Whenever the public necessity, convenience,
general welfare or good zoning practice requires, the Village Board
may, by ordinance, change the district boundaries established by this
chapter and the Zoning Map incorporated herein and/or the Supplementary
Floodland Zoning Map incorporated herein or amend, change or supplement
the text of the regulations established by this chapter or amendments
thereto. Such change or amendment shall be subject to the review and
recommendation of the Plan Commission.
The Village Board, the Plan Commission, the
Zoning Board of Appeals and other government bodies and any private
petitioners may apply for an amendment to the text of this chapter
or to the district boundaries hereby established or by amendments
hereto in the accompanying Zoning Map made a part of this chapter
and/or the Supplementary Floodland Zoning Map to be made a part of
this chapter by reference.

Request for changes. Petitions for any change to the
district boundaries and map(s) or amendments to the text regulations
shall be addressed to the Village Board and shall be filed with the
Zoning Administrator, describe the premises to be rezoned or the portions
of text regulations to be amended, list the reasons justifying the
petition, specify the proposed use, if applicable, and have attached
the following, if the petition is for change of district boundaries:
(1)

be given to the clerk of any municipality within 1,000 feet of any
