C. PUBLIC FORUM:

 Marilyn Schweitzer spoke on considerations of the 2022 Land Use Master
 Plan and urged the Commission to follow the guidance of the plan
 regarding pedestrian access.


D. PUBLIC HEARINGS:

1. Conduct the public hearing for 1203 Iroquois Avenue (formerly known as 1200 E. Ogden
 Avenue) (7 Brew) - PZC 23-1-117
 Sara Kopinski, City of Naperville Planning Services Team, provided an
 overview of the request.

 Vince Rosanova, Attorney for Petitioner, presented the case.

 Public Testimony:

 Marilyn Schweitzer spoke on the project and spoke on pedestrian access
 to the site. Ms. Schweitzer stated that the plans seemed unclear if
 pedestrian access is improved or reduced. She also stated that walkability
 is not prioritized with the drive thru only proposal and requested that the

City of Naperville Page 2 Printed on 3/22/2024
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes February 21, 2024

 goals of the 2022 land use plan be followed and increase walkability.

 Commissioner Athanikar stated that the Urban Center designation of the
 site is for auto oriented development.

 Marilyn Schweitzer stated that another goal of the plan is increasing
 walkability.

 Mr. Rosanova stated that there is no indoor dining at this location and
 customers must access the business through a vehicle.

 Commissioner Bansal commented that the elimination of a bypass lane is
 a concern in an emergency situation. Mr. Rosanova stated that the staff
 could control traffic in the duel lanes in an emergency situation and that an
 additional bypass lane would be duplicative and the introduction of a
 bypass lane would take away from the efficiency of the site.

 Commissioner Bansal asked about the current orientation of the site and if
 there was a bypass lane for the previous business. Mr. Rosanova stated
 that there was not a bypass lane currently.

 Commissioner McDaniel confirmed if the proposed site plan is similar to
 other existing locations and how successful they are. Mr. Rosanova
 confirmed that the layout works well at existing locations.

 Commissioner Robbins stated that the proposal does not live up to the
 walkability goals, but that she will approve the proposal and feels that it will
 be successful.
 The PZC closed the public hearing.


 Commissioner Castagnoli made a motion, seconded by Commissioner McDaniel
 to adopt the findings of fact as presented by the petitioner and approve PZC
 23-1-117, a variance to eliminate the required bypass lane and a variance to
 increase the permitted wall signage area as outlined in the staff report for the
 property located at 1203 Iroquois Avenue (formerly known as 1200 E. Ogden
 Avenue) (7 Brew).

 Aye: 6- Athanikar, Castagnoli, McDaniel, Richelia, Robbins, and Wright

 Nay: 1- Bansal

 Absent: 2- King, and Van Someren

E. REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. Approve the meeting minutes from the January 17, 2024 Planning and Zoning
