Planning & Zoning Commission - August 4, 2026

The Village of Roselle Planning & Zoning Commission held a meeting on August 4, 2026, primarily to consider a special use permit (PZ261161) for a drive-through Dunkin' Donuts at 403 North Roselle Road. The property, formerly a gas station, is being redeveloped with support from a TIF agreement and grant funding for accessibility improvements. The petitioner presented plans for a 1,600 square foot building with a drive-through, adequate parking, and landscaping meeting zoning requirements. A traffic study indicated a slight increase in traffic that would not significantly impact the intersection's level of service, with access limited to right-in, right-out turns to enhance safety. Public comments raised concerns about traffic volume, safety, and the lack of a traffic signal at the intersection, but village staff and commissioners noted that the intersection does not currently meet criteria for signal installation. The commission voted to approve the findings of fact and recommended approval of the special use permit to the village board. Additional discussion included recent approval of a new sign code and plans for future code updates.
