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

 Karen Weber, Attorney for the Petitioner, presented the case.

 Kristy Gagovski opposed approval of the variance request.

 The Commission thanked Ms. Gagovski for her public testimony but reinforced
 the purview of the Planning and Zoning Commission to review requests for
 issues relating to land use and zoning. The Commission stated that the
 proposed request is in line with the intent of the B4 zoning district.

 The Commission discussed concerns with customer parking but agreed
 parking is not an issue with the request.

 The Commission discussed the letter of support from the Downtown Naperville
 Alliance and noted the long term vacancy of the tenant space. The Commission
 agreed the business would provide an amenity for residents and visitors.

 The Commission supported the request for the reasons discussed.

 The Commission closed the public hearing at 7:22 p.m. The motion carried by a
 voice vote.
 Commissioner Abubaker made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Bansal, to
 adopt the findings of fact as presented by the petitioner and recommend
 approval of DEV-0103-2025, a variance to Section 6-7D-4 (B4/Required Conditions)
 of the Code to allow a general service use/fitness studio to locate on the first
 floor of a building in the City’s B4 zoning district for Barry’s. The motion was

 Brad Iwicki, City of Naperville Planning Services Team, provided an overview of
 the request.

 Craig Sikora, Petitioner, presented the case.

 The Commission referenced written public comment that expressed concerns
 with vision clearance at the nearby intersection but did not find that the
 proposed request would create visibility issues at the intersection. The
 Commission found the sign to be appropriate and a positive addition to the
 property.

 The Commission supported the request for the reasons discussed.

 The Commission closed the public hearing at 7:39 p.m. The motion carried by a
 voice vote.
 Commissioner Naumes made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Castagnoli,
