T-2-24 Text Amendments to the DuPage County Zoning Ordinance: To approve the  
following zoning relief:  
Zoning Petition T-2-24 proposed Text Amendments to the DuPage County Zoning  
Ordinance Chapter 37 relative to Electric Vehicles, Accessory Dwelling Units, and  
Dwelling Units: (Waive First Reading)  
• Add to the Permitted and Conditional Use sections to allow for electric vehicle  
charging stations in all nonresidential zoning districts.  
• Add new residential use requirements and bulk regulations for accessory dwelling units  
(i.e.: number of occupants in the accessory dwelling units, number of kitchens, setback  
requirements of accessory dwelling units and parking requirements).  
ZBA VOTE (to Approve): 5 Ayes, 0 Nays, 2 Absent  
Development Committee VOTE (to Approve): 4 Ayes, 0 Nays, 2 Absent  
Paul Hoss clarified the change for electric vehicle charging stations. With the amendment  
they would be able to be permitted as a stand alone use.  
County Board Member Yoo inquired if the County has ever had Accessory Dwelling  
Units before. Paul Hoss explained currently, it is allowed with a conditional use,  
requiring the occupant to be 62 years or older and a family member. With the text  
amendment people would still need a conditional use, but occupant no longer needs to be  
related and no age restriction. Also, it would allow the ADU to be located in an existing  
detached building and would increase the allowance of square footage from 400 to  
1,000, but still must meet the floor area ratio requirements. The property must be owner  
occupied, either living in principal structure or the ADU. Leases would be required to at  
least six months. Parking requirements will still remain, no more than six vehicles.
