.​ LEGAL A.​ Notification: A legal notice was published in Westmont Suburban Life on January 15, 2026.

PZ-6 Page 84 of 114 Page 85 of 114 PZC Case Number (office use only): PZC 001-2026 Application for Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment Text Amendments are direct changes to the Zoning Ordinance. An example of a text amendment is adding a specific use to one district, which would apply to every property zoned to that district. These amendments may be initiated by the Board of Trustees, Planning & Zoning Commission, the zoning administrator, or a property owner. Proposed Text Amendment Detailed Description Please explain the proposed text amendment. Include any construction plans or other improvements to be made if the amendment is approved. You must indicate the specific sections of the Village’s Zoning Ordinance for which the text amendment is sought. Please consult Village staff for confirmation. On August 7th, 2025, the Village Board of Trustees approved comprehensive amendments to the Village's Zoning Ordinance. Briefly, this repealed Appendix A - Zoning, and established the current zoning ordinance in Chapter 95 - Zoning. These amendments updated zoning districts, development standards, planning processes, bulk regulations, etc. Additionally, the amendments created new zoning districts and new approval procedures. As is the case with comprehensive text amendments in other municipalities in the Greater Chicago Area, a maintenance text amendment is processed within 1 year of adoption. These maintenance amendments target spelling, grammar, and formatting errors, as well as reinserting regulations that were accidentally omitted from the comprehensive amendment. Maintenance amendments are largely clerical edits, but some substantive amendments are proposed. All proposed amendments are attached to this application. TA-1 Page 86 of 114 Village of Westmont - Application for Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment 1.​ Explain how the proposed text amendment is in conformity with the Comprehensive Plan. If the text amendment is specific to a certain zoning district(s), discuss how the amendment may affect any subarea plans. The Comprehensive Plan can be found on the Village’s website under the Community Development page. Maintenance text amendments achieve the Comprehensive Plan's goal to provide high-quality and efficient services. Zoning is an essential municipal service, so even seemingly minor errors in the Zoning Ordinance can be detrimental to its administration and the protection of the public health, safety, and general welfare. 2.​ Explain how the text amendment is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Ordinance (the Village’s Zoning Ordinance can be found on the Village’s website). If the text amendment is specific to a certain zoning district(s), discuss how the amendment is consistent with the district’s purpose statement(s). The proposed text amendments are consistent with the purpose of the Zoning Ordinance, as they will allow Village staff to better administer the regulations. This in turn will protect and promote the public health, safety, and general welfare. This text amendment request also meets zoning ordinance's purpose to implement the goals of the comprehensive plan, as discussed above. 3.​ Explain if the text amendment will correct an error or inconsistency, or if it is necessary or desirable to meet the challenge of a changed or changing condition. Many of the proposed amendments will resolve grammar, spelling, and formatting errors, or resolve inconsistent use of terms such as replacing "fleet vehicle" with "business vehicle". Similarly, some relevant zoning regulations in Appendix A - Zoning did not make their way into Chapter 95 - Zoning, which this text amendment request proposes to rectify.
