Summary
Trustees received a recap of the Community Development Committee on Oct. 30: staff plans to release a request for proposals for a comprehensive plan in November, downtown rezoning options were presented, and Public Works provided a stormwater update comparing Westmont to other DuPage County communities.
Trustee Scales told the Oct. 30 village board the Community Development Committee met earlier that day and reviewed next steps on the comprehensive plan, downtown rezoning and stormwater planning.
Director Hinterfein (community-development) told trustees staff is targeting a November release for a request for proposals to hire a consultant to lead the comprehensive-plan update; staff expects to have a consultant selected in the early part of 2026. Planner Scott Williams presented three draft zoning concepts for the downtown: a core downtown district, a downtown-edge district and a downtown-residential district. The options are intended to align with the comprehensive-plan process so rezoning and plan updates can proceed in a coordinated way.
Director Reese of Public Works provided a stormwater update, comparing Westmont's conditions and practices to other communities in DuPage County and outlining potential revisions to the village's stormwater plan. Trustee Scales said Reese's presentation "did a very good job" of educating committee members and that staff will continue to work on revising and improving stormwater planning.
Staff told trustees the next Planning & Zoning Commission meeting is scheduled for Nov. 12 at 6 p.m. at Village Hall and that committee work will continue into 2026.
