Planning and Zoning Commission - 10/1/26

The Peoria Planning and Zoning Commission met on October 1, 2026, and approved the prior meeting minutes. The commission recommended approval with staff conditions for several land-use applications: 24 apartments at Alta Road and Juliet Court with a density waiver (City Council consideration October 13); a 38-unit assisted-living facility in an existing building (October 27); MacArthur Senior Flats, a proposed 48-unit affordable senior housing project with an estimated $12.5 million investment and requested code waivers (October 13); a rooftop sign at 3125–3127 North University Street (October 27); and EV chargers at 424 North Western Avenue and 1818 West Callender Avenue (October 27). These were commission recommendations, not final City Council approvals.

Staff also presented a proposed Unified Development Code amendment concerning drive-throughs at medical and adult-use cannabis dispensaries. The proposal would require a special-use amendment for a drive-through; the transcript ends before the commission’s action is recorded. A proposed radio tower at Glen Plaza was introduced, but the supplied transcript does not include its deliberation or outcome. No procurement activity, contract awards, or purchasing decisions were identified.
