The opportunity to speak to the Development Committee is provided for those who have
a question or comment on an agenda item or a City of West Chicago issue. The
Development Committee appreciates hearing from our residents and your thoughts and
questions are valued. The Development Committee strives to make the best
recommendations for the City and public input is very helpful.
Respect for the duties of the Development Committee and for the democratic process will
be adhered to — in this regard, civility and a sense of decorum will be strictly followed.
All speakers must address their comments to the Chairperson. Comments that are
personally condescending will not be permitted. Speakers shall be courteous and should

Use to being allowed by right, as the precautions needed to make the building safe are
not zoning related as much as building and fire code matters.
Items for Discussion
A. Design Standards Addendum — Staff considered the design standards guidance
offered in two communities, St. Charles and Naperville. In addition to reformatting
the code and addendum (presented in November), Staff looked at how a handful of
other changes may be considered to assure the City of West Chicago is not caught in
a 20-year-old architectural design marketplace. Following Development Committee
consideration, Staff will return with any specific amendments, if needed.
