5 Approve Resolution 2025-09-29-01 Opposing the Map Amendment and Conditional Use Permit for Certain Property in Nunda Township, unincorporated McHenry County, Illinois (P.I.N. 15-19-351-003)
Resolution to oppose Crystal Lake Solar, LLC's application for a zoning map amendment from B-1 Neighborhood Business District to A-1 Agriculture District and conditional use permit for a commercial solar energy facility on Illinois Route 176. The board determined that the proposed zoning does not serve public health, safety, and welfare, citing proximity to single-family residential areas to the east and west, R-1 zoning to the north and east, and the predominantly residential character of the surrounding area. The board recommends the property remain zoned B-1 and directs the Township Clerk to submit this objection to the McHenry County Zoning Board of Appeals and County Administrator.
Motion: Resolution 2025-09-29-01 adopting the board's opposition to the map amendment and conditional use permit
Approved
