3 represented in the General Assembly:
 
4     Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by
5 changing Section 11-13-1 as follows:
 
6     (65 ILCS 5/11-13-1)  (from Ch. 24, par. 11-13-1)
7     Sec. 11-13-1. To the end that adequate light, pure air, and
8 safety from fire and other dangers may be secured, that the
9 taxable value of land and buildings throughout the municipality
10 may be conserved, that congestion in the public streets may be
11 lessened or avoided, that the hazards to persons and damage to
12 property resulting from the accumulation or runoff of storm or
13 flood waters may be lessened or avoided, and that the public
14 health, safety, comfort, morals, and welfare may otherwise be
15 promoted, and to insure and facilitate the preservation of
16 sites, areas, and structures of historical, architectural and
17 aesthetic importance; the corporate authorities in each
18 municipality have the following powers:
19         (1) To regulate and limit the height and bulk of
20     buildings hereafter to be erected; (2) to establish,
21     regulate and limit, subject to the provisions of Division
22     14 of this Article 11, the building or set-back lines on or
23     along any street, traffic-way, drive, parkway or storm or

1     floodwater runoff channel or basin; (3) to regulate and
2     limit the intensity of the use of lot areas, and to
3     regulate and determine the area of open spaces, within and
4     surrounding such buildings; (4) to classify, regulate and
5     restrict the location of trades and industries and the
6     location of buildings designed for specified industrial,
7     business, residential, and other uses; (5) to divide the
8     entire municipality into districts of such number, shape,
9     area, and of such different classes (according to use of
10     land and buildings, height and bulk of buildings, intensity
11     of the use of lot area, area of open spaces, or other
12     classification) as may be deemed best suited to carry out
13     the purposes of this Division 13; (6) to fix standards to
14     which buildings or structures therein shall conform; (7) to
15     prohibit uses, buildings, or structures incompatible with
16     the character of such districts; (8) to prevent additions
17     to and alteration or remodeling of existing buildings or
18     structures in such a way as to avoid the restrictions and
19     limitations lawfully imposed under this Division 13; (9) to
20     classify, to regulate and restrict the use of property on
21     the basis of family relationship, which family
22     relationship may be defined as one or more persons each
23     related to the other by blood, marriage or adoption and
24     maintaining a common household; (10) to regulate or forbid
25     any structure or activity which may hinder access to solar
26     energy necessary for the proper functioning of a solar

 

 

SB0382 Engrossed - 3 - LRB095 06569 HLH 28956 b

1     energy system, as defined in Section 1.2 of The
2     Comprehensive Solar Energy Act of 1977; and (11) to require
3     the creation and preservation of affordable housing,
4     including the power to provide increased density or other
5     zoning incentives to developers who are creating,
6     establishing, or preserving affordable housing; and (12)
7     to establish local standards solely for the review of the
8     exterior design of buildings and structures, excluding
9     utility facilities and outdoor off-premises advertising
10     signs, and designate a board or commission to implement the
11     review process.
12     The powers enumerated may be exercised within the corporate
13 limits or within contiguous territory not more than one and
14 one-half miles beyond the corporate limits and not included
15 within any municipality. However, if any municipality adopts a
16 plan pursuant to Division 12 of Article 11 which plan includes
17 in its provisions a provision that the plan applies to such
18 contiguous territory not more than one and one-half miles
19 beyond the corporate limits and not included in any
20 municipality, then no other municipality shall adopt a plan
21 that shall apply to any territory included within the territory
22 provided in the plan first so adopted by another municipality.
23 No municipality shall exercise any power set forth in this
24 Division 13 outside the corporate limits thereof, if the county
25 in which such municipality is situated has adopted "An Act in
26 relation to county zoning", approved June 12, 1935, as amended.

