|
| |
| | A BILL FOR |
|
| | | HB0294 | | LRB097 03030 KMW 43061 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 Section 11-74.4-5 as follows:
| 6 | | (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-5) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-74.4-5)
| 7 | | Sec. 11-74.4-5. Public hearing; joint review board. | 8 | | (a) The changes made by this amendatory Act of the 91st
| 9 | | General Assembly do not apply to a municipality that, (i) | 10 | | before the
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st | 11 | | General Assembly,
has adopted an ordinance or resolution fixing | 12 | | a time and place for a
public hearing under this Section or | 13 | | (ii) before July 1, 1999, has adopted
an ordinance or | 14 | | resolution providing for a feasibility study under Section
| 15 | | 11-74.4-4.1, but has not yet adopted an ordinance
approving | 16 | | redevelopment plans and redevelopment projects or designating
| 17 | | redevelopment project areas under Section 11-74.4-4, until | 18 | | after that
municipality adopts an ordinance
approving | 19 | | redevelopment plans and redevelopment projects or designating
| 20 | | redevelopment project areas under Section 11-74.4-4; | 21 | | thereafter the changes
made by this amendatory Act of the 91st | 22 | | General Assembly apply to the same
extent that they apply to
| 23 | | redevelopment plans and redevelopment projects that were |
| | | HB0294 | - 2 - | LRB097 03030 KMW 43061 b |
|
| 1 | | approved and
redevelopment projects that were designated | 2 | | before the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 91st | 3 | | General Assembly.
| 4 | | Prior to the adoption of an ordinance proposing the
| 5 | | designation of a redevelopment project area, or approving a
| 6 | | redevelopment plan or redevelopment project, the municipality | 7 | | by its
corporate authorities, or as it may determine by any | 8 | | commission
designated under subsection (k) of Section | 9 | | 11-74.4-4 shall adopt an
ordinance or resolution fixing
a time | 10 | | and place for public hearing.
At least 10 days prior to the | 11 | | adoption of the ordinance or resolution
establishing the time
| 12 | | and place for the public hearing, the municipality shall make | 13 | | available for
public inspection a redevelopment plan or a | 14 | | separate report that provides in
reasonable detail the basis | 15 | | for the eligibility of
the redevelopment project area. The | 16 | | report along with the name of a
person to
contact for further | 17 | | information shall be sent within a reasonable time
after the | 18 | | adoption of such ordinance or resolution to the
affected taxing | 19 | | districts
by certified mail.
On and after the effective date of | 20 | | this amendatory Act of the 91st General
Assembly, the | 21 | | municipality shall print in a newspaper of general circulation
| 22 | | within the municipality a notice that interested persons may | 23 | | register with the
municipality in order to receive information | 24 | | on the proposed designation of a
redevelopment project area or | 25 | | the approval of a redevelopment plan. The notice
shall state | 26 | | the place of registration and the operating hours of that |
| | | HB0294 | - 3 - | LRB097 03030 KMW 43061 b |
|
| 1 | | place.
The municipality shall have adopted reasonable rules to | 2 | | implement this
registration process under Section 11-74.4-4.2.
| 3 | | The municipality shall provide notice of the availability of | 4 | | the
redevelopment plan and eligibility report, including how to | 5 | | obtain this
information, by mail within a reasonable time after | 6 | | the adoption of the
ordinance or resolution, to all residential | 7 | | addresses that, after a good faith
effort, the municipality | 8 | | determines are located outside the proposed
redevelopment | 9 | | project area and within 750 feet of the
boundaries of the | 10 | | proposed redevelopment project area. This requirement is
| 11 | | subject to the limitation that in a municipality with a | 12 | | population of over
100,000, if the total number of residential | 13 | | addresses outside the proposed
redevelopment project area and | 14 | | within 750 feet of the
boundaries of the proposed redevelopment | 15 | | project area exceeds 750, the
municipality shall be required to | 16 | | provide the notice to only the 750
residential addresses that, | 17 | | after a good faith effort, the municipality
determines are | 18 | | outside the proposed redevelopment project area and closest
to | 19 | | the boundaries of the proposed redevelopment project
area.
| 20 | | Notwithstanding the foregoing, notice given after August 7, | 21 | | 2001 (the
effective date of Public Act 92-263) and before the | 22 | | effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 92nd General | 23 | | Assembly to residential addresses within 750
feet of the | 24 | | boundaries of a proposed redevelopment project area shall be | 25 | | deemed
to have been sufficiently given in compliance with this | 26 | | Act if given only to
residents outside the boundaries of the |
| | | HB0294 | - 4 - | LRB097 03030 KMW 43061 b |
|
| 1 | | proposed redevelopment project area.
