BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
Official notice for the public hearing for PZC 19-1-121 was published in the Daily Herald on Monday, February 3, 2020. Public notices with a conceptual site plan were mailed to all property owners within 300' of the proposed property lines as shown on the preliminary/final plat of subdivision, and a sign was posted at the facility's main entrance.

The subject property is the site of the Springbrook Water Reclamation Facility commonly known as 3712 Plainfield-Naperville Road.

The main facility was annexed to the City of Naperville pursuant to Ordinance No. 90-115, and Ordinance No. 90-116 granted a conditional use for public utilities. It is the site of a waste water treatment facility and associated appurtenances.
The petitioner, the City of Naperville, intends to construct a one megawatt solar array per City Council's adopted Resolution #19-399.

This new installation partially located on the main facility and the unincorporated lot will provide an opportunity to showcase a project that emphasizes the city's continued commitment to sustainability and renewable energy.
