SUBJECT:
An Ordinance Granting a Parking Setback Variance to the north property line, from 23 feet to 5 feet, with a Final Plan for a medical use for property located at 2285 Sequoia Drive, in Kane County, Aurora Illinois 60506 (Advocate Dreyer Medical Clinic - L14-01056 / AU07/2-13.519-Fsd/Fpn/V - AM - Ward 5)
