Will County P&Z: Washington Township Lot Variance Granted
August 21, 2025/Comments Off on Will County P&Z: Washington Township Lot Variance Granted
A variance to reduce the minimum lot area from 10 acres to 5 acres was unanimously approved for a property at 1444 E. Corning Road in Washington Township. The owner, Evelia Lopez Florez, sought the variance to bring the nonconforming parcel, created in 1978, into compliance to allow for the construction of a new barn. Staff supported the request, noting it would not constitute spot-zoning as other similar-sized lots exist in the area.
