| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Highway Advertising Control Act of 1971 is | 5 | | amended by changing Section 3.12 as follows:
| 6 | | (225 ILCS 440/3.12) (from Ch. 121, par. 503.12)
| 7 | | Sec. 3.12. (a) "Business area" means any part of an area | 8 | | adjacent to and
within 660 feet of the right-of-way which is at | 9 | | any time zoned for business,
commercial or industrial | 10 | | activities under the authority of any law of this
State; or not | 11 | | so zoned, but which constitutes an unzoned commercial or
| 12 | | industrial area as defined in Section 3.11. However, as to | 13 | | signs along
Interstate highways, the term "business area" | 14 | | includes only areas which
are within incorporated limits of any | 15 | | city, village, or incorporated town,
as such limits existed on | 16 | | September 21, 1959, and which are zoned for
industrial or | 17 | | commercial use, or both, or to portions of Interstate highways
| 18 | | which traverse other areas where the land use, as of September | 19 | | 21, l959,
was established by State law as industrial or | 20 | | commercial, or both. | 21 | | With respect to signs owned or leased by the State or a | 22 | | political subdivision or on property for which either the State | 23 | | or a political subdivision determines a benefit , an area zoned |
| | | HB3319 | - 2 - | LRB097 10764 CEL 51173 b |
|
| 1 | | for business, commercial, or industrial activities that is | 2 | | adjacent to and within 660 feet of (i) an Interstate highway | 3 | | and that is in Township 41 North, Range 10 East of the Third | 4 | | Principal Meridian, or (ii) a toll highway in the Cities of Des | 5 | | Plaines and Elmhurst or in the Villages of Hoffman Estates, | 6 | | Rosemont, and Indian Head Park, shall be deemed a "business | 7 | | area" for purposes of this Act. This zoning must have been a | 8 | | part of comprehensive zoning and not have been created | 9 | | primarily to permit outdoor advertising structures as | 10 | | described in 23 CFR 750. | 11 | | (b) The changes to this Section made by this amendatory Act | 12 | | of the 95th General Assembly are intended to comply with the | 13 | | federal Highway Beautification Act of 1965, 23 U.S.C. 131, and | 14 | | the regulations promulgated thereunder by the Secretary of the | 15 | | United States Department of Transportation. To the extent that | 16 | | the Secretary of the United States Department of Transportation | 17 | | or any court finds the changes to this Section made by this | 18 | | amendatory Act to be inconsistent with or preempted by such law | 19 | | or regulations, the changes shall be repealed to the extent | 20 | | necessary to cure such inconsistency or preemption. | 21 | | (c) The provisions of this amendatory Act of the 95th | 22 | | General Assembly shall not be applicable if such application | 23 | | would impact the receipt, use, or reimbursement of federal | 24 | | funds by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
