Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide. Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.
MUNICIPALITIES (65 ILCS 5/) Illinois Municipal Code. 65 ILCS 5/11-12-12
(65 ILCS 5/11-12-12) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-12-12)
Sec. 11-12-12.
No map or plat of any subdivision presented for record
affecting land (1) within the corporate limits of any municipality which
has heretofore adopted, or shall hereafter adopt an ordinance including an
official map in the manner prescribed in this Division 12, or (2) within
contiguous territory which is not more than 1 1/2 miles beyond
the corporate limits of an adopting municipality, shall be entitled to
record or shall be valid unless the subdivision shown thereon provides for
streets, alleys, public ways, ways for public service facilities, storm and
flood water run-off channels and basins, and public grounds, in conformity
with the applicable requirements of the ordinances including the official
map; provided, that a certificate of approval by the corporate authorities,
certified by the clerk of the municipality in whose jurisdiction the land
is located, or a certified copy of an order of the circuit court directing
the recording as provided in Section 11-12-8, shall be sufficient evidence
of compliance with this section upon which the recorder may accept
the plat for recording.
The provisions of this Section do not apply to any plat for consolidation
of 2 or more contiguous parcels, located within any territory
that is outside of the corporate limits of a municipality but within a county
that has adopted a subdivision ordinance and that has a population of more than
250,000, into a smaller
number of
parcels if the sole purpose of the consolidation
is to bring a non-conforming parcel into conformance with local
zoning requirements.
The exemption created by this amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly
does not apply to a plat for consolidation for an area in excess of 10 acres
or to any consolidation that results in a plat of more than 10 individual lots
following the consolidation. If the county receives a request to approve a plat
for consolidation pursuant to this Section, the county must notify
all municipalities located within 1 1/2 miles of the subject property within 10
days after receiving the request.

Joint plan commissions.
Whenever the corporate
authorities of 2 or more municipalities having a population less than 500,000
determine that unincorporated land and territory lying adjacent to any one or
more of such municipalities, or land and territory comprising a portion of
such municipalities, or land and territory both lying adjacent to such
municipalities and being a part of such municipalities forms a contiguous
region and such land and territory (i) is or was formerly owned by the United
States of America or any department thereof, (ii) is located entirely within a
county having a population of not less than 500,000 nor more than 1,000,000
persons, (iii) has been annexed or is intended to be annexed to one or more of
such municipalities, and (iv) comprises not less than 500 nor more than 800
acres, the said corporate authorities are hereby empowered, by
intergovernmental agreement between or among the municipalities, to define the
boundaries of such region and to create a joint plan commission having one,
some, or all of the powers set forth in this Section.
(1) Membership of joint plan commissions. The joint plan commission shall
consist of such number of persons known as "members" as shall be set forth in
the intergovernmental agreement. The parties, acting by and through their
mayors or village presidents with the advice and consent of each of their
respective corporate
authorities, shall appoint the members who shall hold office as set forth in
such intergovernmental agreement. If authorized to do so by such
intergovernmental agreement, the joint plan commission may employ a staff to
assist in the administration and enforcement of zoning and building codes or
ordinances throughout the region.
(2) Powers and duties of joint plan commissions. The corporate authorities
by such intergovernmental agreement may provide for the joint plan commission
to have all or some of the functions, powers and duties contained in Divisions
12, 13, 14, and 15 of this Article 11 of this Code.
(a) The joint plan commission shall be a | | recommendatory body only and all recommendations thereof shall be advisory to all of the corporate authorities of the municipalities which have entered into such intergovernmental agreement and affect only that incorporated land and territory of the region lying within the corporate limits of such municipalities.
|
|
(b) Such intergovernmental agreement may further
| | authorize such joint plan commission exclusive jurisdiction to apply and enforce the respective zoning and building codes and other applicable codes of each municipality concerning the land within the region lying within the respective corporate limits of such municipality and may provide for immediate removal of such region from the jurisdiction of such municipalities' plan commissions, zoning boards of appeal, and other bodies or officials authorized to exercise such powers and duties.
|
|
(c) Such intergovernmental agreement may authorize
| | such joint plan commission to establish rules and procedures consistent with this Section as may be necessary to carry out the terms of such intergovernmental agreement.
|
|
(3) Conflict resolution.
(a) In order to become effective in matters
| | within its jurisdiction, a recommendation of any such joint plan commission pursuant to this Section shall require the approval set forth in the intergovernmental agreement. The intergovernmental agreement creating a joint plan commission shall establish procedures for the consideration and approval or disapproval by such municipalities of the joint plan commission's recommendation, and for the resolution between or among the municipalities of disputes or differences arising from any recommendation of the joint plan commission. Once effective, any such recommendation regarding rezoning, variations, or special uses shall require the adoption of a suitable ordinance by the corporate authorities of only that municipality within whose corporate limits lies the land and territory which is the subject of such recommendation.
|
|
(b) Any party to such intergovernmental agreement
| | may by civil action, mandamus, injunction or other proceeding, enforce and compel performance of the agreement.
