After a public hearing on September 28, 2023, the Zoning Board of Appeals approved a minor variance for added building height for an indoor field house and voted to recommend that the City Council approve a major variance allowing parking spaces to encroach into the front yard setback, for the park district's renovation of Oakton Park at 2800 Oakton and 2620 Oakton Street. The motion carried on a roll call vote. A separate request to raise the driving range netting was withdrawn before the vote and heard later as its own case.
