Chipotle Mexican Grill

WHEATON, IL — On Monday, the Wheaton City Council gave its unanimous approval for a drive-thru to be added to the restaurant space at 811 E. Butterfield Rd. that was once home to a Chipotle. The special use permit was unanimously approved by the Planning & Zoning Board at its March 11 meeting. The 4.1-acre property comprises a 9,920 square foot commercial building and a 13,438 square foot commercial building, according to city documents. Both buildings are part of a planned unit development and house multiple tenants, including Oberweis Dairy, Pearle Vision, Sport Clips and DuPage Medical Group. The site has 192 parking spaces, which would be reduced to 166 spaces to allow for the drive-thru. As proposed, traffic for the drive-thru would flow counterclockwise around the 13,438 square foot building, with space for five cars to wait in line.
