1 | AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||

| ||||||

5 | 5-12014 as follows:
| ||||||

| ||||||
7 | Sec. 5-12014. Amendment of regulations and districts.
| ||||||
8 | (a) For
purposes of this Section, the term "text amendment" | ||||||
9 | means an amendment to
the text of a zoning ordinance, which | ||||||
10 | affects the whole county, and the
term "map amendment" means an | ||||||
11 | amendment to the map of a zoning ordinance,
which affects an | ||||||
12 | individual parcel or parcels of land.
| ||||||
13 | (b) The regulations imposed and the districts created under | ||||||
14 | the
authority of this Division may be amended from time to time | ||||||
15 | by ordinance or
resolution, after the ordinance or resolution | ||||||
16 | establishing same has gone
into effect, but no such amendments | ||||||
17 | shall be made without a hearing
before the board of appeals. At | ||||||
18 | least 15 days notice of the time and
place of such hearing | ||||||
19 | shall be published in a newspaper of general
circulation | ||||||
20 | published in such county. Hearings on text amendments shall
be | ||||||
21 | held in the court house of the county or other county building | ||||||
22 | with more
adequate facilities for such hearings. Hearings on | ||||||
23 | map amendments shall be
held in the township or road district |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | affected by the terms of such
proposed amendment or in the | ||||||
2 | court house, or other county building with
more adequate | ||||||
3 | facilities for such hearings, of the county in which the
| ||||||
4 | affected township or road district is located. Provided, that | ||||||
5 | if the owner
of any property affected by such proposed map | ||||||
6 | amendment so requests in
writing, such hearing shall be held in | ||||||
7 | the township or road district
affected by the terms of such | ||||||
8 | proposed amendment. Except as provided in
subsection (c), text | ||||||
9 | amendments may be passed at a county board meeting by
a simple | ||||||
10 | majority of the elected county board members, unless written
| ||||||
11 | protests against the proposed text amendment are signed by 5% | ||||||
12 | of the land
owners of the county, in which case such amendment | ||||||
13 | shall not be passed
except by the favorable vote of 3/4 of all | ||||||
14 | the members of the county board.
Except as provided in | ||||||
15 | subsection (c), map amendments may be passed at a
county board | ||||||
16 | meeting by a simple majority of the elected county board
| ||||||
17 | members, except that in case of written protest against any | ||||||
18 | proposed map
amendment that is either: (A) signed by the owner | ||||||
19 | or owners of at least 20%
of the land to be rezoned, or (B) | ||||||
20 | signed by the owner or owners of land
immediately touching, or | ||||||
21 | immediately across a street, alley, or public
right-of-way | ||||||
22 | from, at least 20% of the perimeter of the land to be rezoned,
| ||||||
23 | or in cases where the land affected lies within 1 1/2 miles
of | ||||||
24 | the limits of a zoned municipality, or in the case of a | ||||||
25 | proposed text
amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, by resolution | ||||||
26 | of the corporate
authorities of the zoned municipality with |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | limits nearest adjacent,
filed with the county clerk, such | ||||||
2 | amendment shall not be passed except
by the favorable vote of | ||||||
3 | 3/4 of all the members of the county board, but
in counties in | ||||||
4 | which the county board consists of 3 members only a 2/3
vote is | ||||||
5 | required. In such cases, a copy of the written protest shall be
| ||||||
6 | served by the protestor or protestors on the applicant for the | ||||||
7 | proposed
amendment and a copy upon the applicant's attorney, if | ||||||
8 | any, by certified
mail at the address of such applicant and | ||||||
9 | attorney shown in the
application for the proposed amendment.
| ||||||
10 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, if a map | ||||||
11 | amendment is
proposed solely to correct an error made by the | ||||||
12 | county as a result of a
comprehensive rezoning by the county, | ||||||
13 | the map amendments may be passed at a
county board meeting by a | ||||||
14 | simple majority of the elected board.
| ||||||
15 | Any notice required by this Section need
not include a | ||||||
16 | metes and bounds legal description, provided that
the notice | ||||||
17 | includes: (i) the common street address or addresses
and (ii) | ||||||
18 | the property index number ("PIN") or numbers of all
the parcels | ||||||
19 | of real property contained in the area for which
the variation | ||||||
20 | is requested. | ||||||
21 | (c) If a township located within a county with a population | ||||||
22 | of less
than 600,000 has a plan commission and the plan | ||||||
23 | commission objects to a
text amendment or a map amendment | ||||||
24 | affecting an unincorporated area of the
township, then the | ||||||
25 | township board of trustees may submit its written
objections to | ||||||
26 | the county board within 30 days after the hearing before the
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | board of appeals, in which case the county board may not adopt | ||||||
2 | the text
amendment or the map amendment affecting an | ||||||
3 | unincorporated area of the
township except by the favorable | ||||||
4 | vote of at least three-fourths of all the
members of the county | ||||||
5 | board.
