BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
Naper Commons consists of approximately 65 acres located at the northwest corner of Naperville Road and Warrenville Road. On July 20, 2021, the City Council approved the final subdivision plats and the final PUD plat for the project.

The petitioner is currently displaying one code compliant construction sign on the property. However, due to the high speed of traffic on Naper Boulevard, the petitioner has found that the sign's visibility is limited. As such, the petitioner has requested to replace the existing construction sign with a new sign that is 80 sf in size and 13' in height. The proposed sign will remain on display until the development is completed as is permitted by Code.
Per Section 6-2-11 (Temporary Buildings, Structures and Uses of Land), the City Council has the authority to grant the temporary use of a building, structure, or use of land that does not conform to the regulations prescribed in Title 6 for the zoning district in which it is located.
