Planning commission recommends RU‑10 rezoning for three parcels to allow year‑round glamping
Summary
The Kane County Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend changing three parcels from agricultural (AG‑FAA) to RU‑10 to allow low‑density, year‑round glamping/cabin sites; applicant Jeremy Hardman cited existing cabins, municipal water, and safe highway access.
The Kane County Planning Commission voted unanimously Feb. 11 to recommend that County Commissioners rezone three parcels (Parcel #s: 258‑4, 258‑5 & 258‑7) from Agriculture FAA (AG‑FAA) to Rural Ten (RU‑10) to allow low‑density, year‑round lodging such as glamping or cabin sites.
Applicant Jeremy Hardman presented the request, explaining the family ownership and existing four cabins on the properties and saying municipal water, electricity, and fire hydrants are available on site. He described phased growth tied to topography and said unit counts would be limited by the terrain. The parcels’ acreages were listed as 10.78, 11.27 and 11.17 respectively; the rezoning is filed as Ordinance 2026‑02.
Vice‑Chairman Matt Cox opened the public hearing; there were no public comments. Commissioner Doug Heaton moved to recommend approval; Mason Haycock seconded and the vote was unanimous. The commission’s recommendation now goes to the Kane County Commissioners for final action.
The commission record notes staff provided context about the parcels’ rural unimproved subdivision classification and existing infrastructure that distinguishes the site from other AG‑FAA properties. No contested conditions or required engineering plans were recorded at this hearing; further site‑specific requirements may be addressed in subsequent county review.
