DuPage Co. board votes down mosque zoning

January 14, 2011

Plans called for building the mosque near 91st Street and Route 83.

One board member says while nearby houses of worship cover 35-40 percent of their land with buildings and pavement, the proposed mosque would cover 60-65 percent of the land it wants to build on.

An attorney representing the mosque says that issue will be addressed before February 1 when the DuPage County Development Committee is expected to consider the zoning board of appeals' recommendation.
