This chapter contemplates an administrative
and enforcement officer titled the "Zoning Administrator" to administer
and enforce the same. Certain considerations, particularly with regard
to granting of permitted conditional uses, planned unit development
conditional uses, changes in zoning districts and the Zoning Map and
amending the text of this chapter require review and recommendation
by the Plan Commission and ultimate action by the Village Board. A
Zoning Board of Appeals is provided to assure proper administration
of this chapter and to avoid arbitrariness.
