(620 ILCS 25/21) (from Ch. 15 1/2, par. 48.21)
Sec. 21.
Reasonableness of airport zoning requirements.
All airport zoning regulations adopted under this Act shall be
reasonable and none shall impose any requirement or restriction which is
not reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Act. In
determining what regulations it may adopt, the Department, and each
political subdivision and joint airport zoning board shall consider, among
other things, the character of the flying operations expected to be
conducted at the airport, the traffic pattern and regulations affecting
flying operations at the airport, the nature of the terrain within the
airport hazard area, the character of the neighborhood, and the uses to
which the property to be zoned is put and adaptable; provided, however,
that no airport zoning regulation shall be adopted limiting the height or
location of structures usually and customarily employed in connection with
public utility operations without the concurrence of the Illinois Commerce
Commission.
