The intent of this downtown Antioch form based code is to help set the foundation for a set of guiding principles that will foster a vibrant, pedestrian friendly, mixed use, transit oriented downtown. This chapter will outline and establish new development regulations for streets, blocks, and buildings that emphasize "building form", "public realm" and high quality site and building design in each of the distinct downtown districts.
This chapter shall act as a component to this title and shall be administered pursuant to the ordinances and regulations of the village of Antioch in compliance with the laws and statutes of the state of Illinois.
In order to clearly organize this chapter, a regulating plan has been developed (see figure 1.1 of this section). The downtown Antioch regulating plan outlines five (5) distinct character districts within the greater downtown area. These districts include:
Village core (VC)
Transitional core (TC)
Main Street transitional (MT)
Business park (BP)
Commercial edge (CE)
Additionally, areas of open space (OS) are found throughout the downtown area. While not its own unique district, preservation, enhancement and improvement to existing and new open spaces should be provided throughout downtown Antioch.
A more detailed discussion, illustrations of future target development sites and urban design standards are addressed in the following sections. Additionally, an outline of permitted and special land use categories is included per district.

DOWNTOWN ANTIOCH REGULATING PLAN
(Ord. 11-10-15, 10-17-2011)
A. Purpose: The regulating framework plan defines the desired physical form for downtown Antioch and sets development/building parameters such as land use, building height, massing, siting and setbacks and parking placement and ratios. This chapter incorporates not only the vision of the regulating plan, but also applies to, and regulates, parcels not specifically referenced in the plan.
Figure 2.1, "Downtown Antioch Target Opportunity Sites", of this section highlights downtown opportunity sites identified in the transit oriented planning/design process. For illustrative purposes, figures 2.2 and 2.3 of this section show the potential desired build out of these sites. These plans reflect the goals and objectives of the regulating plan and serve as a guide for village officials, property owners, and developers as they move forward with approving and implementing these projects within downtown.

B. Applicability: This chapter applies in the following instances:
1. Any new development/construction;
2. If the primary use within a building changes;
3. Exterior rehabilitation projects that involve the following: 1) change to exterior materials; 2) window alterations or replacement; 3) change in roofline; 4) exterior structural changes; 5) storefront alterations.
As mentioned, the regulating framework plan helps define physical form of the urban space. More specifically, the components that must be considered when developing, rehabilitating or renovating within each of the districts include: allowed land use, building height, building placement/massing and parking and servicing.
