Trustees pass resolution supporting local control, opposing proposed statewide zoning oversight
Summary
The Barrington Hills Board adopted Resolution 26‑04 on March 30 to express support for municipal zoning control and to oppose a proposed statewide approach that would add third‑party reviewers and reduce local zoning authority.
The Barrington Hills Board of Trustees voted March 30 to adopt Resolution 26‑04 in support of preserving municipal zoning authority and opposing a proposed Illinois legislative approach that would standardize accessory‑dwelling and zoning review at the state level.
A speaker identified as Patrick outlined the proposal’s intent to create statewide building or zoning standards and a third‑party reviewer mechanism that, he said, could effectively shift zoning control away from local elected bodies. He said the Illinois Municipal League and other municipal groups oppose the approach because it could limit local governments’ ability to preserve community character.
Trustees stated they would oppose the measure and voted on a motion to adopt the resolution. The resolution was carried by roll call.
