Campton Hills adopts 2025 Comprehensive Plan to guide growth and conservation
Summary
The Village of Campton Hills on Dec. 2 approved Ordinance 25-26, adopting the 2025 Comprehensive Plan that updates land-use strategies, conservation-design language and intergovernmental outreach; trustees and residents emphasized farmland protection, water/stormwater coordination and senior housing strategies.
The Village of Campton Hills Board of Trustees voted Dec. 2 to adopt the Village—omprehensive Plan 2025, a major update that adds new land-use strategies and revisions to conservation design, water management, and senior-housing plans.
Planner James Brown presented the draft and said many changes reflected input from a September workshop and subsequent public comment, including additions to land-use strategy lists, a revised discussion of Route 47, and expanded conservation-design text. "There was some potential desire to change the plan concerning potential development and future land use map," Brown told the board, noting edits were highlighted in the online version.
During the public-hearing portion of the meeting resident Patsy thanked the plan commission and Brown for their work. "I just wanted to publicly thank the plan commission and Jim Brown for their work having gone through this process," she said, urging trustees to preserve the village—haracter and natural resources.
Trustees noted minor edits. One trustee pointed out a typographical error on page 6 and asked staff to correct it before final publication. After a roll-call vote, the board adopted Ordinance 25-26 by majority vote; the motion was moved by Trustee Mike Mallet and seconded by Trustee Janet (recorded as second), with all members present voting to approve.
Why it matters: The updated plan revises how Campton Hills balances development pressure and farmland/open-space protection, clarifies coordination with neighboring jurisdictions (including Campton Township and Kane County Forest Preserve) on conservation and stormwater, and adds strategies addressing senior housing and institutional land uses. Staff advised the board these updates are intended to keep the village current with state expectations and to make the village pproach to future proposals clearer for developers and residents.
Next steps: Staff will incorporate the editorial corrections raised during the meeting, publish the final plan, and file required documentation. The board also discussed follow-up work on the village ffordable-housing obligations, which will be revisited by the planning and zoning commission in January for a recommendation to the board.
The ordinance takes immediate effect as adopted by the board; staff will post the corrected document on the village website.
