In a pivotal moment for Lombard's development, the Plan Commission unanimously approved a significant zoning amendment during a special meeting on July 28, 2025. Commissioner Johnson led the charge, recommending the acceptance of the petition related to Glenbard East Planning Development, asserting that it meets the Village of Lombard's zoning standards.

Johnson's motion, which received a second from Commissioner Sweetser, highlighted the interdepartmental report's findings as the basis for their decision. The commission's approval of PC 25-11 was contingent upon four specific conditions, ensuring that the development aligns with community standards and regulations.

The vote was a resounding success, with all commissioners—Johnson, Sweetser, Flanagan, Springberg, Versen, and Chair Giuliano—casting their votes in favor. This decision will now move forward to the Village Board for final consideration on August 21, 2025.

As the meeting progressed, the commission prepared to address additional cases, indicating a busy agenda ahead for Lombard's planning efforts. The approval of PC 25-11 marks a significant step in the village's ongoing development initiatives, reflecting a commitment to structured growth and community engagement.
