City of Joliet ZBA Meeting April June 18, 2026

The City of Joliet Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) held a meeting on June 18, 2026, primarily focused on public hearings regarding zoning petitions. The board considered three companion cases involving a special use permit and multiple variations to allow construction of a two-unit duplex on a vacant lot zoned R2 single-family residential. The requests included reductions in front and side yard setbacks, lot width, and lot area. After staff presented the report supporting the requests, the board voted to approve the variations, the special use permit, and the variation of use. These approvals will now be forwarded to the City Council for final consideration. No other procurement or budget matters were discussed during the meeting.
