| | HB3102 Enrolled | | LRB097 08907 KMW 49039 b |
|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning local government.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by | 5 | | changing Sections 7-1-2, 11-13-1.1, 11-13-6, 11-13-7, and | 6 | | 11-13-14 as follows:
| 7 | | (65 ILCS 5/7-1-2) (from Ch. 24, par. 7-1-2)
| 8 | | Sec. 7-1-2.
(a) A written petition signed by a majority of | 9 | | the owners
of record of land in the territory and also by a | 10 | | majority of the electors,
if any, residing in the territory | 11 | | shall be filed with the circuit court
clerk of the county in | 12 | | which the territory is located, or the corporate
authorities of | 13 | | a municipality may initiate the proceedings by enacting an
| 14 | | ordinance expressing their desire to annex the described | 15 | | territory.
A person owning land underlying a highway shall not | 16 | | be considered an owner of
record for purposes of this petition | 17 | | unless that person owns some land not
underlying a highway | 18 | | proposed to be annexed in the petition for annexation.
No
tract | 19 | | of land in excess of 10 acres in area may be included in the
| 20 | | ordinances of a municipality initiating the proceedings, | 21 | | however, without
the express consent of the owner of the tract | 22 | | unless the tract (i) is
subdivided into lots or blocks or (ii) | 23 | | is bounded on at least 3 sides by
lands subdivided into lots or |
| | | HB3102 Enrolled | - 2 - | LRB097 08907 KMW 49039 b |
|
| 1 | | blocks. A tract of land shall be deemed so
bounded if it is | 2 | | actually separated from the subdivision only by the
| 3 | | right-of-way of a railroad or other public utility or at a | 4 | | public highway.
The petition or ordinance, as the case may be, | 5 | | shall request the annexation
of the territory to a specified | 6 | | municipality and also shall request that
the circuit court of | 7 | | the specified county submit the question of the
annexation to | 8 | | the corporate authorities of the annexing municipality or to
| 9 | | the electors of the unincorporated territory, as the case may | 10 | | be. The
circuit court shall enter an order fixing the time for | 11 | | the hearing upon the
petition, and the day for the hearing | 12 | | shall be not less than 20 nor more
than 30 days after the | 13 | | filing of the petition or ordinance, as the case may be.
| 14 | | (b) The petitioners or corporate authorities, as the case | 15 | | may be, shall
give notice of the annexation petition or | 16 | | ordinance, as the case may be,
not more than 30 nor less than | 17 | | 15 days before the date fixed for the
hearing. This notice | 18 | | shall state that a petition for annexation or
ordinance, as the | 19 | | case may be, has been filed and shall give the substance of
the | 20 | | petition, including a description of the territory to be | 21 | | annexed, the
name of the annexing municipality, and the date | 22 | | fixed for the hearing.
This notice shall be given by publishing | 23 | | a notice at least once
in one or more newspapers published in | 24 | | the annexing municipality or, if
no newspaper is published in | 25 | | the annexing municipality, in one or more
newspapers with a | 26 | | general circulation within the annexing municipality and
|
| | | HB3102 Enrolled | - 3 - | LRB097 08907 KMW 49039 b |
|
| 1 | | territory. A copy of this notice shall be filed with the clerk | 2 | | of the
annexing municipality and the municipal clerk shall | 3 | | send, by registered
mail, an additional copy to the highway | 4 | | commissioner of each road district
within which the territory | 5 | | proposed to be annexed is situated. If a
municipal clerk fails | 6 | | to send the notice to a highway commissioner as
required by | 7 | | this subsection, the municipality shall reimburse the road
| 8 | | district served by that highway commissioner for any loss or | 9 | | liability
caused by that failure. Any notice required by this | 10 | | Section need not include a metes and bounds legal description | 11 | | of the territory to be annexed, provided that the notice | 12 | | includes: (i) the common street address or addresses and (ii) | 13 | | the property index number ("PIN") or numbers of all the parcels | 14 | | of real property contained in the territory to be annexed.
| 15 | | (c) The petitioners or corporate authorities, as the case | 16 | | may be, shall
pay to the clerk of the circuit court $10 as a | 17 | | filing and service fee,
and no petition or ordinance, as the | 18 | | case may be, shall be filed until
this fee is paid.
| 19 | | (d) No petitioner may withdraw from this petition
except by | 20 | | consent of the majority of the other petitioners, or
where it | 21 | | is shown to the satisfaction of the court that the signature of
| 22 | | the petitioner was obtained by fraud or misrepresentation.
| 23 | | (e) If a State charitable institution is situated upon a | 24 | | tract or
tracts of land that lie partly within and partly | 25 | | without the corporate
limits of any municipality, the corporate | 26 | | authorities of the municipality
may by resolution without any |
| | | HB3102 Enrolled | - 4 - | LRB097 08907 KMW 49039 b |
|
| 1 | | petition or proceedings required by this
Article but with the | 2 | | written consent of the Director of the State
Department having | 3 | | jurisdiction of the institution, annex any part or all of
the | 4 | | tracts lying without the corporate limits.
| 5 | | (f) If real estate owned by the State of Illinois or any | 6 | | board,
agency, or commission of the State is situated in | 7 | | unincorporated territory
adjacent to a municipality, the | 8 | | corporate authorities of the municipality
may annex any part or | 9 | | all of the real estate only with the written consent
of the | 10 | | Governor or the governing authority of the board, agency, or
| 11 | | commission, without any petition or proceedings required by | 12 | | this Article by
resolution of the corporate authorities. This | 13 | | requirement does not apply,
however, to State highways located | 14 | | within territory to be annexed under
this Article.

