However, if any municipality 24 adopts a plan pursuant to Division 12 of Article 11 which plan 25 includes in its provisions a provision that the plan applies 26 to such contiguous territory not more than one and one-half SB2160 - 4 - LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b SB2160- 5 -LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b SB2160 - 5 - LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b SB2160 - 5 - LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b 1 miles beyond the corporate limits and not included in any 2 municipality, then no other municipality shall adopt a plan 3 that shall apply to any territory included within the 4 territory provided in the plan first so adopted by another 5 municipality. No municipality shall exercise any power set 6 forth in this Division 13 outside the corporate limits 7 thereof, if the county in which such municipality is situated 8 has adopted "An Act in relation to county zoning", approved 9 June 12, 1935, as amended. Nothing in this Section prevents a 10 municipality of more than 112,000 population located in a 11 county of less than 185,000 population that has adopted a 12 zoning ordinance and the county that adopted the zoning 13 ordinance from entering into an intergovernmental agreement 14 that allows the municipality to exercise its zoning powers 15 beyond its territorial limits; provided, however, that the 16 intergovernmental agreement must be limited to the territory 17 within the municipality's planning jurisdiction as defined by 18 law or any existing boundary agreement. The county and the 19 municipality must amend their individual zoning maps in the 20 same manner as other zoning changes are incorporated into 21 revised zoning maps. No such intergovernmental agreement may 22 authorize a municipality to exercise its zoning powers, other 23 than powers that a county may exercise under Section 5-12001 24 of the Counties Code, with respect to land used for 25 agricultural purposes, except to allow special uses for 26 facilities permitted under the Livestock Management Facilities SB2160 - 5 - LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b SB2160- 6 -LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b SB2160 - 6 - LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b SB2160 - 6 - LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b 1 Act as provided in Section 11-13-1.1 of this Code. This 2 amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly is declarative of 3 existing law. No municipality may exercise any power set forth 4 in this Division 13 outside the corporate limits of the 5 municipality with respect to a facility of a 6 telecommunications carrier defined in Section 5-12001.1 of the 7 Counties Code. 8 Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the 9 contrary, 30 days prior to the issuance of any permits for a 10 new telecommunications facility within 1.5 miles of a 11 municipality, the telecommunications carrier constructing the 12 facility shall provide written notice of its intent to 13 construct the facility. The notice shall include, but not be 14 limited to, the following information: (i) the name, address, 15 and telephone number of the company responsible for the 16 construction of the facility, (ii) the address and telephone 17 number of the governmental entity that is to issue the 18 building permit for the telecommunications facility, (iii) a 19 site plan and site map of sufficient specificity to indicate 20 both the location of the parcel where the telecommunications 21 facility is to be constructed and the location of all the 22 telecommunications facilities within that parcel, and (iv) the 23 property index number and common address of the parcel where 24 the telecommunications facility is to be located. The notice 25 shall not contain any material that appears to be an 26 advertisement for the telecommunications carrier or any SB2160 - 6 - LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b SB2160- 7 -LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b SB2160 - 7 - LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b SB2160 - 7 - LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b 1 services provided by the telecommunications carrier. The 2 notice shall be provided in person, by overnight private 3 courier, or by certified mail to all owners of property within 4 250 feet of the parcel in which the telecommunications carrier 5 has a leasehold or ownership interest. For the purposes of 6 this notice requirement, "owners" means those persons or 7 entities identified from the authentic tax records of the 8 county in which the telecommunications facility is to be 9 located. If, after a bona fide effort by the 10 telecommunications carrier to determine the owner and his or 11 her address, the owner of the property on whom the notice must 12 be served cannot be found at the owner's last known address, or 13 if the mailed notice is returned because the owner cannot be 14 found at the last known address, the notice requirement of 15 this paragraph is deemed satisfied. For the purposes of this 16 paragraph, "facility" means that term as it is defined in 17 Section 5-12001.1 of the Counties Code. 18 If a municipality adopts a zoning plan covering an area 19 outside its corporate limits, the plan adopted shall be 20 reasonable with respect to the area outside the corporate 21 limits so that future development will not be hindered or 22 impaired; it is reasonable for a municipality to regulate or 23 prohibit the extraction of sand, gravel, or limestone even 24 when those activities are related to an agricultural purpose. 