The notice shall also be | 2 | | provided by the municipality, regardless of its
population, to | 3 | | those organizations and residents that have registered with the
| 4 | | municipality for that information in accordance with the | 5 | | registration
guidelines established by the municipality under | 6 | | Section 11-74.4-4.2.
| 7 | | With respect to a public hearing held on or after the | 8 | | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General | 9 | | Assembly that requires the formation of a joint review board | 10 | | under this Section, the joint review board shall appoint one of | 11 | | its members to preside over the meeting.
| 12 | | At the public hearing any
interested person or affected | 13 | | taxing district may file with the
municipal clerk written | 14 | | objections to and may be heard orally in respect
to any issues | 15 | | embodied in the notice. The municipality shall hear all | 16 | | protests
and objections at the hearing and the hearing may
be | 17 | | adjourned to another date without further notice other than a | 18 | | motion
to be entered upon the minutes fixing the time and place | 19 | | of the
subsequent hearing.
At the public hearing or at any time | 20 | | prior to the
adoption by the municipality of an ordinance | 21 | | approving a redevelopment plan,
the municipality may make | 22 | | changes in the redevelopment plan. Changes which (1)
add | 23 | | additional parcels of property to the proposed redevelopment | 24 | | project area,
(2) substantially affect the general land uses | 25 | | proposed in the redevelopment
plan, (3) substantially change | 26 | | the nature of or extend the life of the
redevelopment project,
|
| | | HB0294 | - 5 - | LRB097 03030 KMW 43061 b |
|
| 1 | | or (4) increase the number of inhabited residential units to be | 2 | | displaced from the redevelopment project area, as
measured from | 3 | | the time of creation of the redevelopment project area, to a | 4 | | total of more than
10,
shall be made only after the
| 5 | | municipality gives notice,
convenes a joint review board, and | 6 | | conducts a public hearing pursuant to the
procedures set forth | 7 | | in this Section and in Section 11-74.4-6 of this Act.
Changes | 8 | | which do not (1) add additional parcels of property to the | 9 | | proposed
redevelopment project area, (2) substantially affect | 10 | | the general land uses
proposed in the redevelopment plan, (3) | 11 | | substantially change the nature of
or extend the life of the | 12 | | redevelopment project,
or (4) increase the number of inhabited | 13 | | residential units to be displaced from the redevelopment | 14 | | project area, as
measured from the time of creation of the | 15 | | redevelopment project area, to a total
of more than 10,
may be | 16 | | made without further
hearing, provided that the municipality | 17 | | shall give notice of any such changes
by mail to each affected | 18 | | taxing district and registrant on the interested
parties | 19 | | registry, provided for under Section 11-74.4-4.2, and by | 20 | | publication in
a newspaper of
general circulation within the | 21 | | affected taxing district. Such notice by mail
and by | 22 | | publication shall each occur not later than 10 days following | 23 | | the
adoption by ordinance of such changes. Hearings with regard | 24 | | to a redevelopment
project area, project or plan may be held | 25 | | simultaneously.
| 26 | | (b) Prior to holding a public hearing to approve or amend a |
| | | HB0294 | - 6 - | LRB097 03030 KMW 43061 b |
|
| 1 | | redevelopment
plan or to designate or add additional parcels of | 2 | | property to a redevelopment
project area, the municipality
| 3 | | shall convene a joint review board. The board shall consist of | 4 | | a representative
selected by each community college district, | 5 | | local elementary school
district and high school district or | 6 | | each local community unit school
district, park district, | 7 | | library district, township, fire protection
district, and | 8 | | county that will have the authority to
directly levy taxes on | 9 | | the property within the proposed redevelopment
project area at | 10 | | the time that the proposed redevelopment project area is
| 11 | | approved, a representative selected by the municipality and a | 12 | | public
member. The public member shall first be selected and | 13 | | then the board's
chairperson shall be selected by
a majority of | 14 | | the board members present and voting.
| 15 | | For redevelopment project areas with redevelopment plans | 16 | | or proposed
redevelopment plans that would
result in the | 17 | | displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited residential
| 18 | | units or that include 75 or more inhabited residential units, | 19 | | the public member
shall be a person who resides in the | 20 | | redevelopment project area. If, as
determined by the housing | 21 | | impact study provided for in paragraph (5) of
subsection (n) of | 22 | | Section 11-74.4-3, or if no housing impact study is required
| 23 | | then based on other reasonable data, the majority of | 24 | | residential units are
occupied by very low, low, or moderate | 25 | | income households, as defined in Section
3 of the Illinois | 26 | | Affordable Housing Act, the public member shall be a person
who |
| | | HB0294 | - 7 - | LRB097 03030 KMW 43061 b |
|
| 1 | | resides in very low, low, or moderate income housing within the
| 2 | | redevelopment project area. Municipalities with fewer than | 3 | | 15,000 residents
shall not be required to select a person who | 4 | | lives in very low, low, or
moderate income housing within the | 5 | | redevelopment project area, provided that
the redevelopment | 6 | | plan or project will not result in displacement of residents
| 7 | | from 10 or more inhabited units, and the municipality so | 8 | | certifies
in the plan. If no person satisfying these | 9 | | requirements is available or if no
qualified person will serve | 10 | | as the public member, then the joint review board
is relieved | 11 | | of this paragraph's selection requirements for the public
| 12 | | member.
