ZHO - OCTOBER 7, 2026

DuPage County zoning hearing, October 7, 2026: The hearing considered zoning-variation requests, with no procurement activity identified. In the Lopez matter, the petitioner sought to reduce the rear-yard setback for a proposed 16-by-11-foot shed from 20 feet to 7 feet at a three-flat property. The petitioner cited the need for storage and limited parking space; the Tri-State Fire District had filed an objection concerning firewalls. The hearing officer took the request under advisement. An earlier petition concerning a sunroom’s rear-yard setback was also addressed procedurally after the hearing officer reviewed a trust certificate; no testimony was heard on that matter.

The hearing also considered Northwestern Medicine Marian Hill Rehabilitation Hospital’s sign-variance requests, including an increase in total permitted sign-copy area for four monument signs from 50 to approximately 118 square feet. The applicants said the signs would identify the institutions sharing the campus and were consistent with a prior approval for the other campus corner. The hearing officer took the request under advisement and planned to issue a recommendation at the October 21 session. No spending decisions, contract actions, or procurement votes were reported.