25 If all or any part of the area outside the corporate limits of 26 a municipality which has been zoned in accordance with the SB2160 - 7 - LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b SB2160- 8 -LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b SB2160 - 8 - LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b SB2160 - 8 - LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b 1 provisions of this Division 13 is annexed to another 2 municipality or municipalities, the annexing unit shall 3 thereafter exercise all zoning powers and regulations over the 4 annexed area. 5 In all ordinances passed under the authority of this 6 Division 13, due allowance shall be made for existing 7 conditions, the conservation of property values, the direction 8 of building development to the best advantage of the entire 9 municipality and the uses to which the property is devoted at 10 the time of the enactment of such an ordinance. The powers 11 conferred by this Division 13 shall not be exercised so as to 12 deprive the owner of any existing property of its use or 13 maintenance for the purpose to which it is then lawfully 14 devoted, but provisions may be made for the gradual 15 elimination of uses, buildings and structures which are 16 incompatible with the character of the districts in which they 17 are made or located, including, without being limited thereto, 18 provisions (a) for the elimination of such uses of unimproved 19 lands or lot areas when the existing rights of the persons in 20 possession thereof are terminated or when the uses to which 21 they are devoted are discontinued; (b) for the elimination of 22 uses to which such buildings and structures are devoted, if 23 they are adaptable for permitted uses; and (c) for the 24 elimination of such buildings and structures when they are 25 destroyed or damaged in major part, or when they have reached 26 the age fixed by the corporate authorities of the municipality SB2160 - 8 - LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b SB2160- 9 -LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b SB2160 - 9 - LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b SB2160 - 9 - LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b 1 as the normal useful life of such buildings or structures. 2 This amendatory Act of 1971 does not apply to any 3 municipality which is a home rule unit, except as provided in 4 item (12). 5 (Source: P.A. 96-904, eff. 1-1-11; 97-496, eff. 8-22-11.) 6 (65 ILCS 5/11-13-1.1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-13-1.1) 7 Sec. 11-13-1.1. The corporate authorities of any 8 municipality may in its ordinances passed under the authority 9 of this Division 13 provide for the classification of special 10 uses. Such uses may include but are not limited to public and 11 quasi-public uses affected with the public interest, 12 facilities permitted under the Livestock Management Facilities 13 Act, uses which may have a unique, special or unusual impact 14 upon the use or enjoyment of neighboring property, and planned 15 developments. A use may be a permitted use in one or more 16 zoning districts, and a special use in one or more other zoning 17 districts. A special use shall be permitted only after a 18 public hearing before some commission or committee designated 19 by the corporate authorities, with prior notice thereof given 20 in the manner as provided in Section 11-13-6 and 11-13-7. Any 21 notice required by this Section need not include a metes and 22 bounds legal description of the area classified for special 23 uses, provided that the notice includes: (i) the common street 24 address or addresses and (ii) the property index number 25 ("PIN") or numbers of all the parcels of real property SB2160 - 9 - LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b SB2160- 10 -LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b SB2160 - 10 - LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b SB2160 - 10 - LRB103 27338 RLC 53709 b 1 contained in the area classified for special uses. A special 2 use shall be permitted only upon evidence that such use meets 3 standards established for such classification in the 4 ordinances, and the granting of permission therefor may be 5 subject to conditions reasonably necessary to meet such 6 standards. In addition, any proposed special use which fails 7 to receive the approval of the commission or committee 8 designated by the corporate authorities to hold the public 9 hearing shall not be approved by the corporate authorities 10 except by a favorable majority vote of all alderpersons, 11 commissioners or trustees of the municipality then holding 12 office; however, the corporate authorities may by ordinance 13 increase the vote requirement to two-thirds of all 14 alderpersons, commissioners or trustees of the municipality 15 then holding office. 16 (Source: P.A. 102-15, eff. 6-17-21.)
