subject property. Since the County requires driveways to be a hard surface, the petitioner  
is requesting relief to keep the gravel.

T-2-25 Text Amendments: Request to proceed with a public hearing before the DuPage  
County Zoning Board of Appeals to consider proposed text amendments to the DuPage  
County Zoning Ordinance, specifically related to the following:  
• T-2-25 Proposed Text Amendments: Creation of two new zoning districts, R-3.A and  
R-4.A, aimed at advancing the goals of the Ad-Hoc Housing Solutions Committee to  
promote the development of additional attached and detached dwelling units in  
unincorporated DuPage County.  
Mr. Hoss explained the proposed text amendment is asking to establish two new zoning  
districts, R-3.A and R-4.A. In anticipation of the next meeting of the Ad-Hoc Housing  
Solutions Committee, the County is trying to provide opportunities to scale up more  
housing units. The Committee would vote to allow this text amendment to go before the  
Zoning Board of Appeals in a public hearing. These new districts would be place holder  
in anticipation of the County establishing a housing program that includes land banking  
and land trusts. The County could rezone these properties, and developers would not have  
to go through the entitlement process. This amendment proposes these new districts  
would allow two dwelling units, allowing smaller lots, FAR would be increased, and the  
setbacks less.  
Chair Tornatore had a concern of having a newly rezoned County owned property next to  
R-3 and R-4 properties, where they will be allowed to have two dwelling units. There  
may be residents who would be upset about this disparity.
