On February 5, 2025, the DuPage County Zoning Hearing Officer convened a meeting to discuss key zoning recommendations, with no public comments recorded. The meeting began with the approval of minutes from the previous session held on January 15, 2025, which were formally adopted without objection.

A significant topic of discussion was the LAHA petition, identified as case number 24-085. The officer recommended approval for a conditional use request that would allow a reduction in the interior side setback for an existing shed. The current requirement mandates a setback of three feet, but the recommendation proposes reducing it to approximately two feet. This shed has been in place for at least five years, and the recommendation includes a duration of five years for the approval. Notably, if the shed were to be more than 50% destroyed during this period, the approval would expire.

This recommendation will be forwarded to the county development committee for further consideration. The decision reflects ongoing efforts to address property use flexibility while maintaining zoning regulations, which is crucial for homeowners and property developers in the region. The outcome of this recommendation could set a precedent for similar requests in the future, highlighting the balance between individual property rights and community standards.
