10-1-1: INTENT AND PURPOSE:
A community impact statement (CIS) shall be prepared in accordance with village requirements. The purpose of the community impact statement is to supplement site, landscaping, engineering, grading, architectural, and subdivision plans by providing the village with detailed information about the effect which a proposed project is likely to have on the community and its environment, and to list ways in which any adverse effects of such project might be minimized. The submission requirements under this chapter are in addition to those listed elsewhere, including, but not limited to, the subdivision ordinances. The standards and requirements for preparing development plan documents, as referenced herein and in other village ordinances, shall be used in preparing appropriate sections of the community impact statement regarding such documents. The village council may waive the requirement for a community impact statement where submission of such a study is not warranted due to the nature and/or scale of the application.
