This chapter shall be known as, referred to, or cited as the "Village of Fox Crossing Development Ordinance" and is hereinafter referred to as "this chapter."
The purpose of this chapter is to provide a process for site plan review in conjunction with Chapter 435, Zoning, of the Municipal Code for land uses and developments which are subject to a building permit, zoning permit and/or conditional use permit.
The intent of this chapter is to promote the health, safety, morals, prosperity, and aesthetics of the Village and to help ensure that newly developed properties, expanded structures or redeveloped properties are compatible with adjacent development so that safety, traffic, overcrowding and environmental problems are minimized to the extent possible.
This chapter does not apply to one- and two-family residential units. This chapter does apply to the new construction or erection of any other building or structure, any addition to a building or structure, and new or expanded parking areas. A site plan review which is subject to this chapter is a condition precedent to the issuance of a building and zoning permit.
It is not intended by this chapter to repeal, abrogate, annul, impair, or interfere with any existing easements, covenants, deed restrictions, agreements, ordinances, rules, regulations, or permits previously adopted or issued pursuant to law. However, where this chapter imposes greater restrictions, the provisions of this chapter shall govern.
In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this chapter shall be held to be minimum requirements for the promotion of the health, safety, morals, prosperity and aesthetics of the Village. The provisions of this chapter shall be liberally construed in favor of the Village and shall not be construed as a limitation or repeal of any other power possessed by the Village of Fox Crossing.
If any section, portion, or provision of this chapter is invalid or unconstitutional, or if the application of this chapter to any person or circumstances is adjudged invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the other provisions or applications of this chapter which can be given effect without the invalid or unconstitutional provision or application.
Jurisdiction of these regulations shall include all lands and waters within the Village of Fox Crossing.
This chapter shall be effective after adoption by the Village of Fox Crossing Village Board and publication or posting as provided by law. Amendments hereto shall be made only after notice and public hearing.
The following words, terms, and phrases, when used in this chapter, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning. When not inconsistent with the context, words used in the present tense include the future, and words in the singular number include the plural number. The word "shall" is always mandatory.
