| The Alden Township Land Use Plan (ATLUP) is a general guide
for development with significant impact in the land use
decision-making process. While the ATLUP is a policy document
and does not directly regulate the use of land in the Township,
it is generally implemented through the enforcement of
ordinances, such as the McHenry County Zoning and Subdivision
ordinances, the McHenry County Stormwater Ordinance, and the
decisions of the County Zoning Board of Appeals and County Board
on zoning and planning matters. |
| In April, 2010, the McHenry County Board approved the
McHenry County 2030 Comprehensive Plan which establishes a
vision for McHenry County as well as a set of actionable goals
and objectives that serve as a road map to realizing that
vision. It provides long-range policy recommendations for the
development and redevelopment of the County’s built form and
physical assets as well as for the maintenance and enhancement
of the County’s valued natural resources. The 2030 Plan, its
vision, and recommendations are intended to serve as a general
guide to regional policy and decision making over the course of
the next two decades and into the year 2030. |

| As the Land Use Plan map from the earlier McHenry County
2030 Land Use Plan currently still serves as the “official”
Alden Township Land Use Map for its 2005 Land Use Plan, the
Alden Township Plan Commission will be meeting in 2011 to update
the Alden Township Land Use Plan to reflect the new County 2030
Land Use Map. |
