East Peoria Zoning Board Meeting | 10/12/26

The East Peoria Zoning Board meeting on October 12, 2026, considered two special-use petitions and a proposed sign-ordinance amendment. The board unanimously recommended approval of a short-term rental at 2305 East [street name unclear in transcript], with a limit of four occupants and two cars parked on the driveway. It also unanimously recommended approval of a ground-mounted solar installation by Tron Solar and the Roth family at 135 East Muller Road, described as approximately 42 panels and 19.6 kW. Both cases were to proceed to City Council. No procurement activity, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified.

The board unanimously approved a proposed change to the sign ordinance allowing changeable-copy signs in B-1 districts by special use, rather than as an automatically permitted use. Members discussed the need to review each location, particularly where B-1 properties are near homes, and noted that the special-use process would allow consideration of placement and neighborhood impacts. The amendment also proceeds to City Council.
