BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
The Planning and Zoning Commission conducted the public hearing regarding DEV-0045-2025 on June 4, 2025, and recommended approval of the petitioners’ request (approved 7-0). Staff concurs.
BACKGROUND:
The property is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Parkside Road and Columbia Street with a common address of 706 Parkside Road. The 18,200 square foot parcel is currently improved with a single-family home and is located in unincorporated DuPage County. The property is contiguous with incorporated property zoned R1B to the east, north, and west, and incorporated property zoned R1A to the south.
DISCUSSION:
The petitioners, Bartlomiej Kosinski and Karolina Kosinski as owners of NexGen Realty Solutions, Inc., the property owner, requests annexation and rezoning to the R1B (Medium Density Single-Family Residence District) in order to construct a new single-family home in the City of Naperville. The subject property is contiguous to the City of Naperville’s corporate limits and is therefore eligible for annexation. The petitioners have not yet submitted building plans but intend to demolish all existing structures at the subject property.
Annexation and Rezoning
Upon annexation, the petitioners seek to rezone the subject property to R1B. The subject property meets the R1B lot size and width requirements. Staff finds the proposed R1B zoning to be compatible with the existing zoning of surrounding properties and consistent with the Land Use Master Plan.
Findings of Fact
The petitioners’ responses to the standards for Granting a Map Amendment are included in the attachments. Upon review, staff agrees with the petitioner’s findings, which were adopted by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
The annexation agreement is included in the attachments and outlines all applicable requirements for the subject property.
Legal Lot of Record
The property is not a legal lot of record and administrative approval of a subdivision plat is required to record the property as such. A plat of subdivision for the subject property shall be recorded prior to issuance of any City building permits.
Platted Setback Deviation
The petitioners propose a platted setback deviation to allow a single-family home to be constructed within the 40-foot building line previously platted through Arthur T. Mcintosh, A.T. & Co’s Naperville Estates (recorded in DuPage County as Document R1927-136013). Section 7-1-13:2 of the Municipal Code allows City Council to grant a deviation from a platted building or setback line if the request is in harmony with the intent and character of the subdivision and complies with the required standards. If the requested platted setback deviation is approved, the home will be permitted to be built at or behind the R1B 15-foot corner side yard setback.
The 40-foot platted building line runs north to south near the center of the property and is significantly more restrictive than the R1B zoning district 15-foot corner yard setback identified in Section 6-6C-7 (Yard Requirements) of the Code. Although the petitioners have not yet provided plans for the location of a new single-family home on the property, the location of the 40-foot building line would essentially inhibit future single-family home construction on this property if adhered to. As the platted building line is more restrictive than the zoning setback and a future residence would comply with the underlying R1B zoning requirements, staff supports the requested deviation.
Findings of Fact
The petitioners’ responses to the Standards for Granting a Subdivision Deviation can be found in the attachments. Upon review, staff agrees with the petitioners’ findings and recommends their adoption by the City Council.
