A.
Authority. The Plan Commission shall have authority to prepare and
recommend to the Board of Trustees a Comprehensive Plan of the Village
and the unincorporated areas surrounding the Village and from time
to time to prepare and recommend amendments thereto, any or all of
which the Board of Trustees may adopt as the "Official Comprehensive
Plan of the Village of Bannockburn," all in accordance with the procedures
set out in this section.
B.
Definition. The "Official Comprehensive Plan" shall be defined as
a compilation of policy statements; goals; standards; maps; recommended
planning, regulatory, fiscal, and public works programs; pertinent
data relative to the past, present, and future trends of the Village
with respect to its population, housing, economic, social, and environmental
development patterns and its land, water, and natural resources and
use and its transportation facilities, public facilities, and utilities;
and any other matter relative to the present and future patterns of
life within the Village or within the unincorporated areas lying within
1 1/2 miles of its boundaries as they may from time to time exist,
prepared and recommended by the Plan Commission with the advice and
assistance of the Building Commissioner and adopted by the Board of
Trustees by ordinance duly enacted, together with such amendments
thereto as may be adopted from time to time. The term "Official Comprehensive
Plan" also shall refer to any internally consistent and complete portion
of such a compilation relating to any one or more of the aforesaid
subjects or to any specific portion of the aforesaid geographical
area. As of the effective date of this code, the term "Official Comprehensive
Plan" shall be understood to include the following documents:
[Amended 5-22-2017 by Ord. No. 2017-12]
(1)
The Bannockburn Comprehensive Plan, as approved by the Board
of Trustees, or any successor plan or amendment that may be approved
by the Board of Trustees.
(3)
The Bannockburn-Lake Forest Jurisdictional Boundary Agreement
dated November 2, 1987, as approved by Resolution No. 87-R-11 on October
26, 1987, and as thereafter from time to time amended.
C.
Purpose. The Official Comprehensive Plan shall be considered an official
statement of the policy of the Village with respect to the existing
and developing character of the various areas of the Village and its
vicinity; the proper objectives, standards, and direction for future
maintenance, growth, development, and redevelopment of the Village;
the means to be employed to protect existing character or development
and to encourage future development that will be in the best interests
of the Village; and the actions and programs to be undertaken by the
Village with respect to its future maintenance and development.
D.
Effect. After the adoption of the Official Comprehensive Plan or
a part thereof, no ordinance, regulation, or Official Map relating
to the physical maintenance, development, or redevelopment of the
Village or any land within it shall be enacted, established, amended,
or varied and no right-of-way, street, utility, or public structure
or land shall be authorized, established, developed, redeveloped,
or modified in location or extent except in accordance with the policies,
goals, objectives, principles, and standards of the Official Comprehensive
Plan or relevant part thereof unless the Board of Trustees shall first
make a specific finding that the facts and circumstances affecting
the particular matter justify a departure from the Official Comprehensive
Plan.
E.
Procedures.
(1)
Plan development. The Plan Commission, with the assistance of the Building Commissioner, shall exercise the powers and duties delegated to it by § 260-1103 of this Article XI in the continuing development and revision of the Official Comprehensive Plan. The process of plan development is necessarily an informal one not readily adaptable to rigid procedures, but the Plan Commission and the Building Commissioner, in developing a plan, shall make all reasonable efforts to obtain the views, comments, and criticisms of interested persons. In addition, the Plan Commission, prior to making any recommendation for the adoption or amendment of a plan or part thereof to the Board of Trustees, shall set, notice, and conduct a public hearing thereon in accordance with the provisions of § 260-1133 of this Article XI.
(a)
The Board of Trustees may, at any time, refer a plan to the
Plan Commission for consideration and recommendation. In the case
of such referral, the Plan Commission shall return its recommendation
to the Board of Trustees not later than 90 days following the receipt
of the referral. In the event such recommendation is not so delivered,
the Board of Trustees may proceed to consider the plan without such
recommendation.
(b)
When satisfied that a plan or a part thereof is adequate for
adoption as or an amendment of the Official Comprehensive Plan of
the Village or a part thereof, the Plan Commission shall transmit
such plan or part thereof to the Board of Trustees, together with
its recommendations for adoption of such plan as well as any reports
or statements deemed necessary to a full consideration of such plan
or part thereof. Such reports or statements may include majority and
minority positions. Such transmittal shall be made not later than
15 days following the close of the public hearing concerning such
plan.
(2)
Plan adoption. Upon receiving any recommendation of the Plan
Commission with respect to the adoption or amendment of any plan or
a part thereof, the Board of Trustees, by ordinance duly enacted,
may adopt such plan in whole or in part, with or without amendments;
or may refer such plan or any part thereof back to the Plan Commission
for further consideration; or may reject such plan. The Board of Trustees
shall take such action not later than 90 days following the close
of the Plan Commission public hearing on such plan. The failure of
the Board of Trustees to act within such period shall be deemed to
be a rejection of the plan. Upon the adoption of any such plan or
part thereof, it shall be designated as the "Official Comprehensive
Plan of the Village of Bannockburn" and, if less than a total Comprehensive
Plan, shall carry a subheading designating its specific contents.
(3)
Plan amendment. The Official Comprehensive Plan, or any part thereof, may be amended at any time in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph (3). Such an amendment may be initiated by the Board of Trustees, the Plan Commission, the Building Commissioner, or by any owner of property affected by the provisions of such plan sought to be amended. Amendments initiated by the Board of Trustees, the Plan Commission, or the Building Commissioner shall require no formal application and shall be processed as provided in Paragraphs E(1) and E(2) of this section. Amendments initiated by the owner of affected property shall be initiated by an application filed pursuant to § 260-1131 of this code, except that the time limits specified in Paragraphs E(1) and E(2) of this section shall apply.
(4)
Plan filing and notice of adoption. The ordinance adopting the
Official Comprehensive Plan, or any part thereof, shall provide that
the Building Commissioner shall cause a certified copy thereof to
be placed on file in the Office of the Village Clerk and shall cause
a notice evidencing the adoption of such plan, or part thereof, to
be filed with the Recorder of Deeds of Lake County, Illinois.
A.
Authority. The Plan Commission shall have authority to prepare and
to recommend to the Board of Trustees an Official Map of the Village
and the unincorporated areas surrounding the Village and from time
to time to prepare and recommend amendments thereto, all of which
the Board of Trustees may adopt as the "Official Map of the Village
of Bannockburn."
B.
Definition. The "Official Map" shall be defined as a compilation
of maps, standards, and specifications of and for existing and proposed
rights-of-way, streets, alleys, utility easements, public grounds,
and public utility systems within the Village or within the unincorporated
area lying within 1 1/2 miles of its boundaries as they may from
time to time exist, prepared and recommended by the Plan Commission
with the advice and assistance of the Building Commissioner, and adopted
by the Board of Trustees by ordinance duly enacted, together with
such amendments thereto as may be adopted from time to time. The term
"Official Map" also shall refer to any internally consistent and complete
portion of such a compilation relating to any one or more of the aforesaid
subjects or to any specific portion of the aforesaid geographical
area. The Official Map referred to in this section is the map authorized
by Section 11-12-6 et seq. of the Illinois Municipal Code (65 ILCS
5/11-12-6 et seq.).
C.
Purpose. The Official Map is adopted to implement the Official Comprehensive
Plan, to assure the adequacy of the public facilities to which it
relates, and to secure for the Village the authority and benefits
provided by state law in connection with such an Official Map.
