12 | (3) State and local zoning and annexation laws and | ||||||
13 | policies outside of Illinois; | ||||||

15 | developments on neighboring units of local government, | ||||||

17 | communities; | ||||||
18 | (5) trends in industrial zoning across urban, | ||||||
19 | suburban, and rural regions of Illinois; | ||||||
20 | (6) available methodologies to determine the impact of | ||||||
21 | large industrial developments; and | ||||||
22 | (7) outcomes in recent zoning proceedings for large | ||||||
23 | industrial developments or attempts to develop properties | ||||||
24 | for large industrial purposes, including the recent | ||||||
25 | attempt to convert a 101 acre campus in Lake County near | ||||||
