2026 -04-20 Village of Lisle Committee of the Whole

The Village of Lisle Committee of the Whole meeting on April 20, 2026, focused primarily on zoning regulations concerning data centers within the village. Staff recommended amending the zoning code to remove data centers as a permitted use in industrial zones, reflecting community concerns about environmental impacts, energy and water usage, and proximity to residential areas. Trustees discussed the implications of prohibiting data centers, noting potential impacts on municipal finance and future development opportunities. The board agreed to proceed with preparing a text amendment to prohibit data centers, with the understanding that developers could still seek text amendments for specific proposals and that future state legislation might influence local regulations. The next step involves a public hearing process with the planning and zoning commission.
