The Shops at Pheasant Run

Applications for Special Use for Planned Unit Development (PUD) and PUD Preliminary Plan have been filed by SC Landman LLC for the 33.7-acre site at the former Pheasant Run Resort property. The property is located at the southeast corner of E Main Street and Kautz Road, addressed as 4051 E Main Street. 

The City reviewed a Concept Plan for this project in December 2025. (The Concept Plan was reviewed by Plan Commission on December 2, 2025 and City Council Committee on December 8, 2025. The meeting pages include links to the Agenda packet and Video Recording.)

A commercial redevelopment is proposed, consisting of 14 commercial lots intended for a variety of service, retail, and restaurant uses. Submitted plans include development of 6 of the 14 lots, which include Chase Bank, Valvoline, Dutch Bros, and three multi-tenant buildings. A future car dealership is intended for Lot 14. 

The Zoning Applications, Preliminary Plans, Building Elevations, and Traffic Study can be viewed on the Project Documents menu. 

The St. Charles Plan Commission held a public hearing on July 21, 2026. Plan Commission closed the public hearing and recommended approval with conditions.

The applications were reviewed by the City Council Committee of the Whole on August 3, 2026 and August 17, 2026.

***9/17/26 UPDATE*** City Council Committee of the Whole will discuss the project on September 21, 2026 at 7:00pm (meeting agenda will be posted to City website on 9/18/26).

The applicant has modified the PUD request for consideration by the Committee. The PUD Ordinance under consideration can be viewed on the Project Documents menu. Proposed revisions include the following:

  • Drive-Through Facilities:
    • Up to 6 drive-through facilities total as permitted uses; permitted on Lots 1-6, 11-13.
      • This includes the 5 drive-throughs shown on the PUD Preliminary Plans, plus 1 additional drive-through.
      • Any drive-throughs in excess of 6 would be subject to future Special Use review.
      • Lots 7-10 at the center of the site will be reserved for non drive-through uses for a period of 30 months following PUD approval. This is intended to provide time for the developer to pursue non-drive-through uses, such as a grocery store, fitness center, or entertainment uses.
  • Car Wash:
    • Prohibited on Lots 1-10
    • Can be requested as a Special Use on Lots 11-13, subject to future Special Use review.
  • Car Dealership- Lot 14:
  • Lot 14 to be reserved for car dealership use for 5 years following PUD approval. 
  • Lot can be used for dealership inventory in the interim.
  • Option to request the City Council lift the use restriction for a specific project after 3 years.
  • If proposed as a Gas Station in the future, limited to: no more than 3 truck fueling positions at the rear of the lot; no truck parking; no truck stop facilities of any kind.

After the Committee of the Whole provides a recommendation, a final vote will be scheduled for a subsequent City Council meeting.
