I am new to the site and wanted to know if anyone has any further information on the status of the McHenry county board changing the ordianace to allow a small amount of backyard chickens in R1 zoning. I would like to become involved in the movement to get change accomplished.

Check this thread, you should find a number of McHenry folk there along with discussion of various town and county regulations:

This thread will put you in touch with other McHenry residents:

You can also send them private messages if they don't respond to posts there, since it is a one year old thread.

I also found this thread, perhaps of interest if you're near Round Lake:

Check out Mchenry County UDO. There is information regarding chickens on page 191. Let us know what you think.

Soi just got off the phone with Darrel in planning and development and he was super nice and gave me a bunch of info in regards to the unified delvelopnent ordinance draft.


The first meeting with the zoning board of appeals who over look the draft set forward by the village will be on sept. 19,20,and 26,27th this is for administrators of the county but before the meeting the public can voice their opinions. After a second draft is made there will be a public meeting which has not been set yet. We can voice our opinions now by emailing the county board members. The head member is Tina Hill who can be found the the county web site. We can also check the progress of everything going on at camiros.com/mchenrycoudo if you have any othe questions let me know I will be in touch with them as this goes on. Hope this give all of us a little hope as to finally getting this changed.

Lets use McHenry Co. IL Ordinance Change as our primary thread so we don't have to keep checking three.
