Planning & Zoning Meeting for July 20th, 2026

The City of DeKalb, Illinois Planning & Zoning Commission held a meeting on July 20, 2026, primarily to consider a special use permit petition by Adrian Cordova. The petition sought approval to add an additional dwelling unit above the ground floor at 332-336 East Lincoln Highway, despite the lot size being less than the normally required 1,500 square feet per dwelling unit. The commission discussed the proposal, including access and egress requirements for the new apartment unit, parking availability for tenants, and compliance with building codes. After deliberation, the commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the special use permit to the city council. No other procurement or budget matters were addressed during the meeting.
