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 Counties Code is amended by changing Section | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | 5-12009.5 as follows:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | (55 ILCS 5/5-12009.5)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | Sec. 5-12009.5. Special uses.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | (a) The county board may, by an ordinance passed under this | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | Division,
provide
for
the classification of special uses. Those | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | uses may include, but are not
limited to, public and | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | quasi-public uses affecting the public interest;
uses that have | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | a unique, special, or unusual impact upon the use or enjoyment
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | of neighboring property; and uses that affect planned | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | development. A use may
be permitted in one or more zoning | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | districts and may be a special use in one or
more other zoning | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | districts.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | (b) A special use may be granted only after a public | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | hearing conducted by
the
board of
appeals. There must be at | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | least 15 days' notice before the hearing. The
notice
must | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | include the time, place, and date of the hearing and must be | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | published in
a
newspaper published in the township or road | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | district where the property is
located. If there is no | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | newspaper published in the township or road district
where the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | property is located,
the notice must be published in a | ||||||
2 | newspaper of general circulation in the
county. The notice must | ||||||
3 | also contain (i) the particular location of the
property for | ||||||
4 | which the special use is requested by legal
description and by | ||||||
5 | street address, or if there is no street address, by
locating | ||||||
6 | the property with reference to any well-known landmark, | ||||||
7 | highway,
road, thoroughfare, or intersection; (ii) whether the | ||||||
8 | petitioner or
applicant is acting for himself or herself or as | ||||||
9 | an agent, alter ego, or
representative of a principal and the | ||||||
10 | name and address of the principal; (iii)
whether the petitioner | ||||||
11 | or applicant is a corporation, and if so, the correct
names and | ||||||
12 | addresses of all officers and
directors of the corporation and | ||||||
13 | of all stockholders or shareholders owning any
interest in | ||||||
14 | excess
of 20% of all of the
outstanding stock or shares of the | ||||||
15 | corporation; (iv) whether the petitioner or
applicant, or his | ||||||
16 | or her principal, is a business or entity doing business
under | ||||||
17 | an assumed name, and if so, the name and residence of all | ||||||
18 | actual
owners of the business or entity; (v) whether the | ||||||
19 | petitioner or applicant,
or his or her principal, is a
| ||||||
20 | partnership, joint venture, syndicate, or an unincorporated | ||||||
21 | voluntary
association, and if so, the names and addresses of | ||||||
22 | all partners or members of
the partnership, joint venture, | ||||||
23 | syndicate, or unincorporated voluntary
association; and
(vi) a | ||||||
24 | brief statement of the proposed special use.
| ||||||
25 | In addition to any other notice required by this Section, | ||||||
26 | the board of
appeals must give at least 15 days' notice before |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the hearing to (i)
any
municipality whose boundaries are within | ||||||
2 | 1-1/2 miles of any part of the
property proposed as a special | ||||||
3 | use and (ii) the owner or owners of any land
adjacent to or | ||||||
4 | immediately across any street,
alley, or public right-of-way | ||||||
5 | from the property proposed as a special use.
| ||||||
6 | The petitioner or applicant must pay the cost of the | ||||||
7 | publication
of the notice required by this Section.
| ||||||
8 | (c) A special use may be granted only upon evidence that | ||||||
9 | the special use
meets
the standards established for that | ||||||
10 | classification in the ordinance. The
special use may be subject | ||||||
11 | to conditions
reasonably necessary to meet those standards.
| ||||||
12 | (d) The board of appeals shall
report to the county board a | ||||||
13 | finding of fact and a recommendation as to whether
the
county | ||||||
14 | board should deny, grant, or grant subject to conditions the | ||||||
15 | special
use. The county board may, by ordinance and without a | ||||||
16 | further public hearing,
adopt any proposed special use on | ||||||
17 | receiving the report or it may refer the
proposal back to the | ||||||
18 | board of appeals for further consideration.
