Committee Meetings - June 22, 2026

Adcock Estates Rezoning and Subdivision Approved, Future Land Use Map Updated
The committee discussed and approved a planned use application and zoning amendment for Adcock Estates. This involves rezoning a parcel from B2 General Business District to SR3 single-family residence dwelling district and subdividing it into two lots. The future land use map will also be updated to reflect this change. Additionally, a resolution accepting the minor subdivision of the property into two lots, to be zoned SR3, was recommended for approval. There was a discussion regarding the type of housing that could be built, including prefabs, and the need to update the zoning code to address similar architecture.
Windsor Creek Phase 6 Annexation and Planned Use Approved for 92 Single-Family Homes
The committee reviewed and approved the planned use for Windsor Creek Phase 6, which includes annexation into the city of O'Fallon and rezoning to SR1BP, Planned Single-Family Residence Dwelling District, to construct 92 single-family homes. A pre-annexation agreement for this phase was also approved, and an ordinance annexing the land into the city was subsequently passed. The development will consist of 92 lots and three outlots, with lot sizes ranging from 10,000 to 34,700 square feet. The project is planned in three phases, with the first phase involving 30 homes. Staff recommended development approval with conditions, including compliance with SR1B zoning regulations and restrictions on subdivision entry sign placement. A clarification was made regarding the fire code requirement for a secondary entrance for subdivisions over 30 homes, which led to a condition limiting the first phase to 30 homes until future connectivity is established.
Business Registration Process Streamlined: Annual Licenses Eliminated, One-Time Fee Introduced
The committee discussed a resolution to amend Title 11, Chapter 110, concerning Business Registrations. The proposed changes aim to eliminate annual commercial and home-based business licenses, which duplicate occupancy inspections and create administrative burdens. Instead, a one-time $50 business registration fee, comparable to peer municipalities, would be implemented and collected with the occupancy permit application. Administration of business licenses would transition to the Community Development Department, with public safety and regulatory oversight maintained through occupancy permits. This change is expected to benefit businesses by reducing paperwork and long-term compliance costs, and benefit the city through streamlined processes and efficient staff resource use. The transition is planned for January 1st, with potential pro-rating of the initial fee for existing businesses.
Motor Fuel Tax Funds Approved for North Seven Hills Road and Hartman Lane Projects
The Public Works Committee discussed a resolution authorizing the city clerk to execute an IDOT form approving the use of motor fuel tax funds totaling $93,590.79 for the North Seven Hills Road resurfacing project. This funding covers the final remaining share owed by the city for a project completed six years prior. The original estimated cost was $600,000, but bids came in higher at $770,000. Federal funding covered $430,000, and the township contributed $60,000, leaving this amount for the city's final payment to IDOT. The committee also reviewed a second resolution authorizing the mayor and city clerk to execute an IDOT engineering services agreement with Oates Associates Inc. for $48,408 for the Hartman Lane patching project, utilizing motor fuel tax funds. This project will patch Hartman Lane from Central Park south to Meadowbrook, a portion of the road within city jurisdiction. The engineering agreement will provide plans for bidding and construction, with the hope of completing the project next year, potentially pushed to 2028 depending on IDOT timing.
Indigo Apartments Planned Use Amendment Discussed, Parking Variance Requested
The committee discussed a planned use amendment for Central Park Mixed Use Development Phase 2, to be known as Indigo Apartments. This amendment allows for 240 multi-family apartment units, the same number as previously approved, but now distributed across six buildings instead of one, along with a pool and clubhouse. The property remains zoned B1P at 1235 Central Park Drive, covering 12.39 acres. A key aspect of the discussion involved a parking variance request, seeking 1.3 spaces per dwelling unit (312 total) instead of the required 2 per unit (480 total), a reduction of 168 spaces. The combined parking for the Artisan and Indigo complexes will be 513 spaces. Concerns were raised about the reduced parking, potential impact on students from the nearby Central School, and the lack of specified biking/walking paths. Staff noted that the development of multiple buildings on one parcel constitutes a change in planned use. The amendment was presented without a formal vote, to be forwarded directly to the City Council.
