Re-Zoning and the New Zoning Ordinance
Keep in mind that the Village is attempting two things during the re-zoning process and they’re both bad. First, they want to reclassify the zoning of hundreds of parcels in the village. So your F may become and RE3 or your RE may become an R, etc. In some cases, this is necessary. For instance, certain court-ordered subdivisions in the area with very small R lots are still classed as F – an obvious error. Correcting it has no tax consequences for anyone. If the Village allows urban homestead on R lots, it doesn’t impact their use unless they have an HOA restriction.
In addition, the Village is attempting to pass an overly broad, 127-page Zoning Ordinance that affects the land use of every parcel in Campton Hills. Removing the unnecessary and inappropriate restrictions in this ordinance is the most important change we can make in this process.
