§ 216-135. Tax-exempt institutions.  


Latest version.
  • Nevertheless and notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this chapter, no tax-exempt institution shall be permitted in any district except as hereinafter provided:
    A. 
    All applications for the use of property by and for a tax-exempt institution shall be made to the Board of Appeals as provided in Article XI, § 216-108A(15).
    B. 
    No permit for the use of property by or for a tax-exempt institution shall be granted by the Board of Appeals unless the tax-exempt property within the Village is equal in assessed valuation to 10% or less of all property as shown on a current Village assessment roll, nor shall any such use be granted if the grant of such use shall so increase the quantum of tax-exempt property in the Village so that it shall exceed the aforesaid limitations; provided, however, that notwithstanding such limitations, a use permit for a tax-exempt institution may be granted if the order of the Board of Appeals shall incorporate a condition based upon a legally binding agreement between the institution and the Village that the Village shall receive annual payments of such sums of money as will, in the opinion of the Board of Trustees, fully compensate the Village for the rendition of municipal services, whether such services be governmental or proprietary or directly or indirectly, benefiting said institution.
    C. 
    The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to property owned by a municipal corporation and used for municipal purposes; that such property owned by a municipal corporation shall not be included in the computation of tax-exempt property in this section.
