PETITIONS
Petition 19-41 Kendall County Planning, Building and Zoning Committee
Mr. Asselmeier summarized the request.
For the last several months, the Planning, Building and Zoning Committee has been discussing allowing the Planning, Building and Zoning Department to issue citations in an effort to streamline and increase the time for obtaining compliance for violations to the Zoning Ordinance.
In summary, this proposal does the following:
1. Moves the procedure for handling violations of the signage portion of the Ordinance (Section 12) to the same section as the procedure for handling other violations of the Zoning Ordinance. Violations to the signage portions of the Zoning Ordinance will be treated the same as violations of other portions of the Zoning Ordinance.
2. Establishes the procedures for issuing citations and other remedies of violations to the Zoning Ordinance.
3. Abolishes the Hearing Officer for Zoning Ordinance violations. All citations will be sent to court for hearings.
4. Clarifies the fines the County may pursue in cases of violations.
5. Sets the fine structure for violations of the site plan review portions of the Zoning Ordinance as the same as other violations of the Zoning Ordinance.
6. Moves the procedure for handling violations of the site plan review portions of the Zoning Ordinance to the same section as the procedure for handling other violations of the Zoning Ordinance. Violations to the site plan portions of the Zoning Ordinance will be treated the same as violations of other portions of the Zoning Ordinance.
On October 7, 2019, the Planning, Building and Zoning Committee voted to initiate this text amendment and have the State’s Attorney’s Office assist in preparing the amendment. On November 12, 2019, the Committee reviewed the changes Staff incorporated based on the State’s Attorney’s Office’s comments and the Committee did not object to the changes to the proposal. The Committee was asked to review retaining the Hearing Officer. At their meeting on January
