When a particular use or uses, or class of uses, is not specifically identified in this chapter but is of the same general character as those listed as permitted principal or accessory uses, or permissible by special use, the Zoning Officer shall make a determination as to whether such use is permitted. The Zoning Officer shall give due consideration to the intent of this chapter concerning the zoning district involved, the character of uses specifically identified, and the character of the use or uses in question.

If a zoning lot is, or will be, occupied by a permitted use without structures, then the minimum front, side or rear yards that would otherwise be required for such zoning lot shall be provided and maintained, unless some other provision of this chapter requires or permits a different front, side or rear yard; provided, however, that front, side and rear yards shall not be required on zoning lots used for open or public recreation areas.

Each accessory structure shall comply with the bulk regulations applicable in the zoning district.

Accessory structures must conform to all applicable fire and building codes, including, but not limited to, the setback distance between the accessory structure and any principal structure.

Notwithstanding the above provisions, no accessory building or structure shall encroach on a utility easement without waivers from the local public or quasi-public entities or utility companies to which such easement was dedicated.

If the grade change is greater than one foot, a cross section of the property along the two lots where the fence is to be erected shall be prepared, reviewed and approved by the Chief Building Official prior to the erection of a fence.

The maximum space between the average grade and the base portion of the installed fence is not to exceed three inches.

All fences or walls located in the front yard shall not exceed a height of four feet above grade and shall not exceed 50% opacity.

Application review standards and criteria. In addition to any generally applicable standards for consideration of special use permit applications pursuant to § 220-1209, the Plan Commission and Village Board shall consider the following standards and criteria in determining whether to recommend or issue a special use permit:

Applicants seeking a special use permit for a WCF may apply to the Village for a variance from the provisions of this section on such form as may be prescribed from time to time by the Village. Variance applicants shall be responsible to provide the Village with all submittals required in connection with a special use permit application, but the Zoning Officer shall have the discretion to waive one or more required submittals upon his determination that the nature of the variance being sought does not necessitate the consideration of a particular submittal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all variance applicants shall submit a written report with the variance application detailing the necessity and rationale for the requested variance, which report shall at a minimum refer to the variance standards and criteria hereinafter set forth.

In the review and consideration of variance applications, the Plan Commission and Village Board shall utilize the following standards and criteria:

Effective upon approval of this section, any public safety agency defined above serving the Village of Homer Glen shall be allowed to reserve space on a WCF at no charge to the Village, or on a Village utility pole for future public safety uses, including co-location of emergency communications equipment.

A reservation of space on a Village utility pole may not preclude the co-location of a small wireless facility unless the Village reasonably determines that a Village utility pole cannot accommodate both uses.

Any equipment installed by a public safety agency on a WCF or small wireless facility shall not interfere with the wireless provider's usage of the WCF, or small wireless facility, such that it would cause unacceptable interference with the wireless provider's communications equipment.

This section shall allow a public safety agency to share electrical power supplied, by either the wireless provider or an electrical utility, to the equipment of a public safety agency installed in a base station of a WCF or the power distribution equipment of a small wireless facility, or to add an emergency generator owned by the public safety agency to the base station shelter building or platform serving a WCF.
