| 6 | | (225 ILCS 440/3.12) (from Ch. 121, par. 503.12)
| 7 | | Sec. 3.12. (a) "Business area" means any part of an area | 8 | | adjacent to and and
within 660 feet of the right-of-way which | 9 | | is at any time zoned for business,
commercial or industrial | 10 | | activities under the authority of any law of this
State; or not | 11 | | so zoned, but which constitutes an unzoned commercial or

Interstate highways, the term "business area" | 14 | | includes only areas which
are within incorporated limits of any | 15 | | city, village, or incorporated town,
as such limits existed on | 16 | | September 21, 1959, and which are zoned for
industrial or | 17 | | commercial use, or both, or to portions of Interstate highways
| 18 | | which traverse other areas where the land use, as of September | 19 | | 21, l959,
was established by State law as industrial or | 20 | | commercial, or both. | 21 | | With respect to signs owned or leased by the State or a | 22 | | political subdivision, an area zoned for business, commercial, | 23 | | or industrial activities that is adjacent to and within 660 |

|
| 1 | | feet of an Interstate highway and that is in Township 41 North, | 2 | | Range 10 East of the Third Principal Meridian, shall be deemed | 3 | | a "business area" for purposes of this Act. This zoning must | 4 | | have been a part of comprehensive zoning and not have been | 5 | | created primarily to permit outdoor advertising structures as | 6 | | described in 23 CFR 750. | 7 | | (b) The changes to this Section made by this amendatory Act | 8 | | of the 95th General Assembly are intended to comply with the | 9 | | federal Highway Beautification Act of 1965, 23 U.S.C. 131, and | 10 | | the regulations promulgated thereunder by the Secretary of the | 11 | | United States Department of Transportation. To the extent that | 12 | | the Secretary of the United States Department of Transportation | 13 | | or any court finds the changes to this Section made by this | 14 | | amendatory Act to be inconsistent with or preempted by such law | 15 | | or regulations, the changes shall be repealed to the extent | 16 | | necessary to cure such inconsistency or preemption. | 17 | | (c) The provisions of this amendatory Act of the 95th | 18 | | General Assembly shall not be applicable if such application | 19 | | would impact the receipt, use, or reimbursement of federal | 20 | | funds by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
