hardships, or unique circumstances, shall also take into consideration the extent to
which the following facts, favorable to the applicant, have been established by the

specific property involved would bring a particular hardship upon the
owner as distinguished from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of
the regulation were to be carried out.
b) The condition upon which the petition for variation is based would not be
applicable generally to the other property within the same zoning
classification.
c) The granting of the variation will not be detrimental to the public welfare
or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in
which the property is located.
d) The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air
to adjacent property, or substantially increase the danger of fire, or
otherwise endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair
property values within the neighborhood.

make more money out of the property.

restrictions upon the premises benefited by a variation as may be necessary to comply
with the standards set forth in this chapter to reduce or minimize the injurious effect
of such variation upon other property in the neighborhood, and to implement the
general purpose and intent of this chapter.
(E) Unauthorized Variations: The variation procedure shall in no case be used to accomplish a
result which could otherwise be achieved by a rezoning of the property involved, such as, but
not limited to, establishment or expansion of a use not permitted in a residential district;
authorizing the construction of residences in other than residential districts; nor authorizing
other than single-family detached residences in the R-1 and R-2 districts. (Ord. 567, 11-1976)

(A) Purposes: This chapter is based upon the division of the City into districts, within any
one of which the use of land and buildings, and the bulk and location of buildings or
structures as related to the land are essentially uniform. It is recognized, however, that
there are buildings and uses wluch, because of their unique characteristics cannot be
properly classified in any particular district without consideration, in each case, of the
iinpact of those buildings and uses upon neighboring property or consideration of the
public need for the particular buildings or uses at the proposed location. Such special
uses fall into the following categories:
1. I3uildings and uses entirely private in character but of such a nature that their
construction and operation may give rise to unique problems with respect to their
iillpact upon neighboring property or public facilities;

reglilated utility; and
3. Planned unit developments.

such infornlation as shall be established from time to time by the planning commission.

use unless it is deemed necessary of the public interest or convenience at the location or,
if private in character;
1. It is so designated, located, and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety
and welfare will be protected; and
2. It will not cause appreciable injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood
in which it is located; and
3. It will not subvert or defeat the primary purpose of the zoning ordinance, or of the
zoning district or area for which it is proposed, when its effect is considered in
conjunction with the cumulative effort of the number of various special uses of all
types already located in the adjacent area and in the City as a whole; and
4. It is one of the special uses listed in chapters 3 through 13 of this title. In the event
tlie special use is a planned development, the provisions of chapter 13 of this title
shall also be applied.
(D)Conditions: The Joint Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend, and the City
Council may provide, such conditions and restrictions upon the construction, location,
and operation, of a special use, including, but not limited to, provisions for off street
parking and loading, signs, and accessary uses, as may be deemed necessary to promote
the general objectives of this chapter and to minimize injury to the value of property in

Commission.
(D) Decisions: The city council, upon request of the Joint Planning and Zoning Commission, and
without further public hearing, may vote upon the adoption of any proposed amendment in
accordance with applicable Illinois statutes, or may refer it back to the Joint Planning and
Zoning Commission for further consideration. In case of a written protest against any
proposed amendment of the regulations or districts, signed and acknowledged by the owners
