WHEREAS, the Zoning Hearing Officer, having considered in relation to the above requested zoning petition presented at the above hearing and at the recommendation meeting held on April 2, 2025 does find as follows:
FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. That petitioner testified that the zoning relief is to allow a Conditional Use to increase the total permitted area of detached accessory buildings from 1,000 sq. ft. to approximately 1,381 sq. ft., for an existing detached garage and shed.
B. That petitioner testified that he purchased the subject property in October 2020.
C. That petitioner testified that when he purchased the subject property, there was an existing shipping container on the property that he plans to convert into a shed with siding and roofing.
D. That petitioner testified that he will not add any additional structures to the subject property and that the subject zoning relief is for the existing detached garage and shipping container that will be converted into a shed.
E. That petitioner testified that no business will be ran out of the proposed shed and that no utilities will service the proposed shed.
F. That the Zoning Hearing Officer finds that petitioner has demonstrated sufficient evidence for a Conditional Use to increase the total permitted area of detached accessory buildings from 1,000 sq. ft. to approximately 1,381 sq. ft., for an existing detached garage and shed, and that the proposed shed will not have any impact on adjacent properties and roadways, will not impact on drainage, will not impede ventilation and light to the subject property or adjacent properties.
STANDARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USES:
1. That the Zoning Hearing Officer finds that petitioner has demonstrated that the granting of the Conditional Use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance, and will not be injurious to the neighborhood, detrimental to the public welfare, or in conflict with the County’s comprehensive plan for development; and specifically, that the granting of the Conditional Use will not:
a. Impair an adequate supply of light and air to the adjacent property as petitioner has demonstrated that the proposed shed will be located in the same location as the existing shipping container on the property, which is located in the rear of the subject property, which does not impact the supply of light and air to adjacent properties.
b. Increase the hazard from fire or other dangers to said property as petitioner has demonstrated that he will obtain a building permit for the proposed shed and that it will be built in accordance with all building codes.
c. Diminish the value of land and buildings throughout the County as petitioner has demonstrated that the proposed shed will be converted from an existing shipping container, thereby removing the shipping container from the subject property, which will improve the value of land and buildings throughout the County.
d. Unduly increase traffic congestion in the public streets and highways as petitioner has demonstrated that the proposed shed will be located completely in the rear of the subject property and will not unduly increase traffic congestion in the public streets and highways.
e. Increase the potential for flood damages to adjacent property as petitioner has demonstrated that the proposed shed will not increase the potential for flood damages to adjacent property.
f. Incur additional public expense for flood protection, rescue or relief as petitioner has demonstrated that the proposed shed will not incur additional public expense for flood protection, rescue, or relief.
g. Otherwise impair the public health, safety, comfort, morals, or general welfare of the inhabitants of DuPage County as petitioner has demonstrated that the proposed shed will be converted from an existing shipping container on the subject property, and that through the building permit process, petitioner will convert the shipping container into a shed, including siding and roofing, which will be an added benefit to the neighborhood.
