Kane County conditionally renews residential CUP for five glamping sites, limits initial build to one unit
Summary
The Kane County Administrative Land Use Authority granted a conditional renewal of a residential Conditional Use Permit allowing five glamping sites on a 10-acre parcel, but limited initial construction to one unit until infrastructure upgrades and county health-department septic approval are completed; a 24/7 on-site manager is required.
On April 8, 2026 the Kane County Administrative Land Use Authority conditionally approved a renewal of a residential Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Lincoln Bradshaw to operate five glamping sites on Parcel 3-5-35-8 (10 acres). Administrator Shannon McBride treated the application as a residential CUP because of an earlier commercial approval and placed several conditions on the approval.
The Authority's conditions limit initial development to one glamping unit until required infrastructure upgrades are finished and the county receives health-department approval for septic use. The CUP also requires a 24/7 on-site manager to be in place before additional units are constructed. The action was recorded as a conditional approval; the transcript does not record a formal mover/second or vote tally.
The application parcel is listed as 10 acres, with the proposed glamping use to occupy approximately 5 acres when fully developed. The Administrator's conditions tie any expansion beyond the single initial unit to satisfactory completion of infrastructure work and health-department sign-off, making the next steps contingent on development and public-health approvals.
