| 1 | | AN ACT concerning local government.
|
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 | | Section 5. The Department of Commerce and Economic |
| 5 | | Opportunity Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois |
| 6 | | is amended by adding Section 605-1115 as follows:
|

| 10 | | (a) The General Assembly finds that industrial |
| 11 | | developments typically have regional impacts, both positive |
| 12 | | and negative. Those impacts extend beyond the zoning authority |
| 13 | | of the unit of local government where the development is |
| 14 | | located. Units of local government may experience impacts on |
| 15 | | public health, public safety, the environment, traffic, |
| 16 | | property values, population, and other considerations as a |
| 17 | | result of industrial development occurring outside of the |
| 18 | | their zoning jurisdiction, including areas adjacent to their |
| 19 | | borders. |
| 20 | | (b) The Task Force on Interjurisdictional Industrial |
| 21 | | Zoning Impacts is created within the Department of Commerce |
| 22 | | and Economic Opportunity. The Task Force shall examine the |
| 23 | | following: |

| 4 | | to annexation; |
| 5 | | (3) State and local zoning and annexation laws and |
| 6 | | policies outside of Illinois; |
| 7 | | (4) the potential impacts of large industrial |
| 8 | | developments on neighboring units of local government, |
| 9 | | including how those developments may affect residential |
| 10 | | communities; |
| 11 | | (5) trends in industrial zoning across urban, |
| 12 | | suburban, and rural regions of Illinois; |
| 13 | | (6) available methodologies to determine the impact of |
| 14 | | large industrial developments; and |
| 15 | | (7) outcomes in recent zoning proceedings for large |
| 16 | | industrial developments or attempts to develop properties |
| 17 | | for large industrial purposes, including the recent |
| 18 | | attempt to convert a 101 acre campus in Lake County near |
