This chapter divides this municipality into various districts and permits in each district as a matter of right only those uses which are clearly compatible with one another. Certain other uses, because of their special operational or physical characteristics, may or may not have a detrimental impact on nearby permitted uses, depending upon their precise location, manner of operation, and other factors. Such special uses require careful case-by-case review and may be allowed only by permission of the village board of trustees.

Within a reasonable time after the public hearing, the planning commission shall submit their advisory report to the village board of trustees. In deciding what their advice should be, the planning commission shall consider the following factors:

(2)

Whether the proposed special use is consistent with this village's comprehensive plan;

(3)

The effect the proposed special use would have on the value of neighboring property and on this village's overall tax base;

(4)

The effect the proposed special use would have on public utilities and on traffic circulation on nearby streets; and

(5)

Whether there are any facilities near the proposed special use (such as schools or hospitals) that require special protection.

(Ord. No. 95-4, § 10-3.3, 4-12-1995; Ord. No. 2009-02, § 3(Exh. A), 4-8-2009)

(Ord. No. 95-4, § 10-4.3, 4-12-1995; Ord. No. 2009-02, § 3(Exh. A), 4-8-2009)

The village board of trustees shall act on every proposed amendment at their next regularly scheduled meeting following submission of the planning commission's advisory report.

The board of appeals shall consist of five members, all of whom shall reside within this municipality. Each board member shall be appointed by the village president, with the advice and consent of the village board of trustees. One of the members so appointed shall be named as chairperson at the time of his appointment.

(Ord. No. 95-4, § 11-2.4, 4-12-1995; Ord. No. 2009-02, § 3(Exh. A), 4-8-2009)

A variance is a relaxation of the requirements of this chapter that are applicable to a particular lot, structure, or use. A so-called use variance (which would allow a use that is neither permitted nor special in the district in question) is not a variance; it is an amendment.

(Ord. No. 95-4, § 11-3, 4-12-1995; Ord. No. 2009-02, § 3(Exh. A), 4-8-2009)

Every application for a variance shall be filed with the administrator on a prescribed form. All applicable fees must be submitted to the village before the application will be processed. Every variance application shall also be filed with the Soil and Water Conservation District as per state law (70 ILCS 405.22.20a). The administrator shall promptly transmit such application, together with any device he might wish to offer to the board of appeals. The application shall contain sufficient information to allow the board to make an informed decision and shall include, at a minimum, the following:

(1)

The name and address of the applicant;

(2)

The location of the structure/use for which the variance is sought;

(3)

The relationship of such structure/use to the existing structures/uses on adjacent lots;

(4)

The specific sections of this chapter containing the regulations which, if strictly applied, would cause a serious problem; and

(5)

Any other pertinent information that the administrator may require.

(Ord. No. 95-4, § 11-3.1, 4-12-1995; Ord. No. 2009-02, § 3(Exh. A), 4-8-2009)

The board of appeals shall hold a public hearing on each variance request within a reasonable time after the variance application is submitted to them. At the hearing any interested party may appear and testify, either in person or by duly authorized agent or attorney. A notice indicating the time, date, and place of the hearing and the nature of the proposed variance shall be given not more than 30 nor less than 15 days before the hearing:

(1)

By first class mail to the applicant and to all parties whose property would be directly affected by the proposed variance; and

(2)

By publication in a newspaper of general circulation within this municipality.

(Ord. No. 95-4, § 11-3.2, 4-12-1995; Ord. No. 2009-02, § 3(Exh. A), 4-8-2009)

The board of appeals shall not recommend the granting of any variance unless, based upon the evidence presented to them they determine that:

(1)

The proposed variance is consistent with the general purpose of this chapter;

(2)

Strict application of the district requirements would result in great practical difficulties or hardship to the applicant and prevent a reasonable return on the property;

(3)

The proposed variance is the minimum deviation from such requirements that will alleviate the difficulties/hardships and allow a reasonable return on the property;

(4)

The plight of the applicant is due to peculiar circumstances not of his own making;

(5)

The peculiar circumstances engendering the variance request is not applicable to other property within the district, and therefore, that a variance would be a more appropriate remedy than an amendment (rezoning); and

(6)

The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the area where the premises in question are located nor materially frustrate implementation of this municipality's comprehensive plan.

(Ord. No. 95-4, § 11-3.3, 4-12-1995; Ord. No. 2009-02, § 3(Exh. A), 4-8-2009)

The board of appeals shall submit their advisory report to the village board of trustees on every variance request within a reasonable time after the public hearing, in accordance with state law (65 ILCS 5/11-13-11). The findings of fact shall clearly indicate the board's reasons for its recommendation in accordance with such standards.

(Ord. No. 95-4, § 11-3.4, 4-12-1995; Ord. No. 2009-02, § 3(Exh. A), 4-8-2009)

Upon the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived, no land shall be developed, no new use or structure shall be established or erected, and no existing use or structure shall be enlarged, extended, altered, relocated, or reconstructed until an initial certificate of zoning compliance has been issued. The administrator shall not issue an initial certificate of zoning compliance unless, following consultation with technically qualified persons as necessary, he determines that the proposed work conforms to the applicable provisions of this chapter.

(Ord. No. 95-4, § 9-2, 4-12-1995; Ord. No. 2009-02, § 3(Exh. A), 4-8-2009)
