Department of Community Development
Ordinance No. 03-26 includes a series of amendments to Chapter 14
(Buildings and Building Regulations) of theVillage Code.This ordinance is
part of a broader, comprehensive code update that will amend several
chapters of the Village Code. Each chapter amendment will be adopted
through a separate ordinance. In total, approximately six (6) ordinances
will be considered as part of this effort.
Due to the volume of revisions and the number of code sections being
amended,Village staff proposes to adopt the code updates in two (2)
phases to improve clarity, efficiency, and ease of review for the Planning
and Zoning Board and Village Council.

I . Section 14- 1 : Hours of Construction
This amendment revises Section 14- 1 to align the permitted hours of
construction with Section 30- 361 of the Village Code. Section 30-361
was amended in 2025 to modify Saturday construction hours from
7:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.; however, Section 14- 1 was
not updated concurrently. This amendment eliminates conflicting
provisions and ensures consistency within the Code.
