When the Planning and Development Committee of the McHenry County Board meets 8:30 a.m. Thursday morning in the County Administration Building, a couple discussion items are included on the agenda. One, Administrative Adjudication, has been discussed in prior committee meetings. A slightly revised process regarding code violations is to be considered.
A second discussion matter is Ag Tourism since the present County Zoning Ordinance does not provide a definition of Agricultural Tourism. However, there is a considerable amount of that taking place in the county. At times it seems to be more than Ag Tourism is taking place when horse racing sneaks in. A definition of Ag Tourism has been lacking and the Committee hope to resolve that matter shortly.
Another discussion item is Conditional Use list which provides the number of Conditional Use permits in each of the 17 townships. A total of 552 active conditional uses are in effect in the county. However, 75 of them are for work in a flood hazard area. This conditional use was discontinued following the adoption of the Stormwater Management Ordinance.
Actions may also be taken on recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Department staff for the revision of fines for a number of violations.
