ZHO - AUGUST 26, 2026

The DuPage County Zoning Hearing Officer meeting held on August 26, 2026, primarily focused on public hearings related to zoning petitions involving property use variations. Key discussions included a petition to reduce setback requirements for an existing chicken coop and run, where the petitioner sought a variance due to practical constraints related to yard layout and neighborhood aesthetics. Neighbors provided both supportive and concerned testimony regarding the impact of the coop on the community. Another petition involved a conditional use request and setback variation for an existing swimming pool and deck, with the petitioner explaining the circumstances and safety considerations. The hearing officer took the matters under advisement and indicated that written recommendations would be issued subsequently. No direct procurement, contracting, or budgetary decisions were made during this meeting.
