Committee advances annexation and ORI zoning for 6.3-acre site south of Sunrise Road
Loading...
Summary
Aurora’s BZ and E Committee approved an annexation agreement and ORI (office, research and light industrial) zoning with conditional use for about 6.3 acres south of Sunrise Road and east of Frieder Lane, including requirements for road extension and semi-truck access controls; final plans will return for review.
The BZ and E Committee voted on Oct. 15 to advance three related items: an annexation agreement, an ordinance to annex vacant land south of Sunrise Road and east of Frieder Lane, and an ordinance establishing ORI zoning with a plan description for approximately 6.3 acres in DuPage County.
Senior planner Jill Morgan said the annexation agreement includes extending Sunrise Road with curb and gutter to the property frontage and establishes one full access at the easternmost entrance and a restricted right-in/right-out for the western entrance to channel semi-truck movements to Frieder Lane. The concept plan adheres to ORI bulk restrictions and preserves a 100-foot setback to the residential property to the east.
John Filipchuk, representing the property owner (Sheila Brown Trust), said the owner intends to annex and zone the parcels to make the property marketable; he introduced Nigel Brown (trustee) and Matt Wehrlein of Semcon Engineering as part of the project team. Filipchuk said the petitioner expects a future buyer to present detailed final plans and elevations to planning staff and the commission.
Committee members asked about surrounding uses and the petitioner noted adjacency to warehouse and fulfillment centers and the Naperville employment center. Jill Morgan said she would make a minor edit to the plan description language to allow agricultural use until a permanent user is identified, and she will include that change before the item returns to council.
All three related motions were moved, seconded and advanced by voice vote. Staff noted future requirements for final plans, elevation review, and any necessary plan-description revisions.
