ZBA - August 27, 2026

The DuPage County Zoning Board of Appeals held a meeting on August 27, 2026, primarily to consider proposed text amendments (T6-26) to the county zoning ordinance. These amendments aim to update the ordinance to comply with Illinois Public Act 104-0458, establishing zoning regulations for small wind energy systems, private solar energy systems, commercial wind and solar energy facilities, and energy storage systems. The amendments include permitting private solar and small wind energy systems in all zoning districts with conditions, and designating commercial wind, solar, and energy storage systems as conditional uses in agricultural and industrial zoning districts. After discussion and clarification on voting procedures for remote members, the board unanimously approved the text amendments. The meeting also included acknowledgments of board member transitions and scheduling of the next meeting for September 10, 2026.
