AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS XIII, XIV AND
XIV -B OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF
THE VILLAGE OF DEERFIELD
(B- BUSINESS DISTRICT)
WHEREAS, the Plan Commission of the Village of Deerfield,
pursuant to proper notice, as provided by statute and ordinance,
has held a public hearing upon the subject matter of certain
amendments to the Zoning Ordinance of the Village of Deerfield; and
WHEREAS, the said Plan Commission has recommended that the
Corporate Authorities amend said Zoning Ordinance in the manner

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD
OF TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF DEERFIELD, LAKE AND COOK COUNTIES,
ILLINOIS, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION That the Zoning Ordinance of the Village of
ONE: Deerfield passed May-4,.1953, as amended, be and
the same is hereby further amended by striking Sections XIII, XIV
and XIV -B in their entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the
following:
"SECTION XIII
B - BUSINESS DISTRICT
"A. PREAMBLE
The provisions of the B- Business District are
intended to provide:
1. For the orderly development of undeveloped
lots and parcels of property which are so zoned
in the Village, recognizing that significant
traffic problems exist along adjoining arterial
traffic routes, and that without careful plan-
ning and design such traffic problems may be
acutely intensified (a) by the construction of
unusually large buildings which generate sub-
stantial traffic and (b) by the division of
land into smaller parcels, which, in turn, may
create unnecessary driveways and unsafe vehicular
traffic patterns;
2. For the continued operation and functioning
of those compatible business establishments
which exist in the Village's business district
and are a necessary convenience to the residents;
3. For the orderly improvement and rejuvenation of
the Central Business District by providing
Planned Unit Development procedures and standards
to achieve the objectives set forth in the
Village's Comprehensive Plan. While lands south
of the existing business core in the area bounded
by the Commons on the north, Waukegan Road on the
east, the Sara Lee property on the south, and
the railroad tracks on the west, is characterized
predominantly by residential use, and therefore
should be protected by residential zoning, the
orderly redevelopment of these lands in substan-
tially large parcels or segments, in a progressive
pattern outward from the existing business area
is encouraged. The rezoning of such tracts to
the B District and the simultaneous application
of the Planned Unit Development provisions will
result in the orderly expansion of the business
district, and afford maximum protection to the
balance of the area which may remain in residential
use for a significant period of time. The term
"Central Business District," as used herein, shall
not be interpreted as a description of a zoning
district. The Central Business District contains
several zoning districts and is the area generally
bounded by Hazel Avenue on the north, Waukegan
Road and Rosemary Terrace on the east, the
northern boundary of the Sara Lee property on the
south and the Milwaukee Road right -of -way on the
west. Precise boundaries are illustrated on
Plate 2, Part II of the Comprehensive Plan
(adopted 2/2/71).
