City of Joliet ZBA Meeting April Aug 20, 2026

The City of Joliet Zoning Board of Appeals held a meeting on August 20, 2026, to review several special use permits and zoning variances. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a special use permit for Will County Habitat for Humanity Restore to park four box trucks at 1395 Lin Avenue for deliveries and rentals, and a special use permit for W&B Service Company to operate a semi-trailer sales, service, and repair facility at 1720 Workers Court. Both permits were recommended for approval with specific conditions, including limitations on parking and operational restrictions. Additionally, a special use permit was recommended for approval for an automobile service station and accessory car wash at the northeast corner of Route 59 and Theodore Street, with conditions addressing landscaping, building permits, and potential revocation if declared a public nuisance. Several zoning variances were also approved, including conversions of residential properties and setback reductions for accessory structures. The board emphasized compliance with building permits and city codes for all approved items. All special use permits will proceed to the City Council for final approval.
