Help shape future development in the Village

downtown building [ [link removed] ] With help from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, the Village of Oswego has embarked on a community-based process to update and modernize the Village's Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances to create a Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) [ [link removed] ].

The planning process aligns Oswego's development regulations, land-use practices, and community vision with its adopted Comprehensive Plan. Topics to be addressed through the UDO project include zoning district updates, uses, subdivision standards, zoning applications (special uses, variances, amendments, etc.), parking, landscaping and definitions.

Staff will be present to answer questions on the UDO at the following events:


* October 14, 4:30-8 p.m. Oswego High School vs. Oswego East High School (OEHS) football game, OEHS, 1525 Harvey Rd.
* October 16, noon-3 p.m., Pumpkin Pick-Up, Venue 1012, 1012 Station Dr.
* October 19, 6-8 p.m. UDO Open House, Village Hall, 100 Parkers Mill

Now is the chance to share your feedback. Public input is crucial to developing an ordinance that is driven by the needs and vision of the community. Learn more [ [link removed] ], take the community survey [ [link removed] ] and see plan updates: [link removed] [ [link removed] ]
