ITEM SUMMARY:
Educare West DuPage, a non-profit specializing in care for and educating children from birth to 5 years
old, requests approval of an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and a Zoning Map Amendment
for a portion of the property at 525 N Neltnor Boulevard. The property consists of two parcels and is
roughly 4.3 acres with frontage on Neltnor Boulevard, Grove Avenue, and Ridgeland Avenue. The
western parcel is approximately 2.68 acres and is improved with a 2-story brick building previously
used as a place of worship. It has an accessory structure in the rear. The vacant eastern parcel is
roughly 1.62 acres.
The amendment to the Comprehensive Plan will change the land use designation of the western parcel
of the subject property from Multi-Family Residential to Corridor Commercial on the Future Land Use
Map. The amendment to the Zoning Map will change that parcel from R-2 Single-Family Residence to
B-2 General Business. No change in zoning is proposed for the eastern parcel at this time, despite
prior consideration of such.
Educare recently purchased the property and has plans to use the existing structure as a daycare
facility. Minimal site improvements are needed to accommodate this use. The property is located in the
R-2 Single-Family Residential District, which does not permit daycare facilities. This type of use is,
however, permitted by right in the B-2 General Business District. Thus, Educare is seeking a Zoning
Map Amendment to place the parcel with the existing structure in the B-2 District.
At their April 2) 2025 meeting, members of the Plan Commission voted unanimously (5-0, with two
absent) in support of the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and the proposed
amendment to the Zoning Map for the western parcel of the property. Changes to the eastern parcel
have been removed from consideration at the request of the petitioner.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Discuss and recommend approval of the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and the
proposed amendment to the Zoning Map for the western parcel of the property.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
Development Committee members voted unanimously (7-0) in support of recommending the Plan and
Map amendments.
