The Kane County Commission approved Ordinance 2026‑04 to allow limited commercial uses at the Old Port property under a development agreement that keeps the parcel zoned agricultural, caps revenue‑generating units at 60, and makes approval contingent on applicant ownership and a written county response to the city’s objections.

The Board unanimously approved a temporary interlocal agreement allowing Punta Gorda to purchase up to 0.5 million gallons per day of treated water to accommodate development while the city expands its supply. County staff and legal counsel said the term will end when the city certifies an independent supply or after six years unless extended by双方.

Council members debate commercial zoning impacts near residential neighborhoods and seek compromises.

Developer agrees to pay for traffic improvements on Twelfth Street and nearby corridors.
