City of Joliet Plan Commission Meeting, August 20, 2026

The City of Joliet Plan Commission held a meeting on August 20, 2026, focusing primarily on land development and infrastructure projects. Key procurement-related discussions included approval recommendations for the final planned unit development of New Stonehire Phase 2, involving 147 single-family lots with associated public improvements and landscaping. The commission also reviewed multiple petitions related to the Eastgate Logistics Park development, including vacation and dedication of roadways and utility easements to facilitate construction of a closed-loop truck network with bridges over the Union Pacific Railroad and Illinois Route 53. These infrastructure projects are tied to industrial subdivision developments by TCIH Land Holdings LLC, with conditions on occupancy permits linked to completion of critical bridge infrastructure. The commission approved several motions recommending city council approval for these plats, dedications, and special use permits, emphasizing compliance with watershed protection ordinances and stormwater management plans. Public comments raised concerns about property rights, environmental impacts, and construction timelines, which were addressed by staff and petitioners. No new business or non-agenda items were presented for final action.
