After hearing appeals from both Elmhurst Memorial Healthcare and concerned residents neighboring the hospital’s new campus, the Elmhurst City Council unanimously approved a report granting a requested amendment to the south hospital campus’s Planned Development Plan.
The report would add parcels to the development site, annex and rezone various parcels, re-align a street that connects to the north side of the campus, and request a conditional use permit to allow off-site parking in a lot currently zoned for community shopping and service.
The vote came before appeals from a group of unincorporated Yorkfield neighbors concerned that the re-aligned Harvard Street recommendation would result in drastically increased traffic flow through the area, along with depreciating property values throughout their neighborhood.
The City Council also unanimously approved its operating budget after amending the budget ordinance to include a to be determined amount in city funding for the municipal sidewalk 50/50 program.
