The Village of Villa Park Zoning Board of Appeals held a meeting on August 12, 2026, primarily focused on zoning appeals related to special use permits and variations. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a special use permit for a drive-thru facility at 105 West St. Charles Road for a new coffee shop, with conditions addressing traffic flow and parking lot circulation to mitigate potential congestion and safety concerns.
