This chapter is enacted to regulate the use of private and public property and structures with the purpose of protecting public health, safety and welfare. Standards and regulations within this chapter regulate the amount, type and use of a building allowable on a piece of land. This chapter is a tool used by the community to effectuate the recommendations of the community master plan, which is a guide for the long-term physical development of the village.

(Ord. No. 202, art. 4, § 1, 11-6-2017)

The village is hereby divided into the following districts, which shall be known as:

(Ord. No. 202, art. 4, § 2, 11-6-2017)

The purpose of this district is to provide for one- and two-family residential development of spacious character, together with such churches, recreational facilities, and accessory uses as may be necessary or are normally compatible with residential surroundings and, at the same time, to preserve open spaces. This district is located to protect existing development and contains vacant land considered appropriate for such residential development in the future.

(Ord. No. 202, art. 4, § 3, 11-6-2017)

The purpose of this district is to maintain a residential environment while permitting a wide variety of dwelling types. Single-family, two-family, and multiple-family dwelling units are permitted on medium sized lots, together with such churches, recreational facilities, and accessory uses as may be necessary or are normally compatible with residential surroundings. Population densities and height of buildings permitted are low enough to be generally compatible with single-family development in the same general neighborhood.

(Ord. No. 202, art. 4, § 4, 11-6-2017)

The purpose of this district is to encompass the retail service and office area of the central business district and permit a wide variety of uses to provide basic trade and services to the village and the area surrounding the village. This district is intended to provide a centralized location for trade and service activities having regional influence.

(Ord. No. 202, art. 4, § 5, 11-6-2017)

The purpose of this district is to provide sufficient space in appropriate locations for a wide variety of commercial and miscellaneous service activities, including certain uses requiring large land areas which are not desirable in the central business district. These uses are located particularly along certain existing major thoroughfares where a general mixture of commercial and service activity now exists, but which uses are not characterized by extensive warehousing, frequent heavy trucking activity, open storage of material, or the nuisance factors of dust, odor and noise, associated with manufacturing.

(Ord. No. 202, art. 4, § 6, 11-6-2017)

The purpose of this district is to provide for a wide variety of light manufacturing, fabricating, processing wholesale distributing, and warehousing uses appropriately located for access by major thoroughfares or railroads. Commercial uses and open storage of materials are permitted but new residential development is excluded.

(Ord. No. 202, art. 4, § 7, 11-6-2017)
