What: a request at 1960 Lucent Lane for the Towns at Naper Commons (DEV-0042-2026).
Where it stands: the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval 6-3 on 2026-10-07 (rezoning ORI to R2, conditional use and variances except the parkway tree reduction), with conditions on parkway trees, buffering and forest preserve comments.
Next: City Council consideration; the petitioner offered to bring affordability figures to Council.
Public hearing held with no public testimony. Commissioners raised parkway trees, school impact, affordability (Council had asked for affordable units in March), buffering and loss of ORI land. Recommended approval 6-3 with conditions; the parkway tree variance was excluded.
