Conditional Use for a funeral home with cremation services in the R-4 Single Family Residence

QUARTER OF SECTION 14, TOWNSHIP 40 NORTH, RANGE 11, EAST OF THE THIRD  
PRINCIPAL MERIDIAN, ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF RECORDED OCTOBER 30, 1964,  
AS DOCUMENT R64-40991, IN DUPAGE COUNTY, ILLINOIS; and  
WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of Appeals, having considered in relation to the above  
requested zoning petition presented at the above hearing and at the recommendation meeting  
held on January 9, 2025 does find as follows:  
FINDINGS OF FACT:  
1. That petitioner testified that they seek the subject zoning relief for a Conditional Use  
for a funeral home with cremation services in the R-4 Single Family Residence  
District.  
2. That petitioner testified that Moksh Dham is the contract purchaser and is an Illinois  
not-for-profit company.  
3. That petitioner testified that the subject property is approximately four and-a-half  
(4.5) acres in size and zoned R-4 Single Family Residential.  
4. That petitioner testified that there is a dilapidated and vacant split-level brick and  
frame building on the subject property that was previously a place of assembly use.  
5. That petitioner testified that the R-4 Single Family Residential District allows a  
funeral home as a conditional use where the subject property is located adjacent to a  
non-residential zoning business district boundary line, or the subject property has  
frontage on at least a minor arterial roadway.  
a. Petitioner testified that that the subject property has frontage and direct access  
onto Route 83, which is a four-lane major arterial roadway.  
6. That petitioner testified that the Illinois Supreme Court, in the City of Chicago  
Heights v. Living Word Outreach Full Gospel Church & Ministries, stated that when  
a use is designated as a conditional use in a zoning district, such designation is a  
legislative determination that the use is in harmony with the general zoning plan and  
will not adversely affect the neighborhood.  
a. That petitioner testified that the Living Word case states that an application for a  
conditional use permit may not be denied on the grounds that the use is not in  
harmony with the surrounding neighborhood but whether the use would have an  
adverse effect.  
7. That petitioner testified that the vast majority of funeral services would be held at  
off-peak traffic and school hours, such as nights and weekends, and that the vast  
majority of funeral services would end with the cremation of the body on-site,  
eliminating traffic impacts caused by large funeral processions.  
8. That petitioner testified that the second floor of the funeral home is the viewing area  
with a capacity of three hundred (300) people where the funeral services are held, and  
that at the end of the funeral, the body is lowered down to the first floor where the  
cremation units are located and then cremated as part of funeral process.  
9. That petitioner testified that the cremation process results in no smoke, no smell, an  
no noise, and that Section 37-1005.3 of the DuPage County Zoning Ordinance  
regarding particulate matter emissions would allow up to four and-a-half pounds of  
particulate matter emissions per hour from this property.  
a. Furthermore, that petitioner testified that the cremation furnaces that are proposed  
for the subject property would have particulate matters of only three-hundredths  
of a pound per hour.  
10. That petitioner testified that there are wetlands on the north and east sides of the  
subject property, which will be rehabilitated and enhanced creating an even greater  
buffer area to the north, east, and south.  
11. That petitioner testified that there are no unique or unusual impacts to the surrounding  
properties as there are no points of access to them from the subject property due to the  
location of the wetlands.  
12. That the Zoning Board of Appeals finds that petitioner has demonstrated sufficient  
evidence to support the zoning relief for a Conditional Use for a funeral home with  
cremation services in the R-4 Single Family Residence District, and that petitioner  
provided sufficient evidence to satisfy the seven (7) standards to support a  
Conditional Use.  
STANDARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USES:  
1. That the Zoning Board of Appeals 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 funeral home would be developed in accordance with  
all required bulk regulations relative to setbacks, heights, open space, and stormwater  
detention, and therefore would not impact an adequate supply of light and air to the  
adjacent properties.  
·
Furthermore, that petitioner testified that the cremation furnaces that are proposed  
for the subject property have particulate matters of only three-hundredths of a pound  
per hour and would not impair the supply of light and air to the adjacent properties.  
b. Increase the hazard from fire or other dangers to said property as petitioner has  
demonstrated that the proposed funeral home would comply with all DuPage County  
codes relative to building, particulate matter, and the Fire Protection District, and would  
not increase the hazard from fire or other dangers to said property.  
