Commission approves amendment to comprehensive plan to allow four duplexes on parcel; item to go to Village Board

The Plan Commission voted March 19 to approve resolution 26‑10, which preliminarily amends the Village comprehensive plan to change the future land use for parcel B3053300D from commercial to residential (to permit four duplexes).

Staff explained the parcel is currently shown as commercial in the TID plan but said the Village’s financial advisers (Ellers) indicated there is not a statutory or procedural barrier to converting the site to residential given the Village’s prior boundary amendments. The applicant (referenced in the packet as Richard Nabi) said he plans to build four duplex units, one for each of his four children as an owner‑occupied investment, with options to rent or convert to condominiums later.

Commissioners discussed market comparables and potential impacts on TID increment. One commissioner said the parcel is surrounded by residential uses and that interest in residential redevelopment has been the most common inquiry for the site. Staff noted that final approval will be handled by the Village Board through an ordinance (the commission approves the resolution here, which becomes an ordinance at the board level).

After discussion the commission approved the resolution by voice vote; the motion carried and the item will proceed to the Village Board for final action.

The transcript does not record a roll‑call vote tally; the commission’s approval was recorded by voice.
