 were expected. The Petitioner stated that construction would commence upon
 approval of building permits and that no variances have been identified at this
 time.

 Larry Spence, from Doyle Signs and representative for the Petitioner, presented
 the case.

 The Commission found the proposed monument signs to be an improvement to
 the existing monument signs and provide better visibility of individual tenant
 listings. Some on the Commission voiced concerns that the new signs would
 be taller and larger and would inhibit vehicular visibility, however, Mr. Spence
 clarified that the overall monument sign size would be no bigger than the
 existing signs.

 The Commission supported the requests for the reasons discussed.

 Municipal Code as outlined in the staff report to allow for the installation of two
 monument signs located along Aurora Avenue for the property located at 2823

 The Commission posed several questions to the Petitioner and staff about the
 proposed requests, including questions about future plans for the second lot of
 the subdivision, building visitability, and clarification of which requests were
 under the purview of the Commission.

 The Commission noted that the second lot on the property is intended for
 construction of a single-family home for family members and asked if an
 accessory dwelling unit would be a viable alternative to subdividing the property.
 Staff confirmed that accessory dwelling units are not currently permitted in the
 City of Naperville but are recommended to be permitted in the City’s Future
 Land Use Plan. The Commission encouraged City Council to consider allowing
 accessory dwelling units in the City.

 The Commission also discussed the overall character of development in the
 area and emphasized a need for thoughtful development that is cognizant of the
 area’s history. While some on the Commission found the requests to be
 inconsistent with the character of the area, the overall Commission found no
 issue with the requests.
 The Commission supported the requests for the reasons discussed.

 A motion was made by Commissioner Richelia, seconded by Commissioner
 McDaniel, at 7:52 p.m. to close the public hearing considering the entitlement
 requests for DEV-0173-2025. The motion carried by a voice vote.
 Commissioner Naumes made a motion, seconded by Commissioner McDaniel, to
 adopt the findings of fact as presented by the petitioner and recommend
 approval of DEV-0173-2025, a rezoning to the R1A Low Density Single-Family
 Residence District upon annexation into the City of Naperville and a variance
 from Section 6-2-26:4 of the Municipal Code to permit a single-family home with a
 peak height of 43 feet for the property located at 7s731 Olesen Drive, Kerrigan
 Estates. The motion was carried by the following vote:

 Aye: 8- Abubaker, Bansal, Castagnoli, Longenbaugh, Naumes, Richelia, Robbins, and
 Wright

 Nay: 1- McDaniel


4. Conduct the public hearing for 2939 Audrey Avenue (The Atlas) - DEV-0149-2025

 Chair Robbins opened the public hearing at 7:53 p.m.

 Sara Kopinski, City of Naperville Planning Services Team, provided an overview
 of the requests.

 Vince Rosanova, Attorney for the Petitioner, and Katie Lambert, with OKW
 Architects, presented the case.

 Rosalyn Urbanek opposed the entitlement requests.

 The Commission’s discussion largely centered around traffic and pedestrian
 safety in relation to the proposed development. The Commission posed
 concerns with the existing traffic lane configuration along Audrey Avenue as well
 as concerns with weekend youth sports traffic and asked the petitioner several

City of Naperville Page 4 Printed on 3/6/2026
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes February 18, 2026

 clarifying questions about the development’s proposed traffic impact. Mr.
 Rosanova and Emma Albers, traffic engineer for Kimley Horn, answered the
 Commission's questions about traffic and cited low estimated trip generation
 and impact on area traffic. The Commission requested the Petitioner further
 analyze improvements to pedestrian circulation and safety.

 The Commission provided positive comments about the proposed rental rate
 affordability and the development’s target demographic, emphasizing the
 importance of providing housing to students, young professionals, and aging
 populations. Other positive comments cited accessibility, the absence of
 balconies facing the adjacent town home community, interior trash collection,
 and development of property that has long been vacant. Some on the
 Commission responded to public testimony and did not agree that retail was
 appropriate for this portion of the property.

 Some on the Commission expressed a desire for a slight decrease in density
 while others found greater density to be appropriate through the provision of
 micro apartment units, noting City’s Council’s recent discussion about housing
 affordability. Overall, the Commission supported the development for the
 reasons discussed.

 A motion was made by Commissioner Richelia, seconded by Commissioner
 McDaniel, at 9:02 p.m. to close the public hearing considering the entitlement
 requests for DEV-0149-2025. The motion carried by a voice vote.
 Commissioner Bansal made a motion, seconded by Commissioner McDaniel, to
 adopt the findings of fact as presented by the petitioner and recommend
 approval of DEV-0149-2025, granting approval of rezoning the property to OCI, a
 conditional use for multi-family residential in the OCI district, and variances to
 density, height, parking count and setbacks, and wall signage requirements as
 outlined in the staff report for 2939 Audrey Avenue, The Atlas. The motion was
 carried by the following vote:

 Aye: 9- Abubaker, Bansal, Castagnoli, Longenbaugh, McDaniel, Naumes, Richelia,
 Robbins, and Wright

E. REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. Discuss a potential change to the Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) meeting start
 time and, if there is consensus, direct staff to prepare an amendment to the PZC bylaws
 for approval at an upcoming meeting.
 The Commission clarified that the intent of the proposed PZC meeting start time
 change is to accommodate the public and maximize the ability of the public to
 attend meetings and provide public testimony. The Commission stated they
 have received recent feedback from the public that the current PZC meeting
 start time poses difficulty for some people to attend and that an earlier start time
 could be more accommodating. The Commission listed the meeting start times
 of other City boards and commissions to highlight that it would not be unusual
 for the PZC meeting to start earlier than 7:00 pm.

 The Commission asked staff to clarify the process and timing to update the
 bylaws to amend the meeting time. The Commission also asked staff to explore

City of Naperville Page 5 Printed on 3/6/2026
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes February 18, 2026

 how to better communicate the proposed bylaw amendments to the public to
 ensure ample public feedback is provided for the proposed change.

 Overall, the Commission emphasized a desire to do what is best to serve the
 public, whether the PZC meeting starts at 6:00 p.m. or 7:00 p.m., but would like
 to proceed with an amendment to the proposed bylaws to change the meeting
 time and other items for review and public comment at an upcoming PZC
 meeting.
 A motion was made by Commissioner Richelia, seconded by Commissioner
 McDaniel, to direct staff to prepare an amendment to the PZC bylaws to update
 the PZC meeting start time and other necessary bylaw content for approval at an
 upcoming PZC meeting. The motion carried by a voice vote.

2. Approve the minutes of the February 4, 2026 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.

 A motion was made by Commissioner Richelia, seconded by Commissioner
 McDaniel, to approve the February 4, 2026 meeting minutes. The motion carried
 by a voice vote.
