Zoning, building permits and septic rules in Village of Union Hill, Illinois

Rules another office applies inside Village of Union Hill

Village of Union Hill does not set these itself; the county, a health district or the state does, and they apply to every address inside its limits.

• Zoning districtsPartial

  Parcels inside Union Hill village, for which the Kankakee County zoning FAQ says the county administers zoning; the FAQ lists setback districts A-1, A-2, R1, R2, RE and C1 but is not the full district map

  • County administers zoning for Union Hill village per county FAQ; the village's own zoning status is unresolved (see local_zoning).
  • The FAQ lists these district rows: a-1 (agriculture), a-2 (agriculture estate), r1 (residential), r2 (high-density residential), re (rural estate), c1 (restricted commercial).
  • Full district text and the zoning map are held in the Kankakee County Zoning Ordinance, which the county says controls; the FAQ is not the ordinance.

  “kankakee county administers the zoning for the village's of cabery, irwin, reddick, and union hill.”

• SetbacksDistrict specific (with conditions)

  Principal single-family residential structures on R1 (residential) parcels inside Union Hill village, where Kankakee County administers zoning per county FAQ

  • The FAQ says: the setbacks outlined below are for principal structures.
  • Table columns read front / side / rear; the FAQ text as captured has the header 'n/a front side rear', so the column mapping is inferred from the row order and should be confirmed against the ordinance.
  • Village-level setback rules do not apply unless the village adopts its own zoning (see local_zoning).

  front setback, principal structure (R1): 30 feet · side setback, interior lot (R1): 6 feet · side setback, corner lot (R1): 30 feet · rear setback, principal structure (R1): 40 feet

  “r1 (residential) 30 feet 6 feet - interior / 30 feet - corner lot 40'”
