# Will County Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting October 20, 2026

The Will County Planning and Zoning Commission’s regular meeting on October 20, 2026, considered zoning variances and special-use permits; no procurement, contract awards, purchasing decisions, or budget allocations were identified. The commission approved variances for an existing solar site to increase ground-cover height from 13 to 36 inches and reduce required mowing from five times to twice yearly; a residential property setback reduction from 30 to 10 feet; and an 8-foot security fence for a trucking business. It also approved special-use requests for a landscaping storage yard, a New Lenox restaurant’s similar-compatible use involving liquor sales and video gaming, and an after-school wrestling training facility, with conditions discussed for the latter applications. The landscaping-yard request drew objections from neighbors and staff had recommended denial, but the commission approved it. The commission also approved prior meeting minutes. No broader policy or procurement decisions were made.
