The 75th Street Corridor Study (available for download below) recommended a future land use designation Residential, Office and Limited Commercial (ROLC) for properties near the intersection of 75th Street and Wehrli Road.  Based on the recommendations contained in the 75th Street Corridor Study, and the recently completed Plank Road Study, the City of Naperville is preparing a draft ROLC zoning district for public review and comment.

The Plan Commission conducted public hearings on August 18, 2010 and September 1, 2010 and recommended approval of the proposed ROLC zoning district to City Council.  The City Council will consider the recommended ROLC zoning district on:

Tuesday, September 21, 2010, 7:00 p.m.
Council Chambers
Naperville Municipal Center, 400 S. Eagle Street

More information on the draft ROLC zoning district, including a copy of the draft regulations, is available at www.naperville.il.us/ROLC.aspx.

Purpose

The purpose of the 75th Street Corridor Study is to complete a small-area study of the Corridor that will be adopted as an update to the 1998 East Sector Plan. The 75th Street Corridor Study Area encompasses the parcels fronting 75th Street between the city’s municipal boundary on the east and the intersection of 75th Street and Washington Street on the west.

The scope of the study includes:

  • Description of existing conditions
  • Analysis of market conditions
  • Land Use
  • Transportation and Access
  • Utilities
  • Corridor Enhancements
  • Implementation Strategies


Background

East Sector Plan: The East Sector is Naperville’s largest planning area, encompassing over 27 square miles of land. It is generally bounded by Warrenville Road and the East-West Tollway to the north; Naper Boulevard and College/Wehrli Road on the east; the East Branch of the DuPage River on the south; and the West Branch of the DuPage River and Plainfield/Naperville Road on the west (insert map). In addition to the 75th Street Corridor, the sector’s major assets include the downtown; the I-88 office corridor; the Historic District; North Central College; and numerous established neighborhoods and institutions. The Comprehensive Master Plan for the East Sector was most recently updated in 1998.

Comprehensive Master Plan: This Plan is reflective of the planning process and is subject to amendments or occasional updates in order to ensure that it remains current in light of the concepts, market conditions, and attitudes which have changed since its adoption. In order to provide guidance and policy direction in the future development of the 75th Street Corridor and other sub-areas located throughout the East Sector, the City Council initiated amendments to the East Sector Plan on August 6, 2007.  For more information, please go to the project Web site of the East Sector Plan Update.

75th Street: 75th Street is a strategic regional arterial that bisects the city from its eastern boundary with the Village of Woodridge, to its western boundary with the City of Aurora. In addition to serving as a gateway to Naperville, 75th Street also supports significant volumes of through traffic and utility infrastructure. The character of the corridor varies greatly from east to west, and, although largely developed, it includes several parcels that may be subject to future development or consolidation and redevelopment activity.


Public Input Process

The recommendations contained in the 75th Street Corridor Study are based upon a comprehensive planning process involving interested residents, property and business owners, developers, and other stakeholders.  A series of public meetings were held to solicit stakeholder input on study components; a summary of the meetings is provided below.

Following are summaries of meetings involving the 75th Street Corridor Study.

Please note that the Plan Commission and City Council meeting minutes are also available on the Plan Commission and City Council agenda pages of the city's Web site.
