Montgomery Unified Development Ordinance Hearing Scheduled for October 7

Montgomery, IL – A public hearing scheduled to take place on Thursday, October 7, 2021, at 7P at Village Hall (200 N. River St.) will consider several changes and updates to the Montgomery Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Residents and business owners are welcome to learn more about the text amendments proposed to the Planning and Zoning Commission of the Village of Montgomery. 

“The most significant text change to this update is increasing the permitted fence height to 6 ft. in residential districts not bound otherwise by an annexation agreement or homeowner association,” says Director of Community Development Sonya Abt. Other changes include:

Residents and business owners should note that subdivisions regulated by an existing Annexation Agreement or Homeowners Associations (HOA) will supersede the amendments by the Village and all are strongly encouraged to reference these documents as well when considering property updates, especially regarding the fence height restrictions. 

At the hearing, members of the public wishing to speak will have a two-minute opportunity to address the commission.

The Village Board will consider the text amendment recommendations from the Planning & Zoning Commission at their October 11 meeting. Proposed changes will not be authorized or permitted until board approval of the document has been received. 

For questions, please get in touch with the Community Development Department at 630-896-8080. Additional information and current UDO are located online at MontgomeryIL.org.
