The commission moved forward on proposed zoning code updates that would give builders more flexibility on building materials while still requiring durable, higher-quality facades. It also agreed that some buildings on major streets could qualify for minor exceptions when their fronts are less visible or when strict facade variety rules do not fit the site. On electric vehicle charging, the commission said it wants to keep the current draft language unless a legal change is required. The meeting also included a discussion of state housing and parking proposals that could affect future development in Hanover Park, but no final action was taken on those state issues.