1 Nothing in this Section prevents a municipality of more than
2 112,000 population located in a county of less than 185,000
3 population that has adopted a zoning ordinance and the county
4 that adopted the zoning ordinance from entering into an
5 intergovernmental agreement that allows the municipality to
6 exercise its zoning powers beyond its territorial limits;
7 provided, however, that the intergovernmental agreement must
8 be limited to the territory within the municipality's planning
9 jurisdiction as defined by law or any existing boundary
10 agreement. The county and the municipality must amend their
11 individual zoning maps in the same manner as other zoning
12 changes are incorporated into revised zoning maps. No such
13 intergovernmental agreement may authorize a municipality to
14 exercise its zoning powers, other than powers that a county may
15 exercise under Section 5-12001 of the Counties Code, with
16 respect to land used for agricultural purposes. This amendatory
17 Act of the 92nd General Assembly is declarative of existing
18 law. No municipality may exercise any power set forth in this
19 Division 13 outside the corporate limits of the municipality
20 with respect to a facility of a telecommunications carrier
21 defined in Section 5-12001.1 of the Counties Code.
22     Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
23 at least 30 days prior to commencing construction of a new
24 telecommunications facility within 1.5 miles of a
25 municipality, the telecommunications carrier constructing the
26 facility shall provide written notice of its intent to

 

 

SB0382 Engrossed - 5 - LRB095 06569 HLH 28956 b

1 construct the facility. The notice shall include, but not be
2 limited to, the following information: (i) the name, address,
3 and telephone number of the company responsible for the
4 construction of the facility and (ii) the address and telephone
5 number of the governmental entity that issued the building
6 permit for the telecommunications facility. The notice shall be
7 provided in person, by overnight private courier, or by
8 certified mail to all owners of property within 250 feet of the
9 parcel in which the telecommunications carrier has a leasehold
10 or ownership interest. For the purposes of this notice
11 requirement, "owners" means those persons or entities
12 identified from the authentic tax records of the county in
13 which the telecommunications facility is to be located. If,
14 after a bona fide effort by the telecommunications carrier to
15 determine the owner and his or her address, the owner of the
16 property on whom the notice must be served cannot be found at
17 the owner's last known address, or if the mailed notice is
18 returned because the owner cannot be found at the last known
19 address, the notice requirement of this paragraph is deemed
20 satisfied. For the purposes of this paragraph, "facility" means
21 that term as it is defined in Section 5-12001.1 of the Counties
22 Code.
23     If a municipality adopts a zoning plan covering an area
24 outside its corporate limits, the plan adopted shall be
25 reasonable with respect to the area outside the corporate
26 limits so that future development will not be hindered or

 

 

SB0382 Engrossed - 6 - LRB095 06569 HLH 28956 b

1 impaired; it is reasonable for a municipality to regulate or
2 prohibit the extraction of sand, gravel, or limestone even when
3 those activities are related to an agricultural purpose. If all
4 or any part of the area outside the corporate limits of a
5 municipality which has been zoned in accordance with the
6 provisions of this Division 13 is annexed to another
7 municipality or municipalities, the annexing unit shall
8 thereafter exercise all zoning powers and regulations over the
9 annexed area.
10     In all ordinances passed under the authority of this
11 Division 13, due allowance shall be made for existing
12 conditions, the conservation of property values, the direction
13 of building development to the best advantage of the entire
14 municipality and the uses to which the property is devoted at
15 the time of the enactment of such an ordinance. The powers
16 conferred by this Division 13 shall not be exercised so as to
17 deprive the owner of any existing property of its use or
18 maintenance for the purpose to which it is then lawfully
19 devoted, but provisions may be made for the gradual elimination
20 of uses, buildings and structures which are incompatible with
21 the character of the districts in which they are made or
22 located, including, without being limited thereto, provisions
23 (a) for the elimination of such uses of unimproved lands or lot
24 areas when the existing rights of the persons in possession
25 thereof are terminated or when the uses to which they are
26 devoted are discontinued; (b) for the elimination of uses to

 

 

SB0382 Engrossed - 7 - LRB095 06569 HLH 28956 b

1 which such buildings and structures are devoted, if they are
2 adaptable for permitted uses; and (c) for the elimination of
3 such buildings and structures when they are destroyed or
4 damaged in major part, or when they have reached the age fixed
5 by the corporate authorities of the municipality as the normal
6 useful life of such buildings or structures.
7     This amendatory Act of 1971 does not apply to any
8 municipality which is a home rule unit.
