Elk Grove Village Considers Zoning Districts and a 140 Acre Site
Elk Grove Village planners study zoning districts amid a proposed ordinance and a tentative map. A 140 acre south central site between Illinois 53 and Eisner Road, owned by the Batitta brothers and hosting Grand Central Mercury, lies near I 90. A nearby 100 acre unincorporated subdivision and Joseph Zizzo’s multi family plans shape debate as trustees weigh office and research versus residential needs. The board examines annexation and high rise plans, with calls for more open space amid mixed opinions on future zoning.
