2026-04-08 Village of Villa Park Zoning Board of Appeals Commission

The Village of Villa Park Zoning Board of Appeals held a meeting on April 8, 2026, to discuss zoning variations and text amendments. Key procurement-related discussions included a variation request for a gazebo at 160 North Villa Avenue, where the petitioner sought approval for a structure that did not meet the standard setback requirements. The board recommended approval of this variation to the Village Board. Another significant item was a variation request from Albright Middle School at 1110 South Villa Avenue to permit increased illumination levels for parking lot lighting to enhance safety during evening events. The board reviewed photometric plans, public concerns, and staff recommendations, ultimately voting to recommend approval of the lighting variation. The meeting also included procedural matters such as the nomination and election of a vice chair for the Zoning Board of Appeals. No direct contract awards or procurement contracts were discussed, but the lighting project and gazebo permit involve future vendor or contractor engagement upon approval.
