Peoria City Zoning Code

ARTICLE 11

- INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS

11.1. - General Provisions.

The general provisions of the Industrial Districts are set forth in Article 3, General Regulations, Uses Permitted with Administrative Approval, Section 3.1.

In addition, the provisions of the Riverfront Overlay and Neighborhood Conservation Overlay Districts may apply to new development in the three (3) Industrial Districts.

Refer to the Official Zoning Map for the exact location of the overlay districts.

Every use of land or structures shall be operated in compliance with all applicable local, state and federal regulations including the State of Illinois Pollution Control Board rules and regulations hereby incorporated by reference.

11.2. - Performance Standards.

Any use established in an Industrial District after the effective date of this Chapter shall be so operated as to comply with the performance standards established hereafter. Any use already established on the effective date of this Chapter shall be permitted to be altered, enlarged, expanded, or modified, providing that the addition conforms to the performance standards established hereinafter for the district in which such use is located.

Every application for a building permit or occupancy permit within an Industrial District shall have affixed to it the certificate of a registered professional engineer licensed by the State of Illinois certifying that the building or structure, and the proposed use thereof, complies with all the provisions of this Zoning Code respecting performance standards for industrial and similar uses. The Zoning Administrator shall, upon receipt and upon complete review (either by said Zoning Administrator and/or any outside technical review agency selected by the City) of such application, approve and authorize the issuance of a building permit or occupancy permit as the case may be, provided the applicant has complied with all other relevant provisions of this Code.

If the Zoning Administrator determines it desirable to have some outside technical agency review plans and application, then the applicant shall pay to the City in advance a sum sufficient to reimburse the City for such technical reviews. The Zoning Administrator may, however, withhold issuance of a building permit or occupancy permit as a result of examination of the plans or on the basis of other evidence if he determines that the proposed activity will not in fact comply with the performance standards and he shall so advise the architect or engineer in writing of such denial.

The Zoning Administrator may also obtain an injunction or other appropriate legal or equitable relief, including but not limited to specific performance, writ of mandamus or mandatory injunction, to prevent, remedy, or abate any violations which occur after a building or occupancy permit is issued, which relief shall be in addition to any ordinance prosecutions for fines only. Each day a violation exists shall be considered a separate occurrence and violation as outlined in Section 2.16 [2.18] of this Zoning Code.
