Review of Minutes from 2022 Annual Meeting

Commissioners reviewed the minutes of the 2021 Annual Meeting.

Mr. Asselmeier noted that proposed regulations of markets was discussed at the 2022 Annual Meeting. The decision was subsequently made not to make any text changes to the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to markets.

Request for Plan Amendments

Updating the Land Resource Management Plan in Its Entirety (Including Amendments to the Text of the Land Resource Management Plan to Update Population Numbers and Population Projections to Reflect 2020 Census Information)

Mr. Asselmeier said that discussion occurred at the 2022 Annual Meeting regarding updating the Plan to reflect the 2020 Census numbers. The County was waiting for CMAP to update their population projects for the County. While the County was waiting for those numbers, discussion occurred regarding updating the Plan in its entirety. The funding for updating the Plan was not included in the budget for the current fiscal year and there have been some questions regarding CMAP’s population projections. The Department will work to see if funding can be restored and will see if CMAP updates the population projections.

Updating the Future Land Use Map to Reflect Agricultural Conservation Areas Mr. Asselmeier provided maps of the proposed Agricultural Conservation Areas. Mr. Asselmeier explained the process of establishing Agricultural Conservation Areas. If the County Board approves the Agricultural Conservation Areas, the Future Land Use Map will be examined to make sure that land uses conflicting with agriculture are removed from the lands within the Agricultural Conservation Areas and on properties near the Agricultural Conservation Areas.

Zoning Ordinance Amendments Pertaining to Commercial Solar and Wind Energy Systems Mr. Asselmeier summarized the issue.

In January 2023, the Illinois General Assembly approved and the Governor signed House Bill 4412 pertaining to commercial wind and solar energy systems. If the County wishes to have regulations governing commercial solar energy facilities and commercial wind energy facilities, the attached amendments to the Kendall County Zoning Ordinance would be required.

General proposed changes were as follows:

1. Various definitions related to solar and wind energy facilities will need to be amended, added, and deleted. Many terms are defined in State law and were referenced as such. The definitions of solar farm and solar gardens were removed. The definitions of solar energy system, private and wind energy system, small were adjusted to reflect State law. Onsite consumption would include energy generated within a subdivision, planned development, or business park and consumed within the development.

2. Small wind energy systems would remain conditional uses in the A-1, R-1, R-2, RPD, Business, and Manufacturing Districts. Solar energy system, private would become permitted uses in all zoning districts.

3. Commercial solar energy facilities, test solar energy systems, commercial energy wind facilities and test wind towers would become special uses in the A-1, R-1, RPD Districts, and Manufacturing Districts.

Mr. Koukol asked if this proposal would impact the projects currently proposed. Mr. Asselmeier said that projects have to follow the rules in place at the time of application submittal.

4. Adding a statement that the regulations do not apply to commercial wind energy facilities within one point five (1.5) miles of a municipality, unless the County has an Intergovernmental Agreement with the municipality to provide zoning services to the municipality. Staff would like to add a requirement that solar and wind energy facilities within one point five (1.5) miles of a municipality must either annex to the municipality or enter into a pre-annexation agreement with the municipality using the Chatham annexation rules.

Mr. Nelson asked if a municipality could claim a property within its one point five (1.5) mile planning and be back in control of local regulation. Mr. Asselmeier noted the distinction in State law between commercial wind and commercial solar regulations. Mr. Asselmeier stated the Staff’s position favoring municipal annexations of both commercial wind and commercial solar projects because the Staff does not want to prevent municipalities from growing. Staff also believed that it would be better for municipalities to secure necessary easements and rights-of-way at the beginning of projects. The State law only amended the County Code.

Ms. Wilson asked what happens if a solar or wind entity did not want to annex or enter into a pre-annexation agreement. Mr. Asselmeier responded that a situation like that could lead to litigation.

Mr. Casey asked for a definition of commercial. Mr. Asselmeier responded that commercial meant projects where the energy produced was consumed off-premises. Wind and solar projects where the energy was generated and consumed on-premises would not be impacted directly by the proposal.

Mr. Asselmeier said that, per the new State law, if the commercial solar or wind project met State law, the proposal had to be approved.

5. Add a requirement that the County Board shall make its decision on the application not more than thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the public hearing.

6. A determination will need to be made if the County wants to allow smaller setbacks than allowed under the law. As proposed, the setbacks would follow State law.

7. A determination will need to be made if the County will allow changes in setbacks, certain height requirements for solar, and fencing requirements if nonparticipating property owners consent to these requirements. As proposed, the change would be allowed to occur if documentation was provided at the time of application submittal.

8. A determination will need to be made if the County wants to allow sound limitations for wind towers less restrictive than the regulations set forth by the Illinois Pollution Control Board. As proposed, sound regulations would follow State law.

9. A determination will need to be made if agricultural impact mitigation agreements have to be submitted with the application.

10. The County’s landscaping requirements will need to be adjusted to reflect the law.

11. Statements requiring compliance with EcoCat reports, Fish and Wildlife Service reports, and Illinois State Historic Preservation consultations be added to the Zoning Ordinance.

12. Statements regarding road use agreements will need to be adjusted to reflect the bill.

13. A determination will need to be made regarding enforcement of damaged drain systems.

Counties are required to amend their ordinances within one hundred twenty (120) days of the signing of the bill.

A redlined version of the proposal was provided. The new law was also provided. Initiation of the proposed amendments were likely to occur at the February Planning, Building and Zoning Committee meeting.

Mr. Nelson asked if there will any other projects proposed in the County besides the project outside Plano. Mr. Asselmeier responded yes and all, but one (1) of them, were adjacent to a municipality.

Zoning Ordinance Amendments Pertaining to Chickens in Residential Zoning District Mr. Asselmeier provided a table outlining residential chicken regulations within unincorporated Kendall County, the counties surrounding Kendall County, and the municipalities within Kendall County.

Zoning Ordinance Amendments Pertaining to Major and Minor Special Use Amendment Criteria

Mr. Asselmeier provided a redlined proposal changing what constituted a major and minor amendments. He noted that County Administrator Scott Koeppel was against changing the text of the Zoning Ordinance.

Mr. Nelson asked how the ten percent (10%) figure was determined. Mr. Asselmeier said that the County can do administrative variances of ten percent (10%) or less under State law. The figure probably came from the variance figure in State law. Mr. Nelson said the County should consider raising the ten percent (10%). This proposal will be brought back up at a future Regional Planning Commission meeting.
