Docket #1285; and
WHEREAS, the Village of Mount Prospect was in attendance and

WHEREAS, the legal notice of public hearing for Docket #1285

WHEREAS, testimony and statements made at the public hearing
indicated that the Zoning Board of Appeals of Cook County may recoonnend a

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PRESIDENT AND OOARD OF
TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT, COOK COUNrY, ILLINOIS:
SECTION 1: That the Village of Mount Prospect does hereby
formally endorse the proposed amendment as expressed in the legal notice of
public hearing for Docket #1285 before the Zoning Board of Appeals of Cook
County whereby the ordinance would be amended to the effect of repealing all
provisions permitting dwelling units and lodging rooms in the business
districts; and the Village does hereby state its reasons as follows:
(a) That the Zoning Codes of the Village of Mount Prospect reflect
a philosophy of keeping business districts separate and distinc
from residential districts with the view in mind that a mixed
classification which permits business and residential uses to
exist vertically together demands an intermingling of factors
attending the use of each which can only result in detracting
from the residential for the benefit of the business, thus
creating a form of urbanization which is inconpatible with
the residential character of our conmunity.
(b) That any planned development which permits the mixing of
business and multi-family should provide for lateral
separation or spacing and not vertical intermingling.
SECTION 2: The Village Clerk is hereby authorized to submit
certified copies of this Resolution to the Clerk of Cook County for
transmittal to the County Board; the Secretary of the Zoning Board of Appeals
of Cook County; and such other agencies as are deemed appropriate.
SECTION 3: This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from
and after its passage and approval in the manner provided by law.
