# Zoning Board of Appeals - Zoning Hearing, 10-15-26


**Body:** McHenry County Meetings
**Date:** October 14, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

At its October 15, 2026 zoning hearing, the McHenry County Zoning Board of Appeals considered a map amendment for approximately 45 acres at 15815 Nichols Road in Hebron, requested by the Judith Lynn Schwark Gallo 2004 Trust. The request would reclassify approximately 14 acres from A1 to A2 agricultural zoning, leaving approximately 31 acres in A1, to allow separate parcels for estate-planning purposes. The petitioner stated that the existing homestead and farming uses would continue without physical changes. Staff reported that the surrounding zoning and land uses are agricultural and that the request aligns with the county’s comprehensive plan.

The board voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the amendment, which will go to the County Board. Required application materials and fees had been received. No procurement, contract, or spending activity was identified.
