3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by
5 changing Section 11-13-1.1 as follows:
6 (65 ILCS 5/11-13-1.1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-13-1.1)
7 Sec. 11-13-1.1. Special uses. The corporate authorities
8 of any municipality may in its ordinances passed under the
9 authority of this Division 13 provide for the classification
10 of special uses. Such uses may include but are not limited to
11 public and quasi-public uses affected with the public
12 interest, uses which may have a unique, special or unusual
13 impact upon the use or enjoyment of neighboring property, and
14 planned developments. A use may be a permitted use in one or
15 more zoning districts, and a special use in one or more other
16 zoning districts. A special use shall be permitted only after
17 a public hearing before some commission or committee
18 designated by the corporate authorities, with prior notice
19 thereof given in the manner as provided in Section 11-13-6
20 and 11-13-7. A special use shall be permitted only upon
21 evidence that such use meets standards established for such
22 classification in the ordinances, and the granting of
23 permission therefor may be subject to conditions reasonably
24 necessary to meet such standards. In addition, any proposed
25 special use which fails to receive the approval of the
26 commission or committee designated by the corporate
27 authorities to hold the public hearing shall not be approved
28 by the corporate authorities except by a favorable majority
29 vote of all aldermen, commissioners or trustees of the
30 municipality then holding office; however, the corporate
31 authorities may by ordinance increase the vote requirement to
