PRESERVATION OF HISTORICAL
AND OTHER SPECIAL AREAS
|
(65 ILCS 5/11-48.2-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-48.2-1)
Sec. 11-48.2-1.
It is hereby found and declared that in all municipalities
the movements and shifts of population and the changes in residential,
commercial, and industrial use and customs threaten with disappearance
areas, places, buildings, structures, works of art and other objects having
special historical, community, or aesthetic interest or value and whose
preservation and continued utilization are necessary and desirable to sound
community planning for such municipalities and to the welfare of the
residents thereof. The granting to such municipalities of the powers herein
provided is directed to such ends, and the use of such rights and powers
for the preservation and continued utilization of such property is hereby
declared to be a public use essential to the public interest.

(65 ILCS 5/11-48.2-1A) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-48.2-1A)
Sec. 11-48.2-1A.
(1) The development rights of a landmark site are the rights granted
under applicable local law respecting the permissible bulk and size of
improvements erected thereon. Development rights may be calculated in
accordance with such factors as lot area, floor area, floor area ratios,
height limitations, or any other criteria set forth under local law for
this purpose.
(2) A preservation restriction is a right, whether or not stated in the
form of a restriction, easement, covenant or condition, in any deed, will
or other instrument executed by or on behalf of the owner of the land or in
any order of taking, appropriate to the preservation of areas, places,
buildings or structures to forbid or limit acts of demolition, alteration,
use or other acts detrimental to the preservation of the areas, places,
buildings or structures in accordance with the purposes of the Division.
Preservation restrictions shall not be unenforceable on account of lack of
privity of estate or contract, or of lack of benefit to particular land or
on account of the benefit being assignable or being assigned.
(3) A transfer of development rights is the transfer from a landmark
site of all or a portion of the development rights applicable thereto,
subject to such controls as are necessary to secure the purposes of this
Division. The transfer of development rights pursuant to sound community
planning standards and the other requirements of this Division is hereby
declared to be in accordance with municipal health, safety and welfare
because it furthers the more efficient utilization of urban space at a time
when this objective is made urgent by the shrinking land base of urban
areas, the increasing incidence of large-scale, comprehensive development
in such areas, the evolution of building technology and similar factors.
(4) A development rights bank is a reserve into which may be deposited
development rights associated with publicly and privately-owned landmark
sites. Corporate authorities or their designees shall be authorized to
accept for deposit within the bank gifts, donations, bequests or other
transfers of development rights from the owners of said sites, and shall be
authorized to deposit therein development rights associated with (i) the
sites of municipally-owned landmarks and (ii) the sites of privately-owned
landmarks in respect of which the municipality has acquired a preservation
restriction through eminent domain or purchase. All transfers of
development rights from the development rights bank shall be subject to the
requirements of Sections 11-76-1 through 11-76-6 of the Municipal Code of
Illinois, and all receipts arising from the transfers shall be deposited in
a special municipal account to be applied against expenditures necessitated
by the municipal landmarks program.
(5) The term, public easement, shall have the same meaning and effects
herein as it has in Article IX, Section 3 of the Illinois Constitution of
1870 and Article IX, Section 4(c) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970.
This amendatory Act of 1971 does not apply to any municipality which is a
home rule unit.

individual, corporation or other governmental or private entity for the
purpose of aiding, either in general or in connection with some specific
designated property, the preservation or enhancement of areas, places,
buildings, structures, works of art or other objects designed by law under

pursuant hereto for the purpose of refunding or refinancing any bonds

injunction or other civil action compel the municipality to perform any covenant
or duty created by the ordinance authorizing their issuance; and (i)
establishment of procedures authorizing owners of designated property to
transfer development rights in such amount and subject to such conditions
as are appropriate to secure the purposes of this Division.
Any such special conditions, regulations, or other measures, shall, if
adopted in the exercise of the police power, be reasonable and appropriate
to the preservation, protection, enhancement, rehabilitation,
reconstruction, perpetuation, or use of such areas, places, buildings,
structures, works of art, or other objects so designated by law, or, if
constituting a taking of private property, shall provide for due and just
compensation. This amendatory Act of 1971 does not apply to any
municipality which is a home rule unit.

The Authority shall have continuing power to borrow
money for the purpose of carrying out and performing its duties and

For the purpose of evidencing the obligation of the Authority to repay
any money borrowed as aforesaid, the Authority may, pursuant to ordinance
adopted by the Board, from time to time issue and dispose of its interest
bearing revenue bonds, and may also from time to time issue and dispose of

pursuant to redemption provisions or at any time before maturity with the
consent of the holders thereof. All such bonds shall be payable solely from
the revenues or income to be derived from the exhibitions, rentals and
leases and other authorized activities operated by it, and from funds, if
any, received and to be received by the Authority from any other source.
Such bonds may bear such date or dates, may mature at such time or times
not exceeding 40 years from their respective dates, may bear interest at
such rate or rates, not exceeding the maximum rate permitted by "An Act to
authorize public corporations to issue bonds, other evidences of
indebtedness and tax anticipation warrants subject to interest rate

performed for the benefit of the holders of any such bonds or interest
coupons by the provisions of the ordinance authorizing their issuance, or
to enjoin the Authority and any of its officers, agents or employees from
taking any action in conflict with any such contract or covenant.
Notwithstanding the form and tenor of any such bonds and in the absence
of any express recital on the face thereof that it is non-negotiable, all
such bonds shall be negotiable instruments under the Uniform Commercial Code.
From and after the issuance of any bonds as herein provided it shall be
the duty of the corporate authorities of the Authority to fix and establish
rates, charges, rents and fees for the use of facilities acquired,
constructed, reconstructed, extended or improved with the proceeds of the
sale of said bonds sufficient at all times, with other revenues of the
Authority, to pay:
(a) The cost of maintaining, repairing, regulating and operating the
said facilities; and
(b) The bonds and interest thereon as they shall become due, and all
sinking fund requirements and other requirements provided by the ordinance
authorizing the issuance of the bonds or as provided by any trust agreement
executed to secure payment thereof.
To secure the payment of any or all of such bonds and for the purpose of
setting forth the covenants and undertakings of the Authority in connection
with the issuance thereof and the issuance of any additional bonds payable
from such revenue income to be derived from the exhibitions, office
rentals, air space leases and rentals, and other revenue, if any, the
Authority may execute and deliver a trust agreement or agreements; provided
that no lien upon any physical property of the Authority shall be created
thereby.
A remedy for any breach or default of the terms of any such trust
agreement by the Authority may be by mandamus, injunction, civil action
and proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction to compel
performance and compliance therewith, but the trust agreement may prescribe
by whom or on whose behalf such action may be instituted.
Before any such bonds (excepting refunding bonds) are sold the entire
authorized issue, or any part thereof, shall be offered for sale as a unit
after advertising for bids at least 3 times in a daily newspaper of
general circulation published in the metropolitan area, the last
publication to be at least 10 days before bids are required to be filed.
Copies of such advertisement may be published in any newspaper or financial
publication in the United States. All bids shall be sealed, filed and
opened as provided by ordinance and the bonds shall be awarded to the
highest and best bidder or bidders therefor. The Authority shall have the
right to reject all bids and readvertise for bids in the manner provided
for in the initial advertisement. If no bids are received, however, such
bonds may be sold at not less than par value, without further advertising,
within 60 days after the bids are required to be filed pursuant to any
advertisement.
