Development News from the latest meeting
June 15, 2026 City Council Regular Meeting
Published: Jun 15, 2026
Speed Limit Increased on William's Road North of Batavia Road
The City Council approved increasing the speed limit on a section of William's Road. Following discussions over the past three council meetings, the consensus feedback received on June 1st was to increase the speed limit north of Batavia Road from 30 mph to 35 mph. This change requires an amendment to the city code. The council directed staff to present an ordinance reflecting these code changes. A motion to direct staff to present an ordinance approving the speed limit increase from 30 mph to 35 mph on William's Road north of Batavia Road was approved.
Warrenville Maintains Existing Residential Speed Limits After Council Debate
The City Council voted to maintain the existing residential speed limits in Warrenville, opting for the 'status quo' option. After extensive discussion over multiple meetings, the council did not reach a consensus on standardizing 20 and 25 mph city roads. Three alternate motions were presented: 1) maintain existing limits, 2) standardize to 25 mph, and 3) identify impacts of standardizing to 20 mph. The council ultimately approved a motion to direct staff to present ordinances for cleaning up and updating city code language while keeping the existing residential speed limits. Concerns were raised about streets without sidewalks potentially warranting lower speed limits, and a specific mention was made of a potential 15 mph posted limit on Sarah Holmes street, which staff will investigate as it's not listed in the city code. The decision means current 20 mph and 25 mph zones will remain as they are.
City Council Reviews $900,000 TIF Request for Route 59 Car Wash and Starbucks Development
The City Council considered a request for up to $900,000 in Tax Increment Finance (TIF) assistance for a development agreement involving a proposed Dream Clean Car Wash and a Starbucks. This development, located on Route 59 between Duke and Estes, will also include three new commercial development sites upon full build-out. The City Council had previously approved preliminary entitlements, including rezoning, for this project last year. The Plan Commission recommended approval of the final plat of subdivision and a major change to the planned unit development earlier this month. The TIF assistance is intended to cover public infrastructure improvements, associated contingencies, and incentives for Starbucks, with a consultant's analysis deeming these requests TIF-eligible and reasonable. The projected return on TIF investment is expected to be significant, generating new property and sales tax revenue, and potentially catalyzing further investment along the Route 59 corridor. The negotiated TIF amount aligns with the Economic Development Advisory Committee's recommendation, and sufficient funds are available within the TIF 4 balance. Any assistance would be disbursed after improvements are made and approved by the city.
City Council Moves Forward with Route 59 Corridor Project Plan
The City Council considered a professional services agreement with VandeWal and Associates and its subconsultant Engineer Resource Associates for a Route 59 Corridor Project Plan. This initiative began in November 2025 when the council directed staff to amend the fiscal year 2026 work plan to focus on this corridor plan instead of a subarea plan. The process has included joint meetings with the Plan Commission, issuance of RFPs, consultant interviews, reference checks, and scope negotiations. Deliverables for the project will include an updated future land use map, zoning recommendations, streetscape design, building design guidelines, an implementation matrix, and site plans/sketches for key development sites. The selected consultants were chosen based on their RFP response, project scope, experience with IDOT, and local experience. The council was asked to direct staff to present a resolution approving the finalized agreement, with the item anticipated for the July 6th agenda. A motion to direct staff to present the resolution was approved.
City Council Approves Traffic Calming Toolkit
The City Council considered recommendations for a citywide traffic calming toolkit. Following a presentation at the May 4th meeting and consensus feedback from the June 1st meeting, staff recommended approval of the toolkit. The council was asked to direct the city attorney and staff to work on a resolution approving it. Discussion involved how the toolkit relates to the 'Complete Streets' initiative, with staff clarifying that the toolkit sets a process for handling public inquiries and requests regarding traffic control measures like stop signs and speeding complaints in a consistent manner, separate from but complementary to Complete Streets. A motion to direct staff to present a resolution approving the city of Warrenville traffic calming toolkit was approved.
