Alderman Jensen named chair of Development, Planning & Zoning after council debate on vice‑chair rules
Summary
After removing item 6.4 from the consent agenda, the Elmhurst City Council appointed Alderman Jensen as chair of the Development, Planning & Zoning Committee and discussed whether the city code requires a vice chair for standing committees.
The Elmhurst City Council approved the appointment of Alderman Jensen as chair of the Development, Planning & Zoning (DPZ) Committee at its Jan. 6 meeting by a 10-0 vote with three members absent.
Why it matters: The DPZ chair oversees planning and zoning matters and will preside over project reviews including proposed façade renovations, expansions and conditional use permits that appear elsewhere on the council’s agenda.
