SUBMITTED BY: Sara Kopinski, AICP
BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered DEV-0067-2025 on August 6, 2025, and voted to recommend approval of the petitioner's requests (approved 6-0). Staff concurs.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property consists of approximately 12.18 acres located at 1151 E. Warrenville Road and is undergoing redevelopment into a residential community with 64 townhomes known as the Northwoods of Naperville.
The subject property is a flag lot, with minimal frontage or visibility along Warrenville Road, and is accessible via a shared private road through the adjacent property. Due the property's limited visibility along Warrenville Road, signage for the property has been provided in a signage and landscape easement (recorded as Document Number R2015-038322) platted on the adjacent property at 1203 Warrenville Road to provide adequate site identification to passersby.
The petitioner has confirmed that the signage and landscape easement continues with any successor in interest and proposes updating the existing sign (previously used to identify the Illinois Health and Hospital Association) to identify the Northwoods of Naperville.
