A significant new development proposal, known as Charles Farm, is under consideration within the Geneva 304 School District boundaries. The project, submitted by Pulte Homes, encompasses nearly 1,000 acres and is planned to unfold in six phases. The proposal includes a mix of residential options, notably a Del Webb age-restricted community designed for homeowners aged 55 and older, which will feature approximately 967 homes. This community will not accommodate children, meaning residents will not contribute to the school district's enrollment.

In addition to the Del Webb community, the development plans to include 846 single-family homes and 198 townhomes, primarily situated near LaFox Center. Approximately 75% of the proposed units fall within the Geneva 304 School District, while the remaining units would be assigned to the St. Charles 303 School District.

The project has a complex history, with previous proposals for the area—such as the Settlements of LaFox and Grand Reserve—failing to materialize. The current proposal is set against a backdrop of mixed community sentiment, with some residents advocating for development and others expressing concerns about preserving green space.

The St. Charles Plan Commission is scheduled to discuss the annexation proposal on September 4, with further deliberations planned for the following week. The outcome of these meetings will be crucial, as the city’s support for annexation is a key factor in the project's progression. If approved, the development could have significant implications for local infrastructure and school enrollment, particularly as the first phases are expected to begin yielding new students for the Geneva 304 School District in the coming years.
