1 AN ACT concerning urban rehabilitation.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by
5 changing Section 11-11-1 as follows:
6 (65 ILCS 5/11-11-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-11-1)
7 Sec. 11-11-1. Slums and blighted areas, rehabilitation
8 and redevelopment. The corporate authorities of each
9 municipality have the following powers: (1) to acquire by
10 purchase, condemnation or otherwise any improved or
11 unimproved real property the acquisition of which is
12 necessary or appropriate for the rehabilitation or
13 redevelopment of any blighted or slum area or any
14 conservation area as defined in Section 3 of the Urban
15 Community Conservation Act; (2) to remove or demolish
16 sub-standard or other buildings and structures from the
17 property so acquired; (3) to hold or use any of the such
18 property for public uses; and (4) to sell, lease or exchange
19 any such property that as is not required for the public
20 purposes of the municipality. In case of sale or lease the
21 provisions of Sections 11-76-1 through 11-76-3 shall govern
22 except when such sale or lease is made to a public
23 corporation or public agency, and except when the
24 municipality is the Local Public Agency under an urban
25 renewal project as defined in Section 11-11-2. Where a
26 municipality is such a Local Public Agency the corporate
27 authorities thereof shall have the same powers, and be
28 subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,
29 penalties and definitions of terms, and employ the same modes
30 of procedure in the conveyance of real property as are
31 prescribed in Sections 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 (except omitting
-2- LRB9203983MWpk
1 the provision requiring reimbursement of any public utility
2 by the purchaser) of the "Urban Renewal Consolidation Act of
3 1961", approved August 15, 1961, as the same are now or may
4 hereafter be amended, as fully as if provisions contained in
5 said sections of the "Urban Renewal Consolidation Act of
6 1961" were set forth herein, except that the term
7 "Department" as therein used shall, as applied to such
8 municipality, mean the municipality as Local Public Agency.
9 In case of exchange of property for property privately owned
10 3 disinterested appraisers shall be appointed to appraise the
11 value of the property exchanged and such exchange shall not
12 be made unless the property received by the municipality is
13 equal to or greater in value than the property exchanged
14 therefor, or if less than such value the difference shall be
15 paid in money. For the purposes of this section, "blighted or
16 slum area" means any area where buildings or improvements, by
17 reason of dilapidation, overcrowding, faulty arrangement or
18 design, lack of ventilation, light or sanitation facilities,
19 deleterious land uses, or any combination of these factors,
20 are a detriment to public safety, health or morals, and an
21 area of not less in the aggregate than 2 acres has been
22 designated by ordinance or resolution as an integrated
23 project for rehabilitation or redevelopment.
24 This amendatory Act of 1971 does not apply to any
25 municipality which is a home rule unit.
