SUBMITTED BY: Kathleen Russell, Community Planner
BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
The Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) considered PZC #21-1-002 on March 17, 2021. The Commission voted 8-0 to approve the rezoning. Staff concurs.
BACKGROUND:
Located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Woodlawn Avenue and Julian Street, the subject property has a common address of 806 S. Julian Street. The .53-acre property is currently improved with a single-family residence, detached garage and accessory structure, and is zoned R-4 in unincorporated DuPage County. The property is adjacent to unincorporated properties to the south and west and incorporated properties to the north and east. The surrounding incorporated properties are zoned R1A (Low Density Single Family Residence District) and R1 (Low Density Single Family Residence District).
DISCUSSION:
The Petitioner, Mathieson House, LLC, d/b/a M House, on behalf of the owners Simon Frisch and Mona Gandhi, requests annexation and rezoning to R1 upon annexation. The Petitioner intends to demolish the existing residence and build a new single-family residence.
Annexation and Rezoning
The subject property is contiguous to the City's current municipal boundaries and therefore is eligible for annexation. Upon annexation, the Petitioner seeks to rezone the subject property to R1 (Low Density Single Family Residence District). The subject property meets the R1 lot size and width requirements. Staff finds the proposed R1 zoning to be compatible with surrounding zoning districts. The Petitioner's standards for Granting a Map Amendment are included in the attachments. Upon review, staff agrees with the Petitioner's findings and recommends their adoption by the City Council.
