For the purposes of carrying out the regulations in this chapter, the village is hereby divided into the following districts:
(A) Agricultural District.
(1) AG-1 Agriculture. Intent. The intent of this zoning district is to prevent scattered, indiscriminate urban development within areas which are predominately vacant and which presently do not demonstrate any significant potential for development. Large area of vacant land can be preserved for future residential and industrial development according to economic and physical need.
(B) Residential Districts.
(1) RS Residential Suburban. The intent of this zoning district is to provide for detached, single-family dwellings on large lots (a minimum of approximately 14 acres, or 20,000 square feet, in size) with related uses for recreational, religious, or cultural activities. Some accessory uses are also allowed. This is a rural, very low density, residential district, generally located between an AG-1 and R-1 or R-2 District.
(2) R-1 Residential District (Single-Family). The intent of this zoning district is to provide for detached, single-family dwelling with related uses for recreational, religious, or cultural activities. Some accessory uses are also allowed. This district should be protected from encroachment of uses that create significant negative impacts upon the residential area. This a low density, residential district.
(3) R-2 Residential District (Single-Family). The intent of this zoning district is to provide for detached, single-family dwellings with related uses for recreational, religious, or cultural activities. Some accessory uses are also allowed. This district should be protected from encroachment of uses that create significant negative impacts upon the residential area. This is a medium-density, residential district.
(4) R-3 Residential District (Two-Family). The intent of this zoning district is to provide for detached, single-family dwellings, two-family, attached dwelling (duplexes), and accessory uses. These areas may include related uses for recreational, religious, or cultural activities. Some accessory uses are also allowed. This district should be protected from encroachment of uses that create significant negative impacts upon the residential area. Densities in this district range from four to eight dwelling units per acre.
(5) R-4 Residential District (Multi-Family). The intent of this zoning district is to provide for (low density/medium density/etc.) multifamily dwellings. The multifamily buildings are generally low-rise, lower density apartment of two to three stories. Open space and recreational amenities should be provided for residents. The R-4 District is appropriate next to areas with low density single family development patterns and may serve as a transitional use. Density is controlled by floor area ratio and open space ratio. The average density will range from 12 to 30 units per acre.
(6) R-5 Mobile Home (Manufactured Home) Park. The intent of this zoning district is to provide for developments of mobile (manufactured) home parks, including mobile (manufactured) homes, recreational vehicles, house trailers, and mobile (manufactured) home park service buildings. This district allows unified developments where individual pads are provided for owners of mobile (manufactured) homes. All developments are subject to provisional use review and all units must comply with current HUD construction codes and the Illinois Manufactured Home Community. These developments are generally more in character with single-family detached neighborhoods with private open space for each dwelling unit.
(C) Commercial Districts.
(1) CB Central Business District. The primary intent of the Central Business District is to provide for high density retail, service, and office development mixed with residential units, parking, and institutional uses that are located in the urban core. This district has high intensity uses in terms of scale of buildings, traffic that is generated, size of businesses, and hours of operation. The floor area ratio in this district is the highest density allowed by this chapter. Public parking is provided in this district,reducing the necessity of providing on-site parking for individual businesses. The area draws heavy pedestrian traffic from nearby residents and employees in the area.
(2) CN Commercial Neighborhood District. The intent of the Commercial Neighborhood District is to provide for the development of convenience shopping and personal service needs of surrounding residential neighborhoods, specifically apart from the Central Business District. This is a low density commercial district. Overall sizes can range up to ten acres with proper design. These areas should have good access to arterial and collector streets and provisions for bicycle and pedestrian traffic.
(D) Industrial District.
(I) I-1 Industrial District. It is the intent/ purpose of the Industrial District to provide for the development of light industrial uses such as service or wholesale establishments, manufacturing establishments, distribution, research and development, and storage. Limited retail sales and services related to the industrial uses may also be permitted as accessory uses. Performance standards minimize the potential for significant byproducts or hazardous uses. It is preferable to have a transitionarea between the I-1 District and residential areas. I-1 Districts can be served by local street system designated for trucks, although, the street system should exit to an arterial or truck route. Traffic from the industrial area through residential areas is discouraged.
(E) Public Land Overlay District.
(1) PL Public Lands. The intent of the Public Lands Overlay District is to serve as an overlay district for public uses such as schools, parks, colleges, and other government facilities. The district recognizes the more intense use of land while underlying zoning regulates signage and space requirements. The intensity of uses in this district can range from low intensity parkland to high intensity, high traffic generators such as athletic fields. Low intensity uses in this district, such as parks, are appropriate next to residential uses. High intensity uses require a buffer or transition area.
