The DuPage County Zoning Hearing Officer on March 5, 2025 recommended denial of zoning petition 2501, filed under the name Chaudhry, which sought two variances: permission to keep one horse on a parcel of 19,999 square feet (less than the 40,000‑square‑foot threshold referenced in the request) and a reduction of the required 30‑foot rear‑yard setback for a horse stable to approximately 10.44 feet to accommodate an existing shed.

The officer said he had reviewed the record and “I am recommending to the county development committee that the case was not sufficiently set forth and and approved,” and executed a written recommendation that will be made part of the record. The recommendation was transmitted to the County Development Committee for its consideration; the committee’s action is the next step and is not recorded in this meeting transcript.

The petition described the smaller lot as 19,999 square feet and identified an existing shed the petitioner proposes to use as a stable. The requested setback reduction would lower the rear‑yard requirement from 30 feet to about 10.44 feet. The transcript contains no record of a mover, second, roll‑call vote, or a final decision by the County Development Committee; the action recorded in the March 5 recommendation meeting is the Zoning Hearing Officer’s formal recommendation to deny and the inclusion of that written recommendation in the record.

No public comments, petitioner testimony, or written exhibits for this petition are recorded in the provided transcript excerpt. The transcript does not specify a date when the County Development Committee will consider the recommendation.

The matter will proceed to the County Development Committee for further consideration; any final approval, denial, or modification would be decided by that committee.
