ZONING PERFORMANCE STANDARDS ENFORCEMENT PROVISION
The JPZ Committee discussed the possibility of creating a
permit which would grandfather existing business from the proposed
Text Amendment for the Zoning Performance Standards. The permit
is needed to alleviate any undue hardships on existing businesses,
and to avoid burdening the Plan Commission with a large number
of public hearings for a Special Use Permit.
The consensus of the Committee was to recommend creating
a permit (non-conforming use or existing use permit) with the
following provisions:
1. The permit will have an expiration date of five to seven
_years. The permit will be automatically renewed if the
same operation and owner is using the facility. The
permit, however, would be non-transferable to any new
owners.
2. The business must be in compliance with existing Village
codes and ordinances in order to be grandfathered. The
permit would allow for the ordinary operations of the
business subject to verification of its past practices.
3. The businesses with the permit would become a
non-conforming use and would either have to comply with
the present codes and ordinances or petition for a Special
Use permit if the business' operations would phusically
be expanded or if 50% of the business would be destroyed
due to a disaster such as a major fire, etc.

4. Three months would initially be allowed for any businesses
to apply for the permit, during which time they would
bring any existing violations into compliance. An
additional three months would be required for the
businesses to have dialogue with E & CD and Fire
Departments in their permit request, followed by an
additional six months for the Engineering & CD and Fire
Departments to inspect and verify the accuracy of the
information on the permit prior to its issuance.
5. No permit will be issued if the business is found to
be in violation of any State or Federal performance
standards, or in violation of existing Village codes
and ordinances.
6. The permit will allow grandfathering of Zoning Performance
Standards in all zoning districts.
In addition, the consensus of the JPZ Committee was to include
two text amendments in the proposed standards. First, a Special
Use permit for flammable and combustible material in Table 2,
Section 5,96 of the proposed standards should be allowed. Second,
a Special Use permit should be allowed only in the I-2 districts
where quantities exceed the table amounts in Section 5. 94 (Toxic
Substances - P. 30) Section 5. 96 (Explosive, Unstable or Highly
Reactive Materials - P. 33, and Flammable and Combustible Materials
- P. 34). These amendments would necessitate including these
substances and materials into the last paragraph of Section 5. 83.A,
"Special Uses in I-2 Industrial Districts"