| ||||||
19 | (e) The county board may, by ordinance, delegate to the | ||||||
20 | board of appeals the
authority to grant special uses subject to | ||||||
21 | the restrictions and requirements
of this Section. The | ||||||
22 | ordinance may delegate the authority to grant all
special uses | ||||||
23 | or to grant only certain classes of special uses while | ||||||
24 | reserving
to the county board the authority to grant other | ||||||
25 | classes of special uses. If
the county board enacts an | ||||||
26 | ordinance delegating its authority, the board of
appeals must, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | after conducting the required public hearing,
issue a finding | ||||||
2 | of fact and final decision in writing on the proposed special
| ||||||
3 | use.
| ||||||
4 | (f) On and after the effective date of this amendatory Act | ||||||
5 | of the 95th General Assembly, a special use permit may not be | ||||||
6 | granted for a term of more than 5 years. Special use permits | ||||||
7 | granted before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the | ||||||
8 | 95th General Assembly expire 5 years after that effective date. | ||||||
9 | A subsequent special use permit may be granted as otherwise | ||||||
10 | provided under this Section. Establishing time limits on the | ||||||
11 | terms of special use permits is an exclusive power and function | ||||||
12 | of the State. This subsection is a denial and limitation under
| ||||||
13 | subsection (h) of
Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois | ||||||
14 | Constitution on the exercise by home
rule units of powers and | ||||||
15 | functions exercised by the State. | ||||||
16 | (Source: P.A. 90-175, eff. 1-1-98; 91-334, eff. 7-29-99.)
| ||||||
17 | Section 10. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by | ||||||
18 | changing Section 11-13-1.1 as follows:
| ||||||
19 | (65 ILCS 5/11-13-1.1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-13-1.1)
| ||||||
20 | Sec. 11-13-1.1. | ||||||
21 | (a) The corporate authorities of any municipality may in | ||||||
22 | its
ordinances passed under the authority of this Division 13 | ||||||
23 | provide for the
classification of special uses. Such uses may | ||||||
24 | include but are not limited
to public and quasi-public uses |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | affected with the public interest, uses
which may have a | ||||||
2 | unique, special or unusual impact upon the use or
enjoyment of | ||||||
3 | neighboring property, and planned developments. A use may be a
| ||||||
4 | permitted use in one or more zoning districts, and a special | ||||||
5 | use in one or
more other zoning districts. A special use shall | ||||||
6 | be permitted only after a
public hearing before some commission | ||||||
7 | or committee designated by the
corporate authorities, with | ||||||
8 | prior notice thereof given in the manner as
provided in Section | ||||||
9 | 11-13-6 and 11-13-7. A special use shall be permitted
only upon | ||||||
10 | evidence that such use meets standards established for such
| ||||||
11 | classification in the ordinances, and the granting of | ||||||
12 | permission therefor
may be subject to conditions reasonably | ||||||
13 | necessary to meet such standards.
In addition, any proposed | ||||||
14 | special use which fails to receive the approval
of the | ||||||
15 | commission or committee designated by the corporate | ||||||
16 | authorities to
hold the public hearing shall not be approved by | ||||||
17 | the corporate authorities
except by a favorable majority vote | ||||||
18 | of all aldermen, commissioners or
trustees of the municipality | ||||||
19 | then holding office; however, the corporate
authorities may by | ||||||
20 | ordinance increase the vote requirement to two-thirds of
all | ||||||
21 | aldermen, commissioners or trustees of the municipality then | ||||||
22 | holding office.
| ||||||
23 | (b) On and after the effective date of this amendatory Act | ||||||
24 | of the 95th General Assembly, a special use permit may not be | ||||||
25 | granted for a term of more than 5 years. Special use permits | ||||||
26 | granted before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 95th General Assembly expire 5 years after that effective date. | ||||||
2 | A subsequent special use permit may be granted as otherwise | ||||||
3 | provided under this Section. Establishing time limits on the | ||||||
4 | terms of special use permits is an exclusive power and function | ||||||
5 | of the State. This subsection is a denial and limitation under
| ||||||
6 | subsection (h) of
Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois | ||||||
7 | Constitution on the exercise by home
rule units of powers and | ||||||
8 | functions exercised by the State. | ||||||

| ||||||
10 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
11 | becoming law.