| 17 | | Sec. 11-13-1.1.
The corporate authorities of any | 18 | | municipality may in its
ordinances passed under the authority | 19 | | of this Division 13 provide for the
classification of special | 20 | | uses. Such uses may include but are not limited
to public and | 21 | | quasi-public uses affected with the public interest, uses
which | 22 | | may have a unique, special or unusual impact upon the use or
| 23 | | enjoyment of neighboring property, and planned developments. A | 24 | | use may be a
permitted use in one or more zoning districts, and | 25 | | a special use in one or
more other zoning districts. A special |
| | | HB3102 Enrolled | - 5 - | LRB097 08907 KMW 49039 b |
|
| 1 | | use shall be permitted only after a
public hearing before some | 2 | | commission or committee designated by the
corporate | 3 | | authorities, with prior notice thereof given in the manner as
| 4 | | provided in Section 11-13-6 and 11-13-7. Any notice required by | 5 | | this Section need not include a metes and bounds legal | 6 | | description of the area classified for special uses, provided | 7 | | that the notice includes: (i) the common street address or | 8 | | addresses and (ii) the property index number ("PIN") or numbers | 9 | | of all the parcels of real property contained in the area | 10 | | classified for special uses. A special use shall be permitted
| 11 | | only upon evidence that such use meets standards established | 12 | | for such
classification in the ordinances, and the granting of | 13 | | permission therefor
may be subject to conditions reasonably | 14 | | necessary to meet such standards.
In addition, any proposed | 15 | | special use which fails to receive the approval
of the | 16 | | commission or committee designated by the corporate | 17 | | authorities to
hold the public hearing shall not be approved by | 18 | | the corporate authorities
except by a favorable majority vote | 19 | | of all aldermen, commissioners or
trustees of the municipality | 20 | | then holding office; however, the corporate
authorities may by | 21 | | ordinance increase the vote requirement to two-thirds of
all | 22 | | aldermen, commissioners or trustees of the municipality then | 23 | | holding office.

which is published in the | 11 | | county where the municipality is located.
This notice shall | 12 | | contain
the particular location for which the variation is | 13 | | requested as well as a
brief statement of what the proposed | 14 | | variation consists. Any notice required by this Section need | 15 | | not include a metes and bounds legal description of the | 16 | | location for which the variation is requested, provided that | 17 | | the notice includes: (i) the common street address or addresses | 18 | | and (ii) the property index number ("PIN") or numbers of all | 19 | | the parcels of real property contained in the area for which | 20 | | the variation is requested.

address by the applicant for variation or | 22 | | special use, the owner of the
property on which the notice is | 23 | | served cannot be found at his or her last known
address, or the | 24 | | mailed notice is returned because the owner cannot be found

The board of | 10 | | appeals shall hear no application for variation or special use

certificate herein required. The board of appeals | 13 | | shall, not more than 30
days nor less than 15 days before the | 14 | | hearing at which the application for

from | 11 | | any order or
decision of the board of appeals under the | 12 | | Administrative
Review Law, and all amendments and | 13 | | modifications
thereof, and the rules adopted pursuant thereto.
| 14 | | If the board of appeals
determines that the property of any | 15 | | such owner will not be substantially
