This article codifies the Village's abrogation of the Affordable
Housing Planning and Appeal Act, 310 ILCS 67/1 et seq., and any amendments
thereto within the boundaries of the Village. The Village Board of
Trustees has specifically found since the Village is fully developed
and that it comprehensively regulates planning, zoning and development
within its boundaries, that the Village's compliance with the Affordable
Housing Planning and Appeal Act and any amendments thereto is impractical,
and not in the best interests of the health, safety and welfare of
the Village. The Village Board of Trustees has determined that the
Affordable Housing Planning and Appeal Act shall not apply within
the boundaries of the Village. The Village recognizes the need for
affordable housing within the region in which the Village is located.
The Village, in the exercise of its home rule authority, will give
due consideration to those needs and the opportunity to accommodate
new affordable housing within the Village when opportunities are presented
to develop or redevelop significant parcels for residential use within
the Village.
The Village Board of Trustees, pursuant to its home rule powers,
abrogates application of the Affordable Housing Planning and Appeal
Act, and any amendments thereto, within the Village corporate boundaries.
The Affordable Housing Planning and Appeal Act and any amendments
thereto, shall not apply within the boundaries of the Village.
Village ordinances, including, but not limited to, this Code,
which includes the Village Building Code, the Village Zoning Ordinance
and the Fair Housing Ordinance,[1] and the Village Comprehensive Plan, shall entirely supersede
the Affordable Housing Planning and Appeal Act and any amendments
thereto, and shall fully occupy the field in relation to matters of
planning, building, zoning and development within the boundaries of
the Village.
