[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
(See 65 ILCS 5/11-13-14 for additional restrictions.)
The Village Board of Trustees may, from time to time, on its
own motion, on petition of any person or persons in interest, or on
initial recommendation of the Board of Zoning Appeals, amend, supplement
or repeal the regulations and provisions of this code.
Any such proposed amendment or change, when initiated by the
Village Board of Trustees or by individual petition, shall be referred
to the Zoning Board of Appeals for an advisory report thereon. When
a proposed amendment or change is initiated by the Zoning Board of
Appeals, said advisory report shall accompany the initial recommendation
of the Board of Zoning Appeals.
Before giving an advisory report or an initial recommendation
on any proposed amendment, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall first
conduct a public hearing thereon, the date and place of which shall
be fixed in advance by the Board of Zoning Appeals at any regular
or special meeting. Notice of the time and date of such hearing and
a brief summary or explanation of the subject matter of the hearing
shall be given by publishing one notice thereof in a newspaper of
general circulation in the Village, such publication to be made not
more than 30 days nor less than 15 days prior to the public hearing.
Any notice required by this section need not include a metes-and-bounds
legal description, provided that the notice includes: 1) the common
street address or addresses and 2) the property index number ("PIN")
or numbers of all the parcels of real property contained in the affected
area.
After receiving the advisory report from the Board of Zoning
Appeals and before acting on any proposed amendment, the Village Board
of Trustees shall hold a public hearing on the proposed amendment
at the next regular meeting of the Village Board of Trustees, unless
the Village Board of Trustees shall otherwise specifically order that
such hearing by it be held at a subsequent regular or special meeting.
Notice of the time and place of the public hearing before the Village
Board of Trustees shall be made not more than 30 days nor less than
15 days prior to the hearing in a newspaper of general circulation
in the Village. Any notice required by this section need not include
a metes-and-bounds legal description, provided that the notice includes:
1) the common street address or addresses and 2) the property index
number ("PIN") or numbers of all the parcels of real property contained
in the affected area.
A.Â
All proposed amendments to this code shall be filed with the Soil
and Water Conservation Board as required by law.
B.Â
The favorable vote of at least 2/3 of all the members of the Village
Board shall be required to pass an amendment to this code when the
proposed amendment is opposed, in writing, by 20% of the owners of
the frontage directly opposite the frontage proposed to be altered,
the owners of 20% of the frontage proposed to be altered, or by the
owners of 20% of the frontage immediately adjoining or across an alley
therefrom.
Fees for individual applications for rezoning of lands or applications for any other proposed change shall be set from time to time by the Board of Trustees by resolution. In any case, the applicant must reimburse the Village for the cost of notice required in § 360-60C prior to the date of the hearing.
