Trustees approve Jade (Jada) Estates annexation and rezoning to R-4; one trustee votes no
Summary
The board approved an annexation agreement, annexation and rezoning for the Jade (referred in materials as Jada) Estates development at the southwest corner of Wolfs Crossing and Douglas Road, authorizing 52 residential units; the rezoning passed with a 6–1 vote, with Trustee McCarthy Lang dissenting.
The Village of Oswego Board of Trustees voted to approve an annexation agreement, annex the property and rezoned the southwest corner of Wolfs Crossing and Douglas Road from R-1 (single-family) to R-4 (general residence district) to permit the proposed Jade Estates development.
The petitioner (ProJades/Projades) and its attorney attended the hearing; their team said they are prepared to sign the annexation documents and that they will deed right-of-way for a Wolf Road crossing and coordinate shared stormwater detention with the village’s roundabout improvements. The approved concept plan calls for 52 residential units on roughly an 8-acre parcel: 20 duplex buildings and three townhome buildings (each with four units). Village staff said revised plans reduced density and increased buffer yards after Planning & Zoning Commission concerns.
Why it matters: The approvals change zoning and add up to 52 dwelling units on a site the village will annex, with shared stormwater and right-of-way obligations. Board discussion highlighted interrelated detention basins, construction timing, and a donation of right-of-way for the roundabout.
Vote and procedure: The board approved the annexation agreement and the annexation ordinance; roll-call votes show the annexation/annexation-agreement motion passed and the subsequent rezoning ordinance passed on final vote with one dissent (Trustee McCarthy Lang). Village staff said final engineering and preliminary/final plan reviews remain, and the petitioner committed to providing the deed for right-of-way promptly.
Next steps: The petitioner must submit final engineering and coordinate stormwater and roundabout construction schedules with the village; preliminary and final plats and building permits remain subject to further review.