| 13 | | Within 90 days of the effective date of this amendatory Act | 14 | | of the 91st
General Assembly, each municipality that designated | 15 | | a redevelopment project
area for which it was not required to | 16 | | convene a joint review board under this
Section shall convene a | 17 | | joint review board to perform the
duties specified under | 18 | | paragraph (e) of this Section.
| 19 | | All board members shall be appointed and the first board | 20 | | meeting shall be
held at least 14 days but not more than 28 | 21 | | days after the
mailing of notice by the
municipality to the | 22 | | taxing
districts as required by Section 11-74.4-6(c).
| 23 | | Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a municipality that | 24 | | adopted either a
public hearing resolution or a feasibility | 25 | | resolution between July 1, 1999 and
July 1, 2000 that called | 26 | | for the meeting of the joint review board within 14
days of |
| | | HB0294 | - 8 - | LRB097 03030 KMW 43061 b |
|
| 1 | | notice of public hearing to affected taxing districts is deemed | 2 | | to be
in compliance with the notice, meeting, and public | 3 | | hearing provisions of the
Act.
Such notice
shall also advise
| 4 | | the taxing bodies represented on the joint review board of the | 5 | | time and place
of the first meeting of the board. Additional | 6 | | meetings of the
board shall be held upon the call of any | 7 | | member. The municipality
seeking designation of the | 8 | | redevelopment project area shall provide
administrative | 9 | | support to the board.
| 10 | | The board shall review (i) the public record, planning | 11 | | documents and
proposed ordinances approving the redevelopment | 12 | | plan and
project and (ii) proposed amendments to the | 13 | | redevelopment plan or additions
of parcels of property to the | 14 | | redevelopment project area to be
adopted by the municipality. | 15 | | As part of its deliberations, the board may
hold additional | 16 | | hearings on the proposal. A
board's recommendation shall be
an | 17 | | advisory, non-binding recommendation. The recommendation shall | 18 | | be adopted
by a majority of those members present and voting. | 19 | | The recommendations shall
be submitted to the municipality
| 20 | | within 30 days after convening of the board.
Failure of the | 21 | | board to
submit
its report on a timely basis shall not be cause | 22 | | to delay the public hearing
or any other step in the process of | 23 | | designating or
amending the
redevelopment project area but | 24 | | shall be deemed to constitute approval by the
joint review | 25 | | board of the matters before it.
| 26 | | The board shall base its recommendation to approve or |
| | | HB0294 | - 9 - | LRB097 03030 KMW 43061 b |
|
| 1 | | disapprove the
redevelopment plan and the designation of the | 2 | | redevelopment project area or the
amendment of the | 3 | | redevelopment plan or addition of parcels of property to the
| 4 | | redevelopment project area on the basis of the redevelopment | 5 | | project area and
redevelopment plan satisfying the
plan | 6 | | requirements, the eligibility criteria
defined in Section | 7 | | 11-74.4-3, and the objectives of this Act.
| 8 | | The board shall issue a written report describing why the
| 9 | | redevelopment plan and project area or the amendment thereof | 10 | | meets or
fails to meet one or more of the objectives of this | 11 | | Act and both the plan
requirements and the eligibility criteria | 12 | | defined in Section 11-74.4-3.
In the event the Board does not | 13 | | file a report it shall be presumed
that these taxing bodies | 14 | | find the redevelopment project area and
redevelopment plan | 15 | | satisfy the
objectives of this Act and the plan requirements | 16 | | and eligibility criteria.
| 17 | | If the board recommends rejection of the matters before it, | 18 | | the
municipality will have 30 days within which to resubmit the | 19 | | plan or amendment.
