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 | ||||||

10 | (a) The General Assembly finds that industrial | ||||||

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 | ||||||

| |||||||
1 | (1) current State and local zoning laws and policies | ||||||
2 | related to large industrial developments; | ||||||
3 | (2) current State and local laws and policies related | ||||||
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 | ||||||
