The Village Board may, from time to time, on its own motion
or on petition, amend, supplement or change by ordinance the regulations
and districts herein or subsequently established, but no such amendments
shall be made without a public hearing before the Village Board Zoning
Committee and its report to the Village Board. Notice of the time,
place and purpose of such hearing shall be given as required by law.
In the case of written protest against any proposed amendment, under
the conditions specified in 65 ILCS 5/11-13-14, the amendment shall
not be passed except by a favorable vote of 2/3 of the Village Board.
All petitions praying for a change, amendment, or supplement
of the established zoning districts of the Village and regulations
connected therewith shall be filed by the person requesting such action,
and such petition shall contain the street address of the petitioner,
and lot number of any real estate owned by him adjacent to the area
proposed to be changed and shall also contain an accurate legal description
of the district or parts of districts proposed to be so altered. Such
petition shall also recite facts indicating that the proposed change
will not be detrimental to the general public interest and the purposes
of this chapter and shall further disclose the purpose for which such
property is sought to be used. Any notice required by this section
need not include a metes-and-bounds legal description, provided that
the notice includes the common street address or addresses and property
index number (PIN) or numbers of all the parcels of real property
contained in the affected area.
[Amended 1995; 12-2-2008 by Ord. No. 551]
