DuPage County Zoning Board of Appeals, 6/25/26

The DuPage County Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on June 25, 2026, to consider a conditional use request and multiple zoning variances for NGHC Inc. The proposal involves developing a group home, a greenhouse with accessory retail and wholesale crop sales, and an accessory dwelling unit on a 1.14-acre property. The petitioner requested variances to increase the allowable size and height of detached accessory buildings, increase the number of occupants from five to twelve, and allow an accessory dwelling unit larger than typically permitted. The project aims to support disabled residents with housing, staffing, and vocational opportunities, including collaboration with the nonprofit Little Friends. The petitioner presented detailed exhibits, including surveys, photographs, and a slide deck outlining the project's purpose and compliance with local zoning codes. The board took no immediate vote but set the matter for a recommendation session on June 30, 2026. No public opposition was noted, and the petitioner emphasized prior investments and permits obtained for the project.