During this period, the municipality will | 20 | | meet and confer with the board and
attempt to resolve those | 21 | | issues set forth in the board's written report that
led to the | 22 | | rejection of the plan or amendment.
| 23 | | Notwithstanding the resubmission set forth above, the | 24 | | municipality may
commence the scheduled public hearing and | 25 | | either adjourn the public hearing or
continue the public | 26 | | hearing until a date certain. Prior to continuing any
public |
| | | HB0294 | - 10 - | LRB097 03030 KMW 43061 b |
|
| 1 | | hearing to a date certain, the municipality shall announce | 2 | | during the
public hearing the time, date, and location for the | 3 | | reconvening of the public
hearing. Any changes to the | 4 | | redevelopment plan necessary to satisfy the issues
set forth in | 5 | | the joint review board report shall be the subject of a public
| 6 | | hearing before the hearing is adjourned if the changes would | 7 | | (1) substantially
affect the general land uses proposed in the | 8 | | redevelopment plan, (2)
substantially change the nature of or | 9 | | extend the life of the redevelopment
project, or (3) increase | 10 | | the number of inhabited residential units to be
displaced from | 11 | | the redevelopment project area, as
measured from the
time of | 12 | | creation of the redevelopment project area, to a total of
more | 13 | | than 10. Changes to the redevelopment plan necessary
to
satisfy | 14 | | the issues set forth in the joint review board report shall not | 15 | | require
any further notice or convening of a joint review board | 16 | | meeting, except that
any changes to the redevelopment plan that | 17 | | would add additional parcels of
property to the proposed | 18 | | redevelopment project area shall be subject to the
notice, | 19 | | public hearing, and joint review board meeting requirements | 20 | | established
for such changes by subsection (a) of Section | 21 | | 11-74.4-5.
| 22 | | In the event that the
municipality and the board are unable | 23 | | to resolve these differences, or in the
event that the | 24 | | resubmitted plan or amendment is rejected by the board, the
| 25 | | municipality may proceed with the plan or amendment, but only | 26 | | upon a
three-fifths vote of the corporate authority responsible |
| | | HB0294 | - 11 - | LRB097 03030 KMW 43061 b |
|
| 1 | | for approval of the
plan or amendment, excluding positions of | 2 | | members that are vacant and those
members that are ineligible | 3 | | to vote because of conflicts of interest.
| 4 | | (c) After a municipality has by ordinance approved a | 5 | | redevelopment plan
and designated a redevelopment project | 6 | | area, the plan may be amended and
additional properties may be | 7 | | added to the redevelopment project area only as
herein | 8 | | provided. Amendments which (1) add additional parcels of | 9 | | property to
the proposed redevelopment project area, (2) | 10 | | substantially affect the general
land uses proposed in the | 11 | | redevelopment plan, (3) substantially change the
nature of the | 12 | | redevelopment project, (4) increase the total estimated
| 13 | | redevelopment
project costs set out in the redevelopment plan | 14 | | by more than 5% after
adjustment for inflation from the date | 15 | | the plan was adopted, (5) add
additional redevelopment project | 16 | | costs to the itemized list of redevelopment
project costs set | 17 | | out in the redevelopment plan, or (6) increase the number of
| 18 | | inhabited residential units to be
displaced from the | 19 | | redevelopment
project area, as measured from the time of | 20 | | creation of
the
redevelopment project area, to a total of more | 21 | | than
10, shall be made only after
the
municipality gives | 22 | | notice, convenes a joint review board, and conducts a public
| 23 | | hearing pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section | 24 | | and in Section
11-74.4-6 of this Act. Changes which do not (1) | 25 | | add additional parcels of
property to the proposed | 26 | | redevelopment project area, (2) substantially affect
the |
| | | HB0294 | - 12 - | LRB097 03030 KMW 43061 b |
|
| 1 | | general land uses proposed in the redevelopment plan, (3) | 2 | | substantially
change the nature of the redevelopment project, | 3 | | (4) increase the total
estimated redevelopment project cost set | 4 | | out in the redevelopment plan by more
than 5% after adjustment | 5 | | for inflation from the date the plan was adopted,
(5) add | 6 | | additional redevelopment project costs to the itemized list of
| 7 | | redevelopment project costs set out in the redevelopment plan, | 8 | | or (6) increase
the number of inhabited residential units to be | 9 | | displaced from the
redevelopment project area, as measured from | 10 | | the time of
creation of
the redevelopment project area, to a | 11 | | total of more than 10, may be made
without further public | 12 | | hearing
and related notices and procedures including the | 13 | | convening of a joint review
board as set forth in Section | 14 | | 11-74.4-6 of this Act, provided that the
municipality shall | 15 | | give notice of
any such changes by mail to each affected taxing | 16 | | district and registrant on the
interested parties registry, | 17 | | provided for under Section 11-74.4-4.2, and by
publication in
a | 18 | | newspaper of general circulation within the affected taxing | 19 | | district. Such
notice by mail and by publication shall each | 20 | | occur not later than 10 days
following the adoption by | 21 | | ordinance of such changes.
| 22 | | (d) After the effective date of this amendatory Act of the | 23 | | 91st General
Assembly, a
municipality shall submit in an | 24 | | electronic format the
following information for each | 25 | | redevelopment project area (i) to the State
Comptroller under | 26 | | Section 8-8-3.5 of the Illinois Municipal Code
and (ii) to all |
