Illinois SB4209 amends the Counties Code and the Illinois Municipal Code to allow counties and municipalities to classify infrastructure services as either minor or major utilities. Electrical substations are classified as minor utilities if they are limited in scale and designed to minimize impacts on surrounding properties. They are classified as major utilities if they have a net site area or floor area of 0.5 acres or more, are located within 660 feet of a residential, business, commercial, park, or open space zoning district, or include outdoor equipment yards.
