Hearing officer recommends denial of Rawlings petition for 22-foot height variance
Summary
At the March 18, 2026 DuPage County hearing officer session, the hearing officer recommended denying petition 2605, which sought a 22-foot height relaxation from a 15-foot standard, stating the variation standards were not met; the signed denial was transmitted to the County Development Committee.
On March 18, 2026, the DuPage County hearing officer recommended denial of petition 2605, filed by Rawlings, a request for a 22-foot height relaxation where the local standard is 15 feet. "I'm afraid this case I did not feel that uh the variation uh standards were uh met. So my recommendation is to deny this petition," the hearing officer said, and he added that the written denial has been signed and will be sent to the County Development Committee.
The hearing officer framed the decision as a determination that the petition did not satisfy the variation criteria required under local rules; no mover, seconder, or recorded vote was noted at the recommendation session. The hearing officer also adopted the March 4 minutes earlier in the meeting and indicated no old or new business remained before adjourning.
Because the hearing officer’s action is a recommendation, the County Development Committee will receive the signed denial and determine whether to accept or modify that recommendation. The transcript did not record any public testimony in favor of or against petition 2605 during this recommendation session, and no committee consideration date was specified.
