Sec. 11-14-1.
In addition to existing powers and to the end that adequate
light, pure air, or safety may be secured and that congestion of public
streets may be lessened or avoided, the corporate authorities in each
municipality have power by ordinance to establish, regulate, and limit the
building or set-back lines on or along any street, traffic way, drive, or
parkway or storm or floodwater runoff channel within the municipality, as
may be deemed best suited to carry out these purposes. The powers given by
this Division 14 shall not be exercised so as to deprive the owner of any
existing property of its use or maintenance for the purpose to which it is
then lawfully devoted.

Sec. 11-14-3.
The regulations imposed under the authority of this Division
14 may be amended from time to time by ordinance after the ordinance
establishing the regulations has gone into effect, but no amendment shall
be made without a hearing before a commission or committee designated by
the corporate authorities of the municipality. A notice of the time and
place of such a hearing shall be given at least once, not more than 30 nor
less than 15 days before the hearing, by publishing a notice thereof in one
or more newspapers published in the municipality, or, if no newspaper is
published therein, then in one or more newspapers with a general
circulation within the municipality. In municipalities with less than 500
population in which no newspaper is published, publication may instead be
made by posting a notice in 3 prominent places within the municipality. An
amendment shall not be passed except by a favorable vote of two-thirds of
the members of the city council then holding office in cities or members of
the board of trustees then holding office in villages or incorporated
towns.

The corporate authorities may provide, by ordinance, that any
map, plat, or subdivision of any block, lot, sub-lot, or part thereof, or
of any piece or parcel of land, shall be submitted to the corporate
authorities, or to some officer to be designated by them, for their or his
approval. In that case no such map, plat, or subdivision shall be entitled
to record in the proper county, or have any validity until it has been so
approved. If any municipality has adopted a subdivision ordinance pursuant
to Division 12 of Article 11 of this code, as heretofore and hereinafter
amended, all subdivision plats shall be submitted for approval and
approved in the manner provided in such ordinance. Until approved by the
corporate authorities, or such officer designated by them, no such map,
plat or subdivision plat shall be entitled to record in the proper county,
or have any validity whatever.
