SUBMITTED BY: Sara Kopinski, AICP
ENTITLEMENTS REQUESTED:
1. Approve a variance from Section 6-16-4:2 to allow a sign to be used for residential purposes to exceed permissible allowances and measure approximately 41.75 sq. ft in size and 10 ft. in height;
2. Approve a temporary use to permit temporary marketing signage on the subject property, in accordance with the temporary signage package submitted to the City (City Council review only).
BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
Official notice for the public hearing for DEV-0067-2025 was published in the Naperville Sun on Sunday, July 20, 2025.
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 sixty-four (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.