·
Furthermore, that petitioner testified that the proposed building would have a  
sprinkler system, fire alarm system, and enhanced well to allow for greater fire flow.  
c. Diminish the value of land and buildings throughout the County as petitioner has  
demonstrated that the proposed funeral home will replace an older vacant building with  
an entirely new building, which will have no adverse impacts on the value of the  
surrounding recreational, education, and residential uses.  
d. Unduly increase traffic congestion in the public streets and highways as petitioner has  
demonstrated that the proposed funeral home would be located on the east side of  
Illinois Route 83, a four-lane roadway, utilizing the existing driveway entrance/exit, and  
that the proposed use in addition to the existing access point, would not 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 funeral home would comply with all codes and  
requirements by DuPage County and that the Stormwater Department has no objections  
to the concept of the petition and will require a Stormwater Certification.  
f. Incur additional public expense for flood protection, rescue or relief as petitioner has  
demonstrated that the proposed funeral home would comply with all codes and  
requirements by DuPage County and that the proposed funeral home would 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 funeral  
home conditional use will be consistent with similar funeral homes within DuPage  
County and with all ordinances relative to the public health, safety, comfort, morals, and  
general welfare of the inhabitants of DuPage County.

PART OF THE WEST HALF OF THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER AND PART OF THE EAST HALF OF  
THE SOUTHWEST QUARTER OF SECTION 13, TOWNSHIP 39 NORTH, RANGE 11, EAST OF THE  
THIRD PRINCIPAL MERIDIAN, ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF RECORDED AUGUST 11,  
1939 AS DOCUMENT NO. 402497, IN DUPAGE COUNTY, ILLINOIS; and  
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 December 18, 2024 does find as follows:  
FINDINGS OF FACT:  
A. That petitioner testified that the subject zoning relief is to subdivide the subject  
property into two (2) new lots by reducing the required lot size for two (2) lots (with  
his existing house to remain on the proposed Lot 1), reducing the required lot width  
of corner lot for proposed Lot 1, and increasing the permitted FAR on proposed Lot 1  
in order to build a new detached garage.  
B. That petitioner testified that he has requested the subject zoning relief in order to  
subdivide his property into two (2) lots, which would be consistent with the  
surrounding area and corner properties.  
C. That petitioner testified that he has lived at the subject property for approximately 1.5  
years.  
D. That petitioner testified that both lots would be serviced with public sewer and water.  
E. That petitioner testified that he has drainage concerns on his property and that a new  
detached garage would assist and alleviate drainage concerns on the subject property.  
F. That the Zoning Hearing Officer finds that petitioner has not demonstrated sufficient  
evidence for a practical difficulty or particular hardship in relation to the subject  
zoning relief to reduce the required lot size for two (2) new lots, to reduce the  
required corner side yard lot width for proposed Lot 1, and to increase the FAR to  
allow for a new detached garage on proposed Lot 1.  
G. That the Zoning Hearing Officer finds that in supplemental documents submitted by  
the petitioner following the public hearing, petitioner indicated that there was a  
hardship of being deprived of the value for the subject land due to the minimum lot  
size requirements, and that the Zoning Hearing Officer finds that a  
financial/self-made hardship does not qualify as particular hardship or practical  
difficulty for a Variation.  
H. Furthermore, that the Zoning Hearing Officer finds that at the public hearing, the  
petitioner testified to existing drainage concerns on the subject property.  
STANDARDS FOR VARIATIONS:  
1. That the Zoning Hearing Officer finds that petitioner has not demonstrated that the  
granting of the Variation 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.  
2. That the Zoning Hearing Officer finds that petitioner has not demonstrated the granting of  
the Variation will not:  
a. Impair an adequate supply of light and air to the adjacent property as petitioner has not  
demonstrated that the proposed lot subdivision will not impair an adequate supply of  
light and air to the adjacent properties.  
b. Increase the hazard from fire or other dangers to said property as petitioner has not  
demonstrated that the proposed lot subdivision will not increase the hazard from fire or  
other dangers to said property.  
c. Diminish the value of land and buildings throughout the County as petitioner has not  
demonstrated that the proposed lot subdivision will not diminish the value of land and  
buildings throughout the County.  
d. Unduly increase traffic congestion in the public streets and highways as petitioner has  
not demonstrated that the proposed lot subdivision 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 not  
demonstrated that the proposed lot subdivision 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 not  
demonstrated that the proposed lot subdivision 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 not demonstrated that the proposed lot  
subdivision will not impair the public health, safety, comfort, morals, or general welfare  
and will be an added benefit to the neighborhood.
