SB3855 Summary

• Amends Section 11-13-1.1 of the Illinois Municipal Code concerning municipal zoning and special uses classification.

• Makes a technical change by striking and replacing "The" at the beginning of the section (appears to be a grammatical correction).

• Preserves existing provisions allowing municipalities to classify special uses through ordinance, including public uses, quasi-public uses, and planned developments.

• Maintains requirements that special uses receive public hearing approval from a designated municipal commission or committee with prior notice.

• Requires special uses to be approved by majority vote of all sitting aldermen, commissioners, or trustees if rejected by the hearing body, with option for municipalities to increase requirement to two-thirds vote.
