Section 17.40.010 Special use exceptions, requirements and procedures.


Prior to the adoption of 17.40.010 on 01/16/2006, Section 17.40.010 read as follows.

    A.    The special exceptions listed in Figure 1 and their accessory buildings and uses may be permitted by the             plan commission and the governing body of the municipality in the districts indicated therein, in accordance         with the procedure set forth in this section and the requirements listed in Figure 1.

    B.    Upon receipt of an application for a permit for a special use exception by the building inspector, it shall be             referred to the plan commission for investigation as to the manner in which the proposed location and             character of the special use exception will affect the comprehensive community plan and how the standards         in Figure 1 are applied. The plan commission shall report the results of its study to the city council within             sixty (60) days following receipt of the application. If no such report has been filed with the city council     within this time period, the city council may proceed to process the application.

        1.    A fee for filing and publication costs, in an amount to be set by city ordinance from time to time,                 shall be paid to the city clerk, at the time the application is filed. All fees received hereunder by the             city clerk shall forthwith be paid over to the municipal treasurer to the credit of the general revenue             fund of the city.
        
        2.    Prior to filing the application for special use permit with the city’ s building inspector, the applicant             must obtain a list of the names and addresses of the owners of record of all property located within             two hundred fifty (250) feet in each direction from the outboundary of the property for which the                 special use permit is requested, as determined from the official tax records of the county where the             property is located. That information may be obtained in Monroe County, from the County                 Recorder, Monroe County Courthouse, 100 S. Main Street, Waterloo, IL 62298, and in St. Clair     County, from the County Recorder, St. Clair County Building, 10 Public Square, Belleville, IL                 62220. (65 ILCS 11-13-1.1 and 11-13-7).

            a.    Not more than thirty (30) days before the application is filed with the building inspector, the                 applicant must serve a written notice on the property owners aforesaid (either by certified                 mail return receipt required or personal delivery) stating:

                i.    The address of the location for which the special use exception is requested;
                ii.    A description of the special use exception requested;
                iii.     The name and address of the owners of the property for which the special use                         exception is sought;
                iv.    A statement the applicant intends to file a special use exception application with the                     city; and
                v.    The approximate date the application will be filed.

            b.    If, after a bona fide effort to determine such address by the applicant for the special use                     permit, the owner of the property on which the notice is required to be served cannot be                     found at his or her last known address, or the mailed notice is returned because the owner                 cannot be found at the last known address, this notice requirement shall be deemed                     satisfied. In addition to serving the notice herein required, at the time of filing the application                 for special use, the applicant shall file with the building inspector (to be furnished to the                     board of appeals) a complete list containing the names and last known addresses of the                     owners of the property required to be served, the method of service and the names and                     addresses of the persons so served. The applicant shall also file with the building inspector                 (for the building inspector to furnish to the zoning board) a written statement certifying that the applicant has complied with the requirements of this section of the city code. The board             of appeals shall hear no application for special use exception unless the applicant for the                     special use permit furnishes the list and certificate herein required.

        3.    The application for special use exception will be filed by the applicant with the city building                 inspector and the building inspector will forward the same to the city’ s zoning board of appeals (the             "zoning board" or "board of appeals") for public hearing.

        4.    The board of appeals shall, not more than thirty (30) nor less than fifteen (15) days before the                 hearing at which the application for special use is to be considered, send written notice to the                 persons appearing on the list furnished by the applicant, which notice shall contain the time and                 place of the hearing, the address of the location for which the special use is requested and the name             and address of the applicant for the special use and a brief statement of the nature of the special                 use requested.

        5.    The zoning board of appeals shall then conduct a public hearing after not less than fifteen (15) nor             more than thirty (30) days notice thereof is published in a newspaper published in the city. The                 notice shall contain the particular location for which the special use exception is requested as well                 as a brief statement of what the proposed special use exception consists. Within thirty (30) days                 after the public hearing, the zoning board of appeals shall file their written recommendations on the             special use permit application with the city council. If the zoning board of appeals fails to file their     recommendations with the city council within the time aforesaid, the application shall be deemed                 approved by the zoning board of appeals.

        6.    The city council shall then act on the special use permit application. If the zoning board has failed to             recommend approval of the special use permit application, then the favorable vote of a majority of             the aldermen holding office in the city council shall be required to approve the application and                 authorize the issuance of the special use permit. Approval of the application shall require the                 affirmative finding by the city council that:

            a.    The proposed special use exception is to be located in a district wherein such use may be                     permitted; and
            b.    The requirements set forth in Figure 1 for such special use exception will be met; and
            c.    The special use exception is consistent with the spirit, purpose and intent of the                     comprehensive community plan, will not substantially and permanently injure the                         appropriate use of neighboring property, and will serve the public convenience and welfare.
                If the special use permit application is approved, the city council shall enact an ordinance to                 order the building inspector to issue a zoning certificate for the special use exception.

    C.    An existing lawful use which is listed herein as a special use exception, and which is located in a district in         which such special use exception may be permitted, shall be considered a conforming use.

    D.    Any expansion of such special use exception involving the enlargement of the buildings, structures and land         area devoted to such use shall be subject to the procedure described in this section.

    E.    If the nature of the special use exception involves more than one of those listed in Figure 1, the applicant             may apply for a permit for the special use exception which most closely relates to the primary use; provided         that the requirements of all related uses will be met.

    F.    Any application for a building permit to construct or install a satellite earth station which would not fully             conform with the requirements of Chapter 17.42, as amended, shall be deemed an application for a permit             for a special use exception, and shall be treated in accordance with this section.
