What this means
Commissioners approved a parking setback variance that lets an asphalt contractor keep a parking area closer to the street. They also approved a new housing development (Naperville Ridge) with rezoning and a planned development, and approved a 297-unit apartment building in the CityGate area; both approvals include deviations from normal rules and come with conditions and staff-recommended requirements. Residents should expect future site work and construction on these properties and note that commissioners raised concerns about tree removal, open space, and traffic at 75th Street and Ferry Road.
