Title/Name/Summary

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF ORLAND PARK, AS AMENDED (SECTIONS 6-205.1, 6-207, 6-208, 6-210, 6-211 AND 6-306 - DRIVE-THROUGH LANES AND STACKING REQUIREMENTS)

Body

WHEREAS, the Corporate Authorities of the Village of Orland Park, an Illinois home rule municipality, have on February 8, 1991, adopted a Land Development Code (“the Code”) and zoning map; and

WHEREAS, amendments to the Code are adopted from time to time to insure that the Code is up to date and responsive to community needs; and

WHEREAS, an amendment has been proposed regarding drive-through lanes and stacking requirements in the Large Scale Planned Development (LPSD), General Business (BIZ), Manufacturing (MFG), Mixed Use Core (COR), and Mixed Use Office, Research and Industrial (ORI) Districts in the Code; and

WHEREAS, requiring a special use modification requirement for any drive-through between a building and the street is appropriate and allows for stronger design control; and

WHEREAS, regulating stacking requirements for drive-through lanes by land use is more effective than regulating by zoning district; and

WHEREAS, the Plan Commission of the Village held a public hearing on November 10, 2009 on whether the proposed amendments should be approved, at which time all persons present were afforded an opportunity to be heard; and

WHEREAS, a public notice in the form required by law was given of said public hearing by publication not more than thirty (30) days nor less than fifteen (15) days prior to said date in the Orland Park Prairie, a newspaper of general circulation published in this Village; and

WHEREAS, the Plan Commission of this Village has filed its report of findings and recommendation that the proposed amendments to Sections 6-205.1, 6-207, 6-208, 6-210, 6-211, and 6-206 of the Land Development Code of the Village be made, and this Board of Trustees has duly considered said report and findings and recommendations.
