PLAN COMMISSIONS

(65 ILCS 5/11-12-4) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-12-4)
Sec. 11-12-4.
Every municipality may create a plan commission or a planning
department or both. A plan commission shall be appointed by a mayor of a
city or president of a village board subject to confirmation by the
corporate authorities. Members of the plan commission shall reside within
the municipality or within territory contiguous to the municipality and not
more than one and one-half miles beyond the corporate limits and not
included within any other municipality. A planning department shall be
created, organized and staffed in such manner as the municipality may
provide by ordinance. The plan commission shall consist of a chairman and
members serving for such terms and such compensation, if any, as the
corporate authorities of the municipality may prescribe by ordinance. The
ordinance may provide that the plan commission shall have a paid secretary
or staff or both. Any plan commission or planning department now existing
and officially created by ordinance of any municipality may continue to
function under the authority of such prior ordinance and any such plan
commission or planning department shall have and exercise all the powers
conferred by law as fully as if it had been created hereunder. Any
municipality which has or shall hereafter create a plan commission or
planning department may appropriate from any funds under its control and
not otherwise appropriated, such sums as the corporate authorities may deem
proper for the maintenance and operation of such plan commission or
planning department, including the salaries of all paid members and
employees; the development of a planning program; the preparation of
regulations, projects and programs pertinent to the development,
redevelopment and renewal of the municipality and such surrounding
territory over which the municipality exercises subdivision jurisdiction;
the preparation and revision of the official map and the exercise of such
powers germane to the purposes for which it was created as may be conferred
upon the plan commission or planning department by ordinance.
Municipalities may accept, receive and expend funds, grants and services
from the federal government or its agencies, or from the State of Illinois
or its agencies or from private persons or corporations or foundations for
planning purposes generally or for planning specific projects.

Sec. 11-12-4.1.
Whenever a municipality of more than 500,000
population has created a plan commission pursuant to the provisions of
this Division 12, every plan, design or other proposal by any public
body or agency which requires the acquisition or disposition of real
property within the territorial limits of the municipality by any public
body or agency, or which changes the use of any real property owned or
occupied by any public body or agency or the location of any improvement
thereon within the territorial limits of the municipality, shall be
referred to the plan commission by such public body or agency not less
than 30 days prior to any election for the purpose of authorizing the
borrowing of money for, or any action by such public body or agency to
appropriate funds for, or to authorize such changes or the acquisition
or disposition of such real property, but in no event shall such
referral be less than 30 days prior to making such changes or acquiring
or disposing of such real property. The plan commission shall review
every such plan, design or other proposal and shall within 30 days after
submission thereof report to the public body or agency having
jurisdiction over such real property or improvement thereon concerning
the conformity of the plan, design, or other proposal with the long
range planning objectives of the municipality and with the official plan
for the municipality or any part thereof if the same shall then be in
effect as provided in Section 11-12-2. Such report shall be spread of
record in the minutes or record of proceedings of such public body or
agency. A report that any such plan, design, or other proposal is not in
conformity with the long range planning objectives of the municipality,
or the official plan for the municipality shall be accompanied by a
written statement of the respects in which such conformity is lacking
but such a report shall not bar the public body or agency having
jurisdiction over such real property or improvement thereon from
thereafter making such changes or acquiring or disposing of such real
property. The failure of the plan commission to report on any such plan,
design, or other proposal within 30 days after submission of the same to
it, shall be deemed to be a report that such plan, design, or other
proposal conforms in all respects with the long range planning
objectives and the official plan of the municipality.
As used in this section the terms "public body" or "agency" include
the State of Illinois, any county, township, district including the Chicago
Park District, school,
authority, municipality, or any official, board, commission or other
political corporation or subdivision of the State of Illinois, now or
hereafter created, whether herein specifically mentioned or not.
